Mingling the Milk Of Different Cows.

AT recent meeting of the dairymen
one OF the members gave some interesting
details in regard to experiments in ming.
ling the milk and cream of cows of differ
ent breeds. He found that the mixed
milk from two breeds will not produce as
much butter as the same milk churned
separately. The explanation is in the
variation in the sizes of the globules
When large globuled milk and small
globuled milk are churned together the
larger globules separate first into butter,
and the breaking of the smaller globules
appears to be retarded. When, therefore,
Jersey COW is kept in an Ayrshire or
Dutch herd for the purpose of influencing
the color of the butter, the large globules
of the Jersey milk are broken first in the
churn, and, while the smaller globules are
being broken, the butter which came first
is being over -churned, and-theOretically,
at least-the quality of the result is i'm
paired, if not the quantity lessened. When
few Ayrshire or Dutch cows are kept in
herd of Jerseys and the milk churned
together, both theoretically and prac-
tically, large portion of the butter of the
small glObuled milk is left in the butter
milk in a state of globules. A like appli-
cation may be made to herds of native or
grade cows. Unless there is uniformity
within certain limits in the milk globule
there is loss of product. When uniformity
is so seldom found in the external shapes
of grade or native herd, it is not probable
that any greater uniformity exists between
their functional productions.-N. Y.

Bedding Out Verbenas.

CHARLES LANMAN writes to the New
World writes upon bedding out verbenas
as follows, which the Western Rural in
dorses, except as to the distance apart at
which they are planted. The latter pa
per says: "We should plant bed of
this size say about fourteen inches apart
the long way of the bed, in two rows the
rows nine inches from the edge the other
way; the second row breaking in between

much sooner, and more perfectly, and the
difference in the number of plants is but

The BaObab.

THE baObab is a plant of monstrous
size, the most colossal and the most
ancient vegetable monument on earth,
has round wOolly leaves, which consist
of from three to seven leaflets radiating
from a common center, and giving them
somewhat the appearance of hand and
magnificent white flower. 1t is an enor-
nous tree, holding among plants the place
that the elephant holds among animals
hoary witness of the last changes which
the earth has undergone, and deluges
that have buried beneath their waves the
productions of early ages. Several bao-
babs that have been measured were found
TO be from seventy to seventy-seven feet
in circumference. From its branches
hang, at times, colossal nets, three feet in
length, and resembling large oval baskets
open at the bottom, and looking from the
distance like so many signal flags.
1t would take fifteen men, with their
arms extended, to embrace the trunk of
one OF these great trees, which, in the
countries through which the Senegal
flows, are venerated as sacred monu.
ments, Enormous branches are given off
from the central stem few feet from the
ground and spread out horizontally,
giving the tree a diameter of over
lUO Ieet, Each OF these branches"
says Mr. Danton, would be "a monster
tree elsewhere, and taken together they
seem to make up forest rather than a
tree"
1t is only at the age of 800 years that
the baobabs attain their full size, and then
cease to grow,
The fruit of this tree is oblong; the
color of the shell passes in ripening from
green TO yellow and brown. The fruit is
called monkey bread" II contains a
spongy substance, paler than chocolate,
and flied with abundant juice.
The bark is ashy gray in color, and al
most an inch in thickness. The negroes
OF the Senegal grind it down to powder,

Pasturing Sheep.

EVERY flock master is anxious to get his
sheep at pasture as early in the spring as
possible. This is laudable and wise
practice, but is sometimes done at the
expense of the pasture and not always to
the best advantage of the flock. II the
pasture is blue grass and of ample ex.
tent the sheep may be turned on as soon
as the grass fairly appears. If the pas
ture be of clover the damage to the field
will, perhaps, not be severe, but if of
timothy and clover, sheep, which gnaw
very close on short pastures, often do ire
parable damage by eating away the bulb
at the surface of the earth, which is a part
of the plant and absolutely necessary to
the existence of this grass; indeed, a
meadow may be mown with scythe so
close as sometimes to kill the crop. How
much greater, then, the necessity Of feed.
ing sheep until the grass is sufficiently
nigh, so that no danger may occur in that
direction.
Many farmers believe that every day
gained in turning the stock to pasture is
so much feed saved such, however, is not
the case, for every extra day the flock is
kept in .he yards the grass is getting better
and better, and when the flock is turned
on after weeks delay, perhaps, the
pasture is in such condition that the
animals are not obliged to gnaw to the
very roots to get scanty supply of dead
grass mixed with a few short spears of
soft and watery blades.
Beside this, if turned to pasture too
soon the flock is almost as much in.
clined to refuse good hay as when turned
on full pasture. The consequence is they
stop growing and lose flesh, and the wool
becomes prematurely loose, and, in any
event, is reduced in quantity and quality.
Do not be in too great hurry, there
fore, to turn out in the spring, especially
if few warm days may have started the
grass. Cold weather will surely inter-
vene-perhaps severe storms of rain, snow
and sleet. The grass will keep, and the
sheep will be far better off in the barn or
in good warm sheds, and you will have
the satisfaction Of knowing that you can
keep them up to their feed without loss of
appetite or deterioration of the wool.
Once checked at this season, wool does
not so readily recover as earlier in the
season; and, as the animal begins to
thrive on the grass, and warmer days
come on, instead of growing, it loosens
and sometimes begins to drop off before
shearing time. Western Rural

Connecticut.

Connecticut went Democratic yester.
day by about 1900 majority on the
gubernatorial vote. The Legislature will
be Democratic in both its branches, thus
insuring the choice of a Democratic
United States Senator in place of Mr.
buckingham, whose term will expire the
4th of next March
Connecticut has always been politically
close State. At every election each
party hopes for victory. Occasionally
the Republicans have been beaten, but
not often, and il so happens that they have
always carried the Legislature when a
United States Senator was to be elected.
Mr. Dixon Johnsonized, although he had
been elected as a Republican. Isaac
Toucey, President Buchanan's Secretary
of the Navy, was the last of the Demo
Gratis elected to the Senate by that State,
and his term expired in 1857. According

now serving his fourth term in the House.
1t is now in order for the sage-eyed owls
OF the press to hoot explanations of the
result of yesterdays election in Connecti-
cut. Nothing is easier than to give reasons
for past occurrences, and draw "lessons"
therefrom. The simple truth of the bust.
ness is that the State, being always close,
would inevitably go Democratic occasion.

Proposed Democratic Revolution.

The st. Louis Times has undertaken a
herculean task in proposing that the rank
and file of the Democratic party shall
ignore leaders" and direct the opera
tions of the party machinery without the
assistance of the great flights" of De-
mocracy. This is a line of policy never
hitherto pursued by the Democratic
party. The masses of that organization
have invariably followed their 'leaders"
as devotedly and as blindly as companies
of soldiers follow their Captains, regi.
ments their Colonies, and brigades their
Generals. To drop out of the ranks has
lin the Democratic party always been
pronounced treason, and punishable with
prompt accommodation. The Times
proposes to reform this practice al
together. 1t says:
The moment that they (the leaders) fan Of their
obligations, either by inaction or unwisdom, or
any manner OF corruption, then it becomes the
duty OF the party to repudiate its treacherous
ence.
Reducing Democratic "leaders" beloao
the ranks, and giving them the title of
servants, 1" is such an utter revolution in
Democratic party practice as to raise the
question whether both leaders and follow
ers will not demur. The Times, however,
leaves loophole in its plan to secure
Democratic party purity. 1t says:
Nothing il to be gained by instituting any new
associauon upon the fne theory that 1t shall en-
body all OF the virtues, with none OF the vices by
Whlch lts predecessors were distinguished.
If "v1ces" are to be left in, we are in
clined to the opinion that the Democratic
leaders will step upon the Times platform,
even If they are to receive the title of
" servants into the bargain. But the con.
clusion of the article in the Times from
which we have quoted will not suit the
Democratic stomach. The subject of
leadership" says the Times, I" is ques-
tion which artful demagogues, and sala-
BILE politicians, and adventurous .schem-
ers should have no part nor parcel in
determining" We may well ask: What
will be left of the Democratic party or.
ganization when the "artful demagogues,
and salable politicians, and adventurous
schemers" shall Lo longer have "part
nor parcel" in shaping its policy? The
Times has entered upon an arduous un-
dertaking, in which we wish it God
speed; for when the classes against which
it wages virtuous warfare are weeded out,
the Democratic party will be greatly re-
duced numerically and the country will
be proportionately benefited. d.-Ohicago
