Here is the latest from the pen of
that famous Parkhurst correspondent:
One day last week had some business
to transact in back settlement. and
while there I stopped at a farm house
for dinner. When we came to the
table | noticed pOrcupne skin spread
in the center Of it. Ny curiosity was
intense, bat I asked no questions for
fear of showing my ignorance. After
we had finished the meal l saw
Arminta Isabella. Josephus Orange
blossom, and Adolphus Moriing-glory
each take quill from the hide and be-
gin to pick their teeth. l then re-
market that they had a novel tooth
nick. holder, "YaaS." said mine host,
teeth picks comes so high that it pears
as though they get $1,000 fur cord OF
wood. We ketch a quill pig once in
while The meat makes us good
meal. we git bounty on the snoot AMI
when the quilts are al gene We cut the
and the baby don't use many picks cos
we hain't got any teeth. but l like to
see the youngsters hev style,-lemme

Another batch of standards of purity
for food products will soon be pro-
claimed by, the secretary Of agriculture.
The work of investigs ton and determi-
nation of what constitutes purity and
adulteration in such products is being
conducted by a committee representing
the association of official agricultural
chemists of the United States. The
secretary Of the committee is Chief
Chemist Wiley Of. the Department or
Agriculture. The committee mas
found the work so extensive that with
nearly two years constant toll
standards have been established for
only comparatively few articles. ana
two or three wears more will probably
be required to complete the. test.
The first result of their labors WAS
made known last winter. when stdho,
ards were proclaimed for meats anu
their products. milk and its produces,
sugar and it's products and spices anu
condiments.
The articles upon which STANDARDS
have been agreed are meat ex'r1
ice cream. grain products. fruits 81.
