To Kill Lice on Cattle.
BY DIR ii. A. CUTTING,

When stock is found to be so in
tested, at once comes the question
Of a remedy. Soap suds, oil, tobac-
co, kerosene, ashes, mercurial ONT
ment, benzine, turpentine, brine and
even alcohol, are recommended, and
many times the creature has suffer-
ed much more from the remedy than
the louise. Every one can see that
oil (whale or lard oily would be the
most harmless remedy, and, at the
same time it is the most efiectual.
The lcuse, like the animal on which
it dwells, must breathe, but it
breathcs in a very different manner,
drawing its breath through spira-
cles on it sides. The air penctrates
small tubes, called trachea. The oil
at once stops those tubes, and, as
the louise cannot breath, it dies of
sutfocation. This is sure, but
perfectly harmless remedy. 1t
need not be applied in great alb un-
dance, but if whale oil is used, a
little applied the whole length of
the back will be effcctual
and at the same time it
helps allay the inhammatory action
produced by the constant biting of
the lice. Lard rubbed in the hair
is equally ctfectual, and l would
here state as my opinion that the
use of the other remedies named is
even more dangerous to the health
and growth of the animal than the
lice themselves. Though there are
several varieties of lice, oil is equal
ly effcctual in all cases, the larger
varieties requiring more Of it per
haps than the smaller species.

ing is 1880 IT,, story aud half,
stone foundation, balloon frame,
painted, with all necessary machin-
cry and heating done by steam. It's
capacity is for 500 cows.
2. 1t may be inferred from the
above that for cooperative facto-
ry there should be as many as 300
cows. 1t will take but little more
expense to manufacture the milk of
200 or 800 more. For a family dali
Try the number may be much less,
but it is. not advisable to attempt
the manufacture in that way if fac
tory can be started.
There are many styles of appara-
tus now in use, some of which re-
quire steam, some do not. The
limitation of this article will not
admit of detail on this point.
T.. 1t takes about ten pounds Of
milk to make a pound Of cheese.
The cost of manufacturing, inclu-
ding use Of factory, will vary from
one and one half cents to three cents
per pound. The average cost may
be set down at two cents. If the
cheese sell at ten cents per pound,
the value of milk at the factory IS a
trifle less than eight cents per gal
Ion; if the cheese sell at fourteen
cents, the value OF milk is about one
third more. 4 sta
Much depends on the milking
qualities of the cows, as to whether
it is renumerative or not; though,
perhaps, more depends upon the
manner in which COWS are cared tor,
the regularity Of milking, kind of
pasture and feed, quality of water,
care given to the milk, and other de-
tails. Let no man engage in this
business who does not mean to be
careful prompt, honest, and in every
way up to the mark. The care of
milk is one of the fine arts. and with
many may be classed among "the
lost arts" Such scrupulous cieanli-
ness is rs essential to success, may
not be looked for from thousands
who arc disposed to engage in the
business. One careless patron of a
factory nay spoil a large amount OF
product.
The native COW of the western
states, on wild grass, can scarcely
be expected to make 800 pounds OF
cheese in the season. Take them
as they run, a phrase with much
meaning in this case, and the aver
age will be much less. A choice
COW, on the best of iced, and during
the longer season of cultivated
grasses, would make from four to
six hundred pounds, or even more

Cooking Meats.

From the Boston Journal Of
Chemistry, we clip the following:
The most economical way Of us
ing meat is to cook it in hot water,
and serve it up III its own gravy. II
it is boiled for preparing soup, the
water should not be too quickly
raised to the boiling point, since
this tends to coagulate The albumi-
nous portions, and to prevent the
juices from passing into the water.
The meat should be chopped or cut
as fine as possible, and stepped for
some time in cold water, which
should then be gradually heated up
to a temperature not exceeding $50
degrees Fahrenheit, or So degrees
below its boiling point. At the last
moment the soup may be allowed to
reach the boiling point. The bones
should be crushed or broken up IN
to small pieces, and boiled, or rath-
er simmered, for eight or ten hours,
in order to thoroughly extract the
nutritlve matter.
If we wish to cook meat in such
way as to preserve the maximum
of nutriment in tho most digcstiblc
form, we should place it in large
pieces in boiling water and keep it
there for five minutes. The high
temperature coagulatcs the albumen
at the surface of the meat, stops up
it's pores and thus prevents the
juices from escaping. After this
boiling for about five minutes, add
cold water to reduce the heat to
about 100 degrees f., and keep itat
that temperature till the meat is suf-
ficicntly cooked. 1t will then be
found to be tender, juicy, savory,
and nutritious. Sailed meat, intend
ed to be eaten cold, should be al
lowed to cool in the water in which
it has been boiled.
In roasting meat, as in boiling it,
the first object should be to- coagu-
late the albumen ut the surface, in
order to prevent the escape Of juic-
es. The meat should be at first
placed close to the fire, kept there
for ten or fifteen minutes, and then
withdrawn to greater distance
from the fire. If cooked in the ov-
en- of stove or range, the oven
should be very warm when the meat
lis first put into it, kept at the same
heat tor short time, then cooled
down partially (by opening the door
or checking the fire), and the roast
ing should then be allowed to go on
very slowly, SO that the inner parts
may be thoroughly done. The loss

We have many inquiries about
the cost of starting factories, the
least number of cows it will, take to
operate one to advantage, character
of apparatus, what they. pay for
milk, how much milk to a pound of
cheese, whether it pays, etc. 1t is
evident that there is increased in
tcrest in the subject over a large
portion of the west, and we will an
swer generally, as follows:
!. A factory Will cost from $500
to $4,000, according to the means,
fancy and purposes of the builders.
If one wished to arrange for work
ing up the milk Of from forty to
eighty COWS, and the least possible
expenditure was an object, a few
make-shifts being adopted, the nee
essary cash outlay for implements
and materials might not DO more
than from three to four hundred
dollars; being all of the cheapest
manufacture. But to build ahouse
for making and curing, supply the
necessary machinery for handling
the cheese and milk in an ecenomi.
