The vital Moment With MIX.

If we were asked what is the vital
moment with milk, says the Dairy
man, we would say the hour after it
comes from the COW. Milk, as it
leaves the udder, is about SO degrees
Fahrenheit, and if poured in large
cans, will retain heat of over ninety
for hours, if the weather is warm.
Decomposition may be said to begin
with milk the moment it leaves the
udder, and there is nothing like heat
to accomplish this. To avoid the
danger, the only way is to cool the
milk at once. Place the can in a
trough or tub of fresh, cold water. If
ice can be put in the water. all the
better. If milk is to be kept over
night to go to the factory in the morn
ing, the above practice is imperative.
The cool nights of the fall months are
particularly misleading to dairymen.
They think, because the nights are
cool. there is no need for taking the
trouble to cool the milk when first
drawn from the COW. Mr.. j. a. Smith,
an old factory man, says this is a
prolific cause of sour milk at the fac
tory in the fall. No one should ever
trust to his own feelings as to the
condition of the weather. Always
consult the thermometer; but even
the coolest nights will not save the
milk if it is allowed to remain hot in
the cans for any length of time. This
does the damage; and, like Humpty
Dumhty, after the mischief is done,
all the kings men cannot set Humpty
Dumpty up again. Cold weather will
not take the sourness out of milk after
you have once allowed it to get in.
As Mr.. Smith says, milk worth a dol
lar a hundred more should have as
much care taken of it, even if it is in less
supply; besides, no man has right to
ruin all the other patrons milk by
his own carelessness.- Teas Farm and

FARM AND GARDEN.
Topics of vital Import succinctly Narrated.
Castration.


When is the proper time to castrate
a colt? Farmer Miles says any time
will do, but say the best time is dur
ing the months of April and May, and
to make fine trim neck, he should
be castrated at year old past, if he
has not been stunted IN his growth
If his neck is not fully developed,
let him go until a two-year-old. A
few precautions are necessary to be
successful in castration, to-wit: Be
sure the colt is healthy; if both
testicles are are not down, let HIM 90
a year longer; they may descend; if
not, then it is time enough to operate.
Examine if hernia is present. Never
operate unless your instruments are
scrupulously Clean, and your knife
sharp. | have met with several cases
of lockjaw (telantts) from the operator
using a rusty knife. Always throw
the colt, for the reason it is modern
surgery, and you have him under your
control. Should any unforeseen her.
MIA be present, you have him so that
you will be able to apply the remedies
for it. The proper way to cast him is
with the improved hobbies, such as
Miles uses. Then there is no danger
of injury in casting. Cast him on the
left side. After securing him, have
an assistant hold his head and another
take hold of the left hind foot and
hook, and, the operators knife in
hand, make an incision on either side
of the median line of the strotum,
about three inches long, at one stroke
of the knife, thus exposing the testicle.
Then place the eerasseur chain over
both or each separately, about two
inches up the cord, and gently take
them Oft Lubricate the inside of the
scrotum with little sweet oil.
Loosen your hobbies and allow him to
get up. Walk him for about ten or
fifteen minutes; then let him be taken
to his stall. After treatment, there
should be plenty of exercise every day.
Don't allow him to get wet or be ex-
posed to any cold, nor allow the parts
to be washed. If he be an aged horse,
you may work him every day. This.
| think, the most humane mode of
castration. AS to clamping, have no
objections to the various methods if
tortion are covered by the ecrasseur.
The actual cautery is thing of the
past, besides very cruel way of
operating. II. b. Addtr, IN Chey-

Minor Topics.

To grow early tomatoes. says M.
Milton, we must keep them growing
slowly from the time the seeds vege-
tate until they are set in the open
ground. This is done by frequent
transplanting, always increasing the
distance apart each time, being also
careful that they are not set into the
garden until the soil is warm enough
for them to go on growing without
any check; also, that the position for
them be sheltered, having south or
east exposure.
According to Professor Lintner
there are 176 different kinds of in
sects known to attack the apple tree
in the United States. The greater
number of these insect make the APP
pie tree only an occasional food plant,
however, but altered conditions made
by cultivation may at any time cause
any of them to attack the orchard. 1t
is, therefore, highly necessary that
the orchardist keeps in mind the lead
ing preventives and remedies for
insect depredations.
A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says that it is good plan
to make small hOtbeds with one
square of window sash, making the
ground very rich with well decayed
stable manure, and plant each hot
bed with one kind of seeds-either
cucumbers, muskmelons or water
melons. When the season permits,
lift the sashes and let the vines grow
in the boxes. spreading over the sides
of them. Bv this method there is no
danger of putting back the growth OF
the plants by transplanting them, and
they can be kept from the striped bug
by throwing ward or two of strainer
cloth (Which can be purchased at six
cents per yard) over the plants, when
the sashes are removed, for fear OF
scorching them.
Professor E. NJ. Shelton, of the
Kansas Agricultural College, has
been experimenting to ascertain the
relative merits of corn meal and corn
and-cob meal in fattening animals.
He finds the advantage in favor OF
ANIMALS fed on the corn-and-cob
meal, as 1866 pounas of Command
cob meal gave 1850 pounds OF in
crease, while 1866 pounds of corn
meal gave but 1,454 pounds OF in
crease. The steers fed on the corn
and-cob meal consumed fewer pounds
of feed daily ard totally than those
fed corn chop, making at the same
time a larger gain per steer and per
hundred weight of steer, and at a
considerable less cost of feed. The
proportion of cob to corn was eigh-
Teen pounds Of the former to 100 of
the latter.
A member Of the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Association has been making
experiments to test the value of corn
fodder, which has matured crop OF
corn, in comparison with bay. He
found two pounds of stalk equal in
feeding value to one pound OF hay.
The corn yielded fifty bushels OF

Bismarck ON Eloaaence.

Bismarck is no orator. His speech
is simple and plain. He thinks that the
gift of eloquence has done great deal
of mischief III Parliamentary life. 1t
tries, by appealing to the feelings, to
settle questions which should be set
tied by common sense.
When the Federal Council began its
work, few of the members made elo-
quent speeches. Gentlemen, said
Bismarck, there is nothing to be
achieved here by eloquenee, because,
every one of you brings his convictions
along with him in his pocket; that IS,
lis Instructions Oratory is only a
waste of time. Let us limit ourselves to
statements of fact" After that hint,
no one made long, much less an elo-
qUent speech
Herr Lasker, whose death in this
country was the occasion of little I'M
pleasantness, once delivered an eloquent
speech in the Reicshtag. "These elo-
quent gentlemen, said Bismarck, COM
menting upon the speech, "are like a
good many ladies with small feet, who
always wear shoes too small for
them. and stick out their feet to be
looked at. When man has the mis-
fortune to be eloquent, he makes speech
es too often and too long.
On another occasion, Radowitz, a
great orator, made speech IN the
North German Parliament, which SO
swayed the members that they were
ready to vote as he had urged them to-
One of Bismarck's colleagues, sitting
near him was strongly moved by the
elouuence, and he shed tears.
"What are You crying about?" coolly
arked Bismarck.
"You are heartleSs," answered the
colleague, Indignantly. The next day,
when copy Of the printed speech was
placed in Bismarck's hands, he handed
it to the same gentleman, saying
please point out to me the part OF
| the speech l ought to have cried over,
Yesterday, if l had possessed such a
thing as a heart"
The gentleman looked it over and then
said 81 do not know how it Is, but the
| speech does not make the same impress
| sion upon me in print. The orators
voice, expression of face. and his maies-
| tic personality had carried the colleague
! away.
1 Bismarck used to tell a humorous
story to illustrate the distracting effect
/ of el1uuence. Frederick William L.,
the despotic king who publicly whipped
his SON, subsequently Frederick the
! Great, once listened to the pleadings
of two lawyers. After the first one had
finished his speech, the king, moved by
the advocates eloquence, exclaimed, =
This fellow is in the right" The
second lawyer then spoke, and with
such effect that the king said, This
man has the right of it"
Then recalling that he had contradlc-
ted himself, he fell into furious pas
sion and sent both orators to prison.

Try all Varieties.

Why not, this year, try all the varie-

deem best adapted to your soil, climate,
and market? If cabbage, or grass, or
wheat, or corn, or cucumbers, or celery,
or potatoes if either is, or might we'll
be, a speciality with you, get seed of a
dozen, or twenty, or more varieties of
the one species, and give them careful
treatment and comparison in all points.
The cost of the seeds is very slight. OF

time, but a few days in all; and the
pleasure and profit of the trial would

The Cost to the Century"

New York Letter to Boston Transcript
Every few days there appears in
some newspaper paragraph relating to
General Grant and the price he has
received, or is receiving, for his war
articles in the Century. No two of
these statements agree, and none that
have thus far been published state the
facts. The last that have seen was,
if recollect Alright that Grant received
81 900 amonth while writing his pap ers
and that, in view of the popularity of the
war series, the Century people had
made him some handsome presents
besides. About the second part of the
statement know nothing. The first,
however, is very vide of the mark.
The original contract called for four
articles from General Grant on Shiloh
Vicksburg. Chattanooga and the Wild
erness. The agreed price for these
articles was $500 for each, and this Is
the sum that has been paid. If any one
doubts this statement, / can assure him
that / have seen General Grants receipt
for this sum for the Shiloh and other
articles. The Shiloh paper covers
about twenty-one pages, more than
half of Which space is gwen toillustra-
tons General Grant, therefore, ac-
cording to his contract, received about
S60 for each page of text that he
furnished. and l think no one will doubt
that he wrote the whole paper. General
Joseph Z. Johnston and General Me
! Clellan, who have written about the
Peninsular campaign, aud Admiral
Porter have also received $500 each for
articles General Mcclellan is an able
writer. and his papers describing his
connection with the Army of the
Potomac, which will appsar in the May
and June numbers of the magazine, viii
undoubtedly attract wide attention.
For he discusses not only the military
side of she question, but his relations
with the Administration as we'll, and
narrafes the details of interviews which
h. had with President Lincoln and
Secretary Seward, thus giving his papers
peculiarly entertaining personal ane
controversial flavor.
