Cutters In stahlea.

Many of the old-fashioned stables
have no cutters. the floor behind the
standing platforms of the COW being
q dead level. The liquids COW over all
and this is constantly wet during the
time the cows are tied up. Il Is al
ways advisable to construct cutters
behind the cows, thus keeping the
level part dry and clean at all times.
This gutter will catch the liquids and
will carry them to one end of the
stable where they can be made to run
into some kind Of receptacle or some
absorbent that will preserve them
for fertiiizing purposes. The cutters
greatly facilitate the cleaning out &C
the stables.

AGRICULTURAL POINTS.

The farm Is what a fellow makes It.
Faith Is the father of profit in farm
ing.
The frost strikes deep in we'll
drained soil.
Weeds are but the progeny of one
seed-neglect. Good practice is the
only true remedy.
Advice to those about to farm
Keep your tools bright, your fences
tight and your heart light.
Stone harvest lasts from November
to March. During the rest OF the
year other things interfere with It.
It Is poor management to 60 witA
out things that are needed, in order
to hoard up money. Human necessi.
ties come first.
The depth of the water table in the
soil will regulate to a considerable
degree the moisture of the soil. The
water table should not be nearer to
the surface than 80 inches and may
be ten feet below the surface in very
fine soils.

Or. WIIey,s Report.
IDAHO

DE-. Wiley's report on the use of
borax as preservative was published
when the National Pure Food bill had
failed OF passage for the seventh or
eighth time, when state labelling laws
were enforced with notorious laxity,
and before doctored foods had begun
to figure in popular fiction. His re-
port on salicylic acid and salicylates,
just issued by the bureau of chemist.
ry, finds the objects Of the long cam.
paign practically achieved, SO far as
legislation is concerned. The poison
squad" experiments, which gave
borax worse reputation than was
expected, have not placed salicylic
acid in lower class. AS Mr.. Wiley
sums up his results: The final con.
clusion in this matter is that
the unenviable position which salicy-
lie acid has heretofore held among
preservatives, as being regarded as
fae most injurious of all, is to a GER
tain extent undeserved. Like other
ordinary preservatives, 1t is not one
which can be classed as a poison in
the usual sense of the word. When
used as a medicine in many cases of
arrangement of health, it is like the
other chemical preservatives, often
highly beneficial when properly pre-
scribed by competent physician. 1t
is when used in the food at first an
apparent stimulant, increasing the alb
sorption and solubility of the common
food elements from the alimentary
canal. 1t soon, however, loses its
stimulating properties and becomes a
depressant, tending to break down
the tissues of the body more rapidly
than they are built up. The ad-
dition of salicylic acid and salicylates
TO food Is process which is
reprehensible in every respect, and
leads to injury to the consumer,
which, though in many cases not cas-
lily measured, must finally be produc-
tive of great harm" Thus we know
the worst 1t is the beauty of the
new legislation, remarks the New
York Post, that no one hereafter need
swallow the stuff without knowing it.

THE POPULAR CHEESE.
Government Test Shows That the Mild
Cheese is Favored.

-.
The popular taste for cheese in this
country has changed during recent
years from thoroughly cured, highly
favored cheese to a mild. slightly
cured cheese. The day Of the strong,
rank cheese is passing. The present
taste is we'll illustrated by test made
In the Washington market by the
dairy division Of the bureau of animal
industry. Arrangements were made
with retail dealer to sell three kinds
Of cheese as an experiment. One lot
was under two weeks of age and to all
appearance had not broken down in
the least. Another lot had been rip.
ened from the hoop in a 32-degree
temperature and was well broken down
but almost without flavor. The third
lot had been carried in the factory cur.
ing room and then held In storage at
40 degrees for several months, and
had pronounced flavor. These
three cheese were exposed for sale in
two different markets, samples from
all three lots being placed side by side
and customers asked to select. Thirty
eight customers selected the green,
uncured cheese, So selected the mild,
well-cured cheese, and % selected the
cheese with the high flavor. It ap.
pears from this that mild cheese
either cured or incurred, is now pre-
ferred by most buyers.

BEAT HIS DAUGHTER.

Thomas Corcoran, Of 37 Haven street, changed his mind after few minutes talk with Judge Tyner in the city court yesterday morning on the subject of a parents right to chastise, as Corcoran termed it, his children. Corcoran was before the court charged with beating his sixteen-year-old daughter Mary be- cause she dad complained to the Grand avenue police about his hanging out in a saloon all day Sunday. He punched her with his fist and frankly admitted to the court that he had beat her for doing wrong"
 You think that was wrong, do you?" inquired Judge Tyner. Well, now, if I had the evidence before me I would send you and the saloonkeeper who keeps open on Sunday, and everybody else in the place, to jail"
 Corcoran made several remarks about there being too much System" in the court procedure, until he was shut off by Judge Tyner, who told him that he would send him to place where there was a good deal more sys- tenn (the jaiD if he abused his daugh- ter again. His case was continued un- til March 30 in care of the probation officer.

THE STAGE KISS AGAIN.

The stage kiss is important. There is nothing which so tests the genius of an actor and an actress as the ability un- der just such circumstances to produce the illusion of love. On the stage it is necessary for them to forget their own feelings, one for the other, and In the place of the warped though genuine kiss we see at the railroad station and the steamship wharf, present to our eyes by the magic of their acting a highly artificial product.
 And this highly artificial product, be- cause it is art and because it is pro- duced by art, impresses us as real and genuine where the actually real and genuine would have filled us only with derision and contempt, just as real tears on the stage would fail to move us Indeed, the best stage kisses, the kisses that are most convincing in the way of realism, are usually given and received by actors and actresses whose feeling for each other in private life Is, to say the least, indifferent. Frequent ly, if audiences only knew, they were love-making on the stage between men and women who are literally at dag gers points with each other.
 I would not go so far as to say that such a state of feeling always contri- butes to good stage love-making and to realistic stage kissing, but I do know that it is an automatic truth, recog-
 
 where, not to engage play-folk lovers to enact similar roles in drama if it is at all possible to get any one else.- Blanche Ring in "The Psychology of the Stage Kiss.
