Butter And Cheese

Within the. last few years the custom Of
coatiuc the ehc,sr with an imperious
laycr has been suggested, with the object
MANLY Of preventing the development Of
mold For this purps-c Paraihu has been
found to be ihe most suitable agent. The
application Of such layer to the cheese
nog only prevents the growth Of mold
spares by excluding the ait, hat materially
rrsar,ls the rate At which the cheese loses
1t moisture. ParafFncd cheese, therefore,
dries ou, much more slowly than the un-
treated product, and the application Of
this method Is Of particular service in the
handling of the smaller type> Of eheeses,
which have relatively larger superficial
area exposed to the air By covering the
cheese wi,h paratFn the total loss Of mois-
ture ran be- reduced several pounds per
hundred In comparative tests eheeses
covered with parafaB were entirely clear,
while the others were more ur less heavily
seated with mold
THE HEST KEEPING BUTTER
The conclusion from recent experiments

sioa IL the national department of agricul-
turc Is that light saiting and low tetnpera-
turcs aud the use ot cream received at the
creamery in 4 sweet condition give much
the best results for storage butter. Other
points Of interest are that butter IN full cans
and tubs at the lower temperatures scored

Big Horses Sell Best.

The call is for biz horses and plenty of
size is among the principal qualities sought
for in all classes of horses, be 1t hunter,
harness horse or cart horse. 1t is a trite
saying among horsemen that good big
horse will always beat good hatle one,
and it certainly holds good in 50 far as con-
Germs the market value of horses. The
fact of horse possessing plenty of size rem
ders it more readily salable, as well as more
valuable Two inches more or less n the
height of horse may make all the diff
ference to a breeder between profitable
sale. Mere height at the withers alone
dose not constitute what is really meant by
''size" - at any rate, not from the breed
err point of view Size means bigness
generally, height being combined with a
corresponding degree of substance; aud in
the case of cart horses, Of weight. When
a horse is merely tall, having plenty Ct
height at the withers, but lacks the requi-
site substance and bigness of build, being
unduly legy or weedy, it will not impress
a buyer favorably, but the reverse.

Won't Wed Till She can Vote.

Miss Ellington, the English suffragist,
who is suffering Imprisonment for creating
a disturbance in front of the house of Home
Secretary Asquith, is engaged to be mar
ried, but she refuses to be led to the altar
until her war cry of ''Votes for women
passes into law, so that the date of the
day is doubtful.
''People ignorant of her heroic self sac
rifee call her an amazon whose sole object
is to obtain notoriety, says Mrs. Rowe,
a prime mover in the cause.
They even 90 so far as to say she is
endeavoring to bring herself before the
public notice in order to obtain an offer of
marriage
This is cruel wicked lie. She has
been engaged for several years, and could
be married tomorrow if heliked, but until
universal suffrage becomes past history she
intends to devote all her time to the cause.
Miss Ellington, chief of the militant
woman Fighters who raised disturbance
in the house of commons gallery, led pro-
cession of suffragists to the house of Home
Secretary Asquith, in front of which they
"booed' and hissed until the police arrived
They refused to desist when ordered to do
so, and the police attempted to arrest Miss
Ellington. The other women formed
Gordon around her When the police
broke through the Gordon one of the officers
put his hand on Miss Ellington shoulder
She hit him in the face. The "bobby'
then grabbed her arms and she kicked him
in the shins until fellow officer rescued
him by seizing Miss Ellington by the threat.
She was then arrested and ''run in. In
curt she was given sentence of ESQ or
sixty days, She chose the Jail.
In the midst of the general Affections
the suiIragists are called in England, yet
rejoice.
The post brought letters expressing in
dignation at the sentence passed On Miss
Ellington, and offering to pay her fine.
Al these offers Miss Ellington refused
She is determined to be martyr.
Nothing will induce her to relent,
says Mrs Rowe, ''but the question Of her
imprisonment will be brought before the
house Of commons
We can produce scores Of witnesses to
proyeth Miss Ellington was herself struck
before ever she struck the policeman.
These people would have appeared as wit
neszes at the hearing but for a mistake by
which they went to Marlborough street in
stead ot Marylebone
\ true touch of feminity was shown by
Ms Rowe when asked if Miss Ellington 5
hair would I've cut on her imprisonment.
''Oh, no; surely not, she cried. 1t
would be wicked thing to do. She has
sach beautiful hair
Over the treatment Of the suiiagettes by
the press aud public at large Mrs. Hewe
became very indignant. They call us
amazons and disreputable women who bring
shame and disgrace upon our sex They

the highest lady in the isnd, but sixty
ycars Of gentle methods have shown us

Assembled by Accident.

Carried aloft 5000 feet through the
stupidity of several men handling hot air
balloon. Miss Margaret Bailey, Of Middle
town. y. Y, descended in safety by
parachute. She east off from the trapeze
ON which she sat just when the balloon
showed signs of collapsing and touched the
ground two and half miles from the spot
whence the balloon had assembled. She
was found crying hysierically. She is now
in the home Of her parents in a highly ner
vOus state.
Though she is twenty, it was the first
time she had seen balloon She went
out to pleasure resort near the city in
the afternoon with half dozen girl friends
to view the balloon ascension and parachute
drop of Charles Kelly, professional aeronaut.
There were only few hundred persons in
the park. and Miss Baily and her friends
were in the frst row Of the small crowd
that listened to Kelly's short lecture ON the
details of his feat.
Twitted by friends on timidity, Miss
Baily asked Kelly if she might sit on the
tfIlNat. Alt NRtNNht1As aha ti u NV INV
ments the girl was seated on the trapeze,
with the balloon tug..ing at the restraining
rope. Miss Bailey seemed to enjoy her
position, and suddenly she cried, LET go,
Instantly the men 'lying back on the
rope released their hold. Realizing their
error, they leaped frantically but yaiuly to
catch the line again.
As the balloon rose straight up Kelly
shouted to the girl to use the parachute
s.Wait and pull the cord, he cried in dis
may, while the onlookers stood silent in
horror. Miss Bailey did not utter sound
She was seen to clasp both hands on the
thin cord supporting one end of the trapeze.
The wind bore the balloon toward the
south The atmosphere was clear, and
the slightest movement of the girl could be
seen distinctly. Kelly estimated that the
balloon went up fully 3, 900 feet. When
it stopped ascending and seemed to be sus-
pended Kelly was almost insane with de
spair.
He jumped up and down in his excite
ment and shouted for the girl to drop with
the parachute lest she meet death in the
collapSe of the balloon. The warning did
not reach the girl, but she acted on her
initiative. When brought to her home
she said she had tried to think what was
best to do and that when she looked up and
saw the balloon shrinking she decided to
drop with the parachute.
She came down like a stone for about
hundred feet, with her skirts blown out like
an umbrella. Then the parachute opened,
and she hoated downward slowly. When
it appeared she would descend in safety
the crowd in the park cheered enthusiast
cally.
She landed in cornfeld, and the first
to reach her was farmer. She was taken
home in carriage. Her mother was at
the door, Mrs Bailey had not heard of
the affair, and she was bewildered when
her daughter flung her arms around her
neck and sobbed, ~ never want to see a
balloon again, mother

COOLING MILK.
To Keep It Sweet From Saturday
Night to Monday Morning.

Where milk is not taken to the creamery
or cheese factery on Sunday to keep it on
the farm from Saturday night to Monday
morning in warm weather 50 as to have it
sweet when it finally reaches the factory IS
a difficult problem, but an important one,
especially if the milk Is intended for cheese
making Apropos Of this difficulty the
following instructions of a Canadian diary
expert are reproduced from the Ottawa
Journal:
The only cooling agents to be had by
the farmer are ice and cold water, aud
every intelligent dairy farmer who wants to
send sweet milk on Monday morning
should have Il supply of ice and know how
to use it, The quickest way to cool milk
is to have it flow in thin layers over a cold
surface, but this is generally not practical
To a farmer.
PRACTICAL METHOD.
The methed | advise to patrons in my
district is as follows: \ tank or trough of
some kind is required to hold cold water,
aud in this water the cans containing the
milk are placed Each pailful as it is
drawn from the COW i strained into these
cans. which should not be too large. BY
the time all the milking is done the milk
will be fairly cool, but the water will have
become warmed and will have to be run off
and more culd water put on in its place.
This should put the temperature down to
- degrees, but rcucw the water as often
a. necessary Al the work then required
is To stir the milk occasionally in order to
insure a uniform temperature throughout.
If you have Ice to pat in the water You can
s,-. how much better it will be and how
much labor it will save YOU.
AFTER COOLING.
When the milk j. cooled cover the cans
with a clean. wet blanket, one end Of which
i left iu water and, acting as a wick, aids
in maintaining the cool temperature and
also prevents the cream from drying. If
sou have a wen ar a spring to sei the cans
in they wil answer the purpose well, but
be sure To stir the milk at intervals while
il i cooling. - that the center viii not re-
main warm and the outer parts only he
cooled
Again. lc, me say e,,ol the milk Just rs
saou as possible after drawing 1t from the
cow 10 below - DEGREES, keep 1t there

To Prevent Wrecks.

The recent English railway wreck really
emphasizes the fact that disasters of that
sort are uncommon not only in Great Bri-
tain, but on the Continent as we'll
What can be done, asks railway engi-
neer, writing to the Iron Trail, to avert
these horrors in this country and to make
travel as safe here as it is in other countries
where fast time is made?
Some say we must have better men.
No better men ever handle engines or
trains than we have in America. The
trouble is, the best men are often dis
charged for some trivial matter and newer,
younger, less experienced men take the
places of these elder ones, and the chain
is weakened in just so many more places.
Some say give us better equipment
The American engines and ears lead the
world; there are none better.
Others say the train order system is
wroDg-that it is very weak
Under the present method of operating
single track roads it is hard to get better
system. 1t has its faults, to be sure, but
thO NiuDS duu lidlD TillcS
committees are ever endeavoring to make
the system more perfect.
Some say, give the men shorter hours
on the road.
Those who speak thus strike close to the
mark-tor many, many times do these
wrecks occur because the overworked brain
Of the man on the road or in the Office
responds no longer clearly and safely.
There are those who say, Give us safe
and sure interlocking system of signals
give US block system.
This is another vital question There
are these facts, though, in connection with
this question which might help one in
studying the needs of a block system:
If the great railroad companies would
stop for one year the great expenditures
on Strengthening tracks and lowering
grades, with view toward greater earn
iug capacity of freight trains, and for
year put the amount they would have ex-
pended on roadways into installing a safe
block system, great gain toward safety
would have been made The whole cry
is, greater dividends not safety to the
travelling public Each year millions go
into fills and cuts, into new bridges,
into new stations, but never cent into
block systems.
Ii is true though that some roads are do
ing things along this line. They will in
time be the popular routes of travel.
There are two other very important
things needed in connection with safe trav-
cling, whether the block system is installed
or not, and they are;
First, cut down the monster tonnage
trains so they win be safe to handle
Secondly, by all means cut down the
hours of those who have to handle those
heavy trains, 50 they will nave less time
on the road and more in which to rest.
1t is one thing To tell man he should not
20 ont if he is sure he has not had rest
enough but if he refuses and is laid off
for time with his wages suspended-weii,
that is, another thing. A second offense
would mean dismissal. Then when he
would apply for position on some other
road he would be turned down for insub-
ordination for having refused TO go out
when he was positive in his own mind that
be was in no condition to accept the re-
sponsibilities of another trip without more

Minister Harvester Eats on 13c a
Day.

The Rev. Jacob Kurtz, the New York
''housetop Evangelist, has returned to
Waynesboro, Pa, from Shady Grove,
where he spent week in the harvest field
and lived during that time at a cost of not
more than thirteen and one-quarter cents
day. He bound behind cradles, shocked
and raked wheat and kept up with all
other harvesters.
Here is his bill of fare daily:
Milk (skimmed One pint each meal;
cost per day, ! cent.
Bread-Three slices stale bread, each
half an inch thick, each meal; cost per
day, 2 cents.
Coffee Half-cup each meal cost per
day, II cents.
Jelly-Two tablespoonfuls each meal;
cost cent.
This makes a total of 61 cents a day,
and the Rev, Mr.. Kurtz says it covered
all the necessities
He, however, ate few more things
because they were forced upon him. For
instance, he ate two eggs each meal at some
places, The cost of this farm price, was
cents day. Occasionally he eat piece
of pie worth l cent. But, he says, he
did not need any of these Injuries, so the
outside cost of his food remains at 134 cts.

Tall, Fair Girl in Robber Band.

Including as one of its active members
a young woman who is described as tall,
fair and Of striking appearance, a robber
band broke into the station of the Long
Island railroad at Farmingdale, N. Y,
blew open the safe, getting booty of about
S400 in cash and large quantity Of rail
road tickets, and escaped in wagon
through thestreet of the town amid a fusi-
lade of bullets.
Residents of the town had noticed two
strange men and woman hanging about
the station as if waiting for train Lit
tie attention was paid to their actions at
time, but, in view of the robbery later,
their presence in the neighborhood of the
station is now regarded as suspicious, and
it is believed they were there for the pur-
pose of getting the lay of the land.
The robbers had a horse and wagon
concealed somewhere near the scene of the
robbery, and after they had forced their
way into the station and blown the safe
open with heavy charge of dynamite they
bolted for the vehicle and, jumping in, put

speed The blowing open of the big iron
box shook the houses in the vicinity and
made so great a noise that many persons
were awaked from sound sleep and rushed
in alarm to the windows to learn the cause
of the trouble.
Several men living near by saw the ma
rauders rushing through the darkness, and,
getting the revolvers, opened lively fire
in their direction just as they gained the
wagon, and, lashing the horses, began
their wild flight for safely.
The band is supposed to be the same
one that within the last few months has
broken into stations of the Long Island
railroad at Mineola, Roslyn, Locust Val
ley and Great Neck, and by following sim
liar tactics has secured in most instances
loot valued at several hundred dollars.

Reasonably Cool Storage.

In some localities it would not be found
practicable to harvest ice, but some cold
storage place should be provided. Water
from a spring can be conducted to the dairy
house and cement tanks arranged with
overflow, so that reasonably cold storage
can be provided for dairy products. In
some of the large dairies machinery is in
stalled for artificial cooling.
