DEAR SIR-With trembling hand. from my
extreme age, being eighty five, 1 write to
inform you of the great benefit your Golden
Medical Discovery and Pellets have been to
me. Three years ago was prostrated with
pneumonia, and no one thought I would re-
cover. By the use of those medicines was
raised to health. and by the blessing of God
and your medicines 1 have enjoyed pretty
good health since, though for years before
this l suffered from weak lungs and bad
cough. Gratefully yours,

The Mysteries of Chewing Gum.

We have it upon common report, says
the Cincinnati Commercial. that chewing
gum is substance we'll known to the
youthful part OF the community. The
qualities which it possesses at the time
it comes from the confectioner are all
familiar to the youngest of us. 1t Ger
tainly seems a very attractive edible.
The reason for this is not hard to find.
Tank how much eating there is in it in
proportion to actual weight and cash
value. But there is more in chewing
gum than is drcamt of even i'll Juvenile
philosophy. One can easily comprehend
the main ingredients of candy, but who
without being told would suspect that
chewing gum is often only Il refined pro
duct of petroleum? The time was when
the fragrant spruce furnished the most
common material for the purpose. But
this is no longer the case. The reader
familiar with the processes of refining
coal oil is aware that the thick. brown
liquid which comes from the earth. at
one stage of its manufacture, is strained
through heavy linen cloths. The resi-
dunn left after this operation is a dirty.

necessary to describe them now. The
manufacturer of chewing gum purchases
these blocks ready made to his hand,
and at once meltS them down. To two
hundred pounds of wax lie adds about
thirty pounds of sugar and gives the mix

coloring matter. The melted mass is

THE DAIRY,

SowENE is now considered the APP
propriate and classical name for lard,
or hog butter.
In selecting COWS for milking, the
free, easy step, the pleasant and COM
Portable expression of countenance and
the round, capacious form of body are
far more important than the line of de-
scent or the family history.
A COW that is driven a mile, or even
half mile, twice each day, to drink,
will shrink in her milk some twenty to
twenty-five per cent, and hence it is
manifestly more economical to bring
water to the COW than to drive the cow
to water.
THE officers of the International
Dairy Fair association met in New
York a few days ago and decided
that it would be inexpedient to hold a
fair this fall, because of the Presiden-
tial election and because it would be
impracticable to raise $4,000 from the
trade to pay premiums.
How TO TEST DAIRY Cows.-There
is no difficulty in establishing the char
acter and value of each COW in dairy.
The method usually followed is to weigh
each cows milk upon spring scale as
soon as it is drawn and before it is
poured out of the pail into the general
receptacle. The weight is noted down
on a slate or board under the cows
name and against the date. One weeks
trial is sufficient for each month, SO as
to get fair average through the year.
For a butter test each cows milk
may be set separately in pans of differ
erent size or form from the others and
churned by itself; this will give the
yield of butter for certain quantity of
milk. Generally when one begins a
habit of keeping accounts in the dairy
in this way it is continued and is found
a valuable help in making dairy profit
able, for it is check on feeding, wat
ering and otherwise caring for the cows
and when falling off or increase is
noticed one Immediately becomes anx-
ious to find the cause of it, and thus
much valuable information is gathered.

Butter-Making in Denmark and Sweden.

CORK butter ranks high in the London
market and forms standard for judy
ing other makes. But the product of
the diaries of Denmark and Sweden
fairly outranks it, and sells in the same
market for about twenty three per cent.
higher price. This great superiority
Canon Bagot, who has taken pains to
investigate the subject, ascribes to the
careful education of the dairy-maids,
which has been systematically pursued
in Denmark for the past fifteen or six
teen years. We find the following
synopsis of his observations in The Pop
uI0r Science Monthly:
In Sweden the dairy-maids are sent TO
a college and educated in dairy man.
agement for six months, at the end of
which time they receive certificates and
are considered competent to work in
large diaries. Their instructions are
very definite as to every feature of the
operation of butter-making, including
the quality of the salt and the coloring
matter, and the food of the cattle; the
quality of the butter is consequently
uniform. A part of a lot of Cork butter
may sometimes be sent back by the
wholesale dealer because it is not equal
to the rest, but this is said never to hap
pen with Danish butter. The selection
of the cows and the feeding of them are
the first important points in the bust
ness. The Danish dairymen keep their
cows tethered during the summer in
"splendid Glove and rye grass" and
feed them in winter exclusively with
clover hay, linseed cake and rape cake.
The milk is set in such way that the
cream shall be got off while it is still
perfectly sweet, for they will not churn
if it is in any other condition. The
proper temperature for churning, which
is from fifty to sixty degrees, is essen
tial and the churning should not be con-
tinued too long. The best butter-mak-
ers stop churning at the very moment
the butter appears in the form of grains
like shot. They pass off the buttermilk
through strainer, then put the butter
back with water, give it few more
turns in the churn, strain again and re-
peat the operation till the water runs off
as clear and bright as when it is put in.
Salt is added by weight, at the rate of
six pounds of salt to hundred-weight
of butter, by being sprinkled over the
butter after it has been spread out in
layers; a few turns are given the mass
with the butter-worker and the process
is complete.

Heating Milk for Winter Setting.

HEATING the milk of small diaries in
winter is very necessary where the tenn
perature of the milk room is much be-
low sixty degrees, for thin bodies of
milk will raise very little cream with
the temperature at fifty degrees or be-
low. Heating the milk to $50 or 140
degrees will cause nearly all the cream
to rise while the temperature is falling
to fifty degrees. Cream rises faster
while the temperature of the milk is
falling. If heated milk is set six to ten
inches deep, in room at a tempera-
ture of forty-five to fifty degrees, it will
take several hours for the temperature
of the milk to fall ninety degrees. and
the cream will principally rise during
this time. But heating milk in winter
serves other important purposes. Heat
ing is purifying process. 1t drives off
all bad odors or taints it may have taken
from the condition of the fodder or
odors of the stable. All dairymen are
not aware of the danger of tainting the
milk, in winter, from the cows stand
ing in an impure atmosphere, or of eat
ing mouldy fodder, or drinking water
from well that has received the drop
pings of the barn-yard. Heating purifes
the milk from all these taints, or from
a turnip or cabbage flavor. 1t must be
set. however, after heating, in pure
atmosphere. 1t is found, also. that the
cream from heated milk churns much
easier in winter. The cream should be
churned within twenty-four to thirty
six hours after Swimming and should
not stand more than thirty to thirty-six
hours before Swimming. Milk is apt to
become bitter by long standing in win
ter. 1t is supposed that our correspond
ent keeps his cellar clear of vegetables,
as these would so charge the air with
vegetable odors as to faint the cream
and spoil the butter. National LiUe

How Nature Molds Her Living Forms.

What does the story of life upon the
earth teach US concerning the unfold
ment of organic formp Is the human
figure a chance result of an evolution
airy force which might have pursued
the laws of development such as to lead
inevitably toward the form of man as
their highest organic products? This is
question admitting of more definite
answer than may at first thought appear,
as we hope to show by rapid survey
of the various steps of the process.
And, first, it must be borne in mind
that Natures efforts at animal and plant
formation have been on no contracted
scale. The varying forms produced
have been almost multitudinous. They
exist at present in the greatest variety.
But the present is only the apex of a
long succession of life-epochs, each with
its special organic group. We must
multiply the existing forms by thous-
ands of such epochs to obtain any ade-
quate ioea of the whole broad field of
life. Plainly, then, Nature has not
dealt sparsely with the subject, but has
produced most generous profusion of
differing forms. Hence, narrow as is
the field of the earth, there is reason to
believe that the form-evolving principle
has had full opportunity here to act,
and that it has selected out the most
favorable line of development from the
many directions attempted.
Life is an incessant battle-a battle
for food and battle for safety. The
total quantity of food is limited. The
powers of organic increase are unlimit-
ed. Thus tight for food becomes nee
essary; a conflict in which no quarter
is asked and none given. Victory in
clines to the strongest and best armed.
The successful combatant must have
powers of defense against all Natures
attacks and of assault against all Ma
lures defenses. In other words, the
organism best adapted to its environ
ment will win.-C Charles Norris, IN
Popular Science Monthly.
