Ice and W0ter.-A cubic foot of Ice
contains about one-eleventh less water
than a cubic foot of water. Water Is
composed of one volume of oxygen to
two of hydrogen, or by weight eight
parts OF the former to one OF the latter
These expand when freezing TO ill the
same space with less weight. Water
below the temperature of its greatest
density is an exception to the general
law Of expansion By heat and contrac-
ton by cold. But for this wise provis-
ion of the Great Lawgiver, the rivers,
or even the ocean. would be frozen
solid, and the earth would be uninhabi-
table. Water continues TO contract by
the application OF cold until il touches
80 . deg. Fahr., when the law Is re-
versed. and from that point it expands
and goes on expanding under whatever
reduction of temperature. This Is the
reason why crockery and even iron
vessels are broken by the freezing OF
water in them. The expansive force of
confined water at and below the freez-
ing poirt is something tremendous, and

gunpowder.

AGRICULTURE.

TESTING Cows FOR THE BUTTER
DAIRY.-Il the object OF the dairy is TO
produce butter. then each COW must be
tested for yield ard quality of butter.
This can only be done Ia any proper
effect by churning each COWS cream for
at least one week, keeping also the
weight of her milk. The percentage
of cream is not a reliable test; as from
the same cows NJ one time IL lbs. oil
cream will produce pound OF butter,
and at another, Abs, OF cream are re-
quired. Only actual churning of cream
can determine the yield of butter. In
selecting herd wholly for butter, 1t is
hardly worth while To keep COW OF
whose milk il requires more than 20
lbs. for one of butter Ii is also OBJ
iectionable if the butter should be
light. colored; but il the quantity and
quality are otherwise satisfactory, 1t Is
better 10 retain her, for the color Is
easily remedied. These individual tests
for butter are as well made during the
first month after coming in: for as the
season is then usually cool, the milk OF
each cow can more easily De handed
separately. In testing for butter.
COW that ought TO be discarded in
cheese dairy might be quite worthy of
being retained in a butter dairy. One
cow may produce more butter from
1000 lbs. OF milk than another fr.m
5000 lbs, and each of these COWS
should be put in her proper place. a
cow is not worthy of a place in butter
dairy that does not yield 20Olbs. of but
ter per year; and the aim shoild be
TO reach 800 lbs. 4 COW. One had
much better keep 10 cows that produce
; 1000 lbs. of butter, than keep 10 cows
TO reach the same amount. Almost
every dairyman, by proper tests will
find some of his cows that ought TO be
disposed of, as Improbable for one
branch or the other of dairying.
There should be no hesitation when he
learns the facts; for an Improbable
COW only adds to the labor, and de-
ducts from the profits.

SALT As FERTILIZER There Is
wide difference of opinion among
farmers as to the value OF salt when APP
piled To the land as as a fertilizer.
This diversity OF opinion renders all
light on the subject, a necessity. One
farmer recently in speaking OF II,
SAID that it could not be used TO ad-
vantage, unless refuse or cheap lots
were purchased. Another, equally
practical, says that he has used it freely
and with profit. Some complain that il
kills the grass when applied TO grass
land. A writer says: NV experience
i'm the use of salt leads me TO the fol-
lowing conclusions: Ii keeps the land
cool and moist. Ii neutralIzes drouth.
It eXtermlnates all soil yermin. Ii
prevents potato rot. il glazes and
stiffens straw, preventing crinkiing
and rust. lt keeps the ground In such
condition that the berry of all kinds of
grain fills plumply, however long
continued the hot and dry weather
may be. This same gentleman argues
that these results will not be obtained
bv the use of handful; it must be lib
orally applied. He applies barrel TO
an acre on his meadows and would
sooner double the dose than apply less.
