siderable interest was manifested by
the people of this section in the trial
Mt Spring Grove, of George Sheldon,
Charles Byrd and Thomas GilcErist,
colored, before Squires Wilbut Roberts
and L. II. Bishop, charged with Inter-
,ruption Of church worship, it being
alleged that the defendants disturbed
church meeting conducted by the
Rev. John Allen, colored of Spring
Grove
The evidence in the case developed
the fact that whatever disturbance
was created at the church ana meet
ing in question, 1t did not occur until
after the meeting was over and that
thd Rev. Allen was In all probability
trying to crafty personal motives and
spite in pressing the charges against
the men.A rather than the peace and
happiness OF his congregation. Test
mony also revealed that this minister
has repeatedly displeased the better
element OF his tlock by a most radi-
cal stand OH the race question and
that he continually advocates meas
Sures In church affairs that arc not
conducive to harmony between the
whites and blacks. 1T was testified

THE POPULAR CHEESE.
Government Test Shows That the Mild
Cheese 10 Favored.


The popular taste for cheese in this
country has changed during recent
years from thoroughly cured. highly
favored cheese to q mild, slightly
cured cheese. The day Of the strong.
rank cheese is passing. The present
taste is well illustrated by a test made
in the Washington market by the
dairy division Of the bureau of animal
industry. Arrangements were made
with a 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 32.degree
temperature and was we'll 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 a pronounced favor. 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 20 selected the
cheese with the high flavor. 1t ap-
pears from this that a mild cheese.
either cured or incurred. Is now pre-
ferred by most buyers.

STERILE MILK.
II is Possible to Get a Product Free
From Bacteria.

Sterile milk has been considered an
impossibility outside of a we'll
equipped laboratory. Recently. two
instances Of absolutely sterile milk
from the dairy have been reported.
and the report comes at first hand in
such a way as hardly to be doubted
by any one. One of these was by
hand milking. and the other by the
Burrell milking machine. d. d. Wool
sci. manager OF the Tuliy farms
dairy. has taken good deal Of pains
to have the milk and Its surroundings
perfectly clean. The usual precau-
tions relative to washing the COWS
have been observed. Mixers are re-
quired to put on each day freshly
laundered and sterilized suits, and to
wash their hands before milking each
COW. says H. H. Lyon. in Hoard's
Dafryman. These and similar precau.
. lions are carefully observed, and all
rules calculated to have for their OBJ
ject the production of cleaner milk.
are enforced every time. It was not
expected. however. that absolutely all
bacteria could be kept out. and It was
q matter OF surprise when the bacteri-
ologist made the report showing entire
sterility.
The other report comes from Utica,
and the test was made by the veteri-
marian. He first made test by hand
milking, taking care to reduce the
number of bacteria as low as he could,
With a result. of 5000 per cubic cent?.

whether this was new machine that

iment goes far to answer the ques-
tien: Can the tubes and the machine

THE sILo.
Information BY L. A. Clinton. Director
otoer's Experiment station.

1.sFor general use we find q siIo II
feet In diameter and 80 feet high to be
very satisfactory size.
2. The bottom of the siio should be
on . level with the feeding door.
where the COWS are to stand. would
never dig pit for the purpose OF
storing silaEe. 1t ia far cheaper to
get the increased capacity by making
the silo higher rather than to dig into
the ground.
3. Where the silo extends 10 feet or
more into the ground the obstacle In
the way Of removing silage Is that It
has to be lifted In order to. get 1t out
OF the silo. The only way OF remov.
ing this obstacle is to dig tunnel or
passage way which shall have the
depth equal to that of the silo. but
this does not remove the obstacle.
4. There would be no dinlculty arts.
ing from the presence Of carbonic
acid in the part Of the silo below the
ground.
s. The most frequent mistake made
In the construction OF silos Is not max.
ing them air tight. 1t ia absolutely es.
sential for the silage to be kept IN
an Albright aiso in order to be pre-.
served properly.
6. No better treatment can be given
the inside Of the silo than to paint II
occasionally with hot coal tar. Each
year after removing the silage the
side wills should be scraped and an
application of coal tar given.
A well-built sllo does not need any
special treatment each year in order
to keep 1t in good condition. II the
inside ia given fresh coat of hot
coal tar the walls will be preserved
We prefer round stave silo to all
other types of wood silos. We prefer
wooden silo to either a concrete o.
brick. believing that the silage is bet
ter preserved where 1t comes in con
tact with wooden walls.

80 MILLIONS or cHiNEsE.
Yellow Empire Has About ons-tssth q
Globes Population.

The interesting question OF the pop
ulation of the Chinese empire has
often been discussed. but 1t II still
impossible to say with any degree OF
certainty what the figures are.
At the beginning Of the Christian
era 1t is tolerably certain that there
were At least s0.00O.OOO Inhabitants.
and it must be remembered that the
empire then was much smaller than
It Is at the present time.
Most OF the censuses taken in China
during the last 1900 years. says the
North China Daily News. have not
professed to take In the whole popula-
ton. Young children and old men. for
instance. were sometimes omitted. the
main object of the census being to as
certain the number Of taxable persons.
By common consent the most reli-
able census ever taken In China was
that OF 1912. This gives the figures
as more than 362.00o,00O. In 1858 the
population was estimated nearly 4OS.-
900 900: but in 1881 1t had fallen to
IS, 900. 900, the great TAPPING rebellion.
in which SO many millions of people
lost their lives. being one of the prin-
cipal causes undoubtedly for this great
decline.
Travellers. missionaries and others.
who have visited the region devAs-
tated at the time of the TAPPING rebel
lion, express. the opinion that the loss
of life during the great cOnvulsion has
generally been estimated at too low q
figure. and 1t is question also
whether the terrible famine more than
score of years ago in the provinces
of Chill. shansi. Shensi and Honan.
with population Of 10000. 900, is not
responsible for the loss Of more lives
than 1t Is usually credited with.
1t IL still more certain that the Mo
hammedan uprising In the northwest
destroyed more lives than 1t IL gen-
orally supposed to have done. A very
moderate computation of the loss Of
life incurred in these three calamities
makes 1t to be fully G0,000.00 And
in this connection it would be we'll.
perhaps, to remind ourselves that the
habitual use Of opium by such .
large number of the people has tended
to act injuriously on the recuperative
power of the nation.
