Tho Only Way In Which . Fair Profit
Can BE Realized From 1t.
No one who has carefully studied the
subject doubts that fair profit may be
realized from winter dairying. But to
make winter dairying profitable IS
careful attention must be paid to de-
tails as in summer. In summer prices
are low and the great difficulty lies in
preserving temperature low enough
for the best condition of the milk,
cream and butter. In the small dairies
this is especially true. In winter at
tention must be paid to the necessity
of keeping the temperature egual-that
is, that it does not 60 too low. Not
only this, but the cows must be so kept
that they shall have ample and regular
feeding and plenty of water and the
water must be considerably above the
freezing point. As to the bodily COM
fort of the cattle, mere sheds will not
do. The cows must be stabbed where
the temperature may be regulated and
where the feeding facilities are perfect
BY this costly structures are not
meant. As much comfort may be OBJ
tanned in the rough structure that the
farmer may improvise as the most
costly. Nevertheless, this must be At

This one thing must. however, be OBJ

The beef breeds, left to their natural

From the fact that sweet and sour
cream require different temperatures
for churning, the two should never be
mixed. They can not be churned to-

hours should intervene between the
churning and the last addition of cream

Cows should not be exposed to the

HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS.

Tho Gymnasium and Military Drill Enti-
tied to Recognition by Teachers.
There is much to be said in favor of
simple forms Of military drill in the
schools. We believe. as teaching of
method and obedience with exercise.
nothing has as yet answered in its place.
1t is easily adopted without the aid of q
military man. and adds greatly to
straightness of form and grace of
movement In its simplest form it is as
we'll adapted to girls as boys. America
has lost something in the want of this
kind of discipline. Manual labor COM
bined with school instruction has not
made the headway that is desirable. It
is complained that it takes up too much
time. If so, there is no reason that some
forms of it should not be at the COM
mand of students to the degree neces-
sary for exercise. A small garden and
few tools give variety to other exer-
cises, and are preferred by such as OBJ
ject to formal walks or games. We
think it highly practicable to introduce
the manual element first into our nor
NAL schools, with q view of showing
teachers how much can be accomplished
without elaborate methods.
The gymnasium is fairly entitled to a
place in all city schools. 1t is not need
full to have all elaborate appliances of q
technical gymnasium. 1t is more prac-
ticable to have it fitted up for such ex-
ercises as are easily learned without .
teacher. As to anatomy and physiology.
the first attempt was to teach them
much as botony and zoology are taught.
1t was rightly claimed that they train
the mind as well as do the other natural
sciences, and that on this basis they
were entitled to place. Hence SO
early a manual as that of Hitchcock
gives great fullness of detail and treats
considerably of comparative anatomy
and physiology. Even so good a text
book as that of Huxley is SO full of de-
tails as to be a very good took for q
medical student. We are of those who
believe it not practical to attempt to
teach human anatomy or physiology as
such to any large extent in the schools.
They should be taught just to that ex-
tent which is needful to an appreciation
of the facts of hygiene.-M Y. Inde-

Individuality Of Animals.

The individuality of animals is not sui
ficiently considered. Hence too much
stress is laid upon the performance
individual COWS as a test of the charac-
teristics and value of the breed to which
they belong. The fact is that there is
about as much difference between the
individuals of breed as there is be-
tween the several breeds. and the indi-
vidual is constantly changing with the
different periods of lactation, and from
year to year. This change can be seen
in both the quality and quantity of pro-
duct. Hence, aside from the general
appearance, the characteristics and
value of any breed of cows can be prop
erly judged only by the performances oi
a large number of such cows under well.
