It is stated that tbe stay of Admiral Prince Henry in this country has not been determined and will depend some what on the wlBbea of hiB brother.

Baker, says, after exhaustive investiga tion, tbat tbe chemicals used in tbe adulteration of fllour sugar and other articles of diet are, he is convinced, re sponsible for wholesale loss of life. According to this authority the chem icals used in tbe manufacture of adul terants are permitted to remain in tbe, food products wben finished, as the food makers cannot utilize the product commercially or profitably it tbe chem ical Is removed. An analysis of the most staple articles of food, such as bread, sugar and meat, purchased at random from reputable dealers, yield?, according to thiB testimony, large quan. tlties of acid adulterants. In the case of meat the preserving liquids are sai| to be especially prolific of poisonous substances In the analytical Staple foods, such as flour, sugar and meat products, which enter into the daily dietary of the people as a whole must te proteoted at any cost. It is not enough for pure food inspectors to maintain well equipped labratorles for testing tbe scores of manufactured food produots that enter but meagerly into the people's daily dietary.

P. McArthur, In The Outlook.— Hog Notes. A sow that does not prove a good mother should be discarded. Change the bedding of tbe sows reas onably often. hiB Tbe boarB should have abundant ex ercise aod'a good variety of food. There is no possible advantage in permitting more than one service. Never breed to an animal that has developed a bad disposition. A vicious sow will, as a rule, produce pige having tbe same faults. Tbe value of a sow as a breeder does not consist of her prolilicaesa alone quality is also an item. The chief tvila resulting from in breeding are debility, weakness of con stitution and infertility. When several sows are kept It is quite an item so far as can be done to have tbem farrow aB near together aB pos sible. Tbe aulmals selected for breeding purposes should be fed and cared for, so as to produce most thrifty habits. The normal condition of animals is more or less bffectud by the changes of the temperature and results from the same feeding are varied. So far as can be done, arrange the hog troughs so that the hogs cannot get their feet in them. All stock will thrive better and grow faster if they are not compelled to carry a heavy load of fat. The early breeding invariably stunts the growth and prevents the proper de velopment of tbe frame. Usually there is more danger in caB trating an extremely fat pig than a poor one. When a young pig becomes too tat the heart is one of the Urst organs to suffer. The most popular breed of bogs is tbat for which early maturity and good size are claimed. In selecting the breeding stock select those from dams that are regular breed «rs. Tbe evenness and regularity of the feeding mark the degree of success in putting hogs for market. If there is any coarseness on either side let it be on tbe side of the sow rather than the boar.—Farmer's Tri bune. .f Good Stock Required. In a western agricultural journal of recent date there was tbe following ad vice to farmers: "When purchasing bulls for the dairy, do not get the high er priced or the best quality, but get pedigree stock. Get the best only when buying to raise beef stock, the poorer quality will help oat your dairy herd and will answer every purpose in that direction as well as a costly animal This IB and journey in land, where be will be able to Bee uuch German cities as Cincinnati, Cleveland, Zttuesville, Daylon, Chicago, Milwau kee, Davenport, St. Louis, and many otberB, aud the people of Interior Iowa would be more than pleased to have bim call at Cedar Bapids as a central city in tbe midst of the German rural population of tbe state, so ,(bat he might hear "The Watch on the* Rhine" rendered away from home and observe how the conditions of a republic agree with bis one-time fellow citizens in all the walks of life,—Cedar Bapids Gazette. queer advice certainly /to dairyman, and evidently Bbows breedB fi Bbouid teBts. Perhaps tbo most disquieting asser tion by Mr. Baker, which is deliberately made, is tbat even the best grades ot flour are not chemically pure aud that many of the grades are found to be adulterated fully 85 per cent, surely it is incumbent upon tbe pure food in spectors appointed and maintained under tbe pure food laws of this and other Btates to find out by scientific means wbetber or not such an assertion is true. v» tbat in tbat part of the country, where this journal is located, the breeding of stock for beef takes the precedence entirely of tbat devoted to dairy purposes. Tbe breeding and growing of stock for beef is a great and important industry in the west, as is well known all over the United States, and one has only to read the papers particularly devoted to the interests ot beef production and ex amine the advertising patronage, to en able him to decide at once as to tbe magnitude of this vast industry and the of cattle that are largely fa vored for this kind of business. The weBt particularly excelis in this depart' ment of farming, and it iB no more than right that it should be advanced to the greatest possible extent. The advice tbat those angagsd in tbe production of beef secure tbe best bullB pos sible for breeding purposes, is timely and accurate, iiere is the beginning of tbe whole matter. Thus far, all is correct, but wben it is plainly intimated that in selecting a bull for the dairy .herd a poorer qual ity or lower priced animal will do *.% s«» iHU MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1902.

"Tbe most disappointed man I ever saw," said a Baltimore financier, "was a poor %vretcli who was about to be hanged lu one of tbe northeastern counties of Maryland. I happened to be there about the time and accepted an Invitation to witness the execution. "This fellow's lawyers had been working hard to save his neck, and there seemed to be some possibility that be might be reprieved. The time set for tbe execution arrived, however, and the sheriff mild& plana to carry out the execution. The march to the scaffold had begun, and the prisoner was about to mount tbe steps when messenger urrlved, waving a telegram In his hand. "The procession was at once stopped, and the sheriff took the telegram, but saw that It was addressed to tbe con demned man. He handed it to tbe fel low. who, trembling with hope, tore open the envelope. He cast his eager glance nt the message, paled and let it drop from bis hand. The sheriff picked up tbe paper, read it, and the march to tbe scaffold was resumed. In a few minutes the man who bad hoped for a reprieve was In eternity.

"Well, I should hope so." "I begged blm to go on, but he said some other time would do just aa well." You begged him to go on?" 'Why, yes. I didn't want to spoil the fun, you know." Ob, you brute! Do you mean to say that you could have looked calmly on while he beat his wife?" J"CertaInly. Why not?" •I tbought you had at 1 least a spark of manhood left. I suppose you will be beating me next."

Got Hla Price, over on the eaat stde of tha city," said a New Yorker, "lies the shop of a well known butcher, who rejoices in tbe euphonious and sug gestive name of 'Four Cent Miller.' He sells meat in smallest quantity to his customers, and, as the coin of the realm in that locality is principally conspicuous by its absence, there is a constant effort to beat him down in price. Tbe other day Miller and a would be customer all but came to blows over a pound or so of pork chops, and the discussion finally culminated In Miller irately demanding: 'Well, why don't you go to Smith (a rival butcher) if you can get tbem cheaper?' "'Because,' explained the customer, 'Smith hasn't got any.' "(Oh!* said MUler, 'is that so? Well, when I haven't got any my price will be 4 cents, too, but while I have they cost 7 cents. See?' "The customer saw and purchased." —New York Tribune. Alsiks'i Inhoapttable Interior. In the vast and almost unknown In terior of Alaska tbe climate Is arctic. Tbe winter Is of eight months' dura tion, dry and, excepting certain re stricted localities, entirely free from wind. The temperature descends as low as SO degrees, with a mean of per haps 40 degrees. Ice forms tn the rivers and lakes to a thickness of eight feet and more. Summer extends over four months. During its earliest month high winds prevail. The bal ance of this short season is mild and tbe temperature pleasant, rarely ex ceeding 80 degrees.

In museums and elsewhere our wise eyed friends are set up with three toes in front of and one behind tbe perch on wblcb they are seated.

How 1* this?—New York Press. jUBt as well, there 1B evidently a misunder standing in the matter, or tbe writer has not made it sufficiently plain in Btating ft. There should be the best ot males for both these purposes, out tbe animals may and should vary much in size, contour and general make up. One breed will anawer a good purpose In beef production, to which it has been particularly bred, but not for the dairy, so it may be said on the other hand tbat a certain breed is best for tbe dairy but would make a poor showing In the pro duction of beef. The bull from tbe breed selected may indeed cost more than the one for the dairy, but tbat should not answer as an argument in tbe case. Breeders of fine dairy stock would not think much of the advice in favor of getting a poor quality or cheap male for the use in the herd, when the idea should be to get a "little better one than the last used" and tbuB keep tbe herd continually improving. Pedigree (B all right, if satisfactory, hut It should trace back through a line of an cestry tbat shows a decided tendency to a profitable production of milk and butter or cbeese, and not of beef. Such stock is consequently of the beet qual ity and usually CQmmandB good priceB Let there be no mistake here. It is just as necessary and important to get males of the greatest possible or in trinsic value or quality for the perpet uating of the best dairy Btock, as tbat for beef.
