and Americans are always welcome. When
the American engineers visited the Paris
exposition a few years ago this company
gave them a special excursion from Paris
to Berlin to see our works. They were
given a luncheon at the factory, a steam
boat ride on the river Spree and a banquet,
and all without charge"
The Loewe company manufacture light
machine tools only and they work on the
interchangeable system, so that they can
supply parts at any time. There are other
machine tool works here. The Niles works
has a large branch which is connected
with the Loewe works. It makes it's tools
from American patterns and depends for The

Chicago has a German establishment and
also the Worthington Pump company. The
Westinghouse has a branch electrical es-

Elektrische Gesellschaft is the German con-
neetion of cur General Electric company.
The Union Elektrische Geseilschaft has a
factory in Berlin and another at Riga, in
Russia, and 1t does a big continental bust
ness. When Its factory here Is in full
working order IL employs $500 men, and at

The Cooking OF Meat.

One principle holds in all meat cook

Unless the object. IS to extract the
juices. as in soups. the aim is to soften

as little loss as possible Of the juice

at first should scar the outside, which
will then serve as a case to retain
the juice. In baking the oven is raised
to a high temperature. kept there for
five or ten minutes, and then gradually
reduced to lower heat.
If the meat is to be boiled, It is 4
gold idea to brown the cut sides in q
little fat before turning in the hot
water. Since albumen, which toughens
readily at high temperature, is con.
stituent element of flesh, only the out.
side should be subjected to great heat
The slower the cooking Of the meat, the
more tender will be Its fbrc. and the
more delicious its flavor. Indeed; the
best authorities claim that the water
III which beef is cooked should not
come to boil; and that a long applica.
ton of slow heat will produce in the
toughest cut tender. juicy dish.
Beef la mode, pot roast and corncd
beef are the common forms in which

Concerning Fees.

There is fault often unknown and
not suspected in the late swarms,
which is that the queens which 60 out
with them may not be fertile, and il
they come out after the droncs have
been killed off they cannot lay fertile
eggs, but only such as produce drones.
She cannot be distinguished from fer
Tile queen, but the drone cells can be
distinguished from worker cells by
the rounded appearance of the cap over
them. If only such are found destroy
the queen at once, and either give the
colony another queen or divide the
bees that remain and the honey among
other colonies, destroying the d,one
brood by uncapping it and shaking out
he larva. II in cells of the worker
bee size, it may be useful to put in 9TH
er hives next spring. but if in the reg
ular cell of the drone bee, it is best to
make wax of it, unless some may be
saved to put in the frames of the best
colonies that one may want to- raise
male bees from.

The tendency to return once mere to
| home dairying, instead oftsellng milk
and cream to large separator COM
panies, appears to be the result Of re-
cent invention and perfection of small
{ sfparators dDefated by hand. 1t is
possible with these for the farmer
and dairyman to handle his own pro-
duct, make his own butter as former
~, and sell it 10 the market he con-
siders best. 1t is also tending to in
crease the size of the average dairy.
With hand separator the farmer can
handle more cream and butter than
he could when he depended entirely
upon old-fashioned dairy methods. 1t
may be that the large creamery COM
panies and large cooperative farmers
creameries will not be greatly affected
one way or the other by this. as the
supply of milk and cream is steadily
Increasing all over the country, but
certainly it will make change en- the
small farms and diaries. The question
which must be considered of the most
importance is whether the farmer op
Grating at home can keep up the quail
ity OF his butter or will it degenerate
and sell SO much below the regular
creamery butter that it will not be
profitable to make it. A good deal OF
the dairy butter which comes to mar
ket is so inferior in quality that it rare
ly brings much more than One-half or
two-thirds the price paid for best
creamery. This is due to inferior
methods used, and to the fact that old
fashioned dairy butter-making cannot
produce as finished a product as the
modern c-eameries. 1t is opssible for
the small dairyman to make almost as
good butter with the small hand Sc
parators as that. produced by the large
creameries, but to do this he must OBJ
serve the close rules and regulations
enforced by the managers of the latter.
Any laxity on their part will bring de-
terioration in the quality. The butter
thus made if not held too long, should
then command a fair rating in the mar
ket. The old fault of the home dairy
man was. that he held his butter and
cream too long. If he persists in doing
this be will not succeed under the
new methods. There must be regular
weekly shipments, even if it is neces-
sary to increase the nerd to make it..

what seeds to SOW from some one who
has had experience in similar cases?
Answer: The present writer has
had experience in a similar case on
the same kind Of soil, in the sane
county, and not six miles from the
same locality, and met with excellent
success. In early spring he scratched
the ground over with a sharp. fine
toothed harrow, commencing at the
base of the hill and wofkiHgsnp so
as not TO leave any miniature. chan
nels to convey any water of subsequent
rains downward. He then sowed
broadcast equal parts of the seeds of
blue grass. white clover, medium. red
clover, and timothy; then lightly mar
rowed again in the same direction.
When the seeds had germinated he
sowed about six bushels Of land plas-
ter to the acre. All stock was kept off
for two or three months. The succeed
ing pasturage was good for hill lot as
long as the writer remained ON the
