New eMat Preservative.

A new meat curing process Is re-
ported from Germany. where Profes.
sor Emmerich claims to be able to
preserve meat in a fresh condition by
injecting into the veins OF the dead
animal acetic acid. The blood is first
permitted to run out and then the
acid is put IL. 1t permeates the flesh.
SO the professor claims, and that pre-.
vents all decay and makes the use of
refrigeration unnecessary. II is OBJ
vious that IL this process proves to be
all that Is claimed for 1t, it will revo-
lutionize the meat curing industry, as
acetic acid Is not an expensive pre-
servative. The reports say that meat
SO cured has been shipped from Ger
many TO South African ports and was
found on arriving at its destination to
he of good quality and perfectly pre-
served. Our readers must remember
however that great things are claimed
for all new processes.

Reject Decayed Food.

The farmer is sometimes tempted
to feed decayed or musty food to hi3
poultry 1t should never be done.
Just what effect it might have on the
eggs produced by the fowls we do not
know, but it may have a very serious
effect on the digestive apparatus. We
have seen it urged not to feed such
foods because they would give to the
eggs the same taints they had them
selves, but this may be doubted. One
writer tries to prove his case by as
sorting that onions fed to fowls pro-
duced the smell OF onions in the eggs.
This may well be true, as the onion
contains a very penetrating oil that
will pass through the systems Of most
animals. 1t will appear in the egg OF
the hen or the milk of the COW. But
that does not apply to the general
run of foods. They should be re-
jected. but rejected for the reason
that they endanger the health OF the
birds,

FEEDING the Bull.

The feeding OF the bull Is very
important matter, more so than the
feeding Of the COW, for the reason that
the bull Is generally kept up all the
time. Under such an abnormal CON.
dition he becomes too fat il he Is
fed n too large ration OF corn. 1t Is
better to feed him on a mixed grain
ration, including oats, and to give
him a rough feed rich in nitrogen
rather than rich in carbon. Bran.
which Is comparatively low In car
bon and high in nitrogen, should be
part of the daily ration. For the
bull a, least roots should be fed In
considerable quantities, unless he has
an abundance of exercise, which most
of our bulls do not get. If under
properly balanced ration the bull be-
comes too fat it is indicative OF
lack of vigor, and such bull should
be disposed OF and one substituted
that has the vigor desired.

Green Manuring Crops.

There are many soils that are not
benefited by green manurinS crops.
Sucn soils are those already rich In
nitrogen and in humus. An investiga-
ton by the University of Illinois has
shown that on many of the soils in
Illinois an addition Of humus and OF
nitrogen would be positive detri-
ment. This leads to the remark that
we must have a reason for every farm
operation. The green manure crop
is needed on the soil that Is deficient
in humus and nitrogen. but Is labor
los, on many other soils. II Is obvious
that we cannot lay down rules that
can be followed blindly on all farms.
The green manuring crop Is valuable
where II Is needed. but worthless or
worse. where II Is not needed. The
intelligence Of every farmer must de-
termine the necessity for each opera
ton on the farm.

Indian Households.

No ore Is a separate unit In India.
The sons never leave the parental
roor-tree. All MISUNDERSTANDING
with them is as birth ard death. In
evitable-and their children are added
to the family. There are always wild
owed aunts, ether grandparents-no
relative Is ever left to shift for him
self In India-so that households of
$50 are not uncommon. Add almost
as many servants. ard we have some
idea of the occupation and cares Of
the mistress of such home. The
servants quarters surround the yard
or compound" and the ladies of the
household care for them as did the
stately DANES OF old Virginia in the
plantation life before the war. The
great zenana courtyards stretch back
to fruit and vegetable gardens, and
there are tanks or artificial ponds,
where ladies ard children battle in Sc
clusion. Blossoming trees rise above
hedges that jealousy guard these sa-
cred retreats, where family may
sport in private with freedom un-
Known to us, and suited to their shy,
poetic, playful natures, that only un-
fold when with each other, caring as
little to see the world outside as to

The dog caddie is the striking inno-

young women have introduced the dog

you are constantly losing balls. Balls

finds it later himself he can sell 1t at a

you never lose ball. He noses

An Island of Black Cats.

One of the queerest corners of the
earth is Chatham island, off the coast
of Ecuador. This island lies six hun
dred miles west of Guayaquil, and the
equator runs directly through it.
Capt. Reinman, who was sent to Gala
pages group of islands to inquire into
the proper grounding of a deep-sea
cable, stopped at Chatham island, and
says it abounds in cats, every one OF
which is black. These animals liveAin
the crevices of the lava foundation
near the coast, and subsist by catch
ing fish and crabs instead of rats and
mice. Other animals found on this
island are horses, cattle, dogs, goats
and chickens, all of which are per.

potentate, whether Of a commodity
market or any other real or fancied
realm. Then they were plentiful, or
at least were only beginning to get
scarce. Strange as it may seem, when
one considers how numerous Texas
long.horn steers were only short

Is almost as much OF a rarity as the

SNATCHED CHAIN
UNGRATEFUL CONDUCT OF A
MAN WHO WANTED A LIGHT.

Mr.. Charles Levi, Of Thirteenth

day night, by a highwayman at the
Tennessee street crossing of the Illi-
nois Central railroad about 10 O'Clock,
but the footpad got only small watch
cnain of triflinR value.
Levi had called on young lady Of
Tennessee street and was returning
home. He was smoking a cigarette
when the highwayman stepped out
from behind the fiagman mouse and
asked Levi for match. He had no
matches but offered q light from his
cigarette and when the footpad came
up to him, snatched his watch chain.
Levi had no watch on the chain and
the chain was easily secured.
When the young man realized that
hew as held up, he drew his pistol
and shot several times at the fleeing
form. The highwaymau ran fast and
after he gained the hollow was lost to
sight.
