but is the result Of a desire to cater to
the popular demand for a uniform yel-
low color in butter at all seasons Of
the year.
The following food inspection de-
cision No. 81 illustrates the attitude
Of the government authorities towards
the eoloring Of butter at this time.
The coloring OF butter is specifcal-
iy permitted in the law Of August 2,
1856 ga Stat. 2Os). and the coloring
or cheese in the law Of June s, 1896

partment that the food and drugs act
does not repeal the provisions Of the
acts referred 70 above and the addl-
ton Of harmless color to these sub

provided and that the presence Of col

JAMES WILSON.
Secretary Of Agriculture.
Washington. %. c.. January lS. 1901
The pure food law. which went into
effect January I. 1907. does not forbid
the coloring Of butter, but It prohibits
interstate commerce in any article Of
food, II it contains any added poison
Gus ingredient which may render such
article injurious TO health The regu-
lations made for the enforcement Of
the law provide that the secretary Of
agriculture shall determine the names
Of such substances as shall be permit
ted or inhibited and until inyestiga-
tions have been made and reported By
the secretary Of agriculture regarding
the brands Of butter color now on the
market, it is evident that their use as
formerly may be continued.
The brands Of butter color now on
the market may be divided into two
general classes.
4. Those made from anatto seed by
the use Of some oil as a solvent, com
monty called vegetable colors.
2 The aniline or eoal-tar color,
sometimes called mineral colors.
Up 70 within a year or two, aniline
butter colors have been more ex-
fensiyely used than vegetable colors.
There seems 70 be some uncertainty
in the popular mind whether Or not
aniline butter color IS harmless as
used in the manufacture Of butter. /

Breaking Down Sage srush.-For
preparing new land for the pIow, some
sort Of implement is often needed to
remove the sagebrush. For this pur-
pose a common railroad rail is often
used, with a team hitched to each end
and the rail dragged sideways across
the land, breaking down the brush.
This may be followed By heavy rake
which gathers up the 1oosened brush
into piles or windrows for burning

ly noticed in the butter when large
quantities OF such brands Of color are
used.
Fifth, a great improvement in the
strength and favor Of certain brands
Of vegetable butter color was noticed
during the year these experiments
were conducted. which suggests that
the vegetable butter colors NAV
eventually be improved SO as to com
pare faVorably with the anillne but
ter coiors.
Sixth, when butter was held in cold
storage at FIVE degrees below zero. no
difference was noticed in the uniform
ity or the depth Of color in the lots Of
butter to which aniline and vegetable
coloring was added. Over so tubs Of
butter we're held in storage for differ
ent lengths OF time, some Of them
being taken out when the butter was
nearly year old. Neither the vege-
table nor the aniline colored butter
showed any indication Of fading or
changing color while in storage.
Seventh, butter can be satisfactorily
colored with a vegetable color.

Why Elephants Fear Mica,

1t seems incredible that SO small and
harmless an animal as a mouse is able
to frighten an elephant almost out Of
his senses. One little mouse In the
hay on which they are feeding win
stampede an entire herd. In their ma
tive land there are little animals,
known as chacanas, which feed on q
small, sour berry of which elephants
are very fond. They live In settle
ments, something after the manner Of
prairie dogs, under the berry bushes.
When feeding. the elephants trample
the little towns. and the chacanas, In
their fright, run up the tubes Of the
elephants trunks. Their long, sharp
claws catch In the flesh, and they can
not be elected. The more violently the
monster blows through its coiled trunk
the more firmly the hooked claws Of
the little animal become imbedded In
the flesh. Inflammation and death are
the result. In captivity the elephants
think they are in danger Of the deadly
chacanas when they see a mouse.

Early Baseball Teams.

Baseball teams existed as early as
1916, but the first league was formed
In 1857, when the National Association
Of Baseball Players was organized.
This, as the title implies, was an Or
ganization OF players-in fact, Of ANA
teur players. They did not remain true
amateurs for long, however, and in
1871 baseball was placed squarely on
a professional basis, when there came
into existence the National Association
Of Professional Baseball Players. II
will be noted that the players still
governed the sport, and they continued
to do so until 1876 1t was In this
period that there grew up the great
abuses which mcnaced the very life of
baseball-namely, gambling and the
buying and selling Of games. In 1875
the players were deposed from the
government Of professional baseball,
and they have never since controlled
the game.-Henry Beach Needham In
Success Magazine.

Of "Over the Garden Wall" When
the song was ended her lover laughed
and said:

Not the store He Meant.

Crumpled In his hand was batch Of
shopping bills, whose Intermittent rus
Ting, as the clutch of their possessor
relaxed and again frightened, afforded
ample testimony to the cause of his
lordship's displeasure.
Gently and with all her wooing arts
evidently in hair trigger readiness the
young wife approached the offended
one and began:
"Lovey, now don't sit here pouting
all by yourself like a bad natured lit
tie boy. Such actions, as you very
well know, II you'll only stop to think
It over, will not at all contribute to the
making Of that blissful home you were

grow over the happiness the future

With the spell Of his dispieasure
partly broken by her persuasive man
ner. and yet with some touch Of tart
ness in his tone, he turned and replied:
"Yes, do, but assure you, madam,

San Francisco. Sept. Is AN other
attempt will be made this month to
plant the common lobster of the
North Atlantic coast in Pacific wa.
teIs.
Five attempts have already been
made, most of them in conjunction
with the California state fish comis-
sion, to transplant the lobster to the
western coast ot the United States In
localities ranging from Puget sound
to Monterey bay, but as far ts is
known, the attempts have been fail
ures, although it Is possible there may
be limited numbers of the crustaoeans
alive and multiplying In Monterey

The fish commission possesses spec
tally constructed cars for the trans
portation of fish and 1t Is one of these
cars that has been selected for the
btaHspuTbhtiuu VI lOUbteTb lube0ueu TO
stock Pacific coast waters. The lob.
sters chosen probably will be obtained
OFT the Maine or Massachusetts coasts
and will be carefully transpIanted to
Puget sound, where this experiment
Is to Ee made.
The last experiment made on the
Pacific coast was In 1906. The Holsters
were transported very successfully,
large proportion remaining alive to
the end of the journey, and they we're
planted In various localities with great
hopes that they would live and multi
ply. Afterward it was reported on
several occasions that specimens had
been taken or had been seen In shaI.
low water; but it cannot be stated
positively that the observers were sure
of their ground.
Many of the Holsters will have
spawn attached to them and IL is ex.
pected that millions of young will be
liberated by them soon after they
reach their destination.
