BOERS AND THE LOCUSTS,
Why They Refuse to Exterminate These
South African Pests,
? correspondent writes of the numer
ous swarms of locusts which from time
to time settle on South African farms,
and the method by which the farmers
destroy them. The locusts cover every
thing, and are described as blotting out
the sun in their flight till It seemed
shining through an orange mist. The
rush of their wings fills the air with
sound like the roaring of a storm
through a pine forest, and the bodies
of those which, wearied with flight, fell
to the earth covered the ground like
a living carpet. Seen at a little dis
tance, the main body of the swarm re
sembles a snowstorm, the wings dia
phanous in fke sunlight, drifting along
before the wind, or sinking softly
toward the ground. It ls Impossible
to ride through the living mass, as the
buffeting of the face and hands of the
rider becomes intolerable. As seen from
behind the swarm is visible for miles,
trailing across the country like ? big
band of smoke floating along before the
breeze. When the swarm alights it
destroys every green blade of vegeta
tion, and leaves behind lt a track of
ruin and desolation. A method of deal
ing with the pests with fair effective
ness, even in the fully developed fly
ing insect stage, has been discovered
In the colony. A fungus has been
found which thrives rapidly on their
bodies with invariably fatal effect. The
disease spreads with extraordinary
rapidity, and if once a swarm be infect
ed the whole mass of Insects disappears
In a few days' time. Cultures of the
fungus are supplied to the farmers by
Ih? government, and when a swarm
approaches a neighborhood all the far
mer has to do ls to ride out with a
can of the material and a sprinkler of
twigs, and sprinkle lt here and there
on the Insects as they fly past him.
In a few days there will be an end of
that particular swarm. It ls mention
ed as characteristic of the local Dutch,
that they refuse to have anything to
do with the new method of exermlnat
Ing what ls one of the greatest ob
stacles to successful farming In South
Arfrica. They say God created the lo
custs and it is sinful to destroy them.
A Carious Accident
At Sheffield. England, recently, a cu
rious accident occurred. A passenger
was riding on a double deck electrical
car. and a single deck car passed In the
opposite direction. The rope* of the
trolley boom of the latter was flying
In the wind, and it wound Itself around
the passengers* neck. Fortunately he
bad the presence of mind to seize the
rope with both hands and release him
self, or he Would probably have been
pulled from the car.
The Trust Problem.
To a thoughtful mind, the trust problem is
on? of serious import. It must be firmly
grappled with, for it creeps upon society be

AfiENTS
TO TELL GOOD BUTTER
THINCS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT
THAT CREAT STAPLE.
Quality and Quantity of This Country's
Product Vastly Added to by the Adop
tion of Scientific Methods-Tho West
Now the Great Kutter Makins District.
Denmark is the great butter pro
ducing country In the world,
but the United States is a
good second, and the cream
ery industry which declined a few
years ago on account of a fall in but
ter prices is once more booming.
Twenty years ago the-United States
knew very little about scientific but
ter making. The New York butter,
supply came from the small dairies of
the farmers throughout the state, and
Its'quality, depending largely upon
the mood and skill of the farmers'
wives and daughters, was as variable
as March weather. Anything like a
uniform quality was practically an
impossibility.
"Occasionally," said the butter buy
er for one of New York's largest re
tail grocery finns to a Sun reporter,
"a man-the same man who
talks about the pies his mother
used to make-bewails the pass
ing of the good old purple tubs
of country butter. Now, the fact is
that we couldn't to-day dispose of the
kind of butter we used to sell. Our
customers wouldn't have lt They
are used to uniformly good butter, and
they will not put up with any lower
ing of the quality. Of course, there is
bad butter on the market. Some of
the creameries tum out an Inferior
article. So much depends upon the
breeding of the cows and their care,
the kind of pasture, the skill of the
workers; and those things vary. A
short time ago competition in the
creamery business was so great and
profit so smull that a good many
creameries tried to cut down expenses
by hiring cjieap workmen. The effect
was seen immediately in the quality
of the butter. Just at this season
there's a fault in much of the butter
that is a result of carelessness or false
economy on the part of the farmers.
The pasturage is still very scanty; but
in order to save heavy feeding and to
Improve the color of the butter the
cows are turned out to grass. There's
very little grass, but there's plenty of
wild garlic, and the cows like it. The
people who use the milk and cream
and butter don't. Thea 's the diffi
culty. Much of the buttertin the mar
ket has more or less what we call the
onion flavor and is objectionable on
that account. Either the farmers
should hove the pasture examined
carefully and tho wild garlic rooted
out or tlie cows should be fed. until the
pasture is more luxuriant. After the
clover and thick gross comes the cow
Will turn up her nose at the garlic.
"June is the best butter mouth, be
cause the pasture is at its best then;
and, as a consequence, the butter made
then has better keeping qualities than
any other. Almost all the butter
stored for winter use and for purposes
of speculation is June butter. Of
course, the price is low In June: that's
another reason why June butter ls
bought for speculation. There are a
good many kinds of fancy butter on
the maket-butter put up in smull pats
by certain creameries and supposed to
be extra good. The cows used by these
dealers are fed with special care on
clover hay, Indian meal, etc.; and the
butter is put up in attractive shape
and sold at a fancy price. I don't
know that, as a rule, it is any better
than tlie regular,, creamery butter;
Out . some | of- -our -.-customers will
huve it. M??K? of it comes from
Penusysvaniu i^rmers. As a general
thing, though, the Individual larmer
can't compete with the creamery.
"Butter making is an exact science
now and the farmer's wife who thought
she knew all about it isn't in it with
the centrifugal machine, and the
weighing, machines, and the Pasteur
izing apparatus. It's a good cow that
can produce a pound of butter a day
for nine months out of the year. Now
take the cost of keeping and feeding
the cow, the cost of making the butter,
the cost of the tubs, the cost of ship
ping, and the profits of the wholesale
and retail dealers. Add all those items
together, and remember that butter is
selling for 25 cents a pound. Where
are you going to figure out any profit
for the small farmer? So to-day,
butter making must be done on a large
scale and by scientific methods in
order to be profitable."
The West Isthehomeof the creamery
industry to-day. Illionis, Iowa, Min
nesota, Nebraska and neighboring
states produce 85 per cent, of the but
, ter on the market, and the market
price is determined by the Chicago
board of trade, although New York
city is the greatest distributing centre.
The Eastern farmers, who originally
had control of the industry, were too
conservative to adopt the scientific
methods introduced with admirable
result* in Denmark. The West saw its
opportunity. Large creameries were
established In the Mississ ppl states,
Denmark methods were closely
copied, and the Eastern farmer Und
ing that butter making had gonv out
of his hands, fell back upon milk anti
cheese. Recently, however, the wave
that surged westward has been rei
ceding, and the East, New York in
particular, having at last awakened
to a realization that the new methods
are necessary, has been setting up a
number of large creameries.
? Although the West has been doing
the business, the East can console It
self with the thought that it has, at
least, been furnishing the science.
The pestive germ has had a great
field in butter. Over in Denmark
scientists made amazing and unappe
tizing discoveries in regard to the
bacteria in butter; and a Pasteuriz
ing process was promptly applied.
That settled the bacteria, but it also
settled the butter. Oermless butter
proved sadly without flavor. The
scientists went to work once more and
found, by experiment, just what
bacteria were a feature of the best but
ter: These aristocrats among germs
were then propagated carefully and
Introduced in judicious quantities into
the butter, after Pasteurization had
wiped out all plebeian bacteria. The
up-to-date creameries all use the pro
cess now. The cream is subjected to a
temperature of UV) degrees, and then
is inoculated with pure culture.
' One of the greatest authorities on
the culture of bacteria for butter is
a Boston man, who develops the cul
ture in his laboratory and sells lt all
through the West. So new laurels are
due Boston. She's inculcating even
the butter of the laud with pure cul
ture.
The centrifugal machine ls another
great factor in modern butter making.
Through it the cream is separated
from the milk more thoroughly than
was ever possible In the old process.
Not five-tenths cf 1 per cent, cream
remains with the milk. Ordinarily a
large creamery is a co-operative affair,
th? farmers of the neighborhood hav
ing a share In lt and furnishing the
! milk. The farmer brings his milk to
front of the building where lt ls ac
curately weighed. Then he drives
around to the back of the building
where the milk ls delivered to him
again, having in the meantime passed
through the centrifugal machine and
been separated from the cream. The
skim milk ls taken buck to the farm
and fed to the stock. Almost-nil but
ter has a small percentage of coloring
matter-the winter butter containing
more because lt is Naturally whiter
than butter made during the summer
when the POW? uro iii pasture. Less
coloring matter is used than former
ly, anil the publie hus been educated
to a lighter-colored butter.
As for the adulteration of butter,
stringent laws have practically done
away with it. Oleomargarine ls on
the market In large quantities, but the
law requires that it shall be stamped
as oleomargarine, Moreover, there is
a law in XeW York forbidding under
severe penalty tho use of any color
ing matter in oleomargarine which, in
its natural condition, is white and
easily distinguished from butter.
Some unscrupulous retail dealers do
sell oleomargarine os butter, but the
risk is now so great that few are will
ing to take it.
The successful butter buyer needs
long experience and n marvellously
educated palate. He must be nble to
judge the grnin of the butter, its keep
ing quality and the amount of color
ing matter used in it. If there is the
slightest foreign flavor in it he must
know to what it is due, and how it
will effect the butter In course of
time. The expert can give a shrewd
guess at the food of the cows from
whose milk the butter has been made,
and cnn detect In a second any care
lessness in the making. Much of the
fault pf the butter as served on the
table is due to the handling and
storing, rather than to the making.
"If we could only accomplish a
lightning transfer from the wholesale
house to thc table," said a well known
retail dealer, "there would be less
complaint about butler. By thc time
it is brought from the wholesale to th?
retail house, cut up and stored here,
taken out and carted around in de
livery wagons with all sorts of other
packages, carelessly handled and left
lying around the kitchen at the house
where it is delivered, tucked away in
a refrigerator with watermelon and
meat and fruit, and finally served in
a hot, smelly kitchen, even the best
butter has lost a good deal of its
purity and sweetness."
The exportation of butter is, of
course, governed by thc price prevail
ing here; but it reaches large figures
each year. Last year 113,000 tubs of
batter were sent to Europe and
5.500.000 tubs to tho West Indies and
South America.
BIRD LANCUACE.
Feathered Creature? liare fi Vocabulary
That IM Very KxpreKiilvp.
The Oriental stories of the wise men
who understood the language of birds
are a type or prefiguring of certain in
vestigations which are now being car
ried on by men of science in tin.
United States and elsewhere. Prot.
Nelson R. Wood of the National Mu
seum at Washington, has made an in
formal report on this subject which
is interesting. He declares that re
searches are in progress which, in tho
near future, will greatly enlarge om
knowledge of the language of birds,
and will present proof of the remark
able elaboration and detail of some
these bird "languages."
These are not "languages" in the or
dinary human sense* that they are de
veloped into words more or less mo
notonously spoken, and depending on
the alternation of consonantsandvow
els for their definition; but by a great
many and various sounds the birds
express a considerable number of dif
ferent feelings, and their calls and
cries are always understood, and ir
there is occasion, heeded by other
birds. These feelings include alarm,
love, 'jealousy, contentment, pain and
pleasure.
Professor Wood asserts that tho
common crow has a vocabulary more
expressive and of a wider range than
that of many of the finest song birds.
And tho American wild turkey af
fords ono of the best illustrations of the
versatility of bird language. Tho
turkey has a perfectly distinguishable
vocabulary of at least a dozen words.
Its constant peril from half a dozen
sources, overhead and underfoot, has
rendered it necessary that it shall pos
sess a special call or alarm .for each
of these Tils.
For danger from overhead, as from
a hawk or an eagle, the. turkey has a
low note, well drawn out. which cau
tions every member of a flock. For
immediate danger it gives un entirely
different note, quick, sharp, tremulous,
which is instantly taken by the other
turkeys to mean. "Hide! hide instant
ly! The enemy! the enemy!"
When danger threatens from n lox
or a dog a distinctly di It?rent siir?al
must be used. It signifies "Talco
wing!" and the turkeys wlio hear lt
are instantly in the air.
. The same note is used when there is
other danger on the ground, only the
note is prolonged instead of being
quickly uttered, and In this case thc
turkeys do not at once take to flight;
but the feeding ceases, and with necks
stretched to their longest to enable the
eye to see as far as possible, the flock
circles around until it has covered an
area great enough to show that the
alarm was groundless.
.When feeding in a field whore the
food is plentiful and good, the turkey
makes a sound expressive of content
ment, varying at the different stages,
until the final word from the patriarch
of the flock checks thc meal, and away
the birds go.
The common hen is not far behind
the turkey lu her vocabulary. Thc
hen, Frofossor Wood says, is a much
more fluent talker than the rooster.
Her cackle is used for three different
purposes, and cadi cackle is different
from the other cackles. One she uses
when seeing a nest or calling for her
mate; one when she is frightened; ann
another, of a very triumphant sort, as
she flies from or to lier nest.
The hen has songs of three distinct
types-the love song, a happy responso
to her mate; tho song of indifference,
when idly hunting for food, indicating
no certain purpose in her movements;
and, the lullaby sonp. a low, crooning,
soot bing note, bushing thc young
chickens to sleep.
The variations of the notes of birds
seem to be as endless as their needs.

Deeds Drawn by William Peno.
A unique feature of several old
Philadelphia business houses is that
the transfer of the property on which
the buildings stand has been made by
inheritance under the original deed
drawn by William Penn. The old snuff
works, on South Second street, have
been operated ?y successive members
of the Garrett family for 150 years,
and the ground on which the building
stands was deeded by Penn. Although
now In the tobacco trust, one room of
the plant has been reserved for a num
ber of antiquities of the snuff trade,
and here is the original deed of the
proprietor of Pennsylvania. The old
est deed In Pennsylvania ls written In
Dutch-a deed of transfer to William
Penn from a Dutchman who owned
?whnt ls now T,cmon HUI, and who sold
it to Penn. This document Is careful
ly preserved on the sixth floor of the
City Hall.
Old deeds have a certain Intrinsic
value aside from their original pur
pose. A great many colonial deeds
have been bought by gold beaters for
the sake of the superior parchment on
which they were written, as they have
discovered that lt serves the purpose
of "gold beaters' skins." Collectors of
autographs have occasionally come
across valuable finds In these shops.

Horseflesh as Food.
The uso of horseflesh as food ls a
subject which has been brought into
prominence of late owing to the nec
essities to which the beleaguered gar
risons in South Africa have been re
duced. It is, therefore, a matter of
general Interest that certain butcher
in San Francisco have been detected
In using the flesh of the horse as a
substitute for beef In the manufac
ture of sausages and other viands.
There ls nothing unwholesome in using
the flesh of such a clean-feeding ani
mal as the horse, but it ls rightly con
sidered that lt should not be foisted
upon consumers In place of more ex
pensive meats. In many Continental
countries the sale of horseflesh for hu
man food is considerable; but the but
chers are licensed, and the animals are
killed under proper sanitary condi
tions. The New York Medical Jour
nal points out that lt is comparatively
easy to detect the presence of horse
meat even In such small quantities as
ti per cent. The suspected meat ls
boiled for about an hour in a small
quantity of water, which is afterward
reduced by evaporation, cooled, and
filtered. To this liquid a few drops of
compound iodine solution lone part io

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The Best Prescription Is Grove's
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle;
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.
Imitators do not advertise their formula
Knowing that you would not buy their medi
cine if you knew what it contained. Grove's
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Grove's is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste
less" chill tonics are imitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Grove's is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's;-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove's is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, 500

Made a Shilling.
At a Ldrtain cloth factory In Scot
land it wns the custom to fine the
workpeople for turning out bad work.
One day a workman brought a piece of
cloth to be examined, and the manager
found two little holes about an inch
apart. Ile then showed those to the
man and demanded two shillings fine
a shilling for each hole. "Is It a shil
ling for each hole?" aske the man.
"Yes," said the manager. "And Is lt
the same for every hole, big or little?"
"Yes, exactly the same," said the man
ager. "Well, then, I'D save a shilling."
and putting his fingers In the holes, he
quickly made the two into one.-Argo
