Why MILK AND BUTTER ARE
ARE SOMETIMES YELLOW

The belief that a bright yellow
color in milk means richness in
quality is not true. Experiments
conducted at the College Of Agricul-
ture of the University Of Missouri
show that the change from the
white cream and butter in winter
TO yellow cream and butter in spring
and summer does not indicate an
increased fat percentage. The very
highest colored milk that COW can
give may have the lowest fat per-
centage. Such a condition is found
in the so-called colostrum milk, the
first milk that a COW gives after
giving birth to calf.
The explanation of the wide diff
ference between the results of the
experiment and the popular belief
in regard to the relation Of color to
richness hes in the cause of the nat
ural yellow color of cream and but
ter. II was found that cows were
not able to produce the yellow coll
oring matter for their cream and
buttes The coforing matter must
be derived from the feed. The yell
low coloring matter of milk was
found to be identical with a yellow
celoring matter that is widely dis
tributed in plants and fresh grass.
This coloring matter is called
carotin. 1t takes its name from the
carrot, where it is very abundant,
and where it was first discovered
by scientists more than one hundred
years ago.
The difference in the color Of
cream and butter in winter and
spring was found to be due to the
fact that the winter feeds contain
little OF no carotin. No marked in
crease in the fat percentage accom-
panies the increase in color when
foods rich in carotion are fed. 1t
has been shown that the average COW
gives a higher per cent of fat in its
milk during the winter than in the
spring and summer.

CLIPPINGS FROM THE
SNAGTOwN TORCHLIGHT


The Pmnkville Patriot has edi-
torially come out against compulso-
ry prohibition.
The Panther Creek school teacher
lectured on the United States Fri
day night. We were surprised to
see such a large and intelligent au-
dience out. In the course Of his
remarks he paid a glowing tribute
to our country, and it is a pity that
everybody in the United States
could not have been there to hear
him. One reason we keep so far
ahead of other nations, said he, is
that we are getting up and going to
work on this side every morning
while the people around on the 9TH
er side are just going to bed.
w. C. Herman was seen at the
Panther Greek preaching last Sun

mighty hard things about people.
This did not hit W. C. Herman as
he has way of getting down be-

anybody is talking in his direction.

GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT

Encourage every home enterprise.
Take an interest in every industry,
invest literally in the stock of faith
and good will, and distribute it all
over your city, in every factory, ev-
cry work shop, every business
house. 1t will pay you large divi-
dends, and will cost very little. 1t
can never depreciate. 1t will al
ways be above par. Buy home
made goods. Ask your merchants
for them. Wear home made gar
ments, eat home made articles of
food, sleep on home made beds, read
home made newspapers. In this
way the money you spend is only
loaned. 1t will come back TO you
again with interest. Praise up your
city-don't run it down. Stand by
your merchants and manufacturers
they are the bone and sinew of
your municipal structure. Stand by
your schools and churches-they
are the hopes of your future. Stand
by your press-it is the tireless
sentinel that guards your interests.

the REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK

The Republicans will not make
their campaign in Kentucky this
year with much hope of doing more
than to keep the organization to-

Democratic nominations have been

majority, but every Democratic
voter should stay awake and be at
work to make the victory sweep
ing one.-Frankfort State Journal.

PROPOSES
TO REDUCE TARIFF
Senator Sees Changed Conditions
After War Ends.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7,--United States
Senator Boies Penrose, in a speech
at dinner here, announced that he
would introduce at the next session
of congress tariff bill that will con
tain reductions of 3 to 20 per cent on
many of the duties in the Payne-Al-
drich bill. The senator said:
For myself l intend to introduce
at the opening of the next congress a
tariff bill protective in it's nature, con-
tanning a horizontal reduction o. 15
OF 20 per cent on many of the duties
contained in the Payne bill, but rein
forcing some of the schedules, like the
chemical schedule, to the extent that
may be necessary to secure these In
dustries in our country. This bill will
protect us from the collapse which
will occur on the close of the war In
Europe and will Furnish us money to
prepare for the national defense,
should any nation Of Europe in arms
desire to invade or assault u.s."

WHISPERING GALLERIES.
Old World Churches With Remarkab bio
Acoustic Properties.

The most celebrated whispering gal
lery is that which surrounds the base
of the interior of the dome of st. Paul's
cathedral, London. A person speaking
near its surface can be heard distinctly
by one listening near the smooth wall
at the other extremity OF the diameter,
but not elsewhere.
In the cathedral of Gloucester whis-
pering passage leads from one aisle to
the opposite behind the east window of
the choir. 1t Is seventy-llve feet long,
six and half feet high and three feet
wide In the form of half an irregular
octagon. The walls and ceilings are of
freestone, and the slightest whisper
travels from end to end.
The cathedral of the Tai Mahal in
Agra, India has most marvellous ech-
oes and reyerberating qualities, but Is
scarcely a whispering gallery. The
whole cathedral of Girgenti, In Sicily,
has this character owing to the pecul-
lar structure of Its walls. These re-
markable properties also belonged to
the Ear Of Dionysius," cut In the rock
