DOORS IN THE HOUSE.

The question of odors is one oveE

hardest battles, even if she starts with a
house properly equipped for the strug-

in Good Housekeeping. They say that
animals haven no discrimination in doors;
that is, that their senses make no dis
tinetion between the pleasurable and
unpleasuraDle It often seems as if men
were made on the same plan. Many a

Food odors are not the only ones she
H has to fight against. Many furnishings
and floor coverings have doors, more Or
less unpleasant. This is an important
objection to cheap materials; they are
rarely odorless. You should select your
Furnishings with your nose. Even if the
odor is not actually disagreeable, the

ABOUT slLAGE MILK.
Prejudice Against Product of silage.
Fed Cows Is Declared to Be
Unjust ifable

A writer in Health Culture disposes
Of the question of feeding dairy cows
as follows:
She should be kept in a very clean
stable and he well groomed; have
plenty Of light, fresh air all the time,
exercise-at the risk Of less produc-
tion-pure water and pure food, free
from brewers waste, distillery refuse
and alcoholic ensilage. These fer
mented foods permeate her flesh and
give an odor and taste to her prod
uets, and the doors arising from these
foods poison the atmosphere she
breathes-in fact she Is an inebriates
and cannot produce normal milk on
such abnormal food So important is
this matter that the condensing fac
tories refuse to use milk from cows
fed upon these fermented foods, as it
will not keep when condensed and
canned. Such milk sours more quick
~ and is not fit for infants, indeed, it
makes them sick, and dairymen will
not feed their own children with it.
and will furnish milks for infants if
requested.
It is true, says Prairie Farmer, thai
some misguided officials of certain
milk eondensing factories have OBJ
jected to receiving milk from cows fed
upon ensilage, but this prejudice has
been demonstrated to be entirely
without foundation. There are other
Pandln N faa M ncf5-
age-made milk right along and have
no trouble with it.
A few years ago we ran across a
cheese factory in southern Wisconsin
that had refused to receive milk dur,
ing the summer from a given herd
because the cows had been fed ensil,
age the winter before. This simply
illustrates the ridiculous extremes te
which such things are often carried
The cheese factory had experienced
some difficulty in the manufacture OF
it's cheese and, not being able to dis
cover the cause, had loaded the blame
on to the silage, although none hat
| been fed for weeks
Such attempts as the above, On tat
part of ignorant persons. to diseredi
with consumers the milk made from
ensilage, is a great injustice to Thu
| producer, as it tends to debar hin
from the use of one of the best ferm
of feed for milk production. It ha.
been amply demonstrated that goot

storage, depending upon how they are
built and ventilated Some Of them are
not ventilated at all and the heterogen-
GUS mixture of everything to be pre-
served into which the cyclone Fefu-
gee dashes is not conducive to the best
keeping Of fruit.
This is the best method for keeping APP
pies in the fall, unless ice or artificial
cooling is used. Some modification of
the plan is adopted by all large apple
growers, usually in connection with
their packing plants.
The dugout mentioned above. if prop
erly constructed and attended to when
in use, is q cheap and successful method
of storing small quantities of apples. It
is made by digging into side hill SO that
only the entrance end is out of the
ground Sometimes the walls are stoned
up, sometimes eemented, rough board
ed on study, or left bare. Rough beams
are laid across, upon which boards on
brush are put and dirt shoveled on. Or
the cave may be arched with brick,
stone or cement.
The dugout should be well ventilated.
For this purpose there should be slid
ing door and large f1ue extending up
through the roof at the opposite end.
Put a valve III this fue and open it and
the sash on cool nights in the fall, clos
ing them when warmer. Adjust winter
ventilation to the temperature and dan
ger of freezing.
By increasing the size and com Iexity
Of the dugout, and adding more appIi-
anees for ventilation. We have what IS
called hillside storage. Fig. I shows
cross section plan OF such a storage
house. 1t is to be placed so the long
way is parallel with the hill, to save
labor in excavating. The height may be
six feet in the clear or more, if desired.
Cedar posts are set at the sides, with a
shoulder cut at the top to receive the
30 joists, which are spiked to them.
The matched sheathing inside and the
boards or plank above hold the frame
firm. The ceiling will last longer and the
cellar be of more even temperature il
the spaces between the posts and the
Joists are filled with saWdust.
Cold fresh air is supplied by row of
tile inlets on the doWnhfll side and the
warm air removed by arrow Of ventilat-
Ing hues on the opposite side. II the in
takes can be connected with larger
one which extends several feet unde.

Frozen Milk in Denmark.

The milk supply of Copenhagen,
Denmark, is shipped to the city in a
frozen condition. 1t is filtered as it
comes from the farmers, then pasteur-
lied to 185 degrees, then cooled and
frozen by the brine process. It is
shipped to the city by train in insulat-
ed chambers. On arrival it is stored
in cases, and thawed out as needed. Il
is declared the taste, flavor and other
qualities are uHimpaired, and that the
milk SO treated can be kept sweet and
fresh for any reasonable time.-Amer-

GENERAL STRIKE OF MINERS EN-.

Tamaqua, Pa, June "A meeting
Of the three anthracite district boards
has been called for Monday for the
purpose of inaugurating general

claim that the Lehigh Coal and Navi-

The company, however, contends that
it has the right to employ or dis
charge whoever it pleases. On the
