Much has been said in the papers
about "petroleum butter," and the
curiosity if not the anxiety of the
dairy farmers has been excited.
Dairy Commissioner Foust of Phila
delphia secured a sample of "petrole
um butter" and had it analyzed. He
found it was composed of SO per cent,
vaseline, two per cent, salt and 10
per cent, cornstarch. The rest was
water. The sample looked much like
vaseline and is said to taste like it.
Mr. Foust decided that it could not
be sold as butter.
Drained soils are generally well
ventilated soils, for as the water per
colates through and lowers the water
table, it draws an equal amount of air
into the soil. Then when another rain
falls and a sheet of water is formed
on the surface of the field, it presses
down upon the soil air, and has a ten
dency to force it out through the
drains, and in settling draws another
volume of air into the soil, so that
every shower helps to change the air
in a drained field. The drains them
selves contitute ventilating fines by
means of which air circulates through
the soil more or less because of
changes in temperature and baro
metric. The simplest form of silo is the
stave silo. It should be made from
two-inch narrow plank, properly bev
eled and held together by strong
iron bands. The staves, after bevel
ing so that when fitted together they
will form a circle of the desired size,
are placed on end on a solid founda
tion and properly fitted. These are
strengthened and held in place by
strong iron hoops, which are so made
that they may be tightened or loos
ened at will. Doors should be built
at intervals from the top to the bot
tom so that the silage may easily be
got out. It is not necessary to put
a roof on this silo, but it is much to
be preferred. This style of the silo
should be kept well painted, both in
side and out. If properly built and
taken care of a stave silo is durable,
rigid and air-tight
Gapes in young chickens is caused.
according to Prof. H. A. Surface,
state zoologist of Indiana, by eating
of earthworms. There are parasites
in the earth-worms which find their
way into the windpipe of the chicken
and lodge there, where they take the
form of little red worms. The best
preventive is to keep the chickens
from the surface of the ground, or
use salt or strong water on the soil,
so as to kill the earth-worms, or
strew strong lime or something of
the kind on the ground, so that the
chicks will not get hold of the worms
to eat them. After the chicks have
been attacked with gapes, however,
you can dislodge the worms by mak
ing a very small loop of twisted
horse hair, draw out the tongue of
the chick slightly, insert the horse
hair loop in the windpipe opening,
which will be seen between the forks
at the base of the tongue, and, twist
ing the hair around, withdraw it. The
worms are likely to be found within
the loop, or some of them will have
been thus removed, and the operation
can be repeated. Another remedy is
to dip the tip of a soft feather into
kerosene and insert it in the wind
pipe opening to dislodge and kill the
worms. Such treatment, although se
vere, is better than letting the worms
remain undisturbed, to severely an
noy the fowls and even kill them.
Mixing turpentine or other sub
stances in the food of the young
poultry has not proven satisfactory
as a remedy for gapes.

A garden without fruit trees and

there should be added raspberries,
blackberries, gooseberries, currants

small fruits are that they occupy
small space, are easy to grow, they
begin bearing early and the fruit is
the most delightful and the most
wholesome of all foods. They are
an ornament to any farm or home

Prof. O. F. Hunziker, head of the
dairy department of the Indiana ex
periment station at Purdue, and Prof.
G. W. Spitzer, dairy chemist of the
same institution, have just completed
experiments to determine the cause
of the low per cent of butter-fat in a
large portion of the evaporated milk
on the market as reported by chem
ists and pure-food departments
throughout the country. Although
milk containing the required percent
of butter fat, when made into evapo
rated milk, and an analysis by the
usual methods made shows a short
age of from 0.5 to two per cent of
at, by the experiments explained In
this bulletin it has been found that
there is no less fat present, but that
the ordinary Eabcock test and the
official methods of fat estimation do
not liberate all the fat present The
fat column in the test bottle is gen
erally cloudy and contains charred
and curdly deposits, making accurate
readings difficult Uniformly correct
results are obtained by the use of a
one-fourth dilution of evaporated milk
and of dilute acid after the first
whirling of the tester in the place of
water. Correct results are also ob
tained by ether extraction.
David Buffum has this to say in the
Atlantic Monthly regarding the "mis
sion of the land," and he is about
right: The mission of the land is to
produce and keep on producing food,
live stock, lumber and other commod
ities for the service of man. He who
owns land and is indifferent to this,
is guilty of a moral wrong; and he
who takes good land out of commis
sion and suffers it to lie unproductive
and useless is guilty of a greater one.
This is the only criterion by which
we can properly judge of the right
of an individual to own land in large
tracts. The good results attendant
upon small individual holdings are
natural. The purposes of nature in
the upward evolution of man are usu
ally better carried out in this way,
and not because, as is so frequently
argued, every man has an inherent
right to its ownership. The lazy, the
incapable and the densely ignorant
assuredly have no such right, and
land is too precious and its mission
too high to be thus wasted. If the
owner of a great country estate can
farm his land as well as or better
than if it were in small holdings; if,
following the precept of Swift he
make two ears of corn or two blades
of grass grow where one grew be
fore; if he supply his section with a
better breed of horses, cattle or
sheep, well and good; no one with
any knowledge of economics could
say he was doing any injury to the
world or mankind. It is not the
amount of land that he owns, but
what he does with it for which he is
morally responsible.

THE QRECIAH ZRi RITUAL
Five of these girls are Americans.
The Paris garden where they exer
cise belongs to one of our older Amer
ican fortunes, made by an honest
westerner years ago, while uplifting
the tastes of his fellow-citizens. The
granddaughter of the man who owned
opera houses has gone beyond the
Italian operas that pleased his genera
tion, but something of the beautiful
old gestures remain fixed in her Ideal.
The girls' names may not be given
it is promised but their search for
grace and cultured ease, apart from
beauty, reveals a tendency of the hour
among the rich and fashionable that
must deeply interest all women.
These fair Americans In Paris seek
something more attractive than beau
ty; at least, something without which
mere beauty fails to hold. With It the
average girl may triumph. And the
average girl may acquire It
Grace! It is becoming more and
more recognized as essential, not only
to know how to walk and sit, but to
possess that personal grace of attitude
and movement which the nineteenth
century neglected. In renaissance
paintings and in old Greek and Indian
reliefs we recognize that we are ex
tremely ugly in our movements.
Why should not the poses of artists'
models be natural to us? It is part
of a curious nineteenth century shame
to be found "affected" or "putting on
airs;" yet the same considerations
ought to forbid women changing their
gowns with the fashion or men culti
vating formal politeness. To the
countr jay the city man is "affected."
But the nineteenth century is past
and one courageous American girl has
shown how the world craves a return
to grace. Isadora Duncan's success is
not of the stage alone. Paris society
goes to her for private lessons.
"It is not to develop bust and biceps
by ten minutes' rational exercise each
morning," explained one girl. "It is
not breathing exercises. Physical
training makes the Instrument; we
are learning how to play on it"
The instrument is the perfected
body. To acquire grace is to give it a
chance to express itself; and I had a
pathetic object lesson of the matter in
that garden.
I noticed that one of the girls went
through her exercises with somber
and ferocious enthusiasm; a beautiful
girl, but never smiling, never speak
ing; and the priestess took a tender
interest in her. She does not appear
in the present photograph.
"Rich and beautiful, that girl is go
ing through a great unhappiness," I
was told later. "The man that she
cares for has called her a 'stick.' She
was a stick. Being rich and beauti
ful, it never occurred to her to take
pains. Dancing, she sprawls over her
partner. In ordinary movements she
is awkward and negligent And her
dreaded rival is, exactly, a skinny
heroine with a plain face, whose one
redeeming quality is grace. It is suffi
cient The poor relation of a third
class European ambassador, she has
diplomatic society of Paris at her
feet."
"Charm of manner," I said.
"She is not even intelligent," was
the answer. "It is mere physical
beauty of movement, charm of pose
and gesture."
"And she is beating that rich and
beautiful American girl to It?" I
mused. It explained the American
girl's somber ardor. She is desperate
ly trying to make up for lost time.
I understood the ritual of the old
Paris garden. There is nothing far
fetched about costumes or exercises.
The girls seek earnestly to enter into
the spirit of the ancient Greeks and
the renaissance of the time of Botti
celli. Their priestess is an American girl
of wide culture and strong nature.
The One Imperative Point
Hospital Employe Would Not Neglect
Duty Even if the Patient
Were "Dying."
The doorkeeper at one of the Mil
waukee hospitals Is a serious minded
man and devotes himself to his job
with a singleness of purpose which
sometimes is productive of ludicrous
results. One of the duties of this hon
est old fellow is taking the names of
patients when they enter the hospital
The other day a laborer was brought
in by the emergency ambulance in a
pretty badly battered condition. The
laborer was scared and thought he
was going to die.
"Vat iss the name, Mease?" asked
the doorkeeper as the injured man
was carried into the hospital on a
stretcher.
The laborer only groaned. "Oh, I'm
dying, I'm dying," he cried.
"Vat iss the name, Mease?" once
more inquired the doorkeeper, to whom
"dying" patients are no novelty.
"My God, mas," groaned the labor

writing successful French poetry un
der a man's name. Another of the
coterie traveled to the orient and sat
under the sage who continues the rev
elation of the Bab. The ritual is ec
lectic, from the Roman pageant of the
spring to the Provencal courts of the
muses by way of Keats' "Ode to a
Grecian Urn."
No pains are too great to throw
them back into the old graceful spirit
It is no laughing adventure. Through
summer afternoons their songs are
accompanied by slow, rhythmic dances.
The responses to the priestess are
chanted amid studied figures. Drap
eries weave in and out, arms rise and
fall, lithe bodies pose and change and
pose, in attitudes learned carefully be
forehand. They copy attitudes from Grecian
urns with pain and hesitation. Why
not? So the piano player finds her
way, awkward and halting; only little
by little does practice make those
hard notes fall like showers of pearls,
So the graces of these earnest girls,
at first stiff copies, became natural
and free, a poetry of attitude and ges
ture all their own.
When they quit their classical drap
eries for tailor suits they take their
graces with them into daily life.
These solemn rituals become habit,
give them in our careless daily life
a touch of gravity and dignity that
surprises and delights young men. So
they would have their girls.
"The classical draperies are of im
portance to impose graceful habits on
our bodies," said one girl. "And these
ideals are in the air. Fashion itself is
coming round to them."
"Really?" I asked. "Has fashion the
slightest tendency to corset reform?"
I was astonished by her answer.
Remember, these girls are girls of
fashion; and fashion has always
laughed at corset reform. Corset re
form is in the air of Europe, yes; but
when I wrote a few months ago that
the Roumanian minister of public in
struction had prohibited the corset in
the highest normal and professional
schools as "a permanent obstacle to
the development of the body and the
normal functions of the organs," I
felt, nevertheless, that I was mislead
ing the reader.
What does Roumania count? What
does it count that the Bulgarian tsar
banishes the corset from "all schools
where girls remain up to the age
of 17?"
What does it count that all students
of Russian lyceums .and high schools
of music, ballet and beaux arts are or
dered to deposit in the cloakroom the
cuirass which they wear under the
name of "corset," and that the Czar
Nicholas, in signing the regulation,
added in his own hand that "the de
velopment of feminine charms will be
the gainer?" It counts nothing that
in Scandinavian countries the mass of
girls have voluntarily abandoned the
corset "through devotion to outdoor
sports."
These are unfashionable lands,
where the costume of women matters
nothing. Even in Paris the otherwise
powerful League of Mothers of Fami
lies got itself laughed at by taking
up corset reform six months ago.
"The great dressmakers and the
corsetmakers themselves can alone
make the reform general," they admit
"And the grace movement is forcing
them."
The grace movement! Do you smile
at it? Do you see anything futile in
earnest girls copying the poses and
gestures from Grecian urns?
"We pay great prices for Tanagra
figurines and I ask why?" one of the
girls said. "Why do we so admire
them, if not for their grace alone?
Their beauty of face and figure is nil.
Their beauty of attitude and gesture
is everything. It is within the reach
of us all. Why not try for it?"

"Dot may be, but dot ain'dt the

calmly. "Vat I vant to know iss, vat
is your name, blease."
How Cement Is Made.
The basis of nearly all good cements
used in tire repairing is either India
rubber of gutta percha dissolved in
any one of the common solvents,
which include benzine, carbon-bisulphide,
choloroform and ether. Various
other ingredients are necessary for
a good cement, as, for instance, if
quick drying is desired, some form
of dryer is added, and to attain ten
acity still other gums, such as rosin,
mustic, gumlac, are used.
In any cement for rubber, the ce
ment must come in contact with the
rubber, which result is obtained by
brushing the surface with naphtha.
This softens the rubber, and when
partially evaporated leaves it in as
nearly favorable condition for ad
hesion as it is possible to get

"Puzzle" Announcement Party.
Quite recently a hostess used puz
zle pictures to announce the engage
ment of the guest of honor. The club
to ,which the young couple belonged
were invited--and -as no one suspected
trip tipwr that wm tt he revealed, the
affair was entirely successful.
Tables and puzzles were arranged
so that four persons worked together,
the hostess explained that when the
six tables had completed their puz
zles a very 'interesting story would be
woven from the pictures; that a prize
would be awarded to the one who first
guessed the story. The first picture
out together showed a boy and girl
with a map upon which there were
two states, Maine and Ohio; the sec
ond puzzle revealed a man and a girl
dancing with the words "Tale" and
"Vassar."
Then the third picture was a poser,
for it was simply a cut of a White
Star liner, the fourth puzzle was a
Pullman train marked "California
Limited;" The fifth was a scene in a
park, with a couple sitting under the
trees, and the sixth was a bride and
groom walking up the aisle over
which were the initials of the young
couple.
The prize was a large box of con
fetti with which the pair were duly
showered. Congratulations followed
and every one was delighted. The
hostess had painted some of the pic
tures, pasted them on thin sheets of
wood and a boy friend cut them out
on his jig saw. Post cards, advertise
ments and magazines furnished the
others.
A delicious salad of canned aspara
gus, sprinkled with grated cheese and
mayonnaise with a garnish of stuffed
oiives cut in halves. Cheese straws
were passed with it, and lemonade, in
which a bottle of ginger ale was
added in the proportion of a bottle to
every quart of lemonade.
Unique Thimble Party.
We belonged to a thimble club of
ten members, and once a month one
of us gave an afternoon to which each
member asked a guest, making a party
of 20. At the affair I wish to describe
for your department readers the
hostess had five tables with the fol
lowing stunts to be accomplished:
First, to see who could sew on the
most buttons in the time alotted; sec
ond, to see 'who could sew on the
most lace; third, the best buttonhole
in five minutes; fourth, the best patch
work square; fifth, the neatest hem
in the square of cheese cloth. We
played partners, the two best progress
ing. We were all given wee baskets
with silk bag tops attached and the
markers were buttons, hooks and
Dainty Candle Shades
A dainty candle shade gives a pret
ty finish to table, mantel or dresser,
and the new tinted flower shades
mounted over colored silk are most
attractive. The woman who is clever
with her brushes may make no end
of pretty things, but these shades may
be imitated even by those who know
nothing about painting, providing they
put the color on in a neat, careful
manner.
The first step is to trace the design
on A piece of water-color paper, then
color it, either shading, if one knows
how, or using flat washes with pen
and ink outline. In the latter case
use waterproof ink, going over every
line when the paint is dry. This wash
and outline work is quite as effective
as the more difficult light and shade.
In either case use a light brown for
the stems, two shades of green for the
leaves, the smaller leaves the lighter,
and the centers of the flowers yellow,
with the inner petals of the roses
deep rose and the outer petals deli
cate pink. This is mounted over a
pink silk shade.

After the Announcement.
It would be ridiculous to say that a
girl should be more careful of her
manners at one time than at others,
but nevertheless it is perfectly true
that a girl's actions are more likely
to be scrutinized and criticised on cer
tain occasions than on others. Per
haps a girl is more apt to be criti
cised during the early part of her en
gagement than at other times. Every
small act of a girl Is under the sever
est inspection by the family and
friends of her .future husband, and
especially if she has not been known
to them before. It is an exceedingly
wise young woman who conducts her
self so that even the most critical
could find no fault.
It would seem unnecessary to say
that a girl should not accept any at
tentions from any young men, yet
there are many young women who
make the foolish and seemingly harm
less mistake. It is not the place of a
young girl to make any advances to
the family of her fiance, except un
der exceptional conditions. The the
ory is that a girl should wati to be
welcomed into the family to which
she will belong in the future, and it

Farewell Envelope Shower.
To a girl who was going away for a
prolonged absence, a friend planned
and carried out this acceptable show
er. Her guests all entered into the
spirit of the occasion and made it a
success. Each person was asked to
bring something in an envelope, as
space must be considered when one is
going to Europe. It was wonderful
the way the envelope scheme devel
oped; there was an envelope of denim
with strap handles for holding maga
zines, letter paper pad, pencil, etc.
Then there was a nest of long envel
opes tied together filled with all sorts
of interesting clippings, anecdotes, ar
ticles of interest along the lines that
the voyager was especially to study.
One envelope contained a wee
deck of cards for playing solitaire, an
other held courtplaster; one had
snap shots of home scenes and near
friends; several large envelopes held
hand illuminated mottos, and, best of
all, a rich bachelor uncle took this
way of giving his niece some green
backs. The envelope was labeled
"Extras." One practical girl brought
a set of envelopes marked "For
Emergency;" there were buttons on a
card, needles, safety pins, a card of
beauty pins, hairpins of all sizes and
an invisible hair net It is impossible
to enumerate all that this shower
brought forth besides the regular
steamer letters.

A New One About Napoleon.
A "new" story about Napoleon Is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
It relatesto Napoleon and Blucher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Blucher. going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. "What a
chance you missed!" exclaimed the
latter.
"You might have changed the whole
course of history."
"How?"
"Why, you might have thrown him
out of the window."
"Confound it!" replied Blucher. "So
I might! If only I had thought of it"
