Minnesota Again Wins.

Minnesota again has the highest
average score on butter at the st. Louis
worlds fair. j. C.Joslyn of Winsted
takes the sweepstakes on print butter
with score Of 98; Mrs. J. G. McRosta
of Owatonna sweepstakes on dairy,

of Minnesota on creamery with a score
Of $3.50. P: Jenson Of Union Cream

James Rasmussen of Lerdahi, Mimi,
third score, 97%. .,,*... ...
Minnesota wins the sweepstakes on
unsalted butter by score of 81. Mrs.
Sondegard of Hutchinson, Mimi, was
at a great disadvantage owing to the
fact that she complied with the rule
that required all butter to be in St.
Louis by Sept. 10. Iowa delivered its
product two days after the required
time. Wisconsin and Illinois delivered
their showing at the exposition grounds
on Sept. Is, five days after the time re-
quired by the exposition rules. This
completes the third of the four tests
Minnesota has for the third time won
the highest average and her ultimate
full victory is practically assured.

Good Butter Has Good Flavor.

Good butter always has good favor.
The flavor counts for a great deal more
than anything else in the judging OF
butter. One observer of the scoring
process says that it may be accepted as
a quite general rule that the higher the
flavor the higher the score. 1t is prob
able that the judge is sometimes pre-
JUDGED in favor of butter by its high
flavor even to the extent Of not marking
it off very severely on color, grain and
salt. In flavor the chief quality is what
the butter judges call clean flavor. Just
at this time of year we hear complaints
of a. weedy flavor in butter, which is
evidently due to the dry conditions in
which some of the pastures have been re-
Gently. The clean flavor spoken of above
can be secured only when the milk is
made from good, succulent feed and is
handled under perfectly clean condi-
tions.-Farmers' Review. i

BITTER FLAVOR IN, CHEESE
A Difficult Problem Which Many
Dairy Authorities Have Tried
to Solve in Vain.

In discussing the means of getting
rid OF bitter flavor in cheese, at
conference of dairy instructors at Ot-
tawa, Canada, Mr.. Publow said:
When the whey is delivered back
to the farms we follow this plan: We
have the tanks thoroughly cleaned and
then the day when the whey does not
60 back, the farmers have an oppor-
tunity to thoroughly clean the cans.
Where this has been done, there has
been no trace of the bitter flavor at
the factory the next day. We have the
bitter flavor in some factories from
which the whey does not go back,
some of them being the cleanest fac
tories we have in eastern Ontario. In
one factory, I think the cleanest I vis-
tied this year in eastern Ontario, out
of the milk Of 81 patrons only that Of
four patrons had this bitter flavor.
and the curd made from their milk
was as bitter as bitter elm. The curd
broke down quite soft and would
pucker your tongue. Three of these
patrons had their cans under trees,
and the other had cans in the yard
with no tree near it, but they MIXED
in a stable that was not clean, and
the yard where the milk stood was not
clean. When the cans were removed
from under the trees and thoroughly
cleaned, and the stable of the other
patron was whitewashed and the milt1
taken care of, the trouble ceased right
away.
1--WE find the bitter flavor is the
most difficult thing to handle in the
making Of cheese. 1t seems to be diff
ferent from the ordinary bitter and
open cheese. The more the acid de-
veloped in the curd, the more open
the cheese would be. We get the best
results by having the milk come in
sweet But the milk from one section
was SO ripe that the curd showed acid
when it was soft, there was bitterness
in the cheese, and they would open up
no matter what we did The open
ness was in little circles or Sits across
the cheese, and in every case the taste
was a little bitter.
I'm going through the country I
have been surprised to see how many
cans are under trees But there are
many cases in which the cans are
kept away from the trees, where the
people are clean and the milk cared
for in first class fashion, and yet we
find this bitter flavor Unless the in
fection is in the grass as we'll as in
the trees, do not understand how it
can infect milk under such circum-
stances

Is the stYellow Perll'' Real?

- Why is it that England and America
do not. see the "Yellow Peril?"| Be-
cause they know that the invasion of
Europe and America will never come.
Because England and America have
so shaped their courses in their Asiatic
possessions that the natives cannot and
will not be driven to think of revolt,
much less invasion. The liberty, free
dom, fair play, and privileges granted
by England and American to their col
onies insure contentment and stability
among the natives. Any one who COM
pares the condition of the Straits Settle
ments and AMMAN will be immediately
convinced of their respective conditions
and corresponding prosperity. The
troubles in German Africa are the out
come of cruelty; the flourishing condi-
tion of the Sandwich Islands is the
fruit of impartiality. The "Yellow
Peril" of the Mongols under Genghis
Kahn is a thing of the past,-dead CEN
turies ago. Asia then suffered far
more than Europe which was visited
by the Tartars. Nearly every nation
on the Asiatic mainland was conquered,
and the Chinese suffered most terribly
from their INVASION.
The "Y fellow Peril" will never come
again. If it comes at all, it will be at
the time when European civilization
has retrograded and Europeans return
to a condition of saYagery far below
that Of their ancestors before the days
of Caesar. The "Y elbow Peril' is only
possible when the Asiatics are superior
to the Europeans in culture, science,
art, and general civilization, just as the
Europeans, superior to the Asiatics in
these respects, now dominate Asia.
1t will come when Europe and Amer
lea, weakened by incessant wars, are
so helpless that not only the Aslatics,
but even the Eskimos and Laplanders
will. be able to dictate terms. When
the Asiatics are able to overrun Europe
and America it will not be the day of
a "Yellow PERIL" but the day of
"golden era" If that day ever comes
it will mean that the Asiatics are SC
superior that they deserve the conquest

How Edam Cheese Is Made.

Edam cheese is made in Holland and
is pressed in round balls Of four or five
pounds each. When ready for ship
ment they are colored with annotto or
beet root and wrapped with tinfoil.i
Edam cheese is made from milk not
very rich in fat. Often some skimmilh
is used. The curd is made very dry and
the curing process is rather slow, SO
that the resulting cheese is very mild
and will keep unchanged almost inden-
saitely. It is; however, very digestible.

EFFECT OF SOIL on MILK.
English Scientist Advances a New
Theory Which May Be Worth
Thinking About.

The surprising assertion is made by
an English scientist that the class of soil
on which the hay or pasture grass is
grown controls to large extent the
quality of the milk Americans will be
slow in accepting the statements in be-
half of such doctrine. 1t will do no
harm, however, to note the points that
the said scientist thinks he brings out
He claims, in the first place, that milk
from grass grown on limestone soil
will be richer than on clay soil, even
though all treatment of the COWS is the
same. But we have frequently noted
that the English still have the idea that
the richness of the milk continually va
ries according to the richness of the feed.
This idea is being constantly brought out
in one way and another there, the local
Judges even letting off the milkmen that
sell milk below the required percentage
of Solids, the milk producers having
made the plea that the feed was poor in
quality. -.
Again, the man referred to declares
that milk made on limestone soil will
keep so per cent. longer than that made
on clay soils, other things being equal.
He asserts that in the making Of cheese
the milk has to be scalded at not less
than 1O8 degrees if it is made on clay,
while if it is made on limestone soil the
scalding can be done at 10 degrees: He
does not try to explain the causes of
these remarkable differences, but guess
es that perhaps the micro-organisms in
the clay soil are different from the micro
organisms in the other soil. Unfortun-
ately, the gentleman does not furnish
the verified data to prove his assertions.

TWO EFFECTS OF CLOVER.
The Crop Acts Either as Collector Of
Nitrogen or as Sub-Earth
Cultivator.

Inc WOTk OF CLOVER Is uOL always "
get nitrogen from the air. There are
some soils, that are rich enough in
nitrogen and yet need the presence Of
the legumes. In a visit to Antioch,
ILL.,, the writer observed that the
soil is only a little acidy, and that it
is also rich in nitrogen. Glover is be-
ing grown, but Its work of soil reno
walton Is different from that it has to
perform on some other soils, espe-
cially those that are deficient in nitro
gen. Here the roots go deep into the
soil and help to improve the physical
condition Of the soil. It taps the stores
of potassium and phosphorus that are
hidden away in the depths of the
earth and brings them to the upper
layers of soil, where they will be with
in the reach Of the plants that do not
have the deep root systems that
clover and alfalfa have.
The clovers will be found to be USE
full on almost all soils where they will
grow, either as collectors of nitrogen
or as subearth cultivators. They send
their roots deep into the soil and tun-
mel in every direction. The roots in
time die, leaving multitude of pas
sages in the soil. These act as drains
and as air channels, by which the soil
is more fully aerated AS a nitrogen
gatherer the clover is of great use
on millions of acres of our lands
from which the nitrogen has been ex-
hausted, and on millions of other
acres it acts as a carrier of fertility
from the cellars to the upper storage
rooms of the soil.-Farmers' Review

Misrepresentation by Di :
=: rect Nomination.: =

Is. the primary election system going
to result in Misrepresentation? Is it
possible that the voters will choose di-
rectly candidates who do not represent
their principles, as we'll as candidates
chosen by indirect nomination?
Consider Representative McCleary's
astounding victory in the second con-
gressional district. The only sort of
tariff revision Mr.. McCleary believes in
is revision upwards. Now there cannot
be the least doubt in the world that at
least IS per cent of the republicans of
his district believe in revision down.
ward, and with a decided dip at that.
Mr.. McCleary made no concealment Of
his views. He was fatfooted in their
announcement. He delayed the Con-
gressional Record while he loaded it up
with high tariff speech, that would
have made the pinchbeck jewelry trust
red in the face, had it issued the same
document. Then he raced around his
district, hot with anger 1T his revision
ist opponent, and literally rubbed Il
in." '',~'
1 Mr.. Miller was equally frank and
emphatic in favor of tariff reform and
revision downward. He is an able man
of excellent material for congress. His
views were those of the people of his
district. Yet there was almost a
stampede at the polls to vote for Nc
Cleary. Why? Because the people of
the district knew Mr.. McCleary, be-
cause he has been an active and eff
cient congressman, because some
twelve years in congress has advertised
him far and near. In other words, the
people of the second district sacrificed
their political views in a political cam
paign for the personal benefit of man
whom they knew and liked. This is
loyalty Of a pleasing intensity, but it is
not good politics.
We confess, ourselves, to a certain
satisfaction in seeing Minnesota repre-
sented in congress by veteran members
sescion after session, but the deliberate
election of such a reactionary as Mr..
McCleary is symptom of a condition
in the republican party which means
disaster in the near future. If repub-
lican voters do not choose men for lead
ers who represent their principles, the
time will come when a small but
thoughtful minority will go over to the
opposition, and work such a revolution
that democrat may even yet repre-
sent the Second Minnesota district in
congress. This year the voters of the
Second will doubtless wisely conclude
that it is better to be misrepresented
by republican than represented by a
democrat, but some other year it may
be different Minneapolis Journal.
