money is to be spent if, in addition to the
school appropriation, tax is assessed by
them for the same purpose. Where, if
three dollars head, with the poll tax,
be sufficient to pay the current school
expenses of the year, will the appropria-

no tax assessed or collected for school
purposes, therefore the appropriation by
the Legislature of the sum of one hun.

tax to be assessed now. together with the

Showing a gain of IS 5-S lbs. in favor
Of the deep cans. On the morning OF the
"a of the month, both lots Of cream were
churned-that from the deep cans giving
fourteen ounces more butter than the
other. | have but one way to account
for the fact that the increase in the amount
of butter was so much out of proportion
TO the increased weight Of cream. have
usually found that four and one-half lbs.
of cream will yield one pound of butter
and | can only account for the discrep'
ancy from the fact that the cream from
the deep cans wa put into the churn just
after it had been scaldcd, and the butter
came in twenty minutes, while the ether.
put in soon after, required nearly two
hours churning TO produce butter. Ii
order to test this still further, | shall try
the experiment again when we get c-fah'
lished in our winter quarters.
During the experiment We noticed Tho
following peculiaritics,- The cream from
the cans was not SO solid and tonaciou,
as that from the shallow pans, and wa
much more easily strained, did not get SC
thick before it was churncd,-That il
both lots were kept undisturbcd until that
in the pans was ready TO skim, the milk
in the cans was always sour and sometime
thick, and if set away after skimmine
would raise no more cream while if the
pans were skinned when the cans were
ready they would afterward raise a small
amount Of cream. This | cannot account
for, That the cream from :ho cans oc-
cupied about the same bulk during the
whole operation Of churning, while that
from the pans increased in bulk when the
churning was done: this may have been
due to the increased temperature Of the
hrst lot churncd,
Although not yet satisfied as TO the diff
ference in the amount Of butter produced
by the two systems, yet | am satisfied
that the deep cans are best, and except
for experiment shall use no other, as soon
as ! can get a supply. Even if they
yield no more butter, it can readily b.
seen that they will save much work, room
and fuel during the winter, and other adj
vantages during the summer.
We are still using both the cans and
common pans, and always End the pro,
portion Of cream to eight of the former
to form five to six Of the latter by weight.

Death in the Milk Pail.

During our recent visit to Toupokin,
Co., n. y, Mr.. l.. b. Arnould gave US a
few brief notes concerning some %investi-
cations lately made by Professor Law of
Cornell University. One day the Prof
observed a popularity in the cream from
the milk furnished by the milk-men. 1t
appeared to be ropy, and on subjecting
it to an examination under a powerful
microscope it was found to contain a large
number Of living organisms in different
stages Of growth. Pushing his %investi-
cations further, the Professor called upon
che milk man to inquire concerning the
management and keep of his cows and the
manner in which the milk was cared for.
Here he found on looking over the prem
ises that the COWS for lack Of good clean
water-the season being unusually dry
were forced to slake their thirst in q
stagnant pool located in a muddy swalc.
Taking specimens Of this water and cx-
aiming it under the microscope the same
class Of organism was found as those in
the milk. 1t was now pretty evident
where the cause of the trouble lay bat
to make the matter more clear, specimen
of blood were taken from the cows aud
examined under the microscope, whc.
these also were found to contain the sam,
class of organisms.
The animals, on applying thcrmomctci
tests for determining health or disease.
were found to be hot and feyerish, thu
showing that these living organisms in
troduced through the medium of the I'll.

by their power of reproduction and null.
duplication in the blood became the source

Of disease investigating still further, a
particle Of the filthy water was introduced
into the milk free from such organisms,
and known from tests to be in good order
and in q short time the same filthy organ
isms multiplied and took possession of it
in vast numbers, producing the same
character Of milk as that first noticed
Other experiments and investigations
we're made, but all similar in results to
those VIC have described.
These facts are Of very great import.
ancc TO dairymcn aud although it was
known that the milk from COWS drinking
the putrid or foul water Of sloughs and
mud holes had caused much trouble at
cheese factories, still, dairymcn hardly
appreciated the full extent the trouble, or
were aware of the precise nature of the
injury caused by such water. If the lives
Of these foul organisms urc not destroyed

Large or Small Milk Vessels in the
Dairy.

There would seem enough daily occur
ring in the agricultural and horticultural
operations of every farm to illustrate that
the result of mind and thought being d.
recte to these pursuits, has developed many
improvements and discoveries, causing the
old ruts of routine and mere habit to be
abandoned.
The following letter from our friend
Thos. j.. Edge, showing carefully conduct
ed experiments and results, will surprise
most dairymen, SO counter are they to
ordinary practices of shallow milk pans
and exposing as much surface as possible,
TO secure the most cream. We shall be
glad to hear from him again, and from
others making similar experiments
To PaschaH Morris:
Thine Of the 18th, asking for the re-
suit Of the experiment with "the Swedish
system" in dairy, was duly received
The result was somewhat different from
what l anticipated when we last talked OF
this comparatively new plan.
In order to avoid the expensive outfit
of new cans, we made use Of our cans-
twenty inches deep and one foot in diam
eter. One Of these large cans full would
furnish enough milk for six pans, filled to
the usual depth. After a thorough mix
ture of the milk, two equal amounts were
measured off; one Of these was placed in
one or two Of the deep cans, and the 9TH
er in six or twelve shallow milk pans and
u half-pint of cold water added to each
pan and three pints to each deep can. In
each case care was taken to put the differ
ent vessels in cold spring water up to the
urface of the milk,
For the experiment We commenced
skimming 10th mo. 26th, and finished
