HOW OLIVE OIL IS MADE.
Fruit Is Crushed to a Paste From
Which the Oil Is Pressed.


The finest olive oil in the world is
grown in Tuscany-the garden of Italy
The trees blossom in Tuscany in
the month of May. The fruit begins
to ripen in November and is generally
in full maturity by January.
1t is a risky crop, says What-to-Eat,
maturing as it does during winter
weather A cold snap with frost may
cause great damage to the fruit.
Sometimes the fruit remains on the
trees till May, yielding pale, very
thin oil, appreciated in some quarters,
but which speedily develops rancidity.
The process of extracting the oil is
simple in the extreme; the fruit is
first crushed in a mill to a uniform
paste, then the paste is transferred to
circular bags or receptacles made of
vegetable FIBRE A pile Of these are
placed in a press and the exuding oil
flows il..o a collecting tank below.
Essential conditions are that the
mill should not revolve too fast, or it
will overhead the olive paste and give
bad flavor to the oil; that the bed of
the mill should not be of metal for
the same reason.
Also the degree of pressure, when
the object is to get the finest quality
of oil-"oil from the pulp" as the term
runs-must not be excessive. The fin
est olive oil is essentially cold drawn
oil. Heat is prejudicial to quality.
However, when all possible care has
been taken in the process the fact re-
mains that olive oil can be made only
from freshly gathered, perfectly sound,
ripe olives of the proper kind. The
big fat olives of hot, subtropical eli
mates can never yield a delicately flaw
ored oil.
The newly made oil must be al
lowed to settle. 1t is then clarified
simply by passing it through purified
cotton wool in suitable filter. Really
new olive oil calls for no other treat
ment whatever, chemical or otherwise,
to render it fit for the table. On this
point it is as well to be clear, as ref
erence has been made before now to
processes for refining olive oil as to
obtain specially fine quality-one
might as well try to paint the lily or
adorn the rosei"
After being brought to America the
clarified oil is preserved in warehous-
es in large slate lined tanks, holding
up to 10000 gallons each, wherein the
oil is maintained at an equable tenn
perature. For bottling and can filling
purposes it is transferred by pipes
from these large tanks to other small
er tanks in the packing rooms.

THE FARMERS FRIENDS.

When some years ago an interna-
tional conference on bird protection
was held in Paris, the members sage
ly agreed that the beneficial species
should be preserved, but because of
the ignorance of the food of birds
they could not agree which were
beneficial.
Contrary to old-fashioned beliefs,
the Biological Survey states that,
with the exception of three species
of bird-eating hawks, not another
American bird is wholly injurious.
The great bulk of our birds do so
much more good than harm that they
are OF substantial benefit to agri-
culture.
Forty-three species, for instance.
particularly swallows, orioles and
nighthawks, eat the boil weevil. Half
the food of cuckoos and orioles has
been proved to be caterpillars, the
stomach of single cuckoo revealing
ESQ caterpillars. Fifty-seven species
of birds have been found feeding on
Ine OOiOfduO pOldlO USclic, SO14C IL
sects and other destructive forms.
The robin is very valuable insect
destroyer. Through cooperation with
local authorities its sale as a food
has been stopped from markets north
OF the Ohio and Potomac and re-
stricted from the southern States.
The old prejudice against hawks
and owls the Biological Survey COM
bats by showing how they prey on
the hordes Of small animals that raw
age crops, fruit trees and nursery
stock. Every hawk and owl prob
ably destroys yearly at leas. 1000
mice. each one of which so destroyed
would cause the farmer a loss of two
cents per annum. The money value
OF each hawk and owl should be
counted as not less than $40. Even
the fruit-eating birds more than pay
for their keep in other ways by their
work in the garden and orchard

HOPPERS FOR POULTRY FEED

A bulletin which will be issued by
the Department of Agriculture short
ly will show a very ingenious hopper
for use in feeding poultry. In the
dry feeding of poultry, which is at
tracing considerable attention at the
present time hopper, or some sim
liar device for supplying feed is es-
sential. Hopper feeding, according
to j. E. Rice and r. c. Lawry, of
the New York Cornell Station, saves
labor, guards against pnderfeeding,
and makes the keeping of fowls in
large flocks less Objectionable be-
cause it avoids crowding, which is
likely to occur when considerable
numbers are fed a wet mash.
Experiments which have been con-
Quoted at the New York Cornell Sta
tion indicate that for young fowls
of the laying varieties, kept for COM
mercial egg production, the feeding
of the dry mash in a feed hopper
which is accessible at all times dur
Inc the day is to be recommended"
The above authorities have devised
a hopper for use in the dry feeding
Of poultry which has been tested at
the New York Cornell Station. 1t
consists of a galvanixed-iron box, hav-
ing several compartments, with hing
ed cover, and on the front openings
through which the feed can be reach
ed by the poultry. A curved false
bottom separates the upper, or stor-
age chamber of the hopper. from
the trough in the lower part, and is
arranged so that feed falls IN small
quantities into the trough.
Recent experiments at the Cornell
Station have shown that lime and
grit are required at all times by
fowls for the best results as regards
health and production. 1t is essen
tial, therefore, that fowls should have
access to cracked oyster shells of
equivalent material at all times, and
1t seems also desirable that so~e
other grit and perhaps charcoal
should be provided. For this pur-
pose a grit hopper was devised by
the authors, which is large enough
to make frequent filling unnecessary
and is SO constructed that it will keep
clean and will not clog or waste. 1t
is very similar in construction to the
feed hopper. except that it is open
above the trough instead of closed
in, and should not cost, when made
of galvanized iron. not to exceed

NEW USE FOR FLAX.

American farmers devote some -
100000 acres to fax raising, solely
for the seed crop. The straw, out
Of which linen fibre Is made, has al
ways been burned up or thrown away
for the reason that there was no
labor in the United States cheap
enough to warrant its use by the
antiquated methods pursued abroad.
1t is now said that a Massachusetts,
inventor, Benjamin c. Nudge, of the
Massachusetts, Institute of Techno-
logy, has perfected a process that
in the space of IL hours transforms
fax straw into pure linen fibre ready
for spinning. The result of this in
vention will be, it is hoped, to make
a market for the millions of tons OF
fax straw wasted each year. The
Nudge method does not sacrifice the
seed. The entire plant as it comes
from the field is put into the me-
chanical apparatus and the seed sep
arated before the straw is crushed.

Nature and wOman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years ! had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re.
stored health and strength. It il
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women" .
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

NOTES FOR THE FARMER.

Home grown feed is a success
maker.
Dairying will double the value OF
your land shortly. 1t is worth while?
A really good milch cow may. IL
fed judiciously, be given all the food
she will eat.
A comparatively small amount OF
land is needed for dairying, but that
small amount should be managed on
the intensive plan-much in little.
Spring is the time TO provide
against a decrease in the milk from
short pasture. Sorghum will go
through a drought all right.
The most viii not be made from
dairying till a silo is put up and fill-
ed with ensilage. Money can be
made without a silo, but more will
be made with It.
Talk about manure, the life of the
soil, the dairynan always has sup
ply to make soil fertility and bump
er crops: and his crops cost little
in the way Of work on account Of
this fact.
Roughage can be grown on the
farm at an expense of one-half or
one-fourth of what. cottonseed hulls
will cost per ton, and many times
will give better results per pound
than the huils.

LEGS OF A DRAUGHT HORSE.

The construction and set of the
hind legs Of draught horse are OF
vital Importance. A great many Of
the diseases to be found in these re-
gions are largely due to the wrong
set of the limbs. In correctly con-
structed hind limb, viewing 1t from
the side. a line dropped from the
hindermost point of the slope should
strike the top of the hook and con-
tinue parallel with 1t until the pas
tern joint is reached. II the confor-
nation of the leg be such that the
lower part of the leg is thrown more
under the body, thus making 1t more
subject to a strain Of a tendon or
ligament Just below the hook. X Is
termed "sickle-hocked," and 1t is very
likely that it will become curby. The
best footed horses are bred on dry
soils, and that is undoubtedly the
best kind of ground adapted to a
healthy growth of horn. Young
horses require plenty of exercise, and
unless they are allowed it. the growth
of horn, etc, is sure to be defective.
Then the question arises: When
ought horse to be first shod? The
answer is. when the work required
of the animal wears the horn away
faster than it is formed or grown.
or. in other words, so long as the
horn of the foot can stand the wear
required 1t will not need protecting
(shoeing). Moreover. il the young
horses are not shod early, they win
not be worked so hard, and fewer

STUDY THE FERTILIZER BULLE-
TINS.

Each of the experiment stations is
sues a yearly summary showing the
makeup of the fertilizers analyzed
by the station. Those lists are
worth comparison and study by the
prospective buyer who wishes to COM
pare the selling price of the fertil-
izers with the value of the materials
of which they are composed. The
selling price Is nearly always higher
than the materials cost because of
the increased cost of mixing, grind
ing, packing, freight, agents fees,
etc., but the comparison of one brand
with another enables the buyer to
form a rough idea of their compara-
tive worth, without, however, giving
much idea of the availability and spe-
cial fitness of the materials used on
account CT their mechanical condition.
The analysis is of use only in a limit
ed way, but should be taken into
account when comparing the fertil
izers.-American Cultivator.

ton, has reached the stage where the
voters sift the wheat from the chaff Of
sensational publications, what will be
the logical conclusion in the minds
of the voters? II will be:
That the people dc not rule be-
cause the national lawmakers legis.
late 70 suit the trusts. More trusts
exist today than ever, the people suf-
fer more from them, and they prac.
tice more extortion.
2.-That the party in power is the
party through which the trusts rule.
The Republican party is now in power.
1t writes all the national laws. In
speech in the last Congress, Mr.. Sher-
man candidate for Vice-President),
declared that the Republican party
assumed all responsibility for every
thing that has been done and for what
has not been done. That is RIGHT.
The trusts write the tariff laws passed
by Republican votes. If the maqnates
are not punished criminaIly, it is be-
cause Republican officials fail in their
duties. For eleven years the Demo-
Gratis have had no power to frame
Federal laws or to execute a Federal
Z statute. If everything in America is all
right as to Federal laws for eleven
years, the Republican party deserves
the credit. If "evils have crept in"
the Republicans are responsible. The
only hope for change lies in the cleo
ten Of Bryan.
Suppose some individual Democrat
has been employed by trust. He
could not get law passed, he could
not get ian immunity BATH" he could
to nothing effectively for the trusts
unless majority Of the Republican
congressman favored the trust meas
ures. The Republican orators can not
escape responsibility by trying to pick
cut some Democrat who has been en-
pIoyed by trust. Recent disclosures
prove that the people do not rule, but
that the trusts owe their existence and
