THE EVENING

CACTUS LEATHER NEW PRODUCT

Giant Saguaro irom Mexico Adapted to New Use. Tbe recent discovery ot a new product. called cacLus leather, Was an accident. like a great many other useful discoveries. There are almost a thousand species of cacti, a large number of which forest the deserts of Arizona and some of the states, and extend far into Mexico. The saguaro cactus, or Cereus giganteus, the largest growth of all, which towers sometimes to a height of 45 feet or more, heretofore has never been utilized for any purpose, except that the fruit is sometimes eaten by the Indians. In Mexico the maguey plant is largely used in the manufacture of pulque, mescal, tequila and agua miel, and the fiber for rope and matting. From the pulp of the leaves paper is made. --- Tuna, the fruit of the opuntia, is relisned by many. The ocotillo has served usefully in the construction of houses, or shacks, and fences for the Mexicans and Indians. From the niggerhead cactus echinocactus wislizenii —cactus candy is made by softening the fiber by boiling and filling the pores with sugar. Other species of cacti have limited uses. In Tucson one day, while handling a piece of the echinocactus wislizenii, the writer noticed, after the moisture was pressed from the fiber, the great strength and pliability :t possessed. When dry, however, it became brittle and chalklike. Experiments, in an-ef-fort to obtain strength and pliability

The Giant Saguaro.

in the fiber when dry, led to a success afterabout a year of careful work. It was discovered that the giant saguaro was particularly adapted to the manufacture of cactus leather products. The heart of the saguaro Is peculiarly formed, being a series of rods or poles set in a circle, extending from top to bottom of the cactus, and into the earth in the form of roots. This heart of the cactus also proved of great value in the manufacture of many fancy articles, such as baskets, caneholders, boxes, picture frames, veneers and for numerous other purposes too varied to mention. When used In this way sufficient of the fiber is left adhering to the rods to bind them together In the form desired. After tanning and drying this fiber makes a tough, leathery Joint, which binds the sticks together in the most secure manner.

The Language of the Umbrella.

There Is a language of umbrellas as of flowers. For Instance, place your umbrella In a rack, and it will often Indicate that It will change owners. To open It quickly in the street means that somebody's eye Is going to be In danger. To shut it quickly signifies that a hat or two will probably be knocked off. An umbrella carried over a woman, the man getting nothing but tbe drippings of the rain, signifies courtship. When a man nas the umbrella, and the woman tbe drippings. It Indicates marriage. To swing your umbrella over your shoulder signifies “I am making a nuisance of myself.’V To put an alpaca umbrella by the side of a silk one signifies "Exchange is no robbery." To lend an umbrella indicates "I am a fool.” . To retffrn an umbrella means—well, never niad what It means; nobody ever done that CL

The Kitchen God.

Tbe kitchen god of China is perhaps not rightly so called. He has place over the cooking -ange, but he Is the “recording aiilgpl” of the Chinese house, and It ls‘ his duty to note the actions of each member of the ixmily and report them to the gods at the end of every month. Once a year too he goes to heaven in person and makei his annual report So once a year the family prostrate themselves before him, carry him In procession and finally burn him, while crackers are fired.

DAIRY AND CREAMERY

CURD TEST IN CHEESE MAKING. Advantages Claimed for the Wisconsin Station Method, < 1. A water box with a close-fitting cover permits of a retention of the desired temperature for a much, longer period <*f time than an open tub. This is important if the weather is cool. • i

Sections of improved curd test; TJ, TJ, test jars showing different stages of test; WL water line; M, milk; F frame; WS, wire standard to support cover; AI, drain holes; WO, whey outlet; DP, drain pail. 2. A faucet in the bottom allows the water to be drawn off and replaced with warm water without handling the bottles, thereby saving time and labor. 3. A rack (fa) holds the bottles (TJ) in place; without this rack the bottles tip over easily in the water when the whey has been emptied. • The bottles have a large top and straight sides, so that the curd can be more easily removed. The bottles are more easily cleaned on this account. 5. The strainer (S) in the top enables the operator to place the bottles In an Inclined position to let the whey drain out. The whey can thus be more quickly and completely removed.

Fishiness in Butter.

What butter experts call fishiness in butter is a flavor somewhat resembling the peculiar odor of herring and It is surprising what a Quantity of it we have at various times on the enver market. The compound responsible for this odor is known to chemists, as it is has been separated and studied the same as other compounds found in butter. A number of things seem capable of producing fishiness, but the principle agents are bacteria. These flavors are often traceable to rusty cans. It is a well-known fact that the tin utensils used for milk and dairy products are not made of pure tin, but of iron coated with tin and unless one purchases what is known as the XXX or XXXX quality he is bound to have worn-out utensils in course of time. —Field and Farm.

Method of Condensing Milk.

A very simple machine has been invented in England for reducing milk to a powder. It is made of two cylinders, into which a Jet of steam is turned that heats them to a temperature of 230 degrees F. As these cylinders are slowly turned in opposite directions, the milk is poured into them, where the liquid portion is at once reduced to a vapor by the intense heat while the solids adhere to the cylinders in a thin layer that is scraped off by two knives into a sieve as these cylinders revolve. The solid portion is at once thoroughly dried and reduced to a powder. If this new invention should prove to have no objectionable feature, the expense of condensing milk will be very much reduced. The machinery now used for this purpose is very expensive, and the process of condensing is not generally understood, excepting by a very few experts who have been put onto the secrets of the trade by the manufacturers of milk condensing machinery.—Exchange.

Measuring Corn in the Crib.

To measure corn find number of cubic feet In crib, then multiply by 9 and divide by 20, which gives the amount in bushels. To determine amount of shelled corn to be obtained from crib of corn In ear, find cubic feet of corn, divide by two and the product will be the number of bushels of shelled corn, as two cubic feet of corn, If sound and dry, will produce one bushel of shelled corn. To find the number of bushels of apples, potatoes, etc., In a bln, multiply the length, breadth and thickness together and this product by 8, and point off one figure in the product for decimals.

Feeding the Fowls Skim Milk.

Sweet skim milk or milk of any kind cannot be put to better use than to be fed to the growing chicks. Never feed the young or growing chicks slope or sloppy food of any kind. Nothing Is more injurious. The young and growing chleks must have grit of some kind provided for them. Where there Is plenty of good, sharp sand, coarse gravel and material of this kind, specially prepared grit need not be given to them. A little small charcoal broken aa fine as a grain of wheat la always of advantage both for yoang tad old.

LIVE STOCK

ON HOG GROWING. Value of Skim Milk Feeding on thl Production of Park. Through a long series of experiments conducted at Ottawa and Guelph and all over America It has been found that with the average price of grains the cost of producing a pound of pork from the time a pig Is two months old, or weighs about 80 pounds, until he Is six or seven months old and weighs from 100 to 200 pounds is from 4 to 4% cents a pound, says the Indiana Farmer. Our experiments go to show that by judicious use of skim milk In conneotlon with the meals or grains, we are able to produce a pound of pork for from one cent to a cent and a half less than where meals alone are used. To get the very best results It Is quite unnecessary and disadvantageous to feed skim milk or whey In the largest quantity. The very best results came from where we fed from two or three pounds of skim milk to one pound of meal. With such feed we find our skim milk will replace sufficient meal so that we are really selling It for from 40 to 45 cents a hundred pounds. If we feed our pigs from five to eight pounds a day we are selling It at the rate of 42 cents per hundred pounds. As we increase the proportion of skim milk to meal down comes the value of our whey or skim milk. Wherever we have fed skim milk we have got a very Improved article of pork. The pigs have hardly ever been too fat. The skim milk seems to induce growth of the very best kind. In every case where we have fed skim milk the bacon has been select, and when we killed. It has been In every case hard and very seldom too hard, either.

Care of the Horse’s Feet.

If left to nature the foot of a bora* will not always grow out full, strong and perfect in form. When traveling over soil containing stone or gravel the horn wears off as fast as necessary to keep the foot In fair proportions, but on prairie soils which are soft the horn grows rapidly with the result that the feet split, become uneven and indeed the ei> tire bony column is not infrequently altered in form and the animal partially if not wholly ruined. It is due to this fact that so many badfooted horses are seen upon the streets. The farrier gets all,of the blame in fhseny such cases, but the trouble really "began upon the ranch. To grow the feet in the best possible manner l the colt should be driven into the corral once a month and the feet should (be carefully Inspected. Ap a rule it; is necessary to shorten ’ the toes awm this is done with a rasp. When the toes are kept short the quarters/ will as a rule take care of themseflveSr for the frogs will bear upon the ground and keep the feet properly spread. The frog should be particularly noticed for if it gets out oft contact with the bearing surface, the' foot will very rapidly lose its proper shape, the heels will oontract and the walls at the quarters become brittle and weak.—Field and Farm.

Sheltering of Farm Animals.

When too many animals are congregated in a feed lot it is difficult to furnish the proper amount of shelter. The larger ones crowd the weaker and get more than their share of food, while the smaller get less, says Ranch and Range. It Is also Impossible to give the less vigorous steers that careful attention which their weaker individuality demands, consequently the loes from this source will be so serious in connection with wholesale feeding as to largely offset the profits made. There Is also usually a waste of manure, whereas when the feeding is done In •mail lots it can be turned to excellent account. Tbe large feederhas also to purchase a considerable amount of food. When grain Is high It is impossible to make any considerable profits and In some Instances It Is fed at a loss, whereas the small dealer who feeds his own grain and fodder chiefly can obtain from these at least a fair equivalent, as tn this way he Is virtually sending suoh produce to the market.

Abolish the Blinders.

The best handlers of horses are condemning blinders. The purpose of blinders is to shot off from view any object from behind the horse that might cause the horse to become alarmed and try to run away. As to this, blinders have proven more disastrous than beneficial. If a horse passes some object that is not fully understood by him, and causes fright, the shutting off from view of this scarecrow by blinders only increases the fear. Any horse of ordinary good sense can soon be taught not to scare at flags, cars, covered wagons, umbrellas, etc., by letting him see them and understand them. Oive the horse the full power of all his senses; let him see, hear and imell. If need be, to satisfy his tsars. —Live Stock Indicator. *
