Professor Knapp, of Iowa, is cred
tied with having instituted a series Of
experiments with soft woods for fence
posts, the preserving element being hot
gas. OF coal tar. Up to date, bass wood,
willow. cottonwood, etc., show as du.
rable results as oak. The tar was ap-
piled boiling hot, the posts being al
lowed to remain in the mixture some
fifteen minutes, and then dried for g
month in the sun. Green wood seemed
to take up the tar best, and examina-
ton found the penetration of the tai
had been from one-half to three-fourths
OF an inch in many cases. The cost OF
thus coating $50 posts will be about one
dollar, the cost of barrel of tar, besides
the labor. If the experiment is conclu.
sive it goes far toward answering the
question of posts, for all farms have got
abundant material in beech, Eastwood,
willow, etc, for posts, and the expense
of coating them with tar is mere trifle
compared with the purchasing of cedar
for that purpose.

THE DAIRY.

The Society of Public ANALYSTS of
Great Britain and Ireland have adopted
as standard for the poorest pure milk
nine per cent. of solids, minus fats, and
two-fifths per cent of fats-a total of
eleven fifths per cent. of solids. There
is little doubt that milk containing less
than this percentage of solids is watered
or skinned.
"A teat in which there is an OPEN
ing at the side through which the milk
escapes is a subject for simple surgi-
cal operation, which is sure to be eff
fective if performed properly. The
skin around the hole is to be removed,
and the hole enlarged into slit, which
is then drawn together at the edges
with a surgeons stitch, and covered
with sticking plaster. A milking tube
is used to draw the milk until the slight
wound heals. There is no other reme-
dy which will cure this defect or re-
lieve it permanently. Your family doc
tor would doubtless perform the opera
ton for you.-M Y. Times.
The dry weather has produced
much trouble with milk in various
places, the cause is doubtless impurity
in the water, from which even streams
and springs are not free. Where well
water has been used there is no trouble.
In q dry season the air is filled with
dust consisting in part of myriads of
organic germs, which, when they fall
upon moist heritage or into water. ger
inmate and produce various infusorial
plants which cause decay in whatever
they are found. These are taken into
the blood and affect the milk, and are
the causes of much disease besides in
animals which do not yield milk.
