Austin, Texas, Jan. 1S.-The
state has laid it's hand on seventeen
more cars of the Union Tank Line
company, defendant in the Stand
ard Oil antitrust suits, and now has
total of sixty-six cars of that COM
pany impounded in this state, but
cars will probably average $500
each in value, making total of
The receiver, Guy A. Collett, is hav-
ing a list made of the cars, with a
number and location, with a view to
making them earn something. The
cars are located in various railroad
yards of the state, and the railroad
companies are obeying the injunc-
ton of the state courts not to re-
move the cars from the state or the
jurisdiction of the state courts.
AS soon as the receiver lists them
and locates all of the cars they will
probably be leased to some company
authorized to take them and which
can make a satisfactory bond for
their value and to return them in as
good condition as they were receiv-
ed.

DAIRY SCHOOL COURSE.
II Is Absolutely Essential to the Man
Who Would Run Creamery.

The day is past when a full-fledged
butter or cheese maker could be pro-
duced in two or three months. and
even an apprenticeship of year In
good factory is not any longer con-
sidered sufficient for the man who is
to take charge of a creamery or
cheese factory. and do the right thing
by his employer In these days of
strong competition, 1t is absolutely
necessary for the butter and cheese
maker to be as well informed as it is
hold his own. and course at one
of the dairy schools will mean a
great help to him; in fact, he is
seriously handicapped without such
a course. That is not saying that
the old butter and cheese maker, who
never went to dairy school. is not
in many cases as competent as the
one who did, says the Northwestern
Agriculturist, he oftentimes is, and
sometimes great deal better, but it
should be remembered that he
started in when the factory way of
making butter and cheese was quite
new one, and by keeping his eyes
open and doing more or less ex-
perimenting at the expense of his
employers, he was enabled to make
of himself Il first-class man. Many
of his class to-day realize the i'm
portance of dairy school course,
and, as of late years. goodly num-
Der of the students in the school this
winter will be found to be old, en-
perienced makers. Surely. if such
men can and do derive any benefit
from a dairy school course, the
younger men derives still more.

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well with Change OF

A great scientist has said we can put

body properly.
To do this the right kind of food. of

features poisons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds Of food
stuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.

BUTTER coLoRs.
A Good Thing for the Farm Butter
Maker to Let Alone.

Butter colors are a good thing for
the farm butter maker to let alone.
declares the Farmers Review. Some
OF the coloring compounds that
have been put on the market in the
past have been made of coal tar, and
without doubt many butter colors are
still on the market that are made
from this material. Colors derived
from coal tar are supposed to be poi
sonous, and some of the states have
prohibited their use.
But even if they are harmless, it Is
better to let them alone. Skill is re-
quired in their use, and 1t is difficult
for the unskilled butter-maker to get
the same shade of color in different
patches of butter. In the creamery 1t
is different, as so much butter Is made
that the use of the colorng matter
can be reduced to exact proportions.
In the creamery, milk is received
from all kinds of patrons and all
kinds of COWS, and the artificial col
oring makes it possible to turn out
a uniform product day by day. So the
use of a vegetable coloring matter in
|
demned for by it alone is uniform
ity of color possible.
But on any single farm the color OF
the butter will be uniform, as the milk
comes from the same COWS all the
time. Cows differ greatly as to the
color of their cream. With some COWS
it is of very deep yellow color. and
with other cows it is so light as tC
be almost colorless. The color fac
tor is largely matter of breeding. A
man can improve the color Of his but
ter by using for breeders only the
cows that produce milk of good color
1t is true, however, that some OF
the best Durham cows produce cream
very light in color. and when man
has a good COW of this kind he can
not afford to discard her, just because
of the lightness of the color of he'
butter-fat He can help himself b,
keeping other cows that will make W
for the deficiency.
The color of farm butter is mat
ter of sentiment only, and with some
consumers it counts for nothing
While man has private customer:
for his butter, he will have no trou
BILE on account OF color. so long a.
he lets artificial coloring matter alone
If a person is selling butter on the
open market the possession of goot
color does go some distance in secur
ing sales.
If after all farmer determines tt
use butter colors in the making up o
his farm butter he should reduce 1t:
use to a science and learn to always
use the same proportion. This is no
an easy thing to do; for it Is hard t.
use little enough of the butter colo
in a small batch of butter.

bearing on the color of the butter
