Make Food Adulteration a Felony.
A painstaking food expert, George S.
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. Tbey
should begin at the. foundation and
give us assurance that tbe staple food
products are unadulterated before

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

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

.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

Perhaps tbo most disquieting asser

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

ment of farming, and it iB no more than
right that it should be advanced to the

sible for breeding purposes, is timely
and accurate, iiere is the beginning of
tbe whole matter.

An Awfvl Disappointment.
"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.
"The message was from some minis

"I say Perkins was beating his wife,
but of course be stopped when I came

"Well, I should hope so."
"I begged blm to go on, but he said

You begged him to go on?"
'Why, yes. I didn't want to spoil

Ob, you brute! Do you mean to say
that you could have looked calmly on

J"CertaInly. Why not?"
•I tbought you had at 1

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?'

Alsiks'i Inhoapttable Interior.
In the vast and almost unknown In

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

tbe temperature pleasant, rarely ex

It is alleged that taxidermists are

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. Let the two ideas—as to
