cattle which have just been held III Scot
land questions of color have been com-
ing under discussion as if they never had
had a serious reviewing and arguments
for and against certain shades are pulled
up every now and then BY & What do the
foreigners say Galloway men can
scarcely be said to have color question
except on special occasions when some
one with a fondness for what is not all
ways on the card wonders whether the
southwestern cattle, like the Aberdeen
Angus, are in danger of becoming too
black. However, experts say that if
Galloway men as a body were as wise
as a select few they would persistently
aim at the preservation of that soft
touch Of brown in the hair which by

RAILROAD NOTES.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: General
Passenger Agent IN. RI Galloway yester-
day announced that early next month the

fiat rate of = cents, good for aIl points
of the system in Minnesota. Verbal no.
tice of the new proposition was given
to the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission yesterday. and the action will be
filed in proper form within a few days.
The action of the 500 line is the result
5of a request made by the United Com

commission about two months ago and a
conference between a committee of the
travelling men and the passenger officials
was held The travelling men asked that
they be given the same rates on the three
northern lines as granted by the West
ern Passenger association, and also be
granted a mileage book that would be
good on all the lines. They complained
that four books are a great bother to
carry around, and they also objected that
they are compelled to invest large
sum of money with all the roads.

4 GOOD POTATO.

Most people, suppose, take il for
granted that the best potatoes are the
ones that contain the most starch says
a writer in the April Garden Magazine.
On the contrary, it is the ones that
contain the most gluten, because glu-
ten is an albuminous food, and starch
is much cheaper than albumen. ID
Now cut a potato open and look al
the sections and we shall learn some
thing worth knowing about this gluten.
First comes the skin Of the potato.
In a new potato it is thin and clear:
while corky skin indicates ma
ture potato, and one more likely TO be
mealy.
E Second 81 4 thin layer varying from
one eighth Of an inch to one-half an
inch III thickness This is the gluten.
Third comes the largest part Of the
potato the starch. II this ii very
dense the potato will be mcaly, but IL
non uniform the potato will be of
poor quality
Fourth is the very center OF the tti-
Der which contains little starch and i
great deal oil water JIG this area
branches OUT into the starch the POI

CAREER or YERKES.


American Magazine mean to be-
gin with the career and personality of
the late Charles 81 Yerkes. For about
fifteen years he was the largest and
most conspicuous figure IN Chicago trac-
ton matters and when he went away
with his heavy sack of loot he left a
tradition that remains. to this day, an
important factor iii the situation.
He came to Chicago in the early
eighties from Philadelphia, where he had
Il brief though romantic career. He had
f7ourished there during the regime Of
the gas ring, had been the friend and
associate of Elkins and Widener, had
finally made a disastrous failure In spec
tllation, felt the bite Of the law and gone
to prison. This last act. to my belief,
was more to his credit than otherwise.
