' Tl^ United States Department et Agriculture is coming in for a good deal, of adverse comment for exclud­ ing from our ports a consignment of Australasian butter that contained a large amount of boron preservative. The critics are saying that the govern­ ment should recognize the fact that preservatives are being used in the butter manufactured in this country as well as in the butter coming in from foreign parts. A London paper takes up the matter and says that during the last ten years the people of Great Britain have consumed two hundred thousand tons of butter with boracic acid in it and that not one case of injury <|ftn be proved against it. Well, ho^ could such a case be proved? No mater how much injury may have been done to the consum­ ers it is not possible to say for a certainty that such a result did ensue. On the other hand, it is the part of the preservative dealers to prove that the substance they sell is not harm­ ful, and they have not done that. The United States Department of Ag­ riculture does not take action like the above without having some good rea­ son for its action. We are having too much preservative used in foods anyway, and any action of the govern­ ment looking to the decreasing of the amount used will have the support of most of the people. A • -- C' Testing Associations. > atter how smart a natidnll^t can learn something from almost any other nation. The Danes have given us a good object lesson in the estab­ lishing of testing associations, by which each farmer is enabled to know the performance of each cow, as to weight of milk produced daily and percentage of butter-fat in same. We have been a long time adopting the Danish method, as to organization. We have done a great deal of test­ ing of individual cows and now and then a herd has been tested, but we have not tried very hard to get at the herds of the farmers not interested in scientific matters. We are therefore doubly glad to learn that a testing association has been organized near Athens, Wis., and there the Danish method is to be given a chance to show what it will do under American methods. The as­ sociation when formed this spring had twenty-six members, and each fanner will have his herd tested once a month. The man that is to do the testing travels from herd to herd, spending a day in each place, both weighing and testing the milk from each cow. The association pays the salary and incidental expenses of the man doing the testing, but he has free board at the home of each mem­ ber while testing his herd. Finances of the Creamery. The way in which the finances of a oreamery are handled will determine to a considerable degree the success of the creamery. I believe that4t is a mistake for any creamery associa­ tion to arrange for the declaring of big dividends on the capital stock, es­ pecially if the shares are not equally divided among the men that supply milk to the creamery. Anyway it is a safer plan to have most all of the "profits go back to the milk producers in the shape of a better price on milk. I know a creamery where the capital stock really pays about 20 per cent, but I very much fear that when such a dividend is declared something about the creamery is being neglect­ ed. If any dividend LB paid at all, it should be a small one, and the sur­ plus should either go back to the farmers on milk or should go into im­ provements in the creamery -- JaweB Oarlinger, Berrien Co., llich.. in Far­ mers' Review. Big Cheeses. « NOW and then tig cheeses are made for exhibition at great fairs and expositions. Canada sent a large one to the Columbian ex­ position and at one of the world's fairs held in Englsnd three English factories combined and made a ton cheese. Now the New Zealanders regard it as Ubeir turn and have made a ten cheese which has been sent to the Crystal Palace, London, where it is to be on exhibition this summer* - :~$"\30ur Sutter. The United States produces annually about 1,500,000,000 pounds of butter, which is made on about four million farms. The peo­ ple that take part in the production of this butter number about 7,000,000. The estimated value is about $300,- 000,000, as it is approximately worth 20 cents per pound. About 96 per cent of this butter is used in the United States, and only 4 per cent goes to other countries. Of the but­ ter that is exported very little is of high grade, the inferior qualities oaly being exported at a profit English Butter Imports.'

Overcrowding Chicks. Overcrowding of chicks in brood­ ers results in weakening the chicks that remain alive after a number have been killed. Some have said that It was a good thing to kill off the weak ones in that way, but we doubt It. It is not a rare occurrence to have a weak child or a weak animal or bird develop into a strong being at maturity. When we overcrowd the chicks we give to them conditions that are Injurious to life and health. It may be that the et-heo cr jood t mmm j alia MB. BAYSS0N PUBLISHES RESULTS : OF VALUABLE EXPEEIEN0E. A Fmjnw Pronounced Dyspeptic Ho 5«w JUgoicra In Perfect Freedom (roB Miseries of ItadigesttoB. Thousands of sufferers know that the reason why they are irritable aud de- nr^sed and nervons aud sleepless is be­ cause their food does uofc digest, but how to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzliug question. Good digestion calls for strong diges­ tive organs, and strength comes from a snpplv of good rich blood. For this reasou Mr. Bayssou took Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for the core of indigestion. " They have been my best doctor," he mys. " I was suffering from dyspepsia. • The paius in my stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and ray complexion was sallow. As the result of using eight- boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends iu France, I have escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams* Pink Pills it netght have been a tragic one. When dis­ comfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot he much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Bains, France, but now resides at No. S439 Larkin street, San Francisco, Cal. He is one of a great number who n^»i testify to the remarkable efficacy of Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills in the treatment of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of nausea, pain or bnruiug in. the stomach, vertigo, ner­ vousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of the weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They are sold by druggists everywhere. Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once begun, and a little book, "What to Bat and How to Eat," may be obtained by any one who makes a request for it by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady, N.T.

The latter was visited one day by a clergyman who sought appointment to a fat living then vacant. He wanted a letter ot recommendation to Lord Thurlow, but the bishop said such a letter was like­ ly to do more harm than good. Nevertheless he wrote' it. When Thurlow read the missive he said: "Well, as that scoundrel,, the bishop; of London, has introduced you, you won't get the living." "So the bishop said, my lord," was the meek reply. "Did the bishop say so?" roared Thurlow. "Then I'll prove him a--- liar, for you shall have the living. And he was as good as his word. Noon and High Neen.

The rea­ son that it was put back to 12 o'clock may lie in the fact that the monks were not allowed to eat their dinner until after they had said nanes, for in time they anticipated the service--and their dinner--by saying nones imme­ diately after the midday service, and that is probably how midday came to: be called noon. In the old almanacs noon is generally marked at midday and high noon as at 3. FEED YOUNG GIRLS. Must Nave Right Food While Grow- tag.

A young lady says: "Coffee began to have such an effect on my stomach a few years ago, that I was compelled to quit using it. It brought on headaches, pains in my *toU8cles and nervousness. "I tried to use tea in its stead, but found its effects even worse than those I suffered from coffee. Their for a long time I drank milk alone at my meals, but it never helped me physically, and at last it palled on me. A friend came to the rescue with the suggestion that I try Postum Coffee. "I did so, only to find at first, that I didn't fancy it. But I had heard of so many persons who had been benefit­ ed by its use that I persevered, and when 1 had It brewed right found it grateful in flavor and soothing and strengthening to my stomach.

Aers's a reaafca Canada Thistles. Probably there is no plant that has a worse reputation as a pest than the Canada thistle, yet there are others that are far more troublesome. The reputation ot the thistle has caused legislation against it while more dan­ gerous weeds have been overlooked. This plant is called the Canada Canada except "d," which Is enlarged; "a." main stem; "b." flower head; "c, seed with pappus; d." seed. thistle, both in this country and in Canada, as it was supposed to have been brought from Canada at about the time of the Revolution. But it is not a native of Canada. It was well known in Europe at least as early as the sixteenth century and was brought from Europe to Canada by the early settlers. A century ago the New England farmers imagined they had a terrible pest on their hands, but they soon learned that with good cultivation It was not a difficult mat­ ter to keep It from doing much harm. Its worst quality is its persistency, which Is due to tbe fact that it is propagated partly by underground rootstalks as well as by seeds. Peo­ ple that do not know how to handle it allow it to grow up and then cut it down and are surprised that it is found in the same place the next year. The fact is that while its top is developing, food is being elaborated which is developing the underground stems and preparing them for con­ tinued existence on the strength of the stored UD food. The government bulletins recommend that it be mowed twice a year just before flowering, which is in June and August, but the writer of this article believes,. from years of experience with the plant, that it sliould be kept down from the Eugene E.

Why, bless you, we have very genteel amuse­ ments.

This weed imparts a peculiarly disgusting, bitter taste to the milk of cows which eat it, and tbe batter made from such milk is also impreg­ nated with the same peculiar taste. One of the most fatal mistakes In breeding hogs or any other class of stock is to overlook the question of constitutional vigor, for upon this depends the general health and thrift of the stock, their feeding qualities and their ability to assimilate food to the best advantage. Fattening animals should never be allowed to become hungry, nor, on the other hand, should they be fed too heavily. Too heavy feeding clogs the appetite and too long periods between feeds makes the animal restless.
