BOGUS ON EN- BANDITS.
He'd Up : stage in YeIlowstone Park

Held Up stage ii Yellowstone Park
IA 3. just as Z Joke. 4 ,5 @sS #y4 +.
"A report of a sensational holdup in
the Yellowstone National Park has
reached Livingston, Mont. A couple
OF young ladies, one Of them from New
York and the other a Helena girl, fig
ured as bandits. The whole affair was
hoax, but this fact was not known to
the occupants Of the stage, who were
relieved Of their cash and other val
uables. The young ladies were camp
Ing In the park with a party of friends
and arranged with the driver Of the
stage to hold up him and his passen-
gers at lonely place. The sham ban
dts attired themselves in regular out
law costumes and rode to the place
agreed upon. When the stage arrived,
at the point of rifles the driver was
commanded to stop and the passen-
gers, many Of whom were men, were
ordered to line up at the roadside.
They did as commanded, and while
one OF the bandits" covered them
with a fife, the other went through
their pockets, securing all the avail
abe cash and jewelry. When the
bandits had secured everything valu-
ables in sight, they pulled off their
false whiskers and other DISCUSSES and
gave the crowd the laugh. The valu-
ables were returned.-San Francisco

Huge Rock-Biting Dredge.

The Susquehana Iron company's
dredge is the largest of it's kind on
earth. Its work is laid< out near Buff
falo. This dredge looks like a giant
mud dredge, and is built on the same
principle as an ordinary horsepower
steam engine. It's anchor or spuds
are made of great Oregon fir fifty
three feet long and forty-four inches
through. It has a dipper or dredge
with capacity of seven cubic yards.
One man with dozen levers before
him operates the whole machine.
The dredge of the dipper is armed
with steel teeth about fifteen inches
long and six inches thick. The
man at the levers drops the great
dlpper, with it's massive handle,
down fifteen feet to the rock bot.
tom. Then he moves another lever,
and the. big engine down in the hold
gets under way. The great steel
cable attached to the dipper quivers
under the strain. There is a. sound
of ripping and tearing and grinding,
as if the earth was being turned in
side out, and up comes the dipper,
with it's enormous NAV choked with
huge masses of splintered rock.
It has ripped up seven cubic yards
and when it has cen swung over to
the rock scow it's mighty under jaw

WHY JAPS FIGHT WELL.
Servants Do the Drudqery and the
Men Rest.

Servants Do the Drudgery and the
Men Rest.
"One reason why my countrymen
fight SO WE'LL" said a Japanese in New
York, is that they are not hampered
with baggage as the Russians and 9TH
or soldiers are. The Japanese soldier
is a fighting man, pure and simple
Such details as cooking and preparing
camp are left to servants and on the
march most of the baggage is carried
in wagons, where the servants, not the
soldiers, place it. There is a great
deal of difference between carrying
fifty or sixty pounds all day long on a
march and then having to turn to and
prepare camp, cook supper and clear
away. While the soldiers of other
armies are doing this, my countrymen
are resting. They don't even police
the camp, not to speak of trenching
tents, building fires, hauling fuel, cook
ing and doing the many other things
that are necessary in military
camp" New York Sun.

Loss in Overtime Wheat.

In 1879, DR.. R. G. kedzie, in an ex-
haustive study Of the ripening of
wheat, pointed out that there was a
slight loss in weight between COM
plete ripeness and the stage generally
designated as dead ripe. Subsequent
experiment at this college and else.
where have given like results. There
is not only loss by Smelling when
the grain becomes over-ripe, but a
given number of well dried kernels.
or the product Of a given area, kept
in the ordinary manner, will weigh
less if taken from an over-ripe field
than if taken from a field cut at the
proper time. Moreover, the amount
and quality of the -four produced and
the terminating vigor Of the grain
itself are less if the wheat is allowed
to become Over-ripe than if cut at an
early period. These facts are now
well recognized by farmers, and ordi.
nary practice is regulated by this
The loss in Smelling is un-
doubtedly the most important one, and
fortunately it can be controlled in a
large measures by a proper selection of
varieties combined with harvesting
at the proper season.-Mtchigan Sta

New Zealand and Dairy Exports.

New Zealand and Dairy Exports.
The general public does not. per
haps, realize how large a place New
Zealand is filing in the production of
butter and cheese for consumption in
England. New Zealand is as yet but
thinly populated country, and the
annual receipts of several million dol
lars for butter and cheese sold in the
English market is considerable item
The trade has largely been built IN
during the last ten years. It now
amounts to about seven million dol.
lars for butter and a million for
cheese. For the year ending March
1896, New Zealand exported butter to
the value of 263,244 pounds and cheese
to the value of 160,383 pounds. A
pound is equal to $4.86 in our money
BY 1900 the exports of butter from
New Zealand were worth 693 701
pounds and of cheese 208,258 pounds;
The development has been very
steady, showing the healthy condi.
ton of the trade and the gradual in.
crease in the COW population of New
Zealand. For the year ending March.
1904, the exports OF butter were worth
1,440,237 pounds and Of cheese 217,14e

As Milk Grows Old.

IN an experiment on the relation OF
temperature to the keeping property.
OF milk, at the Connecticut Storrs
station, the bacteria in milk multi
Piled fivefold in twenty-four hours
when the temperature was 50 degrees
f., and $50 fold in the same time
when the temperature was 10 degrees.
Milk kept at IS curdled in eighte en-
hours. at 20 in forty-eight hours, apd
at so in 14S hours. So far as the keep
ing property offmilk is concerned, low
temperature is considered Of more
Importance than cleanliness.
In milk kept at IS the species de-
velop1ng most rapidly is the undesir-
able one known as Bacillus lactis aero
genes.
] AT a temperature of 70 this species
develops relatively less rapidly in the
majority of cases than Bacillus 1actis
5ac1d1, which latter is very desirable
In both cream and cheese ripening.
, The bacteria in milk kept at so in
crease slowly, and later consist of
very few Tactic organisms, but of mis-
cellaneous types, including many
forms that render the milk unwho!e-
some.
These bacteria continue to grow
slowly day after day, but the milk
keeps sweet because the Tactic organ
lsms do not develop abundantly.
Such milk in the course of time
becomes far more unwholesome than
sour milk, since it is filed with organ
1sms that tend to produce putrefac-
ton.
Although the temperature of so de-
grees is to be emphatically recon-
mended to the dairyman for the pur-
pose of keeping his milk sweet and in
proper condition for market, he must
especially be on his guard against the
feeling that milk which is several
days old is proper for market, even
though it is still sweet and has not
curdled.
Quite the reverse is the case. Old
milk is never wholesome, even though
it has been kept at a temperature of
SO degrees and still remains sweet and
uuCuIul0u.
This very considerably modifes
some of our previous ideas concerning
milk, for it has been generally be-
lieved that, so long as the milk re-
mains sweet, it is in good condition
for use. Quite the contrary in this
case, if it has been kept at tempera-
,ture of so degrees or in this vicinity.
. It is not unlikely that it is this
fact that leads to some of the cases of
ice cream poisoning so common in
summer.
The cream is kept at low tempera-
ture for several days until consid-
cradle quantity has accumulated or
demand has come for ice cream, and,
when made into ice cream, it is filled
with bacteria in great numbers and
of suspicious character.-Prof. H. w.

Speit (Triticum Spelta).

Spelt is cereal which in appear
ance is intermediate between wheat
and barley, but, in reality, is one of
the types into which wheat is d.
vided. It is a native of the countries
near the Mediterranean sea. At the
present time it is grown principally on
the poorer soils in Switzerland, south
ern Germany and northern Spain. It
is also grown at an elevation in Swift
zerland where the common wheat
(Triticum vulgare) will not thrive
For general cultivation is is consid-
cred much inferior to the finer varie-
ties OF wheat. The head is open, mar
row, beaded or bald, and is usually
very long. When the grain is threshed
the head breaks into pieces at the diff
ferent joints, or nodes, leaving the
grain still clasped firmly by the chaff.
In order to make separation of the
char from the seed, special machinery
is required. The grain is medium
hard, and somewhat compressed at
the sides. The. grain in Ontario fire.
quently called Spelt belongs to the
Emmer class, and is, therefore, i'm
properly named. To find out the
value of Spelt for growing in Ontario,
we have imported at different times
no less than ten varieties from Swift
zerland, Russia, Germany, the Argen-
tine Republic and the United States.
Two of these varieties proved entire
failures, two others gave poor results,
and the other six varieties yiel>led
moderately we'll. AS the grain is en-
closed by a chaff somewhat similar to
oats, and weighs less than 40 pounds
per measured bushel, the results here
presented are given in pounds, in
stead of bushels of grain per acre.
One of the best varieties of Spelt has
now been grown in the experimental
plots for five years, and has given an
average yield of 1923 pounds of grain
per acre.-Ontario Station.

Business Was Brisk,

A pushcart peddler took his station
at the head of Warren street the other
day and was promptly chased away by
cop. He moved down the street and
had no sooner propped up his cart
than small urchin stole two peaches.
While the owner was chasing the boy
a team of horses standing near by
moved up and began to make a meal
OF his choicest pears. BY the time the
Greek had settled with the horses he
was arrested by another cop.-New

He Talked Too Much.

Speaking one day Of Club sociabil.
ity, Mr.. Mayer, the cartoonist, told of
a club to which he was invited while
in Berlin. The club was composed of
elderly Germans, who met in a back
room to drink beer and smoke. At in
tervals one of the clubmen would re-
move his pipe from his mouth, nod his
head sagely and remark YAH" After
a little pause another of the smokers
would say, "Yah." That was the ex-
tent of their conversation.
Zone night" said Mr.. Mayer, zone
of the members brought his son to the
club. After several of the older ones
had spoken. as usual, the youngster
spoke up. He said. "Yah, YAH"
They expelled him at once" con-
Guided Mr.. Mayer, @'for talking too
much. "-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

A Trick in Seed SELLING.

A Trick in Seed Selling. g..
The Grain Dealers National Associ-
alton, recently in session in Milwau-
kee, passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, Seed houses do large
business In the sale of seed grains,
and thereby may materially affect the
general business of the crops OF grain
thus produced, either for, better or
worse; and,
Whereas, It is known that seed
thus sold by seed houses does not al
ways possess the merit of type and
breeding sufficient to meet the expec-
tat1ons OF the purchaser, and in fact
often does not tend to raise the
standard of the general crops pro-
duced. For example it has been too
common practice for seedsmen to
purchase ordinary corn from farmers
cribs and sell the same under special
brands when in fact it possessed no
special merit whatever, with respect
to type and breeding, and the same is
true in regard to other grains; there
fore, ,. .,.,,...x.~, 49,
Resolved, That the Grain Dealers
National Association, now in conven-
ton assembled in Milwaukee this 23d
day of June, 1904, does hereby urgent
~ request all firms engaged in the
selling of seed grain to adopt a line
of business policy that will result in
giving more attention to the questions
of type and breeding and adaptability
and thereby assist in improving the
quality and yield of grains; also,
Resolved, That the secretary be in
structed to send copy of this reso-
luton to all the principal firms en-
gagged in the business of selling seed
grains in the grain producing states,
and also to all the leading agricul-
tural pape.'s in the country.
The practice against which the res
olution is directed is one that has
long been condemned by conscientious
dealers. It not only Injuries the farm
ers, but Injuries the firms that are try.
ing to do an honest business. 1t is
gratifying to see a great association
take the stand that this one has taken.
The agitation is sure to bear fruit
