It IS essential that the celery should
be washed IN pure water to prevent
the transmission OF disease germs.
Any germ. such as that producing t..
phoid fever. which IS found in contain.
mated water, Is readily carried to the
digestive system Of the consumer and
may or may not produce an attack Of
the disease. according to the strength
Of the person to resist IT, The wash
house and its surroundings should be
kept clean and free from any decom.
posing materials. Shippers and dealers
alike lose sight of the fact that the
edible portion Of celery Is constantly
being exposed to the communicating
effects Of dirty wagons, unclean cars
and dusty markets. Many persons
have discontinued the use Of celery on
account Of the unciean condition in
which 1t is served. This statement
holds good for all vegetables that are
served in the raw state. but It Is espe.
cially applicable to celery.

When we look at milk with a golden
saffron hue we at once say that Is
rich milk, and generally we are not
far wrong because there is great
deal more color in the butter fat than
in the rest Of the milk, yet in many
instances the butter fat lacks color in
large degree, and rich milk may look
SO pale that your eye would say that
it is poor milk The cow makes the
color to order that tinges the milk,
says a writer in National Stockman
and Farmer. The chemist calls the
coloring matter lactocrome, which In
plain English is milk color, but the
chemist Is not supposed to speak plain
English, otherwise we poor mortals
might understand him. The variation
In color Is dependent on breed, feed,
season Of the year, period OF lactation
and the inherent individuality Of the
COW.

The Gonzales Plum.

The Gonzales plum is one of the
very best plums of the Japan hybrids
with one Of our native species. 1t orig
mated at Gonzales, Tex, q few years
ago and has been tested in many parts
of the country with general approval.
The tree bears well and is as hardy as
the average Japan varieties. The fruit
is about the size OF the Burbank, aver
aging one and three-quarter inches In
diameter; is OF mixed crimson and
light red; very good flavor, which Is
much like that Of the true Japan
plnms, but many think it better The
beauty and good flavor of this variety,
together with the satisfactory tree,
make it desirable to grow.~H. II. Van
Deman1in Rural New Yorker.

TO bear 10 mind here that the pasturlng

Emmsr as a Grain Ration.

In an experiment for the production
of baby beef emmer was used as one
of the grain rations. with the result
that the lot fattened on this grain made
an average daily gain Of 1860 pounds,
while the lot fattened on corn made
an average daily gain Of 1884 pounds.
During the grazing period the lot fed
on emmer gained 10 pounds more
than that fed on corn.

Utilization Of WindfalIs.

Primarily the economic usefulness OF
an apple evaporator Is through is
utilization Of wlndfalls and the poorer
grades OF fruit which cannot be mar
keted to good advantage In a fresh
state, and It Is these grades that are
most often evaporated. But the mag
nitude Of the crop also influences the
grade Of the evaporated product in a
decided way. In seasons OF abundant
crops and low prices for fresh fruit
large quantities Of apples that would
ordinarily be bnrreled are evaporated,
and the grade Of stock produced is cor.
respondingly improved. On the other
hand, in years Of scanty crops, when
all apples that can possibly be shipped
are ia demand at high prices. only the
very poorest fruit is eyaporated. as a
rule, thus lowering the grade OF the
output.
