NOT VERY RICH IN ALCOHOL
Flax Straw Experiments Blast Dreams
of Wealth.

The idea that fax straw possessed
high qualities for the product of de-
natured alcohol does not appear to be
borne out by the experiments so far
made by Professor Morton of the state
agricultural college, who is conducting
the denatured alcohol tests. The
theory gained currency that the straw
was rich in alcoholic qualities, and
because hundreds of thousands of tons
are annually destroyed, some persons
saw visions of great riches to be res
cued from the waste material.

PROFIT IN MAKING BUTTER
II High Grade Can Be Made at Home
with a Good Market 1t
Pays Well.

\ There is good profit in making but
tes at home, If you can make a high
Grade product and have good mar
ket for it. The creamery pays you
only for an exact pound of butter fat,
with two or three pounds of milk
thrown in for nothing. Churning the
cream at home, you save the cost Of
churning which the creamery charges
for; you gain about 16 per cent in
weight of the butter; and you gain
the buttermilk. These combined gains
amount to about rs per cent, or one
pourd in every four. In other words,
you make about 25 cents on every
dollars worth of butter, If you make
as good butter as the creamery prod
uct.
BY the use of the hand separator 1t
is possible to make the highest grade
of butter at home. provided the cream
Is properly handled and churned. BY
the use of the separator you are not
only able to make higher grade of
butter and sell it for a higher price.
but you will be able to extract more
cream from the milk and hence make
more butter. Also, the warm sweet
skim milk will have a higher food
value either for human use or for ami
NAL feeding. If you keep more than
three or four cows, by all means buy
a separator. 1t will soon pay for
itself.

NOT HIS, BUT WHOSE WAS IT7
Question Of Street Car Ethics That
Has Proved a Great Puzzle to
Lucinda.

Sitting opposite to me in the car
went down town in this morning"
said Lucinda, was a man. No. moth
ing remarkable about that. but
something happened presently that
made him Of interest to me.
"On the same side with me but two
or three seats down sat a woman who
at the ne1t crossing got up to leave
the car and as she left her seat and
started for the door the man sitting
opposite spoke to her:
MADAM. is that yours?'
"He pointed at something in the
seat that the woman had Just left; and
she looked around and looked at 1t
and said: No. that isn't mine.' and
passed on.
What 1t was that he had thus
pointed out couldn't see because
there was somebody sitting between
me and 1t; but in a minute the man
sitting opposite got up and came over
and got 1t and then went back with 1t
and sat down again in his seat; and
then I saw what 1t was. 1t was a
small pasteboard box. He looked 1t
over a little and then In a minute he
opened 1t and looked into it; and as
he held 1t could see into 1t as he
opened 1t, and there were in 1t few
candies. Somebody who had brought
this box into the car had eaten out of
1t all the candies they wanted and
then had just left the box on the
seat.
Then of course l wondered what
the man who had found it would do
about it; whether he'd keep it or leave
1t or what he'd do; and in a minute
he laid 1t down on the seat beside him.
l didn't feel certain that he was going
to leave 1t there for good: and when
we came along to where I wa. going
to get off he sat forward little. get
ting ready to get up-he was going to
get out there too-and I thought I'd
wait and let him go first SO that l
could see.
when the car had stopped and we
were both standing up and was hold
ing back for him he held back politely
for me and 1 had to go first; but
managed to look around enough as I
went to see him pick up the box. He
held 1t In his hand as he passed out of
the car, but when he had stepped of
he dropped 1t in his pocket.
Now of course what he should have
done was either to leave 1t in the car
or hand it over to the conductor to be
taken to the lost and found depart
ment 1t wasn't his; but there 1t was.
left In the car by somebody who ap-
parently had got through with it. 1t
wasn't his. but it wasn't anybody's-
and he took 1t. What would you have
done about it?"

How Much Feed for Milking Cows.

For milking cows it is not desirable
that more than five or six pounds of
cottonseed meal per day should be
fed. If this, in connection with the
roughage she is getting. does not fur
nish the proper nutrients in amounts
and proportions, other grain should be
added. The COW giving but small
quantity of milk per day, say about
gallon, can be properly fed on cot
tonseed as the only grain If 1t Is fed
with some good roughage as prairie
hay. With roughage like alfalfa it
could be used as the sole grain ration
for COW giving two or three gallons
per day.

GOLDEN RULE IN BREEDING
BY Careful Study Breeder Will Have
No Trouble In Producing Like
from Like.

Like produces like" 1s the golden
rule and summary of the science of
breeding. says the American Cultiva-
tor. 1t must be remembered that the
resemblance is decided not only by
the immediate parents, but by the
grandparents and the great grandpar-
ents, ETC., all being connected like the
links in a chain, or rather like the
twigs of tree to the main branch.
Hence the qualities of the family must
extend through several generations,
better a dozen generations, to appear
with fair certainty in the offspring.
When a characteristic has once
struck into the organization of line
of stock it remains with great persist
ence, even when mated with unlike in
dividuals, as, for instance, the broad
belt of the Dutch cattle, which Is
nearly always impressed upon a cross
of that breed; or the peculiar build
and disposition of the Morgan horse
which persists in spite of many re-
moves from the pure Morgan stock.
These prepotent families are usually
established and fixed by considerable
inbreeding at the start, which is the
readiest way of uniting individuals
possessing similar good qualities.
Then, by careful selection and out
breeding, the qualities once fixed have
been maintained. BY taking into &C.
count the influence of the remote as
well as the direct ancestors, the breed
er will have no great trouble in pro-
ducing like from like with regularity.
