Miss Robnett spoke concerning
the school work, throughout the
county and state, and upon the
Importance of mothers and pa
rents taking al active interest in
the school teachers and their work,
ending with a plea for the boys of
the families. These little chaps
are too often allowed to run the
streets, spending the larger part
of their waking hours goodness

Mr.. Kennedy, who is a member
of the school board, gave a short

for the coming year, among which
were arrangements for another
teacher and the establishing of a
regular high school course of
study, He made a very interest

Base Ball at -Enoampment.

Thejunior base ball nine of Sar-
atoga went to Encampment Satur-
day TO play a return game with
the Encampment juniors, and at
the last half of the seventh inning
the game stood eight to nine in
favor of Saratoga. The game was
5 declared off at this time by the
Encampment nine, they refusing
to finish, SO the umpire decided
the game belonged to Saratoga,
The game was tied in this inning
up to the close, when a batted ball
was caught by the manager of the
Encampment nine. A man was
on End base and walked in home.
The point was decided in favor of
She Saratoga team, giving them
one the best of the game. Follow
ing is the by innings:

William Orville umpired the
game.
The senior nine of Saratoga
went to Encampment Sunday to
!. play a return game with the nine
there, being defeated by a score of
8 to IA, which makes "A much bet
ter showing than the game played
at this place the week before. The
game was a good one clear through,
with the exception of the third
inning, when a couple of errors by
Saratoga men allowed the En-
campment nine to run in seven
men. After this inning, however,
the boys held the upper nine
down, and the game was a good
clean one. In the first inning
Boss Epperson got hit in the face
with a pitched ball, and had a
head he could nearly eat hay with
for a few days but he stuck to the
game and played it through. We
were unable to get the scores of
this game. X. w. Dyer umpired
this game.

Preparing for Carnival.

Some of the Saratoga horsemen are
working over their racing stock and
intend getting them in trim for the
carnival this fall. From the looks of
some of the horses we have seen it is
quite likely a share of the prizes will

Hon. D. G. Nowlin, State Game

SONS. The love of flowers was
only one of many beauties of
character shown by Russell. He
was universally loved by all who
knew him. for a sweeter, kinder or
more conscientious nature never
blessed the world for SO brief a
stay than the one who has Just
left us. Full of boyish fun and
life and active in all childish
sports with his companions, he
was yet thoughtful at all times
and eve found causing pain to
any of Gods creatures. The les
sons, early taught him, by his pa
rents, of Gods love and will and
His watchful care, found fertile
soil in his baby mind and grew
with his growth into earnest prin-
ciples that forbade his ever har-
boring a thought that he felt
would be unworthy those princi-
pies. He had no fear of death
but looked upon it only as a great
and beautiful change which God
would bring about whenever He
was ready for us and to be an an
gel was the crown to which he
looked forward. To live so that
he should be ready when God
called was his desire and truly we
may say "Well donel" Although
SO young in years, Russell was
very fond of reading Gods
word and read the Bible as long
as he was able to hold it. WheL
his failing strength would not

not noticed especially at the time
but brought back by memory now,
force one to the belief that Russell
felt the nearness of the great
change" all during his last illness
However, to all the loved ones
about him, he never spoke direct
ly of leaving them for another
World. His fine consideration
for them would have spared them
all pain if possible. A young
friend, of his own age, with whom
Russell had talked much about the
future life, upon hearing hat his
friend was no more of Earth, said,
while choking back his grief;
Russell would not have wished
us to mourn, | shall try not to be-
cause he would be sorry. 1t was
only the house he had lived in
that is dead and he always aaid
we ought not to feel that way
about it." Thus his influence will
live long on Earth and bring an
untold wealth of good into the
lives of those he left behind. To
the loving hearts so sorely strick-
en- now, comfort will not fail to
come as this heavy cloud of grief
passing leaves the light and the
consciousness that the dear one
has only passed on into the 'beau-
tiful change where sorrow and
pain are left behind and the flow
ers of Gods love bloom forever.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.
Cold Curing of Cheese Not Only Im-
prove the Quality But Also
increases Quantity.

Cold curing increases the quantity of
cheese to be sold and improves its quail
ity. These facts have been proved sew
eral times on a small scale at expert
ment stations and elsewhere; and some
cheese handlers have profited by in
stalling some form of refrigeration in
their curing rooms; but no extensive,
carefully controlled tests on a CONNER
cial scale have been reported prior to
York state experiment station in CO.
operation with the United States de-
partn1ent of agriculture, which includ-
ed about 16 tons of cheese, made at diff
ferent factories in New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, and stored in the rooms
of commercial refrigerating plant in
New York city. A similar experiment,
giving very c%oncordant results, was car
ried out in the west by the Wisconsin
station and the department.
The cheeses were made and stored I'M
der conditions securing uniformity of
compared lots, and were kept at 40, SO
or 60 degrees until cured. They were
scored at the outset and at intervals
during the test by commercial experts,
and were also weighed and sampled for
chemical analysis.
The average scores of the cheeses
were: At 40 degrees, 95.7; at SO, 94.2;
and at 90, 91.7; and the increased mar
ket value at the end of 20 weeks, count
ing quality alone, was 60 cents a hundred
for the cheese cured at 40 degrees. But
holding at low temperatures also re-
tains the water in the cheese, giving ar
additional quantity to sell; hence 100
pounds Of cheese cured at 40 degrees
was worth $1.0S more than that cured
at 60 degrees. Larger cheeses lost less
in proportion to their weight than small
ones; and coating the cheese with par
ATTN decreased very decidedly the loss
of weight. One hundred pounds OF
cheese, paraffined and cured at 40 de-
grees, would sell, at prices prevailing
during this test, for $1.76 more than the
same initial weight of cheese unpar-
affined and cured at 60 degrees.-Coun-
try Gentleman.

planks, two and one-half inches thick,

ground they were excavated out Of and
the s:lage when full. The excavation
was about II feet deep, four feet being
over the surface of the ground, banked
up as shown in cut. To keep back any
soakage, a six-inch drain was laid seven
feet deep all around, and a clay puddle
placed against the planks. The roof
wa ssmi-circular, and continued over
the ends to provide cover for the drays
when being loaded, and each pit was
provided with heavy chains, anchored to
bottom logs, and brought up through
the silage to the top over transverse
beams laid across top decking, and
pulled together by double-ended screw
ratchets which pressed the whole down.
A carrier on T-iron rails, hung under
the crown of the. roof, served to take
the bags of silage to the drays at each
end.

was equal to about $40 per ton of ca

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

1t is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlars trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article. is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of a pure article.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. S. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: Bread made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble aiunina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as a poison" I'll
