Eject of Freezing on Butter.

series of trials were made at the
Vermont Experiment Station, wherein
milk was divided into two lots, one-half
allowed to freeze and the other ham
died in the usual manner: then churn-
ed, the butter worked and scored:
Neither Swimming, ripening nor churn-
lhg appeared to be impaired. Not so,
However, with the scoring. The aver
age scores of two sets of fifteen lots
each were: Frozen butter, 49,; nor
mai butter, $50. Freezing tended very
slightly to lower the grade Of the but

The CROP Mortgage System.

AS every informed person knows, the
chief trouble, ut the bottom Of almost
all the other troubles, is that many
Of the raisers of cotton are in debt.
1t is remarkable fact that many cot
ton raisers continue in debt (about q
year behind the world) as long as they
live or course the insufficient price
Of cotton has had much to do with
this but not all. The policy of adher-
ING to cotton whether it be low or
high in price also has to do with 1T.
Whatever the cause, the fact is fully
agreed upon. 1t is further conceded
that if the raisers of cotton were as
nearly upon a cash basis as men in
other lines usually are they could then
assert some authority in fixing the
price of cotton, because they could hold
it until the terms suited them.-Gal-

Protection of River Banks.

forests are very efficacious in the pro-
lection of river banks from undermine
ing and steep slopes from sliding. The
exact reverse Is the case, says the En-
g1neer. AS every river engineer knows,
nothing Is more disastrous to a river
bank on an alluvial stream than heavy
trees This is due partly to the great
weight, but in large part to the sway
Ing effect of the wind and the enor-
nous leverage of the long trunks, which
pry up the ground and facilitate the
tendency to undermining One Of the
regular policies Of river control is to
cut down these trees for a distance
back from the edge of the bank wher-
ever complications with private owner
ship do not prevent. Snags and DRIFT
wood In the channels have always been
among the most serious obstacles to
navigation on streams flowing between
forest-covered banks. Likewise where
railway or highway grading cuts the
skin of unstable mountain slopes, the
presence Of large trees Immediately
above tends powerfully to loosen the
ground and cause it to Slide and in
such cases it is necessary to cut down
the timber

The Colors of Eggs.

A. r. Norwood, of the Leicester
(England) Museum, remarks that the
colors of birds eggs can, in a large
number of cases, be traced to the ne
cessity of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting In holes in trees, or in dark sit
uations, like owls, woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on or
near the ground lay eggs of an olive
green or brown ground color. The eggs
of grouse, ptarmigan, and so forth re-
semble the heather among which they
are laid. Those of the ringed plover,
little tern and oyster-catcher resemble
the sand and shingle of the beach.
The lapwing's eggs closely simulate
bare soil or dried bents. The young
chicks show similar protective" colors.

total investment will be something over
$4,000, as he paid $4,000 for the lots, re-
moving from them a number OF tumble
down houses which have been an eyesore
for years. The original plan was to build
flats costing $4,000 to $751; 900, but Mr..
Bacon has received several offers for the
lots and decided they were too valuable
to build anything but the best of buildings
on and decided on the 1900 building. The
investment of $36.0o of Sioux City money
in Omaha was secured by ]. H.. Oleson of
the Payne Investment company, who was
formerly a Sioux City real estate dealer.

MAN is INJURED BY A TRAIN
Chris Christensen, About whom Little
Can Re Learned, il Run Down
by the Burlington.

Chris Christensen, whose place of residence
in Omaha is yet unlearned. was struck
Wednesday forenoon by the Burlington
freight westbound No. 70 at Thirty-second
and II streets, South Omaha. and is lying
probably fatally injured at the South
Omaha hospital.
The train. of which Gus Rogers was en-
gineer and r.. L. Mason conductor, was
Just leaving Omaha on the regular sched-
ule. AS II came around the curve to the
bridge over the Northwestern railroad at
Thirty-second and A streets. the engineer
saw Just in front. at the middle Of the
bridge, a man walking. He gave the sig
nal and stopped with the emergency stop,
but the engine moved far enough to hit
Miller and knocked him down.. The pilot
pushed him a short distance and partly
rolled over his head. The left side OF his
scalp was torn off and the skull frac-
tured. His sternum was considerably
crushed. When taken from the engine he
was thought to be dead and the coroner
was called to take charge. When the am
bulance arrived he was found TO be alive,
so was taken to the hospital. He was
given immediate attention. II is yet too
early to predict a recovery or the re-
verse.
The man was carrying a grip and APP
peared to be a laborer Just leaving town.
He had no money nor anything OF great
value. A letter was found in
his pocket containing his name. He has a
son in East Omaha, c., W. Christensen. He
belongs to a Danish brotherhood OF Oshkosh
Wis., which he had recently sent his full
dues. The letter in his pocket was a re-
eeipt for the dues.

HEAT MAKES PEOPLE STUPID
So Unusual in Omaha that People

Omaha is so used to moderate, even

ficult for people to adjust themselves to It.
Never before in three days have 30
many people Numbered in front Of street
cars, carriages n automobiles at Six
tenth and Farnam Streets" said the po-
iceman on the beat. THE heat seems to
make people so stupid they can hardly
walk along the street without running off
the sidewalk or being run over. Even the
horses seem to be stupid and would try
TO walk straight through a street car or
over a street sweeper"

In time to prevent running over a street
sweeper who was moving his cart alons
lazily and had his hat pulled down over

breathe freely after seeing the close es-
cape of the street sweeper, until a motor
cycle with a tin box on the front, climbed
the curb in front Of the New York Life
building and stopped by hitting the iron
railing in front of Victor Whites coal
office, pnseating the rider but not injurtng
him. Then a b-aggageman started across
the street in front of a street car, turned
his horse too short and the animal fell tc
the pavement, blocking traffic until the
harness could be taken off.

zlmman to lower 1t at least $4,000 be

This he says he will do II he sscertains
that the city can get along on the lower
levy next year. He says he wants to look
into the matter thoroughly before making
his decision and to be sure he is right be-
fore taking any action.
For one thing. 1 want to find out II the
city is liable to have any Judgments to pay

year we had nearly $50, 900 to pay on old Juds &

next winter toward changing the charter.
II It we're not that we had a balance this
last spring with which to take up out

THE crops of the uplands will far mors
than offset any loss by too much water in
the iowlands," said W. L. Park Wednesday
on his return from a trip across the state.
"Only about 16 per cent OF the Nebraska
land is low lying and / estimate that where
the heavy rains have injured the crops on
the lowlands ! per cent, those same climatic
conditions have bettered the crop on the
higher lying lands over 10 per cent. The
growing crops of Nebraska certainly look
fine"
Rainfall last week was general on the
Nebraska lines OF the Burlington except on
the Schuyler line and the A~shlAnd-sioux
City line, and from York to stromsburg.
Corn has consequently made splendid prog
ress and the indications are about the
same as for the week before. The tenn
perature was generally high and favorable
for corn.
In spite of the reports to the contrary the
general superintendent reports:
Il do not recall a season before in which,
as in this year, there is po report Of dam
age to small grain by rust. blight or pest.
No report has reached me this year in
dicating damage from any Of these
sources"
Spring wheat will give an average yield.
Oats are said to be OF excellent quality
and will average about thirty-five bushelG
TO the acre. This should make the crop Of
great value. especially as there was N,
damage from blight or rust. The potato
crop Is good. All kinds Of fruit Is yielding
better than anticipated and the prospects
are good for fruit which has not yet ma
tured. The second crop Of alfalfa was en-
cellent and the prairie hay is ready to cut

SIXTEENTH AND HARVEY SITE

Enterprise VIII Involve nm In
vestment of One MIL
lion Dollars.

st. Louis and Omaha capital will organize
a state bank to be located in Omaha, build
a twelve-story building and do a general
banking business.
Options hRve been taken on two lots, but
the building probably will be located on
the southeast corner lots at Sixteenth and
Harvey streets. as negotiations already
have been opened with George e. Co. This
corner was originally selected by the Union
Pacific Railroad company for the new head
quarters building, but the railroad company
and owners failed to come to an agreement.
The organization OF the state bank and
erection OF the building involves $1,000. 900.
From $3.50, 900 to $4,000 will be invested in
lots and It is planned to capitalize the bank
at something near $500, 900.
Local men who will be directors are David
Cole. Howard H. Baldrige, f. d. wead,
George Kelly, Monroe c. Steele and Joseph
r. Lehmer. 1t is the plan for Mr.. Steele
to become manager of the bank. He is at
present vice president OF the Hobbs &
Jones company, wholesale grocers, and is
a relative Of the st. Louis business men
who propose putting their money into
Omaha.
1t is understood the capitalists Of st.
Louis who will invest in the bank ana build
ing in Omaha already own a big trust COM
pany in 81. Louis, and the state bank in
Omaha will do as near a trust ompan
business as the state laws will permit. It
will, It is given out, conform In every way
to the law, doing a general trust ompan
business under the banking laws, a pro.
vision which has been responsible for driv-
ing trust companies from Nebraska.
THE success OF the institution means a
number of industries for Omaha which
would now like to have their bonds under
written by some responsible Nebraska in
stitution," says a man on the inside.
