WINE IN POWDER FORM.
The French Have n New Method of
Obtaining "a beverage In Con-
centrated Form.

The liquid part of wine contains
light ethers, ethylic alcohol, heavy al
cohol and oils, and substances such as
furfurol and aldehyde. All these pro-
duets are poisonous. The solids of
wine are coloring matter, fixed organ
ic acids and mineral salts, all of which
are harmless, with the exception of
the lime being bad for the gouty, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Now, wine which is deprived of the
heavy alcohol oils, lime and potash
should contain no injurious elements.
According to ILLUSTRATION, it seems
that DR.. Garrigou, of Toulouse, has
been able to obtain this result by con-
centrating a wine in a vacuum, this
process taking away the cooked taste
which ordinary heat produces. Inthis
way wine may be reduced to dry pow
der, and if then the powder be placed
in water or ethylic alcohol all the
properties Of the wine are recovered,
with the exception of the poisonous
elements. BY this process there is OBJ
tanned a perfectly harmless wine,
which may be kept indefinitely and
which is handled readily.

AGED WAR VETERANS.
Lived to Upwards OF
Century.

It is not always true that war
shortens life. The sole survivor of
the Greek war of independence, who
was brought to the notice of King
George the other day, is said to be
105 years old, and the last survivors
of our wars have often reached a
much greater age, says the London
Chronicle. Sir Joseph Fayrer, one
of the kings physicians, has spoken
to man who fought in the battle of
Buxar, which took place in 1854.
William Gillespie, who saved the col
ors at Preston Pans, and is on the
roll of Chelsea pensioners, died in
Dumfries at 1902, and the last survivor
of the capture of Gibraltar lived to
be 115. Thomas Wimms, who died in
1891, near Tuam, in Ireland, had
fought in the battle of Londonderry
in 1901. and Phoebe Hessel, the ANA
zon, who received bayonet wound
at Fontenoy in 1745, lived to be 10S,
receiving pension from the private
purse of George ~. until her death.
A veteran of Culloden drew pension
for 60 years, and died aged 106, and
man, whose horse was shot under
him, at Edgehill, in 1912, died, "a
years later, aged 113. There is now

HOUSE FOR A HUNDRED HENS.

floor. Nine inches above the platform
place three roosts 12 inches apart.
The house should be seven feet
high in the front, five feet at the rear
and ten feet at the ridge, if it is to
be covered with shingles. -Four sx10-
inch 12-light windows should be
placed at the front, and one may be
placed at each end if desired. There
may be a door in each end or one in
the front. To make this house FROST
proof, it must be built with double
walls with an air space between. Lay
2x6-inch sills on a stone or brick foun-
dation, laid in cement. The studding
should be made of 2x4, placed two
feet apart.
On these nail square edge boards,
cover with a wind and waterproof
sheathing paper, and then put on
matched siding. Seal up the inside in
the same manner. In winter time put
on storm sash and a double door.
Where house is built as thoroughly
as this, a ventilator should be pro-
vided. A six-inch tube should extend
from the peak to within one foot
of the floor, and be provided with a
dampe which can be opened and closed
to regulate the flow of air. Enough
air will leak in around windows and
doors to keep it fresh.-Farm and

Where They Make the Mistake.

President Roosevelt, General Miles
and others unite in saying: "Agricul-
ture is our principal industry" There
is slight mistake in the sentence.
AS far as the course of the govern
ment as now directed is concerned,
the sentence should be amended to
read, "Robbing agriculture is our
principal industry" With high tariff,
high transportat. rates, and trusts
controlling all the farmer has to buy,
while he himself has no trust, and no
protection in any way to enhanse his
income, to prattle the praise of agri-
culture is SO ironical that it is getting
rusty.

INEVITABLE MISTAKES.
why beginners in the Poultry Rusi-
ness Must Expect to Lose
Money at First.

No one that has not had experience
in poultry raising should invest heav-
lily in that business. The only safe
way is to start small and increase the
flock as rapidly as experience in
creases. The novice generally starts
in with the firm resolve to succeed
from the start. Frequently he gets all
the information he can from books
and from practical poultrymen, and
he vainly imagines that the informa-
tion SO acquired will save him from
mistakes. But the mistakes are made,
just the same, though they are doubt
less fewer on account of what has
been CLEANED from the experiences of
others. People must have expert
ence by themselves to really fit them
to cope with the numerous situations
they must face. Let the novice set it
down as certainty that he will make
mistakes of most serious nature
and that as a result of such mistakes
great losses will result. In some
cases these losses will be greater than
the profits for the entire year in
which they occur. We tell the novice
of this before they occur, so that he
may not be entirely discouraged and
give up the effort when they do occur.
Even people that have been brought
up on farms encounter these discour-
aging experiences when they try to
handle fowls in considerable num-
bers. The ones that have had little
experience in raising poultry are the
ones most likely to invest consider
able sums in an equipment before
they are really competent to manage
such equipment. Because they have
had some experience they imagine
themselves to be experts. Most of
the failures are due to inexperience,
but the people that have failed are
not usually willing to admit this even
to themselves. Even the farm boy
that has fed chickens and gathered
eggs since childhood will do well to
go a little slow when he enters the
ranks of professional chicken raisers,
for it hurts less to lose so per cent.
of flock of hundred than it does
to lose like proportion of thou
sand fowls.-Farmers Review.

R-r,nue of the Queen Zee.

That retinue surrounding the queen
is something after this fashion in this
locality: Under normal circumstances,
when a queen is travelling over the
comb, no worker accompanies her, If
she runs against the hind end of a
worker, the workerwillpay no moreIat-
tention to her than to another worker.
If, however, the worker is in such po-
sition that she can recognize the pres
ence of the queen, whether the queen
touches her or not, the worker will in
variably squarely face the queen; and
if the queen stands still long enough
there will be circle of bees all facing
centrally. AS soon, however, as the
queen moves on, the circle breaks up,
never to be formed again of the same
bees.-Gleanings.

The Oldest Patron.

Massachusetts, oldest Patron is Alon-
20 s. Sanderson, now over ninety-two
years of age. He was charter men,
ber of Granite grange of South Worth
ington, Mass. He moved to South
Worthington in 1921 and was married
to Sophia Drake Nov. 20, 1884. For
sixty-eight years Mr.. and Mrs. Sander
son lived together. They had four chill
dren and thirteen grandchildren, of
whom twelve are now living, Although
nlnety-two years of age, he attends the
grange meetings and is thoroughly in
terested. Has any other state an older
member Of the Order?
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-06-04

the admirable trade arrangements of
the organization enable its members
TO save other thousands of dollars an
nually.
While the grange can very properly
be used TO promote and advance the
home and family interests along every
avenue of need, yet the crowning value
of the grange to its membership is in
increasing confidence in their own abil-
fly to do things and to get results.
Farmers are too apt to take somebody
elses offer as the best that can be
realized. In Pennsylvania the oranges
are learning self reliance. When dis
satisfied with the insurance rates Of
fered by the existing companies, they
went after something better and estab-
lished their own grange companies.
When dissatisfied with excessive ex-
actions by middlemen they establish
ed business system of their own. Pa
irons are becoming more and more con-
scious of their mental development and
of the possibilities as united body.
They purpose using this agency to fur
ther educate and elevate the American
farmer.
The accompanying portraits of Mr..
and Mrs. Hill will especially interest
members of the order in the Keystone
State. Mrs. Hill has been worthy
fora of the Pennsylvania state grange

Thirty-Tbree of the Rare Animals

There are 80 buffaloes in the dominion
herd at the Banff National park in Win
nipeg. All are in splendid condition,
says the Bangor Commercial. There
are ii full-grown bulls and the old
patriarch is 30 years of age. lie was
the first animal to be owned by Lord
Strathcona at Silver Heights, where all
the animals now in confinement in the
west came from.
This animal is of historic Importance.
Very soon he will be shot and then he
will be mounted. He has been might
fighter and has retained the leadership
of the herd throughout many years
until two years ago when he met his
waterloo. Old as he was his immense
bulk and strength enabled him to kill
one antagonist and to nearly dispose
Of another. Had it not been that he
broke his horn on a rock the issue
would probably have been different.
The bull which now rules the herd
is one imported from Silver Heights
and which defeated all the other bulls
one by one. A herd of such dimensions
as that is a sight which, since the time
when the buffalo roamed in countless
herds over the prairies, has rarely
greeted the eyes of a white man. The
enterprise of the officials who have had
the buffalo in charge for their efforts
to preserve this tangible link of those
days before the great west felt the
tanning hand of the white settler upon
his name is to be commended by all who
feel an interest in the life which oc-
cupied our great solitudes before his

The state grange of Pennsylvania
has for the past five years had at its
head Mr.. W. f. Hill of Crawford coun-
ty, wide awake young farmer in
South Shenango township. Contrary
to the usual rule, he went from col
lege direct to a life upon the farm.
Recognizing in the grange a potent
factor for the farmers welfare, he
early Joined grange No. S44 and has
since given to the Order his best
thought and energy. After serving
several years in the subordinate and
Pomona oranges he was in 1894 elect
ed lecturer of the Pennsylvania state
grange. In 1893 he was promoted to
the mastership OF the state organiza-
ton.

since which time Michigan, Pennsylva-

and interior dailies Of their respective

and In Pennsylvania about 25O. This
shows that there is demand for news
about the oranges, and what is true in
respect to the press Of the states above
named must be equally true regarding
the newspapers of other states where
