CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and sulphurfe
Acid for Passing Bread.

Housekeepers have recently been So
iicited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme OF
some baking powder manufacturer to
get a new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House.
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are well known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them we're recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed Of
sh~arp-pointed grains of ground flint
and s%ulphuric acid!
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of a phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get a brand well known
to be made of cream of tartar, which Is
3 healthful product of the grape.

Pat Took the Trick.

Patrick Kelly was the only man
who owned jaunting car in the whole
village of L, in Kerry, and as he
had a monopoly of the business, he
made a very good thing by letting it
out on hire to the neighboTs.
One day Kelly, according to report,
INDUCED too freely at the village inn,
and as he became a danger to the
community by violently assaulting
anybody he CHANGED to meet in the
street he was taken in charge and
locked up.
The next day he was brought be-
fore the magistrate and fined 40 sfil-
lings, with the option of seven days.
When sentence was passed, Kelly
scratched his head for a second and
then informed his honor chat if it
was all the same to him he'd be TAX
ing the seven days"
Now, the prison was ten miles away,
and the only possible means of get
ting a prisoner there was by driving.
AS Kelly himself had the only car in
the place, there was nothing to do
but hire it.
For some time the constable and his
prisoner haggled over the terms.
Kelly stuck out firmly for so shil-
lings, to be paid in advance, and at
last the constable had to consent to
the extortion. Accordingly they drove
off, and without any misadventures
arrived at the prison.
When they alighted, Kelly suddenly
informed his companion that he'd
changed his mind, as the prison
wasn't a decent looking place, and
would pay the fine.
He %thereupon drew out the so shil-
lings he had received, counted out the
40, and paid them over to the in
spector. Then, jumping on his car,
he drove away, leaving the constable
to walk back.-London Tit-Bits.

er pleasantly, and after a few remarks
about the weather and the crops, ex-
planned his errand.
Want to interview me, eh?" said
the farmer, 81 never had any expert
enc givin' interviews, but If your
heart is set on it, go ahead. What do
you want me to talk aDout?"
"Well," said the reporter, scratching
his nose, reflectively, suppose you
give me your views on reciprocity"
Couldn't have suited me better for
a subject, mister. The fact is I've been
thinkin' a good deal about reciprocity
lately. l believe in it. l don't mean
reciprocity with Cuba nor Canada, al
though that may be all very well in
it's place. What I want to see is reci-
procity right here in the United States.
| think reciprocity like charity should
begin at home. l want the fellows
who have been enjoying the blessings
of protection for a good many years to
reciprocate a little with the farmers"
What do you %propose?" asked the
wielder of the pencil, who began to
see that he raj getting more than he
expected.
"Well," said the farmer, "I want
some plan adopted by which a part of
the tariff collected will get back to
the rural districts. I understand
there's a fellow down there in congress
who has introduced a bill that will do
the business. I mean that bill pro-
vidin' for the government to aid in
improvin' the roads in the rural dis
tricts. That would be a great blessing
not only to the farmers. but to every
body. Talk about developing re-
sources! I'd like to know what would
do more to develop this country than
buildin' good roads. If this plan was
adopted a few millions Of the taxes
the farmers pay would come back to
them, and there couldn't be no charge of
special privilege, either. for the money
would be spent for public improvement
and would benefit all sections and all
classes. Now I want to see the city
people who have been protected SO
long turn in and help the farmers get
that law passed. That's the kind Of
reciprocity l believe in"
How much more the farmer might
have said the reporter will never
know, for the interview was just then
interrupted by a blast from the din
ner horn.

FARMER WAS NO FOOL.
He Preached "a New Kind of Reel
prOcity to the Reporter who
Came to Interview Him.


A Washington correspondent of one
of the great dailies, feeling "all III
down" as a result of vain attempts to
manufacture news about Prof. Lang
ley's ''buzzard" recently concluded to
go back into the rural districts Of
Maryland to recuperate. After a few
days Of rest, his journalistic instinct
reasserted itself, and he decided it
would be an amusing experience to go
out and interview some of the farmers.
Securing a pad he started up the road
sharpening his pencil and whistling

long ne saw a farmer cutting corr in
a field alongside of the road. Climb

THISTLES MAKE GOOD FEED.
On Discovery of This Fact Obnoxious
Weed Ceased to Grow in
Kansas.

F. d. Coburn, secretary of the Kan.
sas state board of agriculture, issued a
bulletin two years ago in which he de-
clared that the Russian thistle, when
properly cured, made excellent feed for
stock. Since then the thistle has
ceased to grow wild in the northwest
ern part of the state, where it waa
most plentiful at that time. In many
counties where it was common a few
years ago it has become extinct. The
Russian thistle a few years ago was
the most dreaded weed pest known to
farmers. 1t was said that if it once
started it would drive out all other
vegetables. Notwithstanding all pre-
cautions, the seed was brought into
northwestern Kansas with other seed
and the plant gained a firm foothold
in several counties. The papers print
ed columns about the necessity of up
roofing it and the legislature passed a
law on the subject, but the thistle ON
tinued to thrive.
Then cattlemen in the northwest dis
covered that cattle eat it and they tried
! putting up some as hay. The expert
ment was a success, as the cattle would
eat it in preference to most other kinds
of hay, and it produced good results
Now it seems that the weed is dying
out, since it has been discovered to
have merits.
A report from Wyoming says that an
attempt to cultivate the plant there as
a forage crop was a failure owing to
the wet season. 1t is said that in ordi-
nary years this weed can be raised in
large quantities on the Laramie plains,
as it flourishes on extremely dry
ground. Cattle devour it eagerly.

Calves in Stalk Fields,

Every autumn brings a fresh rouno
Of complaint from farmers losing
calves which are allowed to run in the
stalk fields. Really, such young stock
as calves but recently weaned should
not be compelled to make their living
in this way, for they must eat so much
of such l%ow-grade feed that their weak
digestion is unequal to the task. The
large amount of stuff then dries in
the stomach, produces Inflammation
and murrain. However. plenty of salt
and fresh water will go a long way
toward %remedying this evil.-D. B,

where Women May n,nrry of,en.

lNEAA
Among the lofty mountain peaks in
northern Thibet may be found a peo-
pie, both hardy and brave, whose laws
are among the most peculiar in the
world. This region is one of the few in
which polyandry is a custom. The
young man who aspires to the hand of
a young lady must arrange with her
parents as to the amount of money he
can turn over to them in case he is ac-
cepted as the girls husband. If he hap
pens to he very wealthy he may make
her his exclusive property. If not other
young men may make offers, and the
girl may become the wife of quite a
number of husbands. Marriage in this
part of the world is entirely a matter
of money. The custom is not estab-
lished by law and is believed to have
arisen at a time when the men were
much more numerous than the IN

The Highest Court.

In Colorado is a small town, which

IN MILK.
Method of Selling by Measure AIone
Regardless of Value, IL Rndi-
cally Wrong.


According to a bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture, near.
ly all milk used for direct consumption
is sold by measure alone, regardless OF
value. This method is unjust to both
consumer and producer. The majority
of people seem to think that milk is
milk, and that one quart is worth as
much as another, so long as it is sweet
milk. The reason for this is partly a
lack of knowledge ds to what consti-
tutes good milk and partly because
milk is an Opaque liquid, and it is diff
icult to judge its composition or food
value by appearance. Milk containing
a high per cent. of fat is not only worth
more for food, but it costs more to
produce than milk containing a low
per cent. of fat, and its price should
be governed by food values. Frequent
ly one quart of milk contains twice as
much fat as another, yet both sell fol-
the same price.
No other commodity is bought OF
solo With such disregard of food value.
All milk should be sold according tc
its composition, and not only should
its exact composition be known, but
definite grades should be established
with corresponding value. Milk for
direct consumption should not only
have a standard of values, but of clean
illness as well, and should be produced
under inspection.
1t would be as reasonable to expect
to purchase three pounds of round
steak for the price of one as to buy
milk with eight per cent. fat and that
with two per cent. fat at the same
price a quart. Most of the states and
some of the cities have passed laws
which make it unlawful to sell milk
below a certain standard. This makes
the sale of milk coming direct from
individual cows, that give milk low in
fat, unlawful, while i. is good, whole
some milk and a perfectly legitimate
product when sold at it's proper price
But what is ever worse, this system
prevents the nan who produces rich
milk from getting the price he should

production. Milk containing a high
per cent. of fat is not only worth more
for food, but costs more to produce
than milk containing a low per cent
Of fat, and the price should be gov
erned by it's composition and food
value. and not by its bulk.
One hundred pounds of good mill
contains 81 pounds of water, foul
pounds of fat, five pouds of milk sugar
3.3 pounds of casein and albumen ant
or pound of mineral matter or salts
Most of the states and many cities re-
quire 3 or 3.5 per cent. of fat ant
9 or 9.5 per cent. of solids not fat
The total solids" required thus vary
from ~ to 10 per cent, according to
different laws.

Early in the sos, when he lived IL

walked from his house to Westminster
by the way of Regent street and Pail

after passing him once, turned in theil

passing him again.
Soon after this it was my privilege
to become acquainted with him per-

Ground Feed for Cows.

While there is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of grinding grain for some farm ami
mails, it is generally conceded that II
pays to grind for the dairy herd. A
cow giving a large flow of milk needs
all her energy to secrete the milk and
to digest the large amount of feed
which must be used for that purpose
1t is for this reason important to make
the process of digestion as easy and
rapid as possible. A good grinder,
with suitable power to run it, should
be part of the equipment of every well
conducted dairy farm.-C. H. Eckles,

wife of the captain shall not travel in

hibits it's captains from taking their
