IDENTIFYING ~. s." ANIMALS.
System Of Branding Authorized by
the Army Regulations.

Whenever you see the letters ~.
s." branded on the left fore shoulder
OF an animal make up your mind at
once that that beast is or was at one
time the property of our rich old
Uncle SAM" says the Washington
Post
Then, again, II you know the key
to the system of branding utilized
by the quartermaster's department,
U. S. A., you would in a moment be
able to tell the organization of the
army to which that animal was as.
signed Immediately after purchase by
the government.
Last October, when the army of
Cuban pacification was being EN-.
parked from Newport News, Va, many
OF the army horses and mules await
ing shipment became mixed with
those of other organizations, but 1t
only needed the knowledge of Sergt.
Casey to decipher the hoof brands and
dispatch the animals to their proper
organizations. In other words. these
brands serve as Identification tags"
Branding public animals is not a
matter of choice but is provided for
by the army regulations, which directs
that public animals shall, upon the
day received, be branded with the let.
tiers u. s.. on the left fore shoulder.
Horses assigned to organizations will
also be branded on the hoof of one
forefoot, one and onehalf inches be-
low the cronet, with the designation
or the company Branding irons of
uniform size and design will be sup.
piled by the quartermaster's depart.

so as to penetrate the hoof one.six.
teenth OF an inch. For example, the
hoof brands on horses assigned to
band, Ninth cavalry, would be CB9;

CAUSE OF GAS IN THE cHURN.
An Explanation Of This Peculiar Phe.
nomenon in Handling Cream.

Frequently in churning gas will &C.
cumulate after several rounds anG
create a pressure inside sufficiently
great to produce popping report at
the buttermilk outlet when the cork is
removed. This delights the children
and calls for an explanation such as
is requested In the following:
What causes the compressure of
air In churn? | have often noticed
that after several turns Of barrel
churn one would find the cream oozine
out at the sides of the cover. In
taking out the cork at the bottom the
gas would escape with force"
The compressure of air is due to the
formation of gas produced by certain
bacteria. These organisms exist In
the cream when 1t is being soured for
churning. The gas is a by.product,
simply speaking, and as II forms by
fermentation or other processes in
duced by the germs, It is held in the
body OF the cream. being unable tc
rise and escape on account Of the den
sity of the same.
Inc ndAlmum amount OF gas ls
naturally contained In the cream just
at churning time. A little is liberated
IN stirring and pouring. Cream that
has been agitated with q paddle dur.
ing the ripening process will often
show bubbles on the surface. This is
the same gas as is collected in the
ohurn. The greater the viscosity of the
cream the larger will be the bubbles
before they break, says Coleman's
Rural World. The presence of this
phenomenon indicates that more clean.
illness could be practiced. The OBJ
lection to the gas is that 1t is liable
to impart more or less OF strong O,
undesirable flavor in cream of first
class purity.

Jewel for Child Heroine.

Little Ethel Johnson saved two lives
In the Columbia disaster. She rescued
her child companion, Effie Gordon, and
held her above water until taken
aboard life boat.
While struggling with her compan-
ion a man who could scarcely swim
was also saved by her. He seized hold
upon her and was also held above the
water by her childish efforts. Perhaps
this man sent the present.

Buy a Good Separator.

When a separator is to be pur.
chased, see that It is good one.
There are many cheap and worthless
machines on the market that will
simply disgust the buyers when they
come to use them. The separators ad.
vertised in the Farmers Review are
not of this class, but are of the class
that will give satisfaction for many
years to come. The buyer OF sep.
arator should remember that when a
separator is offered him at price far
below what the regular companies can
make them for, something must be
the matter with It, The matter is
generally that the cheap machine is
manufactured at very low cost out
OF poor material and lacks exactness
In adjustment. Without that exact.
ness a separator is of no value.

WHY ADVERTISING Paws.

you will be pressed for money
oftener because you have no advertis.

big advertising bills and big bank
balances grow, together, out OF the

chant who holds down his expense ac-
count by cutting out advertising saves
money just the way the railroads
would II they should stop buying coal
for their locomotives. Without coal
the wheels won't turn; without pub.
licity trade comes to standstill. 1t
pays to throw silver out OF the window

John Knox, Prophet.

John Knox, the reformer, would
seem to have possessed in no ordinary
degree the spirit of prediction and to
have foretold with accuracy not only
certain remarkable events of public
importance, but also the ultimate fate
of certain individuals. Thus when con.
demned to the galleys at Mochelle he
took his sentence with the greatest
composure, merely remarking that in
spite of II he would within two or
three years. preach the Gospel in ST.

most improbable of accomplishment
at the time 1t was uttered, was after.

Grange, and solemnly warned the re.
gent, Murray, not to go on to Linlith.

fate OF which Knox had forewarned
him.-Exchange.

A Horses Good Fortune.

A spiritualist came to our house
some time ago and claimed to be able
to locate our lost friends IL we de

we had sold years ago and my mother
wanted to know where he was. Moth.
er began:
I'VE had very good friend who al
ways did all our work. He passed
from us several years ago and the
last We heard of him was that he
was in Los Angeles. l would like
to know II he is still living"
The spiritualist made certain mo.

Tom Ochiltree's Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con-
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John W.
Mackay family. he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good In some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count de Biscuit, down to
the Battery to show the sight Of New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as 'her
maiden reflection rippled over the
pearly waters" He cried: "Eet ISIS
grand! Eet is grand! Dair ISIS no
such moon in all Italy!" Count"
said Ochiltree. solemnly, as befitted
the occasion, you just ought 10 see

Did You Ever,

Did you ever stop to figure out how
much you lose by not knowing exact.
ly what your cows are doing from day
to day? Do you ever sit down and
study hard as to why your herd gave
300 pounds OF milk one night and
morning and only 273 pounds the sec.
ond night and morning following? Did
you ever add a fresh COW to your herd
and find at the end of a week that you
were getting only as much milk as
you were before the fresh COW was
added, though you had fully counted
upon maintaining the original flow
and being better of by Just one cows
milk? How often were you successful
in getting the herd back to It's former
flow under these circumstances?
