The Record

"The Philadelphia Record, which re-
Gently observed its twenty-sixth anniver-
sary as the pioneer one cent newspaper
Of America, claims the largest circulation
Of any paper published in Pennsylvania,
and its claim is without doubt just one.
The secret Of this is not hard to find.
Throughout its entire career The Record
has combined a certain spirit of conserva-
tism with progressive policy, and the
result has been newspaper that inspires
and holds the confidence Of its readers.
There is vast deal Of difference be-
tween conservatism and old-fogyism. 1ht
Record is always keen alert and up-to-date,
and never allows itself to become hysteri-
cal The metropolitan journals Of to-day
may be enterprising to the point of sensa-
tionalism, and in the existing spirit OF
rivalry may often over-step the bounds Of
decorum and good taste; but in this respect
The Philadelphia Record is not sinner. II
is always sane, always temperate, always
satisfying. Without half the fuss and
feathers Of some of its contemporaries, it is
not to be gainsaid.
1t is this authoritative confidence in it
self that has wrought confidence in the
general public and has been instrumental
in establishing its prestige. Let us see
what The Record says about it, is a
remark Of frequent occurrence; and what
The Record says is usually regarded as final
and incontrovertible The newspaper is
still largely moulder Of public opinion,
in spite of the theorists, and while the con-
fidence of the public may be shaken in
some phases of modern journalism, that
class Of which The Philadelphia Record is
fine type still survives, and will continue
to survive for good. We could i'll afford
to spare any of them, least of all The
Record. A long and prosperous life to
Pennsylvania leading newspaper.

AN OHIO MANS HARRow.

and holding the snow in winter. and
when broken by the bar in the spring
it shades and holds the moisture for
the new clover plant, but if torn out by
root at seeding time it leaves deep
hole in the surface, worse than wasting
horse power, choking the drill, and,
moreover, it becomes an unmitigated
nuisance clear through the harvest.
This slant tooth harrow is in two
parts, each adjustable in width, and
has guides for the corn stubs. 1t has
long, slanting steel teeth, to be short
ened by wiring Stats under the light
frame, and is seldom out of use, work
ing single or double. 1t is smoothing
harrow for fresh planted corn and a
leveler for the early garden. 1t follows
the coarser tools in tending corn, and
as the driver sits close to the ground
he can pull a weed or set up corn with
out STOPPING. Single it runs through
the corn after it is laid by to retain
moisture and to keep down starting
grass and weeds. Being a reversed SAP
harrow, its open front sucks the soil
from the ridge back to the depression
In the middle of the row and levels all,
ready for the wheat drill, among stand
ing corn. No clod can get away, and
the boy who drives sits low beneath
the pendent ears. OF its work double
and among corn stubs have already
spoken.

Plans are being made and rules and
regulations Formulated for dairy test

from May to November of next year.
The different cattle breeders associa-
lions have been invited to furnish
herds for this. The object is to demon
strate practically how economically
milk and butter may be produced I'M
der certain given conditions. Repre-
sentatives of the cattle breeders or
CARNATIONS have been in conference
with Chief Coburn at ST. Louis upon
his invitation. and he is relying upon
them, together with the foremost dairy
experts of the country, to work out the
plans for the most thorough and salts

Although celery is one Of the most
common vegetables seen on the table,
not one person in fifty knows how to
eat it properly. No matter how care

before sending to the table, there will
still be found upon each stalk a num-
Der of tough strings or fibers that
should not be taken into the stomach.
Do not put the stalk to the mouth, Bit
ing off piece from the end, as is usu-
ally done. Instead hold the stalk in
one hand and break off an inch piece
from the large end, bending it back
and forth to do so. This loosens the
fiber, which strips off readily, leaving
crisp, brittle section of celery with
no particle of waste. Keep on in this
way up the stalk, breaking each mouth
full off instead of biting. This method
will be found not only much daintier
way of disposing of the wholesome
vegetable, but more satisfactory from
gastronomic and healthful stand
point.

must make a little effort to see that
the crates are returned or lose the
price of the crate. The great conven-

the quality of the fruit and to. exhibit

long way toward making up for this
Inconvenience. This crate is made of

Farmer a picture of his two horse

Howe, the great sewing machine in

agricultural inventions "a two horse

coarse, woody corn stub should be cut

MOISTURE IN BUTTER.

some Batter Makers Have Gone Too
Far In Taking Out Water.
Professor Mckay of the Iowa college
has contributed many ideas to the
dairy industry that have been extreme
~ valuable. He is ever on the lookout
for new or improved method of ham
bling the produce of the COW In way
that will net more profit to the cream
cry man and the dairyman. Just now
he is giving q good deal of study and
investigation to the subject OF moisture
In the butter.
For years we have all been hammer
ing away at butter makers to incor-
porate less water In butter, says
Creamery Journal The agitation grew
out of the mottle question, as at first it
was believed that excessive moisture
was the chief cause of the trouble. 1t
appears that the agitation has had its
effects, but the butter makers have
gone too far, and most of the butter
now made in our creameries contains
TOO little moisture Professor Mckay
says he believes the average in Iowa
bulletin shortly giving the results of
careful investigation in the field. The
loss Is mot all made in the moisture, the
casein Incorporated being also an Inn
portant item Professor Mckay esti-
mates that Iowa creamery interests
alone sustain loss aggregating $780,,
600 or more annually through this de-
feet In manufacture.
Butter containing excessive moisture
cannot be distinguished from butter
that is dry" except by analysis. In a
recent contest a tub was thrown out
as defective because it had a slushy
appearance. and the judges declared
that 1t contained too much water. An
other tub was rejected because 1t was
too "dry." Analysis of samples from
these two packages showed that the
first tub contained Is per cent of mois-
ture while the "dry" package actually
had In it more than 16 per cent The
appearance of the two tubs of butter
misled the judges. and it was due en-
tlrely to the method of tempering.
churning and sailing.
The scientific butter maker, looking
to the interests of his employer, will
make butter that contains, say IA to
Is per cent of moisture The man In a
fair sized creamery who works out his
butter dry is wasting more than his
wages. The moisture question is a
matter Of very great Importance to the
trade, and Professor McKay's bulletin
will be awaited with interest by every
progressive butter maker in the coun-
try.

Pooh FARMING.

TO one used to the broad lines upon
which western agricultural operations
are conducted-rows of corn half mile
long, work all done with horse and
maehine-there was something almost
pathetic in seeing the men who try to
farm among the hills of Virginia and
Pennsylvania prepare the land and
plant field of corn. The field, like
enough, was some irregular, narrow
two acre strip bordering some stream,
the seed was dropped and covered by
hand, third hand dropping a handful
of plaster in each hill, and all this
when it required much faith to believe
that the stalks of last years crop could
have produced over fifteen bushels per
acre. In one small field containing less
than two acres we saw the man, his
wife and five children busy planting
the corn crop. These people don't
know or they wouldn't stay there and
do so.

Canned Cheese Curd.
Professor Permit of the Oregon ex-

interesting experiments in taking
fresh cheese curd ready for the press
and sealing 1t Theoretically In tin cans.
In this condition the curd goes through
the curing process in good shape. The
cans. holding about Eve pounds, were
first parafihed The curd was then
packed in the tins under pressure, re-
naming in the press overnight They
were then soldered and laid away. The

A salad should always be properly
washed, not in one, but at the very
least in three or four waters. 1t should
then be carefully dried leaf by leaf.
1t is impossible to produce successful
salad if the green stuff in question Is
in the least degree damp. Again, a
salad should never be cut with knife,
not even silver knife. When washed
and dried 1t should be torn into pieces
Of suitable size. Thirdly, the oil and
vinegar used should be in the proper
ton of two spoonfuls Of the former to
