IN MEMoRIAM

In sad and loving remembrance OF
our beloved wife and mother, Gather
inc e. Beideman, who died May 24th'
1925:
The month of Nay once more is here
To us the saddest of the year.
For her memory is as dear today
As in the hour she passed away.
Day by day we saw her fade
And slowly pine away,
Yet in our hearts we often pray
That she might longer stay.
Through all her sufferings at times she
smiled
The smile of heavenly birth
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell to us on earth.
Sadly missed by Husband and Chill

Deserved to Lose

The late John S. Sargent, the IA
nous American portrait painter, was
once obliged to attend an unsavory
murder trial In London for the pur-
pose of making certain sketches.
The trial was also attended by many
society folk, and one morning, when
Mr.. Sargent arrived late he found his
seat occupied by great lady. He said
nothing, but at the luncheon hour he
ate very hurried luncheon, and so 1t
came about that when the great lady
came back from her own luncheon she
found that her place was gone.
She put up her lorgnette, stared at
Mr.. Sargent ssIghtily and said:
Dear me. I've lost my seat
Madame, said Mr.. Sargent, when
a lady so far forgets herself as to at
tend TRIAL of this unsavory kind. she
Is apt to lose both her seat and her
standing"

"Rod in Pickle

The annual slaughter resultant from
the British shooting season has long
made the brine tub necessary as
means of eliminating loss and waste.
To rural Britain the third Sunday in
November was long known as "Salt-
ing Sunday" In by-gone days the
saltings along the Essex coast were
valuable properties, for salt being
then obtained by evaporation only, the
deposit from the tidal waters year
after year, amounted to no small guam.
ttty. Year after year to the saltings
came the farmers in their big lumber
Ing wagons, bent ON exchanging their
surplus live stock for the necessary
preservative at the then current rate
of one sheep for two bushels of salt.
1t can be understood from this how
the splitting of salt came to be regard
ed with supersfitious feelings, and
to to be deemed unlucky. Another
old saying: II have a rod In pickle
for you," also originated about this
time. Children in those days were
sternly dealt with, and "a bundle of
twigs was quite often kept in soak

with it's lifeless waste of interior, has
remained much of q mystery ever
since.
1t Is shaped like an elongated cres-
cent and contains about $4,000 square
miles. 1t is part Of the Russian prov
ince of Archangel, and Is practically
continuation of the billy country Of
north Russia, only about thirty-seven
miles OF strait separating it from the
mainland.
The northern section seems to be
covered by a great ice sheet. The
interior consists of q main mountain
chain with traverse chains thrown off
In different directions. separated by
deep, narrow valleys, some Of which
are watered by streams of consider
able size. During the spring thaw
these rivers bring down large masses
Of rock fragments. On the north and
south extremities the mountains de-
scend to comparatively low plateau
with level valleys dotted by multi
tude of lakes.
Gooseland, on the south, is covered
in the summer with grasses. Else
where even leaved lichen are scarce,
although leather lichens flourish. In
places where a little humus has
formed Towering plants appear, the
brilliant flowers seeming to spring di-
rectly from the ground, concealing
the smaller leaves. The complete
flora thus far known numbers about
200 species. The interior Is prac-
tically devoid of animal life-only
stray white foxes, white bears and
immigrant reindeer. The seacoast,
however, Is covered during the sum-
mer with countless birds. Millions Of
auks swarm on the rocks. Great
ftocks of ducks, geese and swans
swarm every summer on the valleys
and lakes of the South. There is
good salmon fishing in the rivers.

Split Milk Costs Uncle Sam
99,685.OO Annually

The amount Of milk split, soured.
rejected and otherwise wasted annu-
ally, is 3,339,986,000 pounds. This at
$2.25 per hundred would approx
mate a n.nu ally the stupendous
amount of $77,399,685.
However, a cheerful note rings
through this tale of economic loss to
a nation. The same report shows
a 1924 increase of 108 pounds of
milk per cow over 1928 production.
Deducting this from the figure pre-
viously given, leaves loss through
waste of only $13.607,325, a mere
bagatelle, compared with our ma
tional debt of more than twenty bill
lions of dollars.
The increased yield per COW is due
to heightened efficiency on the farm:
and future years promise even
greater increases.
Dairymen have discovered the flu
tility of feeding non-paying members
of their milk herds. They have
learned that losses Turk in insanitary
milk production. They have dis
covered the advantages that lie in
swatting the bacteria that hide in
unclean stables, unclipped, un-
brushed TANKS and udders Of milk
cows and unsterilized utensils. AS
time goes on, the unavoidable waste
of milk will be more than Offset by
Intelligent feeding, complete SANTA
ton and more efficient herd manage
ment.
