TO HAVE, TO HOLD.-The other
day in California an old lady, inmate
of a woman's charity home, suicided.
She arrayed herself in her wedding
robes, even to the bridal veil and the
high-heeIed satin slippers. Then,
cIutching a sprayof orange blossoms
from off her veil, in her hand, she
threw herself from a, lofty window.
AS they picked her up bruised, brOk-
en-, dying, she whispered:
81 am going to my husband; he is
waiting. Please let me go. I want
himss0 much"
It is a little tale which causes a
lump to form in ones throat; the
heartstrings to tighten. But it is
also tale which brings a poignant
thrill of gladness; it is as a Whit of
fresh ocean breeze; as the scent Of
old lace and lavender.
For it breathes Of the love which
passeth all understanding the love
which is greater than that of moth
er for her young; which death may
not sever; the love of a true wife for
her mate. 1t is the Divine gift to
all men, white or black, rich or poor;
of high or low degree; it is the Divine
panacea for all mans ills.

cHURNING IN COLD WEATHER
Many General Considerations Which
Apply in All Cases Cooling
Temperature Varies.

It is difficult to lay down hard and
fast rules for churning, because there
are SO many factors that will change
conditions, but there are many general
considerations which apply in all
cases. AS soon as the cream is ripe,
which can be determined by the glossy
appearance when stirred, or when the
acidity has reached about five per
cent, it should be cooled to the churn-
ing temperature and kept at least eight
hours before churning. This holding
period gives the fat globules time to
contract uniformly so that they will
churn completely, thereby minimizing
the loss of fat in the buttermilk It
l. customary to ripen one day and cool
down in the evening for churning the
next morning. The cooling tempera-
ture varies with the conditions Of the
cream and season, and should be from
so degrees in the summer to so de-
grees in the winter.
The churning temperature varies
from 55 to 65 degrees F. Use low
temperature when cream is very sour,
when 1t is rich in fat, when tat glOb-
ules are soft due to laxative feeds fed
to cows, and during hot weather. When
the conditions are opposite to those
above use high churning tempera-
ture. Cream is at the proper tempera-
ture when the butter comes in 80 or 40
minutes. Too high a temperature is
less desirable than too low one be-
cause it results in greasy butter OF
poor texture, and one that has high
buttermilk content, causing it to de
teriorate rapidly
AS the cream is added to the churn
it should be passed through a finely
perforated strainer This will remove
particles Of curd and also any foreign
matter. A churn that is one-third to
one-half full will churn the cream more
completely and in a shorter time than
when the churn is overloaded.

IMMENSE FIELDs OF Lava
North America Has Two of the Great
est That Are Known to Exist
in the World.

The valley of the ancient Snake
river in Idaho was flooded with great
outpourings of black lava, which
spread out sheet on sheet, buried the
old land surface, and partly filled the
valley with molten rock, which solsdt-
fed and remained to this day undis-
turbed except for the gorges that the
streams have cut in it. In some places
old mountains project through the pet
rified lava food as islands project
above the surface of the sea. and old
ridges stick out into it as capes and
promontories. The area covered by
the Snake river lava is about 10000
square miles. So far as is now known,
there Is but one lava field in North
America of greater extent, the Colunl-
bia river lava field, which covers about
100000 square miles In Snake River
canyon below Shoshone falls nearly 200
feet of horizontal sheets of lava are
exposed, but whether this is the maxi
mum thickness or not cannot be told.

KIplino No Lover Of Cats.

Rudyard Kipling, says the London
Chronicle, is evidently no lover of
cats, for the tale of "The Cat Who
Walked by Himself is based on the
latest hostility between the cat and
the man. He describes how the dog.
the horse and the cat in turn are at
tracted to the cave of our ancestors
and become domesticated, but the cat
still retains his freedom. Even though
he has fallen a victim to the seduc-
tions of the fireside, and agreed to ac-
cept the terms imposed by the man
and the dog, he never becomes really
friendly.
You remember the lines: "He will
kill mice and he will be kind to babies
when he is in the house, just as long
as they don't pull his tail too hard.
But !. when night comes he is the
cat that walks by himself. and all
places are alike to him. Then he goes
out to the wet, wild woods, up the
wet, wild trees. or on the wet, wild
roofs waving his wild tail and walking
by his wild love.

these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and

pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-

forms into gravel or kidney stones.

mONGOOSE IS A PEST
WEST INDIES SEEKING PLAN TO
GET RID OF 1T.
Government Rewards Have Only Had
the Effect Of Adding to Their
Number, and the Problem Has
Become Serious.

'nThe mongoose pest is becoming
really serious; it is worse than ever
writes a Trinidad correspondent to q
British paper.
Formerly, he says, the government
gave a substantial reward for each
body or tail produced, but no sub
stantial reduction resulted. Some en-
terprising peasants were suspected Of
making a successful minor industry
by breeding the mongoose, and in one
ward it was established that an inno-
cent warden had paid for the same
tails over and over again. AS soon
as bought they were buried, only to
be dug up and sold again in the morn.
ing.
Another amusing, If expensive, thing
occurred in this connection. In two adj
joining wards an experiment was
tried. At one they gave a fiat rate
rs cents eacb-male or female. At
another the price was 81 for the fe-
male and so cents for the male.
After some time it dawned on the
official purchasers that there was a
great preponderance of females in the
latter ward. The simple peasant had
again proved one too many for the au-
thorities. Inquiry proved that all the
females caught in both wards were
sold in the one where the price was
raised, and all the males vice versa.
Then the government got tired of it.,
and no further reward was given.
The mongoose, it may be recalled,
was imported into the West Indies in
the seventies of last century. to ex-
terminate the rats which ravaged the
cane fields. They did this most ef-
fectually, but, having destroyed the
rats, they turned their attention to
poultry and birds. Then lizards fell
prey to their voracious appetites,
with the result that the insects in
creased in an alarming extent. Final
ly the mongoose became as great a
pest there as rabbits are in Australia.

SWINE BETTER THAN CATTLE
knowledge Comes From Practical Ex-
perience Rather Than From the
Study of Records.

Every experienced stockman knows
that the pig comes first in list of
farm animals as an economical meat
maker. This knowledge, in most
cases, comes from practical experience
rather than from the study of records
made in experimental work. In con-
nection with such problems as this,
facts and figures are always more or
less interesting, and those that are
available show strongly in favor of the
pig.
In experiments carried on at the
Lawes and Gilbert station in England,
matters of this kind were threshed
out to the very bottom. The result OF
twenty-seven experiments carried on
with cattle indicated that it required
an average of thirteen pounds of dry
substance to produce one pound in
crease in live weight. It was found
that sheep required an average of SO
pounds of dry substance to produce a
pound of gain, while the hog required
but 4.8 pounds of dry substance to pro-
duce one pound of increased weight.
To determine this result, thirty-three
experiments were carried on with
pigs, and 104 animals were fed out for
an average of fifty-eight days.
