Mrs. Clarence Burns Reports What

to Improve Their Indus

Local members are hopeful that Omaha
may get the annual convention of the Ma
tional Wonen.s Christian Temperanc,
union next year. indianapolis. Minneapolis,
Seattle and several other discs are maxi
ing every effort to secure the meeting, hui
owing to its central location and the fact
that it has never had the convention local
women are told that Omaha has a very
good chance. The convention is one of
the largest annual gatherings Of women and
its cnt rtainment will be a big thing. The
meeting has about 500 delegates and al
most as many more visiting women ana
extends through an entire week. 1t is sec
ond only to the biennial Of the General
Federation of Women's clubs and occasions
the gathering Of many of the most bril-
liant women Of the country.
The educational ana moral value of the
convention is generally recognized and n
consequence it has never wanted for a
meeting place; in fact, there is always a
hot contest for the privilege of enterta n
ing it. The mems organizations are lend
ing their co-oI Grafton. Local women are
confident that adequate entertainment can
he found for the delegates and that the
desired coop ration of business men and
others will be forthcoming, and they will
attend the convention at Denver this year
armed with invitations and Inducements as
attractive as any that the other Giles may
offer.
Tn meeting OF the state union will be
held this fall at Hastings.

LESS PAINT AND POWDER
Harmful Cosmetics Being Discarded by
Eastern Society Women.

New York druggists report a great fall
ing off in their demand for rOuges, cos
metics. lotions and other manufactured
"beautifiers.' Whether this tendency Is
a part of the movement for the ineXpen-
sive life, or whether the New York women
have awakened to the harmful after-ef-
fects OF these chemical compounds is not
stated. Anyhow, there is a revival Of the
use Of the old-fashioned home prepare
tions, those that have stood the test Of
time. Here is a recipe for a homemade
face wash that a down town druggist
filled is times in one day: Rose Water,
2 ounces; Eppotone Cskin food, 4 ounces;
Cologne Spirits, l ounce. To make the
face wash put the Eppotone in a pint Of
hot water (not boiling and after it has
dissolved strain and let cool, then add the
Rose Water and Cologne Spirits. The
daily use Of this preparation is absolutely
harmless, and there is nothing better thai

Use, however, there is little prospect Of
things becoming really dull for a time at
least. There is an unusual number Of Wis
iting women in town and they must be en-
tertained, no matter II the weather does
happen to be warm or wet or otherwise in
clement. Practically everything of late has
been done In compliment to these guests,
but because OF the impromptu nature Of
the entertaining society has not appreciated
the real extent OF it. Few invitations have
been issued more than a few days ahead
Of late and the telephone has served to
convey most of these. 1t may be added,
however, that although things have been
informal they have lacked nothing in the
way of details and some OF the parties Of

~prettiest of the year.

From a not altogether promising calen-
dar society developed several affairs last
week that will be remembered among the
smart things of the summer. Several large
luncheon parties at the clubs, at least one
large reception and a score or more of I'M

from Monday until Saturday. The conspic-
uous feature Of the week, of course, was
the lawn fete for the benefit of the Visiting
Nurses association, given on the grounds
of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Caldwell's home. 1t
was a big undertaking., but, with the CO.
operation OF women who are not unaccus-
toned to doing pretentious things, it was
made a brilliant success, socially and fl

Sampllng Cream.

At the recent convention of creamery
instructors the assistant dairy commits
siOner of Iowa very properly called up
the importance of correct samples of
cream, and expressed the opinion that
the taking of inaccurate cream samples
continues to be the cause of conditions
butter makers frequently run up against
in gathered. cream creameries. The i'm
portance of accurate samples goes with
out saying and formerly called out the
studied attention of operators as we'll as
those who supplied the cream. OF late,
however, those who furnish the cream
on the farms have got so hardened to
leaving their cream in the exclusive care
of the creameries, as they have been and
still are managed, that they take what is
apportioned them and say little about it.
So long, therefore, as little complaint is
heard, even creamery managers are liza
bic to grow indifferent to the importance
of continued care over the liability to
error in the taking out of a sample that
shall correctly represent the whole mass
from which it was taken. There is such
a thing as drawing small sample of
cream that will, with very close accu-
racy and near enough for all practical
purposes, represent the cream from
which it was taken. But it requires ex-
treme care on the part of the sampler
that the requirements are strictly carried
out in every case.
There is consta mt danger that this will
not be and is not always done. The per-
son having the work in charge at times
gets in a hurry and fails to exercise the
required care, or he gets careless from
long service in the work and don't care,
or it may be an extremely cold turn in
the weather, and his fingers are cold
and he carelessly let's his sampliug tube
become partially frozen up. Any Of
these Irregularities introduce an error
and some one is cheated.
Thus, at all cream-g gathering factories
and at dairy conventions this matter
should be given frequent and oft-repeat-
ed attention.-Maine Farmer.

Milk Troub le In Portland.

1t looks as though the milk war which
was waged in the vicinity of Portland
two years ago is to be revived. Readers
will recall that about two years ago the
board of health of Portland discovered
that more than ten per cent of the ami
mails supplying milk to the city were
diseased. Aided by the state cattle
commissioners, the board brought about
wholesale examination of cows in the
counties of Cumberland, Oxford, York
and Somerset. This resulted in the kill
ing of about 500 cows out Of the 5000
examined.
Farmers retaliated by advancing the
price of milk and local dealers were
obliged to meet this demand by an ad-
vance in retail price. The board OF
health announced that herds should be
tested annually to keep tuberculosis
from the animals, and August l issued
orders calling for all herds to be tested
the second time. Farmers refused.
The time was extended to October l.
Farmers continued firm and much milk
was sent to creameries. This naturally
greatly inconvenienced milk dealers in
the city of Portland. This has steadily
continued until now, when Portland
milk dealers say milk famine is immi.
nent. The present indication is there
will be a struggle between the board Of
health and the milk dealers.-New Eng.

Cooking Feed for Stock.

Raw food is not in a condition to be
Appropriated to the tissues Of animal
life. The experiment, often tried, has
proved that is or 10 pounds cooked corn
equal so pounds raw corn for hog feed
ing. Prof. Mapes tells us in the above
sentence that it takes 2 1-2 times as
much raw corn as cooked corn to pro-
duce a given gain with hogs. This is
very important, IL true. First as to
coarse feed, such as straw, hay, corn,
etc. From 1850 on to about 1870, there
were many establishments in this coun-
try where coarse feed was steamed or
cooked for stock. 1t is significant that
none of these establishments long main
tanned the practice. Cooking feed for
swine has been thoroughly tested by
many stations. Averaging the results,
we find that with such grains as corn,
corn meal, peas, barley, rye, middlings,
there is an actual loss Of per cent in
feeding value by cooking the feed. Ex-
perience, has shown, however, that po-
tatoes must be cooked, If fed In quantity
to give satisfactory results.

Useful Comparisons.
A DAIRY FARMERS MEDITATIoNs IN A
LARGE CITY DEPARTMENT STORE.

A few hours spent in great depart
ment store has a lesson for the farmer.
There are system and order on every
hand. The cashier must at the close OF
the day balance her checks with the
statesmen and with her cash drawer.
How many times do we farmers do like
wise? Each department is distinct in its
order and arrangement. 1t could not be
more so were they separate stores under
separate ownership. Each one must
stand or fall on its own business and
profit; and yet thirty COW dairy, where
differences could be cheaply determined,
is kept as unit. There may be profit
from the whole, but what cows are max
ing it? Let us suppose that big gro
Gerry department was kept running in
definitely at the expense Of the silks and
drygoods; what would you or say as
dairymen?
Don't let us forget for moment that
the great fundamental problem in our
agriculture to-day is lack of business
management and ignorance. We are
not wholly to blame. We have grown
up in the work and not been educated to
it. That is why we run things so loose
ly, and in a great measure why we do
not get on better in dairy and farm man.
agement.
These department store buyers agree
that the pure food law is working
smoothly and that trade is now adjusted
to it; no more cottcnseed oil sold for
olive oil. By the way, was reliably in
formed that the sale of pure olive oil is
on the increase, largely to people of
weak digestion and heart action. This
is clearly in line with the advice of
many good medical men, that we are OBJ
tanning our carbohydrates too largely
from sugars and starches and not
enough from fats and oils. / received
another bit of information useful to
farmers, that vegetable oils are rapidly
passing, people again turning to pure
hog lard.
What thinks the cheese producer who
feels that he cannot eat cheese? | saw
no price mark under % cents pound,
and prices ranged up to 65 cents for old
English Stilton.
Let me pause right here and ask every
reader who is doing well, but who is
ambitious and feels by times that he
gets small reward for his labor, to just
stop and figure out the cost of his living
at city prices; cost of horse and carriage,
house rental, church, school, mail and
telephone facilities-from 81 to 80 day
for things in the city which the farmer
gets and knows nothing of the cost.
When l have spell of this sort out
comes the pencil, and our home con-
veniences are figured up on this basis;
and, 10! my income swells enormously
and there comes a feeling Of satisfaction.
