TIE Keeping Quality Of Butter.


Dairymen and creamcrymcn through
out the state will be interested in bull
letin entitled, "Thc Keeping Quality of
Butter" just issued by the Iowa En-
pertinent Station at Amcs. 1t is the
work of Prof. G. l.. Mckay and MIR. c.
Larson. Some of the subjects discussed
are as follows: Sources of Deterioration
in Butter, Cause of Rancidity, Defects
in Butter. Effect of Working Upon
Water Contents of Butter, Purity of
Well Water, Methods of Purifying Wash
Water, etc. 1t contains numerous
tables reporting results from actual OK
periments conducted and several cuts.
From the results Of the investigation
it appears that much of the deterioration
in butter is due to the presence of bac-
terra in wash water. Practical methods
of removing these organisms are de-
scribed and discussed.
The bulletin is No. II of the Station
and can be had without cost by address
ing request to Prof. G. f. Curtiss,

"A NOVEL LAWSUIT.
Woman Brings Suit For Libel
Against County Treasurer.

Iowa Falls, July u. Many people in
this county, which, like many others
in the state, has passed through a tax
ferret crusade, will watch with no little
interest the outcome of an action just
brought in Woodbury. county, wherein
a lady sues the county treasurer and
auditor for libel. The plaintiff holds
that in notifying her of her failure
to pay her full quota of taxes She has
been libclcd and will seek satisiac-
ton in the courts. She will ask damages
to the extent OF $4,000 on the grounds
that the act of these officials who signed
the notice OF her failure to pay on $4,000
Of property, is libelous. This strange
action will interest the public at large
but will be unusually interesting to
those who have received similar notices
of failure to contribute their full share
to the public support.

Great Swine Exhibit at State Fair

Gnc of the most wonderful exhibits Of
swine ever seen on this continent will
be given at the Iowa State Fair, which
will be held in Des Moines August u to
30. 1t is likely to break the record in
this state. Superintendent w. M. Nc
Fadden, who is in charge of the swine
department. says indications are he will
have larger show of hogs than last
year. At that time, the pens were all
filled to their capacity, with over ZOO
head of hogs. A large number will, in
all probability, be exhibited this year.
Much will be added to the attractive
ness of the exhibition by the erection of
the new Judging pavilion for swine,
which is practically completed.
The Iowa State Fair management has
provided seats for $500 more people at
the amphitheatre, the seats in which
command an excellent view. For the
spectacular productions in the evening,
these seats will be quite as good as the
best seats in the amphitheater. The
total seating capacity of the amphithea-
ter now will be about 5000.
Music for the Iowa State Fair will be
provided by Reeds Fourth Regiment
band Of Sioux City, one of the finest
musical organizations in the state. In
addition to this band, the girls orches-
ira from the state institution at Mitch
ellville will be present with the consent
of the board of control.
A rate of one fare for the round trip
at the time of the state fair, August q,
to 20, has been gra ltcd by the Western
Passenger Associa ton, good over all
roads in the state. The rates will take
effect the day before the opening of the
fair, or August 20.

PLEASED With PAVING
Abba People are Rejoicing Over the
Paving Done in that City and
Expect to do Mere.

The paving on East Washington street
will be finished this week and is in ev-
cry way fine job. There will be no
more wading in mud nor rowing in
scows nor dragging through the alleys.
But the freight teams, buses, carriages
and foot men will go over dryshod.
Simultaneous with this a score of men
began Monday morning shifting tracks
in the Central yards at the
foot of Washington street prepar-
atory to building the new union de-
pot. Roadmaster Terry of the Iowa
Central and Bryant of the Wabash were
here Monday laying out the work. En-
gineer Allen arrived Tuesday to stake
out the ground for the depot and con-
tractor George Cook, of Minneapolis
has arrived from his work on the Albert
Lea depot to begin operations here
The whole situation will be gloriously
changed. The old depot will be sqGar-
ed into position south of the passenger
and enlarged by sheds running both
north and south, east and west each
eighty feet in length all for freight
purposes. The tracts will be rclaid
and enlarged and the probability is that
a round house will be built this summer
to accommodate several engines.
L. b. Perry said to the Union that
Albia's pavement was the finest thing
that we possess and that the council
ought to pave Main street south Just as
soon as possible. This question has
been up before the council this summer
and a unanimous petition was sent in
by the property holders in the first
block south Of the present pavement
which includes the worst mudhole in
town. In talking with the chairman Of
the street committee, Dave Clever, he
did not believe it was possible to touch
this pavement this year but that he was
in favor and he believed that the coun-
Gil would begin next spring and pave
south to the bridge if not across the
railroad tracks. This will go long
way toward overcoming the bad roads
to Hooking and when the sidewalks arc
in will make one of the finest streets in
the city.-Albia Union.
