ODD THING ABOUT GOLD. Purest Coins Ever Minted Too Soft for Money Purposes. Few people know the real color of sold, because it is seldom seen except when heavily alloyed, which makes it imuch redder than when it is pure. he purest coins ever made were he $50 pieces which were once in ommon use in California. Their coin- was abandoned because the loss asion was so great and because their interior could be bored out and tilled with lead. They were octag- onal in shape, and were the most val- coins ever minted and circulat- age lable ed All gold is not alike when refined. Australian goid is distinctly redder han that taken in California. More- over, placer gold is more yellow than that which is taken from quartz. This is one of the mysteries of metallurgy, because the gold in placers comes from that which is in quartz. The gold in the Ural mountains is the reddest in ihe world.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Georgia legislature, which re- cently adjourned after a long session, made a further addition to the number of counties in the Cracker State, bringing up the whole number from 137 to 145. New Vork, with its great population, is able 1o get along with 61 counties, while California, more than double the size of Georgia, gets along with 57. What political necessity there can be for 145 independent counties in Georgia, each with a separate govern- ment, organization and expense, ‘is a problem, but perhaps the reason is the same which has added to the number of counties in Texas until there is now 246. In one of them at the presiden- tial election of last year only 22 votes were cast, in another 120, in another 180, and in a fourth 60. The propen- sity to create counties in the South and southwest has always been mark- ed. There are 76 counties in Missis- sippi, 119 in Kentucky, 75 in Arkansas, 45 in Florida, and 96 in Tennessee.

Just Wonderful. Vestry, Miss., Jan. Ist (Special)— The case of Mrs. C. W. Pearson, who resides here, is a particular! esting one. Here is the story told by Mr. Pearson, her husband, in his own words. He says:— “My wife’s health was bad for a long time. Last July she was taken terrible bad with spasms. I sent for the doctor, and after making a thor- ough examination of her he said un- doubtedly the cause of her trouble was a disordered state of the Kidneys. His medicine didn’t seem to be doing her much good, so as I heard about Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I got her a box just to give them a trial. Well the effect was just wonderful. I saw that they were the right medicine and I got two more boxes. When she had taken these she was so much better that she had increased thirty pounds in weight. She is now quite well, and we owe it all to Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Paradoxical, but True, How do you account for your de- feat?” asked the candidate who had run on an independent platform. “It was this way,’ was the prompt reply: “All the crooks in town voted a straight ticket.”—Houston Chronicle.

S CURE FOR a WHERE A Nae < ae a ‘Uso SONSUMP TION When to Aerate Milk. For a great many years an opinion | prevailed that the aeration of milk was a necessity. It was believed that In the milk was some kind of an ani- mal odor that could only be taken out by exposing the milk to the air. In the factories where the cream was handled for butter-making or milk for cheese-making, large aerators were used in some cases. More often, how- ever, this was done in bottling plants that supplied milk to adjacent cities. The milk was run over coils in which circulated brine or ice water. On the farms the aeration was done by taking the milk out of doors and pouring it from one pail to another or stirring it with a great ladle. While aeration is still practiced to some extent, it is not practiced to the extent it used to be. Especially is this true on the farms. Among the better class of but- ter-makers there is at the present time about as much opinion against aera- tion of milk as there is for it. The old idea of animal odor in the milk jhas about been dissipated, and it is concluded by some of the deepest thinkers and experimenters that the so-called animal odors were impurities arising from outside sources. When the milk is properly protected from all impurities, there is no danger of there being animal odor in the milk. There- fore the need of aeration does not ex- ist. We believe, however, that in some cases milk should be aerated, because we are conscious of the fact that in many stables odors do get into the milk. Milk absorbs odors, as do many other kinds of food products. taken into the milk and there is a good place in which to aerate the milk, it should be aerated. The win- | ter season gives purer air for this than the summer season. Stringy Milk. Now and then a farmer is puzzled at the appearance of stringiness in the milk a few hours after it is drawn. He at once imagines that the cow is sick or that some certain cow has given this milk and begins a hunt for her. Sometimes the stringiness is due to a case of garget, but in most eases it is due to less important causes. There are certain growths of a minute nature, tound sometimes in the pastures but often in the hay, that produce this stringiness. There is only one way of getting rid of it, and that is by excessive care when the milk is drawn. Generally the trouble begins with the stirring up of the hay before milking, and the filling of the air around the cow witb a vast number of particles that have in them the power of development. In developing“in the milk these at- tach themselves one to the other and make the white strings so annoying When the thing occurs persistently in the stable, it is probable that these spores exist in great numbers in the bay. We can only advise in such cases that the hay be not given the cows until after the milk is drawn ané taken away. To Secure the Best Cows. The practice with regard to the state is varied. Some of our farmers try to breed their own herds, savirg the calves from the best cows, ané tion, improve the annual yield of milk and butter from year to year. Many of our farmers buy cows as they nee¢ them, disposing of those that have proven unprofitable to the local butch er. While dairying is a growing in dustry in Virginia, it has not made as much progress as the legitimate prices obtainable for milk, butter an¢ other dairy foods would seem to war rant. There is an increasing desire for information along dairy lines, anc our farmers are beginning to realize that they must have better cows, anc¢ one of the most certain ways to secure these is through breeding them them selves.

A man can go through the country and on multitudes j of farms find cows that give large quantities of milk rich in butter-fat ; and yet of no known breed. These cows, though having no pedigrees, are not scrubs. They are the best kind of foundation stock for the development |of the common dairy herds of the | country.
