Straw and cornstalks can be best

Ventilation In the Dairy.

The Importance of a current of pure
air through milk-room where the
milk is set for cream is not sufficiently
understood. II is supposed that il the
apartment is airy, dry and clean, ano
free fitm odors more or less offensive
OF even Objectionable. these are sutli-
cient. But they are not sufficient unless
the term airy is understood in its full
est sense rs including not only large
space but also constantly moving and
renewed body of fresh air, purn ali
that has not been deprived of its pr lopez
share of oxygen by any previous pro
cess of consumption. This is niece isary
for the following reasons: First. ex
posure to pure air prevents the fdrma-
ton of acid in milk. 1t is known that
milk will sour very rapidly in the close
atmosphere of cellar in which tn, all
has been dexodized by means of decay
ing vegetable matter, or in which tho
posts or beams are affected by dry rot.
Secondly, we know that this first ! our
ing is due to the change of the mil SUI
gar into Tactic acid, spontaneous
change in which no alteration of the ell
cments has occurred, and which re-
quires nothing more than the mere abb
sence of oxygen to affect it.
This change will take place very
quickly, as many milk dairymen find
to their surprise and cost, when milk is
canned tightly before il 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 exposure to air, and necessarily to
oxygen, which is the only active ele-
ment in the air, develops a high flavor
in the cream and in the butter made
from it, and that cream so exposed to
the air, or as we term it in common
parlance, ripened, churns more easily
than 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 oxi-
dalton, hiring or ripening, for all these
terms mean the same thing, and if the
dairy or cheesc-room is not well venti-
lated and provided with abundance Of
fresh. pure, moving air, good butter or
cheese cannot be made. The Dairy.

A Dairy Cow.

A daily COW never reaches perfection
in her line until she has arrived at ma
turity, and she must reach this period
of her life with all her faculties unim-
paired if we expect her to be as good
a COW as nature intended her TO be.
She differs in this respect from the best
beef-growing animals, which are ma
ture, as it were from the start, and
whose organizations, instead Of being
impaired for their business by genera
tons of high, early feeding, are rather
more and more adapted to it. We all
know that the Oldest and best family of
Shorthorns are not remarkable for con-
stitutional vigor and elasticity. They
have not very great muscular strength,
are not nervous and powerful in theiI
movement, and are deficient in the pro-
creative powers.
A good dairy cow should possess
the appearance of strength and firm
ness without being too compact, and
she should possess no palpably weak
point if she is expected to endure well
in the work of the dairy. She should
not be selected for breeder unless she
possesses as an inheritance that shape

A Fresh Romance.


Mr.. Thomas Evans, of Louisville, KY,
was formerly a photographer. In the
hopes OF lettering his fortunes he went
to Arkansas on o prospecting tour.
That was in the early part of 1852. 1t
will be remembered that last year q
series of most destructive floods oc-
Cured in Arkansas. Cities and villages
were invaded by the relentless element.
One night the rain came, and with
scores of others, Mr.. Evans awoke to
find himself in the grasp Of the waters.
He was rescued by some adventurous
boatmen, but in such weak, uncon-
scious condition that for eight hours he
was believed to be dead.
He was taken to q hospital, where he
was seized with an illness which kept
him in his bed for twelve months, and
well-nigh proved fatal. When he grad
ually recovered he found himself para
lyzed in the arm and hand so that he
could not W.T. te. The letters he die
tated were either mscarried or never
sent, so that the only intelligence he re-
ceived from home was report of the
death of his wife. He recovered all but
the use of his hand after awhile, and
then it was months before he was able
to return to look up his children.
In the meantime it was reported here
that he was drowned in the flood, from
which, indeed, he SO narrowly escaped.
Mrs. Evans refused for long time to
believe what every one else accepted as
truth, until: as the weeks and months
rolled on, with no other tidings Of either
good or i'll, she was at last forced to
conclude herself a widow. Tae pros
pect ahead of her was dreary one.
A joyous surprise was, however, in
store for her. As she sat at her window
Thursday, near noon, look ng out on
the street, her eye was caught by what
seemed familiar figure. Her heart
beat wildly, and looking closely. she
saw what seemed to be the ghost of her
husband hobbling along the street on
crutches and looking eagerly around
for the house to which he had been di-
rectcd. Had thunderbolt struck her
she could not have been more acton
ished, and, almost fainting, she sank
into chair, deathly white and
trembling. Her little daughter, fright
ened at her mothers unnatural appear
ance, ran to her side, and in weak
voice was told to run down to the door
and meet her father. The child went
to the window, and looking out, saw
her father approaching, but the crutches
deceived her, and, returning to her
mother, she said the man was not her
papa By this time, though, he had
reached the door, and in anoth-
er moment was in the arms of his wife.
The meeting was an affectionate one.
Husband ana wife were alike oyerioyed
at the discovery Of the cruel mistake
under which they had been laboring,
and the children were almost insane
with happiness. Louisville Ky. Cour-

Chicago Marriage Statistics.

The County Clerk issued 1863 marriage
licenses during the past week. There
were three brides who were but 16
years old. In one case the groom was
l3 years older, in one 10 years, and in
another years. A groom of so years
was married TO bride of 26 years.
Inc average age of the men was 20
years and of the women 20 years. OF
the former there were seventy-three
who were 20 years or less, and only
seven between 40 and 80 years. Fifty
five were be ween the years of % and
80, and twenty-eight between 30 and 40
OF the women four were between 40 and
so years The largest number, eighty,
were between 20 and % years. Twenty
three were between % and 80 years, and
forty-seven 20 years or less.
An unusual occurrence was the APP
plication of George A. Hamilton for two
licenses, which were issued to him. His
explanation was that, he being Cath
Ole and the lady to whom he is to be
married a Protestant, and both desiring
to have the marriage solenlnized ac-
cording to the laws of the church to
which they were members, he found it
necessary to have two licenses. The
statutes compel the clergyman who Of
ficiates at the marriage to make re-
turn to the County Clerk, with his GER
tificate attached. The clergyman who
officiates at the first ceremony would
have to retain the license and make his
return under it. The clergyman who
officiates at the second ceremony must
also make q return, which, of course,
he could not do without having IL
cense, and the only way out of the diff
ficulty the first clergyman having the
original license-was to obtain second
license. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

A CHASTITY Joke.

The Review relates the story of a
Chinaman having been killed by the
cars at Heron Siding and his coun-
trymen making bargain with a
couple Of Irishmen to bury the de-
funct heather for $40. When the job
was finished the Chinamen refused to
pay more than S6, whereupon the sons
of Old Erin became wrathy and that
night repaired to the grave, some
mile and half from the Siding, and
unearthing the body carried it to the
Chinese camp. Here they stood the
corpse up against tree, facing the
tents, put pipe in its mouth and an
old hat on its head. Early in the
morning when the first drowsy Chi
naman crawled out he looked about
the camp and the first thing that met
his gaze was the dead returned. With
a yell that awOke his sleeping COM
paniOns and almost startled the dead,
the Chinaman tumbled backward
through the frail tent Out swarmed
the gang, and when they saw the
corpse grinning at them, the whole
camp broke aud ran screaming like
fiends, and never stopped until mile
away. The white man having charge
of the party heard the racket and when
he discovered the cause of the stam-
pede almost laughed his jaws out of
place. In order to remove the hideous
apparation the Cinnamon had to pay
another party $40 to bury the body.

A special London cable says that a
syndicate of holders of Confederate
bonds has been formed to press their
payment, and that they have outlined
a campaign which contemplates fl
nancial pressure on the Southern
States by attempting to close the
European money markets to southern
enterprise. The syndicate has been a
long time in correspondence with
prominent men in the south, and all,
without exception, have agreed that
some compensation should be effected
at a low figure. The syndicate also
entertains hopes of assistance on the
part of the United States government.
They have a project OF getting the
southern states to petition the govern
ment to transfer to the bond-hOlders
the unappropriited balance of the AL
ALBANIA award, and of "a large amount
of money received from various sour
ces in the south during the war. The
amount of the Confederate debt is said
to be S40O, 900, ,0O0 held mostly IN Eu-
rope. How much of this the syndi-
cate will be able to gather in remains
to be seen. At any rate, the syndi-
cate, If successful, will reap a vast re-
ward for its outlay.

DEATH OF CAPT. BOCHAU.-It 10
with sincere regret wide circle Of
friends and acquaintances hear of the
death of VIM. Bochau, which sad
event took place July 80. Some time
ago soft corn on the side of his foot
gave him considerable trouble, finally
resulting in an open sore. He went
to Portland for medical attendance,
but was unable to get any relief. The
ultimate cause of his death appears to
be pyamia. Capt. Bochau was, until
about year ago, bar pilot on the
State of California, and then was af-
terwards master of the tug Pioneer
He was a native of Holstein, aged
about 43 years. A peculiarly distress
ing feature is the strange fatality that
seems to attend the family. But COM
paratively short time ago his brother
dropped dead at the Cape; week af-
ter his nephew, Walter Pohl, was
swept from his side off the Pioneer,
and now his death results from an ap-
parently trifling cause.
