Plants breathe by their leaves which
should be kept perfectly clean, otherwise
their respiration is interfered with The
mere watering of the roots is not enough.
Plants also perspire by their leaves, and
any accumulation OF dirt and dust retards
this useful function. Plants also feed by
their leaves, by absorbing the carbonic
acid of the atmosphere; and, to speak
familiarity, dirt, destroys both their appe-
tite and digestion. Let anyone examine

The Jersey milking can is of tin,
globular, with a flat bottom and rim
around it. The upper part of the globe is
open, and has ilaring top, which is about
eight inches in diameter at the edge. A
handle, like a pitcher handle, is upon one
side, attached to this tlaring top. When
in use, rather closely woven linen nap
kin is tied over the top, and under the
handle, so that it will sag down into the
can to depth of three inches or so. In
this sag OF the strainer seashell is laid
one of the shells of a scallop being usually
employed The streams of milk strike
into the shell, and the foam soon rises and
nearly fills the strainer; specks of falling
dirt mostly rest upon the top of the foam
Those which are carried down, wash over
the edge of the shell and lie beneath it,
There is no scattering, and the milk is
obtained entirely free from hairs and
specks of dirt, while soluble dirt, which
sometimes falls in, comes as little as pos
sible in contact with the milk Jersey
