Facts about Milk.


Cream cannot rise through great depth of milk
If therefore, milk is desired TO retain its cream for
the time, it should besput into deep narrow dish
and if it be desired 10 free it most completely of
cream, 1t should be poured into broad fat dish,
not much exceeding one inch in depth. The evolu-
tion of cream is facilitated by rise, and rer .ded
by depression of temperature. At tho usual TEN.
perature of tine dairy-ffty degrees of Fahreuheit-
! the will probably rise in thiry-six hours;
but in seventy degrees it will rise in half that tim
and when the milk is kept the freezing point

In wet and cold weather the milk isl lese rich than
in dry and warm, and this account less cheese is
obtaiRed in cold .han5sin though not tbunde-
-ry weather. The season has its effects. The milk
In spring is supposed to be the Lest for drinking,
hence it would he the best for calves; in summer it
is the best suited for cheesei aud in autumn the
bnt er keeping is better than that OF summer. The
less frequently MIXED give richer milk, and
more butter. The mornings milk is richer than the
evenings. The last drawn o zach milking, at all
times and seasons is richer than the first drawn,
which is the poorest.

The Rat tribe.

The Last number of the London Quarterly
ReUiew contained an interesting article on the
habits, &C., of rats, in which the instances
given of their feGundity, ferocity and ingenai.
ty, are almost incredible.
A single pair of rats in three years, If nm
disturbed, will have thirteen itters of eight
each at birth; and the Young will begin lit
& lring in the same ratio when six months old,
so at the end of three years a single pair will
have multiplied to e58,sos. Calculating that
ten rats eat as much in one day as a man, the
consumption of these rats would be equal to
that of 646O8 men, Ityis clear, then, that if
it were not for tue extraordinary Giminutisn in
tte;r Numbers, caused by the cesseless warfare
carried on against them by dogs, cats, pole
cats, offers, snakes aud beyond ali human rat
,catchers, the ;Whlskered yerPin would sFeedily
