WATERED MILK.--A German chem
ist furnishes very simple procedure
for testing the amount Of water in
milk, and it can be applied by any
one. All that is required is a small
quantity ofplaster Of Paris, say one
ounce. This is mixed with the milk
to stiff paste and then allowed to
stand. With milk Of l.030 specific
gravity, and a temperature Of 60 de-
grees, it will harden in twenty-four
hours; if twenty-five per cent. of
water is present, in two hours; If fifty
per cent. in one and one-half hours;
and if seventy-fve per cent. in thirty
minutes. Skinned milk. which has
been standing for twenty-four hours,
and is of 1893 specific gravity, sets
in four hours; if it contains fifty per
cent. of water, in one hour; and with
seventy-fve per cent. in thirty min
utes. Heat should not be applied, as
then the use of the thermometer
would be required. The process is
certainly very simple, and not costly.

We cannot see how people at all
familiar with the taste of genuine dai.
ry butter, can be deceived by any
artificial substitute, but. as a guide to
those whose sense Of sight, taste and
smell are deficient, we give a test
both simple and reliable. Persons
familiar with the process of manu-
facturc of oleomaYgarine are aware
that it is subject to heavy pressure
to express all extraneous matter, so
consequently, when ready for sale, it
presents perfectly compact, homo
genous mass. In order to detect the
fictitious take smooth-bladed knife
and cut oleomargarire. 1t presents
where cut a perfectly smooth surface,
while genuine butter, when cut with
a knife, does not present such an ap-
pearance, for you will find water ooz-
ing out and numerous small holes
will appear. With this simple guide
no one with their senses about them
need be deceived.

the sheep is very old when it reaches
the age of ten, the natural limit OF
the term of it's life. After reaching
this age sheep are very likely to be
injured by the slight exposures which
would do young animals no harm.
They are more liable to be attacked
by disease, and if they live they will
be likely to produce less wool and
smaller lambs than they have done
previously. We do not think it
pays, except perhaps in special in
instances. to keep sheep after they
are six or seven years old.-Rurol

How Long to Keep Sheep" :"

There are few animals kept on the
farm which, when in their prime, pay
as well as do sheep, and there are
very few, if any others, upon whom
old age has such u damaging effect.
AS the sheep is much shorter lived
than any other of our domestic ami
mails, it is not strange that many
farmers attempt to keep them too
long. At ten years of age hor:o is
in his prime, and the COW is then as
good as ever, with the prospect of re-
manning so several years longer, but

Value of Bran For Cows.

A foreign journal, in discussing
this subject, says that if a large yield
of milk is desired give your COWS,
every day, water slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred at the
rate of one quart to two quarts Of
water. You will find, if you have
not tried this daily practice, that
your COWS will give Is per cent. more
milk Immediately under the effects
of it, and will become so accustomed
to the diet as to refuse to drink clear
water unless very thirsty.
Prof. J. W. Sanborn, superintend-
ent OF the college farm, Hanover, n.
H., reports experiments in feeding
cows, giving full details Of weights
Of each kind of feed, of milk and but
ter yield, and the weights Of the
animals at the beginning and end Of
each period. In summing up he
says that meal will make more milk
than bran I no longer hesitate to say.
The change in the butter product is
remarkable; in the change from
meal to bran there was loss of IT.
per cent. in the butter-producing ca.
pacity of milk; in changing from bran
to meal there was gain in the but
producing capacity Of milk of 2l
per cent. The result in weighing
the COWS form an exception to pre-
vious experiments, bran and mid
dlings keeping weight better than
meal in this experiment. Is it Il
chance result, asks the professor, or
is it due to well-defned causes? I
will not discuss it. he answers, but
observe that it Was not at the season

Feeding Hogs and Pigs.

An Iowa farmer put up 20. one-year
old hogs, and for the first % days he
fed them on dry shelled corn, of
which they ate SO bushels, and gained
837 pounds, or little over 10 pounds
to bushel of the corn. He then fed
the same hogs for II days on dry corn
meal, during which time they con-
sumed II bushels, gaining in that
time 553 pounds, or nearly IL pounds
to the bushel. The same hogs were
then fed ii days on corn meal and
water mixed, and consumed about IS
bushels of corn. and they gained 73l
pounds, or over Is pounds to the one
bushel of corn. He then fed them
for IA days on corn meal that was
cooked, and after consuming about
AZ bushels of the cooked meal, they
had gained 900 pounds, nearly Is
pounds to the bushel of meal.
An experienced Canadian says that
young pigs should never be fed on
very strong, concentrated food, such
as corn in the shape Of meal, or any
other grain alone. Give milk, if OBJ
tainable, or a mixture of water with
equal proportions of bran, shorts, and
boiled potatoes, or Of other roots or
vegetables, and if the bran or roots
can he scalded so much is it the bet-
ter. If you must feed the corn meal,
mix it sparingly with the vegetable
diet until the pig is four months old
at least. when the grain may be then
increased, but all through the pigs
life he should have plenty of good
roots, either boiled or raw. In short,
feed the pig generously, but not to
excess, with very good, pure, mixed
diet, and there will be neither sick
ness nor want of fertility.
