KEEP A Cow.-Penple generally
believe that there is but one kline
of cows milk, always supposine
that there is no adulteration, but nc
mistake can be greater. The milk
sold from wagons has the follow
ing characteristics It is Of uucer
tain quality, and is almost always
poor on account of the feed, such
as bran, steamed hay, and brewers
grains. It is injured during the
Journey from the farm or by the
various transits to the consumer,
aud it rapidly changes. Many Of
the COWS are unhealthy; little care
is taken by those who milk to Sc
cure perfectly clean milk, and the
odors Of the barn-yard and stable
where many cows are kept, where
personal supervision as to details
is impossible, impart a bad flavor
to the milk. Such milk is certain
ly unfit for infants. All this is
said in the surposition that there
is no kind OF adulteration. Con-
densed milk is not open to some of
these evils. There is really no
way for families to get good milk
but to keep COWS themselves. In
cities and towns it would be good
plan for several families to unite
and keep one frst-rate COW. But,
generally, one family should keep
a cow, and this can often be done
in a city as well as in a village, pro-
viding stable is on the premises,
for where carriage horses are kept
a COW can be. I am informed that
many families keep COWS as much
as they keep servants, and they
find it u great advantage.

necton at Portland. The section is as follows:

men OF any city as to the route of their railroad
in such town or city, either party may petition
the board of railroad commissioners TO fix the
route in said town or city, who, after due notice
to said parties, shall hear the same and fix the
route in such town or city. Said board shall
make certificate setting forth the route as fix
ed by them; and the same shall be certified by
the clerk of said board to said parties. The
costs of the petition shall be paid by the rail
road All variations from the route first pro-
posed shall be made upon the map, by the rail
