SEJlIOUS, YET FUMYl
UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR THAT HELPS
TO PUT 8PICE IN LIFE.
obm Example. .( Delightful Incon
s snlttea I. Ipeaklnc, Wrltlna Bnd
Falntlaa; Tht Appeal Strongly to
Rldlenlona.
'.Nothing baa added more to tbe 'merri
ment of the world than the unlnten
tlonal, unconscious humor of writers,
public speakers and, in fact, ail classes
and conditions of men and women
And there Is none so delightful, it far
exceeds In mirth provoking quality the
cold blooded humor of the professional
JWItS-i,
, We Americans are a fun loving peo
ple, and we must and will have our
Jollity. Some one has said with cer
tain truth: "With all our vanity, ener
gy and unrest, we are not a dull, cheer
less people. Sour faced fellows, yellow
and dyspeptic, are to be met with in
oar cars and on our streets, but they
are not the type of the American, for
be Ja as ready for a laugh as for a
speculation, as fond of a joke as an
office." '
And the joke Is all the more enjoy
able when It is spontaneous. The great
er - the stress and strain of life the
greater the need and demand for hu
mor; and no one deprecates the value
of humor excepting those who have
none of this good gift to their portion.
"Sunset" Cox, one of the wittiest men
of bis day, says In his book, "Why We
Laugh:" "Eliminate from the litera
ture and conduct of any one people the
amusing and the amused faculty, and
you produce a sterility as dull and un
interesting as the cinders and ashes of
the volcanic fields of Iceland. But In
clude the : amusing element within
the experience and history of mankind,
and no description of luxuriance, with
grape, olive, nectarine and orange, such
as makes the vales of Portugal a peren
nial smile, is adequate to emphasize the
contrast"
' One could not well Instance a more
amusing blunder than that in a paint
ing of the "Blessed Virgin" In an old
church in Spain. In this painting the
Virgin Is represented- as sitting on a
ted velvet sofa fondling a cat with one
hand while with the other she Is pour
ing coffee front a silver coffeepot
.: This la as amusing as a painting In a
German church representing the sacri
fice of Isaac by Abraham. In this
painting Abraham la about to dis
charge a huge pistol at Isaac When an
angel descends and pours a pitcher of
water on. the pan of the pistol, thereby
aavtng Isaac.
The writer once saw a crude painting
of King Herod with a pair of specta
cles painted on his. nose. There to a
very old painting of St Peter denying
the Saviour, and several of the Roman
.soldiers In the background hare pipes
in their mouths.
Those who are on the lookout for
them will find many amusing blunders
in the dally papers and In periodicals
of all kinds. It was but the other day
that the writer saw Miss Fanny Cros
by referred to In a religious paper as
the "author of so many blind poems."
And It was a great metropolitan dally
that one morning gave its readers the
following Information regarding the
wrecking of a ship the night Deiore

Equally amusing as an ins wince oi

capsizing of a boat at sea. It aatd that

party is conducted in the open yard.
Here congregate 60 to 100 people,
who begin the entertainment with
hymns, going 6n after midnight to
songs and games and often winding
np toward morning with a free
fight. Then there iB the cumfoo

in the world for producing night

the hands, the one instrument pro

you lie in bed vainly trying to sleep.
As hour after hour passes your

made up of loose segments. How
can the drummers keep this up for
ten hours ? And the dancers ? With
the latter exhaustion alternates
with the renewal of the orgy. One
set falls down and another takes its
place. This and other dances are
connected with obeah, the witch
cult of the African.
Every negro and most of the col

the obeah man, however they may
deny it to the whites. One of the
latest developments of this supersti

PRODUCING PURE MILK. r
Sample. That Won Medals at thella
' llonnl Dnlrr Show.
The department of agriculture has
just issued a bulletin by Professor 0.
B. Lnn on the milk and cream exhibit
at the national dairy show at Chicago.
Professor Lane tells how the milk and
cream - which won . the medals were
made and draws some sound conclu
sions from his facts..: He says: i.

i The herd conslsta-of choice purebred
and grade Jerseys, numbering about
thirty milking cows. - It Is the practice
of the owner to raise belf er calves from
the beet cows. The born is well lighted
and ventilated, the floors are of ce
ment, and the walls and ceiling are
kept thoroughly whitewashed. The
manure from the stables is hauled di
rect to the field.
The-feed used In this dairy consists
of corn silage (well eared), shredded
corn stover and mixed hay for rough
age, the grain part consisting of wheat
bran and middlings and buckwheat
middlings, besides the corn In the si
lage. Care la taken during milking to
have aa little dust as possible In. the
barn. The cows are kept thoroughly,
clean." The ' milk from- each, cow la
weighed after milking, and as soon aa
a small can is filled It is taken to a
separate building used only for han
dling milk. Here the milk is strained
through a wire strainer and three rloth
strainers and stored in cold water un
til bottled. After bottling the milk la
placed In cases and packed in ice
ready for delivery. All dairy utensils
are rinsed, washed, scalded with boil
ing water and drained. The herd Is
tuberculin tested, and great care is ex
ercised to keep it healthy., ; r ,. ,
, Silver Medal Milk. .
The barn is a frame structure of or
dinary type. . The herd of twenty-eight
cows Is of mixed breeding and Includes
Jersey, Holsteln and Shorthorn grades.
The cows are. fed a well balanced ra
tion the year round. When the milk
was produced for the contest the ra
tion consisted of millet hay and cut
corn stover, supplemented with corn
and cob' meal, dried brewers' grains
and molasses feed. The milk was pro
duced and handled In a cleanly man
ner, cooled and aerated Immediately
after being drawn and stored in spring
water. . - -
The Gold Medal Cream. '
The milk from which the cream was
taken was the mixed milk of a herd
made up of pure bred Jerseys, Guern
seys, Ayrsblres'and Holsteln-Frleslans.
The grain fed consisted of a mixture of
400 pounds of wheat bran, 100 pounda
of cottonseed meal, 100 pounds of corn-
meaL six to eight pounds of this mix
ture being fed to each cow. For rough
age each cow received forty pounds of
silage and five pounds of hay. Previ
ous to milking the udders were wiped
with a damp cloth, and the milk was
drawn Into covered milk palls. After
being drawn the milk was taken at
once to the' dairy, separated by means
of a centrifugal aeparator and Immedi
ately cooled and Iced.

.The ultimate destination of our
cream Is, at a rule, the butter churn.
This must be kept In view whether the
farmer Intends to make the butter on
his own farm or send his cream away.
A point of primary Importance In
grading butter s flavor,. and It Is a
well known though often little appre
ciated fact that the care of the cream
Is the chief factor Influencing the fla
vor. Therefore If the farmer can pro
duce first, second or third grade cream,
according to tho care be bestows upon
it, surely cream of tbe lowest grade
ought never-to appear at a creamery
or elsewhere.
It haa been suld that the public will
always pay for quality. Tbe. market
was never yet overstocked with a first
grade product It Is the material of
Inferior value which stagnates prices.
Let the farmer produce the cream
which will yield the highest returns,
and that Is first grade cream. To do
this he must keep a close watch on It
from the time It comes from tbe cow.
yes; some enro even Is necessary be
fore the cream Is drawn. We all know
the Injurious effect which the feeding
of certain crops, such as potatoes, tur
nips, etc., sometimes baa on the flavor
of milk, cream and butter. In every
case avoid feeds which show this tend
ency. The watchword In all dairy opera
tions should be cleanliness. Dirt should
never be countenanced, since It is the
home of myrldtls of bacteria. Every
particle of dust floating about In tbe
air carries bacteria; every crevice In a
dirty utensil has them by the thou
sands. ' "
There Is no other farm product so
susceDtlble to bad odors as cream.
Cream kept In rooms where bad odors
are noticeable soon absorbs these, and
they are transmitted to the butter.
Bad air baa an undesirable effect
Keep the milk room sweet, well ven
tilated, clean and have plenty of light
and fresh air In It Never take cream

The accompanying sketch is to Illus
trate a very bandy and expeditious
way of paraffining cheese, invented
and used with the greatest satlrfae-
tlon by the "Frank Hurd company In
Ita system of. cheese factories on
the Western Beserve, says a writer In
Hoard's Dairyman. It Is, aa seen, a
small round bottomed tank made of
heavy galvanized Iron, made double
and secured In a crate frame. Steam
la let Into tbe division, which has a
aafety check to prevent Its blowing up.

A rack is made of s'uel strips, aa do-
niMai with an o:wn oval bottom and
suspended to tho lrvrr arm. Four
cheeses are put Into tni raca, set on
edge aide by side and lowered by the
lever Into tbe molted paraffin, tbe
space between tuem inuruig a inor
engh coating. They are then easily
lifted out and more costless cheeses
substituted.
The plsn of paraffining is eieaaiy,
aiHHii anA attended with none of
the trials and mishaps of submersing
ebeese In kettles or tne wax one si n

Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 4th, 1907.
A decision of importance i to all
mannfacturera of trade mark goods
haa been awarded by Judge Pritch
ardin the United States Circuit
Court of this district, v - 'i
TLe question involved was wheth
er the Allen Brothers Tobacco Co.,
of Lynchburg, Va , has the legal
right to use on ita 'Triveler" brand
of plug tobacco a tag similar in size,
shape, color, and slant of lettering,
but different aa to wording, ; from
that used by the R. J. Reynolds
Tobacco Co., of Winston-Salem, N.
C, on ita "Schnapps" Plug Tobacco.
: In the argument, on motion of
the plantiff, the R. J. Reynolds To
bacco Co., that a restraining order
be issued forbidding tbe defendant
company from further imitating ita
tag, many affidavit were submitted
tending to Bhow that owing to the
similarity of the tags the 'Travel
er" tobacco, purchased by dealers
at a lower price, was sold to unedu
cated chewers for "Schnapps". .
In a decree signed ; by ; J udge
Pritchard, the Allen Brothers To
bacco Company is enjoined ' from
manufacturing, putting up, adverti-
sing,selling, or offering for sale plug
tobacco bearing a tag identical with
or like the said tag of complainant,
known as the "Schnapps" tag.
According to this decision, no
manufacturer can imitate even in
color, shape, or style of lettering, the
trade mark of another manufacturer,
even though tbe wording be entirely
different. ' "v ,
