VAEIATION IN MILK.

Professor Boedeker, withIa view to arrive
at certain results, has analysed the milk OF
a healthy cow at different periods of the
day. The professor found that the solids OF
the evenings milk (l3 per. cent exceeded
those ofthe mornings milk 40 pei, cent?,
While the water contained in the fluid was
diminished from 50 per cent to S6,per cent.
Ihe1fatty matter gradually increases as the
day progresses. In the morning it amounts
TO = per cent, at noon 81 per cent, and in.
the evening 81 per cent. The practical inn
porrtance of this discovery is at once alppar-
ent II It develops the f,ct that while. l6
ounces of mornings milk win yield but halt
an ounce Of butter; about double thu. guam
tlty can be obtained from the evenings
milk. The casein is. also. increased in the
evenings milk from p 70 p per cent, but
the albumen is diminished from 44-l0Oths
pc. cent. to 3l-looths per cent. Sugar IS

MILK AS A SANITARY AGENT.

A Chicago physician who has been invest
eating the value of milk rs a remedy. and
rs d preventative of scarlet fever, gives it as
his opinion that pure milk is not only a
preventive to this disease, but also, a per-
feet untidote therefor. In large cities he rec
omnlcnds the use Of condensed milk for this
very proper reason: There is so much swill
milk sold that the difficulty is to know
when the article is pure. 1t is a notorious
fact, and in Chicago especially so, where ex-
tensive distilleries abound, that the poor
are largely supplied with this abominable
stuff, filled with disease germs. The neigh
borhoods where this milk is distributed are
the hot beds, of disease. If there is any
doubt Of this fact, visit the yards in the vi
entity Of Chicago, especially the North Side,
where the slop is fed.
3D. That pure milk is one Of the best.ali-
ments, either. rs nourishment, or in a sani-
tary point of view there is no doubt. That
it has proved valuable as an agent in a large
number of diseases Is no less true. Never
thelessy there are feW-mediums- SO srsce,Jt;-
BILE to organic change, or to contamination
from feating germs In the country where
pure milk may be had, if the farmer be. care
FIJI about the water his animals drink, and
the premises are kept4 clean, it is one of the
most healthful foods that can be used. In
-cities-it Is always safe to~boil it before using.
and keep it. covered from contact by flies.
We believe that city authorities are not
sincere in their efforts to stamp out the ven

STOCK ITEMS.

The thoughtful sheep owner will see to it
that the noses OF his sheep are besmeareu
with tar to keep away the gad-1y.
The droves of Texas cattle which have
thus far arrived at Omaha, New, for ship
ment to other points, number $4,000 head
and 5000 head are yet to arrive.
LII Colorado this years assessment returns
show 45O ,00Oh ead OF cattle, valued atpl ,C0O,-
600. The number of cattle shipped to east
crn markets the past season was 1000 car
loads, or over CO. 900 head, added to which
were some 10000 dressed beeves. The wool
clip of the seven principal counties footed
up l $50, 900 pounds, worth S47l,25O.
The Willamette Farmer says: In the
Oregon State census taken in 1875, the num-
Der of sheep in the State was given as $780,
600, and the wool clip of that year at a trifle
less than 1000. 600 pounds. With two sue
cesstul years since that time and the usual
increase, the number OF sheep should now
be very nearly 1000, 900, and the wool clip
Of the present year considerable over 3,OO0,-
600 pounds. " "4 Nv.
The Texas breeders of live stock own in
cattle alone 100000 head, besides Il very
large number of horses and mules, and have
GS2, 900 acres of enclosed pasturage. In 1870
the statistics showed that the State con-
tanned 424.o O4 horses, 81, 1922 mules and asses
42S, 04S mich cows, 1872, 400 oxen, and $685.
045 other cattle for all the owners in the
State, only 2,4G9, 600 more than are now
owned by ten men alone. .

life in certain animals is translated from an

HOW TO CAURN. p
A paper which has its thousands OF reao-
ers among every class III the community,
sl,orld furnish information suitable to every
condition.. The skilled dairyman is III pos
session of nearly all the information at pres
emf atrainable with regard to his special aN-
%ocation, and no journal has been more
prompt than this in supplying him with III
tellicence Of every fresh discovery or III
vention connected, in amy way, with MS
business. There are thousands, however,
of our subscribers scattered throughout eV-
cry State in the Union, who possess only 4
single COW or ut most a few, and to whom
hints that would be supertlons to the regt-
lar dairyman, will often prove useful and
profitable. Churning cream properly is an
occupation for which every one robnst
enough, is apt to think himself entirely
qualified, yet we fully agree with the SeIem-
tifc Farmer, that doing this so as to pro-
duce good butter, is not SO simple a process
as come may think. -.-
1t must be churned at the proper time
and at the proper temperature, and the
churn should te stopped as soon as the
cream has broken, but before the butter has
gathered in large balls. In warm weather
it is of great importance to watch the pro-
cess closely, and to notice just when this
change is to take place. At this time add
enough cold water (not ice) to reduce the
temperature Of the mass to about titty-siN
or tifty-eight degrees, aud then complete
the churning, which will be as soon us the
butter is in a %granulated form, with parti-
cles about the size of peas. Then draw Oft
the buttcrlnilk and dish in cold water, re-
peating the washing until the water drawn
off appears clear. Now, take out a layer OF
butter into the tray, and sprinkle on finely
sifted salt, at the rate of about an ounce OF
salt to the pound (more or less as consum-
ers may Wish.) Then take out another lay
ger of butter and salt as before. After the
butter is sllted, set it away for about three
hours for it ito take salt ;" and $ harden
the grain Now work it a little with u
wooden paddle, and set it away again until
the mex day, when it will need but little
working before preparing it for market. p
BY handling in this way you will get a
clean, bright article, with a perfect or I'M
broken grain, which will keep sweet wheth-
er consumed Immediately or packed down
for future marketing. II the butter is soft
and white, it is from Il lack of proper cooling
before chulning and it may be hardened by
putting in about three times tile usual
amount of salt, and working it a little tor
two or three mornings, Many Of our very
best dairymen, and buttellnakers Of Phlla-
delphia gilt-edged butter, use from two to
three ounces of salt to five pounds Of butter.
In this case the salt is usually added at the
final working, and, Of course, all remains in
the butter.-Rarul Neao Yo1ker.oa lxf s.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
From Factory TO Farm.


There are in this country alone 100, 900
planing-machines, which, when in operation,
do the work of 100000 carpenters showing
laboriously the old-fashioned plane; for one
of these machines will turn out Just as much
per diem as 100 skilled men. The number of
sewiDg-machines in the country is about
1000 OOn capable of performing the work of
10O, OO0, 900 sewing girls operating with nee
die and thread by hand, and single factory
IN Massachusetts, averages the production of
5000 pairs of boots and shoes daily through
out the year. When running full. the 1900
600 cotton spindles of Fall River manufac-
ture more yarn in one day than 5000, 900
persons could do in the same time, the latter
operating with the old-time spinning wheel.
To issue 100000 copies of a newspaper daily,
using the appliances of so years ago, would
require the making up Of $50 ''forms" and
services of 1000 compositors and 1000 press
men, mixers, &c. All this p1akes clothing
and houses and reading and the other neces-
saries of life cheap, but it has reduced the de-
mand for skilled mechanical labor to a niece
fraction of what it would haue been had the
'human machine been left to do the worlds
work alone. And now the country must
shape its studies and its labors to meet the
changed condition of things. The young
man who stands upon the threshold of life
querying what he shall do, finds the profess
sions full, the stores and exchanges swarm
ing with bankrupts, and the way to the fac
tories and shops shops crowded with idlers
who only want an opportunity to work.
But the fields are not full. If our counters
are filled with goods for which there is no de-
mand and our cities are full of houses for
which there are no tenants, there is no glut
of food in any of our markets, and there is a
call for all that the labor can coax from the
earth, land for everything the intelligent work
mancansgather from the soil. There is one in
dustry which is not full. New Hampshire,
which passes for an agricultural State, pro-
duces but three-fourths of the food she con-
sumes, and leaves thousands of acres of her
soil to grow up to the bushes or to return
less than half the crops they should. And
while doing this, merchants stay behind their
counters until the Sheriff locks the door,
mechanics stand about the street-corners and
complain because they can get no work, and
young men grow into chronic loafers because
they can't ''fnd an opening" And what is
true of our state is true of others. Isn't it
about time there was a new departure, a
turning from the factory to the field, from
complaining and suffering idleness to cheer
full, earnest, food producing work on the
farmb Mirror and Farmer.
