French Painter Hoarded Wealth.

Concerning the late Jean Jacques
Henner a curious legend was current
in France. He was as fond of money
as his English colleague Turner. and
his great popularity enabled him to
make 100000 year. Of this he eyi'
IDENTIFY did not spend the twentieth
part. According to popular belief. he
was saving the rest for the purpose OF
some day buying back Alsace and Lor-
raine from Germany. He was an AL
satan. and after the war he estab-
lished his fame by painting the heads
of Alsatian girls, which had a large
sale.

Prepara,ion Of Orchard Soil.

If an orchard is put out right, the
soil will be prepared for 1t
several years in advance. II
the soil is what is known as
virgin soil It is always a mistake
to dig holes in virgin soil. and plant
trees therein. Ground for orchards
should be plowed for one or two years
and crops grown on it that need cult
walton. Such crops as corn, potatoes,
and garden produce are especially wei.
ADAPTED to fit the land for orcharding
The points to be borne in mind are
to get the soil stirred deeply, have it
thoroughly pulverized and supplied
with plant food.

Drinking Places in the Cow Pasture

Drinking Places in the Cow Pasture.
Cows are animals that seem to pre-
fer dirty water to clean. The COW is
the only farm animal that will drink
warm water from mud puddles in
preference to cool water from water.
ing troughs. 1t is therefore necessary,
If we desire the COW to drink pure
water, TO deprive her OF sources of
supply of impure water. The obnox-
ious weeds that surround the drink
ing places in the COW pastures are
frequently the source of taints in
milk, especially when such weeds in
clude garlic and wild onions. The
elimination of these polluted drinking
places in the pastures will to a very
large extent take away from the COW
the inducement to sample these OBJ
noXious weeds. 1t is always desir-
able to give the COW only pure water,
as in many cases the stagnant water
in the pastures is a source of contain
iEation to the milk supply. Here and
there are cases Of striuginess or ropi-
ness in milk. On Investigation 1t has
been found that this abnormal condi-
ton OF the milk was produced by mi.
mute fungi, which were found to thrive
in stagnant pools. Some scientists
say that the spores of the fungi pass
through the cow and into the milk
ducts. while others declare that the
udders of the cow come into contact
with the stagnant pools and that from
the outside Of these udders the spores
fall Into the milk pals when the milk
is being drawn. BY whichever way
the spores reached the milk is of no
particular interest, As the stagnant
water was the source of contamina,
tion in either case, the prevention of
such accidents requires the elimina-
ton in the pastures of all such drink
ing places.-Elmer Ashton. bureau

Keeping Milk in Hot Weather

/
The problem of keeping milk during
the heated term is very much greater
than that of keeping milk at any other
time of the year. All bacterial life
thrlves and the laws of bacterial life
have provided for enormous increase
OF bacteria in very short time under
| summer temperatures. Conditions
that would permit milk to remain
sweet for "a hours in the winter time
VIII result in milk turning sour in L.
hourS in the summer time. In the
winter time a poorly washed can
would infect the milk and result in
time IN souring it. The multiplication
OF the germs would be very slow, how
ever, and most of the milk would be
used up before it had had time to
sour. In the summer it is necessary
that excessive care be taken in the
washing of the milk vessels, They
should be first washed and rinsed in
coid water, which washing Will re-
move most of the CaCein from the
sides of the vessels. If hot water is
used first it will result in coagulating
the casein, and the latter will stick to
the sides and seams. AT ordinary
temperatures il is the butter fat thnt
STICKS to the sides. Therefore II Is
reasonable, after the casein has been
rlnsed out. to detach the fat by the
use OF boiling water. In cases where
Inc vessels of tin are not new. soda
should be used in each can, as this

should be made certain that the water
Is boiling hot and that il remains long
enough in the cans to destroy all germ
lie. This may he assured by cover
ing the cans, as by this means the
heat Will be retained for long time.
Merely pouring hot water into the
cans and pouring it out again will
generally remove the traces of butter
Fat, but will not necessarily destroy
all germ life. After the hot water
has been poured from the cans. they
should be again rinsed in cold water
and then summed This summing is
very important, and is made much of
by the condensing companies, They
prescribe rules that must be followed
by the men that supply them with
milk, and one of these rules is that
in summer time these cans must be
exposed for hours to the penetrating
rays of the sun. If one will. in hot
weather. go through a dairy region

No Apple Belt.

There is no such thing as

can be grown much more successfully
in some localities than others. But
generally speaking, apples can be
grown everywhere in the temperate
zones. The apple, above most fruits,
has a wide range of latitude, and is lit.

Thin the Branches of Shade Tree,


1t is a common mistake to permit
the branches of shade trees TO become
too thick. This is true whether they
be conifers or deciduous trees. In the
case Of conifers. like the spruce trees
and Cedars, the branches. being thick,
prevent the sun from reaching the in
most branches. which die. If one will
lie under some Of the thick-branchcd
spruce trees and look up, he Will see
Immediately surrounding the bowl OF
the tree only dead twigs, and these
sometimes extend several feet from
the trunk. Such trees are unsightly.
The trees would be just as beautiful If
the branches were kept thin, and
there would be only green from
the tips Of the limbs TO the trunk OF
the tree. Shade tends to thin out
branches. This Is natures means of
pruning when a deciduous tree, like
the maple. is allowed to form all the
branches it can, II invariably kills all
the grass below it. Where shade
trees are grown grass is generally
also wanted, and the owner of the tree
tries every known art to make grass
grow under the tree. The only way
TOR him to succeed is to keep the
branches of the trees thinned out suf
nciently to allow some light to get
through. This will not disfgure the
tree, and will save the grass. Thick
ness of branches does not add beauty
to a tree. for it is obvious that limbs
that cannot be seen do not increase
the beauty of a tree, yet they prevent
the passage of sunshine. BY thinning
out the inside branches the beauty OF
the tree can be saved and the grass

SELECTING THEIR CAPTAINS.
Choice Of the High School Foot Ball
Squads.

The high school foot ball squads have be-
gun selecting their captains for next year.
Emery Hodgson. the big Western guard.
has been chosen to guide the destiny OF the
Red and White, nd for an all around good
player the boys OF the school on the heights
could hardly have made a better selection.
During the contests which have been en-
gagged In this fall by the RED and White
Hodgson has shown his ability as a player,
and his selection as captain seems to be
wise move on the part OF Western. Busi-
ness High School has chosen Powell for
the next years leader and has done well
in the selection. When the new school
building is completed 1t can be taken as
sure thing that tho team OF the Orange and
Blue will make rapid strides in the Develop
ment Of the foot ball team More students
will try to make the team, and with the In
creased attendance 1t Il more than prob
able that Capt. Powell will have little trou-
BILE in getting together an eleven that will
be winner. This season Capt. Bowles
has done well In all Of his work with the
possible extent. He has been the fastest
player in the aggregation, and his tackles
have shown his ability as q player In that
direction. He enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing made the only score made by Business
this season, that In the game with Eastern

skin on the twenty-yard line following the
kickoff and Bow1es, who was playing
lightning game seized the ball and ran
over the line for touchdown before the
astonished Fasteners had recovered from
the shock Of seeing a Business player
crossing their goal line.
At Technical the word OF Coach Hecox Is
the law and the captain is not chosen until
the beginning OF the season, when he Is
named by the coach of the Dark Red and
White.
At Central Mcdonald will again lead the
team. and II the others do not watch out
the Blue and White will be one Of the lead
ers next year. The choosing Of the captain
for next year at Central will probably take
place at the annual foot ball dinner next
week.
Al Eastern High School Farmer. the half
