The secret OF Good Butter.

The Practical Farmer says it is admitted
by butter-makers OF extensive experience
that impurities and noxious odors in the
atmosphere where cream is rising will in
lure the flavor of the butter. Y. A. Will
lard writes on this subject that "when
mixers are allowed to come direct from
the stable TO the milk room, it is impossi-
BILE 10 keep the latter place sweet for the
time being"
There are hundreds Of butter makers,
we are aware, OH whom the importance OF
this single point cannot be too strongly ur-
ged, since they consider many little things
of this kind in regard TO dairy manage
ment too Insignificant 10 merit attention.
But in butter-making the observance of
little things is oflen the great secret OF sue
cess.
There is no doubt that immense quanti-
ties of poor butler are made from tho milk
set in improper places. The kitchen pan
try, the living room and the cellar used to
store vegetables and other family supplies,
will impart peculiar taints to the milk and
cream, in such degree as TO be destruc-
tive TO flavor, even though the butter in
other respects be skillfully handled. Dali
ry rooms so situated as to catch the odor
from the pig-sty, the cess pool, or other
decomposing filth, cannot be used for max
ing good and sweet butter. There should
DO freedom from filth and impurities Of
every description about the milkhouse,
and the milk should be delivered by the
mixers in an ante room, or some point
outside the milk-room, and from thence
conveyed to the place where it is to be set
for cream. In this way the fumes and the
litter from the stable may be kept from
the milk-rOom.
The causes of poor butter are various,
the most important OF which are lack of
cleanliness, the want of proper dairy uten-
sils, the need OF a good dairy room or place
for setting the milk, neglect in manipula-
ting the cream at the right time, unskillful
working, packing, and storing the butter,
and finally, lack of knowledge in part or
whole of the process required for making
prime article.

wherein It was glazed. The china closet
should lie in dry situation, as a damp
closet will soon tarnish the gliding Of the
best crockery. In common dinner SER
vice 1t is a great evil to make the plates too
hot, as IL invariably cracks the glaze on the
surface, If not the plate ITSELF We all
know the result. 1t comes apart, Nobody
broke II 1" at was cracked before, or crack
ed a long time ago." The fact is that when
the glaze is injured, every time the
"things" arc washed, the water gets 10 the
interior, swells the porous clay and makes
the whole fabric rotten. In this condition
they will also absorb grease; and when ex-
posed to further heat the grease makes the
dishes brown and discolore1. If an old ILL
used dish be made very hot indeed, tea
spoonful of fat will be seen TO exude from
the minute assures upon its surface. These
latter remarks apply more particularly TO
common wares. As rule, warm water
and soft cloth are all that is required TO
keep glass in good condition; but water
bottles and wine decanters, in order to
keep them bright, must he rinsed out with
little muriatic acid, which is the best
substance for removing the "fur" which
collects in them. This acid is far better
than ashes, sand or shot for the ashes and
sand scratch the glass, aud II any shot is
left in by accident the lead is poisonous.
Richly cut glass must be cleansed and pol
ished with a soft brush, upon which a very
little fine chalk or whiting is put by this
means the luster and brilliancy are pre-
served.-BoSton Journal of Chemistry.

PRACTICAL RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC Dis
covERY.-As sciences advance, their es-
sential unity becomes more and more evil
dent methods that at first view would
seem utterly unconnected are being con-
stantly found to have a secret and helpful
family tie. The comparative value Of va
rious types of bridges has been investiga-
ted by submitting glass models duly
weighted 10 polarized light, which shows
at once the distributions of strain and
pressure. A common magnetic needle has
been successfully employed in finding
weak places in iron and steel axles by its
unequal detection at such points, due to
internal heterogeneity in the mass examin-
ed. At Paris recently an underground
pneumatic tube became obstructed at an
unknown point; excavation was correctly
guided by the adoption OF an acoustic prin-
ciple; loud sound was made at the tubes
entrance, and the time occupied before the
reflected wave returned was carefully no.
ted, from which was inferred the distance
traversed by 1t TO and from the obstacle.
Many instruments at first made for purely
philosophical study have been drafted into
the worlds practical uses. Applications
of the rheos.at and Wheatstone's bridge
serve 10 locate the ofl-recurring breaks in
ocean-cables and telegraph-lines, and have
very lately yielded the marvellous duplex
and quadruplex telegraphs. The spectre
scope, originally directed to the heavens,
has now found uses on earth of great val
ne; it detects aduteration, marks defect
iveness in drainage, and points out impu-
rifles in water-supplies. Popular Science

ANEsTHEsIA.-The successful applica-
ton of anesthesia by the inhalation of
ether, or etherization in surgery, was first
demonstrated in Boston. in 1916. The first
application in operative midwifery was also
made 10 Boston, in 1917. Chloroform,
which was speedily to considerable ex-
tent substituted for sulphuric ether as the
anesthetic agent, was introduced by Simp-
son, of Edinburgh, shortly after the dis
covery of etLerizatioh. II is needless to
dilate on the inestimable boon which anms-
thesia, in its various useful applications,
has conferred on mankind. The annihila-
ton of pain was SO obviously such great
blessing that almost the only questions ev-
er raised in opposition have related to the
impossibility of absolute security against
the occasional loss of life from the an@S-
thetic agent. or the two anesthetic agents,
ether and chloroform, the latter has teen
generally employed in Europe, and also 10
a considerable extent in this country. A
combination of the two agents is some
times employed. The danger TO life is I'M
doubleday greater from choroform than
ether, but the administration of the latter
is moro difficult, and the inhalation is often
disagreeable; these are the reasons for the
preference given so largely TO the former
The danger from ether is almost nil, and
that from chloroform is exceedingly small.
Thus, at Guys Hospital, London, chloro-
form had been used in more than 1000
cases before any serious accident occurred,
and in the CrimeSn war II was administer
ed more than $1,000 times without a single

To COLOR BRowN.-A writer in the
Maine Farmer gives this recipe for color
ing brown: Steep hot, but not boil, one
half bushel butternut bark, until the
strength is out. Then steep the goods one
hour and air then put in and steep one
half hour and let them cool. Add one
ounce OF eopperas to the liquor and bring
it to boil. II not dark enough use more
copperas. Various shades may be pro-
duced in this dye by varying the bark and
copperas. One part butternut and one part
walnut bark answers well for brown.
The above is for four pounds OF goods.
Here is another recipe from the same pa
per: The scaly moss from rocks aud
lodges Is a good material for coloring
brown. Gather the moss aud put it in a
brass kettle or tin dish, upon which pour
cold water, then let it boil on the stove
three or four hours. Then skim out the
moss, put In the goods, and boil until you
have the requisite color. 1t will never
fade.

Potatoes for Horses.

1 once came near losing a very valuable
horse from feeding him dry bay and oats
with nothing loosening. 1 have never be-
lieved in dosing horse with medicine, but
something is actually necessary TO keep a
horse in the right condition. Many use
powders, but potatoes are better, and safer,
and cheaper, If fed judiciously. II those
who are not in the habit of feeding potatoes
to horses, will try them, they will be as
tonshed at the result. l have known a
horse changed from lazy, dumpish one,
10 quick, active, headstrong animal, in
five days, by simply adding two quarts OF
potatoes to his feed daily. II very much
clear corn meal is fed, they do not need so
many potatoes. Too many potatoes are
weakening, and so are too many apples.
When was a lad, 1 was away from home
at school one winter, and had the care Of
one horse, one yoke of oxen, and one COW,
every one of which had TO card or curry
every day. The horse had three pals Of
water, four quarts Of oats, two quarts small
potatoes, and two quarts of corn extra ev-
cry day he worked, with what hay be
wanted, and a stronger, and more active
horse, of his inches have never yet seen.
