How They Stole All the Goodness From a Neighbor's Pears. Santa Rosa Republican: " If you have any wild, woolly and untamed bees of the Mustang variety, who range at will wherever blossoms yield honey, you had better "&hoo em away" or a lawsuit may result. In Justice A. J. Atchinson's court Monday such a suit occupied the court's attention for several hours. Thomas Johnson, a fruit dryer of Glen Ellen, brought suit against V. Gordanker of that vicinity for the destruction of 6 tons of drying pears by bees alleged to have their habitat in trees on the premises of the latter. The ad damnum was placed at $2 40. From the testimony of Johnson it would seem that bees, yellow jackets and bumble bees are more or less fond of ripe, luscious fruit that is full of saccharine. Also that the worst marauder of the bunch is the wild bee of the range who makes his hive in a hol low tree and raids the neighborhood lor sustenance. He is particularly fond of fresh slices of fruit at it comes from the "fumlgato:1" because it is warm, soft and Juicy. Pears he just dotes on. Various witnesses agreed that on the lands of Gordanker a swarm of bees was located, only about three- fourths of a mile from the scene of Johnson's fruit-curing operations. The depredations being reported, Johnson said he watched the bees departing at evening and they went like homing pigeons straight to the trees on the Gordanker ranch. Admitting that the bees of other neighbors were occasional visitors and that they might have done some damage also, It . was the fellows "caught, or observed, with the goods" that he accused of doing damage to the above amount. No decision had been arrived at In the premises at the tlmo of going to press. V The lard used In the United States In a year would fill a pail 295 feet In diameter and 334 feet deep.

New York, April 25. James Bryce said farewell to the American people tonight at a dinner given here In his honor by the Pilgrims' Society of the United States, after six years as British ambassador to this coun try. Bryce will sail for home from San Francisco May 3 via the Orient. Many noted men sat at the guest table with the ambassador, who in a speech emphasized the relations of friendship between his country and the United States. Joseph M. Choafe, president of the Pilgrims' Society, presided. Choate began his speech with an cpology on behalf of the dinner committee. "They have not furnished' you with that improved diplomatic beverage that has just been put forward," he said. Choate went on to explain he only learned this morning (j'om the pa pers that the department had pre scribed a new beverage. "I can promise ivlr. Bryce that he will have that when he comes to the United States again, and surely he is coming again." In a serious vein Choate- spoke of Bryce's work as ambassador, declar ing he brought a new fueling be tween the two countries. Concluding, Choate said, address ing Bryce: "Great Britain will send many ambassadors to this country, but there is only one Bryce Jn the whole world." Mr. Bryce did not touch directly upon any Issues now pending be tween the American and Eritish gov ernments. This statement, however, was regarded as significant: ' "With good will and with a con viction that one of every nation's highest assets is that sense of na tional honor which will make it live up to its international obligations, all questions between nations can be adjusted, and I am sure that any questions between your country and mine will be adjusted in that way." , Mentioning that more than a doz en important treaties between his government and the United States had been concluded in the last six years, Mr. Bryce said he hac'. come to admire not only the "brilliant gifts of former Secretary Root, but his fairness of mind and his genuine love of peace." He added that he felt sure that Mr. Bryan "would show no less earn- est wish to work for accord and good will, and Mr. Bryan, indeed, has giv en evidence of this." "My mission," he said, ''has been not merely to represent my sovereign and government for diplomatic pur poses, but also to bear a message of friendship from the Brit'sh to the American people. "In that friendship there is not and there ought not to bo anything exclusive. I have never suggested that you and we should make any sort of alliance against the rest of i the world. We may unefullyt co operate for many purposes, because our. aims and our spirits are substan tially the same. But what we desire is that the ties of friendship which bind the United States end Great Britain to one another should be ex tended to embrace other countries also. "These have been six eventful years for the United Staler, as well as for Europe," Mr. Bryce con tinued. "Here, too, you nave your difficulties. I see that they make some among you anxious for the fu ture. In watching with keenest in terest, I find for you two strong grounds of hope. One is the fact that you have standing between and detached from the large capitalists and employers on the one hand and organized labor on the other, a third body of sensible and fair-minded citi zens, especially among your rural population, persons who own land they till and the houses they live in. "Such an element In a nation gives it strength and stability and it is an element larger here than anywhere else in the world. The other fact is that the standard of civic duty among all your cltlens steadily is ris ing. "We are all of us apt when we are forming higher ideals to be more dissatisfied than we are before with the contrast between ideals and prac tlce. "But there Is no reason for de spondency. No country has shown greater powers of overcoming diffi culties and escaping from dangers than America." Even Exchange.

Idaho Experiment Station: The main objects of cream ripening are to increase the churnability of cream and to develop desirable flavors. It is a well-known fact that cream will churn more readily whei; it is al lowed to sour Many butter-makers on the farm have made thai the main object In ripening the cream, losing sight of the development of flavors entirely. Butter is valued over lard and tallow mainly for the reason that it has a, more desirable flavor. If in the making and handling of but ter this desirable quality is spoiled, the price of the products on the gen eral market must be reduced accord ingly. The consumer eats butter mainly as a relish, and it it has a bad flavor it ceases to be a delecta ble relish. The flavor of butter Ms determined mainly by the treatment which the cream receives previous to churning. In order to make butter with a desirable flavor it Is quite important that the cream should have a clean, sour flavor when it is placed In the churn. Butter made from sweet cream has rather a flat taste and isn't desirable on that account. In order to obtain this clean, sour flavor in the cream it is important that extreme care should be taken in the producing and ripening of the same. ' First of all, cleanliness in the dairy is essential. If the cream has filth In it, the production of a clean- flavored butter Is Impossible. Next to thiB it is important that the prop er kind of ferments be introduced pnd given a chance to develop in the ci'pam. This may be accomplished by adding about 10 per cent of clab bered mi'-v to thecream. The mi'k or starter, as it is commonly called, should have a clean, sour ilavor, and may be prepared as follows: Draw a pint of clean, sweet, whole or skimmed milk into a glass bottle or jar which has been previously scald ed. Allow it to stand at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit until it Is clab bered. Thls will require about ten or twelve hours. This bottle of milk Is then known as the mother starter and can then be poured into a larger p rtion of milk to cause it to sour and become clabber. The larger por tion of milk, however, should first be heated to about 180 degrees Fahrenheit and cooled down to about 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Jn about ten or twelve hours this milk should be clabbered and is ready to be added to the cream and thoroughly mixed with it. It should be allowed to stand at about 65 degrees Fahrenheit for eight or ten hours, 'at which time It should be cooled down to churn ing temperature. After an hour or two it Is ready to churn. This clabber milk or starter, as it Is commonly called, may be preserved from one churning to another by transferring a small portion of it to a bottle of fresh milk which has been heated and cooled ach day. In other words, instead of 'noculating the starter into a large, portion of milk each day, where tha churning comes once or twice a week a mother starter is carried from day to day, and when a larger portion of starter required for ripening the cream for churning It may be prepared by adding some of this mother starter to a larger portion of hutted milk which has been cooled. This starter may be carried for a considerable length of time if taken care of so as not to introduce filth into it. How ever, if it should get off flavor it had better not be used, as the ten dency will be for it to develop a bad flavor in the cream rather than to produce the' desirable flavor which is wanted. 30,000 VOICES! And Many Are the Voices of Ashland People. Thirty thousand voices! What a grand chorus! And that's the num ber of American men -and women who are publicly praising Doan s Kidney Pills for relief from back' ache, kidney and bladder ills. They say it to friends. They tell it in the home papers. Ashland people are in this chorus. Here's an Ashiand case A. B. Scofield, 1087, North Main street, Ashland, Ore., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills gave me great relief from a bad attack of kidney disease. I am now free from all symptoms of the trouble. The backache and kid ney weakness' left me soon after '. used Doan's Kidney Pills." - Mr. Scofield is only one of many Ashland people 'who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches, it your kidneys bother you, don't Blmply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that Mr. Scofield had the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c at all stores. ; Foster-Mllburn Co., Props.; Buffalo, N.

A plan by which college undergraduates may receive military instruction in a camp this summer at little expense to themselves is being laid before the students and officials ot the prin cipal universities of the country by Major-General Leonard Wood, chief Ipf staff of the army, acting for Sec retary of War Garrison. It is proposed to establish this summer two experimental camps, solely for college men, one In the east and the other in the west. Stu dent soldiers to the number of 2,000 will be taken to Gettysburg. About 500 morexwilI be encamped at the Presidio of Monterey, Cal.

Students will be obliged to pay their transportation and also their subsist ence. The latter will cost each man about $1.75 per week. Eacii student also will be asked to buy a uniform and outfit, to cost $7.66 per man. HIS 1DEXTITY A MYSTERY. Four-Yenr-Old Hoy Claimed By Both Parties. New Orleans, April 24. Mystery still surrounds the finding at Colum bia, Miss., of a boy believed by Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Dunbar of Opelousas, La., to be their four-year old child, kidnapped last August. W. C. Walters, a tinker, in whose possession the boy was found, con tends that the child is the son of a woman living at Barnesviile, N. C, and that the little fellow had been tramping with him for some time before the date of the kidnapping at Opelousas. Walters has given the Mississippi state ' authorities the names of many persons in several states who, he says, saw the child with him long before the Dunbar boy disappeared. Governor Brewer of Mississippi has been so much impressed with Wal ters' story that he has declined -to honor the requisition of the Louisi ana authorities, who havo issued a warrant for Walters, until a search-' ng investigation is completed. The Louisiana statutes provida hanging for all concerned in kidnapping. The Dunbars say they have identi fied the child by numerous marks on the boy's body. They now have the boy and are on their way to Opelou sas, believing the environment of his former home will awaken his mem ory, which hav apparently been dulled by cruelty and exposure.
