OF all men, our farmers are most In
terested in the enactment and enforce.
ment of pure food laws. Not that they
are particularly affected by food adul-
teration, for they take almost every
thing they eat right from the hand o.
nature But they are concerned that
the stuff they produce shall reach the
city neighbor who uses 1t as fresh, pure
and wholesome as possible.
1t is in a way q reflection upon the
farmer that milk, butter, fruits and
other things which come from the
farms of the country are impure and
SO calculated to work injury to the
life and health Of the nation. So they
are doing all in their power to bring
about tht best legislation on this sub
ject. They also desire that the laws
already enacted shall be put into eff srt
Therefore they welcome the sugges-
ton Of DR.. Wiley, chief of the bureau
Of chemistry Of the department of agri-
culture at Washington, that the ma
tional government shall set the stand
ard for pure milk at 1928 per cent of
butter fat.
Our farmers are now producing milk
that averages very closely to per cent.
Few Of them are satisfied with any
thing below that point. And they do
not like to be told, as they have been
many times, that the average for milk
sold in the markets of the country is
far below that standard. 1t is not
their fault that 1t is so, and they want
the crime, for it Is little less than a
crime to thus debase the milk supply
Of the country, placed where it belongs,
and punishment inflicted accordingly.
The same thing is true touching all
other farm products. The farmers
want 1t just as good as nature gave
it to them when it reaches the table
Of the man who uses It.

Tho Meat We Eat.

The per capita consumption Of meat
in the United States is estimated at
119 pounds. The Australians alone
surpass us as meat eaters, and the
average In their country Is abnor.
mally high because Of the large num-
Der of animals as compared with the
sparse population, meat in consequence
being abundant and cheap. Following
the United States are Argentina. Great
Britain, Germany and France. ranging
from 40 to 81 pounds, and Italy
brings up the rear of the procession
with q pounds. In Germany there are
slaughtered for food each year under
official inspection numbers of horses
and dogs In addition to the usud1 food
animals. In Paris there were slaugh-
tered for food during ten years an
annual average of more than 20.OOO
horses, mules and asses.

From experiments carried on with
chemically pure lime and sulphur, 1t
appears to the author Of a government
bulletin that solid sulphur is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-flve to sixty min
utes. A boiling period Of one hour
is sufficient to dissolve nearly all of
the sulphur, but the thiosulphates are
somewhat increased by longer period.
Salt apparently has no influence
upon the composition Of the wash in
80 far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences in
the composition of the wash, as rsed
by different Investigators. have little or
no influence upon the time required
for boiling. When lime and sulphur
are used in equal quantities there is
more than enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur. These substances may be
used in the proportion Of one pound of
lime to one and one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons is maximum
quantity.
1t appears that the use of air-slaked
lime has no influence on the compo-
sitlon Of the wash, and that thsre is
likewise practically no difference in
composition whether flowers Of sui
phur or nour of sulphur il used. De-
tailed notes are also given on the COM
position Of lime-sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kinds Of sulphur compounds. It Is
found that not all of the sulphur Is
dissolved by the heat generated BY
caustic soda, but the suggestion Is
made that q wash containing ten
pounds Of caustic soda and nineteen
pounds Of sulphur per fifty gallons Of
water without lime may give satlsfac-
tory results.

The story that Audrey heard from her
mothers lips was short and Ditiful one
"a story full of a woman's misery, .
mans treachery, and husbands broken
heart.
Years before, when Constance Gas
csigne was a girl Of nineteen, and had
just made her debut In the world. she
went to stay with 4 half-sister Of her
mothers, down in a small country vii
lage. The aunt with whom Constance
stayed-Lady Anstruther-had two sons,

young girl fell most violently in love.

who was, moreover, the son Of a man

was not moment for delay, and Frank,
