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

BOMB CASES ON TRIAL.
Sensational Disclosures Are Promised
at Chicago.


Chicago, Sept. 14.-Sensationa dis
closures are promised in the trial of
Vincent A. and Joseph Altman, charg-
ed with malicious mischief and arson.
A score of witnesses will be brought
by the state in an attempt to prove
that both were guilty of causing the
explosion and fire which wrecked the
Standard Sash & Door company's plant,
May %, 1908, and their testimony, it
is claimed, will throw considerable
light on the entire series of bomb out
RACES which have taken place in Chi
cago in the last two years.
Secretary John ]. Britain, of the
Amalgamated Carpenters union, said
today that members of the union would
do all in their power to aid the defense.
Assistant States Attorney Benjamin
j. Short, who will have charge of the
prosecution, said that the reason the
"Bomb 81" case would not be heard
first was that States Attorney Way
man believed it was not as important a
case as that of the Standard Sash &
Door company's explosion and fire, and
that the penalty was not so great.
Conviction in the case to be tried
first means a penalty of 29 years i'm
prisonment, he said, "while in the
Bomb 81 case there is no arson charge
and the penalty for the offense is only
ten years."

Comment has arisen over the appar-
ent decadence of sugar-beet culture in
the farming section about Toledo.
Ohio. Where a few years ago dozen
fields could be seen without travelling
more than a mile or two. now scarcely
one exists. A farmer reported he saw
but one field between Toledo and Mon
roe. though only a few years ago this
section produced heavily. Several fac
tors have arisen to work against beet
raising. In the first place. labor and
care considered. the present high
priced cereals are considerably more
profitable; again. farmers have begun
to learn that beets tax soil vitality
about as heavily as any crop. and
unless fertilizing elements are constant

Appeal Made to America for Suffer

ers in Mexico.
Washington, Sept. IA. = Tales of
great suffering in the flooded districts
of Mexico as told in kilograms receiv-
ed at the State department today from
Consul General Philip c. Hanna,
brought forth another appeal tonight
from the American Red Cross society
for funds with which to supply our
unfortunate neighbors of Mexico with
the necessities of life"
The loss of life and destruction of
property is even greater than was at
first supposed, and it is predicted that
great physical suffering will prevail
among the homeless during the fall and
winter.
Tn destruction was greatest in the
country and small towns between Mon
terey and Matamoras. Mr.. Hanna says
the American consul at Matamoras re-
ports that place under water and seri-
GUS condition of affairs exists and that
the railroads between Matamoras and
Monterey bave been washed out.
"We are sending supplies down the
railroad as fast as it is opened" says
Mr. Hanna.
He suggests that it might be posi-
bic for the American army in the South
west to cooperate with the Mexican
army and American and Mexican con
suls in assisting Mexican towns.

ma said, THAT more than 49, 10000 live'

In all silos the greatest waste oc.
ours around the sides, particularly in
the corners, because the air has great
err access to these parts. The fodder
is not packed tightly in the corners,
the air fills the interstices and decay
results. With the cylindrical silo the
friction is equally distributed over the
entire inside wall surface, so that the
silage settles evenly.
The place silo is to occupy may
determine the form to build. There
are several kinds Chief among these
are the round the stave. the square
rectangular. and the octagonal form.
A square or rectangular silo can usu-
ally be constructed within barn with
better economy of space than round
silo. For these reasons square silos
are most frequently employed within
the barn. and the circular type when
separate building is constructed.

siIage for Feeding.

The chief difficulty in growing silage
corn in some of the Northern States is
in getting a suitable variety. and farm
ers are strongly urged to take advan-
tage of such new varieties Of silage
corn as may be offered for trial by
the experimental stations of their re-
spective States or by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. and also
to select their own seed in order to
fill It. In sections where potatoes fill
the place Of corn in ration. silage
can be made from japanese millet or
other crops and succulent winter feed
be thus provided. Glover and Italian
rye grasses are successfully used for
silage in the State of Washington
and the combination is worthy of trial

tity of opium was being struggled here

American continent, as far as the Pole,
upon which it would be possible to

er, in effect, will be that all territory
between the American boundary and

intensive DAIRY FARMING.
The question Is often asked how
many COWS certain number Of acres
will support. BY the question is
meant that the entire energy OF the
farm is to be devoted to raising food
for the dairy COW. A farm in good
state of fertility can be easily arrang-
ed so that one could keep a COW
to every two acres II the land is all
good. rich. tillable land. And one
would be able to raise both the forage
OF bulky part OF the ration, and the
grain ration. too. 1t could be done
In few years time with the proper
handling of the herd on the farm.
Three crops upon the farm will do
it-first, corn; second. clover hay, and,
third. peas and oats. OF course. the
clover sod would be plowed down for
corn and then the corn ground be put
into peas and oats the following sea
son. with these three foods one can
make a balanced ration for the dairy
COW without purchasing any other out
side food. either concentrated or
bulky.
The statement has often been made
that an acre OF good land will sup
port COW the year around. One
dairyman made the remark that he
could keep two cows on an acre. but
practically the man who keeps one
COW on two acres is doing very good
business If he gets lair prices for the
product. 1t is fact that the demand
for milk. butter and cheese is increas
ing faster than cows md the prices
are continually advancing. There is
no better business than dairying-

California State league was made a
permanent organization at mass
meeting of citizens of Los Angeles, in
Symphony hall today, with George N.

The meeting was called by the Los

Many of those present at the meeting
today wore badges inscribed "South

The wearing of these badges and
many of the speeches made reflected a
strong sentiment in favor of state divi-
