Ventilation I'm the Dairy.

The Dairy
The Importance of current of pure air
through milk room where the milk is
set for cream is not sufficiently understood.
1t is supposed that If the apartment is airy,
dry and clean, and free frow odors more or
less offensive or even Objectionable, these
are sufficient. But they are not sufficient
unless the term airy is understood in its
fullest sense as including not only large
space, but also a constantly moving and
renewed body of fresh, pure air that has
not been deprived of its proper share of
oxygen by any previous process OF con-
sumption, This is necessary for the fol.
lowing reasons First, exposure to pure
air prevents the formation of acid in milk.
1t is known that milk will sour very rapid.
ly in the close atmosphere of a cellar in
which the air has been deoxidized by means
of decaying vegetable matter, or in which
the posts or beams are affected by dry rot.
Secondly, we know that this first souring
is due to change of the milk sugar into
Tactic acid, a spontaneous change in which
no alteration of the elements has occurred,
and which requires nothing more than the
mere absence of oxygen to affect it.
This change will take place very quick
ly, as many milk dairymen find to their
surprise and cost when milk is canned
tightly before 1t has been cooled and aired
sufficiently. Thirdly, we know that this
needed airing simply affects the oxidation
of the milk required to destroy the germs
present in it, and by the operation of which
the change of the milk sugar to milk acid
is produced. Fourthly, it is known that
exposures to air, and necessarily to oxygen,
which is the only active element in the air,
develops high flavor in the cream and in
the butter made from 1t, and that cream so
exposed to the air, or, as we term il in
common parlance, ripened, churns more
| easily than any other cream, and produces
the very best quality of butter as regards
color and flavor, The fact is, the flavor OF
butter, and of cheese as well, is developed
only by process OF oxidation, airing or
| ripening, for all these terms mean the same
thing, and If the dairy or cheese.room is
not well ventilated and provided with an
abundance OF fresh, pure, moving air, good
butter or cheese cannot be made.

con a Mexican Mustany."

The above is the suggestive title of new
book written by Alex. E. Sweet and j. Ar
mory Knox, the humorous Editors of the
famous TEXAS SIFTlNGs, now the most
widely quoted journal in the United States.
The book is large 700 page volume, illus
trated with nearly 300 original Illustrations.
The book is not collection of witticism
without connection but is continuous
narrative descriptive of the peculiarities,
characteristics and atrocities of some of the
quaintest people in some of the queeresi
corners in the United States. Although
brimming over with humor and sparkling
with wit it is more than volume of wit
and humor 1t contains vast quantity
of valuable information regarding Texas
and Mexico, their resources and industries,
the manners. customs and habits of theil
people, etc,
The publishers, Thayer, Merriam & Co.,
Cos Arch street, Philadelphia, may well be
proud of the handsome manner in which
they have turned out the book. 1t will be
sold only by subscription. The publish
ers want agents in every township in the
country, to whom they are prepared tc
offer liberal inducements. They will send
circulars, instructions and sample pages
free on application by letter, or complete
outfit for canvassers for 81. As all the
world has laughed at the humorous writ
ing of the Editors of the TEXAS SIFTNGs
almost every one who can read will wan
a copy of their book. 1t, WILL therefore
be bonanza to agents, who will max,
money rapidly by selling it.

Is not in the strike of country operators, as

A good deal has been said through the
papers about the healthfulness of lemons.
The latest advice is how to use them so
they will do the most good, as follows :
Most people know the benefit of lemonade
before breakfast but few know that it is
more than doubled by taking another at
night also. The way to get the better Of
the bilious system without blue pills or
qnninc, is to take the juice of one, two or
three lemons, as appetite Graves, in as much
ice water as makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed. In the
morning, on rising, at least a half hour
before breakfast, take the juice of one lem
on in goblet of water. This will clear
the system of a humor and bile with effica-
cy, without any of the weakening effects
of calomel or congress water. People
| should not irritate the stomach by eating
| lemons clear, the powerful acid of the

produces inflammation after while, but
properly diluted so that it does not burn oil

without harm, and when the stomach il
