DON'T MAKE cHURN FULL.

If the churn is too full, churning will
be a failure, simply because there is
not room enough for the cream to OBJ
tain proper motion. It is not enough
for the cream to slide around the churn
in a smooth and gentle manner. 1t
must fall with a chug and thug, en-
ough to enable the fat globules to come
close enough to each other to unite and
form butter granules.
A desire to save the extra work that
would come from two churnings is fire.
quently RESP onsible for poor results.
The extra quart of cream over and
above the proper amount in the churn
can easily choke the machine sufficient
ly to string out the work to weary
some length. Two quick, easy churn-
ings are better than one long one A
churn half full will do better and quick
er work than one two-thirds full. The
time will be shorter, the butter will
come better and the buttermilk will
show less butterfat, when the churn Is
not overloaded.

ton to the rule against food preserva-
tives and colorings regardless of the
quantity in which they are used is
absolutely unwarranted by the law,
which prohibits the addition of de-
leterious ingredients only when they
render the article injurious to health.
If coloring matter is used in any arti-
Gle of food to an extent making such
food deleterious e reasonable pro-
cedure would be to restrict such use
beyond a specified and safe proportion.
For if ingredients which are harmless
in minute quantity are to be prohibited

articles in common use and the system

TUBERCULOSIS IN HOGS.
(W. D. Hoard.)

The pork crop is of very great i'm.
portance to the dairy farmer and es-
pecally to the patron in the creamery.
1t is through hogs that he utilizeS
nearly all his skimmilk. Now the
question arises: What bearing has this
question on tuberculosis in cows on the
health Of hogs? Hoard's Dairyman was
the first journal to raise this question.
1t did so because of the alarming re-
ports which came from the government
inspectors at the great meat packing
centerS.
These reports were to the effect that
80 per cent of all the tuberculous hogs
came from the dairy districts of the
country. This was almost conclusive
proof that they received the disease
by eating the skimmilk from tubercul-
Gus COWS. If this is true, there is only
one direct conclusion for the dairy far
mer to come to. He must see to it at
once that his COWS are clear Of disease.
To do this there is but one path to
follow. He must have his COWS tested.
If any are tuberculous they must be
got rid Of at once and the farmer must
face tthe proposition of clearing his
farm of tuberculosis and keeping it
clear. In1S Is neither ul1IlculL nor
expensive job unless he has been so
unthinking and careless as to let the
disease get a foothold. But the first
thing for any man to do is to establish
safe judgment on the matter. This
he cannot do unless he listens to the
best evidence going on the subject.
DR.. c.. A. Herring, demonstration of
veterinary medicine at the University
of California, says:
Calves and hogs fed on milk from
tuberculous COWS soon become infected.
The federal meat inspector, at the West
ern Meat Company's abattoir in San
Francisco, reports that in the last few
years the disease has become com
mon among California hogs. Many
things point to the fact that they
usually contract the disease from milk
and not from another. The disease is
rare in all but dairy hogs. In a pig,
the disease usually develops more ra-
pidly than in a calf"

In May last the German steamer

desperate risks that man will run for

In Relation to the Thaw Case.
With regard to the application Of
the unwritten law to the case Of
Harry Thaw, there are several con.
siderations to be noted in endeavoring
to bring it to bear upon the tragedy
of Madison Square roof garden. II
young Mrs. Thaw had been without
any stormy antecedents, and had been
subjected by Stanford White to indig-
mites and insulting proposals since
her marriage, her husband would have
been justified, according to the terms
of the unwritten law, as understood
abroad, in shooting him, though Of
course it would have been more chiv-
alrous to have given him a chance OF
defending himself instead Of taking
him at disadvantage and unarmed.
But, unfortunately, young Mrs.
Thaw is not without a past; that she
was educated at the cost of White,
and Lad known him first as school
girl, then as model, and finally as a
chorus girl, for several years prior to
her marriage, cannot be denied. Her
relations with White before becoming
Mrs. Thaw, and also her career In
New York and Paris prior to her mar
riage were of nature to debar her
husband from shooting White unless
he had actually caught him in the
very act of insulting her. That at
least is the status of the Tnaw-White
drama from the point Of view of un-
written law.-New York World.

q ENOR ENRIQUE c. CREEL, the
- new Mexican ambassador, will
rank James Bryce, the new British
ambassador. Rumor has 1t that as
soon as President Diaz heard that Sir
Henry Mortimer Durand was to be
recalled by King Edward he urged
Senior Creel to make all haste TO
Washington in order that represen-
tative of a republic might precede at
the United States capital the repre-
sentative of the greatest monarchy on
earth.
Senior Creel did not want to come,
especially not in hurry, but Presi-
dent Diaz has something of kingly
ray about him in getting obedience
to orders, and so his newly appointed
ambassador rushed on to Washington,
and here he is.
Senior and Sonora Creel now are
established in the embassy on street.
It is huge double building admirably
adapted for entertaining purposes, and
the Creels have money enough to en-
terrain. In fact, they are called the
Rockefellers of Mexico.
1t is Sonora Creel who is the real

with his $24,O00,000, is in no sense
pinched for pocket money. Every
cent of his millions, 1t is declared in
Washington. was amassed by his in
dividual exertion, statement that is
taken to mean he made his money
without wringing rascal counters from
the hard hands of peasants, as Mr..

ting 1t.

sss apparent to $200.O00.00O. and her
