Testing Milk.

a system of testing milk, either for
impurities or dilution, has been devised
by dairyman in Allegany county, of
which we have the following descrip-
ton from correspondent of the Coun-
try Gentleman
1t consists of a series of small cups ar
ranged in n water-bath or receptacle, so
that the contents of the watts may be
heated either by steam or water. AS
the milk comes to the factory, a given
quantity is taken from each patrons
can and heated in these cups until a
temperature of about 800 Fab. is reach
ed. At this temperature it is found by
practical experiment, that the smell of
garlic, putridity, fever or disease of the
udder will each Enthusiastically manifest
itself by developing the particular odor
which characterizes each of these i'm
purities. Whenever milk is found to
be unsound, it may be rejected so as not
to leaven the whole vat of good milk
with which it comes in contact, and at
the same time the cause of the impuri-
ties can be made the subject of nvesti-
cation.
If the milk shows 10 signs of being
unsound or in bad condition, but is
suspected of being skinned or diluted
with water, the sample in each cup is
coagulated by adding rennet, the curd
compressed to expel the whey, and the
curd then weighed. BY knowing the
standard weight of the curd of a given
quantity of milk, and comparing il
with the sample tested, the variation
shows the amount of water which has
been added, or to what extent it has
been skinned and the percentage may
be deducted from such patrons milk.
Thus the difficulty heretofore en-
countered by adding sugar, salt, or any
other ingredient, to increase the speci.
fic gravity of watered milk, or by add
ing water to skinned milk two points
in which the lactometer entirely fails,
and which could be detected only by q
thorough chemical analysis), is wholly
obvlated, and dishonest patrons cannot
escape detection in their fraudulent
practices. Experiments with the above
tester" have revealed not only putrid-
ity, but milk that has been skinned
other samples that have been watered,
I with sugar and annatto added.

Ed. EAGLE; 1t may DO interesting to some
OF your readers to know that farmers north
east of the city, land elsewhere beleve,) are
not unmindful OF the hard lesson they learned
last year, nor needless of tho many well-in-
tended hints which accompanied contributions
for their relief; and the time has now come
when they seem unanimously resolved to dis
charge well-known, though hitherto neg
lccted duty, in protecting themselves against
the wanton slaughter of chickens, which
Providence has beautifully bestowed upon
western farmers to cheek the ravages of grass
hoppers, and mitigate locust scourges. Farm
ers are practical If not theoretical, ard though
they trouble themselves little with abstruse
calculations, they are expert at the four first
rules, especially the first and third. BY these
they lind that chicken which eats about 100
grasshopic rs daily, destroys about $4,000 of
them before they begin to deposit their eggs
in tho fall aud if, as "bugologistsr tell us,
each hopper lays an average OF about 5000
eggs, then each chicken would this year de-
stroy GO,00o,000 of next years grasshoppers,
and consequently the vast numbers of chick
ems annually slaughtered by professional gun
ners and sportsmen, who ought to be in bet
ter business, would be sufficient to destroy
such numbers as Pref. Tice himself could not
calculate--such numbers as no repetition of
eur limited number of figures is capable of
expressing: but, as we can easily guess, quite
all the grasshoppers ana locusts from here TO
the Rocky Mountains and as far beyond, to-
gether with myriacs of other voracious tribes
which every year mock the patient farmers
toll. In this determination to protect their
protectors, farmers are considerably influenced
by being continually oyerrun by hunters who
have no respect for game laws and little sense
OF propriety in them, some even possessed of
effrontery enough to ride over hedges and
hedge rows, and around peoples gardens
shooting barn-yard fowls, chickens, ducks and
turkeys. alike. This, Of course, is done only
when there happens to be nobody around
1t may seem incredible, but is nevertheless
strictly true and the perpetrators or suspected
ones, are watched for.
Ii you can lind place for this in your COL
umns it may do some good by serving as
hint to gunners that farmers will no longer
passively endure it. n, N.

Another lamp explosion this week. This
time at the bath rooms. That old bell was
jingled and jammed withoutmethod or reason.
Why it is that it can't be rung properly, or,
at least in such way as TO indicate the ward,
seems strange. Whoever reaches the bell first
should give the regular fire alarm cnergetical-
ly for the space of fifteen or twenty seconds,
then pause for three seconds, then strike the
number of the ward slowly and distinctly.
Repeat the alarm and then the number, until
everybody hears and knows the place. From
the alarm given Tuesday night, no one could
tell where the fire was. There was no damage
done by the fire.
