A NAUGHTY KNOTHOLE
BREAKS UP NATURE CURE FOR
FRoLIcsoME FEMININEs.
Back-to-Nature Movement of Topeka
Woman Spoiled When Male Pa
tients Discover Optical orifice
in the Partition.

Topeka, Kan.-It was only an inno-
cent little knothole in a board. but it
has probably wrecked the future hopes
OF new society which was founded
here. Mrs. Katheryn Boggs of this
city started a back-to-nature move
mentS which includes sun baths and
vegetable diet. score of people had
taken kindly to the plan and had en-.
rolled in the movement.
Mrs. Boggs lives in a fine cottage
on the edge of town, and has large
yard that she is using for her patients.
She has kind of outdoor hotel, where
simple vegetable diet is partaken OF
by the twenty members. At the south
edge of the yard Is an enclosed plot
of grass with board fence, about ten
feet high. surrounding it. The plot en-
closed Is about fifty by one hundred
feet. Through the center lengthwise
Is partition as high as the fence and
made of boards, likewise. In the CEN
ter Of each partitioned space is a
large pile of clean sand, fresh from
the Kaw. In this the patients take
their sun baths In the nude state.
They roll in the grass, wallow in the
sand and run and play, finishing with
a shower bath and rundown.
But the knothole! All, the naughty
knothole, spoiled 1t all Eight of these
patients were men. They have taken
the south side of the big corral They
a W. t4 th<
plan immensely. frolicking like lambs
or kittens and making the sand fly.
But one morning they were still so
very long that 1t attracted the atten-
tion OF the ladies who happened to be
taking sun bath at the same hour.
They listened and looked and won
dered. Suddenly an eagle-eyed dam
sci spied knothole In the partition
and on the other side of the knothole
was-an eye. A human eye, a mans
eye. First a blue eye. then gray
one, then brown one. The eye at
the knothcle was regular chameleon
sort Of an optic. At this the squeals
broke out right, some tainted, others
less embarrassed ran to the dressing
room and then safely encased in bath
robes into the cottage.
When 1t was all over the men coun-
seled among themselves what to do.
They decided that to remain in their
corral and act like nothing had hap
pened was the best. So, after half
hour Of failing attempts to have a
good time. they bathed, dressed and
went home. Mrs. Boggs has notified
the gentlemen that operations will be
suspended for a while and that here
after the new thought movement may
be for women only.

Alfalfa Needs Lime.

We have found out a good many
things about alfalfa on our farm.
Some of them may help you. No 9th
er forage crop requires so much lime
in the soil as does alfalfa, says a
writer in an exchange. The young
plants are very tender and are apt to
be killed by weeds during their early
stages of growth. Alfalfa Is often
killed by overflows from streams-a
well drained soil is essential. Well
rotted barnyard manure is the most
satisfactory fertilizer, as fresh manure
is apt to carry too many weeds. The
time of seeding alfalfa varies, but late
summer is usually best in the east and
south, while spring is the time in the
irrigated and semiarid sections of the
west, and also in the north. Better
experiment on small acreage first.

MILK AND YIELD OF CHEESE,
By o. G. Simpson Assistant Daryman, Oregon
Agricultural College.

By o. G. Simpson. Assistant Daryman Oregon
Agricultural College.
The relation of the composition of
milk to yield of cheese is subject
of special interest among dairymen of
the cheese producing districts 1t is
often maintained by many dairymen
that milk containing more than a per
cent of fat failed to produce any more
cheese than milks of per cent or less
of fat. This view was prevalent until
Van Slyke, by extended experiments,
proved that the yield of cheese was
nearly proportional to the per cent of
fat in lnilks of normal composition.
This view was so general, that, until
1892, no thought was ever given to
paying for milk on any other basis
than by the 100 pounds. There was
complete ignorance regarding the milk
constituents and their influence on the
yield of cheese.
The amount of green cheese pro-
duced from 100 pounds of milk is in
fluenced by three factors:
l. The percentage of fat and casein
in milk.
2. The percentage of fat and casein
lost in cheese making.
3. The amount of whey retained in
the cheese.
The amount of whey retained in
cheese can easily be made to vary 10
per cent. When we consider the
amount retained we find that it bears
no relation to the amount of water in
milk, but that it is entirely dependent
upon the methods of the cheese-maker.
Therefore, when we discuss the yield
of cheese from milk of different COM
position, it is necessary to have a
fixed standard for the amount of water
present in the cheese. The average
amount of water in factory cheese is
8 per cent. This is the amount usually
taken in comparing yield of cheese
from milks of different composition.
1t is not far from the truth to say
that the fat and the casein are the
only constituents of milks prominent
in determining the yield of cheese.
The production of cheese depends on
the ability of rennet to coagulate or
make a solid mass of the casein.
When casein coagulates it surrounds
and holds the fat globules. Other
conditions being the same, the yield of
cheese varies as the amount of fat and
casein vary. AS rule, as the per
cent of fat increases the per cent of
casein increases also. However, the
casein does not quite keep pace with
the fat, as is shown in the following
table:

LONDON DANCING IS "LIVELY"
Mrs. Grundy Takes Exception to
Kitchen Laneers" Style Of Art
Girls WhirIed In Air.

London.-From letters that have
been appearing in the newspapers
one might imagine that the Kitchen
Lancers" style of dancing is some
new thing. That, however, is far from
being the case. Quite quarter of
century ago one heard the identical
complaints that are now voiced by
certain old chaperons in the daily
press as to the romping that goes on
in fashionable bathrooms.
In the old days, too, round dances
were much more "lively" than they
are now, for a very fast "deux temps"
was the style fashionable folk affected
in the Victorian age, and as the smart
young man of that period held his
arm out at right angles going ahead
for all he was worth, real romp was
the result.
Nowadays waltzing at a slow and
stately pace is the fashion. AS to
the much abused Kitchen Lancers,"
it is quite certain that If lancers were
not danced in the way that Mrs.
Grundy" and the others complain of
they would be very little indugled in,
because no ne except at court ball
would think of standing up and walk
ing solemnly through the figures of
the old Victorian square dance"
The young people of the present day
are all for rapid progression, and it is
quite in the order of things toward
the end of the evening, when matters
get lively" for the young men to lift
their girl partners off their feet, whirl
them in midair and then deposit them
slider the ball a mighty dull affair
if that part of the program were
banned

During the past few years. tests

the grain was sown on corn stubble

Head Of Vassar Regrets College Ten
dency Away From Liberal Arts
Too Much Speciality.

Philadelphia.-It is mistake to
make the college do the work of the
factory, the Office and the shop and
to relegate the liberal arts to the
background. The craze for vocational
training Is a result of the impatience
of Americans who wish to accomplish
everything at once and who will not
wait for things to take their own
course"
DR.. James Taylor, president of Vas
sar college, who spoke at the College
club. where a reception was given in
honor of him and his wife, thus placed
himself on record as opposed to the
modern attempt to shove the classics
and all branches of cultural training
into an educational limbo, while room
Is made for trades, crafts and useful
manual work, which has for its final
object the earning of money.
THE mistake of vocational train
or girl for only one occupation in
life, for which he or she may take
a dislike afterward, There can never
be any certainty about the bent of
yorng person, and there are a thou
sand chances that the trade or profess
sion he or she takes up will not be
the one followed in later life.

early years to studying for the min

Objects to Average Hens.

am willing to agree with many
people that the average egg yield is
very much greater today than years

they lay eggs or nothing. 1t ism 4 fair
to count eggs laid by hens well cared
for and good layers against old. poor

who only guess what they get. In
other words. all stock should be a

ton or state should be credited by

Substitute for Green Food.

Glover hay Is not a green food, but
it is a pretty good substitute for poul
try. Steam or scald the shattered
leaves or run some Of the hay through
a feed cutter and scald 1t after 1t has
been cut up. Sometimes we add
enough middlings, ground oats or bran
to make crumbly mash, and feed in
troughs. When we haven't any time to
scald the clover we gather up a big
basket Of the leaves from the barn
floor and scatter 1t in the houses. The
hens scratch among 1t for seeds and
hulls, and it Is surprising how much
Of 1t they will eat.

er. After killing his young bride of a
few weeks, her brother, Andy Render,
his own stepson, James Bridges, and
his wife's sister, Mrs. w. S. Thomp-
son, he committed suicide.
Mounting his horse, Roots threw a
rope around his wife's neck and
dragged her at gallop over his ranch
until the back of her head had been
crushed by striking against the
stones. He dragged her body back to
the ranch house and left it in the
stable, where 1t was found by officers.
The immediate cause of the act will
never be known.
Render was playing cards with a
friend when Roots rode up and fired
three shots through the door, killing
Render instantly and tearing off one
Of the ears Of his companion.
Roots then went to the ranch of
James Bridges, son of his first wife,
and without warning shot him to
death. From there he rode to the
ranch Of Mrs. w. S. Thompson, wild
owed sister of his first wife, and shot
her dead. Returning to his own ranch,
Roots went into a field and blew out
his brains.
A note found by officers, addressed
to his former wife and written pre-
sumably after he had killed wife No.
2, stated that as she had taken his
boy from him he would take her boys
away from her. When the first wife
was granted a divorce she was given
the custody Of their eight-year-old son
and he had been trying ever since to
have the boy returned to him. An
other son by the first wife, living in a
remote section of the Bull Mountains,
has not been heard from and 1t is
thought that Roots had murdered him.
1t Is also feared that Ralph Bridges,
his wife and baby have been killed.
Roots covered at least fifty miles, MS
ing two horses, while perpetrating his
wholesale murders.

AGED COWS BEST BREEDERS
Some Interesting Results Secured In
Tests at Iowa Station on Pro-
Efficacy of Swine.

An investigation at the Iowa expert
ment station to discover the influence
of the age of sows upon their prolifi-
cacy and the weight and growth of
the pigs they produced gave some in
teresting results, says Coburn's Swine
in America. 1t was found, for exam
Pile, that Is sows bred at eight or nine
months average seven and two-thirds
pigs per littler, while IA sows about
"a months old averaged nine and six
tenths pigs per litter, and aged sows
averaged ten and six-tenths per litter.
Pigs from the younger sows weighed
on an average 2.39 pounds per pig;
from the two-year-old sows 263, and
from the aged sows 2.61 pounds. When
about six weeks old the pigs from the
young sows made an average daily
gain of .32 pounds. while the pigs
from the two-year-old sows gained 40
pounds. No data is given on the gain
of the pigs from the aged sows.
Stated In another way 1t was found
that the twoyear-old sows farrowed
"a per cent. more pigs than the young
sows, while the old sows farrowed 30
per cent. more. The weight of the
pigs from the two-year-old sows was 8
per cent greater than that of the
young sows, while the pigs from the
old sows were IL per cent larger than
from the young sows. The pigs from
the two-year-old sows made a more
rapid gain than those from the young
sows. amounting to 26 per cent. In
each instance the older sows farrowed
more pigs per litter. heavier pigs at
birth. and their pigs made the most
rapid growth after birth

(The cheese in each case containing
81 per cent water.)
1t is noticeable that the yield of
cheese per pound of fat decreases as
the percentage of fat increases. The
less rapid is the decrease as the per-
centage of fat increases.
In making milk into cheese some of
the fat and some of the casein in un-
avoidably lost The fat being held in
little pockets by the casein, falls out
when these pockets are broken or cut
open during the process of manufac-
ture. 1t was for some time thought
that with an increase of fat in milk
there would be an increased loss of fat
in the whey. Under normal conditions
it is found that the per cent of fat in
the whey is fairly constant. Also that
the loss of fat is quite Independent of
the amount of fat in the milk. In the
handling of the curd during the cheese
making process small particles of
casein are broken off and lost in the
whey. The average amount of fat
found in whey is about .33 per cent.
The amount of casein is about 10 per
cent.
Other conditions being about the
same, the yield of cheese will vary
according to the per cent of fat and
casein in the milk. AS has been
pointed out, milks rich in fat are more
valuable for cheese making because
of the increased amounts of casein. A
SO per cent fat milk is not twice as
valuable from the standpoint of yield
as a 2.5 per cent milk. But it is
maintained by such an authority as
Babcock that the increased quality in
the cheese will make up the deficiency
in yield.

We would not Ssexpect then to get
twice as much cheese from per
cent milk as from per cent milk,
which is borne out in practice. 1t is
a matter of interest to know the ex-
tent of the variation of yield of cheese
as influenced by per cent of fat.
