"Mind Your P's and Q's."

There are two accounts of the origin
of the expression Mind your P's and
Q's." According to one, it arose from
the early method used in public houses
of charging customers for the amount
of beef they had consumed on credit.
P stood for pint, Q for quart, and as
the scores were settled weekly, it was
necessary for the topper to watch his
P's and Q's.
According to the other story, the
phrase owes its origin to the difficulty
the printers devil has experienced
from time immemorial in distinguish
ing between the lower ase P's and Q's
of the Roman type. The similarity
between the two letters is so great,
particularly when they are reversed
as in the process of distributing, that
the printers apprentice is always
warned by the foreman to mind his
P's and Q's."-The Sunday Magazine.

Rise of Two Street Waits.

The accidental meeting in Kansas
City a few days ago of two ex-gov-
errors seems to illustrate the oftre.
peated statement that "the republic is
opportunity" Fifty years ago two
street waits of New York did not seem
to have a fair start in the world. John
Brady was, as he says. "a little Mick"
with no home but the streets, and
ANDY" Burke had the same home.
They were friends. Sent as homeless
boys to an institution on 'the island"
they heard an official read a letter
from another waif who had been sent
to Indiana. The letter told of the won
ders of farm life and impressed them
so deeply that they clambered aboard
a train for the west. Burke reached
North Dakota, where in the course of
years he was elected governor. Brady
went to Alaska, where after striking
1t" he was appointed governor.

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. B. d. Wool
sci, manager of the Tully farms
dairy, has taken a good deal of pains
to have the milk and it's surroundings
perfectly clean. The usual precau-
tons relative to washing the cows
have been observed. Mixers are re-
quired to put on each day freshly
Numbered and sterilized suits, and to
wash their hands before milking each
cow, says H. H. Lyon, in Hoard's
Dairyman. These and similar precau-
tons are carefully observed, and all
rules calculated to have for their OBJ
ject the production of cleaner milk,
are enforced every time. 1t was not
expected, however, that absolutely all
DdSlclio touiu NC hCpN Oul, anu II was
a 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 a 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?.

indeed it is where only usual condi-
tons exist. Then he tried the machine.
and the result was as stated, perfect.
ly sterile milk. l did not learn
whether this was a new machine that
was used or whether it had been in
use before. If the latter, this exper-
iment goes far to answer the ques-
ton: Can the tubes and the machine
be kept perfectly clean?"

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

The popular taste for cheese in this
country has changed during recent
years from a thoroughly cured, highly
favored cheese to a 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 a 32-degree
temperature and was well broken down
but almost without flavor. The third
lot had been carried in the factory cur
ing and then held in storage at
40 degrees for several months, and
had a pronounced flavor. 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 % selected the
cheese with the high flavor. 1t ap-
pears from this that a mild cheese,
either cured or uncured, is now pre-
ferred by most buyers.

THE sILo.
Information by L. A. Clinton, Director
Storr's Experiment Station.

/. For general use we find a silo IA
feet in diameter and 80 feet high to be
a very satisfactory size.
2. The bottom of the silo should be
on a level with the feeding floor,
where the cows are to stand. | would
never dig a pit for the purpose Of
storing silage. It is far cheaper to
get the increased capacity by making
the silo higher rather than &c 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 1t
has to be lifted In order to get it out
OF the silo. The only a of remov-
ing this obstacle is to dig a 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 dificulty aris-
ing from the presence of carbonic
acid in the part Of the silo below the
ground.
5. The most frequent mistake made
In the construction of silos is not max.
ing them air tight. 1t is absolutely es.
sential for the sIlage to be kept in
an air-tight silo 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 walls should be scraped and an
application of coal tar given.
A well-built silo does not need any
special treatment each year in order
to keep it in good condition. If the
inside is given a fresh coat of hot
coal tar the walls will be preserved
We prefer a round stave silo to all
other types of wood silos. We prefer
a wooden silo to either a concrete OF
brick, believing that the silage is. bet
ter preserved where it comes in con
tact with wooden walls.

DAIRY NOTES..

If the heifer calf shows incipient
horns, use a stick of oaustic potash
and water on them and kill the horns,
then they won't grow.
When drying cows off give them dry
food and milk occasionally only, max
ing intervals between milkings longer
and larger. Feed no Stops.
Cows forms habits quite quickly.
Teach them to stand in their stalls
while being MIXED and they will soon
respond by giving their milk freely
when put in the stable.
1t is astonishing how civilized a
member of society 1t makes of a bull
If he has to work like other folks
and is not kept away from his fellows
as though he was a criminal.
One thing is essential in growing
good dairy cows as it is in good beef
breeds, and that is in keeping psre
bred dairy type sires at the head of
the herds.

to the expense of furnishing a full
sized house and they don't want the
work and trouble of keeping it up.
Small families are suitable subjects
for sympathy because they look lone
some, but they do look a great deal
more comfortable in a neat little cot
tage house than when they under
take to scatter themselves through
the different rooms of a more preten-
tious habitation.
Lots of men and women fool them
selves by building a house several
times larger than they really need.
They do it out of pride. They want
an opportunity to show off and they
generally get disappointed. They can
exploit themselves alright enough, but
where they get left is in the satisfac-
ton of lording it over their less pros
porous but more sensible neighbors.
