1t is now pretty generally conceded
that the highest development OF milk
production can not exist in an animal
having pronounced tendency to lay
on flesh, so that the evolution oil the

The embryo mixer should be saved
from tendency to fattcn, and should,
therefore, be fed on heterogeneous, rather
than carbonaceous foods, notably from

SHRINKING OF TIMBER.

Precautions which viii Enable Wood-
Workers to Turn Out Good Work.
The various kinds Of oak, aud some
other kinds of timber will shrink moro
or less every time the surface is
dressed off. even small fraction OF an
inch. Wheelwrighis accustomed to
the work are well aware Of this fact.
and a correct appreciation of 1t en-
ables them to turn out work Of >u-
perior character. even of ordinary ma
terials, by first blocking up the pieces
roughly, then allowing the timber TO
season, and afterward working the va
rious parts by degrees, as the season
ing process becomes more and
more complete. White-oak spoke tim.
Der. for instance, may be allowed to re-
main in rough state for half score OF
years under shelter without becoming
seasoned so thoroughly without that
the timber will not shrink after the
spokes have been dressed out. Car.
riage wheels have often been made OF
the choicest quality OF oak timber
after every spoke has been sea-
soned for several years, and, to the
great surprise of the wheelwright.
every spoke would work in the joints
before the vehicle had been run three
months. The defect in such instances
could not be attributed to inferior
timber, nor to perfunctory workman
ship; but simply to this one circum-
stance-that the parts Of the wheel
were put together before the timber
had ceased to shrink. To prove that
the best quality OF oak will shrink
after spoke has been dressed out, let
q tenon be made on one end and be
driven Immediately into mortise;
after few days exposure in a warm
workshop the spokes may be with
drawn with little difficulty. The same
fact will hold good in the manufacture
of wood work of any kind where oak
is employed for lemons. In order to
make joints that will never start, tho
piece on which the lemons are made
should be dressed several times. until
Tho shrinking has ceased. Then let
the lemons be made. After these have
shrunk, while exposed in the drying
Influences of warm workshop, the
epokes or other parts may be driven

assurance, especially If they are dipped
in oil paint previous TO driving, that

Differences in Churns.

II is not so much upon the churn n:
the person who uses it that the guam
tity and quality Of the butter depends
Churns vary considerably in effective
ness. which is in proportion to the de
gree of agitation of the cream in them.
The old fashioned up-and down churr
will make quite as good and as much
butter as any other. but with greatly
more labor and expenditure OF time.
And churns differ mostly in this re.
spect. But those who use churns differ
very much more. The churning should
be done rapidly in those churns which
are deficient In the requisite agitatine
action or conclusion upon the cream,
and it should be stopped always when
the butter is in small grains. We have
used churns for nearly fifty years, and
have tried great many in that time,
but have found no difference in regard
to the kind of butter made in any way
when each has been skillfully used, but
otherwise there is great difference.
The difference in the time and ease oil
churning, however. is very great. The
best modern churn is only one-tenth as
hard to work as the old-fashioned one

Plenty Of Good Water.

A COW giving milk naturally requires
more water than a dry COW. In add
dition TO the demands of her system,
about IS per cent. of which is water,
she must have what is put into her
milk, about 81 per cent. of which is
water. This supply OF water, if not
pure, must be free from all deleterious
ingredients, held either mechanically
or in solution. Whatever is in liquid
form enters most readily into the circu-
lation, to either nourish or poison and
disarrange the system. Indeed, moth.
ing goes into circulation that is moi
first reduced to a liquid or gaseous
form. Food for animals and plants
must be soluble, or it is not digestible
and the more soluble it Is, the more
available it is for the purposes o.
nutrition. 1t is important, therefore
that all foods should be in soluble
condition, or SO that they can be readily
converted into that condition; and thai
all liquids fed to animals should con
taia no injurious ingredients. Clean
wholesome water is prime necessit,
in she dairy.-Dairy World.

Keep the Cows Warm.

3. Frosty nights will soon be in order,
in conjunction with cold winds and
rains. Shelter from the inclement ele-
ments should be provided for his cows
by every intelligent dairyman. Not
only humanity but economy demands
1t. The pores of tho skin have been
well opened by the hot weather, and
the whole system has been relaxed by
an excess OF succulent food. As mat
ter Of course, the cows system is lily
prepared TO resist the sudden changes
of cold and wet, and is chilled to the
marrow. This causes not only discom-
fort, but an abnormal shrinkage in the
ilow of milk. Hence. if the COWS are
not put into warm stable when the
cold rains come and the frosts gather
during the night, they should at least
have the shelter of comfortable sheds
that will protect them from the wind,
rain and frost. 1t Is n short1sighted
dairyman who will neglect:so give his
animals comfortable shelter.-Dairy

A Eoia coyote.

On Thursday afternoon two ladies
drove out 70 the Holstein ranch 10 &
buggy. and when they bad nearly
reached it they wei sta. 81 to OBJ
serve that iu''-siled COYOTE was
sitting on his launches by The road
side, calmly .veylng the visitors.
They stopped the horse and took a
good look at the animal, who was
sit.iag quietly Oh his dignity not
over thirty feet away. They then
drove past him and he gaped at
them as if he were tired. After the
buggy passed he followed it 10
within about three hunG: ed yards
OF the house, and then sat down on
his launches again.
LIr. Sleeter, man employed on
the ranch, then got into the buggy,
and taking a double bar, elled shot
gan loat,ed with nothing but fine
bird shot, drove down The coy
ote, on seeing the buggy coming
back, advanced TO meet it, and
wien about twenty yards away got
a charge OF shot in the face, and as
he wheeled to SO, another in the
side, which BOWED him over, and
he died in lew minutes.
1t is supposed that he followed
the buggy because fresh meat had
been carried in it but few hours
before. He measured about four
feet from tip TO tip.

Lady Commis,e Clerks.

A lady has written to the APPEAL
to know if it is . fact that the
ladies are to be barred out of Legis-
lative clefkships this Winter, and il
SO, what reason is ascribed. The
APPEAL knows OF no authority
which has the right to say that no
ladies shall be allowed positions in
the Legislature.
There was growing, however,
two years ago, and in fact on sew
eral other occasions, because ladies'
were holding positions as Committee
clerks. Ladies are frequently out
of place on such occasions, merely
because they are ladies. Suppose

smoke, and some feel that they had

ent who objects to tobacco. These
are some of the reasons why

ions.
