u Good Thing for the Farm Butter
Maker to Let ALONE. ~"

Butter colors are 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.
i. But even if they are harmless, it IL
better to let them alone. Skill is re-
quired In their use, and it is difficult
for the unskilled butter-maker to get
the same shade Of color in different
patches of butter. In the creamery it
is different, as so much butter is made
that the use of the coloring 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
uniform product day by day. So the
use Of vegetable coloring matter in
the creamery can hardly be con-
demRed; 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 a very deep yellow color. and
with other cows it is so light as to
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.
It is true, however, that some OF
the best Durham COWS produce cream
very light in color, and when man
has q good cow of this kind he can.
not afford to discard her, just because
of the lightness of the color Of her
butter-fat. He can help himself by
keeping other COWS that will mako up
for the deficiency.
The color of farm butter 10 mat
ter of sentiment only, and with some
consumers it counts for nothing.
While a man has private customers
for his butter, he will have no trou-
BILE on account Of color, so long az
he lets artificial coloring matter alone.
If a person is selling butter on the
open market, the possession of good
color does go some distance in secur-
| ing sales.
II after all farmer determines to
use butter colors in the making up Of
his farm butter he should reduce its
use to a science and learn to always
use the same proportion. This is not
an easy thing to do; for 1t is hard to
use little enough Of the butter color
in small batch Of butter.
The feed of the COWS has some
bearing on the color of the butter,
and it is this that sives to June but.
ter its high color. The cows are at
that time receiving a very full ra'
ton of succulent green grass, and
the green color in the grass comes out
in the butter-fat as yellow OF . pro.
nounced shade. Good clover hay
cured in q way to retain it's original
green color helps some in keeping
fall and winter butter of good color

GEORG|E'S CONVICT SYSTEM
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE TO
MAKE SEARCHING INQUIRY.
Tales Of Cruelty and Graft in Penal
Camps Throughout State-Hear-
ing This Week.

ATLANTA, Ca, August 3.-With tales
of cruelty to convicts, stories OF graft
in convict camps throughout the state, ana
particularly in the vicinity of Atlanta. the
special investigating committee of the
Georgia legislature will resume Its ses-
sion today to find. If it can, where and
when cruelty and graft originated The
Georgia state legislature. which appointed
this committee, will adjourn In ten days
Before that time 1t wants bill to relieve
the convict lease system in the state, but
there is not the slightest indication that
the special committee will have dug every
snake from under rock before adjourn
ment takes place.
There have been tales of whippings in
convict camps tales of the killing OF con-
victs, of poor food. of no housing In WIN
ter, when men were forced to eat under
trees without shelter during the hard
months of the year. but the stories are by
no means complete. and it Is expected
that many prominent citizens Of the state.
members Of this and former legislatures.
will be called upon to relate what they
know of the Chain gang and its treat
ment by lesseeS.
One of the men most prominently men
toned in the evidence has been Jake c.
Moore, formerly chief warden of the Geor-
gia penitentiary system. He will appear
before the investigating committee today.
Charges of all kinds have been made
against him the witness stand in the
investigation, and he has prepared an
elaborate defense. His counsel will de-
clare that he cannot be fmpeached, as he
has never been an officer of the state.
never having been required to take an
oath of office, and never working under
an act making appropriation for his office
His counsel will assert that in allowing
Moore to discharge duties which should
have been discharged by the prison COM
mission the commission was violating the
law.
Alleged Cases of Graft.
The evidence during the last week was
to the effect that Moore was the only
man who visited the convict camps regu
larly. There has been testimony that
the wardens have accepted money from
the lessees of convicts. Moore was in
the courtroom Saturday without the
knowledge Of the investigating committee
until toward the close, when he made
statement that he was ready to take the
stand.
Other leading witnesses. including DR..
w. B. Handy. a partner of Moore in the
brokerage business and Col James w.
English, jr, will also be heard this week.
Later the prison commission will be
heard In Its own defense. In the mean
time the auditing of the books of the
state prison commission is progressing.
mass meeting of citizens was held
yesterday in this city to consider the con-
Wet lease system.
The resolutions adopted urge the senate
and house of representatives to ter
inmate the present system. and ask each
city and county in the state to take SIM
liar action.

or tasted bad enough half to choke the

Some folks who don't know about
that new way of washing think that wash
day must be day of seething suds, scald-

But Fels-Naptha is converting these
people who have been tied to the not
good-enough method.
You see there is a way to wash
clothes summer or winter in cool or luke

strength, your time and your temper, and
preserves the garments from the ruinous,
