A RIVAL OF WOOL,
Imported Garments Made of the Hair Of
Russian Cows

ANuoHshu So"b
Cows hair has never been highly
valued as a textile production. but
through recent inventions that almost
~valueless substance may take an i'm
portant position among the natural
productions of this country. Shortly
it is likely to appear as a rival CT wool,
and COWS will be cultivated for their
hair as well rs for the present mani
fold reasons. A Walker street i'm
porter received a consignment of hair
felting, and the question arose as to
what class of duty it should be subject
to. Running through the material
were little woody tibers, and to the I'M
professional eye and touch it seemed
as though wool formed q portion of the
tibric. The collector at first thought
that the material should be admitted
only under the high wool import duty.
This the importer objected to and sent
Prof. Doremus down to the cpstom
house to explain to Mr.. Magone the
difference between various kinds of
wool. A microscopic examination Of
the felt disclosed the fact that a certain
kind Of COW hair, having more the
properties of wool than most cows
hair, had been used most successfully
to knit the hair together. The possible
tiles of the American COW seem to be
almost unlimited. But she will not
carry all the glory of furnishing this
country with a heavy fabric. Among
her rivals will be thousands of horses,
and even the homeless, ~yalueless vel

FEEDING


Newspaper Advice which Hss Proved :,
BE of Doubtful Utiiity.
W. often see advice given in poultry
and stock journals ABOUT providing !
layer OF straw or hay either cut OF
whole. and chaf also, on the floor Of
the chicken house, especially in winter,
to give to fowls something to do in
the way of scratching for the grains
thrown down to them. This looks very
plausible in theory, and may result
well in practice with some breeders.
But my W experience in this line
would lead me to conclude it to be OF
rather doubtful utility. 1t is q known
fact that some breeds Of chickens will
take their food more deliberately. and
Others more %ravenously than common.
If you throw a handful Of grain to a
pen Of Brahmas. Cochius, or other re-
representatives. of the large and sluggish
breeds they will usually go at 1t very
deliberately and take their time to ii,
like the Englishman Of Colman's time
taking ''mine ease at mine inn" But
throw the same provisions in a pen of
more active breeds, especially if they
are hungry, as they nearly always are,
and they will crowd each other in q
greedy scramble to devour Them II
the floor of your chicken house is lit
tered with Il covering of straw or
chan, The fowls in their greed to
deyour the grain are very apt to
take in some of the ''scatterings'
which have been placed there to ION
ceal partially the grain. Aud the re-
suit is sometimes rather disastrous to
the stock, often filling the crop with
inert and indigestible material.
| am certain, at any rate, that the
following of such advice so generally
given. has caused the loss of some
good birds; and has also necessitated
the surgical process of opening the i'm
paeted crops of others, which revealed
the fact that in their haste to devour
the grain they uuavoidably swallowed
some # its surroundings, and would
not have been. able to digest the mass
of MIXED material. The only way to
save them was to relnoye it by hand.
Such substances as short straws, grass,
and even light oats which are mostly
chati, are very difficult of digestion and
passage from the crop of a fowl, and
hence should be kept away from them
mostly. Much of the advice given in
print and otherwise is not ALWAYS safe
to follow, and intelligence and care on
the part of the breeder should always
be exercised in the feeding of his stock.
Especially have | noticed some absurd
theories aud directions on the treat
ment of domestic fowls, some of which,
if literally followed, would prove de-
structive to them. and others SO inert
and useless, that following them would
be time only wasted. Careful study of
and attention to the feeding and treat
mcnt # poultry are the main essentials

tilation are indispensable in every
dwelling to prevent the rising Of im-
pure atmosphere toward the roof.
Shut off the children's bedrooms from
the rest Of tho house, and open a win
dow somewhere near for the escape OF
the impure air.
An alarming practice, and one alto
gether too prevalent. is the burning Of
lamps in children's bed-chambers, and
this, too. all night with closed win
dows. Now, it should bc known that
the flame Of u lamp consumes vitalizing
portions of the air, and that a room in
which a light has been burning for
hours is not fit for sleeping in. In
addition 70 this evil, q burn.
Ing lamp produces another, and
that is, restless slumber. as the
light causes the brain to respond
even through the closed eyclids. and
thus make nm effort which should DO
avoided. Teach children to sleep In
the dark, by all means. They must, of
course. be prepared for bed by lamp
light in winter. but the room may be
instantly purified after the lamp is ex.
tinguished by opening the windows
and doors and letting IN fresh, cool air.
Teach o child also that it is Just rs
safe from all harm in the dark as in tho
light, and that it will be healthier and
happier, and 1t will believe it, because
children have inexhaustible faith in tho
mothers word. Never allow any ono
to tell children fcar-inspiring, hobgob.
lin stories. and don't punish them by
sending them or threatening to put
them in dark places; thus you will be
enabled easily to train them to sleep In

PURE DAIRY PRODUCTS,
The Importance of Maintaining n Certain
Standard of Purity In Milk.

The absolute necessity of MAINTAIN.
ing a certain standard of purity in
food-products has led, IN most of the
States. to a comprehensive aid some.
what stringent legislation concerning
adulteration. Particularly is this the
case as regards the products of the
dairy. The official inspection busies
itself with both the qualitative and
quantitative value of these articles. OF
all the foods supplied directly by nat.
ure, milk is the only one which con-
tains all the elements of nutrition in
the relative proportions required by
man, and in n form easy of digestion;
it is, therefore. the food best-suitcd to
young children and neutrality-suspicious.
who can Ill afford to have their food
tempered with in any way. This CON.
s%ideration. together with the universal
use Of the article. has determined the
adoption of a system Of public inspec-
ton in nearly all of u larger cities.
The States Of Massachusetts. New
York and Michigan have given par.
ticular attention ~ the honesty Of the
milkman. and the standards Of quality
and methods Of analysis established
by their public analysts have been
generally adopted by chemists all

the masterpieces Of both city and
country. ss
But there are. Of course, two sides
10 the question. Not unfrequontly
the milkman is accused entirely with.
out cause. There are few house.
keepers who do not sincerely be-
lieye, in spite Of an otherwise general
faith in mankind, that he. at least.
will bear watching. Tho analyst,
however. is a perfectly unprcjudiced
person. He cares little for the pro.
testations Of the vender, or the sus-
piclons Of the customer. He simply
says: you milk should have such
and such . specific gravity; it should
contain such and such percentages Of
fat, Of other hydrocarbons Of minera!
salts, and Of water: II II contain these,
it is m honest milk; il 1t do not, it Is
adulterated." And generally. tho
analyst is not open to argument. He
has implicit faith In his hydrometcr
and analytical balance. Prof G. Han.
