PEOPLE wonder why milk gets sour.
They cannot account for il. 1t has been
determined BY scientific men that it is
owing 10 the presence of foreign SUBJ
stances. These are the reasons why
cream spoils so quickly: Mix would
keep sweet and cream also, If the milk
could be absolutely protected from the
air in which float the germs which spoil
it. Some OF these are vegetable and
some animal. The last start the sour
Ing or acldity, and then decay begins, as
1t does with the development of the
former. The mites are known as of the
genus bacillus. These bacilli are not
active in acold atmosphere or when it
is heated, and they may be killed by
heating the milk up to 15S degrees.
This VIII not prevent more getting into
the milk, nor will it destroy the spores.
Milk should be kept, TO obtain the best
conditions, in q separate room and with
everything as clean as possible. Dirt,
sourness and smells breed the enemies of
milk and bntter.

FORAGE crops should receive more
attention than has been usual. Many
of these crops are really the most profit
able that can be grown on farms where
stOck-raising is largely engaged in, and
it is a wonder that farmers do not more
generally engage IN growing them.
Corn, fodder, alfalfa, oats and peas, ETC.,
produce enormous growth of succulent
and valuable food, at comparatively
small cost. There is hardly season
when there is necessity for a scarcity
of rough feed, il there was proper ap-
probation OF the crops mentioned.
Usually when there is failure of the
hay crop there Is spell of weather
later in the season that will mature a
crop of millet, Hungarian grass or fod-
def, and il a crop Of fodder. ETC., is
sown early in the season, together with
the hay crop, there could scarcely be a
failure to have abundance OF feed.

FARM NOTES

IT is a sound rule, that everything
should go to market as soon as it is
ready to ship. This rule applies with
particular force to such perishableartl-
Gle as batter. 1t can be kept, but 1t
requires some latitude of language to
even call such butter sweet. To make
it keep longer than thirty days, it must
have a liberal allowance of salt to neu-
tralize the effects of the buttermilk that
cannot always be gotten out. The
French and English markets for the
highest grades of butter, require that
no salt whatever be put in it. The
best markets Of this country are tend
ing in the same direction. The higher
the price paid for butter the less salt
will be tolerated in it. Such butter is
very hard to make, and must be mar
keted, and should be eaten within four
or FIVE days from the churn. The COM
pensation for this haste and extra labor
is that more of it is consumed, and the
price is generally much above that of
the highest market quotations. We
have heretofore described the process
of making granular butter" This is
simply butter which is chilled in the
churn when it is in the mustard-S seed or
wheat-grain condition, before it has
gathered into larger masses. The but
termilk is drawn off and cold water, or
even ice water added. Then it is wash
ed with cold water, removed from the
churn to barrel or stone j2r without
MASKING the grains, and the vessel is
then filed up with strong brine. Be-
fore shipping, the first brine should be
changed, rs it will dissolve considera-
bic casein and look turbid, and second
brine will probably remain clear.
While in the brine, the butter must be
covered by circular piece of wood,
nearly fitting the barrel, or by plate if
in stone jar, and weighted 50 that it
will be kept submerged. Such butter
will keep for weeks, and when removed
from the brine and rinSed well with
water, becomes virtually ''sweet but
ter" and is, easily worked into rolls or
prints to suit the market. II worked
without washing out the brine, the
very slight flavor of salt is to our taste
an improvement.

Children I'm the Earthouake.

A little girl who has plenty of brains and
writes a most excellent letter, tells Harper's
Young People how it feels to be caught i'll an
earthquake. This clever miss lived in Charles
ton. She says:
| want to tell you something about the
earthquake. Grandmother has lived Sc years,
and she says it was the most terrible thing
she ever passed through. 1t was q great deal
worse than the cyclone.
Light sand dubbed up in our yard and all
about. 1t is different from all the earth
around.
We have been sleeping out Of doors al
night, and we could hear the colored people
singing and praying all night. 1t was strange
to lie down in the open air, just under the
sky. The father of one of our little friends,
who was with us, is a clergyman, and he
PRAYED for us in the middle of the night.
We do not undreSs now to 60 to bed. We
keep on our clothes, shoes, and all, day and
night. We have no chimneys, either, on the
house or the kitchen, and we are trying to
have the holes stopped up SO the rain can't
pour down on us.
We have shocks all the time, and we don't
know when it will be over. We were fright
ened at first, but now we are so used to it we
don't make a fuss.
We are going to try to sleep in the house,
on the first floor now, and if the ceiling begins
to fall we will creep under the dining table.
Our pretty room, where Monte and l slept, is
all torn to pieces, but we are thankful our
lives were spared. 1t was awful to nave to
run out into the street, full of bricks, that
night. and the fires burning. We were more
comfortable in the tent than in the stable,

L,rd ChurcbIlrs American Gold.

Talking Of speeches reminds me that |
have read a most amusing remark made
by Lord Randolph Churchill in one Of his,
a few nights ago. Here is the remark:
"Mr. Gladstone has also American gold to
hell. him. Eighty-fve members of Mr..
Gladstone's party absolutely depend fol
their living on the almighty dollar"
There isn't prima facie anything very
amusing In it, is there! No. But here
is where the amusing part comes in. The
laugh begins if we reflect that at the pres
ent moment Lord Randolph Churchill is
himself-as he has been since his mar
riage-if not altogether, at all events
mainly, supported by American dollars,
got through his pretty wife. When he
married Miss Jennie Jerome, OF New
York, and got a bagful of American gold
and mighty dollars from her papa in eX-
change for his very trumpery title, he was
almost unknown in the political world.

might have had a hump, or a squint, or a
snub nose, it would have been all the
same to Lord Randolph, for she had
money. If she hadn't had money, l don't
think her beauty would have helped her
to become Lady Randolph Churchill Like
all other Englishmen of his class, Lord
Randolph wouldn't have married any
woman who hadn't money, and would

The ceremonies Of sending servants and
provisions to the dead were conducted in
solemn silence. Hardly q word was ut
tered by the devotees except an occas-

thing was required. After all the daint-
les had been formally offered to the dead
a match was applied to the pile of paper
servants, prayers, and money, and just
before the blaze died out an urn OF rice
wine was poured upon it. This was a
parting drink to the spirit who carried
away the presents.
The ceremonies over, the roasted pigs
and chickens were carried back into the
various carriages and carted back to Mott
street and laundries throughout the city.
In China the period for sending offerings
To the dead lasts ten days, but here 1t is
briefer. In Mott street the other day 1t
