Appreciates the sitaa Milk.


The farmers of the corn belt are
coming more and more to appreciate
the value Of their skim milk for feed.
ing on their farms to their calves,
hogs and poultry. Talking with the
manager of creamery in Northern
Illinois, representative of the Farm
ers' Review was told that he could
buy no skim milk for making up into
cottage cheese; for the reason that
the farmers in his vicinity would not
sell 1t. They declared that 1t was
worth at least 20 cents per 100 pounds
for feeding to their farm animals, and
that they preferred to keep it, even IL
they could get that for it. One man
lived not far from bottling establish.
ment where he could get good price
for his whole milk, but he preferred
to haul 1t to a whole milk creamery
that he might get the skim milk to use
on his farm. In this same locality
one year the farmers quite generally
sold their milk for shipping to the
city, but when fall came found that
their hogs were in poor condition on
account of having been deprived of
the skim milk in the early, periods OF
their lives. The next year they made
a change and held back the skim
milk for their own use. We doubt
very much if 20 cents per 100 pounds
represents the true value of the skim
milk for feeding purposes. That may
be indicated by the actual chemical
content of the milk but it has value
beyond that, which is the value that
it has in combination with corn. 1t
has been shown that corn is worth
very much more when fed with skim
milk than when fed alone. AS bal
ANGER for corn it has value that the
chemist will never be able to deter.

Checking CutMorms.

In all gardening operations more or
less trouble is experienced from the
attacks Of cutworms. Sometimes a
good many plants are cut off in
single night. This trouble Is made
worse by the use of barnyard manure,
which is later found to have con-
tanned the eggs that Matched into cut
worms. The use of this manure can.
not be avoided very well. At least 1t
is easier to fight the cutworms than
to disarrange the methods of doing
the garden work. The worms gener-
ally feed near the top of the ground
and near the moisture line. In wet
weather they crawl about from one
plant to the other, but during ordinary
weather their attacks are usually de-
iivered under the surface of the soil.
One way of protecting the plants
against the attacks of these worms is
to wrap paper loosely about them at
setting time, having the paper reach
at least an inch below the ground
and two inches above. The worms do
not seem to know how to get under
or over Sucn an obstruction. In a dry
time the wrapper should extend below
the moisture line in the soil, but be-
low that line the worms will not go.
Care should be taken to have it loose
enough about the stem to leave the
plant free to develop naturally. In
some cases gardeners that have many
plants to protect use tin protectors.
Strips Of tin about eight inches long
and three inches wide are used. Be.
fore the tin is bent into a circle the
ends for about one inch are folded
back to form two hooks that clasp in.
to each other and make the joint that
holds the cylinder together. When
the danger from worms is past these
cylinders are taken off and stored
away to be used in subsequent years.

About Sleeves.

The very wide sleeves that are be-
ing worn at present undoubtedly tend
to take away from the apparent
height of the figure, and if you are
rather inclined to be short yourself
you will do wisely to exercise a judi
cious supervision and to forbid your
dressmaker to indulge in any vagaries
either as regards the shape or trim
ming of your sleeves. You can still
have something which is quite suffi-
ciertly fashionable without adding
in an unbecoming way to the width of
your figure.

Demand for Sweet Cream Butter.

DGTTldHU lot oWCSl STCdH1 ouLLCT.
Sweet cream butter is butter that
has not been sailed and not butter
made from unripened cream. That
the demand for this kind of butter is
increasing is remarkable fact. The
creamery at Ringwood, Illinois, is ma
king about 10000 pounds of butter a
month and all, except that used by
the patrons, is being taken by a large
dairy company of Chicago. Gradually
there has been an increase in the de.
mand for unsalted butter, till now
two-thirds of all the butter supplied
by that creamery Is of this kind. That
is, about 10000 pounds of unsalted
butter is being supplied by this one
creamery every month and there are
numerous other creameries making
some sweet cream butter. At first the
demand was from the foreigners al
most wholly, and especially from the
Jews. Indeed, the Jews were such
great users of this unsalted butter
that the factory men dubbed 1t Jew
butter" But it is now losing that
characterization, for the reason that
many native Americans are using. it
instead of the sailed article. We have
supposed that the demand for the
fresh article was to be confined to
European countries like France, but
we are evidently mistaken. The but.
ter is making great Roadway in Eng.
land, where the demand has always
previously been for sailed butter This
in our country at least marks new
phase of creamery development.

County Judge John H. Scott, who
has been attending the Good Roads
Convention, held at Walla Walla, Wash
ington, November 30th and December
1st, returned home last night, and,
when asked by a Journal reporter If
the convention was a success, replied:
eyes, we had splendid convention of
good, representative citizens, who seem
to be very much interested in the inn
provement of their public highways.
The Walla Walla Commercial Club took
an active part in making the conven'
tion success, working earnestly and
faithfully endeavoring to make every
one welcome to their beautiful city.
"We met in the Commercial Club
rooms at p. m, Wednesday, after hav-
ing gone, in body, to view the sam
pie road that is now being constructed
by the government experts, James w.
Abbott and j. H. Dodge. There were
number of good addresses at the af-
ternoon session, which was presided
over by Ex-Governor Miles G. Moore.
The convention was opened with a
pleasing address of welcome, delivered
by Major Hurst, followed by addresses
by President Penrose, of Whitman Col
lege, Sam Piles, of Seattle, and 9th
ers. This closed the afternoon session
and the evening meeting was devoted
to a lecture, illustrated with stereopti
con views, by James w. Abbott.
Thursdays work was taken up witt
informal discussion of the various
phases of the road problem, after whicl
papers by Prof o. L. Waller, of thu
Pullman Agricultural College, on tn
construction of culverts, and James b
Meille, secretary of the Washington
State Good Roads Association, on tn
relation of good roads to the develop
ment of national resources, were rea
by Secretary H. S. Blanford, 9hes
gentlemen being unable to be presen
in person.
Judge Scott was not the only Ore
gonian present at the Washingto
meeting, there being large numbe
from Eastern Oregon, some from Port
land, and one man from Astoria, Nj
! Parker, being present.

veniton, the judge said: 81 believe
that my trip will cause an increased at
tendance at our state convention, that
is to convene in this city at 1880 p. m,
the 18th day of this month. Senator
Smith, of Pendleton, promised me that
he would be present, and would infiu-
ence every one possible from his section
of the country to come also.
"The interest in road improvement
is growing as fast as can be expected.
The past year has been an off-year in
road Improvement in the Willamette
valley, for the reason that we did not
have our usual summer rains to pack
the newly graded roads, and in conse-
ouence the new roads turned to dust in
the summer and mud in the fall, as soon
as the rain did come"
When it was mentioned that some
opposition had been put up to the road
Improvement, he looked slightly dis
gusted, and said: ''We have few
people who think because they have
some good roads agitation occasionally
that we ought to have good roads all
over the country in a short time. The
trouble is that we have not enough
funds TO do the work in systematic
manner, and the agitation is for the
purpose of getting our people to study
the good roads problem, as it presents
itself today, and we believe that when
that can be accomplished we will be
furnished the necessary funds to carry
on the work more nearly as it should
be. The people who expect the most
/ find, do the least in support OF thu
cause, while some active effort on thei
part would cause them to take diff
: ferent view of the subject"
When asked if, in view of the exist
ing conditions, whether he thought tn
interest was increasing, he answered
eyes, the interest for the better higf
way is steadily growing, and will COZ
tinue to do so, as the people make
better and more thorough study OF th
road problem"

great stretch of territory. Nor are they confined wholly to the Southern mountains
 T have seen them coming down out of the woods at Highland Falls, N Y.s carrying their little bundles of kind- ling and their baskets of berries for sale, and I understand on good author. ity that one may run across them ev- en in New England. It is a true and noble instinct that seeks to help them. The most of them. if rightfully ap- preached, are accessible to Christian influences. By force of circumstances they have simply been crowded down, and have lost hope os better conditions Whoever is willing to serve them sureS ly has the spirit of Christ.
 God forbid that I should speak an unjust or harsh word concerning the good men and women that have put their hands to their great task. I give them my sympathy and commendation in full measure They will find our very speedily that there is not much romance in their toils, but an endless round of drudgeries and many bitter disappointments. Sooner or later they will see that their only wisdom is td assist these belated and unfortunata Americans to assist themselves. Ev- every ounce of effort that goes beyond that point will be in vain.
 There is more ignorance more im-a morality, more downright heathenisnr in lower New York than in all the Southern mountains put together. The great majority of .he mountaineers. as I have said before are excellent citizens. loving their country and their flag, obeying its laws without rel luctance and ready to fight for 1t whenever any fighting needs to be done. They are the descendants of the men who rode with Sevier and Shelby to Kings Mountain in 17S0 and of those who followed Jackson to Now Orleans in 1915.
 "In the Civil War they divided sharp., ly. Neutrality is foreign to their ma .i lures. They are always on one side or the other, and have a perfectly glor- ious capacity for partisanship. The bulk of them are great lovers of their homes and their families. Honesty, courage and hospitality are almost universal among them. Corn cribs, go unlocked the year around. and fam- flies work in the field. leaving their homes unoccupied and wide open all day long. To be known as a coward Is to lost standing. To turn away 6 stranger who seeks food and shelter is unheard of Anarchists and commu- nists are, of course, out of tho ques- tion. Belief in Christianity is wide- spread and Is followed by membership, in some church"

Chicago Chronicle.
 The Appalachian region from South ern Pennsylvania, through Virginia. Tennessee, Kentucky. North Carolina and Georgia, Is not densely populated, but four-fifths of it is well fed, well housed well clothed and reasonably well educated and evangelical. If any body doubts the assertion he has only to make a careful inquiry to convince himself of its correctness. The region in question includes such towns as Roanoke, Wytheville, Bristol, Knox ville. Chattanooga, Huntsville and Asheville. It also embraces immense areas of fine farming and grazing lands and inexhaustible beds of iron, coal, copper, marble and other minerals. and is now passing through a most re- markable development
 There may be a few counties in East ern Kentucky yet lying beyond the rim Of modern civilization and inhabited mainly by long haired and long-legged folk who get their living by fishing and hunting. Certainly there are no such counties in Tennessee. and. as far as my knowledge goes there are none in North Carolina or Georgia. It is possible to find here and there in the remoter coves scattered communities that have fallen utterly behind in the race and are maintaining a hand-to- mouth existence. without thought of better things But the number of such communities is relatively small.
 Bishop Foss, who knows this exten- sive region well, says that 250.000 is a large and liberal estimate of the num- Der of debased and besotted souls who really answer to the current descrip- tions, and these are scattered over a
