EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON

A correspondent writes that on the 4th
of last month, Milan was visited by peeu-

the sunlight poured through in food Of
color, Illuminating the under edges Of
clouds with tints as strange as brilliant.
The whole atmosphere was tinged with the
yellow glow for the space Of minute,
when Il changed TO green and blue, then
the rent in the clouds disappeared, and
the sombre sky Of the early morning

Spelling MILK.-Mr. X. A. Wilson
says in regard to spelling milk: In

Gated a faint to the milk in the bag, by
simply tainting the air breathed by the
COW. Milk in the vat Of a cheese fac
tory during the heating of the curds
gave off smell like that of stagnant
water. It was found that one of the
patrons had allowed his COWS to pass
through narrow slough, the mud of
which adhered to their udders. Parti-
Giles Of dust thus got into the pail at
milking, and thus introduced fungi from
the slough, which multiplied in the
milk, and spelled the whole of it-giv-
ing it the odor of the foul water Prof.
Law, of Cornell University, finding the
cream on his milk to be ropy, examined
it with a microscope, and found it infest-
ed with living organisms. On investi
cation he found that the herd from
which his supply came, drank the water
of a ''stagnant pool, located in a muddy
swale." The microscope developed or
ganisms in this water of the same sort
with those found in the milk The same
were also detected on microscopic ex-
animation of the blood of COWS. That
the COWS were in diseased condition
was shown by the thermometer test
they being hot ard feverish. A little
Of the same filthy water was introduced
into milk which proper tests had shown
to be pure, and in due time "the same
filthy organisms multiplied and took pos
session of vast numbers, producing the
same character of milk as that noticed.
This investigation, made by careful OBJ
server, proves conclusively that the germs
of disease and of milk-spoiling fermen
can be introduced into the blood and int
the udder, by simply allowing the COW
to drink unsuitable water. 1t holds GU
the plainest possible practical lesson t.
the dairyman, and if he disregards it
and so misses his opportunity for max

himself to thank. 1t shows that tn
cleanliness of dairy farm must be rad

foul odors should faint the undraw
