A Brick Bmklnc Macklne.
A new brick baking: machine is to
be noted among tho recent mechan
ical novelties. It is a simple con
trivance consisting of a table cov
ered with iron brick molds, to which
an electric current is applied, tho
table being eight by fourteen feat
and holding 1.000 molds, joined to
gether like pigeonholes. Each mold
is tho size of a brick which has been
pressed but not baked, and each has
a cover so fitted as to follow tho
brick as it shrinks. The bricks arc
taken from the presses and placed in
tho molds, tho cover adjusted and
tho current turned on. The irou
sides of the mold form the "resist
ance." and tho bricks are virtually in
closed by walls of fire. The bricks
having shrunk to the proper size the
sinking covers of the molds automat
ically turn off the current, the bak
ing is dona and tho bricks are
dumped.

The Blue and the Gray.
Both men and women are apt to feel a little
blue, when the gray hairs begin to show. It's
a very natural feeling. In the normal condition
of things gray hairs belong to advanced age.
They have no business whitening the head of
man or 'woman, who has not begun to go
down the slope of life. As a matter of fact,
the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of
life's seasons ; sometimes it is "whitened by
sickness, but more often from lack of care.
When the hair fades or turns gray there's no
need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color
of the hair is restored and retained by the use of

When John Howard Payne, the au

in Tunis, in 1852. the government
owed him $205.92 salary as consul at

ever since. Payno's heirs are now
trying to get congress to make an
appropriation to discharge the obli
gation. If compound interest should
be reckoned on the sum for the forty-one
years that have elapsed the
heirs of tho poet would receive a

amount of the original claim, $205.92,
which is not enough to light over.

N this important
subject H. Hay
ward of the Penn
sylvania Dairy
school says: The
annual production
of butter in the
United States is
about i.375,000,000
pounds. The larger
part of this is put
on the market and
cold Upon its merits, bringing from 10
to 75 cents per pound. The reason why
butter varies so markedly in its market
value is almost entirely owing to the
difference in its favor. Flavor in butter
is that quality which affects the taste,
and it Is the presence or absence of
flavor that commends or condemns the
butter to the consumer. Generally
speaking, the principal sources of but
ter flavor are two, namely, the condi
tions under which the milk is secreted
and drawn from the cow, and the con
ditions to which the milk is subjected
after it is drawn and before it is man
ufactured into butter. It is generally
conceded (although some experiments
have proved otherwise) that as a cow
advances in her period of lactation the
flavor of the butter she produces dete
riorates. Why this is so the writer is
not advised, but it is a fact, however,
that as a cow approaches parturition
the milk becomes more or less abnor
mal in that the milk serum becomes
more viscous, the fat globules smaller,
and the milk creams less exhaustively
and churns with more difficulty. The
flavor of the butter is not necessarily
bad, but there is a decided lack of that
fine, quick, aromatic odor which the
best markets demand and are willing
to pay for. The difference In flavor
between fresh cows and strippers is so
marked that some dairymen will not
pay as much per 100 pounds for milk
from a herd where most of the cows
are well advanced in their period of
lactation, even though it be richer in
fat, as they will for milk from a herd
the most of which are fresh cows. An
other condition which affects the flavor
of butter before the milk is drawn is
the kind and condition of the food the
cow is fed upon. As important as this
fs, it is difficult, with our present
knowledge, to state definitely what
foods should or should not be fed.
Such food as silage, potatoes, turnips,
if sound, are safely fed with modera
tion, if care is taken not to feed them
immediately before milking. Consid
erable fault has been found during the
present year with the use of gluten and
linseed meals, and if fed it should be
with considerable care and watchful
ness. There is no question but that
of the many byproducts on our mar
kets there are some that will affect the
butter produced from them adversely.
The period of lactation and the food
of the cow do not play as important a
part in butter flavor, generally speak
ing, as the conditions under which the
milk is cared for after It is drawn from
the cow. These, too, may be divided
into two general heads. First, the con
ditions which surround tbe milk or
cream before it is manufactured into
butter, and, second, the kind of bac
teria favorable or unfavorable that
ripens the cream. While milk or cream
is cooling to the temperature of the
surrounding atmosphere it is giving off
its own odors, and does not take up
others, but when it has reached a con
stant temperature it begins to absorb
iny odors that may be present from
any source, and if these are unpleasant,
as they are quite apt to be, the i!avor
of the butter will be affected accord
ingly. Hence the importance of keep
ing milk and cream in a separate,
clean and well ventilated room and en
tirely away from anything like meats,
cooking or decaying vegetables, the
laundry, etc. One of the most intrr
esting phases of butter making is the
effect of different bacteria upon the
flavor. The study of bacteria in this
connection has engaged, and is stil!
engaging, the attention of leading in
vestigators in this and foreign coun
tries. Although a favorable kind of
bacteria is absolutely essential in the
ripening of cream for the production
of the finest flavored butter, so far ex
periments in this country have shown
that a starter made from selected skim
milk will probably give as uniformly
good results as the use of the expensive
commercial butter cultures that are
advertised on the market as improving
the flavor of butter.

what is known as "Cuckoo" by Euglish
breeders. The body color is grayish
white, each feather regularly crossed
with parallel bars of blue black, pro
ducing the effect of a bluish-tinged
plumage. The color is the same
throughout. The ground color of each
feather is a clear, light, bluish gray.
The shanks and tees are bright yellow
and eyes bright red in color. Silver
Duckwing Leghorns are not generally
bred in this country, though they are
frequently seen in showrooms. They
arc considered as profitable as any of
tho other Leghorn varieties, and in
point of beauty thej are very interest
ing and fascinating. They take the
name "Duckwing" from the similarity
of the steel-blue wing bar to that of
th Mallard or Wild Duck, the naie

nackle and saddle feathers of a Silver

or creamy tinse, with a narrow black

hackle feathers. Back, saddle, wing

which are light gray. The penciling or

White Leghorn, like the brown, is the
more generally bred of the Leghorn

of much speculation as to which varie

to properly adjust to the satisfaction
of tbe specialty breeders, but from a
conservative standpoint it is generally
considered that the whites have slight

Hoe Cholera.
The following mixture, recommended
oy Dr. Salmon of the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry, has been found beneficial
in many cases, but no "sure cure" ia
known:
1 part wood charcoal.
1 part sulphur.
2 parts sodium chloride (common
salt.)
2 parts sodium bicarbonate.
2 parts sodium hyposulphite.
1 part sodium sulphate.
1 part antimony sulphide.
These ingredients should be well pul
verized and then thoroughly mixed.
The dose is one tablespoonful for each
206 pounds weight of hog once a day.
Those weighing less should receive
smaller doses in the same ratio as the
reduction in weight. It is best fed by
mixing with bran, middlings or soni'J
other soft feed. After having been In
duced to eat it once hogs will usually
return to it with a relish. It must not
be understood that this is a specific for
swine plague, though there are many
cases of record where its use has ap
parently cured the disease. It has been
of greater value, perhaps, as a prevent
ive, and when so used the dsc may be
somewhat reduced in quantity. Dur
ing the time the disease is found upon
the place all sleeping quarters, breed
ing places, feed lots and other places
where the swine congregate should be
thoroughly disinfected every few days.
This is best donp bj sprinkling well
with air slacked lime or a five per cent,
solution of crude carbolic acid, or with
some other germicide. No stagnant wa
ter should be permitted in the pasture
or feeding lot, and the disinfectant of
lini? or carbolic acid should be used
liberally about the water hole or water
trough. All litter and bedding should
be frequently removed and burned. In
irrigated regions waste water should
not be permitted to pass from the pas
tures of infected swine to carry the dis
ease to other herds, and after the dis
ease subsides the pastures should be
thoroughly dried to kill stray germ
that may be lurking among the vege
tation. The swine plague bacterium is
a comparatively delicate organism and
may be destroyed by a prober observ
ance of the above-mentioned regula
tions. There are circumstances under
which it would be impossible to ob
serve the requirement to dry out the
pasture and pens. If in these cases
they could be thoroughly flooded the
germs could be killed, as they drown
easily. It must be remembered that
the disease dees not alwaj-s attack a
herd with the same severity. Somr
outbreaks are comparatively mild and
none but the weak hogs and little pigj
svecumb, and the percentage of mor
tality among these may at times be
small; whereas, in other outbreaks the
mortality reaches 90 per cent, or more,
aud old hogs arc taken off with the
little ones. The condition of the an
mais also has-much to do with the mor
tality. Swine plague may be expected
to carry off a greater percentage of the
unthrifty animals than of those well
and hearty. I have found also that in
herds where the constitutions of tha
swine were much weakened by close in
breeding the mortality is much greater
than where the herd is kept thrifty by
out-crossing. In the Mississippi basin
and seme other localities hog cholera
is associated with swine plague. Al
though this resembles swsne plague in
a great many respects, and the treat
ment for the two diseases is the- same
in all essential particulars, in the mat
ter of ridding a place of hog rhn!sri
there is much difference. The hog
cholera bacterium is much hardier
than that of swine plague, and it will
live and multiply in stagnant water
and moist soil and litter, thus making
it very difficult matter to completely
eradicate the disease from a place upon
which it has once appeared. But with
care a few months during the hot
weather of the summer will suffice to
clear a place of swine plague.

A NEW SCHEME FOR BOYS.

"Ob, those boys of mine!" sighed a
handsome matron on Cass avenue,say3
the Detroit Free Press. "I don't be
lieve that a detachment of police could
keep them within bounds. Their papa
uayB they are little terrors, and I guess
he should know." "Yes," suggested
an outspoken neighbor, "and he might
be able, by a little Introspection, to
discover the original source of their
mlschievousness. Frank used to keep
things pretty thoroughly stirred up
himself."
"But these boys of mine are right
from one thing into another a3 fast
as they can go. It sets me wild. Why,
we had company for dinner this even
ing, and when I went to look for the
beautiful layer cake I had baked with
my own hands so as to have it n.cs,
there wasn't a crumb of it to be found.
Nothing could be more annoying."
"That recalls an experience of Frank
and mine. We had been raiding the
larders in both of our houses till final
notice was issued that we must either
reform or take the consequences. One
evening there was to be some fine com
pany at Frank's and he managed to
get me an invitation. During the aft
ernoon we discovered the cake and it
was a daisy, all sugared over with
white and surmounted by a piece of
statuary work of the same material.
We simply couldn't resist, but we
sought to cast suspicion on the baker,
by carefully digging out the interior
through a small hole we made in the
bottom. It took slow, careful work,
but we had our reward as we went
along.
"On the table that shell looked like
a magnificent cake. We boys looked
as solemn as owls through grace and
all the courses, till it came to desert.
Then we fidgeted as his father took the
long, thin knife.complimented his wife
on her taste and then made a cut. The
steel went through and struck the plate
with a sharp sound, the hollow cake
collapsed, Frank still looked solemn,
and I took to my heels. The settle
ment was with a rawhide."
"Frank will have to raise the boys."
mused the wife. "I'l be responsible
for the girls only."

"I'm afraid I will never be a prac

that sympathy largely controls my ac
tions. There are times when I would
like to be soulless for a brief period,
just like a corporation, or could close
my eyes and act with the calm impar
tiality of justice when she's unmoved
by mercy.

peare that ingratitude is worse than
'lying, babbling, drunkenness, or any
taint of vice whose strong corruption
inhabits our frail flood.' I have the
renting of some property for a sister
living in another city. For months it
was occupied by tenants who could not
pay their rent. Moved by pity I per
mitted them to remain, though re
minded at Intervals by my sister that
she had the house as a source of rev
enue and should be realizing. She be
came so insistent that I quite insisted
upon the occupants paying me some
money. But they pleaded poverty and
I don't know but my feelings induced
me to give them a little help when I
called on business in my capacity as
agent At length I was so prodded by
my principal that I really inmitated to
the tenants that they must settle or
find another abiding place.
"At this critical Juncture, when I was
losing sleep over the situation, the wife
of the tenant fell downstairs and was
injured. It was not in my heart to
worry them under such circum
stances, so they concluded to worry
me. They attributed the accident to
a defective stairway and sued for dam
ages. We were not only put to the
annoyance and expense af a lawsuit,
but they secured a verdict for a consid
erable sum. And it's all because I am
not strictly business. If I were they
would have been evicted and wc would
at least have been spared the expense
put upon us by a flagrant case of in
gratitude. I am now debating whether
to retire from the business world or
turn cold-blooded."

Nervousness and Insomnia.
A PROMINENT FARMER OP KAN
SAS FINDS A CURE.
From Ibo Capital, St. John, Kansas.
Hearing that J. H. Detwilar, a prosperous
farmer who resides about three miles east
of St. John, Kansas, had been using Dr.
Williams' Pink Tills with marvalons bene
ficial results, a reporter of tho Kansas City
Star called upon him for an interview re
garding the matter. AVe found Mr. Detr
wiler a tall, and apparently well preserved
man of seventv Tears. Upou our interro
gating him concerning his use of Fink Pills j
be gave us the following, and with his en- :
tire consent to its publication.
"I had been troubled for several years
with extreme nervousness. At first it did
not prevent mo from attending to my farm
duties. About three years ago, however, I
began to grow rapidly worse, then my
nights became sleepless, and I could not
sleep two hours in an entire night. I be
came terribly affected too with indigestion.
I became alarmed at my conditiou, and con
sulted a physician. One doctor told me
the trouble was insomnia, and took his
medicine for that, but without relief. An
other told me it was nervous prostration,
but his medicine had no more affect tkaa
the same amount of water. Finally, see
ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertised,
and noticing particularly the testimony of
a person who bad been cured by them of a
very similar disease to mine, 1 determined
to try them. I called upon our local drug-
fist. "Mr. J. Stivers and procured a supply,
began taking them, and in a very short
time my nervousness was less severe. After
I bad given them a thorough trial, I found
myself entirely cured. I can now lie down
at night and go to sleep without the slight
est trouble. Furthermore the cure has
been permanent, and I can recommend
Pink Fills to all who are afflicted as 1 was,
for their equal cannot be found.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price, 50 ceata
a box, or six boxes for fc..r0 (they are never
sold in bulk or by the 100), by addressing

o Whales la the Calf Stroasa.
It is a remarkab'o zoological, pis
catorial or bydrographical fact that
whales are nover (if allowed to fol
low the dictates of their own wills)
found within the limits of that
great ocean river the gulf stream,
Tho shrewd Yankee whalers were the
first to gain an accurate knowledge
of the extent and limits of the great
artery which pulsates betweon this
country and Europe; this by study
in? tho habits and haunts of the
whalos. It wus noted that they
were plentiful northwest and south
cast of certain well defined lines,
and that tho "neutral waters" were
several degrnos warmer than thosa
which, paradoxical as it may sound,
formed their "banks" and bounda
ries. Finally it was decided, and
rightly, too, that tho nonwhale pro
ducing area was the gulf stream.
The late duke of Saxe Coburg and
Gotha and Prince Bismarck were not
tho best of friends, and the chancellor
lost no opportunity of saying mean
things to his royal highness. On one
occasion the duke complained that the
iron cross was being bestowed npon
unworthy persons and Bismarck ad
mitted tha charge to some extent, bufi
added with a sardonic smile: "Al
though Moltke, Roor and Blumenthal
have it. your highness and I have it,
too, and surely it Is not for ua to
grumble."
