VANDAL1A.
Believing that a few lines from
this point might be acceptable to
the mkssauF. editor for his first
issue, I send you the following
short communication. The large
list of subscribers von have been
promised here will be g!nd to know
you have remembered them by pro
viding a correspondent at the start.
Vandnlia and her people are greatly
pleased to know there is to be n
county seat paper published which
a dollar can buy for a year. All
whom I have talked with are very
enthusiastic over the venture, and
if other parts of the county re
spond as readily as this, the
MESSAGE is certain of success. We
hope and pray for and predict suc
cess for the Message, and here's
our hand.
At a recent meeting of the city
couucil it was decided to hereafter
make Main street the dividing line
between the First and Second
wards. Mention wos made of it at
the time by the local papers, but
aside from that nothing has been
said about it. It is one of the best
moves the council has made for a
long time. It is hoped the people
north and south of the railroad
may have less trouble in the future.
Our little city was thrown into
wild excitement on Tuesday on ac
count of two men who resisted the
officer who ordered their arrest on
the charge of stealing chickens and
turkeys. When Marshall Good
pasture went up to one of them and
told hint that he was his prisoner
he knocked the Marshall down.
The other party drew his revolver
on the Marshall and was about to
shoot him when the Marshall called
for assistance. John Adkins who
was near by thought to save the
Marshall's life, drew his gun, and
at this the desperado turned his
gun on Adkins and fired, missing
him, and instantly Adkins fired at
him and shot a hole through his
coat. At this the fellow with the
gun shot at Atkins and fled, whet:
John Smelser, the mayor, pursued
him aout a half mile with a Win
chester .and arrested him and
brought him back, the other man
being held by the crowd. Last
night they were tried before the
mayor and fined $15 and $20 re
spectively. The meu were put in
the calaboose and during the night
they pried the bars off the window

"Starter' In l'bfmkkla(.
Prof. Campbell, before the Highland
(Scotland) Agricultural Society, said:
1. Flrgt-rlass Cheddar cheese can
be made by using pure culture! ot a
lactic organism. 2. Tbta organlira
abounds In all samples ot sour milk
and sour whey. 3. The system rec
ommended for the preparation of a
home-made starter Is one which exerta
a purifying Influence upon the bacte
rial content of the starter, and reaulta
In the elimination of bacteria which
lire unnecessary If net harmful to the
production of a fl rut-class material.
4. The UBe of a whey starter la at
tended with results equal In every way
to those obtained from a milk starter.
Of theso results by far the moat Im
portant is that which allows that a
home-mudo starter, if carefully pre
pared, comes after a few days to be
practically a pure culture of the bac
teria desired.
Preparation of a Home-Made Start
er. In order to prepare a home-made
starter the dairyman has to secure two
enameled palls provided with covers.
In the one he pours freah skimmed
milk, and then seta It In a fairly warm
place, so that in about twenty-four
hours the milk, will be both sour and
thick. When this baa occurred he
skims off the surface, breaks u the
center of the mass and takes out halt
a pint. This ho adds to sklmmllk
which has previously been ecaldej
from 155 to ISO deg. V. and aubse
quently cooled to about 65 or 70 dega.
On the following morning thla should
also bo sour and thick, or the tempera
turn of setting has been too low.
Again the Biirface Is skimmed, half
a pint extracted ns before, which in
turn Is added to a third quantity ot
scalded milk. Tho temperature at
which tho second and all succeeding
starters are mndo up must be deter
mined by each worker for hlmaelf; it
will depend upon the temperature ot
the room where the pall la kept dur
ing tho night. On the third day the
starter produced In thla way, If of a
creamy consistence, may be used tor
making tho cheese a portion, how
ever, being retained to prepare a atart
er for the following day.
This process may be repealed day
after day, and If performed In a care
ful and cleanly manner It will go on
throughout the season yielding good
results. As already explained, the op
eration Is one which In a very few
days eliminates undesirable bacteria.
Migratory Weads.
Injurious migratory weeda are uau
ully first Introduced Into cities aad
spread from them to the farma, saye
a contributor to Itural World. There
are 11 dozen chances for the original

lettuce has usually been flrat observed
In cities and towns In Us remarkably

ItiisHlan thistle was first Introduced
Into the railed States on a farm, but
being taken to tho cities, It now Uioat
frequently uprcails from them to the
farms. In many Instances these Intro

deal roved upon their first appearance
In the cities and towns, and million
of dollars' ilaniHge to tho farmers thus
averted.
(iood and Poor Cider.-Cider made
from windfalls and green applea, which
contain a much lens proportion of
hiigar than ripe apples, la consequently
the poorest, being sour and watery.
Where the apples are green but well
matured, the quality of the cider made
from them will lie found vastly Im
proved liy the simple procea of throw
ing them In nmall ptlcH In tho orchard
anil allowing them to ripen. Whra a
first -class elder i.s desired it la neces
miry to select the fruit. If you have
been in Hip tiut.lt of throwing In half -niaiuied,
