"DOP" IN EVERYTHING

Result of Investigations by the State Analysis Experts of What We Eat. —♦ MATS PRODUCTS ADULTERATED Even Lard Is a Mixture—Man Who If Not Stuck on a Title in(liana State News. Indianapolis, Sept. 28.—-That Indiana retail dealers have in stock great quantities of adulterated foods is shown by the first inspection work of L. W. Bristol, of the state laboratory of hygiene. Several hundreds of samples of foodstuffs have been sent into the laboratory by Inspector Bristol, who has rgfently been at the following cities: Columbus, Anderson, Muncie, Alexandria. Brazil, Terre Haute, Vincennes and Washington. “The samples sent in show that there is much adulterated food on sale,” said H. E. Barnard, state chemist. “Cider” Vinegar Is Impure. “Ninety per cent, of the so-called cider vinegars, as huge a per cent, of the vanila and lemon extracts are impure; so also with jellies, spices, genuine Vermont maple sirup (manufactured here in Indianapolis for the most part). So also with olive oil, made from cotton seeds: pie fillers, made from chemicals, and various sorts of cheeses that are impure. Meats Are Full of Borax. “The prepared meats also show that borax is used in the preparation," continued Barnard. “I should say that about 90 per cent, contained borax. This is true of the output of some of the packers in this state, as well as some from outside, but they all seem to be anxious to correct the evil. A representative of one of the large packing houses came to the office yesterday and showed his willingness to cooperate with us in our efforts. They cannot afford to have their goods branded as adulterated. Even the latrd Is “Tainted.” “Lard, also, is coming In for its full share of attention,” continued Barnard. “At one of the local groceries pure leaf lard is now being sold four pounds for a quarter. Now. as the very lowest wholesale price for the pure lard is 8% cents a pound, there is no question that the lard quoted at the 6cent price is adulterated.” Condition of the Milk. Barnard said that the Inspection of milks in the cities named showed that only in Terre Haute was there adulteration, but that in that city 33 per cent, of the samples submitted contained formaldehyde; some also were skimmed or watered and two samples were both adulterated and watered. COULD NOT LIVE ON A TITLE “Deputy State Entomologist” High Sounding, but It Doesn’t Pay Grocer’s Bills. Columbus. Ind.. Sept. 28.—Charles H. Wagner has resigned as deputy state entomologist because there is no salary attached to the. place. He had a high-sounding title, but he did not think that was enough, and so his resignation has lieen forwarded to the state entomologist. When the San Jose scale became so bad here the state entomologist was sent for. and after he had made an inspection he decided that some resident of this city should be appointed as his deputy, so there would be some one on the ground to look after the scale. Wagner accepted the place with the understanding that either the people of this city or the city council would provide a salary, but the people were indifferent and the city did not have the money, so his resignation followed. ( She Bears a Charmed Lifts. Alexandria, Ind., Sept. 28. The accumulation of coal gas generated in a cooking range in the home of Mrs. Mary Carter, of this city, caused an explosion which tore the range to pieces with a report like a cannon, smashed the reservoir and drove It through a wall, flattened the coffee pot against the celling, but did not in the least injure Miss Byrfle Vinson, who was standing over the stove when it exploded. Somebody Poisoned the Well. Washington, Ind,. Sept. 28. An attempt was made to poison the family of John Williamson. The father, 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son may die as a result. The family had returned home from the funeral of Leonard Southerland’s baby and drank water from the well. Examination shows arsenic had been placed in the pump. Thug Fatally Shoots a Merchant. Anderson, Ind., Sept. 28. Walter L. Ellison, 33 years of age, who keeps a genera) store at Emporia, a small town near here, was shot and fatally wounded at night by a masked man. The Intruder entered the store with • revolver in his hand and Ellison tnade a step, forward as if to resist and was shot in the head. Bee Sting Is Vervy Serious. Portland, Ind., Sept 28. Mrs. Oacar Stegall, near Salamonia, is threatened with lockjaw from a peculiar cause. A few days ago she was stung by a bee, and the result could hardly have been more serious had she pierced tier flesh with a rusty nail.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Greaar Heeia In Horaea. When farm horses are engaged tn work in' wet, sticky soils cases of greasy heels are of more frequent occurrence than at any other time. In the majority of cases greasy heels are due to carelessness or inatteatton on the part of the attendants in not propperly cleaning the legs and feet of their horses after returning from work In the fields, writes a Maine farmer in American Cultivator. For ordinary grease there is no better dressing than a lotion of sulphate of sine, applied every evening after the animal has returned from its work and of course after the affected part has been thoroughly cleaned of any filth which may. have collected during the day. Neglected cases of grease in horses frequently prove very toublesome and are often very difficult to effectively cure. The animals when suffering from grease should have special attention paid to their food, so as to keep their bowels in free working order, if anything on the loose side. In dealing with the disease itself one of the great secrets to success is thorough cleanliness,' for so long as the parts affected are allowed to become occasionally covered with dirt or filth so long will It be futile to expect satisfactory results to follow any treatment that may be resorted to. Enftland’M Sheep Scab Law. The compulsory dipping orders of the board of agriculture will go a long way to stamping out this tiresome disease. It was a pity that compulsory dipping in all parts of the country was not made obligatory, but the authorities did not see their way to adopt the recommendations of the sheep scab committee in this particular; consequently action has been limited to actually affected districts and those for which their local authorities desire compulsorydipplng to be applied. When any district has been declared a compulsory dipping area every owner of sheep therein will be required to make returns of the number and description of the sheep in his possession. Their dipping must afterward be performed in the presence of an inspector of the local authority, and they cannot be moved out of the area until this has been done, and then only by license.— London Mail. Throwing: Cattle. Throwing a bulj or a cow not carrying a calf is not a difficult task and can be done In such a manner that the animal will not be injured in the least and is so simple that any one need not be afraid to attempt it. The throwing device is merely a rope tied about the horns or neck or to a halter, given a half hitch about the neck, a second half hitch, but direction of rope reversed, about the heart girth, and a third half hitch just in front of the hook points or hip bones. One man stands near the animal’s head to hold the halter, and a second grasps the rope and pulls backward, either to one side or the other, according to whether the rope is right or left hitch. The animal stands still, acts as though he were surprised, but soon easily rolls over to his side. To hold him securely attach ropes to front and rear feet, stretch and fasten.—American Cultivator. Sheep Notes. ' Wool la a product that does not take fertility from the soil like grain growing, but actually adds to the value of the soil for growing grass. Give the yearling sheep extra attention, as generally require more care and better feed at this uge than later. The growth of wool during the season depends very much on the condition of the sheep and the care and feed which are given it. Sheep require a variety of food to form flesh and fat. With sheep rather more than with any other class of stock care must be taken not to overfeed. Hens Need Lime. Hens that get so crazy for eggshells usually have been Improperly fed, and they crave lime. Hens in their natural state produce very few eggs and require little lime for the manufacture of shells. By careful breeding conditions have been arbitrarily changed until a good hen will now produce six times her own weight in eggs during the year. It takes considerable lime to make shells for so many eggs, and unless this Is provided for the hens acquire an abnormal appetite and will eat shells or anything else that will satisfy them. Ho» Philosophy, A symmetrically developed hog Is the profitable porker. . A runty pig may be properly defined as one that eats Its head off about three or four times a year. The hogpen Is the logical banking institution on the farm, and the farmer can draw on his account any day In the year. Everlastingly at It Is the successful hogman’s motto. You can’t make the most of the pigs and slight them for one single day.—Farmers Advocate. Buek+heat For Ho<». Buckwheat (the grain) Is a very excellent feed for hogs, almost as good as wheat, but rather costly food for that use in the south. It Is also a splendid feed for chickens. If you keep bees you can afford to grow buckwheat for the sake of the honey that the flowers supply and let the pigs and chickens eat the grain.—Atlanta Constitution. ■rood aad Food. Good breeding may produce a good strain of hens, but there It stops. Good feeding must 1m added to produce eggs or meat.

The SPORTING WORLD

Arthur Duffey's Retirement. Arthur F. Duffey, champion sprinter of the world, will ruu no more. His reason for Retiring is that he is tired of the game. He feels that he has had his day and that he would rather retire when at the height of his fame than wait until defeat forces him out While abroad recently Duffey won two new championships and estab__ lished three w’orld’s records for short distance events. His best performance

ABTHUR DUFFEY.

was his victory over G. A. Widmas, the Australian 100 yard champion, who had not been defeated before in years. Duffey also took the measure of Macpherson of New Zealand. In speaking of his trip to New Zealand Duffey says that the runners there were started as horses are at the race tracks in this country. Every runner has to step into his partition with a barrier across his breast and when everybody is ready the starter snaps it May Sutton, fennia Champion. California is proud of Miss May Sutton’s success in the recent English tennis tournament, and during its progress the bulletin boards of the newspapers in Los Angeles and Pasadena were surrounded by interested throngs. Strange to say, in this Sutton family, which boasts of four girls, all of whom are tennis experts. Miss May, the greatest of them all, was a most unpromising beginner. When a child she seemed to be all •bands and feet,” so much so that her elder sister, who tried to coach her, gave up in despair. To her sister’s taunts May replied, “You will see the day when I will be the best tennis player in the world.” And she set out alone to work out her own salvation. Little by little her awkwardness wore off and she continued entering tournament after tournament until she was recognized as the best player In southern California. She was in the east last year, winning both the national and middle states titles without losing a set—a wonderful feat, which she eclipsed in England. Austral la'n Woman Swimmer. Miss Annette Kellerman, who has broken a number of swimming records in Australia, is accompanying her father on a visit to this country and England. She is fearless and a wonderful high diver. Pulliam Predicta. President Harry Pulliam predicts that this will be the last year of independent or so called outlaw leaguers.
