These war times have tried men'a souls in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft of sunshine and good cheer out of the cloud of privation and en durance has been the work that The American Tobacco Co. has done among the U. S. Soldiers and Sailors ever since the war began for when they discov ered that the camps and hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they decided to provide them, free of cost, with enough for every man, and have al ready given outright to our Soldiers snd Sailors over one hundred thousand pounds of "Battle Ax Plug" and "Duke's Mixture" Smoking Tobacco. and have bought and distributed fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a total ! cost of between fifty and sixty thou sand dollars. This work has been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquar ters In each camp, so that every camp and every hospital of the United States Army has been supplied with enough tobacco for every man and the sailors on thirty UnitedStates Ships in Cuban waters have shared with the soldiers this most welcome of all "rations." Perhaps it will be only fsir to re member when we hear the remark again that "corporations have no souls." that there is one American cor poration whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting in "prac tical kindness."

Sweet Cardllnc off Milk. Sometimes milk, instead of souring, curdles in a relatively sweet condi tion, writes Prof. H. L. Russell In Hoard's Dairyman. To the casual ob server, 6uch a curdled or loppered con dition might easily be mistaken for Bour milk, but the difference Is ap parent when the milk is once tasted, for, as a rule, it lacks the acidity that marks ordinary sour milk. Then, again, the curdling occurs much earlier than It does when the milk sours. If the dairyman carefully notes the ap pearance of such loppered milk he will recognize other differences than those mentioned, as he compares it with the ordinary lactic acid, fermentations. The curd produced by the sour milk fermentation is usually firm and hard, the casein often shrinking so as to expel some clear whey, while the curd, in the other case is soft and frequent ly quite slimy. As a rule, milks that curdle while sweet, generally undergo subsequent digestion or dissolution of the casein. In such cases the curd softens and becomes jelly-like, and finally dissolves, leaving a turbid whey. This "wheyed off"' condition does not usually appear until the milk is quite cold. The cause of these ab normal changes is in the fact that in some way or other, various species of bacteria gain the upper hand of the normal lactic acid flora, and thus sup plant the sour milk fermentation. The changes that occur in the milk the curdling in a relatively sweet condition, and the subsequent diges tion of the curd are to be explained as follows: These bacteria have tho power of secreting various unorganized ferments known as enzymes. These substances are also formed abundant ly by the animal body, and are con cerned especially in the digestion of foods. For instance, pepsin and rennet are secreted in tho stomach of man and animals, and act on foods in acid solu tions. Trypsin is formed in the "sweet breads" (pancreas) and dissolves pro teid substances in neutral or alkaline reactions. These bacteria likewise pos sess tbe property of forming rennet, which acts in a manner similar to ren net derived from animal sources. This causes the premature curdling of the milk. The same organisms also form digestive ferments that dissolve the casein, so the gradual disintegration of the acid in "wheyed off" milk is at tributable to the action of these chem ical ferments, which in themselves are devoid of life, but which are formed as a result of protoplasmic activity. Here again is seen the striking rela tionship that exists between the high est and lowest forms of life in the ac tivity of tbe life-stuff, protoplasm. The class of germs that arc capable of producing these changes belong to a group that is difficult to get rid of, if once they become established. The so called hay bacilli and potato bacilli that are found on the surfaces of dried grasses and in the soil arc representa tives of this class. They possess the ability to form spores, and it is on this account that they are difficult to kill. In some cases, organisms of this class have been known to resist a continuous application of steam for six consecu tive hours. What wonder then, that they are so tenacious of life. The na tive habitat of these forms is in dust and dirt; therefore, if milk becomes fouled with foreign matter from such sources, fermentations of this class are likely to occur. Cows having soiled udders, caused by wading in mudholes, are a prolific source of trouble. It is thought by many that the or ganisms on the hay that Is eaten as food may pass through the body of tho animal and be excreted in the milk, but such Is not the case. The bacteria that enter the body in the food or drink do not escape from the intestine. If they are not destroyed by the gastric Juices, they are excreted in the manure and can only gain access to the milk by contaminating the same, sub sequent to milking. Science, having shown the way in which these bac teria get into milk, also teaches us rational measures to repress their ac tivity. The great resistance of this class, as a rule, necessitates scrupulous care in cleansing the utensiis and in preventing the introduction of dust particles and dirt. Then again, sometimes another method can be used advantageously. These bacteria, as a rule, are sensi tive to the action of acids. They are always present in milk to some extent, but normally, they are held in check by the superabundance of sour milk germs that develop lactic acid. If, therefore, a little "starter," taken from a clean sour milk, is added to the milk as soon as it is drawn, this will serve to give the lactic organisms the ascen dency, and suppress the premature curdling. This method is not to be commended in place of the strenuous attempts at eradication by thorough cleanliness; but at times, where it seems Impossible to get rid of it by the usual measures, this method of set ting one kind of bacteria to fight an other will often be successful. A Wool Outlet in Japan.' Reports received from Japan to the effect that woolen goods are rapidly supplanting those of cotton, manufac ture in that country is another con vincing proof of the superiority of the former fabric over the latter, says an exchange. Woolen underwear is be coming more and more popular in Ja pan, having displaced all other fab rics used for that purpose. The year ly imports cf mousseline delaine amount to 37,000,000 yards. Woolen rugs and blankets are often worn in Indian style, and many shops are de voted entirely to their sale. Sheep do not thrive in Japan, and the four wool en factories furnish less than twelve per cent of the goods necessary for the consumptive capacity of the country. Consequently, the mills are compelled to Import the most of their raw ma terials. One of these factories, by the way, is preparing cloth for the army and navy. It is not at all surprising that Japan, in spite of 'her limited re sources as a wcol-growing country, should demand more woolen and less cotton fabrics. Proportionately more woolen goods are being used every year, and it is but natural that the Is land Empire should adapt herself to the fleeces of wool-bearing animals in preference to cotton, as all other civil ized nations are doing today. The de velopment of the woolen industry in Japan will result in opening new mar kets to the growing manufacturing in terests of the United States. Germany, Great 'Britain and other manufacturing nations of the Old World are practi cally supplying the demands of th Far Cast In th Importations of arla apparel, and th Industrial growth, of Japan, ah well as of India, China aa ether countries, will nave a teadsney to stimulate the export trade of th United States rather than depress it. Foaltry Kotea. Hens that are following th comrs of nature and laying few eggs can get enough lime from their food; bat when hens are subject to artificial coadttlona and are expected to lay three times aa many eggs as nature intended they should, they must be supplied with Eome lime to help make up the mate rials they lack for the shell of the egg. a e The rough statement is made that a hen will consume a bushel of grain per yean This is a very loose state ment, for grains differ greatly la their bushel weight and their feeding value. A bushel of oats will not certainly g as far as a bushel of wheat. Disgusted poultry -raisers are com mon. We Baw one the other day who had in the past been ah enthusiast He has about sixty hens and is eating them up as fast as possible. He says that the trouble has been that his business is such that he cannot look after his poultry properly. Sometimes he does not get home til! ten o'clock at night, and in such cases the hens go without their suppers. So he is going to give the whole thing up. Sensible man! If poultry cannot be kept in a .right manner they should not be kept at all. An exchange says. "Don't build a fancy poultry house." Why not, if it can be afforded? Beauty pays, even In the chicken yard. Not that the hens will lay any more eggs, but the eye of tbe owner will be better pleased, and so will all of the neighbors and visitors. Nothing discourages chicken keeping more than to see a dirty, tum bled dbwn hen house stuck where it is a blemish on the entire place. Drying- Wheat for Seed. After every damp harvest as the present has been in most localities, the grain goes into the barn with its straw not so thoroughly dried out as it should be, says American Cultivator. There is also considerable dampness in the grain Itself, and this will prob ably cause heating of the grain in the mow. With spring grain this does not matter much, for the grain will he pretty sure to dry out when freezing cold weather comes. But whenever winter grain is grown the seed for next harvest has to be selected from the present year's crop, and this often means the premature threshing of the winter grain and using it while still damp as seed. To this fact Is prob ably to be attributed the common be lief among farmers that old wheat and rye are better for seed than new. In the old grain the freezing of winter and the subsequent thawing have made tbe seed nearly wholly free of mois ture. Yet all these experiences are not absolutely necessary. If the grain is thoroughly dried in the fall that It is grown, it is not only as fit but more fit for seed than it is after being dried out by winter freezing, wherein its germinating powers are more apt to be injured than they are by being thor oughly dried out the previous fall. We have heretofore advised the greatest care for drying seed grain for fall sow ing. But It is far better, we believe, to thoroughly dry the seed even by ar tificial means. We have over and over again dried seed grain in fruit evapo rators such as are used for drying ap ples, and always with the best results in a large proportion grown of the seed that was sown. We believe that it is best to dry all grain used as seed by the heat of fire; it may be by braiding the seed corn and hanging it beside the chimney, so as to secure the heat of the kitchen fire, but however it is dried, the seed that has fire heat to dry it is sure to produce the most vigorous growth and tbe largest crop of grain. Indian Game. The value and utility of Indian Game fowls to the poultry farmer cannot be overestimated, says Farmer and Stock breeder. The breed crosses well with, almost every other kind of fowl and produces birds which mature early, and possess excellent table qualities, being large, fleshy and of rich flavor,. While the best cross is perhaps that with light and dark Dorkings, on ac count of the massive frame of these favorite birds, the most advantageous product to the farmer is undoubtedly tbe result of Indian Game and Minor cas. The flesh of this cross is most wholesome and digestible, possessing a flavor closely resembling that of the turkey. The meat is white and soft and very full on tbe breast. Both good size and rapid egg-production are obtained from this cross, but where size is the chief essential, Dorkings should be utilized. Orpingtons, Lang shans, Houdans, Brahmas and Wyan dottes breed well with Indian Game; the first-named cross producing good sized fowls; the others, however, have a tendency to run into feather. Birds of from 14 pcunds to 20 pounds tbe pair, sometimes larger, result from the Indiau Dorking cross, but good table poultry may be relied upon from any cross with the pugnacious descendant of the jungle Game. Proper Housing of Chickens. The loss of young chicks is very great on most farms, amounting to one-half or more of all that are hatched, and nine-; tenths of this loss is clearly prevent-; able. Tbe causes of loss are many, as,1 for example, gapes, drowning, or chill ing in wet dews and rain, the depre dations of rats, hawks, skunks and other prowlers, and then the giving of improper food or falling to furnish grit and to keep the coops clean. Near ly all these losses are preventable by furnishing a suitable place to keep the chicks for tbe first five or six weeks, and then, if they must be moved, have a safe house to put them in. I have found that young chickens do very much better on a floor raised consider ably above the ground, and 1 now make all my coops and the houses to put the chickens in at weaning time with a floor raised so high above the ground as to give a free circulation of air un der them, so that they will not be damp, and there is no place for rats or other enemies to find shelter. Country Gentleman. A few weeks ago a breeder at Well man, Iowa, shipped a pair of half-bred French Coach geldings to the East Buffalo market and sold them at auc tion to R. Howarth for export to Lon don, for 575. The geldings had abundant action, were nicely matched and had plenty of substance. Of late many fine pairs, got by French Coach stallions, have been disposed of in mat mantel, a pair ureu ju uanma j brought $400; a pair shipped from Illi nois brought 450, and several other pairs from $400 to $500. These horses ' ranged close to the 1200 pound mark taken for export. NAfcDwOME PICTURES. to tie These Free.

Guam Letter in Globe-Democrat. As soon as the surrender bad been com pleted permission was given for the officers of the troops on the transports to go ashore, which they did in small boat parties. The first object of in terest was the village of Suma, lying around a point of land opposite the place where the Charleston was an chored. There are half a dozen of these villages at points around the bay, this one, however, being typical of them all. When the Charleston be gan firing the day before the natives were badly frightened and took to their palm and cocoanut groves for security, but they began to get some idea of the situation of affairs before night and came back to their village. They re ceived another fright immediately af ter the darkness set In, with the usual tropical abruptness, when the Charles ton began flashing her searchlights about the bay and upon the lowering clouds overhead. Again they took to the woods in precipitate haste, and only returned when they realized how harmless the great shaft 'of light was. By the time the visitors arrived In the afternoon they had recovered from their fright and were pretty well post ed as to the situation. They were all dressed In their best and there was none of that absence of raiment which we had been led to believe was the prevailing characteristic of the natives of the Pacific Islands. The men wore linen suits and the women cotton and linen dresses, well up to the neck, and even the little children had on all enshrouding garments, similar lo the overall which the youth of the Mis souri backwoods wear, and are prob ably the antetype of the famous "Mother Hubbard" gown. The mai dens were timid and coy, and confined their observation of the strangere to sly peeps through the windows, but the men, the older women and the children of both sexes and all sizes that swarmed about the village wel comed us with great cordiality and hospitality.

A Toaag OBeoCa Kzperloaco Proved It to Bo Useless. The mule was undoubtedly a bad mule, but Lieut. Kellenberger of Bat tery G, First Ohio light artillery, said that his disposition had been ruined and his confidence In human nature destroyed by improper treatment, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. "He had been mistreated," said Lieut. Kellen berger. "I will show you bow this mule should be treated." Then the lieutenant, with tbe assistance of an orderly, saddled the mistreated mule in front of his own tent. The mule offered neither resistance nor protest. The lieutenant patted him on the neck. "He needs kind but firm treatment," said he. Then Lieut Kellenberger mounted. The mistreated mule danced three bars of a two-step, executed an individual hop,mskip and jump with each leg and projected Lieut. Kellen berger into the air directly beneath a thorn tree. "Catch that man-eating monster and beat him to death," said Lieut. Kellenberger, as the hospital corps assisted him to his tent. Then several men came out of a company itreet and erected a tablet, reading thus: "Where Kelley Fell, May 28, 1898." Dropsy treated free by Dr. HI H. Green's Sons, of Atlanta, Ga.
