see an already difficult position threat

Italy parents often interfere in the
schools, usually taking the part of
their children against the teacher.
They often see In the professor an

examinations abolished, and so on.
For this reason the schools Of Italy
have never risen to the authority and

Tha Army Wofst

The army worm has invaded
Highland and is doing damage to
the meadows on Jacksons river and
western Highland. So far as we
have heard, the Stephenson lands
at Stony Run have suffered most,
M. F. Wiley also being a loser. Dr.
Hunter Moomau of Green Bank ,
who came to town Saturday, re-
ported the roads creeping with
worm in some sections. He said
that they had DESTROYED whole
fields of oats in his county.
Of this pest an exchange says:
The army-worm rarely makes its
presence known until a field OF
oats, timothy, wheat, corn or Glow
er is revealed some morning wholly
devastated. 1t it Il prolific breeder

useful as traps, although roads and
ploughed fields do not always prove
a complete barries. Arsenate of
lead in solution is valuable in saw
ing gardens. and fortunately there
is parasite that destroys the worms
in vast numbers.
Owing to the fact that army
worms move in columns in regular
order and, with wonderful intel
ligence, assail the most PROMISING
crops, they have carried terror as

What Makes Milk And
Butter Yellow.

That the rich yellow COLOR lie
manded by the public in dairy
products is primarily due the
character of the cows feed is dem
onstrated by recent experiments
carried on by the department in
cooperation with the Missouri
State Experiment Station. For
some year dairy experts have been
STUDYING this question. Their con
clusion is that, although to some
extent a breed characteristic, the
intensity of this yellow color may;
within certain limits, be increased
or diminished at will by changing
the animals rations.
Chemical tests show that the
yellow pigment in milk consists OF
several well-known pigments found
in green plants. Of these the prin,
cipal one is carotln, so called be
cause it constitutes large part OF
the coloring matter of carrots. The
other pigments in the milk are
known as xanthophylls. These are
found in a number of plants includ
ing grass but are especially abund
ant in yellow autumn leaves.
These pigments pass directly
from the feed into the milk. This
explains the well-known fact that
fresh, grass and carrots increase
the yellowness of butter, the only
standard by which the average
person judges its richness. On the
other hand, large proportion OF
these pigments is deposited in the
body fat and elsewhere in the cow.
When the ration is changed to one
containing fewer carotln and
xanthophyll constituents, this
boarded store is gradually drawn
upon and in consequence the yell
lowness of the milk does not dim
inish so rapidly as it otherwise
would. This yellowness increases,
however, the instant the necessary
plant pigments are restored to the
ration.
Green grass is probably richer in
carotin than any other dairy feed
Cows fed on it will therefore pro-
duce the highest colored butter.
Green corn, in which xanthophylls
constitute the chief pigment, will
also produce a highly-colored pro-
duct. On the other hand, ration
of bleached clover hay and yellow
corn is practically deyoid of yellow
pigments and the milk from COWS
fed upon it will gradually lose its
color. 1t is, of course, indisputably
true that the breed dose influence
the color of the milk fat; but vary
the ration and there will be cor:
responding variation in the color OF
the milk fat in each breed.
In COWS of the Jersey and
Guernsey breeds the body fat is
frequently of such a deep yellow
color that some butchers and COLI
sumers look with disfavor upon
beef from these breeds. For this
prejudice there is absolutely no
justification. The yellowness OF
the fat springs from the same causes
as the yellowness of the milk fat,
and there is no reason for Directing
in one case to the very thing that's
prized in the other.

 While we recognize that a considerable amount of work is before us,' said MT. Jacobs yesterday, i've are certain of ulti- mate victory. Much in a quiet way has already been accomplished and the situa ton is well in hand.
