Five million dollars was wasted by the government on a nitrate plant out of Cincinnati.

(Prepared by the t'r.lied States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Farm women In many parts of the country have doubled their receipts for butter. In some Instances this in crease in price is due to the improved quality of the product and In others to better marketing methods. Faith the better quality and the better selling have been made possible by the assist ance given the butter makers by the home demonstration aeonts. These ex perts in home economics, who are sent out by the department of agriculture and state agricultural colleges, teach Improved methods of making butter and cheese, as well as other household lore, to the women who live in dairy counties. As soon as enough women In one locality nr, making first-class jit X. t Butter Making on the Farm. butter enough to warrant starting a butter club, one Is organized. These circles or clubs market co operatively, and the quality of the products which are sold through them is guaranteed by the member. One such club Is located In Neshoba oun ty, Miss. It has had more demands for Its butter this year than it could fill. During the season it has supplied three markets and shipped away about 40 pounds each week. During the first six months of the year the Hope But ter circle of Neshoba county received $725 for butter shipped out of town. KEEP COWS CLEAN IN WINTER Especially Difficult Task When Anl. mail Are Confined to Stable During Cold Weather. During the winter season when cows are housed much of the time It la especially difficult to keep them clean. The only practical way is to prevent thern as far as possible from becoming dirty. The practical way to do this, BUggests Percy Werner, Jr., of the University of Missouri college of agriculture, is to use the modern stall. When the cow is tied in such a stall most of the droppings full Into the glitter, the platform remains reason ably clean so that the animal does not become coated with manure every time aha lies down. The munure should he removed at leust twice each day and plenty of bedding should be used on the platform. If visible dirt is present In the re gion of the udder and flanks at milk ing time It should be removed by grooming. A covered milking pail, which can be purchased at any dairy supply house, will keep from CO to 70 per cent of the dirt out, which otherwise falls Into the milk from the cow during milking. PROVED CURVATURE Or EARTH Scientist Settled Disputed Question, But Loser Proved Himself to Be "Poor Sport" It will scarcely be believed that the question of the shape of the earth could ever have disturbed the peace ful atmosphere of the law courts. Yet 'n 1n7! the question, Indirectly. Indeed did come before three learned judges, and the case excited a deal of Inter est and amazement. The circumstances wen as follows : The plaintiff, one Hampden, enter tnlned the opinion that the world was not round, and Issued an advertise ment in a paper challenging philoso phers, divines and scientific professors to prove contrary from Scripture, rea son or fact. He deposited $2.r"m in a hank, to be forfeited to anyone who could prove to the satisfaction of any Intelligent referee that there was such a thing as a convex railway, canal or lake. The challenge was taken up by no less a person than the late Prof. Alfred Iiusst-U Wallace, who proved to the satisfaction of the referee the curva ture to and fro of the r.erford level canal between Whitney bridge and Welsh's dam (six miles) to the extent of five feet, more or less, and the "J"i was paid over to him. Hot he did not keep it. The plain tiff apparently began to see that he was making a fool of himself, and brought an action and recovered back his deposit on the ground that the whole affair was a wager, and there fore Illegal. Springfield Republican. LURE TO THE ADVENTUROUS Through All the Aqe Man Has Dared Every Danger In the Search for Beautiful Things. Now. a thine of beauty that is rare and difficult to obtain seems ever to have exercised an Irresistible lure to adventurous man. To possess It he will suffer the hardships of the high est mountain climb, or risk the al most certain dangers of disease In tropic zones. He will dare death nt the hands of savage enemies and pur sue his quest far Into the regions of unknown wilds. Into the depths of shark-infested seas he dives with the hope of secur ing a lustrous pearl. Then to the top most Alpine peak he climbs for a rare specimen of the edelweiss. A glitter ing Jewel In an Idol's head may tempt him to Invade the sacred products of an Indian temple, or a beautiful flow er lure him far Into the primeval for ests of brazil, Colombia or I'eru. To this spirit the civilized world owes not only Its greatest geographic discoveries and important additions to scientific knowledge, hut to It is also due the discovery of many of nature's choicest things of beauty, things whose practical value may be but slight, but whose appeal Is to the artistic and esthetic sense.
