When Should a Cow Go Dry?

There is such thing as burning a
candle at both ends. One may easily
do this in the dairy, and while the
"good, easy man" thinks he is making
a good deal of light at the same cost,
suddenly his candle may go out. This
kind of thing may go on when one
milks the cows up to the time OF calv.
ing or near it, and even encourages il
by feeding it to that end. But then il
may not. And it is the dairyman's
business to know all about il and take
any general rule for his guide. There
is no rule without a multitude of ex.
ceptions, and these are as numerous as
times, places and circumstances; and
as circumstances alter cases, so the
reply TO the question we have put above
depends upon circumstances. There
are COWS that will not go dry, but will
milk from calf TO calf. Is the dairy.
man TO worry himself and the COW in
useless defiance of her natural habit
By no means. He must suit his case to
the circumstances, and reduce the milk
yield as much as possible by milking
once day perhaps, and compensate
the COW for her extra burden by giving
her more feed up to safe limit. What
this limit may be depends wholly upon
the ability Of the COW to BEAUTIFULLY di.
gest and dispose of the food. And no
one but the intelligent owner can say
what this limit may be, for II will vary
as COWS vary, and no two COWS are pre-.
cisely alike. As long as the COW Is in
thriving condition, not losing flesh OF
making fat, the limit is not reached.
But rs rule. 10 be contracted and
expanded judiciously and safely, II
might be said that COW should be
dried off six weeks before she is due to
calve. That up TO that time she should
be liberaliy fed in the usual manner;
that thenceforth her food should be
curtailed or even changed to dry hay
and il her condition is reduced some
what, so much the better. 1t will make
it safer for her and the calf. The milk
ing may be done once a day, or not
wholly completed, leaving little in
the udder. We have even taken a little
milk, several times a day from a COW
in this condition, with the effect Of
rapidly drying the udder. But 1t is q
dangerous thing and one TO be avoided,

milk in cows udder at this time

A Rat and n Dove.
Hartford Courant.l

A very interesting exhibition Of affinity
in animals usually antagonistic was oh.
served few days ago by Hartford gen.
tleman. He has large number Of doves,
and when they feed the corn attracts the
chickens, sparrows and rats. The birds
do not seem TO be in the least frightened
at the hungry rodents, although these are
of unusual size. No happier family exists
inside or outside Of q menagerie. But the
Humanitarian aspecp Of the strange as.
sortment was shown at its height. The
gentleman observed one Of the rats run TO
the corn, feed heartily, and then 90 TO the
carriage house, dozen or more feet away.
He repeated the visit number OF times.
The observers curiosity being aroused, he
went TO the carriage house, and found one
Of the doves Ia sick one) eating corn there.
The object OF the rats movements was
made plnin-he had been carrying corn TO
the dove, unable TO 90 10 the ground "

THE DAIRY.

The Pennsylvania dairies Of the
best class often use red earthenware
pots, glazed inside, about eight inches
deep and ten inches in diameter on the
top, for setting the milk in cool running
water. This plan is also common in the
best dairies in Normandy, France,
which are noted for fine butter. The
milk is never heated excepting when
very thick or "clouted'' cream is de-
sired for special purposes; it is wholly
unnecessary in ordinary dairying.
The american CuLtiUator notes that
there is significance in the fact that
none Of the creamery managers at the
recent Connecticut dairy convention
permit the feeding of cotton-ssed meal
to COWS whose milk they receive. 1t is
noted also, that fifty farmers of South
Amherst, Mass, lately agreed that
quart of cotton-seed meal per day is all
that can be safely given to each COW,
and that it can be given directly after
milking.
Dairy farming has assumed won
dertul proportions in Great Britain,
where it is now growing more rapidly
than in any other country in the world
The amount of capital employed in
dairying by farmers in the United
Kingdom is estimated at no less than
from $S75,000,000 to S1,000,0 900, 900,
and that by landlords at from S6,5OO,-
100000 to $7,0O0,0 100000. These are
vast sums, and yet it is only too well
known that British dairy farming is
capable of much further development.
An estimable lady tths West says
there should be less science and more
common sense in butter making, which
undoubtedly is true, provided herefers
to the cheap science that some noted
butter expounders preach, but when
she goes farther, and says better cows
and better feed will put stop to the
demand for butter color, we very much
doubt this. No class of COWS carry
enough yellow pigment in their systems
to continue high color in the butter
when green food is kept from them for
several months at time, as It is in
winter. Besides, the coloring matter
now in use does the butter no harm,
and is cheap and easily applied

Scalding Curd.

It is a generally accepted theory that
curds cooked in whey at. ninety.six de-
grees to ninety-eight degrees are
scalded, but such Is not fact any more
than that the milk when drawn from
the udder of the COW is already
cooked" or "scalded. Why curd is
scalded at all is TO secure perfect action
of the rennet and get the action Of the
gastric juice Of the rennet TO digest and
assimilate the curd and bring about
perfect separation of the curds and
whey. This action will be the most
perfect when nature is closely initiated
as TO the temperature, and. the pepsine
or gastric juice is at that point assisted
TO the greatest degree in It's work. 1t
may take place at ninety-two degrees,
but II is an operation so much
slower that other elements are
losing, and ninety-eight degrees
is chosen. The cooking is complete
when this rennet action has formed the
curd, which Is simply expelling the
whey. Cooking curd Is only rennet ac-
tion, and when this point Is reached the
whey should be withdrawn, as this artifi-
cial acid at such point commences
upon the oil and mineral matter of the
curd TO destroy and neutralize them,
which Is against good cbeese-making.
The curds Of the sailing should be grad
ually cooled down to eighty degrees and
allowed to remain before putting to
press until an acid can be developed.
Acid developed by contact with the air
Is far different than that engendered by
the action of whey, and does not neu-
tralize the oils or butter fat, nor destroy
the lime and salts that assist the after
rennet action in curing Curd put to
press at eighty-iive TO ninety degrees is
liable TO generate gas while thus COM
pressed that will faint the curd and
produce all the often bad symptoms Of
putting, "sliding over" and final worth
lessness. s.- Cleveland Herald.

ATTITUDES AFTER DEATH.
Three Extraordinary Instances of Death
in Battle


in Battle.
One of the most striking examples of
the strange fact that am about to study.
says DIR. Brown Sequard IN La Mature,
was observed by DR.. ROssbach, of Wurt-
bourg, upon the battlefield of Beaumont,
near Sedan, in 1870. lie found the corpse
ola soldier half-sitting, half-reclining upon
the ground, and delicately holding a tin
cup between his thumb and forefnger.
and directing it toward mouth that was
wanting. The poor man had, while in
this position, been killed by a cannon
ball that took off his head and all of his
face except the lower jaw. The body and
arms at the instant of death had suddenly
taken on a rigidity that caused them
atterward to remain in the position in
which they were when the head was re-
moved. Twenty-four hours had elapsed
since the battle when DR.. Rossbach found
the body in this state.
A detachment of United States soldiers,
foraging around GoldsbOrough, N. c.,
came suddenly upon a small band of
Southern troopers who had dismOunted.
These latter Immediately jumped into
their saddles, and all scampered away
except one, after being exposed to one
round of fire. The soldier who did not
escape was sitting upright, one foot in his
stirrup. In his left hand he held the
bride and the horses name, while his
right hand graSped the barrel of his rifle
near the muZZle, the stock ofthe gun rest
ing on the ground. The horseman's head
was turned toward his right shoulder, APP
parently watching the approach of the
assailing party. Some of the soldiers of
the latter were preparing to fire again.
when their officer ordered them to desist
and to go and make the defiant man q
prisoner. The latter, upon being ordered
to surrender, made no answer, When he
was approached and examined, it was
found that he was dead and rigid in the
singular attitude that we have lust de-
scribed. 1t took considerable of an effort
to force his left hand to release the horses
name and to remove the rifle from his
right hand. When the body was laid upon
the ground, the limbs preserved the same
position and the same infleXibility. This
man had been struck by two balls fired
from Springfield rifles. One of them had
entered to the right of the vertebral
column and had made its exit from the
body near tie region OF the heart, 1t had
left its track upon the side of the saddle,
and had then dropped to the ground. The
horse had remained quiet, as he was fast
ened by halter,
The following is another incident. At
the battle of w illiamsburg DIR. T, b,
Reed examined the body of a United
States Zouave who had received a ball in
the forehead just as he was climbing over
a low fence, He, likewise, had preserved
the last attitude of his life. One of his
legs was half over the fence, while his
body still remained behind. One hand,
which was partially closed, was raised
level with his forehead, with the palm for
ward as If to preserve himself against
some imminent danger.

UNNATURAL NATURAL HISTORY
Some Popular Errors About Birds and
Things

Some Popular Errors About Birds and
Things.
The pelican feeds its young with the
life-blOod from its own bleeding bosom,
says AL the Year Round. This is beau
tiful mistake that will live forever in SYM
Dol and legend. The ''Teal live' pelican
has a large bag under her unwieldly
beak, and, digging with the beak toward
the breast, she feeds her brood and soils
her feathers with red-stained tidbits of
fish from the bag, The nightingale leans
her breast against thorn and sings in
pain, In the old poets not only has she a
thorn in her breast, but she puts it there.
Instead of being the voice of lonely love.
she ought to be the emblem of those dis
cOntented people who, in a position envi-
able to others, first make their own trou-
bles, and then spend their lives in self
cOmmiseration. OF course, the nightin-
gale is not such a fool as she locks in
poetry. Swans are said to sing a DEATH
song; this is poetry, too. But they are
Matched during thunder; and this is prose
the belief of otherwise sensible folk.
Crows and curlews hate each other so
that their eggs put in the same nest will
all burst. Talking of eggs, the cock of
the South of England LAYS an egg when
the hen has ceased laying; it is a small.
Insignificant affair, with no yelk in it
clearly an amateur attempt. These cocks
eggs are to be found in Sussex, if nowhere
else. As we have got to the poul-
try yard, let Jobs turkey have
word. The Americans have
the honor of discovering that ILL.,
conditioned bird. They say s'as poor as
Jobs turkey, that had to lean against a
fence to gobble,v but there we must leave
him, as be does not strictly belong To Us.
