Shelter Saves Food:

Every keeper of animals would actu-
ally profit by little study of chemistry
and physiology. Here is short lesson:
All kinds of food, as hay, grain, bread
meat, ETC., are, like wood, mainly COM
posed of charcoal (carbon) and water,
with considerable nitrogen in some of
them. To prove this, strongly heat any
of the above food materials in coal pit,
or better, under glass. Water, with
some nitrogen gas, will be driven off
and can be found in the glass receiver,
while only charcoal will remain. Let in
more air and the charcoal itself will
unite with the oxygen of the atmos-
phere, and also go off as transparent,
invisible carbonic acid gas. This chem
ical action sets at liberty heat that was
before concealed or insensible, the
same as when wood or coal is burned
rapidly in a stove producing an active
fire; or as when wood decays, but gives
off heat so slow as not to be observed.
Exactly the same thing occurs when
any food is dissolved (digested) in the
stomach of animals or men, and is taken
into the blood and carried to all parts
of the body. The blood gets oxygen
also from the air in the lungs and car
ries it all through the body. The atoms
of oxygen meet the atoms of digested
food, here, there, and everywhere in
the blood vessels. The two unite just
as they do in a stove; heat is produced.
only minute quantity at any one point,
but great deal of it, taking the whole
blood circulation together, and so the
whole body is kept warm, though
heat is constantly escaping from the
whole outside surface. Nature pro-
vides that the body shall always be kept
warm, otherwise it would quickly per-
ish; and so il the oxygen in the blood
don't find food enough to keep up the
internal heat, it will attack and con-
sumo any fat or flesh stored in the body,
and thus make the animal poor.
We must have an ever-burning fire
in both the animal and human system.
If the surrounding atmosphere is cold,
and carries off heat rapidly from the
surface of the body, we must increase
the internal production of heat by put
ting in more food, or by surrounding
the body with a covering that will pre-
vent the escape of much heat. ~
Is it not plain then, that by keeping
animals warm, by means of close build
inds, or shelter against heat-stealing
winds, less food will be needed, and
there will be less waste of flesh in MAX
ing heat? Any arrangement of shelter,
cover, stable, shed, blankets anything
that will prevent the natural warmth
from passing away from the surface of
any animal-will be great saving of
food required to keep up the absolutely
necessary internal life warmth; will
prevent loss of flesh; will allow the food
to go more to adding to weight of
flesh, or the yield of milk or of wool.
Shelter and external warmth in cold
weather are most economical and there
fore profitable in the keeping of farm
stock.-Amertcan AgricuIturist.

How Milk Gets Spoiled.

Mr.. Willard, in lecture on the sub
ject, gives much weight to certain
causes which effect deterioration in
the quality of milk, and which should
be carefully considered by consumers
as well on account of the effect upon
their health as that of the animal. The
presence of dirt and dust in the milk
pail; the inhaling of foul odors by the
COWS, at pasture and elsewhere, and the
drinking of putrid water. These are
brought forward because they are usu-
ally overlooked in the economy of the
dairy.
Instances are cited in which putrid
aesh has communicated faint to the
milk in the udder by simply tainting the
air breathed by the cow. Milk in the
vat of a cheese factory, during the heat
ing of the curd, gave off smell like
that of stagnant water. 1t was found
that one of the patrons had allowed his
COWS to pass through narrow slough,
The mud of which adhered to their I'D
lers. Particles of dust from this mud
got into the pals at milking time, and
thus introduced fungi from the slough,
which multiplied in the milk and spoiled
;he whole of it, giving it the odor of
toul water.
Professor Law, Of Cornell University,
6nding the milk on his cream to be ropy,
examined it with a microscope and
iound it infested with living organisms.
On investigation he found that the herd
rom which his supply came, drank the
water of a stagnant pool located in a
muddy swale. The microscope exhib-
ted organisms in this water identical
With those found in the milk. The same
vas detected by microscopic exami-
iation of the blood of the cows. That
he cows were in diseased condition
vas shown by the thermometer test
hey being hot and feverish. A little of
he same water was introduced into
milk which proper tests had shown to
'e pure, and in due time the same filthy
,rganisms multiplied and took possess
ion of it in vast numbers, producing
he same character of milk as that first
.oticed.
This investigation, made by close
observer, proves conclusively that the
germs of disease and of milk spelling
erment can be introduced into the
blood and into the udder by simply al
owing the COW to drink unsuitable
water. 1t holds out the plainest posi-
,le practice lesson to the dairyman
md farmer, and if they disregard it,
md thus make bad cheese and butter,
ind endanger the health and even lives
If their families and customers, he has
only himself to thank. 1t shows that
The cleanliness of the dairy must be
:adical, thorough and all-pervading.
No filthy mud should be allowed to dry
INTO dust that may foul the pail; no foul
doors should faint the undrawn milk;
and the drinking water should be free
Of the "little leaven that leaveneth the
whole lump'-cow, milk and all.

THE DAIRY.

One dollars worth of food when the
cow is dry is worth one dollar and fifty
cents worth after she comes in. An an
lmal in poor condition cannot digest as
much food as an animal in good condi-
lion.
1t has been proven by numerous
experiments that the shorter the time
between milkings the richer the milk.
In one case when o COW was MIXED
twice a day, twelve hours apart, the
milk gave twelve and a-half per cent.
of cream, and when MIXED five times
day, seventeen and half per cent. If,
therefore, the time between the milk
ings varies, as commonly, the milking
following closest to the previous one
will give the richest milk Cows MIXED
at half-past six in the evening and half
past four in the morning will
be pretty sure to give the
richest milk in the morning, though
this is partly caused by the more undis-
turbed time which they have at night
when embarrassed by flies, etc.
Bitter milk is matter of frequent
occurrence every fall and winter, or
soon after the COWS are off from graz.
ing. 1t is caused, first, by bitter herbs
in the hay-such as May weed, rag
weed, Johns wort, etc.-and also by
the use of too much overripe food, such
as straw, corn slower or late-cut hay. 1t
never occurs when cows are fed on good
food, and are thriving, or even holding
their own, and are kept comfortably
warm. 1t can be avoided, first, by
correcting the error in feeding and ex-
posure; and, secondly, by scalding the
milk when it is first drawn, by setting
it in pans over kettle of boiling water
till the skin which forms on its top is
well wrinkled, and then setting it away
to cool for the cream to rise. This
treatment will drive out the cause of the
bitter flavor and improve the butter and
make it easy to churn. National Lice

Horse Lore.

The horse has the smallest stomach
in proportion to his size of any animal.
Fifteen OF sixteen quarts is its utmost
capacity. This space is completely
filled by four quarts of oats and the
saliva that goes into the stomach with
them. Horses are generally overfed,
and not fed often enough. For horse
with moderate work, six or eight quarts
of bruised oats and ten pounds of fine
hay day is sufficient. This should be
fed in at least three meals, and is better
if fed in four.
A horses digestion is very rapid, and
therefore he gets hungry sooner than
man. When he is hungry he is Intellect
i've and wears out very rapidly. Water
fills the stomach, lowers the tempera-
ture and dilutes the gastric juice; there
fore horse should not drink immedi-
ately before eating Neither should he
be watered Immediately after eating,
because he will drink too much, and
force some of the contents of the stom-
ach into the large iptestines, which will
cause securing. Securing is also caused
by too rapid eating, which can be pre-
vented by putting half dozen pebbles
half the size of the fist into the manger
with the oats. Give only moderate
drink OF water to horse. A large
drink of cold water before being driven
will have very quietlng effect on a
nervous horse. A race horse always
runs on an empty stomach. Digesting
progresses moderately during exercise,
if the exercise is not so violent as to ex-
haust the powers of the horse.
consider bruised oats worth twenty
per cent. more than whole. They are
more completely digested. prefer
oats to any other grain for horses.
Cracked corn is very good under some
circumstances, but wouldn't use meal
or shorts. The disease called big head
is caused by feeding corn. When a
horse comes in hot would give mod
crate feed immediately. If the horse
is too tired to eat, would take his feed
away. A heated'horse is reason against
watering and for feeding, for the sys-
tenn is then Just in the condition to be-
gin digestion. A horse will not founder
if fed moderately when hot. L prefer
dry feed unless horse has some dis
ease of the throat or lungs. DO not
consider it worth while to cut hay. l
always feed hay from the floor, then
the horses do not get particles in their

Grit.


The force of will is potent element
in determining longevity. This single
point must be granted without argu-
ment, that of two men, every way alike
and similarly circumstanced, the one
who has the greater courage and grit
will be the longer lived. One does not
need to practice medicine long to learn
that men die who might just as we'll
live If they resolve to live, and that
myrlads who are invalids could become
strong if they had the native or ac-
CURED will to VOW they would do so.
Those who have no other quality favor
able, to life, whose bodily organs are
nearly all diseased, to whom each day
is day of pain, who are beset by life
shortening influences, yet do live by
will alone.-Dr. George M. Beard.

Effect Of Comfort on the Quality Of
the Milk.

The quiet and comfort of the COW has
much to do with the quality of her
milk. In hot weather, the annoyance
produced by flies, and excitement
caused by fighting them, makes the
nights milk still poorer than it other
wise would be. Chemical analysis has
.hown great falling off of fat in the
milk of the same COW when chased by
dog. Any unusual excitement of the
low affects the fat in her milk. Ex-
remes of heat and cold also affect the
milk. In a case where cows went into
, stream in hot weather, and stood sew
-ral hours in the water above the knee,
here was falling off of the butter
'roduct from the same quantity of
milk. This is accounted for by the ex-
ra food required to keep up the animal
Ieat, in consequence of the heat being
arried off by the water.
When we consider the fact that milk

eadily see the effect that must be pro-
iuced by excitement on the nervous
.Ystem of the COW. In a case occurring
