Getting Down to Business. Darryinx

Getting Down to Business DaIryinx.
The first Dairy Test Association in
New England was organized few days
ago at Durham, N. H., under direction
of the Experiment Station workers
The membership is made up Of pro-
gressive dairy farmers. The object is
to cooperate in getting records which
show the quality Of milk in the various
herds and the cost of feeding. The as
ISOLATION will engage an agent to do
the testing and each member will pay
his part Of the expense. The plan has
been found to work successfully in
other parts Of the country and enabled
dairymen to find out just what their
herds are doing and what changes are
needed. The experiment stations Of
New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine,
1t Is understood, will encourage the
formation Of these associations In all
dairy sections.

Uses of the Mulberry,


The mulberry has not been put to
many uses, and has not been as ex.
tenslvely used as its merits indicate.
The fruit Of the best varieties Is very
good when eaten fresh. Some of the
varieties ripen their fruit over a period
or several months, which is not true of
any other fruit. 1t can also be used
for pies and Jellies, and those who
have used them say that they are quite
good, says bulletin by the North Car
DINA station. The tree is a rapid grow
er and makes splendid shade tree, es-
pecially around stables and stock yards.
No better fruit Is known for swine
and chickens than the mulberry. Some
trees produce as high as ten or twelve
bushels of fruit, and during the long
fruiting period pigs and chickens need
little other food. They also grow well
In hog pastures and chicken yards, and
give excellent shade. They serve an
excellent purpose near cherry trees and
on strawberry plantations in attracting
birds away from these fruits. As LONG
as there are ripe mulberries close at
hand, the other fruit will suffer very
little from birds.

Keeping the Cider Sweet.

| The keeping of cider as sweet as pos.
sible represents another important task
in connection with this product. Sassa-
fras bark, or ground cinnamon, are
| among the preservatives most used in
rural homes. In cities the taste is oft
en- Spoiled by too much preservatives.
Left to itself, sweet cider soon becomes
hard. Hard cider Is intoxicating, and,
on account Of the difficulty in determin-
Ing just when alcohol begins to enter
into sweet cider many temperance peo-
pie are inclined to put the ban on all
cider.
Vinegar is obtained by placing bar
rels of cider in the sun or in a warm
cellar. The bungholes of the barrels
are always left open. Mother of vine
gar is put into each barrel in small
quantities, and helps in the transforma-
ton Of cider to vinegar. A very large
per cent of the cider that comes from
the present-day cider mill Is eventually
turned into vinegar.
1t Is fact not appreciated by every
one that the quality Of cider, and the
ether products of the cider as we'll, is
dependent upon the kind of apples that
are used. Those people who insist on
using the scrubs of the orchard for
cider cannot expect the best results.
In some states apples are grown espe-
ciaily for cider. A ripe apple and one
that Is particularly full of Juice will
make better cider, better Jelly and bet
ter apple butter than ones that do not
possess these qualities. Among the
common varieties of apples the Bald.

NORTH POLE? THAT'S EASY.
Milwaukee Captain" Plans Trip,
Then Sends Word He is There.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Whether or not
there is a jest on foot is still to be
found out, but Capt. Daring, of Mil
waukee, claims to have reached the
north pole and found it to be a region
covered by immense ice fields.
Capt. Daring Is acknowledged to be
fictitious name by its bearer, who
has for several months past called at
tention to his balloon and proposed
trip to the north pole. He seemed
perfectly rational. The other day tel
egrams were received in Milwaukee
from him announcing the discovery of
the pole according to program. The
message was as follows:
"Veni, vidi vici, 80 degrees ascend
ed ten miles north of Montreal, Thurs
day, March, a. M, reached 80 de-
grees or the pole 1:15 a. m. Sunday
March-'07. Planted American flag and
left record, remained at pole one hour
IS minutes. Time consumed in going
to the pole 81 hours Is minutes; re-
turn time, 40 hours seven minutes.
Solid ice field at pole. Will send par
ticulars at earliest convenience. Am
coming on to Milwaukee in balloon
tomorrow If wind is favorable"

RorHscHILD AS A WRITER.
English Millionaire Compiling Work
for SIPS a Copy.

London-Lionel Walter Rothschild
has been for long time devoting a
part of his share Of the Rothschild
family wealth to the production of
one of the costliest books on record
It's subject is extinct birds. 1t aims
to give accounts of all birds that have
become extinct in historical times.
The author, whose private natural
history museum at Tring Park, Hert-
fordshire, is world famed, has spent
about 100000 on the work while the
publishers have expended more than
$4,000 for engraving blocks alone
They also have been experimenting
for years to obtain an imperisha BILE
paper, Mr.. Rothschild wishing his
work to endure for all time, because
he thinks it improbable the subject
will ever be rehandled.
1t is stated the publishers have now
obtained for the plates paper they are
sure will take color printing without
and coating and give perfect results
1t costs about So cents pound. Only
800 copies of the English edition Of
the work will be printed. 1t will
be sold for 1925 copy. Foreign edi-
tons will follow.

SCATTER ASHES TO WIND.
Odd Request of Illinois Man Will Be
Carried Out.

Bloomington, Ill-In compliance
with the last will and testament of M.
A. Gould, of Rock Island county, his
ashes will be scattered to the four
winds of heaven" He died recently
after providing in his will for the Gre
nation of his body and the distribu-
ton of his ashes and peculiar funeral
rites. He insisted that no religious
rites of any kind be performed at his
funeral and that simply an address
be delivered by his lawyer friend, B.
F. Peck, and that a male quartet sing
a number of strictly secular selections.
All these provisions with the excep-
ton of the cremation of the body have
been complied with The cremation
will follow later. 1t has been decided
to scatter the ashes on Memorial day
Mr.. Gould was a prominent soldier
of the civil war. The administrator
decided that it would be appropriate
to scatter the ashes of the dead vet
eran in company with the scattering
of flowers on the water in memory of
the sailor heroes of the war. Mr..
Gould was county surveyor of Rock
Island county for many years.

REWARD AFTER So YEARS.
Sailor Who Fought in Crimean War
Given Medal by Britain.

Boston.-Fifty-two years after the
close of his enlistment in the British
navy, Cornelius Doyle, veteran of
the Crimean war, who now lives at
Charlestown, the other day received
from Capt. Charles Wyndham, British
consul, heavy silver medal common
Grating his service in the feet under
the command OF Sir Charles Napier.
Mr.. Doyle has lived in Boston so
years, and in all that time he has met
but one man who was In the Baltic
feet, Sir Charles feet, and this man
happened to be one of his former ship
mates from whom he had parted years
before in England, and probably he
would never have received his medal
but for the intercession of Maj. Stokes,
secretary of the British Naval and
Military Veterans association, who
put the wheels in motion in England
which resulted in the presentation of
the medal.
1t has taken over a year to get the
medal ready, and this was because it's
pattern had become nearly extinct
and the designers of medals in Eng
land had to go through books in the
British museum to And out the correct
pattern which should be used in max
ing the medal.
The exercises connected with the
presentation of the medal were very
brief. He was accompanied from
Charlestown by a married daughter,
and Capt. Wyndhan, after short
speech, pinned the medal On the vet
eran. Maj. Stokes, the attaches of
the consulate and some newspaper
men we're all that were present.

not necessarily quick transportation
The railroads confess that they can
not handle the immense crops of grain

Vessels Under Water.

London.-H. Middleton, an engineer,
claims to have solved the problem
of propelling and steering large YES
sells under the water. This has been
engaging the attention Of the admir-

Mr. Middleton believes that in future

be brought by large submarine vessels
and that his invention will make this
possible. The nature of his invention
is a closely guarded secret. but he is
submitting it to experts with view
to securing trial for it.
