THE TEMPERATURE FOR ROOD.

The following are the practical conclusions
arrived at by DR.. Franz Spaeth: A temperature
OF l04-i22 Fahrenheit generally is the best for
all foods and drinks, and whore solid food is to
be mastieated it should not exceed 95 ?. Fluids
may be borne OF f40-149o in small swallows il
cold solids are eaten with them. The warming
Of the body, for which purpose hot srinks arc
sometimes taken, can be attained at temperatures
which exceed the bi0od-heat 1913 9 Fahrenheit
by 1924 . Fahrenheit, and the danger and pain
Of higher temperatures are needless: People
who suffer from stomach troubles, especially ul
ceration, sbocld carefully avoid high tempera
lures. Children especially should be guarded
against this dangerous habit. For nursing in
fauts Nature has clearly indicated the prope
temperature. Mothers milk ia at 1904 Fab
renheit; therefore all artificial food should be a
ths point. These experiments and the practi
cal points deducted from them ARE Of the great
est value hygienicaily, ana should be needed

In the morning fresh and cool,
Going To the district school.
From the shady farmhouse door,
Mother watches, t!ll no more

Tired feet swing 60 and fro,

Eating up the bread and cheese.

When the boys and girls 90 out,

Half reluctantly they go.

Those who keep but one or two cows in cities
villages, and At suburban homes are as much in
terested IN the cost Of the production Of milk as
the farmer or daifymaa who feeds many A
series Of careful experiments have been made at
the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment sta
ton To determine the cost OF making milk from
various foods tried aud by several combinations
Of foods. These were bran, shorts, coru-meal
gluten-meal (the refuse from glucose factoriea),
OF the published results shows that IN feeding
bran or shorts, corn meal and glaten-meal, three
and n quarter pounds weight Of each were used.
Two Of the foods were also combined making
six and half pounds 10 feed each COW daily,
aud at times a combination Of three kinds was
used, making nine aud three-quarters pounds
feed daily TO each COW. The remaining food
was either hay, dry-coru fodder, or corn eusil-
age. The highest amount o. hay eaten by any
COW IN one day was twenty pounds and Of ensil-
age fftylve pounds. The apparent bulk Of the
ensilagc over the hay, as shown by weight, may
be understood when IL il remembered that the
hay IL dry while cnsilage If juicy. The highest
cost Of milk per quart was from libe raj hay and
grain feed, being two and threc-tenths cents per
quart The milk produced 1t the lowest cost
was from a moderate feeding Of ensilage and
corn-Iaeal and was but eighty-three-huudredths
cents Per quart Practically, il will be see
from the above that a quart Of milk produced
by feeding hay and grain costs much as two
and one-fourlh quarts produced by feeding ensil-
age and corn meal. II Il also stated chat, so far
as the quality Of the milk was concerned, under
the various conditions Of feed given, no serious
alteration in It's composition was noticed.

BUTTER NJ THE ACRE

Mr. Hiram smith hiss been advocating new
way for measuring the yield OF butter. lie
abandons the old style that used the COW test,
and has adopted the acre test. lie does not
want to know how much butter he makes per
COW. but how much per acre OF his farm. This
is In keeping with the modern high farming adj
Soeates forcing acres to the last limit Of their
productigeness. Sir b. l.awes has lateiy been
calling halt to this idea, with proofs 10 show
thar the largest crops are not necessarily the
most profitable crops. A big crop frequently
costs more thar il comes to. The same princi-
ples apply alike in farming aud other business.
There are large sales and small profits. and
small Gales and large profits. So with crops
there may be large crops with little profit and
Hale crops with large profits. A happy medium
ii either case may be the. better method
