e Cooling of Milk.
The prompt and thorough cooling
of milk is generally recognized to be
of prime importance in preventing

under ordinary conditions are always

! A New Market For Vegetables,
In Wisconsin an important indus
try has been developed in the manu
facture of what are called dehydrated
vegetables. The method is about the
same as that applied to fruit in pro
ducing evaporated apples, peaches,
ete. The vegetables, including car
rots, potatoes, cabbages, ete., are
sliced, dried and compressed into
small packages. These condensed
vegetables are sold for ship supplies
and in the mining regions of the
Northwest. An order for over SOO,-
000 pounds was lately received for
the Pacific squadron of the United
Btates Navy, The vegetables are used
in making stews and soups.—Amer

P Sheep That Paid Well,
- Bome time ago an old sheep grower
of Illinois, said in an address on
sheep: *“My sheep have gained {from
start of feeding to finish, eight to ten
p(;:mda of ‘tz‘\‘um~ per M;:elat ‘mw :
while the gain of my cattle runs from |
mmmmgfi'&mww ?
eat corn while my sheep eat grass,
and only a little corn to start lambs
and finish them, And I find from my
shipping bills for twenty-five years
that the average price received for
my stock in Chicago during that per
jfod has been $4.93 per 100 pounds
for sheep, $4.86 for steers and $4.85
for hogs. And all were good animals,
These figures convince me that the
sheep are, in general, the most profit
able stock on the farm, especially on
thin and high lands. But keep none
but the hest of whatever breed you
have. They will pay when poor ones
Jose. Sheep are easy to handle and
easy to retain in an inclosure that
would not hold other stock, and are
the best weed destroyers on the farm.
Taking all things into consideration,
the sheep has much to commend it to
the farmer.”—Weekly Witness,
% Demand For Milk Created. f‘
! A large portion of the impurities
which find their way into milk are
brought to it at milking time. If the
cows are not cleaned or brushed just
before milking, more or less loose
hair and dirt falls into the milk pail.
This can be entirely prevented by
brushing and then washing and dry
ing the cow's udder just before milk
ing. In dairies where sanitary milk
that does not sour for several days is
produced, the cow's udder is always
washed and dried immediately before
she is milked; the milker then washes
his hands, puts on a white suit and
milks into a covered milk pail pro
vided with only a small opening in
the cover to milk into.
i Careful work of this kind protects
the milk from many impurities and
it increases the consumer's desire
for more milk when he knows that
such precautions are taken against
impurities getting into the milk.
Many people undoubtedly would want
milk to drink if they felt a greater
cdnfidence in the purity of the mllk{
than they now have. Their knowl
edge in a general way of the barn
conditions where many cows are
milked is not apt to increase their
desire for milk.-—~Weekly Witness,

b Passing of the Turkey.
" Ors jJate years turkeys have been al
most a minus quantity in this part of
Ohio. While driving through the
country flocks of turkeys might-be
seen on every farm not so many years
2go, but now the bird has almost en
tirely disappeared. Wild turkeys
‘were once very numerous here and
quite hardy, but it seems they cannot
bear domestication and are heirs to
many diseases, Black head, cholera,
rheumatisw, bowel trouble and many
other diseases have made turkey rais
ing a precarious business. Some
would-be turkey raisers make the
mistake of selling the old turkey
hens. These should be kept, for the
older they are, the more sense they
have. Old turkey hens may be kept
for ten years.
1f healthy birds can be obtained
the owner may reasonably expect fair
returns for the time and money ex
pended, but many of the birds are un
‘healthy, and if they or their eggs
are bought the little turkeys are
weak and diseased from birth. Some
times the flock is all right till half
grown, when one by one they droop
and die, and this is more discouraging
than to have them die when young,
as it is no small task to raise the deli
cate fowls, A few years ago we had
seven fine little turkeys that appar
ently were perfectly healthy when
ghut in one night. They were nearly
a month old and we thought them out
of danger, but in the morning every
!one was dead. The coop stood on a
j'clean plot of grass and they were
‘not killed by any animal, 8o we never
‘knew why they died,
~ Eight or ten years ago turkeys
could bhe bought for nine and ten
cents a pound in the market here,
and poultry wagons came in loaded
with them at Thanksgiving and
Christmas time from all directions.
The turkeys that then brought from
one dollar and a half to two dollars
are now worth from three to five and
very scarce at that. In looking over
advertisements for turkey eggs in
poultry journals the prices run from
thirty to fifty cents for a single egg,
and this may be one reason why so |
few are raised.—Margaret Whitney, ‘
Pointers on Hens.
From the time the chick is hatehed,
correct feeding has much to do with
its development. A chick that is
stunted is more or less impaired in
vitality. Anything that has to do
with improper management of the
intended layers affects the number
of gggs they will be able to produce.
I think a hen can lay from 400 to
600 eggs at a profit, but her greatest
profit is returned from the time she
beging to lay until twelve months
have elapsed. The first year's laying
is invariably the best.
| Leghorns and Minorcas can be kept
i until they are two and one-half years
oold with profit. Quite a number of
‘poultry raisgrs have told m® that they
thought hens would return almost as
much. the second yeap as- the first,
even if they did not lay quite so
many eggs. Thepmeat famless in their
secoiid year, beig matured. A pul
let is always more voracious than a
hen, Ido not think that they re
turn as much profit in the second
year; however, 1 always keep my hens
until they are two years old. :
Chicks intended for layers must be
well nourished from birth and never
allowed to stop growing until they
mature. A March or April hatched
pullet of the Leghorn breed will com
mence to lay in October if she comes
from a precocious flock. If she has
been hatched in June or July, do not
expect any eggs until January. In
cold climates this means no egegs,
practically, until spring. A pullet
that has not commenced to lay before
cold weather is usually hard to coax.
Early hatches and continued good
care is the secret of early layers and
hearty fowls.—Commercial Poultry.
Better Draft Horse Breeding.
American importers of draft horses
seem to have turned their attention
to the importation of an wunusual
number of pure bred draft mares
this season, in order to meet a larger
demand for these, as well as to do
more pure breeding of draft horses in
this country. There is an increasing
demand among our farmers who pay
special attention to draft horse grows- g'
ing, and this has prompted the addi- i
tional importation of pure bred |
mares. Hitherto, as a rule, American |
farmers have been content to provide |
themselves with pure bred draft stal- |
lions and limited their horse breeding |
to high grades, and for this purposo?
have used the best grade mares in |
this line for such purposes, contents
with growing good grades that sell{
on the market at S2OO to $250 at twc |
to three years old. ;
It is a good indication of the com- |
ing industry to see this growing con- l
fidence In better horses, and is in|
keeping with the forward farm move- |
‘ment in everything else. The con-l
‘tinued demand and fair prices for |
i really good grade draft horses is indi- |
cation enough that, notwithstandlng}
}the increase of autos and power
transfer wagons, the horse will con-[
%tlnue to fill a place in commercial |
‘affairs, and the best of the draft class |
will be more and more in demand. ]
From all sources we learn that the
importations of draft and coach
horses, stallions and mares are now
arriving in this country in much
greater numbers than in past years,
and what is more, American import
ers are selecting abroad and buying
the best and highest priced horses.
Numerous prize winners abroad are
being imported, and it looks as if
Europe is rapidly losing a great dea!
of the best horse blood she has, al
of which means an advance movemen
in breeding in this country.—lndians

mere, challis, voile and the like are
to be extensively worn this season.
This model has the great advantage
of allowing a choice of the chemisette
edged with banding or of a plainer
waist with the tucks extended to the
collar and made of one material
throughout. The sleeves are dis
tinctly novel and graceful and can be
made with the long deep cuffs match
ing the blouse of one material extend
ing over the wrists or can be cut off
in three-quarter lengths, all new
styles being popular for blouses of
the sort. They are laid in tucks at
the inside edges and fall in graceful
folds at the other.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing, and itself consists of the front
and the backs. It is laid in fine
tucks, and when the chemisette is
used it is cut out on indicated lines.
The sleeves are in one piece each,
but arranged over fitted linings,
made with upper and under portions,
and these linings are faced to form
deep cuffs.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year gize is three and
three-quarter yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two ahd a half yards
thirty-two or two and one-quarter
yards forty-four inches wide with
seven-eighth yard of all-over lace and
one and seven-eighth yards of band

The New Stylish Short Coat.
‘While the more stylish new models
in coats are seven-eighths length, still
the square and cutaway coats that
reach nearly to the knees are in good
style.
Dusky Blue.
The new color that is a good deal
talked about with the designers is
known as dusky blue. It comes in
mousseline, in suede, in cloth and in
plumes.
’ Torchon Lace.
Many sets of underiinen made for
the brides and debutantes of the com
ing seasun are trimmed with real tor
chon lace. This is a durable, gervice
able lace that should never have gone
out of fashion.
: Misses’ Five Gored Skirt,
The skirts that close at the front,
in what is known as coat style, are
among the latest developments of
fashion and are exceedingly smart in
effect. They suit young girls admir
ably well, and this one will be found
available for the future as well as
for presgnt needs. In the illustration
it is made of serge stitched and
closed with buttons and buttonholes,
and serge is favorite for the present
and incoming seasons, but linen, pop
linette and the like are charming so
made, and new skirts of the sort are
quite likely to be in demand, while
also all the heavier gkirting ani suit
ing materials will be found admir
anle.
The skirt is cut on the new lines,
and gives the fashionable slender ef
fect to the figure, yet it has widih
epough at the lower edge to mean
comfort in walking. It ean be made
with habit back or inverted pleats as
liked. There are five gores and the
front gore is finished with 4 hem at
its left edge and buttoned over onto

Pinch Prince of Swindlers.
Antwerp Police Have “Count De Toulouse-Lautrec”
—Disgraced Russian Officer Was Arrested in New
Vork, Chicago and Many European Cities—Siberian
Ex-Convict, He Sought to Rule Bulgaria .....ccoviiiiuinns
The Count de Toulovse-Lautrec,
famous in several countries as a
swindler, was arrested recently at
Antwerp, Belgium, charged with cash
ing stolen coupons. He protested
against his arrest on the ground that
he was an American citizen and dis
played naturalization papers issued in
Illinois. It was found on investiga
tion that he had been released but
recently from Siberia. He has been
in prisen for fraud in half the civil
ized countries of the world.
Nicolas Erasmus Savine is perhaps
the most notorious swindler now liv
ing. He styles himself Count de Tou
louse-Lautrec because of a marriage
which he says took place-between his
father, a general in the Russian im
perial army, and a Countess of the
emigre house of Toulouse-Lautrec.
He was born in Russia in 1855. Un
der the name of Savine he held a
commission In the Russian Imperial
Guard. He was of an excellent fam
ily and had a considerable fortune,
' At one time he seemed to be on the
I road to high honors. He fought gal
lantly in the war of 1876 between
' Russia and Turkey and received three
. wounds at Plevna. After the war,
' however, he fell into evil ways. He
- became entangled in Nihilistic plots
and he took to gambling. Some
- where about 1880 his entire fortune
. was dissipated, and he was obliged to
' resign from the army.
| With the equipment of a handsome
} presence, an _unusually complete edu
cation and a wide and influential ac
, quaintance, he started for Paris and
- began his career as a swindler. His
- apartments became the headquarters
for the most reckless gamblers of the
} capital and Savine was successful in
| plucking them. Soon afterward, he
. worked his way into the secret diplo
matic service of four Governments at
the same time, selling the military
secrets of the each to the other three.
' About this time he married Mlle.
Clemence Vervoort. This lady ap
plied for a divorce from him in 1902
on the ground that he had deceived”
her at the time of their marriage by
pretending to be the Count de Tou
louse-Lautrec. The French courts
upheld the plea, and the French
gcions of the old house of Toulouse-
Lautrec indignantly repudiated Sa
vine. He, however, insists with an
earnestness that is not simulated that
he is the head of the Prussian branch
of the family, which was established
at the tiQe of the French Revalution.
~ Driven from Paris at last, Savine
made his mfi-@éfli"flfiiflfl, iust after
the deposition of Prince Alexander,
when Stambuloff was ruling the coun
try as dictator.” With a Dbeautiful
and clever woman named Madeleine
he had been doing several cities of
Europe, including Monte Carlo, and
in 1886 he found himself with her in
Venice. According to his own story
of the events which followed, Savine
became friendly with Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, and the latter sug
gested-that Savine make a try for the
Bulgarian throne.
With a retinue wardrobed through
the kindness of Don Carlos, Savine
and Madeleine started for Sofia, and
soon arrangements were made with
Stambuloff for the carrying out of
Savine's desires. The “count” then
went to Constantinople to secure the
approval of the Sultarn. and while
there was arrested at the request of
NEW LAW WILL -
PROTECT TIMBER. -~ -
Louisiana Would Prevent Cutting
of Trees Less Than Twelve
inches in Diameter,
If the Legislature of Louisiana
passes the forestry law proposed by
the Governor of that State, and said
to have the support of the largest tim
ber owners, it will be the most ad
vanced step yet taken by any State
to regulate timber cutting on private
lands.
By the terms of the proposed
statute, the cutting of trees under
twelve inches in diameter, four feet
from the ground, will not be per
mitted. The law does not apply to
those who in good faith wish to clear
the land for agricultural purposes,
or who need the timber on -the
ground for roads or ditches, or in the
case of an owner or tenant who uses
the wood for domestic purposes.
The lumberman will be required to
fell his trees in a way to cause the
least damage to young timber, and the
refuse must not be left where its
presence will invite fire or otherwise
endanger the small trees. The pen
alty provided for violations of the
proposed law is a fine of $25 to SIOO
for each offense, and imprisonment
may be added. Each tree wrongfully
cut will constitute a separate offense.
The proposed law not only delimits
offenses and names penalties, but also
sets forth the reasons why such a law
i 8 thought advisable. 4
Timber is becoming scarce, it says,
and ought not to be needlessly wast
ed, Forest destruction will carry
with it other evils besides dearth o 7
wood. It will cause destruction, suii
erosion and increase floods and
droughts, to the damage of the whole
people. The forests ought not be
wholly cut down, the proposed law
further says, because they assist in
ebsirueting disastrous tornadoes,
]the Russian authorities and hustled
ito St. Petersburg. Of Savine dnad
i Madeleine, Stambuloff said in hig
i memoirs: :
| “There was in Eurone at one time
jan association much more dreadful
| than that of the Thirteen celebrated
'by Balzac, for the secret of it was
Inever discovered, and it was com
posed entirely of two individuals, a
man and a woman.
“Imagine two beings full of genius,
witty to the tips of their fingernails,
knowing everything, able to describe
| everything, disabused from every
thing, believing in nothing, having
neither God nor soul nor conscience,
learning, speaking all languages,
young in spite of Methuselah’s ex
perience.
“Suppose that, united by an in
comparable admiration, these two
beings should have given themselves
to each other unreservedly, and you
will comprehend what must have been
the invincible strength of these two
accomplices.”
The Russians having got hold of
Savine, made short work of sending
him to Siberia.. He served a term at
hard labor at Tomsk and at its close
in 1894 was sent to Vladivostok as a
colonist. Thence he escaped into
Korea and took ship for San Fran
cisco, where he nosed as a contractor
for the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
In 1895 he beat his way to Chicago,
and there he was scon arrested for
larceny. He wriggled out of that and
came to New York, where he was ar
rested, charged with assaulting a
Tenderloin cabby. The Russian Con
sul-General made a statement in
which he denounced the “count” as
an imposter, and the count challenged
the Consul-General to a duel as soon
as he should be released.
He was acquitted in General Ses
sions. The Consul-General laughed
at his challenge and in 1900 he was
again arrested in Chicago on a charge
of circulating $500,000- worth of
fraudulent Cuban war bonds. His
wife was with him at the time. The
arrest was made at the request of the
Canadian police. He was taken to
Montreal and sentenced to five years
in a penitentiary.
l He was released on parole,
swindled a number of peonle by an
other stock and bond deal and was
‘nabbed in New York in December,
1901, just as he was taking a steamer
for France. He had no ticket, and
only S3B in his clothes when arrested.
‘His wife had returned to France
while he was in the Canadian peniten
tiary. The Canadian Government had
‘had enough of him and didn’t apply
for his extradition, so he was re
‘Teased, '~ " .
In 1903 he was arrested in Lisbon
and again turned over to the Russian
authorities, against the protest of
Germany, which wanted him for a
number of frauds in that country.
He was started off for Siberia again
for writing letters to various people
from the Emperor William down, es
caped, and in 1905 was arrested at
Bremen and taken back to Russia.
At this time he had $50,000 in his
possession. He was sent to Siberia
for a third time, but again escaped.
Savine attributes the greater part
of his troubles with the police of
Europe and America to persecution
on the part of Russian agents because
of his attempt to be chosen Prince of
Bulgaria.—New York Sun.

f The Supreme Court of Maine re
cently ruled that that State may law
{ fully restrict the clearing of privately.
‘owned forest land if the public would
be injured by such clearing. Louis
iana’s proposed law goes still furth-r
in the same direction and follows the
lines of the opinion rendered by the
‘Maine Supreme Court. It is worthy
‘of note that the two States which are
iflrst to take this advanced stand in
forest protection are 1500 miles apart
‘and have forests not at all alikg in
character, different soils, climates
with few points in common, crops of
wholly different kinds, geography and
topography of opposite extremes, yet
each realizes the immense importance
of its forests and how essential their
protection is to the continued pros

Premier Hazen, who returned
home after a canoeing trip on the
Tobique River with Surveyor-General
Grimmer and members of their fami

One night Mr, Griminer, Miss
Grimmer, Miss Hazen and two guides
were in a canoe with a lantern pad
dling around to ecatch sight of a
moose. In the shallow water they
passed a big bull. The light was so
placed that he could not sce the ca
noe. Some one changed the position
of the lantern, and it flashed in the
animal’'s eye. Frightened, it sprang
for shore, with the result that its
fore feet landed in the canoe and the
moeose brushed against the Surveyor-
General. Another bound and the
moose was over them and the caroe
sank with all hands in the water. It
was shallow, so there was nothing
worse than a ducking.—St. John Cor
