FACTS About MiLK.-Cream cannot rise

completely Of cream, it should be put int"
broad shallow dish, not much exceeding
one inch in depth. The evolving OF cream
is facilitated by rise and retarded by n
fall of temperature At the usual temper

the cream will probably rise in % hours
but at 7Oo it will perhaps rise in half that
time, and when the milk is kept near the
freezing point, the cream will rise very
SLOWLY. because it becomes solidified. In
vet and cold weather milk is less rich than
in dry and warm. The season has its e.
fects. The milk iu spring is supposed ia

would be best for calves; in summer, 1t II

ewes, on weaving their lambs, should b
put on short, dry pasturage, until theil

extra feed before winter, but there is nj
doubt that they amply pay for it in condi

and beginning to lose their strength
Strong, middle aged sheep, however, de
mand no other extra feed than hay or corn
stalks until winter sets in. "Sheep vel
summered are half inferred" To let then
become thin before winter, renders it diff
