Dom Pedro l., Emperor OF Brazil.
was one Of royalty's strong men. On
the occasion of carnival he arranged
matters so that he was standing on the
bow of the royal barge between two of
his stateliest courtiers.
Suddenly. in the midst OF the festivi-
ties the King reached out, grasped a
courtier with each hand, and, after
holding them for a few moments
squirming in the air and begging TO be
released, he relaxed his grip and al
lowed them to drop plump into the
water, amid the frantic applause of tn
huge crowd that had assembled TO view
their monarch. The King joirNd heart
lily in the general hilarity; but what
the drenched courtiers thought about
this exquisite joke is not recorded.

Rusty cans and their effect upon
bulletin Of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ex-
periments indicate that milk hauled in
the poorly timed or rusted cans is ma
terially injured for cheese making, for
In addition to the retarding influence
of the iron on the rennet action and
the naturalization of the acid by the
iron, ii also produces taints or off-flav-
ors. The milk cans used to haul milk
TO our creameries and cheese factories
are too often OF a cheap grade, and
they are used too frequently after they
have become tainted. and the tin be-
comes cracked and checked so that the
iron is exposed and rusts. In these ex-
periments. milk was placed In rusty tin
cans and allowed to stand for different
periods. while other samples Of the
same milk were kept in glass beakers.
Every time that this experiment was
repeated. the milk kept In the rusty
cans gave evidence of retarding influ-
ence on the rennet as compared with
the milk kept in the glass beaker. Milk
which was allowed to stand in iron
utensils for several hours had a pecu-
liar blush color, indicating the pres
ence Of iron in the solution. 1t was
evident that the acid in the milk acted
upon the iron and dissolved some OF 1t.
The maximum quantity of iron dis
solved in the milk ranged from to
~ pounds for every thousand pounds
OF milk.
The Bulletin urges that the managers
of cheese factories and creameries see
that the operator is reliable man,
who will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten-
sils and those of the patrons are in
first-class condition. He advocates the
use of only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been well tin
ned, similar to those used in Europe.
Experience has proven that the cans
Of the best quality, even though they

study OF winabreax..

An effort TO determine the value OF
windbreaks on farms is being made by
the Forest Service of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. At pres
ent windbreaks are planted haphazard
and many do not believe in them. so ii
is time we had some definite informa-
tion on the subject. Ii there Is par
ticular kind Of tree that makes bet
ter protection to crops without doing
any harm we should know it. The
Forest Service proposes to find out
just how much. IL any, and when wind
breaks increase crop yields. Instru-
ments will be used TO measure heat and
cold, moisture and dryness, both above
and below ground; to register the force
Of the wind near the windbreaks and
some distance away; to measure light
Intensity and take note of the effects OF
shade; to register frosts at different
distances from the trees and to keep
account of the effect of windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to
leeward in winter. Many other meas
urements and tests will be made and
elaborate data will be collected by ex-
perts who will have charge of the In
yestigation. Corn will be the first crop
studied behind windbreaks. Corn is O
particularly good crop to experiment
with because it is easily injured by
hot, dry winds, will not stand shading
and is very sensitive to frosts.
If it is found, as is generally sup
posed. that windbreaks are a decided
advantage to crop yields, 1t will be an
easy matter for the farmer to plant
trees In his fence rows or along the
sides of his fields toward the prevail
ing winds and thus protect his crops as
well as produce valuable crop of tim
ber. In view of the fact that our tim
ber supply is rapidly waning, 1t stands
every farmer in hand to plant somt
trees and to maintain the wood lot:
upon his farm, so If windbreaks can bt
used TO advantage. he can easily maki
the trees he plants serve a double pur
pose. The results of the investigation
will be awaited with interest.-Farm

Poultry Items.

Look for lice If the poultry refuse to
go into the roosting house at night.
Lice are the cause of death of more
half-grown turkeys than from any 9TH
er cause.
Foul yards are great sources OF dis
ease. Fowl diseases are also caused
by foul coops and foul drinking vessels.
Make the entrance to the nests from
the back to make them dark, and make
them big enough SO the hens can get In
and out without breaking the eggs.
Almost any breed Of fowls may be
kept within bounds If rightly treated,
even though It Is much easier to con-
fine large breeds than smaller ones.
No one wants eggs that have been
washed; they don't look right. To get
good price for eggs they must be
naturally clean as well as fresh.
II you intend making a success in
the poultry business you must put your
whole heart into the work and become
an enthusiast. 1t requires perseyer-
ance and determination to bring sue.

Oyercrowding or confinement In un.

A simple and effectual way to block
a wagon on a mountain road when
drawing heavy load is to fasten a
piece of 4x4-inch scantling to the rear
axle so that it just drags on the ground
behind the wheel. When the wagon
starts back IT stops against the block.
Fasten the block with heavy eye and
staple near the wheel so that when not
in use it may be swung up out of the
way and hooked to the axle near the
opposite wheel.

A course in life-saving has been in.
stituted among the women students OF
Columbia University for the purpose of
makigg them as adept as men In res

the regular life-saving drill, including
the grips and breaks, towing to shore
and artificial respiration. A fully
dressed girl is thrown into the water at
one end of the swimming tank, and
other girls are obliged to rescue her
from the opposite end and take her
back, which is already done in 81 sec
