UNREASONABLE CUSTOMS.

There are customs of long standing
which public opinion respects, but
which reason does not justify. The
practice of standing at the grave DUR
ing the customary funeral services
when the chilling winds prevail is not
a matter of duty, nor does respect for
the dead at the sacrifice of health re-
quire it. The following paragraph,
taken from leading journal, is worth
considering:
" 1t has grown common to notice for
funerals to say no flowers The
Commercial Advertiser very pointedly
says: In view of the prevalence of
pneumonia and kindred diseases a
further request should be made that
hats should not be removed at the
grave of the deceased. More colds
have been caught and deaths caused by
this foolish practice than the world
has the slightest idea of.

Farmers inform us that although
the spring has been backward and the
usual farm work delayed by much wet
weather, yet the more favorable
weather of past weeks brought farm
work up to the full average of former
years. No news is more gratifying to
the jewellers in cities or villages
than the prospects for good harvest.
The residents in cities are dependent
upon the country in much greater
degree than the country is on the
cities. The country, by possibility,
could subsist without the city; but
the city would starye without the
country. Hence the people in cities
watch the crop reports with great in

Mr.. Beecher to fill the vacancy. But
it has been found that the call Of the

RAISING THE CREAM-SHALLow OPEN AND
DEEP COLD SETTING COMPARED.
The setting of milk to raise the cream is
an important operation. There are two
methods, viz. The deep cold setting and
the open shallow setting. A comparison of
the two methods may be Of value It will
not be amiss to preface the subject with a
partial statement of the constituents of milk
and the changes to which ii is subject.
Average milk contains per cent. of fat, 8
per cent of sugar, and per cent. of casein.
There are other constituents in minute guam
titles, the rest is water. Chemists tell us
that the casein or cheesy constituents of the
milk is the element that is SO readily subject
to change Unless the milk when drawn
from the cow is reduced to a low temperature,
change commences immediately The first
fermentation is the vinous, in which the sugar
of the milk is changed to alcohol. If ar
rested at this point. the milk forms the IA
nous koumis, gentle stimulant and nu-
TRENT, very grateful to the debilitated system,
and having the nutritious constituents of the
milk in that soluble condition so easy of as
similation. The next fermentation is the
acetic, in which the alcohol is changed to
vinegar then the milk becomes sour.
When all the particles of alcohol become
vinegar, the milk is very sour. In this con-
dition, the casein becomes curd, and the
water Of the milk and the vinegar called
whey is partially separated from it, The
acid combines with the fat, or, in the Ian
guage of the dairy,

The Washington Republican says
private theatricals have been more
popular the present season than here
tofore That paper says the spectacle
of the daughters Of Senators and mem-
bers of Congress on the stage, in
private theatricals, is quite novel, and
makes these features Of social life very
interesting. The theatre always has
been and perhaps will be for some
time to come q popular place of
entertainment, but the best regulated
public theatres draw persons of doubt
ful reputation-persons with whom
most respectable people would refuse
to associate in home circles. To avoid
these eXcrescences that attach to
theatres, in spite of the most careful
management, 1t is not strange that
gentlemen and ladies of refinement
prefer private theatricals where there
may be less professional talent, but
certainty of unobjectional company.
This probably furnishes the true rea-
son for the increased popularity of
private theatricals among the more re-
fined classes in the city of Washington.

the normal heat of the milk. The philosophy
Of raising the cream is this: The milk at
its natural temperature is placed in the
cold water. The cold causes the water of
the milk to become denser and mere buoyanf,
and the fat retains its heat longer and
quickly rises to the surface. Some dairymen
claim that By this method all the cream can
be raised in 40 minutes, If the milk. at the
temperature when taken from The COW, is
submerged in ice-water. Actual test will de.
monStrate that all the cream can be raised
between milkings
The low temperature absolutely preserves
the milk from change. 1t makes no differ
ence how hot the weather is, or whether the
air is clear or murky, the milk is out of
reach of its influence. The quality and con.
dition of the milk and cream being invari-
able, it follows the butter must be In the
same perfect condition. In open shallow
setting curds or white aecks are produced
in the cream in certain conditions of the
atmosphere. Generally these can be washed
out of the butter while freeing ii from the
butter milk.
THE METHODS COMPARED.
In the deep cold setting they are never
found in the cream. In open shallow set
ting, when the weather is extremely hot,
the milk room must be visited fifty times
in day and the milk examined to gee if
it is loppered under the cream. If it is,
it must be skinned instantly, no matter at
what hour of the day, or whether or not
all the cream is raised. If this is neglected,
an extreme degree Of sourness would de-
velop that would destroy The delicate flavor
Of the butter, even if it should not be more
seriously injured. In deep cold setting
none Of these difficulties attend After the
cans Of milk are placed in the cold water
tank they need no further care or watch
ing When the cans are required to re-
ceive the next milking, the cream is skim
med, the milk emptled out Of the cans and
the cans washed. In the open shallow set
ting there are always three or four milk
ings on hand to watch and care for. La
the deep cold setting there is only one
milking on hand therefore less room is
required, and the milk needs no care after
being placed in the tank. The proofs are
numerous and abundant that butter made
| by the process of deep setting cannot be
excelled in any or all the high qualities
so desirable and sought after in good butter

and with sufficient fullness to aid one who
had to choose between them.-R F. Robert

THE WHEY EATS THE CREAM.

and large portion of it is thus lost. As soon
as the acetic fermentation begins, the casein
commences to form curd. This thickens the
milk and prevents some cream from rising to
the surface and also destroys the aroma and
delicate flavor of what has riseR The tenn
perature of the milk when drawn from the
COW is SO degrees. If it is then exposed to
the air in warm temperature the changes
are rapid and destructive. If the milk is
quickly reduced to As, or so degrees and pro-
tected from the air, no change can take place
in its condition or quality. It will be proper
now to describe the two methods of setting
milk. and compare them as we proceed.
The careful dairyman constructs his milk
room on the ideal Of being warm in winter
and cool in summer, and may succeed in
degree. However, he finds it necessary TO
keep fire in winter and in summer there
are days when it is extremely hot for his
milk. Setting in open shallow pans re-
quires a large room, and there is large
surface of milk exposed to the air and dust
and flies. Cold water is circulated around
the sides or bottom of the pans to cool the
milk and prevent rapid change. The milk
is usually allowed to stand thirty-six hours
before skimming, and during that time ia
exposed to the air. Sixty degrees Pahreu-
heit is the right temperature at which to
maintain the milk room to secure the best re-
suit. But in hot, summer weather the tenn
perature will rise much higher. One can
readily see that the skill and experience Of
the dairyman is constantly taxed to maintain
the milk and milk room at the proper tenn
perature, and frequently both get beyond
his control. In shallow setting, the rule is
to skim as soon as the milk becomes slightly
loppered next to the cream. This condition
allows the cream to be easily and quickly re-
moved without waste. Under this method
the cream should be churned every morning.
If this is not done the cream will ACQUIRE an
injurious degree of acidity unless it is kept.
until churning, in refrigerator where
change will be retarded If the dairyman
finds, on account of the xtreme heat. that
the milk is loppered at the surface in u
hours after setting, he submits to the loss in
lessened amount of cream, skins at once to
prevent deterioration of quality, and places
his cream in the refrigerator to arrest or re-
tard fermentation. Under favorable cir
cuLstances the milk stands So hours before
the Topper condition is arrived at. during
which time it is supposed all the cream
which can rise will be at the surface. The
small dairies that use the shallow setting.
and do not have enough cream to allow of
churning of. ener than once in two or three
days, invariably suffer loss in deterioration
of quality by an extreme fermentation of the
cream,
