OIL OF PEPPERMINT.

More than one half of all the oil of
peppermint, spearmint, and tansy
used in the world is said to lie pro
cured and distilled in Michigan, savs
the New YoU Post. The center of
the Industry Is St. Joseph County.
Peppermint plant to the weight of
15,000 tons when dried are cultivated
every year in the State. From these
the essential oils are distilled. Karly
In sprint: the roots arc planted in fur
rows from two to three feet apart. In
a day a good workman will plant an
ncre with them. A few week later
the rows meet and cover the entire
tround. In September the planU
mature They are covered with
fragrant purple blossoms and the
lime has arrived for mowing.
After lylntr In the sun to dry they
are raked" Into heaps and taken to tha
d stilleries, of which there are about
ISO In the State. It Is estimated
that.'tfO pounds of dried peppermint
plants produce one pound of oil. The
yield per -'"' is 1" pounds of oil.
Distilled peppcrirlnt brings from
S 1. 25 to ." per pound In the home
market. The Industry was originally
established about lMi years ago.
Karly In t'ie present century a begin,
iiintf was made In this country in
Wuvne fnuiity. N. Y., and in Sr.
Joseph, Mi-li. To-day nine-tenths
of the entire product of the world is
made in tho I'nited States. The rich
alluvial soil so abundant in Ml hlgan,
together with Its desirable climate,
has enabled the Mate to take prece
dence over any oth r State or country
in this industry.

Tho (piality f butter may be influ

experiments conducted at the Maine
Agricultural Kxpurimcnt Station. The
milk from live cows was analyzed and
the effect of the feed on the iptality of
the butter noted during three periods.
The practical fact which the experi
ment makes evident is that a mixture
of cottonseed meal or linseed meal
with corn meal and wheat bran, espec
ially the cottonseed meal mixture, pro
duced butter less easily melted and of
11 more solid appearance tliun did the
peas and barley. This indicates that
the tendency of butter to melt during
hot weather may be controlled to a
large extent by the kind of food the

Fowls Kmc tiik Tvtu.r.
Of all the fowls the well bred Dork
ing still stands pre-eminent. mn a
correspond, nt in F.nglish Livestock
Journal. The reasons for this me:
First, it is a large sized bird, ami its
meat ia t. n I. r. savory ami juicy, at
the same tinn sullicieiitly lin.i in tex
ture. Second, the bnast is very
broad, deep and projecting. 'This is
the most valuable part id the fowl, and
in the Dorking enables one to cut ex
tra wide slices from it. 'The shoulders
also are quite full, which is another
good point iu itn favor. 'Third, the
body is a long parallelogram, thus
making it iu comparison to other fow la
like that of the Shorthorn cattle.
The Houdan is the nearest approach
to the Dorking of all other breeds,
both in size, good shape ami quniities
of meat. As it eiirrit a fifth toe and a
top knot, it is generally thought to be
across of tho Dorking or the I'olnnd ;
fcyet 1 have hcud it stated iu a Froneh
publication that they have been known
ia France for upward of three hundred
years.
The game fowl ia that quality, but
iU ui mi in of differout tlavur from the
two above, resembling thnt of the
pheasant, and for this reason ninny
preterit. The ize wiries from large
medium to small, and does not carry
so much meat on the breast in propor
tion to its size 11s the Dorking aul
Houdan. This is deep but more round
ing and less projecting. Some other
breeds of fnwla are well shaped and
moderately full in the breast. Among
these I found the Ibmiinitpie super
ior. Most of the l'.iisteru fow ls are defi
cient in a good breast save the Liings
han, which iM said to be pretty fair iu
this point. The others, except Hrahtna
now and then, run too much rump,
where they are extra large. As the
meat here is not eiptal to that oil the
breast and rather course, they do
not excel as table fowls. Hut the
chickens grow large rapidly, mid as
people generally are not particular as
to the iiality of poultry they s, II well
and are popular with the public, their
extra size being their chief merit.

As the result of my tests, I find the
ROYAL BAKING POWDER superior to all
the others in every respect. It is entirely
free from all adulteration and unwhole
some impurity, and in baking it i;ives off
a greater volume of leavening gas than,
any other powder. is therefore not only
the purest, but also the strongest pointer
with which I am acquainted.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort nnd improvement nnd
lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter thau other and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by moro promptly
ndapting the world's Wst products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced ia the
remedy, Svrup of Tigs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing ami truly
beneficial properties of a jierfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
disiH'lling colds, headaches nnd fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, bccauc it nets on the Kid
iievs, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of l'igs is fur side by all drug
pists in Hie and $1 bottles, but it is man

A Q"rr Ifo;ioaltlon.
How could two persons be born at
the same time and die at the same
lime at the end of II ft y ears, and
vet one of them live one hundred
days inure than the other'
The answer t ui us upon the familial
fact that a poison who g. cs around
tl.e world t ward the vvevt !n,is;i
lay, while the person who navels in
the o p isite dire lion gains a day.
We will siipp'se. tlnii. that tin
two men ill quest ion Were born at iho
-.inn instant in Dublin, f:om whence
a trip around ihe world may easily
be tini' e once a year. ( tin of t iiem

i ther toward thcea-t. ie' loses a
day every year, the o' her g .ins a day
every year. When the in-u die at
Hlty tears of age one has seen on,;
hundrtd days more than the oilier.
A man loses hl-s power when lin
loses his temper.
