Dairy Wisdom.

Milk must be properly cooled and ita
temperature kept regular either by nat
ural OF artificial means.
The dairyman who knows how to
feed and care for his cows knows two
very important items in dairying.
Cotton seed meal gives rich milk,
but is too nutritious to be used alone,
and II colors butter highly.
A churn should not be filled more
than two-thirds of its capacity, so as to
leave room for agitating the cream.
Churning at too high temperature
or churning too long will produce
greasy butter in which the grain is in
jured.
Never use the hands In working but
ter as the less hand contact butter gets
the better; also be careful not to over
work 1t.
Sour cream makes tough butter and
is lacking in that delicate aroma that
attaches to butter made from cream
that is ripe, but not sour, although
sour cream churns quicker than sweet
IL the cream is too cold. either the
butter will hardly come at all or 1t will
come white and poor favored
II the milk is left at too high a tenn
perature the milk sOurs and becomes
rancid before all Of the cream rises.
One Of the very best foods for milk
production is bran, oil meal. corn
meal and plenty Of good clover hay.
A heifer calf intended for dairy
COW should be trained from birth with
this in view and be made gentle and
tractable.
Cream should be we'll stirred and
given plenty Of time to ripen evenly
before it is put into the churn.

Improvement by Selection.

Every one would like to have the
ideal hen that begins laying in Novem-
Der, keeps it up all winter and raises
flock of nice plump cockerels and
good laying pullets in the summer
when eggs are cheap. To secure such
class of poultry, we would say get
some pure-bred foundation stock and
then select for the desired end. Sc
lection is the groundwork of improve
ment, not only in poultry. but also in
all farm stock. December laying strains
do not come by chance. To get this
trait, the puliets are hatched early, fed
well to maturity, well cared for in the
fall, and when there is a marked ten
dency shown by few individuals to
get down to earnest work, the eggs OF
these few are used the following year
for Matching, and so the work for i'm
provement goes on. The same course
Is followed in producing table fowl.
Every one can practice this improve
ment II the trouble is taken, and when
the work is undertaken intelligently
and with determination the trouble Is
considerably decreased. The lean,
long-legged hen, and the over-fat, idle
individual should go to the kitchen
early in their existence; then when
spring comes and the time for hatch
ing begins, the eggs from the most de-
sirable types need only be used. This
systematic selection is the only way
In which We can increase the useful
ness of our poultry and the profits OF
poultry raising.

Care of Horses,

Many are prone to allow their horses
to run out through all kinds Of wealth.
er until late in the fall. and until their
coats become rough and shaggy. This
is wrong. Frosty grass Is not good
for horses that have been used to dry
feed and must yet do hard work. They
should be stabbed as soon as the nights
become uncomfortably cool, and then
they may be turned out to grass again
after the sun has dispelled the frost.

Tsps of potntoes,

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ire.
land with It's potato crop and outdoes
most other countries. Fully nm eighth
of the arabic land of the empire Is
planted to this nutritious vegetable.
Half the large yield is used directly
rs human food a considerable por-
ton is given over to fattening stock.
There still remains an enormous sur
plus after that. however, and 1t Is the
success with which Germans have met
In turning this surplus into manufac-
turing products that Is most remark
able.
Among these manufactured prod
ucts are starch, glucose, potato flour,
dextrln and starch sugar. each OF
which appears prominently on the list
of German exports, altogether contrib
uting large sums every year to the
profits of German manufacturers ana
exporters. But the alcohol which the
Germans make from the potato is the
most valuable and wonderful product
of all. This as light producer fairly
rivals the electric current, 1t is said.
The apparatus for It's practical use
includes lamps, chandeliers. street and
corner lights. in which alcohol vapor
is burned like gas in hooded flame,
covered by Welsbach mantle. So
used. potato alcohol is described as
burning with an incandescent flame
equaling the electric light in brilliancy.
Indeed, we are officially told now by
our Consul General at Berlin that po-
tato alcohol is competing with gas and
electricity with increasing success
every year.-Washington Times.

Pavements of Milk.

A land flowing with milk is an an.
cient idea, but streets paved with it is
notion essentially modern. 1t is be-
ing seriously proposed to the munich
pa.Ny of Paris by a contractor OF
standing. He claims for a pavement
OF indurated milk the advantages OF
durability and noiselessness.

Quality in Cows.

Some cows that give a very large
quantity of rich milk are very poor
butter animals, as the cream does not
rise we'll and the butter globules can
not be separated from the milk by Or
dinary methods of churning. Churn-
ing separately is the only way of de-
tecting this undesirable quality in
COW.

AS result of a conference held Friday
at noon In the Office OF William Garstang,
superintendent of motive power of the
Big -Four, at which fourteen representatives
or the striking boiler makers on this divi-
sion OF the Big Four met officials of the
road, decision was reached by which the
strikers returned to work yesterday morn
Ing. They return to work under the same
scale that existed when they went on strike,
pending an adjustment by President NJ. E.
ingalls,. A number Of the boiler makers
went back to work Friday afternoon. About
150 boiler makers were on strike at differ
ent points over the State, but they will all
the conference Friday. John Mcneil, presi-
dent OF the union was the leading delegate
In the conference from the boiler makers.
The other delegates were from the different
cities Of the State where the boiler makers
were on strike
The boiler makers of this division of the
Big Four walked out Of the shops about a
week ago, demanding an increase in wages
amounting to cents hour. The Big
but offered a compromise which the
strikers refused to accept. Several confer
ences have been held by the two parties,
but they were unable to come TO an agree
ment until yesterday. The Big Four off,
Gals claim that the boiler makers did not
give them time to consider the matter. The
settlement of the wage scale will be deter
that he will grant the men an increase or
Oh cents an hour. They are receiving now
80 cents an hour. All the strikers will be
back in the shops this week.

trades will hold convention at the Grand
Hotel in this city and perfect the building
trade trust, which was begun some time
ago. A meeting of a number of representa-
tives was held III indianapolis not long
ago and preliminary plans TO form the
central legislative body, TO which the diff
ierent building trades will bring their in
tereStS for settlement. The movement is
watched with the greatest interest among
labor circles or the country for the rea-
son that IL is a drawing apart OF the build
ing trades into great federation OF their
own. Despite the fact that officials OF the
building trades say il Il not against the
American Federation OF Labor IL is gen.
orally believed that the building trades will
Withdraw their representatives from that
body.
The convention will be held Thursday in
the Grand Hotel. About thirty delegates,
representing a million and a half of wage
earners, will be present Upon later con-
sideration II was decided by those at the
head OF the movement to include the cleo
tricians In the movement and consequently
tney Will De represented. The formation
OF the trust is one OF the greatest move
ments in the labor field to-day, as II means
the building UP of another federation. The
object OF the movement, il is stated, Is to
secure legislative body skilled In the
building trades. and hence capable of man
aging their interests In the best possible
manner. The complaint of the building
trades from the American Federation of
Labor was that their interests were acted
upon oy body that was not acquainted
with their interests and therefore they did
not receive proper benefit from the repre-
Sentation.
Among the organizations that IL is pro-
posed to bring into the combination are the
brotherhood Of Carpenters and Joiners, the
Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and
Paper Hangers. the Journeymen Bricklay-
ers, the Masons' International Union, the
United Association of Plumbers. Gas Fit
ters, Steam Filters and Steam Filters
Helpers. the Hold Carriers, the Building
Laborers' International Union and the In
terpational Union Of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers.

would Not Accept Money.

The BARRIERS unions of St. Louis recently
started movement to raise a fund OF
$4,000 for Secretary Klapetzky, who is now
travelling in California for his health. The
project was meeting with a good deal Of
success, when Mr.. Klapetzky heard Of 1t
and wrote to those at the head Of the move
ment. stating that he would not accept the
fund under any consideration and would
rather see it turned over to the organiza-
ton. The plan has since been discouraged
Secretary Klapetzky has been the main
figure in the BARRIERS union ever since it
was organized, and has devoted a greater
part of his later life to it's interests. Lately
his health broke down and he was forced to
take a leave of absence and go to Califor-
MIA, where he now is In Los Angeles. He
will return to his duties at the head Of the
union just as soon as he regains his health
The BARRIERS union has met with consid-
cradle success since 1T has moved its head
quarters to this city. Organizer Fisher has

NEW STORE OPENED.


Charles ID. Persons Handsome Wash
ington-Street Cigar ParIors.
Charles d. Pierson, a wholesale cigar and
tobacco dealer at 16 South Meridian street,
yesterday opened I'D a handsome retail
store in the Cordova building at % West
Washington street.
Mr.. Pierson has spared no expense in fit
ting up his store. The walls OF the room
have been tinted In a light green and the
woodwork Is OF solid mahogany. On the
east wall is large mahogany case where
cigars. cigarettes and tobacco are kept.
The show cases, of mahogany and beveled
glass, are the newest designs. From the
ceiling hang two heavy brass chandeliers,
each having five lights with shades of tiff
fany glass furnished by Cassidy, of New
York. In the center OF the room is a tall
aquarium. four feet high with a rich dark
green marble base. The drinking fount on
the west wall is a beautiful affair, the
water being drawn from a heavy bronze
head by means of push button. The
water for the fount is cooled by melting ice
water falling upon a coil in the cellar: the
water Is thus kept free from impurities
contained in the ice.
Mr.. Pierson has fitted up a den In the
rear or his store where his visitors can en-
joy their cigars. An ante-room has been
built In which the stock of cigars will be
kept moistened. The walls are lined with
absorbent pads. over which a zing lining
has been placed; the floor is made of brick
and radiators at the top and bottom of the
room give ventilation. This room is the
only one of its kind in the city and ia a
valuable addition to the store.
Max Schatz. a large cigar manufacturer
of New York city, sent a handsome floral
horseshoe for the opening, made by Berter-
man Bros. florists, of this city. Many
friends called upon Mr.. Pierson and ex-
pressed themselves as greatly pleased with
the store.
