WHITE FLOUR SELLS BEST.
Tinge Of Yellow Makes It Unsala BILE
New Bleaching Process In
creases Nutrition.

Nothing, declares the New York
Times, has bothered the millers and
the health faddists more than the de-
mand among Americans for white
flour. The whittier the -four the better
it sells, and of late years -four that
had the slightest tinge of yellow has
been practically unstable. Now, yell
low is the natural color of flour, and in
order to obtain the pure whiteness so
much in demand the -four has to be sub
mitted to bleaching process, which
the health faddists declare much i'm
pairs its nutritive qualities. This is not
denied by the millers, who, however, are
only interested in giving the public what
it wants.
An Englishman named Alsop has now
come forward with new process for
bleaching -four, which, it is alleged, in
stead of impairing the nutritive quail
ties Of the -four, increases them. This
process consists of submitting the flour
to the action of air which has been SUBJ
jected to the action Of an arc or flaming
discharge Of electricity. Analyses made
in some of the state agricultural de-
partments show that ordinary untreated
-four contains $4,000 of its own bulk
Of heterogeneous matter, while treated
-four contains 75-1 900.

ENTERPRISE THAT COUNTS,
Unique Good Roads Movement In
augurated by Citizens Of a
Missouri Village.

The business men of Argentine, Mo-,
have come to the conclusion that there
is only one way to have good roads.
That is by building them. They have
decided, therefore, to give up a day to
the business of repairing the road be-
tween their town and Kansas City.
All the stores, banks, hotels, newspa-
per Offices and other business houses
of Argentine are to be closed for an
entire day in order that every man in
the place may get out with a pick or a
shovel and work on the road. BY do
ing this the citizens of Argentine think
they can be reasonably sure that there
will be something to show when they
get through for the sacrifice of their
time and the exercising of their mus
cles. There will be no chance for I'M
scrupulous contractors or public Off
Gals to defeat the will of the inhabit-
ants or to steal or misappropriate their
money.
The Chicago Record Herald says the
business men of Argentine are wise
in recognizing the Importance of good
roads, and they are to be commended
for the earnestness with which they
are endeavoring to increase the mile
age Of improved highways in this
country. 1t is to be hoped that Argen-
tine has no teamsters' union which
may decide at the last moment that
the business men are exceeding their
rights in wanting better roads, and so
put a stop to a project that seems to
be so praiseworthy.

BULLETS WHISTLE CHARMS.
Breath Of the Deadly Mauser Is Said
to Possess q Strange
& Fascination.

The old fable of the siren has it's
duplicate in one of the most deadly
of modern weapons. The whistle of a
bullet ought to be a deadly sound; it
is surprising to be told that it is a
beautiful one. Mr.. H. F. Provost Bat
tersby says, in his South African
notes called I'm the Web of a War"
The mauser's most melodious period
is from 800 to 1900 yards. Over that
distance its note is the most exquisite
ly lovely of sounds. "The silky breath
Of the mauser" is phrase that ade-
Quately describes It.
But there is something more about it
than its beauty, something strange
and baleful. It goes by like the sing
ing of wandering soul that can find
rest only by bringing death to another.
1t is a signing SO indescribably tender
and sad and sweet that every sound
of human lips seems without charm
beside it.
After lying for q time under that
silky breath, one has even to resist 4
desire to lift his head and take the
next pun Of 1t in his face,

than to restore the activity of it's natural
juciness. Any little feed cooker will do
to which steam connection may be made
The pipe run from such steam gen.
orator into barrel, for instance, filled
with shredded fodder, will accomplish
the purpose and serve for supply for
from one to five head of stock. For the
feeding of dairy heard or large num-
Der of stock such as arrangement as
have built has proved most satisfactory.
In the accompanying illustration is
shown the essential outline of an out
At as I have it arranged. The central
section a, is used to house the little
boiler employed in generating the
steam. This is built only large enough
to hold the boiler and reasonable
supply of fuel. This has door in the
end entering upon fire box side of boiler
On the sides of this are built two bins, as
shown at b. These are closed with
hinged covers as shown at C, and elevated
as at &C. These may be made from three
to four feet high at the outer edge or any
other height found most serviceable.
The capacity should be regulated by the
requirements Of the feeder Pipes are
run as shown at e, having valves d, to
regulate supply of steam from steamer
to bins. Pipes are run into bins from one
to two or three inches above floor of
steaming bins, having an upward exit,
as shown at f. Other arrangements may
be made in the matter of laying the pipe,
which may be run into and around CEN
ter Of bins, with holes bored in pipe to
allow steam to escape at different
points, thus securing possibly better
distribution. The arrangement as
shown, however, has always given me
satisfaction. These bins or boxes should
be lined with heavy zinc, the sides and
bottom as we'll as the lid, which should
be so arranged about the edges as to
make 1t steam proof. A heavy lining
should be selected to prevent being cas-
lily punctured by the careless man in
cleaning out the boxes with his fork

FODDER STEAMING OUTFIT.
The Arrangement Here Described Will
Pay for Itself in Increased
Yield from Cows.

I have for number of years, even
with silo at hand, steamed hundreds of
tons of shredded fodder This I have
fed not only in the dairy, but to hogs,
sheep, fattening cattle, young stock, and
to horses. 1t makes feed so much more
palatable than the dry fodder that it pays
for the small trouble and expense of
treating the fodder, simply for the salts
faction given the stock. l can secure a
greater gain of weight on fattening stock
and heavier flow OF milk in the dairy
with steamed fodder than can with the
best quality of shredded fodder dry, or
of almostany of the ordinary hay. This is
because cattle eat it with so much more
relish that large amounts are consumed
and the available nutrients are rendered
more digestible.
There are number of simple ways in
which the fodder may be steamed, the
main essential being to provide some
means for producing live steam. The
object is to steam the hay and never to
cook or boil, or to water-soak it farther

He Finds His Own Grave.

Capt. William F. Campbell, of Allen
wood, Pa, thinks he has a good joke
on some one. He is perhaps one of few
men who have read their own epitaphs
upon tombstone. On a recent visit to
the national cemetery at Fredericks-
burg, Va, Capt. Campbell saw a grave
with a marker bearing his name and
the information that he had been killed
in the battle of Spottsylvania The mis-
take occurred in this way: In that bat
tie Capt. Campbell was taken prisoner
and taken to Macon, Ca, thence to
Charleston. On the battlefield body
resembling that of the captain was
found and buried as that of Capt Camp
bell, the men who conducted the obse-
quies not knowing Campbell had been
taken prisoner.

Using Wooden Pals for Milk.

Under circumstances as they exist
on many farms it is better not to use
wooden vessels Of any kind for the
holding of milk. The use Of the wood
en- pail is to be objected to for the
reason that 1t Is difficult to keep clean.
The pores in the wood readily take in
portions Of the milk and only severe
treatment in the way Of scalding each
time can keep them out This Is IL

fully washed and dried they remain
sweet for years. The wooden milk
pail will remain sweet il it is con-
stantly washed and saturated with

Is not done. Therefore, 1t is safer to
depend on some kind of a vessel thai
has no pores, and that Is easily
washed. Farmers Review,

KNOCKED DOWN SHERIDAN.
General Got In the First Lick and
Then Private LETTERS Wiped
the Ground with Him.

when our division" said an old
Illinois soldier to a Chicago Inter
Ocean man, Swung back from the
pursuit of Bragg in November, 1862,
we marched toward Nashville and
camped for short time at Edgefeld,
just across the Tennessee from Nash
vile. AS we went into camp, Gen.
Phil Sheridan, commanding the di-
vision, dismounted near a house on a
hill to our left, and designated thu
house and yard as his headquarters
Between this house and our regiment,
the Fifty-second Ohio, was field
given up to cabbage. Many of the
heads had been cut off earlier in the
season, and fresh, green, tender
sprouts had grown up about the stalks.
CAS- soon as our guns were stacked
the men broke ranks and literally
swarmed over the cabbage field. They
had been living on short army rations
for so long a time that they hnngered
for cabbage, and in five minutes that
field was black with soldiers, and they
cleared it of everything green as they
moved forward. So intent were they
on gathering the cabbage that they
paid no attention to Sheridan's calls
for them to go back to their quarters.
They paid no attention even to the or
ders of the guards Sheridan sent
among them. At last, the general,
Tuning and swearing, caught up a
stout cane or club and went down
a-nong the men himself.
"The men in advance fell back when
they saw the general coming, but 9TH
ers not seeing him kept at work, and
so it happened that Sheridan, with
club raised to strike, came unawares

Second Ohio. Jack was one of the
stnidiest and most athletic men in the
regiment, and was not much given to

wholly oblivious of the approach Of
the general commanding the division.
Jack was bending over a particu-
larly fine bit of cabbage when Sheridan
made rear attack, striking the stoop-
ing man a resounding whack with his
club. Jack went forward on his hands
and face, and, supposing that one Of
the boys had pushed him over in
rough frolic, he scrambled to his feet,
and turning in blind fury struck his
assailant squarely in the face. Sherl-
dan went down on his back, and Jack,
recognizing the figure and the uniform
bolted in panic for our own camp.
Sheridan was wild with rage. A
score of men ran to him, helped him
up and brushed the dirt from his hair
and clothes. He pushed them rudely
aside and shouted: Don't bother about
my clothes-catch the skunk that
knocked me down; catch him, 1 say
and he ran forward himself in the di-
rection taken by letters. Many of the
boys ran with him, but curiously

CLOSE PLANTING OF TREES.
It Is a Common Practice, But One
Which Inevitably Causes
Loss Later On.

In the setting out of orchard trees
this spring, the distance apart should
be given more consideration than is
usually given it. 1t has always been
a general fault, at least in this coun-
try, to set the trees too near together.
We have seen apple trees planted so
close that by the time they were
ten years old their branches inter-
locked and the foliage produced a
semi-twilight below. We have never
seen such an orchard loaded with fruit
That mistake was made generally 40
years ago. Since that time men have
been coming to realize the fact that
close planting is very detrimental
to the producing of fruit. First the
apple trees were planted rod apart.
Then the distance was increased to 20
feet and then to 25. Now our best
orchardists are planting their small
growers 80 feet apart and the large
limbed trees IS feet apart. Some
planters are even putting their trees
40 feet apart each way, especially If
they are Of the larger growing varie-
ties.
In the matter of pears some varie-
ties should be set at least 80 feet apart,
while straight growers may be set
20 and Is. Peaches are not generally
large growing trees and will do well
If set as close as 20 feet each way.
Plums should have at least Is feet, and
some Of the varieties should have 20
feet. OF course dwarf varieties Of all
kinds of fruit can be planted much
closer than standards. 1t is mistake
to plant close with the intention of
cutting out half Of the trees. The
cutting out is never done.-Farmers'
Review.
