Sleepy Grass of New Mexico.

The grass is known as sleepy grass

Cattle and horses will eat it the first
time they see it. 1t makes them fall to
the ground in their tracks and lie in a
state Of coma for two days. When they
wake up they have no i'll effects from
the opiate. But they will never eat it
again; in fact they will run away if it is
offered to them.
This sleepy grass is not to be CON

a real grass, not unlike the Kentucky

TO PUSH FLOUR CASES.
Sellers of the Bleached Product to Re
Prosecuted

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
not weakened on his stand against
bleached -four, and preparations are be-
ing made to try several cases of this sort
as soon as the department of justice
can get ready for them.
The bleached -four case is one of the
big cases of the department, and caused
long hearing in Washington last year.
1t was shown then that bleaching -four
was common practice. and that it was
accomplished by the use of nitric acid
and special machinery and chemicals
that constituted in the mind of Secretary
Wilson menace to public health.
Many of the bakers who testified at
the hearing said that it was impossible
TO buy unbleached -four on the market,
and that personally they would be glad
if the practice were done away with.
The secretary of agriculture issued an
order that no more bleached -four was to
be admitted to interstate traffic after
June 8 of this year That gave the man
ufacturers six months TO get rid of their
stocks.
There is a great deal of money in
volved in the business, both among the
millers and the manufacturers of the
blea ching machinery. An effort was
made to stop the enforcement of the sec
retary's order by mandamus proceedings.
but the court refused TO grant the order,
and cases will now be made against the
shippers of -four in interstate commerce.

Notified Butter,

Streaky or notified butter may be
caused by the salt, or it may be due
to the working Of the butter The
salt IS so evenly diffused in the finest
kind of butter that, as is shown by a
microscope, every grain is surrounded
by a film Of clear and transparent
brine, which points out the necessity
of avoiding the overworking of the
butter before the salt is added. In
the first working every particle OF
milk should be gotten rid of, but
enough clear water should be left to
dissolve every grain of salt in twelve
hours before the next working. II
this is done there will be but little
danger of streakiness in the butter,
but to get the best results the salt
should be very finely ground.

In all silos the greatest waste oc

the corners, because the air has great

is not packed tightly in the corners
the air fills the interstices and decay
results. With the cylindrical silo the

are the round the stave, the square

better economy of space than round

are most frequently employed within
