A Good Mixer.

There is no person more valuable upon
farm than good mixer, and there is no
rarer individual, says the Dairy World
The first requisite is an even temper and
perfect self-control. The essentials are a
complete knowledge of the cows condition,
so that any disease of the udder may be
prevented, or if occurring, be promptly
and properly treated. A calm, quiet ma
ner, the use of the whole hand, and an
even pressure, so that the animal is not
compelled to endure torture. The skill
requisite for good mixer is only ac-
quired by long practice, but there are GER
tain people naturally better constituted
than others to excel in this particular. 1t
is absolutely essential that the mixer
should be habitually neat and careful to
be scrupulously so when milking. The
bag should be carefully washed with clean,
tepid water, and wiped with a soft cloth
before milking begins. Only person who
can be thoroughly trusted in the care of
himself,.or of the cows and of the milk can
be regarded as good mixer, and such a
person must ever command good wages.

The MotherlY Cow.

You who think COW not. worth keep
ing that is not Irregular rustler," go into
the barnyard one of these cold or rainy
fall mornings and see one of your regular
rustlers" standing bumped up and shiver-
ing over wee baby cali, licking it to keep
it warm; note the suffering and reproach
in her eyes as she looks at you and then at
her shivering baby, as if asking you to
take it to place of comfort. If you can
look her straight in the eye and your
heart not reproaeh you for such abuse, you
are not tit to be farmer, and ought to go
into the butcher business. One of our
farmers and breeders, who always took the
best Of care of his stock, says that since he
has thought of the claims of motherhood
in connection with the COWS, he has re-
doubled his care and kindness to them,
and finds an increase in his profits thereby,
besides the satisfaction of well-doing. Do
you suppose such man sees the necessity
of fearing pair of horns and saving them
off. Not bit of it-Fd1m, Stock and

Shaping Dressed Fowls.

Good prices for dressed poultry depend
largely upon the appearance it makes in
the market. The following suggestions
are given by writer for improving the
shape and for packing: Immediately after
being plucked and when still warm, the
birds are placed breast downward, on the
shaping board. This is something like
a large wooden V-shaped gutter made of
two boards, each about six inches wide, the
angle at which they are joined being
slightly less than right-angle. The birds
are placed breast downward, the hook joint
in the angle of the boards, and as soon as
a board is filed with birds, another fiat
piece of timber is placed on the top, and
this is heavily weighted The birds are
allowed to remain here until fairly cold,
when they are packed for market.-The
Pacific Farmer.

SUCCESS With Swine

Theodore Lewis, the well-known swine
breeder of Wisconsin, owes his success to
the care he takes of his stock. In a
cholera-infested district his hogs are al
ways free from infection, although he
raises them by the hundreds. The mother
sows have variety of food and little
corn, with warm, clean quarters. In each
of the yards, in box sheltered from the
storm, can be found mixture Of salt,
charcoal and copperas, to which the hogs
have free access at all times. Then they
have loads of soft sandstone where they
can get at it, and they eat tons of it each
year. He considers it pays to give the
hogs an occasional bushel OF soft coal

Potash Fertilizers for Fruit.

A late report from the Massachusetts,
Experiment Station, says that potash
fertilizers have decidedly improved the
desirable qualities of fruits. Wherever
the percentage of this element has been
raised, the change is accompanied by an
increase of sugar and decrease of acid.
This, 1t is hardly necessary to say, is an
important and desirable change matter
of dollars and cents. Other things being
equal, the fruit with the largest per cent.
of sugar will bring the largest price.
Moreover, less desirable varieties may be
brought up to higher standard, thus Civ
ing value to such in quality, hardness and
prolific bearing. The fact that the
quality and character of garden and orchard
products can be modified by the effect of
special fertilizers, is of immense import
ance in is practical as well as scientific

How Milk is Formed.

Just how milk is formed in the udder is
yet complicated problem, but the idea
seems growing that the COW stores up blood in
some form in the udder during the period
between milkings, and that is elaborated
into milk in its passage through the NAM
military glands at the time of milking.
This is the belief of Professor J. w. Rob
ertson, after several years study and ex-
perimental investigation. A singular con-
tirmation of this is of recently reported
case of heifer that gave milk from the
beginning, the serums of which was blood
with Its full accompaniment of red corp
uscles. Nature had not even filtered it in
passing through the glands, matter we
see confirmed every little while by COW
giving bloody milk If milk is not elabor-
ated blood, then bloody milk could not
have an existence.

The school-Rook Steal.

The people of California can congratu-
late themselves upon having escaped from
the power and demoralizing influence of
the syndicate of school-book publishers,
and they should watch closely that the
combined efforts being made by the old
ring shall not succeed in breaking up the
present economic method of the State pub
fishing its own books. Oregon seems to be
just now enjoying the delights of the old
system, as the following eaustic item in
The Paelic Farmer, published at Portland,
would indicate:
'The Oregon Statesman says it is reported
Sacramento daily record-union., 1888-12-01

that the..school-book monopoly have Sc
cured twenty out of the twenty-nine county
school superintendent in favor of another
change in the textbooks in the public
schools. If this is so it has been brought
about by bribery and corruption. There
is not single reason in support OF this
change, and none has ever been offered in
the press of the State The Legislature
should promptly act on this matter as soon
as it comes together in January, and pass
an Act annulling the decision of these hum
bug county uperintendents, the great ma
jority of whom have not common sense
enough to come in out of the rain, but inst
enough to sell out for a very small price"

A CANNIBAL IoYL.

A eannibal maiden loved too well

And he loved her, but dare not tell
His love-for thus it stood:
A cannibal she and clergyman he,
And their creeds were wide apart;
And how could he take, for sentiments sake
A cannibal TO his heart?
Oh, twas problem vexing, very,
For the cannibal maid and the mission

Indeed it was.
But the cannibal maiden's love grew bold,
For she was simple thing;
And thus her love to her love she told
Ah marry me Be my king

Oh, must, for love you so p
Oh, twas problem vexing, very,

eyes,
With their wealth of love and trust,
And he cried, in the flush of glad surprise;
All well. if | must. l must p

Acts of heroism in medical life are so
frequent and appear to be so natural a
part of it that they are not chronicled as
often as they should be. One such deed,
however, recently found its way into the
British Medical Journal, where it was men
toned as an illustration of the selfsacri-
fee of medical men in behalf of suffering
humanity. 1t is the case of a surgeon in
the British army named Landon. Mortaliy
wounded himself, and with the grasp of
death rapidly closing down on him, he
heard a wounded soldier crying out from
the sharp pain of his hurt. Forgetful of
self he crept with difficulty to where the
man lay and gave him a hypodermic in
lection of morphia to lessen his suffering,
and, having given it, lay down and died
beside the soldier-Medical Nelrs
