William Smith , who was released yesterday from the penitentiary , where hu bad served a two-year term for ob taining money under false pretenses , found a rather Interesting reception awaiting him outside of the prison gates , where he was immediately ar rested on a charge of larceny. This offense was committed before he had served his two-year term. On account of the poor health of the prisoner Judge Palmer exercised great leniency in sentencing him. The deputy sheriff inarched him to the county jail , where he was sentenced to languish for a term of one minute.

Dnlry Note * . * " " 11"1 Wo hear some complaints about the scarcity of white aah wood for the making of butter tubs. It is very pos sible that the exhaustion of the ash forests will compel something ot a i evolution in the butter tubs and even in the ways of packing butter. Al though spruce tubs are used , care must be taken to have the wood In the best of condition. It is always best to pro tect the butter from the wood even when the best kind ot a tub is to be had. * * Some experiments have recently been conducted to test the effect of enormous pressure on the keeping quality of milk. It was found that very heavy pressure did retard the ac tion of the bacteria , to some extent at least. But we fall to see any great advantage to be derived from the dis covery if it may bo called such. The application of enormous pressure Is not attained without expense and the same expense applied to pasteurizing and cooling the milk or cream should accomplish more than when used to pay for pressure. Its only possible use would seem to bo In hot climates where Ice or Ice making machines are not to be had. * Do not spoil the calf. Remember that the dairy cow begins with the calf and Is easiest spoiled while young. To feed a calf on all kinds of fat-form ing foods is to create In her a tendency to make beef and she will bold to that tendency. Better give her food that will develop bone and muscle rather than food that will make her blocky. We frequently see dairy papers urging dairymen to feed their calves on skim milk , first removing the fat and put ting It back In the form of oil meal. But the fat should not be put back at all. The calf docs not need it. As the skim milk will not continue to satisfy the calf , oats may be added with ad vantage , and are superior to corn for developing the frame of the calf. * * * The oleomargarine business In the United States is In a very thriving con dition. In spite of repressive laws the output of the oleomargarine factories yearly Increases , and thit by leaps and jumps. This butterine is always sold at a profit by the retailers , for it Is purchased as butterino and sold as butter. It Is purchased as a cheap product and sold as a high-priced product. In millions of pounds the following have been the amounts man- factured each year since 1888 ( inclu sive ) : 1888 , 21 ; 18S9 , 34 ; 1890 , 35 ; 1891 , 44 ; 1892 , 48 ; 1893 , 07 ; 1894 , 09 ; 1895 , 56 ; 1890 , 50 ; 1897 , 45 ; 1898 , 57 ; 1899 , 87. The figures are for the years ending Juno 30. Wo may expect to see the amount this year ( for the year ending June 30 , 1900) ) reach well up toward a "hundred million pounds. * * A contemporary tells of the patron of a creamery who salted his milk to make it keep over Sunday. He was determined to have It keep and so put in a very largo amount of salt. The result was that the next batch of but ter from that creamery proved to bo very poor , as the cream would not ripen. The butter was complained of in the market , and it took a good deal of Investigating on the part of the creamery man to find out the cause of his failure. This Illustrates cue of the evil results of putting any kind of preservatives In the milk or cream to be used for butter making. It should be remembered that the delicate flav ors are caused by minute plants that develop in the milk. This developing Is only another name for ripening , The preservatives prevent the very thing that Is most necessary In mak ing good butter. Oregon butter Is being sent to Ma nila , where It Is competing sharply with butter sent from Denmark. I is packed in glasses hermetically seal cd , and the glasses arc tliPinsplvcs packed In salt. If the butter can bo gent In proper condition there is no reason why It should not have an ad vantage over the Danish butter. The trouble will be , however , that It wll not bo of as good quality as the Dan Jsh butter. There seems to be a gooi deal of difference in the grade of but ter exported from the United States and from Denmark , due to the Inllu ence of the domestic butter market In each country. It Is presumed that th best Danish butter goes abroad. In fact It has been said that a largo pro portion of the Danes ship out thol lirst-class butter and eat oleomargarhv in Its place. At least the supply o first-class butter Is so large there Urn there Is enough to satisfy the honv demand without cutting down th amount that should be shipped to Eng land. In the United States the horn market demands a large amount o lirst-class butter and the price tha such butter will always command her is as great and sometimes greater than It will bring abroad. The result is that the best butter is kept at home except when there is a sudden drop here in the price of good butter. As this Is seldom the case , the first-class buttir that is sent abroad Is varying constantly in amount , and is BO uncer tain in quality that It cannot be count ed on. The poorer grades can bo ex ported with a profit , but such grades arc unable to drive Danish butter from tbe place U has obtained. As to ship ments to Manila , the greater distance that Danish butter has to be brought may operate in fnvor of the American article. I'miltrjr Hxprrlciirc. From the Farmers' Review : Recently wo saw a way to dust chicks for llco that wan a new wrlnklo to us. As It seems to bo reasonable , wo pass It on : Take a common ten-pound paper bag , put In It from three to six chicks , ac cording to size , sprinkle over them ono tablcspoonful of good Insect powder , close the top of the bag , Invert It several limes , which will cause the chicks to Mutter about , thus allowing them to become well dusted with the powder. I have thoroughly dusted 100 in half an hour In this way. Why would It not be better to use a twenty- fivc-pound paper flour sack for this business ? One could dust a dozen at once In this way ; it also scorns to mo that ono could use the paper sacks to cure the gapes , or as a medium to help In curing them. Place the chicks In the sacks , sprinkle In some lime , fine tobaco dust or sulphur , and after clos ing the sack shake them around con siderably. This would also help In getting rid of lice. Tobacco smoke could bo blown in it one has had bol ter success with the smoke than with iiinilinils. Wo seldom have a case of gapes , one only this season , and it not serious. We have had excellent success with turkeys this year ; no sick ones until a few weeks ago , when several of the flock became dumpy ; they would aver age three and one-half pounds at that time. An old poultry raiser told us to use good unlcached wood ashes in their drinking water. Wo did It , using about a pint of ashes to a gallon of milk or water. They began to pick up at once ; but two of the sickest not good grammar , but it expresses it died , and now they arc entirely cured and hearty aa pigs. Whether It was the ashes or not , wo will use them hereafter whenever the turkeys get In the dumps. Of course their quarters were entirely renovated and lots of Imc scattered about before wo heard of the ashes. Turkeys simply cannot survive filth either in feed , water or roosting quarters. KAIMA CU3AUWATEUS. Milk for Poultry. Milk Is an excellent poultry food , fed n any way. It Is the cheapest animal food that you can buy If you can got t for one cent a gallon , says Farm Poultry. Recent experiments have > roved It to bo ono of the best hot weather animal foods for chicks or aylng fowls. It Is , however , consid ered necessary to supply some addi tional meat food to get the best re sults in eggs. The milk could bo fed : laily , and the meat twice a week , and seed results follow. Those beef plucks are an exceptionally good and cheap meat food. At the price you quote they are much cheaper than bone. Wo should feed milk and beef pluck , and would consider that we were getting our animal food very cheap. You can feed the plucks to best ad vantage by varying the manner of pro- Ijaring. Probably they \\i\l \ bo best when cooked. The best way to prepare plucks to have them keep sweet will be to run them through a meat cutter or sausage machine , and then boll the minced meat. Skim off all the fat , and strain the soup after cooking meat thoroughly. Use the liquor for mix- lug mash. The cooked meat , after be ing well drained , should be well dried in a moderate oven. If properly pre pared It will keep Eomo time. It should be kept in a cool dry place , and out of the way of insects. Wo would not prepare a very largo quantity , as it is liable to "heat. " Wo have had no trouble keeping meat so prepared for a month in hot weather. It must bo thoroughly dried or It will spoil. A Good Flocknmstcr. It Is not difllcult for a farmer to train himself to be a good shepherd , though there arc Important details that must be observed in breeding and feed ing sheep , says Kpitomlst. A flock of sheep will not take care of itself , at least not profitably. There Is an axiom that the "eye of the master fattens the sheep. " The meaning of that is that the Hockmastcr has every aninal constantly under his eye ; ho knows at once that something Is wrong , if any thing is wrong , and immediately pro ceeds to correct it. If a single animal is off its feed or shows symptoms of disease , the shepherd detects It. To the inexperienced it would seem Im possible for a man to bccomo ac quainted with each individual member of the flock , but each animal has Its characteristics and they are sufficiently marked to give It a distinct character in the eye of the Hockmaster. The very first thing that must be assured In the management of a Hock Is quiet ness of surroundings. The sheep la a timid animal and Is a bundle of nerves. An hour of excitement will do more harm to the Hock than can well bo imagined. The work of sheep-killing dogs is not nearly so damaging In the slaughter that they do , as it is In the excitement that they cause in the Hock. In feeding sheep a variety should be provided , but whatever is fed must be clean and palatable. Winter Habit of Milking. Some times It Is difficult to get mature cows to form the winter milking habit , bill heifers can be bred the first time at the right period to bring them Into profit In autumn. Thus with them the win ter dairying habit will be started right and then It will bo easy to keep It so , says Galen Wilson , in Practical Farm er. Many growcro of hothouse lambs , which must drop lambs in late autumn or early winter , are adopting thl3 method sucessfully. It is more diffi cult to change the breeding habit In ewes when once formed , than in cows. All nature IB given over to poetry , even the hen having her lays. The editor of the North American Review gives , in hta XovPmbcr nnm- jcr , renewed evidence of Iftn purpose to nake that periodical the velHr-le For conveying to tlie public the best pi > - ctry which poets of the Knglloh speech are producing today. The appearauco of Mr. Swinburne's "Channel Pas&ago ' In the July number created a sensa tion , and the publication now of Mr. W. 13. Henley's latest songs and mad rigals , under the tltk > of "Hawthorn and Lavender , " is on event of no less Importance. This feature of the No vember number comprises no fewer than twenty-live exquisite poems. STRIKE ! Hundred of Thousands Arc Involved.
