The popularity Of the Chicago, Burlington

The popularity OF the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad as passenger route has,
no doubt, been greatly enhanced during the
last few years OIL account Of the excellence
Of Its dining-cars. The Burlington was one
Of the first roads in the country to introduce
the popular system of dining its passengers
on the trains while at full speed, and It has
since been initiated by number OF other
roads. They all find the system highly
dining cars, for money is lost on them, but
on account Of the Increased patronage they
secure. Dining-ca have proved the best
kind OF advertisement, far more than the ex-
pensivs 1R2}s. posters, pamphlets, aI,, etc, which

to travel hns suffered from the yillainous
food served at most Of the dining stations,
not speaking at all Of the Inconvenience OF

OF ''all aboard" caused general stan,-

might be disastrous. The collapse Of spcculu-

Cleanse Immediately.

THERE is good fraction of the sue
cess in butter-making dependent on the
proper cleaning of dairy utensils. Some
appear to think it will do just as we'll to
wait few hours before the milk-pails
are washed and scaldel that the churn
may stand half or whole day before
being washed and the germs of decay
killed by heat that the cream-pail may
be used for several patches of cream be-
fore thorough cleansing, because sweet
cream is going into it again that the
butter-worker may stand until you want
to use it again before scalding, because
it will be then freshly cleansed when
you use it, etc.
There is altogether too much of this
needless way of carrying on butter
making. The nitrogenous portion of
milk (casein) furnishes Just the sub
stance required for ferments, for the de-
velopment of germs wholly inimical to
pure milk or butter These ferments
remain in the crevices of wood, or the
seams of tin vessels, and unless they
are dislodged by immediate cleansing,
it requires boiling OF steaming for CON
siderable length of time to dislodge
them. Every utensil, after each use,
must be Immediately cleansed if you
wish to prevent tain's in your milk,
cream or butter Wooden pals are now
discarded from use by the patrons of
cheese factories, because they cannot
be trusted to properly cleanse them.
If they were Immediately subjected
to steam heat or boiling water after each
use, they would be sweet, but this steam
or boiling water requires to penetrate
every pore. The dairymaid or operator
cannot be too prompt in cleansing dairy
utensils. .-NatiOnat Lice Stock Journal.

Abductlng q CaN

Recently two of Mr.. Dufly's ne 'ghbors
determined to abduct pet calf belong
ing to that gentleman and Mr.. Duffy
became aware of their scheme. There
fore he quietly removed the calf from
the box-stall in which It was confined
and in place of IL, introduced goat of
the VIM. gender and of very vicious
disposition. He also fixed II spring on
the door of the stall, that would cause
1t TO close unless held open and he also
attached to the doora spring-lock that
would fasten, and could only be un-
fastened from the outside. Then he
went to bed but not to sleep. 1t was at
the witching hour of midnight that the
two marauders entered Mr.. Duffy's
barn. They had examined the prem
ises the day before and knew exactly
where to go. Each of them carried a
dark lantern. They entered the stall
and the door closed behind them.
Everything was still. One of them
opened the slide to his lantern. Then
there was clatter of hoofs and the man
with the lantern found himself piled up
in a corner very much surprised He
thought it was the queerest calf he
ever had met. Then the other man
opened the slide to his lantern to see
what the matter was and the next
instant the breath went out of him with
a "yah' that made the listening Duffy
laugh all over. Then all was still again
except the faint profanity of the men
and finally the man who was hit first
recovered enough to paw around and
find his lantern. 1t was extinguished
but he got out match and lighted it
again. Then he turned the bulls eye
toward the goat and he went into the
corner again. The goats blood then
being aroused, he didn't wait for fur
ther lights, but began to butt around
promiscuously and the robbers con-
cluded it was time to get out. But
that didn't prove so easily done. Then
they began to yell for help and Mr..
Duffy could tell when the goat hit them
because instead of yelling "helpm they
cried "Or' and after he had laughed till
his sides ached, he went and let them
out on condition that they wouldn't try
to carry off the goat and when they
stepped out of the barn, he jumped and
stamped and yelled that the goat was
after them and they screamed "mur-
der'' and ran three miles down the road
before they stopped for breath. Duffy
still keeps the calf Boston Post.

Cooking Food.

Late-cut hay, ordinary straw, and
other coarse folders are unquestionably
improved by cooking, as it softens the
woody fibre and dissolves portions of
the starch; and corn meal and other
foods rich in starch are also improved
by cooking. But in considering the
question of economy, it is easy to see
that, although it will pay on large
scale, it is not likely to do so for few
animals, for it costs nearly as much to
cook for ten as for fifty head of cattle
Grinding renders all our cereal grains
more digestible, by reducing the size of
the particles to be saturated and di-
gested by the gastric juice. The whole
kernals of corn are not always fully
penetrated by the gastric juice, and
hence many of them pass cattle undi-
gested. When corn is ground, it should
be mixed with coarse fodder, so as to
prevent its adhering in mass in the
stomach and to insure its remastication
and insalivation. National Lire Stock
