DIFFERENCES IN QUALITY OF MILK

DIFFERENCES IN QUALITY OF MILK
In the spring of 1886. | made II difference
OF 20 per cent in the value OF the milk OF
my own dairy, for cheese making, in u
single week time, by change in the
quality of feed. and thought had been
doing pretty we'll by my cows all the
time oecau gave them all they would
eat of early cut hay but the hay had
old. By feeding with green hay. and
some oil meal and shorts, the milk which
had before made l2o pounds of cheese,
now made 1870. In the summer and tail
of 1871, had occasion to make some eS
act tests ot the value of the milk OF the
different patrons OF cheese factories.
will let one of these tests speak for itself:

basins, and with this kit" went to

TILED the per cent glass to the top of the
scale, and turned the milk of each into
separate tin basins. which set In q vat

they fioated till the milk was all in. The
samples were then all of the SAME tenn
p-ra,ure. The little graduated glass
was then brought into use, and an exac;
quantity Of rehnct was applied to each.
1t occasioned d little disappointment to
see that they did not ali coagulats exact

all become PERFECTLY curdlsd, the eurd

ed that each sample should be weighed

The FARMER Is kING-We have but
to consult the returns of tho last census
to prove clearly that tho cultivators OF
the soil are the controlling power of the
republic. In the light of the census
tables. let us compare agriculture with
manufacturers, the two chief American
industries. The Importance of the facts
is sufficient to relieve them on the charge
of dullness always brought against sta
tistic,s. We shall deal mainly IN round
numbers.
In 1870 the male population in the
Union ten years OF age, was Ia ,O00, 900.
OF these 100000 We're engaged in ag-
riculture, while only 100 900 were EN-
ployed in manufactures. That ia nearly
three ee-seyenths of the males over ten
years of age were agricuturaists. while

A CURIOUS PEAR TREE | have
pear tree called the "Martyr Pear" 1t
is of great size, and aged. The ground
it occupies once formed part of aaenclos-
ed garden to an ancient monastic build
ing. which was probably erected in the
18th century and occupied by the monks
of that period This tree, however,
must have been planted at much later
date, when the land adjacent formed
part of Windsor Great Forest. The fruit
is four inches long, and about two and
half inches in diameter, rough coated
with t;nge of green and pink. dark red
inside, and fine flavor. When fairly
divided down the center, the pips may be
seen to bleed, and have the appearance
of martyr from whence it derives its
name.-THOMAs G OSBORN, langley
Park, Gultord, in Science Gossip.
QUALITY OF APPLEs.-We have had
occasion to observe, during the present
fall and winter, the great difficulty Of
getting good apple. Greening. Bald
win, Belleflowcr and others, have an
unpleasant acidity we have never known
before The saacharine element seems
undeveloped, and they are acid enough
to set ones teeth on edge. We find this
also to be the general complaint. The
only ripe and perfect apple we have
eaten this season is 20 ounce pippin.
There must be Il cause for this, which
we take to be the extensively pervading
drouth which checked ripening, and
sometimes, perhaps, caused fruit to drop
before maturity. The drouth of the lat
ter part of 1874 was more general over
the United States than any we rccollect
Ii of course affected orchards and the
proper maturing of fruits. The only
preventive would appear to be mulch
ing. This is practicable for Il few
trees, but might be difficult for whole
orchards.
WUHCH SHALL RULE-NINE-TE TENTHs
OR ONE E-TENTII.-About one half of our
population belong to the farm ng class
About one-quarter OF our population be
long the mechanic class. And about
fifteen per cent. OF our population are
laborers who make their living bv their
muscle. Has any one ever asked himself
how much legislation is done by this
ninety per cent. OF our population? IS
it not potent fact that they have scarce
ly any influence in our natioual legisla-
ton? The truth is, the Legislation OF the
country is shaped and controlled 10y less
than one-tcnth Of the population. 1t is
made in the interest OF capital, instead
OF tie interest OF the people. And this
is the reason there is SO much sutf ring
among The industrial classes to-day.
There has mover been such Il concentra
ton OF capital going on rs within the
past lew years, and u concentration OF
capital brings concentration OF law
making power. Capital has got the peo-
pie within its tolls. Can they release
themselves? This is an i'm ortant ques-
ton, This must form great political
issue. Ii one-tenth OF the people are to
govern pine-tenths, and make them sub
servient to their peculiar interests. it is
time we were awakening to that fact. 1t

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.-The Pat
rons of Husbandry have issued the fol-
lowing circular to the school patrons of
Hennepin county:
REDUCED RATES.
The undersigned, q committee ap-
pointed by the Patrons of Husbandry, of
Hennepin county, would respectfully
represent to all patrons of the public
schools of said county, that they have
made arrangement, by which, with the
cooperation of the school boards and
the people, complete unitormaly of school
books may be secured tor the county, at
greatly reduced rates, not only for the
first introduction, but also for continu-
Gus supply.
This reduction or saving is about thir-
ty per cent. of the retail price.
The list of books selected, and which
we most heartily recommend for adop-
ton by the school boards, is to a large
extent the same as that in use in the
public schools of the city of Minneapolis
The books we recommended we be-
lieve to be superior in quality, general
style, illustrations and Typography, to
any heretofore used in our schools. while
the prices are very much less, even at
full retail rates but an arrangement has
been made by which Il reduction IN the
price of iu'ure supplies may inure to
each and every purchaser.
ECONOMICAL AND PRUDENT.
We earnestly and confidently commend
these books and the whole arrln pe-
! ment. to all the friends and patrons of
our schools, us the most economica and
pruden- one ever offered them. and we
would mos respectfully urge each and
every board of trustees in the county to
take Immediate action, and adopt the list
recommended. BY Il united action We
shall secure n uniform series throughout
the county, and save hundreds OF dollars
/ in the purchase OF school books, and at
the same time realize all the dyantages
gained by the new and improved meth.

Worth Knowing.


Every little while we read in the papers of
some one who has stuck q nail into his foot,
or knee, or hand, or some other portion ofhis
person, and that lockjaw had resulted there
from, of which the patient died. If every
person in the world was aware of perfect
remedy for all such wounds, and would apply
it, then such reports must cease. But
although we can give the remedy, we cannot
enforce the application. Some will not en-
ploy it because they think it too simple;
others have no faith in it when they read it,
and soon forget it. while others often think
such u wound of small account, and not
worth flushing over, until it is too late to do
any good. Yet all such wounds can be
healed without such fatal consequences as
often follow them. The remedy is simple, al
most at hand, and can be supplied by any
one, and what is better it is lnfallible 1t is
simply to smoke such wound, or any bruise
that's infamed, with burning wool or wooden
cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of
wool viii take the pain out of the wound
and repeated once or twice, it will allay the
the worst case of Inflammation we ever saw
People may sneer at this cold woman's
remedyn as they please, but whep they are
afflicted, Just let them try it. It has saved
many lives and much pain, and is worthy of
being printed in letters of gold and put up in

Speculative Philosophy.

Science has done great deal TO improve
the condition of man, minister to his cOnven-
fence, and facilitate the business exchanges
of the world; but for all that, as far as prac-
teal results are concerned, of many of the
abstruse theorists of the present day, it may
be as truly said as it was of an eminent Bos-
ton thinker, that they are of those "who have
deep divings after the finite and lefty upsoar-
ings for the infinite, but never pay their bills
at maturity =" 1t is not surprising that the
men iniuriously called "Gradgrinds'' look
with profound disfavor upon the laborious
lucubrations Of those who spend their time
rummaging among the apparently unprofta-
bic bones of dead past, or in venturing
with uncertain wings into the domain of
purely speculative thought. So long as our
society needs many things more than theory
and speculative philosophy, we shall be liza
BILE to the criticism that we are 900 utilita-
rian." We want so many actual things
more than we want abstract knowledge, that
we are impatient with the theorists. If the
disciples of science continually stay up in
the clouds, they will never meet the people
who are worrying over the puzzles ofpolihcs,
public morals, daily bread, and self-govern-
ment.
