Can.e of Bitter MILK.

Recent experiments at the Ontario
experiment farm show that the yeast
like micrO-organism or bitter torula,
is the cause of much bitter milk and
cheese. Factories in that section have
complained of the bitterness of the
milk, and as consequence the ex-
pertinent station has conducted extern
sive investigations as to the cause.
Culture of the torula were added to
milk and cheese that had been ster-
ilzed and in each case a bitter taste
was the result. 1t was not found in
milk drawn into steriliZed dishes, but
was found regularly in mixed milk, in
the solution used for can washes and
also on the leaves of trees under which
the cans were habitually kept The
remedies are to cool the milk prompt
ly and to guard it from infection Of
any kind. All cans and other utensils
should be carefully washed and steril-
lied by heat The Connecticut expert
ment station discovered several years
ago that n species OF bacteria was the
cause of bitter milk and cream. This
can be rendered harmless by steriliZa-
ton

With many fruit growers there is
an unreas onable prejudice against set
ting trees in the fall, yet, in many sec
tons, this work can be done to much
better advantae, than in the spring.
There is no fruit Tree but the peach
that cannot be planted with success
in the fall. at least in all localities ex-
cept. perhaps, the very cold North.
Most men have more time to prepare
the soil in the fall, can set the trees
properly, have no wet ground to con-
tend with and have time to stake
them and mound up about the base for
winter protection. Then, too, nursery
men are not so busy in the fall as in
the spring and are likely to have a
better selection of varieties as well as
of specimens. and they will always
give the buyer good value for his
money, so as to get the trees off their
hands and not be obliged to care for
them in the winter. Most small fruit
plants can ESQ be set with safety in
the fall, and both trees ard plants fall
set will start off and make growth
in the spring before trees could be
planted at that season.

THE GHETTO GLOBGMAkER
Curious Occupation of an Aged jew

Curious Occupation of an Aged jew
Who Makes Globes.
In Il tenement house in the ghetto
lives skilled Jewish globemaker.
whose hardiwork finds its way into
the homes of his countrymen and the
museums of curio hunters uptown.
The mapped srheres of manufacture
are seen everywhere, but his globes
are not of this ilk. The ball of wood
which is the foundation is tenderly
covered with papery substance until
he thinks it is thick enough Wire
painted a bright red or green is strung
through the poles; wire also makes the
axis. With the aid of instruments
which have been in his family for gen
erations, he divides the surface into
hemspheres; then the equator is desi2
mated; the lines of latitude and longi-
tude are painted in.
The maps which h. uses are import
ed from France and come in nearly
100 pieces 1t requires the grea test
possible skill to fit them onto the globe
in exactly the right position But the
old mans fingers have become accus-
toned to the work and he rarely makes
mistake. He does not seem to be
thinking of his work either, but in
tones in an absent-minded way from
his beloved Talmud. The fingers from
long rubbing and fitting are as sensi-
tive at the tips as those of Il piano
player

thumb will be in certain town in

these things are not so, / am sure the

For his own people and a few Gus
toners he INDUCES in novelties such
as putting in moon, sun and stars Of,
different metals. The bases OF the
globe are often of picturesque charac-
ter. one was made of different woods
from Jerusalem fashioned to repre-
sent the steps to SOlomon's temple;
the symbolism being that the globe
rested upon the foundation of the holy
structure. Another had crudely paint
ed upon III various scenes from the say
ings of the prophets with such lines
as:
Say unto the cities of Judah, Be-
hold your Cod
And the ransOmed of the Lord shall
return and come singing unto Zion
Break forth into joy. sing together.

The old globemaker does not toll by
the hour: his work is his da.' dream

The dairyman who sells his butter
fat to a creamery is in the best posi-
BILE position TO make a flock of poultry
profitable. There is nothing that Is
good to increase the flow of milk
which is not also good TO increase the
production of eggs. This is true of
clover hay, for the shattered leaves
and heads make an excellent poultry
feed in winter. taking the place of
grass and other green food. Wheat,
middlings. oats and corn are a1 grains
that are good for poultry. while a
mess of finely chopped silase is as
greatly relished by flock of hens as
il Is by herd of cows Then. too, the
cows themselves furnish one of the
best feeds for laying hens. This is
milk. which is a valuable eggfood in
any form. The Missouri experiment
station says, in discussing profitable

A Washington man who holds gov
eminent position has a fine little flock
of poultry, and sells from two to six
dozen eggs a week besides what his
family consumes. He asks from two
to four cents more for his eggs than
the store price. according to the sea-
son. He gets it, and he could sell
twice as many eggs right among his
fellow clerks. Why? Because they
all know that these eggs are abso-
lutely fresh, and only the city dweller,
who has to eat stale and lined eggs,
knows how to appreciate fresh ones
II this can be done on a small scale
by personal contact between the pro-
Queer and the consumer, it can be done
on commercial basis by any farmer
or poultry grower, providing he takes
the same care which the Washington
government clerk does.

fine young pigs, alive and happy,
which will be given away on New
