A small barn belonging to Mrs.
O'Neal in the east part of town and
rented by E. B. Skulley was discover
ed to be on fire about 6 o'clock last
Monday evening. 1t had started in
one of the stalls and the flames had
reached the hay loft but vigorous
work with few buckets of water put
out the fire with but small loss. 1t is
supposed to have been set on fire by
Dad Herring's little boy, as he was
seen about the barn just before the
fire was discovered and is known to
have had his pocket full of matches.

some vinegar on your food is to try and
get half lemon. Then you will know

injurious, being purchased by the re-

cents gallon, which every apple grow
er knows is a prohibitive price for
cider vinegar However, real cider
vinegar is a good continent. The rea-
son it can not be sold for the prices at
which chemical vinegar is offered is
that it takes from one to three years
to make properly.
The cider first must go through the
process of Adjudication, and then be
changed into acetic acid. There are

which the United States can possibly
learn anything is Denmark. There the
best creameries are models of cleanli-

turning out a quantity Of butter which

a man and a boy who have all the work

Major Alvord found it impossible to
draw any comparisons between the
methods of cheese-making and the re-
suits in this country and those abroad.
1t is believed that the American fac
tory system, common to the United
States and Canada, is superior TO any
thing elsewhere. In variety and fancy
cheese this continent can not yet at

We often hear of the model diaries
of Europe, cooperative dairies into
which a speck of dirt is never allowed
to lodge, of Danish butter that is in
truth a dream and brings fabulous
price, of eggs guaranteed fresh and
Countrywide, and other reports of the
way they do things on the fine old
farms of Europe until one begins to
think that one can not be morea than
half living in this country. But how
much of this sort of thing will bear
investigation and close analysis?
The Dairy Division of the United
Safes Department of Agriculture is a
progressive and useful institution and
has done several things to destroy
prevailing fallacies and incidentally
establish the fact that American meth
DDS as a whole, in ct least some phases
oflagriculture, are as far if not farther
advanced than those of any other coun-
try. -
Not the least interesting of such in
formation gathered was that collected
by the late Henry E. Alvord, for many
years the chief of the Dairy Division,
in, a tour of the countries of Europe

large scale. The ordinary big greer
cucumber pickles are usually quite
free from cider vinegar. The only way
to make them edible is to soak tnt
pickles in strong brine, to extract the
acid, then to soak them in water t.
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, piums, and other fruits which
contain a considerable proportion OF
sugar, which is converted into alcohol
and then into acetic acid, make good

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.

I tempt to compete with the Old World.
In order to learn the bottom facts
about making any of the famous spe-
cialties in cheese, it is necessary to go
to the locality where they originate,
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
NOTES" 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 Alyord'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.

SELLING MILK IN DENMARK

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
turesque and useful breeds of milch
cattle in these countries but they do
not compare, he stated, with the adapt
ed American breeds. For instance,

within its 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
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1905-11-03

conditions do exist abroad-where the
COW is taken in as 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

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 MIX Exhibit Very Poor.
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 Govt 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.
