School Children Of Lowell, Mass
*s.. s.s Make Offering OF Pennies

The school children of Lowell,

sary of the birth of the martyred presi-
dent. A shaft Of pink granite. eight

: USE ONLY GOOD SALT.
And Be Careful it Is kept Away from
=. Z Communicating odors.

. Use only good salt in the sailing of
butter. Great care should be taken
in selecting salt for butter-making, as
salt absorbs odors and will then carry
them-sto the butter. Numerous cases
have come to light in which tainted
salt caused taints in butter.
In one grocery the salt was by the
side of the kerosene barrel That salt
was heard from later in the butter of
the farmers, some of which came to
that same grocery and was rejected
because of the Slight smell of kerosene
in it.
In another grocery the salt was in
the same room with pile of Goldfish.
The Goldfish soon had the salt per.
meated with the Goldfish smell. That
salt went into the farm butter in the
vicinity and was heard from in a but
ter show in which butter salted with
that salt was "off in flavor"
For home consumption it does
not make much difference what kind of
salt is used, for the family is general.

butter is to be sold it is far different.

central ditch and the hedge was un-
fit for any kind of traffic, being Sc
ries of small gullies. It is clear that
all the water which falls between the
board fence and the central ditch will
find it's way into the ditch before 1t
flows very far down the hill
The smaller bitches on the hedge
fence side of the road will also over
flow into the middle ditch when the
limit of their capacity is reached. Nat
urally, the middle ditch must become
more and more gully The road is
hollow in the middle clear to the top
Of the hill and the ditch carried not
only the water which fell on the high
way, but also furnished drainage for
a considerable area of farm land to
the east and a smaller scope of ter
ritory on the west. This hill has been

IT II CAN BE DONE.
Prof. Shaw Tells Of Growing Pure
Bred Calves on Skim Milk.

While visiting the farm Of Mr.. w. J.
Landon OF Winona, Mimi, which was
awarded second prize in the Hill con-
test, | saw bunch of pure-bred
Shorthorn calves in pasture that had
every appearance of thrift, writes
: Prof. Thomas Shaw, in Orange Judd
Farmer. I was, of course, pleased to
learn that they had been raised sub
stanualy on skim milk. They were
as large and thrifty as calves of the
age usually are reared on the dams.
Inese calves were reared as follows:
'iney were given new milk until three
3 10 four weeks old. They were then
changed to skim milk, taking about
tnree weeks to make the change from
all new milk to all skim milk. Al
soon as the change was begun they
were given a certain amount of lin
seed cruel. 1t is made by mixing
ground Oil meal in boiling water and
adding as much as is necessary to the
milk. The amount to add is deter
mined by the influence which it OK.
erts on the digestion.
Meal is added in the dry form. This
Is fed along with alfalmo meal. The
grain mixture is composed of about
equal parts of barley, oats and bran,
the two first named being ground.
They are literally fed of this food and
make good growth on it. They are
plentifully supplied with green food
at the same time, indoors or out.
The difference in the cost between
rearing calves thus and on the dams
is very marked. Instead of giving it
to the calves the milk of the dams
is made into butter. They are kept
producing thus for nine or ten months
IN the year, and they breed more reg
ularly than COWS not thus managed.
The calves have no check after being
weaned, as they sometimes have when
reared on the dams.

Two Systems of Pasteurizinq.


There are two systems of pasteuriz.
ing milk in use at present-the inter-
mitten or discontinuous system and
the continuous flow system. The diff
ference in the efficiency of the two
systems, in which the milk Or cream
is put into a closed machine aud held
at the desired temperature: for a given
time, has a decided advantage in the
efficiency of work done over the con-
tinuous system. The latter system
is used almost exclusively in large es-
adjustments where great amount OF
milk is handled. The reason for this
is probably that the cost of pasteuriz-
ing large amount of milk or cream is
less when this system is used than it
would be if the intermittent system
wera employed. But if the quantity
of milk or cream handled is not too
large and a product with good keeping
qualities is desired, the intermittent
is undoubtedly the system to be en-
ployed.-E. G.. Meyers.

ufactured on the farm, and this is as it
should be; for, while we teach homo
dairying, still am a great advocate of
cooperative dairying, writes a corre-
spondent of Orange Judd Farmer.
Good butter can be and is made on
the farm, but from lack of skill and
care, or through improper surround
ings, dairy butter very often lacks
the finer quality and body known as
cal" quality. To be a successful but
ter maker requires intellect and physi-
cal strength. -. [

The Captain Had One Too Many

orders, "Starboard, fret" "Port, fire!"

Army to Use OIeomargarine.

It is reported that the army is to
use oleomargarine instead of butter. It
is further said that butter has not
been previously issued as part of the
ration and that the soldier will find
himself just that much ahead in get
ting the oleomargarine. We think that
the sentiment in this country is that
the soldier should be furnished butter,
and not oleomargarine, and we know
that this is the sentiment prevailing
among the farmers.

Ernest Dudley Chase, a young man

had conference with Bella D. Pratt,
the well-known Boston sculptor, who
was a pupil of st. Gaudens, the crea-

of a granite shaft, with bronze bas-

this was a novel but perfectly prac-

for $4,000.

The Tennesseeans.

Few attractions have lasted as
long and been as permanent a
success as the Slayton Tennessee
ans. For fourteen years Mr..
Slayton has managed this colored
company which has contained
most of the great colored singers
of the times. When people go
to hear a colored company, the
motive is purley one of pleasure;
why do people go miles to see a
negro camp meeting or to go to
a negro church? Because the
arient temperament and child
like enthusiasm OF the black race
amuses them; because ever
civilization signs for unveneered
naturalism, and the negro is
natural; that is, he is natural in
his musical and entertainment
work. He is by nature dra

Last week the REPUBLICAN
told of the sudden disappearance
of Leslie Clay, on Sunday, Jan.
Goth.
The day preceding he had
been kicked on the head by a
horse and, although not injured,
apparently, at the time, it was
thought to have caused him to
lose reason and that he had wan
dered away in fit of temporary
Observation-Disclosures, and such
proved to be the case.

telegram was received from him
dated at Divon, Illinois, 90 miles
west of Chicago, saying, do not

Money was at once wired, as
requested and he reached Ansley

the farm to 60 to Ansley on that
Sunday morning he does not re-
member anything until he came
to himself again at Dixon and,
