ARRANGING GRADE OF CREAM
Lack Of Quality Has Long Been Detr'-
ment to Dairy Interests Of
the United States.

Increased attention is being given
in butter-producing districts to the
grading of cream and the arranging of
price schedules to conform more near
ly with the real value Of different
grades of the product. Lack Of quail
fly has long been a serious detriment
to the dairy interests of the United
States, regardless of locality. The
production of a higher quality Of
cream by the individual farmer has
long been urged by the creamery op-
orators as the prime necessity to the
production of better butter. For the
most part, however, creamery inter-
ests and creamery operators-even
under the cooperative plan-have Of
fered no particular inducement to
the farmer to improve the quality Of
his product. Producing cream under
the most improved conditions and
keeping and delivering it in the best
possible condition generally costs more
work and more money than the pro-
duction of an inferior product. As
long as cream is paid for on a fat
scale at so much per pound Of butter
fat regardless of condition, the great
bulk of farmers are not going to spend
money and effort, to deliver a high
grade product at the creamery. When,
however, a price difference is paid
commensurate with the real difference
In quality the matter becomes a ques-
ton Of economics, as it properly
should and there Is tangible object
In delivering cream of high quality.
There is just as much good, sound
season back Of grading cream as pay
ing for it according to it's relative
value as there Is in the grading of
wheat and corn.\

IMPORTANT PINCH >0F SALT
Seemingly There Are Few Dishes to

Few housewives, especially the IT.
tie Mrs. Newlyweds. fully appreciate
the value Of the pinch Of salt. Or
course, everyone uses salt on meats,
and in soups, entrees, vegetables
sauces, ETC.. but although the COOK
books do not always include 1t In re-
cipes for cakes. pies and desserts gen.
arally, there Is almost nothing from
the most dainty geatine and whipped
cream dessert to bread and butter pud-
ding that Is not greatly improved by
1t. You probably would not dream OF
putting It in pot Of tea, but II you
try it you will find that 1t brings out
the aroma Of the tea, making it actual
ly fragrant by neutralizing the fiat.
ness Of the water. This will be found
especially so In localities where the
water Is hard or has q mineISl taste.
1t should always be used In coffee and
cocoa. 1t imparts mellow taste to
coffee and makes the cocoa seem very
much richer.
The delicate favoring Of all custard
desserts Is enhanced by the magic
pinch Of salt Put 1t in pies OF all
kinds. Use plenty Of salt in the pie
crust where only lard is used for
shortening. Meringues are improved
by 1t.
At preserving time remember the
pinch Of salt, whether you are making
preserves. jelly or marmalade. 1t
simply puts the water where 1t be-
longs--in the background. and the

BLAMES FLIES FOR TYPHOID
BacterioIogIst's Opinion Of Reeur-
rent Epidemcs at Newark,
Del.

Wilmington, Del-"The recurrent
epidemics of typhoid fever at Newark.
DEL, are due to the spread of ty-
phoid germs by flies. There is no
doubt about this
This declaration was made today by
DR.. Albert Robin, one of the foremost
psychologists in the east and for four
years bacteriologist in the state labo-
ratory in connection with Delaware
college at Newark. DR.. Robin, now a
resident of Wilmington, continued:
1.-The four years that l spent a
Newark enabled me to learn all about
the town. The present outbreak Of
typhoid fever is traceable entirely to
flies. The town has no system Of
sewerage. AS result filth Is not car
ried away; it remains on the surface
and in cesspools. The water supply is
absolutely pure.
when a single case Of this dread
disease manifests itself, especially in
summer, 1t is not long before other
cases develop. This Is because flies
carry the germs from the filth to the
homes of prospective victims by
crawling over their food.
There are now upward of a dozen
cases in the town, a majority of them
being among colored people who have
no screens In the windows of their
homes. As long as Newark remains
without a system Of sewers just SO
long will it be impossible to prevent
these epidemics at intervals. 1t Is
not possible to kill all the flies, but 1t
Is possible for tho town to install
sewers"
When a serious epidemic of typhoid
occurred at Newark couple Of yeara
ago and caused a number of deathd
the authorities of the town conducted
an exhaustive investigation as to the
origin without results. Prof. Freidena
berg, member Of the Delaware col
lege faculty, died from the disease. a.

Asparagus DoubIy Useful.

Asparagus plant is hardy. 1t re-
quires six weeks for the seed to ger
inmate and come up. The young
plants may be cultivated in rows as
other garden vegetables, and set in
permanent rows or beds this fall or
spring.
The plants are very hardy, will
stand all kinds of treatment, but will
respond literally to good treatment,
and thrive in one place for ten or
twenty years. The asparagus plant is
doubly useful. The young shoots can
be used for food, and the foliage
branches for decoration. Sprays of
asparagus are equaled by few other
plants for their pleasing effect In
decoration.

Mr.. jackson corroborates her.
Jackson was first to hear queer'
noises, and he aroused his wife. :;

Josephine listened. and there came
to her ear sound of low moaning.
punctuated by sibilant whisperings.
Josephine trembled, but Jackson leap

Josephine he said, you go down

Jackson and his neighbor returned
to the house to rescue Josephine, but
when they reached the house the

Presently young Nose Johnson es-
