Return of the Soldier soy.

Richard H White, who had not been
seen by his father and mother, for
forty years, has returned to his home
at Baltimore. Md. Forty years ago,
when 21 years of age, White enlisted
in the army. A few weeks ago he OBJ
tanned an honorable discharge as a
pensioned officer.
When Mr.. Roosevelt visited the Yel-
lowstone Park, White was in the Pres
ident's escort. The President mani
tested interest in Whites army exper-
ience and invited him to call on him
at the White House when he came to
see his parents in Baltimore.
White will spend the summer with
his parents and then will go to his
home in Oakland, Cal. His father is

New York'S Milk.

The milk trade in the vicinity OF
New York is rapidly taking on a sys-
tel of it's own that seems to be
unique in this country. The milk
dealers are largely organized under
the title of the Peoples Pure Milk
Company" The producers of milk
have a gigantic organization, which
they call the Five States Milk Pro
ducers' Association" Not long ago
they completed a five years agree
ment dating from October, 1903, the
producers of milk to deliver to the
dealers about 10000 cans of milk per
day, agreeing to sell to them all the
milk they produce, except sucn as is
used in their homes. The agreement
is on the quart basis, the monthly
prices to be as follows: January,
4-S cents; February, 33-S cents;
March, 3 Is cents; April, 8 cents;
May, 5-8 cents; June, 2 1-8 cents;
July, 2 3-8 cents; August, 6-8 cents;
September, 3 cents; October, Is
cents; November, 3-8 cents; Decem-
Der, 3 5-8 cents. However these
prices are subsequently changed they
must never fall below a yearly aver
age of 25s cents per quart in cash.
After two years, the annual average
is to be increased to 2A cents per
quart. The milk selling company
sells part of it's stock to the pro-
ducers, thus making them partakers
in the profits of the milk delivery.
The milk delivering company fur
nishes all cans and keeps them clean
without expense to the milk pro-
ducers. One hundred pounds of milk
is agreed upon as the equivalent of
4S quarts. The milk producers living
near the city are to receive in addi-
ton to the above mentioned prices
the difference in freight rates over
the long hauls for which the prices
are made. The milk producers that
do not keep their stables in a sani-
tary condition are to be excluded
from the benefits of this agreement,
and their milk will be refused

Renovated Butter PRODUCT.

There are in the United States in
the neighborhood of 30 factories for
the renovating of butter, and their
product last year is reported to have
been over 100000 pounds The new
revenue law relating to renovated but
ter went into effect last year and for
the first time we have statistics that
are something more than guesses.
The tax of one-fourth cent a pound
does not seem to find many objectors
among the renovated butter interests,
and the supervision given the fac
tories is something of a guarantee to
tie people of the production of
wholesome product.

these animals will hardly prove ef-
fective. The point is that while we
are making the poultry house secure
we should make it so secure that no
loss can be occasioned by these ami
mails.
Incidentally we might criticise the
practice of many poultry owners leav-
ing the doors and windows of their
houses open during the summer
nights, with no protection whatever.
This was the case with the man that
lost the White Leghorn cock. A door
and window made of inch mesh wire
would have been entirely effective in
keeping out animals, even rats. The
writer has used this wire and has
found it very strong and durable. 1t
is not expensive and there is no rea-
son why it should not be extensively
used.
Where there are young chicks. this
wire should be used to keep out rats.
Rats become very destructive of
chicks after they once get taste of
chicken. On the other hand rats will
frequently live on a farm for years
and never touch a chick. 1t is large
ly a question of forming a habit
When rats once get the taste for
have to be waged upon them. At one
time the writer had a great deal of
trouble in this respect. The rats got
SO they would attack a chick of almost
any size, and it was not unusual to
find in the morning a half grown
chick killed and partly eaten by the
rodents. One day the fowls were
making fuss and the writer hurried
to find the cause. A big rat had a
half-grown chicken by the leg and
was pulling it under a broken board
in the floor.
In such cases it will sometimes be
found necessary to use poison. Elec-
trio paste of some make has always
proven the most effective in the ex-
perieace of the writer. But it is bet
ter to SO construct the poultry house
that no rats or other animals OF any
size can get in. This can be done in
various ways. Cement always makes
a good floor and prevents rats getting
in from that point. Where a board
floor is to be used, it should be so far
above the ground that the rats can
tempts to gnaw a hole through the
boards. Rats never attempt to cut
their way into a building from the
outside, and this point may well be
left unguarded- The trouble is that
most floors are put within a few
inches of the ground, or else cross
beams and foundation stones are so
carelessly placed that the rodents find
erations.

Breeding AGE for Swine.

When size is desired in the boar and
SOW they should not be bred too early,
One year is probably young enough to
permit them to be bred in that case
If sow is not bred till she is year
old she will have obtained a good
growth, and will be of good size and
vigorous at the time she produces hen
first litter, at sixteen months of age
Her weight at that time, If a Poland.
China or Berkshire, would be in e1
cess of 400 pounds, perhaps 500.
SOW will generally produce a bette,
litter the second time than the first
if she is mature at the first breedins
time. Many such sows have proved
to be good breeders up to ten years OF
age. The rule of using only youns
sows for breeding purposes is followed
by many, but is not to be commended
1t gives early maturity, but seems t.
decrease the stamina.

old Vesuvius which buried the famous
cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
at the beginning of the Christian era,
and which has caused untold destruc-
ton on more than sixty occasions
since that time. The mountain was
a vine-clad, foliage-decked hill, whose
extinct crater was a beautiful lake,
until Aug. "a, 79 A D., when almost
without warning the top was blown
off in a manner similar to the occur
