STILL SHIP MILK
TO PHILADELPHIA
No Agreement Made to De-

The Philadelphia MIX Shippers
Union, comprising milk shippers from
Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Della
ware. which met in Philadelphia Sat
urday. did not agree not to ship milk
to Philadelphia dealers unless they
paid cents a quart. as was reported.
It was simply decided TO keep the
Wholesale price at IL cents for the
rest OF the month, concurring with the
agreement made in December. although
shippers are sending milk 70 Philadel-
phia By contract at 5 cents a quart
II is stated by milk shippers in this
vicinity that milk cannot rise above
the price of 1-2 cents under present
conditions. MIX. in fact. is being
shipped TO Philadelphia from Delaware
and adjoining Pennsylvania and New
Jersey counties so plenrfully that the
union may be obliged TO set the price
at cents a quart for next month.
The plentiful supply II milk at this
time is directly due 20 the fact that
the corn crop did not mature this year.
A great deal OF the corn was green and
has nodded. This farmers have beon

KAISER MASKED
AT SONS DANCE
Mingled Unknown With the
Guests and Had a Jolly
Time
LEARNED WHAT THEY
WERE TALKING ABOUT

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
KEEL, Germany. Jan. 21.--Dropping
In suddenly. disguised and incognito.
at a masquerade bali at his sons,
Prince Adelberts house here last night,
the Kaiser gave Kiel society a shock
from which IL will take a long time to
recover.
There was no improprlety but the
conversation was a good deal freer
and the gathering decidedly jollier than
would have been the case had the
masqueraders known His Majesty was
among them. Today, not a few court
iers are wondering whether they said
or did anything which may be remem-
bered to their disadvantage.
Adelbert has been stationed at Kiel
as a naval officer for some time and
his house has naturally been the scene
OF the liveliest merrymalSing in the
local smart set. The prince himself
had a few moments warning from his
father but was asked not TO reveal
the latter's identity. His Majesty wore
the costume Of the Great Elector OF
Brandenburg, his own ancestor OF the
seventeenth century. and spent the
early part OF the night mingling In the
gay throng Joking with the women
and exchanging political views with
the men in a way TO bring out the
real thoughts OF those TO whom he
talked.
Toward midnight he suddenly left
the room TO return unmasked for a
moment, there was a gasp OF astonish-
ment, then a rush TO pay homage TO
the monarch. The latter behaved most
graciously, declared he had seldom
enjoyed himself more and remained
until sunrise among the dancers. Des-
pite His Maiestys kindness, many
guests are said to feel rather nervous
and Prince Adelbert to be a good dea
embarrassed over the odd character OF
the visit.

Beans Make Good Piu Feed.

Mixed with other grains, Gull beans
may be fed to sheep and swine. Some.
times they are used for dairy cows. In
tests of feeding swine on culled beans,
it was found that an average gain of
little more than one pound per day
could be made, at cost of about 81. so
per 100 pounds. There is practically
no better way to make use of culled
beans than to feed them to hogs. The
beans should only be fed when cooked,
and to do this, they should be soaked
for several hours before the cooking
Is begun. They can be cooked either
by running live steam into a barrel
containing them or by putting them
into an ordinary feed cooker or pot
over fire. For small quantities the
pot Is more convenient.

THE FARM STOCK.

Improved breeds are most profit
able.
Old horses with poor teeth need
ground grain. Save waste grain by
grinding their feed for them.
It's good plan to have veteri-
marian inspect the teeth before winter
time and do any floating that is neces-
sary.
Too many feed the SOW too much
corn and when the pigs arrive they
are weak, the SOW is feverish, and the
result is only about a half crop of
pigs saved.
! always fatten my hogs on old corn.
In this way / get them to market
earlier in the fall and secure the high
prices, Do not feed old, hard corn to
hogs until it is ground and soaked.
Hogs are apt to get too hot in
straw pile then chill and trouble
begins.
In feeding hay to hogs cut and
moisten it and mix with meal for Al
results.
One ear of corn day and all the
alfalfa hay she will eat will carry a
brood SOW through the winter in good
breeding condition, says ex.Gov.
Hoard, who keeps his that way.

CANkER OR SORE MOUTH.
A Disease Which Is Apt TO Appear in
the Herd in the Spring.

IL usually happens in the spring that
there Is great deal of complaint from
this trouble. The disease is one that
Is quite common In almost every sec
ton of the country and while it has
been noticed that it Is more preya-
lent some, seasons than others, we feel
justified in quoting from Mr.. S. M.
Shepard in his excellent book, 1.-THE
Hog in America" on account of the
number of letters we have recently re-
ceiyed asking for information about
this disease, Mr.. Shepard thinks it
Is usually the result of unhealthful
milk from the SOW or from poison on
her teats obtained by contact with poi
sonous vines or wet grass. He says:
The first symptoms are Jumps on the
sows udder, and sometimes sores;
next will be noticed blisters on the
lip, tongue and mouth of the pig; the
tongue and lips become swollen and
the roof and the sides of the mouth
intlamed and covered with deep red or
white blister spots. Swab the pigs
mouth out thoroughly with a solution
of carbolic acid and water sufficient
ly strong to make the flesh upon the
arm Jingle. Apply with a rag or small
piece of sponge tied on a stick. Strong
sage tea applied in the same way is
good and in addition blow powdered
sulphur through a straw into the
pigs mouth. Battle the sow's teats
and udder with weak solution of
carbolic acid, and keep afflicted lit
tiers away from other pigs"

IHE FARM WATER.
II Should Be Piped In Some Way TO
All Buildings Where Needed.

All farm buildings should be sup.
Piled with water brought underground
In pipes from the source of water sup
ply. The barns as weG as the dwell
ings should be thus supplied. The
cost is small and the convenience
great. Many a farmer is carrying
water year after year not only for his
stock but for the use of the family
when the water should be always at
hand. The chief reason for this Is
the lifelong habit of the farmer, which
he does not see the advantage of
changing.
Recently a case came to the atten-
ton of the writer that shows how a
man will hang to an old condition
when he has no reason for doing SO.
A young man from one of the farms
went to college and got some new
ideas. He studied farm mechanics
and got little taste for mechanical
engineering When he returned to
the farm he saw many things that
might be done to increase the COM
fort of the family and make the work
easier.
One of the drawbacks Of the farm
was the necessity for carrying water
some hundreds of feet to the house
and the barn, and this water had to be
carried in pals. Moreover, during
most Of the year the boys mother
had to carry the water that was used
in the kitchen The father was OPP
posed to any improvements and re-
fused to let the boy exercise his abil-
ity In making improvements.
On the hill little way from the
house was a perpetual spring suffl-
ciently high above the house so that
If a pipe were laid the water would
of itself flow into the kitchen. The
temptation for the boy to utilize this
supply was so great that he could not
resist 1t. So the first time he went
to town he laid In a supply of pipe
and the materials for making joints
and connections, with taps and fau-
Gets. Then he began his work clan
destinely, When his father would be
awaYfor half day or so the young
man would dig trench, lay what pipe
bel could and cover it up again before
hi3 father got home. He continued
THIS till he had laid the pipe from the
spting to the house, had made all at.
ta&hments and had the water running
INTO the sink, where his mother could
lse it at will and without effort.
AT this stage he was no longer able
to keep the secret from the head of
the house. As 1t had gone so far the
father accepted the fact as accom-
Dlished, but he refused permission to
he boy to carry the pipe just little
'urther to the barns. 1t is strange
hing that people will become so "set
n their ways" as not to avail them
selves of natural laws, which were
created to serve them

Cider the National Drink.

When traveller enters a tavern in
Rouen, France, or any of the towns or
villages about it, cider is brought to
him as matter of course; it is the
universal drink. Unfortunately the
ordinary brand is not first-class. The
status of cider as local beverage is
illustrated by the fact that the cider
