large scale. The ordinary big green
cucumber pickles are usually quite
free from cider vinegar. The only way
to make them edible is to soak the
pickles in strong brine, to extract the
acid, then to soak them in water to
get out the brine, and finally pickle
them in real vinegar.
Pure vinegar can be made as well
from other fruits as from apples.
Grapes, plums, and other fruits which
contain a considerable proportion of
sugar, which is converted into alcohol
and then into acetic acid, make good
vinegar.
The Department of Agriculture has
in press a short bulletin on vinegars,
which can be had upon application to
members of Congress. 1t is known as
Farmers Bulletin No. 233 and is com
piled from the work of the various
agricultural experiment stations on
this subject.

Major Alvord found it impossible to

methods of cheese-making and the re-

In order to learn the bottom facts
about making any of the famous spe-

Making Dairy Work Popular.
Americans find novelty in Europe in
the fairs" and markets" where prod
ucts of the dairy are sold to the highest
bidder. In Normandy the wives and
daughters Of farmers and peasants as
semble by the hundred in the parks or
along the streets, selling their
"mottes" of butter. The cheese fairs
of Frome, England, and Kilmarnock,
Scotland, and the street markets of
Alkmaar, Hoorn, and Utrecht, Holland,
also present lively and interesting
spectacles in connection with the sale
of dairy products.
Major Alvord's observations show
that while too much can not be said
of the industry, frugality and thrift of
Europe's dairymen, a close comparison
leads one to feel that the conditions of
the industry in the United States are
decidedly more satisfactory in almost
every particular.

stereotyped answer:-"My father did
So"
The American farmer, Major Alvord
thought, has undoubtedly much more
intelligent knowledge of the principles
of feeding, but there is probably more
carelessness and waste in feeding ami
mails of all kinds in America than any
where else in the world.
The most astonishing feature Of Eu-
rope in the care of milk on the farm is
the entire absence of refrigeration in
France, and the general ignoring of
the value of cold in dairying. In the
matter Of dairy appliances and equip
ment, the United States is surpassed
by no other country, although Den
mark and parts of Great Britain stand
about as well.
In most big cities of Europe there
are few well-conducted milk delivery
establishments, such as are usually
found in our smallest cities, while in
some localities dairy animals are
driven through the streets and MIXED
at customers doors. Mich cows are
managed in the same way even in the
| best streets of Paris and of Rome.
Paris probably has the poorest milk
service of any of the large cities. Dur
| ing the Exposition at Paris in July,
1900, a special show of perishable dairy
products was held as an annex to that
exposition.
Paris Mink Exhibit Very Poos.
While the French producers had
every opportunity of exhibiting their
goods in the best possible shape, the
only samples Of natural milk and
cream, absolutely free from chemical
preservatives and uncooked, which
were sweet and palatable after noon
of the exhibition day, were from the
diaries in New York and New Jersey,
then eighteen days from the COW! The
American products had been preserved
solely by cleanliness and cold. Major
Alvord made the statement on his re-
turn from Europe that no milk-supply
company in Europe could duplicate this
performance.

for the purpose of looking into the
dairy industry of the continent.
Major Alvord stated first, upon his
return home, that while the United
States has never evolved a strictly
dairy COW of its own, it has now moth
ing to gain through the importation
of new blood from Great Britain, the
Channel Islands, the Netherlands, Den
mark or France. There are many pic
tGresque and useful breeds of milch
cattle in these countries but they do
not compare, he stated, with the adapt
ed American breeds. For instance,

Brittany, in the north of France, has
within it's borders pretty, active little
black-and-white cattle with marked
dairy characteristics, producing often
an astounding quantity of milk for
their size, but they are believed to be
useful in the United States only as
playthings.
American Cow Stables Up to Average
In the stabling and general care of
dairy cows no foreign country shows,
in general practice, any methods or
conditions better than our own. While
the average conditions throughout the
country are undoubtedly far from
what they should be, the United States

conditions do exist abroad-where the
COW is taken in as a member of the
family-as they do in no place in the
United States, but they are the excep-
ton. Stables which in summer are
converted into Conservatives and
rooms for weaving and cheese curing
are the unusual and show. places. The
construction of COW stables generally in
the dairy countries of the Old World
is of a substantial nature, with little
regard paid to light and ventilation.

SAVING THE FARM MANURE.

One of the first economic principles
Of successful farming is to save all avail
BILE fertilizers. A large amount Of
valuable fertilizer is wasted each year
by our farmers, through ignorance. neg
lect. or a Willful disregard Of economic
principles.
Horse manure, perhaps. is the worst
manure we have to handle successfully.
Rich in ammonia, it easily becomes
worthless by FIRE fauging. To prevent
this, is farmers duty to his farm and
pocketbook.
Too many farmers throw the horse
manure out in heap and let it smoke
and burn like a miniature volcano, de-
stroying available fertilizing ingredi-
ents, and incidentally good dollars
There are many remedies TO obviate
his waste; perhaps the most common
being to turn the hogs on to the ma
nure.
While this is an excellent plan for
the manure aud the hogs, | have one
that has many distinct advantages. Ny
horse stable joins the COW barn and it is
convenient for me to throw the horse
manure in the gutter every night, be-
hind the cows. The urine from the
cows is thus absorbed by the horse ma
nure and saved, and the COWS are kept
clean.
When possible, manure should be
covered by sheds, or in cellars with
concrete bottoms. All liquid manures
contain more valuable properties than
the solid, and should be carefully saved
Many farmers are careless about scrap
ing up and saving the barnyard drop
pings. This is grave mistake While
not as valuable as the stored manure,
these scrapings are far too valuable to
waste. Their value can be enhanced
by their being gathered frequently.
This will keep the yard clean all the
lime.
Wood ashes are invaluable and should
carefully saved Frequently they
be bought in nearby villages very
deaply.
The hog is ready-made manure
maker when given chance Dig up
plenty of muck. dry it and keep it on
hand to putin the pen. You will be
astonished to see how many loads Of
manure hog will make in this way in
one season. Hen droppings are very
valuable and strong in all fertilzing
qualities and should be carefully saved.
| clean the drOppings in my hen house
into barrels and store until wanted.
The value of all manures is increased
by handling frequently. thus reducing
them to fine condition. In this form
they readily sssimilate with the soil,
and are absorbed more quickly by plants
than when in lumpy insoluble state.
All the straw should be retained on the
farm. Though not particularly rich in
itself, il is an excellent absorbe ut, saw
ing quantities Of liquid manure which
would otherwise be lost Leaves make
fine manure when used as a litter They
are q good absorbent. being rich in
vegetable matter, valuable food for
all plaLt life
One Of the best pieces of grass ever
saw was grown BY liberal application
Of liquid slush from a hole in a barn
yard. It was drawn on the grass ground
in half hogshead. on drag and bailed
out in pals on to the ground If farm
ers would learn to better appreciate the
value of manure and take careful meas.
ures to save it. the problem of success.

solved N Cotton, in American Ag-

David II. Moffat returned from the

but elated over the fact that he has
been able to finance the Denver, North

ner quite satisfactory to himself. He
went directly TO the Denver Club.
where, after a brief rest, he prepared
the following statement:
Il have made such satisfactory ar
rangements in the East as will enable
me to go ON with the Denver, North

inally contemplated.
My associates in the East are not
connected with any of the trunk line
railroads, so the stories heretofore
published that the Union Pacific, the

had purchased the Denver, Northwest

ROCKEFELLER'S GIFT
OPPOSED BY MANY cLERGYMEN
Oil MonopoIist's Gift to Foreign Mis-
sions Awakens Many Earn
est Protests.

Boston, March 31-Despite the fac,
that the prudential committee of the
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions has practically de-
cided to accept the gift Of 100000
from John d. Rockefeller to further
the work of the board, committee
representing the Congregational cler-
gymen of Boston and vicinity who are
opposed to the acceptance of the gift
met yesterday and decided to continue
the protest.
1t was agreed by the members of
the committee that a wide expression
of opinion on the question was dssir-
able, and for this purpose a commit
tee was appointed to submit the facts
and documents in the matter to the
Congregational ministers of the coun-
try.
The prudential committee will not
take final action on the acceptance of
Mr.. Rockefellers gift for two weeks,
and it is the intention of the protest
ing committee to learn, if possible, the
general feeling among the clergymen
of the denomination.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN. of Colum-
bus. Ohio, and President Tucker of
Dartmouth College were in communi-
cation with the committee by tele
gram and letter. PreSldenJ Hucker
wrote in part:
"As regards the general position
taken by the defenders of the action
of the prudential committee in accept
ing Mr.. Rockefellers gift, that a mis-
sionary organization has no right to
discriminate in regard to the money
received lest it passed unwarranted
judgment upon the business methods
of the donor, take issue at once. The
acceptance by the American Board of
a gift from this source, under the
present conditions, must mean one of
two things-either the board believes
that the business methods involved
are correct or that they are a matter
of moral Indifference so far as the
reception of the money is concerned
For one, do not like to see the Ameri-
can Board take either one Of these
positions. Such action hurts the con-
science of the coming generation more
than that of the generation which is
passing. II is not an incentive to mis-
sionary zeal. No organization set to
the high and lasting ends of Christian
service can allow itself to be thought
Indifferent to the moral issues of the
day whenever these issues are neces
sarily affected by its action"
