A New Process Of Butter Making

A committee of the Franklin In
stitute of Philadelphia has just
made public its report on the Tay-
lor process for butter making. 1t
is recommended that Mr.. Taylor re-
ceive the John Scott Medal and
Premium in recognition of the
value of his invention. In this
new process sweet cream is poured
into shallow pans the bottoms of
which are covered with absorbent
pads. The pads arc composed of
heavy white blotting paper sup
ported on Turkish toweling, or
some similar material, and absorb
from the cream nearly all of its
constituents except the fat. The
cream fat remains as layer on the
surface of the pads and after sew
eral hours standing may be rolled
off. In this condition the product
contains rather too much water and

The antitrust law of Texas was
upheld February 81 by the Supreme
Court of the United States in de-
cision affirming the judgment of the
State courts in enjoining the Ma
tional Oil and the Southern Cotton
OIL Companies from doing further
business in the State, and forfeit
ing their charters for having vlo-
lated the differentiation statute.
Both companies claimed the law
was unconstitutional, since it
caused taking of their property
without due process of law. The
opinion of Justice McKenna today
said that the statute was proper
and within the Legitimate powers of
the Legislature.

THE FOOLISH BOY
Who Deceived his Teacher Re-
penis in After Years.

The boy who used to boast of
getting the best of his teacher has
been heard from. The same traits
OF character which tempted him to
deceive his teacher into believing
that he had solved his problems and
completed his tasks himself, led
him to cheat his employer, to idle
whenever bis back was turned, and
to clip his days work, until he
finally lost his position.
His lack of education-the result
of cheating his teacher-has proved
perpetual handicap, and has lost
him many a good situation. His
dishonesty which started in the
schoolroom has grown until nobody
will trust him and he has no credit
or standing in his community.
AS a boy, he thought himself very
clever in being able to dodge his
lessons and imposeupon his teacher;
but he realizes now that the person
cheated was himself. In those
precious days of youth he robbed
himself of pearls of great value,
which he will never be able to re-
cover.
The thief of time and opportu-
nifty often thinks he is enriching
himself, but he awakens one day to
the truth that he is poorer and
meaner for the theft Success.

Drink and Indigestion.

AS has been said, man requires a
certain amount of fluid, between two
and three pints daily. Sometimes
this is furnished by the food. All
food contains some water and
many of the vegetables are little be-
sides water. Most people do not
drink enough water. Much has
been said about the i'll effects of
taking too much water with meals.
The danger has been exaggerated.
Water promoted the tissue chan
ges in the human body; men are
like plants in needing a great deal
of water and to make up for the
waste which constantly goes on es-
pecially in working or in hot wealth
er inducing persplration. The
complexion and the whole skin is
improved by drinking water. Late
ly much has been said about the
free use of distilled water in pro-
noting health and preventing the
swelling of the joints from govt
and rheumatism both If which are
due to improper assimilation.
That there was ever e time when
tea and coffee were unknown seems
we'll nigh incredible. But such is
the case. and we doubt not it would
be just as well for the human race
if they had remained unknown.
Both retard disgestion, so the
experimenters say. Coffee acts upon
the heart, tea on the digestion
and nerves. Do not let your chill
dren use tea or coffee until they are
grown. Alcoholic drinks in mod
crate quantities aid digestion, and
in some respects are not as preni-
cious as tea and coffee, but il is a
great mistake to have them on the
table for daily use. If there is an
inherited tendency to alcoholism,
constant use will develop it, to the
sorrow and shame of those con-
cerned.-Health.

Not GuiIty-vOted on ALI Charges.

In the Senate February 81 the
vote on the impeachment trial of
Federal Judge Swayne, of Florida,
resulted in his acquittal on every
charge.
When the Senate met to begin
the vote, there was an unusually
large attendance of the members,
while the galleries were crowded.
Many members of the House were
present.
On the first article, which
charged Swayne with certifying
false claim for expenses, the vote
was: Guilty, 33; not guilty, 40.
The vote on the second and third
articles being similar charges; 32
guilty, 80 not guilty.
The fourth and fifth articles re-
lated to Swayne's use of the private
car Of the Jacksonville, Tampa &
Key West Railroad Company. The
vote resulted, guilty, ID; not
guilty, SO.
The sixth article charged Judge
Swayne with non-residence in the
district. Guilty, 81 not guilty, 81.
The seventh article was similar
to the sixth. Guilty, 10; not
guilty, SO.
The eighth article related TO the
contempt case of E. T. Davis.
Guilty, 81; not guilty, 81.
Article 10 related to the contempt
case of Simeon Belden, and the
vote was: Guilty, 81; not guilty 81
Article IL was similar to article
10, and the vote was the same.
The twelfth and last article was
the contempt case Of O'Eeai, and
the vote was: Guilty, 35; not
guilty, AZ.
This acquitted Judge Swayne of
all charges.

Spraying.

There are many elements of risk
in fruit growing. But the greatest
amount of damage is brought
about by insects and fungus dis
ease.
The greater part of these inju-
rles may be averted by spraying if
applied correctly, and at the righ'
time. 1t is perhaps useless to
urge people to spray their orchards
unless their own free will leads
them to do so. Spraying is use
less unless the application is made
right, and at the right time. AS
we all know the insects do not
search for the poison, therefore it
is necessary to spray thoroughly
and use common sense in the opera
ton. A well sprayed tree should
be wet all over so that all parts of
leaves and branches are covered.
The careful sprayer is the man
who gets the fruit. The time of
spraying must be determined for
each case. Paris green and Lon
don purple are used for chewing
insects, such as chew the foliage,
shoots and buds. OF this kind are
the Goblin. moth, bud-moth and
canker worm. Bordeaux mixture
is the all round remedy for fungus
disease. Copper-sulphate solution
prevents the attack of fungus on
potatoes, pear blight and leaf
blight.

Making Hens Lay.

In my experience to make hens
lay in winter they should be kept
busy. l do not believe in the old
fashioned idea of getting them too
fat to lay, but l do believe hens
should not be allowed to gather
about and sit still. This is the re-
suit when fed all they want or can
eat for breakfast. To prevent it
feed them very light feed of corn,
wheat and barley scattered about
in litter, so as not to be very no.
ticeable They at once begin pick
ing over the litter to find the grain
they like best and SO continue 10
scratch all the morning.

In looking over the farm and
prospects for crops, many farmers
find that their chances for hay are
very slim, so far as the coming sea-
son is concerned, and are formulat-
ing plans for substitute For
those who are short on meadows,
many supplemental hay crops of
the annual class are satisfactory
To sow timothy and clover, which
are perennials, will not relieve the
situation as regards this years
needs, so some annual crop must be
used. Sorghum, sown very thick,
makes excellent hay and Yields
enormously, so that only few acres
are required. Such crop is very
exhaustive, but the area being
small, may be renovated with ma
nure. Cow peas are fine for hay,
as is also the medium soy beans.
Another hay crop that is easily
handled and real good, is oats cut
before they color, and cured like
ordinary hay.

milk protcids on this account, and
because of the absence of salt, it
does not keep very well. If, how
ever, the separated butter fat be
worked and sailed in the same way
as the ordinary cburned product,
the result is a very fine grade of
butter.
The process has the advantage of
cheapness, since the pads may be
used over AND over again, lasting,
it is said, for six months of daily
use. The labor of churnlng is
avoided, and, on account of the use
of fresh cream instead of that
which has stood to ripen several
days, the finished product keeps
better than butter made in the or
binary way. The process has been
patented in the United States,
Canada, England, France, and Ger
many.-Inland Farmer.

PISTOLS AND DEATH.
Awful Record Of Homicides in
United States During the
Year 1904.

During the year 1904 nearly nine
thousand homicides occurred in
the United States. In number and
ferocity Of personal combats in the
shedding of human blood, this
country leads all civilized nations.
Apparently, human life is the
cheapest of all commodities.
Discussing these appallingly
bloody figures, a writer who claims
to have examined the statistics,
says; "The great majority of the
homicides Of the United States.
probably more than three fourths
of them, are due to the presence of
the ever-ready pistol. A man
places loaded pistol in his pocket
as he leaves his home in the morn
ing. He becomes involved in slight
personal trouble and his thoughts
and his hands Fly to his weapon.
One life is frequently ended, and il
the other man has a pistol, not in
frequently, two. Over seven thous-
and men, many.of them useful citi-
Gems, ali OF them with lives that
could have been made valuable to
themselves or to others, have fallen
before the pistol in this land of
ours during the past twelve months.
And yet we call ourselves civil
lied"
The singing truth of this accu-
sation cannot be denied. Especial.
ly is it applicable TO every section
where the pistokcarrying habit is
rampant. In Kentucky the punish.
ment for carrying a pistol is a
heavy fine and Imprisonment. hnt
the law is as dead on the statute
book as is julius Caesar in his cof-
fin. 1t is not probable that any
Kentuckian of respectability mas
gone to Jail for carrying pistol in
ten years, and yet the imprison-
ment penalty is provision of the
concealed deadly weapon law that
cannot be evaded under any real
enforcement of the statute. Com
bined with whiskey, the pistol is
the deadliest enemy of true man
hood, and is an incalculable curse
to Kentucky. Homicides and pis-
tolls go hand in hand-twin broth
ers in their work of blood and
death.
And public sentiment that does
not condemn blood-shed as it
should nor uphold the law against
the carrying Of concealed deadly
weapons at all, is largely RESPONSE.

BIG OUTDOOR DINNER.

The feature of the reunion will be
dinner held on the lawn at Gratz
Park. Four prominent men will
make addresses, among whom will
be Rev. f. L. Powell, of Louisville.
~ Arrangements will also be made
for the entertainment of visitors.
Hundreds will be entertained as
guests in the various homes of the
city. while others will be taken care
of at the hotels.
No definite arrangement has yet
been made as to details of this great
undertaking, but it is the plan to
have compact and complete work
ing organization. The presence
here of three thousand former stu
dents will be of untold value to
Lexington and the day will be an
important one in the history of
Kentucky University, as well as
that of the city itself, as the old
students to be thus brought together
are men of distinction, occupying
positions of trust, honor and infu-
ence in every walk of life, profess
sional and private.
1t is the desire of the organiza-
fiop to see the names of old students
Ihe college in every State and
country where they are known to
be scattered, and those whose mem
DRY serves them correctly enough to

requested to communicate them.

be pleased to receive and take
charge Of such communications.

beans, all cultivated and wild peas
and beans it includes also trees,
such as the locust and yellow
wood.
1t is technical term and like all
snch expressions helps 10 abbreYi-
ate speech and to make it more con
else and forceful. Farmers do not
use such technical terms pertaining
to their BUSINESS, as freely as they
ought. There is no reason why
they should not make use of them
as the engineer, the mechanic, the
doctor and the artist apply them to
their respective businesses.
So. let us use the word legume,
as describing IN one word all the
plants belonging to the legumino
sac family of plants. In the Bible
they are called the "pulse" family.
1t is good word to know anyway,
as it is representative of a group of
plants which are necessary and
fundamental in farming. The le-
gumes build up our soil and feed
our stock. They are at the foun-
dation of all successful farming.
They are plants which nature has
endowed with great mission. Let
us accord them high place in our
farming, in our thoughts and in
our speech. Inland Farmer.
