A MATTER OF DIRT.

Whether milk and cream keep sweet
for "a considerable time or sour quickly
seems to be simply matter of dirt
and germs, which for all practical pur-
poses may be said to be synonymous
terms At the recent dairy show held
in Chicago milk was exhibited which
had been taken from the cow two
weeks before and brought 1000 miles
to the exhibit When the show was
over this same milk was transported
as great a distance and kept for three
weeks in refrigerator before 1t
showed signs of souring. This remark
able showing was not the result of any
preservatfve used, but was due to an
exercise of the greatest possible clean
Illness IN the handling of the milk. 1t
is safe to assume that the man who
milked this product did not wash the
cows teats off with milk squirted on
his hands or put the milk In unscalded
cams after the job was done. While
such a standard of excellence might
not be within reach of the average
dairyman, there is lesson in the in
stance referred to which might be put
to good account by all the patrons OF
every creamery. Cleanliness means
butter quality, and this in turn means
top notch prices and Increased returns
The connection lis simple and easy to
trace.

HOW TO KEEP EGGS.

An Ohio reader of these notes writes
inquirfng for some satisfactory meth
cd of preserving eggs. In reply to
his query we will give the water glass
recipe. which as a result of numer-
GUS experiments made by the depart
ment has been found to be the most
satisfactory. The receptacle in which
the eggs are to be kept, preferably a
stone jar, should be cleaned out and
scalded with boiling water. The solu-
ton is made by adding one quart of
water glass to fifteen quarts of boiled
water. The eggs, which must be
strictly fresh and should not be wash
ed, are packed into the jar and the
water glass solution poured over them
SO as to completely cover them. 1t is
best to pack the eggs down daily as
they are laid, pouring over them Just
enough of the liquid to cover them.
Eggs preserved in this way will keep
in prime condition for nine months.
and 1t is stated that they will often
keep as long as four weeks after be-
ing removed from the preservative
solution. With water glass at 10 cents
per pound, the cost of this method of
preserving eggs Is somewhat less than
cent a dozen.

WHY THEY DIE.

Almost every fall about the time the
cattle are turned into the stalks
good many animals are lost In the ag-
gregate as result Of impaction Of the
stomach due to the very dry character
of this feed. Such losses may be In
large measure prevented by giving the
animals an abundance OF salt and easy
access to all the water they can drink.
This furnishes the liquid needed for
the proper digestion and elimination of
the masticated corn fodder. Providing
an abundance of salt viii cause the
stock to drink an amount of liquid nee
.essary for this process. Occasionally
animals are lost through what is known
as the cornstalk disease, which seems
to be itraceable to the eating of corn of
a second or later growth IN which vir-
ulent poison is In some way develop
ed, the character of which has not yet
been ascertained. Whether death Is
due to the one or the other of these
two causes can be ascertained by a
postmortem examination of the stom-
ach If an impacted condition is found,
1T lis quite likely that the animal has
not drunk the water needed. If this
condition is not found. death is prob
ably due to the latter cause, the only
preventive of which is keeping the cat
tie out of the field In which they have
been feeding.

PAPER FROM PEAT.

With the decreasing supply Of wood
as a material for the manufacture of
paper, other substitutes are being
sought. Besides cotton and cornstalks,
from which very satisfactory grade
of paper has been made, peat is now
also being utilized for the manufacture
of coarser grades of paper in Sweden.
1t Is claimed by the United States con-
sui located at Gothenburg, who makes
a report on the new enterprise, that a
ton of paper worth $50 can be made
from peat at cost ef SIS, leaving a
very satisfactory margin of profit. The
quantity of peat In the world is enor-
nous, Siberia, northern Europe and

A KRIS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Gaudy Moro Datto, With Slave, Pre-
SCENTS Strange Weapon.

SCENTS Strange Weapon.
President Roosevent recently added
TO his collection of oriental weapons
beautiful culebra kris, the gift of Dat
to Sansaluna, son of that Datto Ali
who not many years ago furnished en-
ployment to United States soldiers In
Mindanao until they terminated his
peripatetic career with Krag bullets,
says a Washington special to the New
York Times.
The gift of Datto Sansaluna was es-
pecially appreciated by the president
because it Is a culebra kris. 1t Is call
ed culebra because its curves simulate
more or less the sinuosity of the wrig-
Cling snake This kris is a deadly
weapon, as 1t is sharp on each edge.
1t was Il variegated group of visitors
which brought the gift to the presi-
dent. The datto himself was resplend-
ent in yellow silk jacket, with bril-
liant red sash and white silk breeches
Of the wonderful skin tight construc-
ton In which Moros excel and which
only Moros can manage. 1t takes
Moro the best part of day to change
a pair Of these wonderful trousers,
and nobody else could ever do it. The
national colors were all represented,
the datto being accompanied by an in
terpreter dressed In blue and slave
In red
The introduction of slavery into the
White House itself did not seem to
disturb the president. Datto Sansa-
luna. in fact, has been violating the
thirteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton all summer, for he has been on
exhibition at jamestown, where he
did what he could to perpetuate the
institution of slavery by having some
Of his own men with him. The. presi-
dent, however, did not avail himself of
the opportunity to point a moral to
Sansaluna by declaring the slave free
on the spot, and datto, interpreter and
slave all went away together.

DON'T BELIEVE Ii.

We ran across an advertisement OF
a gasoline engine the other day In
which two horsepower machine was
offered to the public for S75, with the
assurance that it was impossible for 1t
to get out of order. II the price had
been just twice that asked. there
would have been better grounds for
making such a claim, but even in this
case 1t would have been absolutely
false. The best engines get out Of
