How Condensed Milk is Made.

The manufacture of condensed milk
is thus described in the Scientific Anaer-
lean: When the milk is brought into
the factory it is carefully strained,
placed in cans or pals, which are put
into tank of water kept hot by steam
coils. When hot it is transferred to
larger steam-heated open vessels and
quickly brought to a boil. This pre-
liminary heating and boiling has for its
object the expulsion of the gases of the
milk, which would cause it to foam
in the vacuum pan, and, also, to add to
the keeping quality of the milk by de-
stroying the mold germs. A second
straining follows, after which the milk
is transferred to vacuum pan, where,
at temperature below 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, it boils and is rapidly con-
centrated to any degree desired. The
vacuum pan employed is a close vessel
Of copper, egg-shaped, about six feet
high and four and one-half feet in di-
ameter. 1t is heated by steam coils
within and by steam jacket without
inclosing the lower portion. In one
side of the dome is small window
through which gas Eliminates the in
Terror, while on the opposite side is an
eyeglass through which the condition of
the contents may be observed. The
pan is also provided with a vacuum
gauge and test sticks. Much of the
milk used in cities is simply concen-
trated without any addition of sugar.
The process of concentration is contin-
ned in the vacuum pan until one gal
Ion of the milk has been reduced to
little less than quart-one volume Of
condensed milk corresponding to about
four and three-tenths volumes of milk.
Condensed milk intended to be pre-
served for any length of time has an adj
dition of pure cane sugar made to it
during the boiling, and is usually put
up in sealed cans. This sugared or
preserved" milk, when. properly pre-
pared, will keep for many years.

The An1erican CuItiUdtor saws there
is world of comfort to be derived from
the use of coal-oil as a cleanser of the
working woman's stained hands.
Household work naturally causes the
skin to roughen and crack; into these
interstices the smut and grim of kettle
washing and stove-blacking often in
sinuate themselves, causing them to
look hardened and unclean after the
most thorough washing with soap and
water No woman, young or old, likes
this, and almost all women object to
the rough grimy look of the hands far
more than to doing of the work itself.
A way to prevent this evil is to fill an
old bowl half full with kerosene oil.
then fill up with water, and when the
hands are discolored and soiled by
rough work, before washing them dip
the fingers in the bowl and rub them in
the usual way, and the darkened skin
will be effectually freed from soil and
Crime; then wash in soap and hot wa
ter until the smell of the oil is removed.
Another new use for coal-oil is in
cleansing recently used paint brushes.
BY soaking the brush in oil it can be
easily cleaned with soap and hot water,
as the paint readily mixes with the oil
and so loosens it that it is readily re-
moved by the application of soft-soap
and water Paint brushes, it is said,
will not harden and dry up if left stand
ing in dish of kerosene OIL A safe
way TO light fire with kerosene oil is
to lay in your kindlings, then place
your wood upon it,. after which turn
into cup, kept for the purpose, one
tablespoonful of oil, and pour it over
the wood and set fire to it with match.
On no account should it be poured from
the can directly into the stove or range,
lest some slumbering spark of fire ignite
the gas and cause an explosion. Chill
dren and ignorant, careless persons
should not be allowed to use it under
any circumstances. Lamps should be
cleaned, filled and trimmed in the
morning, and kept nearly full of oil;
they ought invariably be turned down
before they are blown out.

THE DAIRY.

The specific gravity of pure milk
varies at from 1,027 to 1852. Good
milk weighs about two pounds and
three ounces per quart.
-Dairymen must be intelligent, and
start their business right if they wish to
succeed. Let them start in the house,
that is the place; without neatness in
the house there is no use of feeding in
the stable.
"A correspondent of the New York
World says: Il have found that / make
my best butter when l feed my cows on
white clover and early mown meadow
hay. l cut fine, moisten and mix in
both corn meal and wheaton shorts.
Next to meal l regard shorts, and pre-
fer to mix them together. feed often
and not much at time. | do not use
roots unless it be carrots. My pastures
and meadows are quite free from
weeds. l cannot make good grade
of butter from foul pastures or low
grade hay"
With regard to the blue color some
times acquired by milk, Herr Hansen
says milk becomes blue only before
complete coagulation. Light and heat
have little influence on development of
the pigment bacteria; but access of oXy-
gen is Indispensable. If the surface of
the milk be covered with layer of oil
to keep off the.oxygen, the development
of the blueness is stopped. With the
microscope one finds in milk turning
blue partly mobile bacteria of rod-shape,
rapidly multiplying by division, while
they yield blue matter like aniline.

The Orphan Robins, Foster.Father.


In Rocky Hill a tame male robin is
kept by Mrs. Ryer in cage. He would
come back to the cage, when liberated,
after flying about outdoors. Near by,
in a dwarf pear tree, pair of robins
had a nest The house cat, Just about
the tlme the young robins were Matched,
succeeded in catching and killing the
male bird OF the pair, and day or two
later tne same cat also killed the mother
bird, thus leaving the young birds I'M
provided for. Mrs Ryer took the nest
out OF the tree, and placed it, with its
gaping and hungry little inmates, in
the cage of her tame cock-robin, to-
gether with dish of boiled eggs, as an
experiment. The old bird looked at
them, and apparently thought the mat
ter over in a rejecting mood. Then he
proceeded to feed them little-giving
to each little wide-open throat morsel
of the egg-yelk. Having disposed of
that he flew off on a search for worms,
the young birds natural food. From
that time forward this solitary old bach
elor bird continued very industriously
to forage the gardens thereabouts for
the benefit of those nestlings. These
latter grew apace, and in due time were
big enough to be encouraged to get
outdoors themselves and try their wings.
Whether the old cock-robin after that
taught them by example how to find
and secure worms for themselves in the
sward of the lawn and in the garden
has not been reported but that IN the
case of robins the parent birds do teach
their young that very thing has been
abundantly shown in the writer's OBJ
servation this very summer In the
Rocky Hill case the young robins be-
came able to take care of themselves;
and then their benevolent self-appoint-
ed guardian went back to his cage

he Birds Must Live.

Some very knowing people must
think, Judging from their expressed
opinions, that birds, animals, ETC.. can
live without food. But they are mis-.
taken. Every bird eats enough
all Every bird that comes among
us in the spring to spend the six months
with us gets its board, of some kind,
from our fields, gardens, etc. They are
all more or less injurious and all more
or less beneficial, and the latter, under
all circumstances, fully or more than
compensates for the former. What
they particularly do in the one case or
the other is not always apparent. The
crow has always been denounced bitter
ly and killed, a bounty even being some
times paid for its head; yet we believe
it is of real value to the farmer in the
end. The blackbird (grackle) is espe-
cially disliked, but the hostility to it is
no better founded than against the crow
and many other birds. Last fall we
saw at least seventy-tive of these birds
in a grass plot of ground of not over
half an acre, passing slowly over it de-
vouring the insects by the thousands.
From its location and the shortness of
the grass, which had been pastured, the
insects had gathered there in myriads,
as could be seen from their disturbance
by the steady progress of the feeders.
The young of these birds, which were
at this time fully on the wing, had been
Matched and were then roosting on the
premises of two or three gentlemen
nearly mile off, where all birds are
protected against gunners or otherwise.
and we have yet to hear for the first
time that they desire to get rid of their
guests.
On a visit once to the residence of
one of of these gentlemen, while sitting
upon his piazza toward evening, we saw
no less than five wild yound rabbits run
ming fearlessly about over his lawn.
Knowing that they would gnaw young
trees when the snow interfered with
getting their necessary supply of food,
we inquired whether they were not de-
structive at such times. "Not at all,
was the response. Throughout the
winter they are regularly fed offal veg
etables and hay; and in November and
December, when they become fat, most
of them are trapped and consumed"
The robins, catbirds, bluebirds, etc,
devoured considerable portion of their
strawberries, grapes, etc., and the sew
eral varieties of sparrows eat some
seeds, in season, but they were regard
ed as friends rather than enemies. OBJ
serving farmers, and others of expert
ence, who pay proper attention to these
things, seldom differ in opinion. Ger

When it is well kept there is nothing

alone in prominent position, where its
beauties can be seen to the best advan-

amount as first stated was correct
two millions, How the cashier of

high as that, with board Of direc-
tors composed of business men of
acknowledged capacity, could get
away with two millions of dollars, is
a puzzle to the business public But
he did it, and men who on

independently rich, realized before
the sun went down the
same evening that they were
bankrupt. The stockholders of the
bank were men of wealth, and as
they draw their large semi-annual
dividends upon their stock, congrat-
ulated themselves upon their good
fortune in being members of a gilt
edged institution.
But alas, how evanescent. Their
riches have suddenly taken to them
selves wings and have escaped be
yond the hope of redemption. For
years, dishonest cashier, who was
implicitly trusted by his employers,
has been embezzling the funds
of the institution, and max
ing false entries and committing
forgeries to cover them. When he
could no longer conceal his crime, he
confessed it, and has brought dis
grace upon himself and his innocent
