Capital Watch Dogs and . Terror TO

"The bull-terrier Is q capital watch !

New York.
He never barks, because he feels
that he can deal unaided with any
burglar, and, in nine cases out OF ten,
he Is right. 1t is all tooth with him,
and a robber rarely knows that he is
present until he feels him. But in this
line OF business he is not favorite with
refined people. You see, there are no
bounds to the ferocity OF bull-terrier,
when he is once aroused, and the life

rier to tho widow Of a clergyman. She
lived in a lonely house 10 Wostchoster
County, and before she had owned the
dog a week a burglar climbed through
the basement window. He saw the ter
rier in the dining-room and managed
to Chamber up on the high mantel-
piece. 1t was bitterly cold night in
midwinter, and he chung there SILVER
ing for several hours, while the dog
hungrily licked his jaws underneath.
The lady kept no servant, and when
she entered the room in the morning
she was at first terribly frightened; but
the fellow told her such a pitiful story
OF his sufferings that she was moved
to compassion. She gave him two dol
lars and good breakfast and allowed
him to go away. Then she sent the
dog back to me, advising me to shoot
him, as such a savage. remorseless
brute was clearly unfit to live. Bull
terriers and the widows Of clergymen
have no common ground upon which
they can amicably meet
II doubt, too, whether bull terriers,
faithful. brave, strong and watchful as
they are, have very much intelligence.
Certainly they have not as much as the
Scotch or the old-fashioned Skye;
mean the big, silky-haired Skye, from
which the delicate little thing, like a
miniature portrait Of his ancestors, has
been bred for lady's lap-dog. A
prominent lawyer of New Haven
bought fine bull terrier from me
about year ago. On the second night
after the dog had been in his possession
the gentleman was guest at a supper
party and did not reach home until the
small hours of the morning. The ter
rier met him at the gate OF his orchard
and drove him up an apple tree. where
he held him prisoner until the family
arose at breakfast time. The dog ha(
only seen him half dozen times ant
he did not recognize him. This is I

tor remarks: eff method could be

such vessels than is obtained in any

Fibrin in Milk.

A substance found by him in milk,
which is identical with or analogous to
what forms fibrin in blood, Dr. Bah
cock calls locto .fbrip. The amount
is small, he believes not often "more
than from two or three ten-thou
sandths Of one per cent, and "the
amount may be considerably less than
this +" Yet his experiments indicate
that this almost enthusiastically small
amount of lacto ,fJrin constitutes a
serious obstacle in the way of raising
cream and churning the butter out Of
it. If undisturbed, the fbrin forms
an invisible network all through the
mass of milk, and when broken into
clots these retain even air bubbles as
well as globules Of fat and either pre-
vent their rising at all or come to the
surface with them. Sudden cooling
to low temperature prevents this
fibrin from coagulating, while warm
or summer temperature and stirring
or agitation both favor coagulation.
The serum of the milk is loaded with
casein, albumen and milk sugar, all of
which tend to make it thick and Wis
cous, and the cooler they are the
more viscous is the milk, making it
the more difficult for the fat globules
to rise through it. Yet this does not
seem to interfere so much with the
rising of the cream as does the coag-
ulum of the small amount of fibrin.
Tactic acid dissolves this coagulam,
and the Doctor says: "This action of
the acid appears to be the cause Of
the better yield of butter from ripened
cream, as the addition of acid to sweet
cream before churning will give as
much butter as if the cream were
ripened in the natural way" This il
the'best explanation of the philosoph,

Milk for Cheese.

A COW that gives a large mess of
fairly rich milk, as to solids, may be a
good cheese COW, but not worth much
for butter; or, she may give milk rich
in butter fat, but in globules so small
that they do not separate freely and
perfectly from the milk, and be a
good cheese COW, or producer of milk
for market, but be improbable for
butter making The market does not
demand very rich cheese, that con-
tanning 2S to 30 per cent. of fat bring
ing about as much as that containing
40 per cent. and hence it is not profit
able to make very rich milk into
cheese. But it is desirable to retain
i'll the cheese all the fat there is in
the milk. For this reason, milk for
cheese making needs to be handled
very differently from milk for butter
making. For the latter you cannot
strain the milk too soon nor too warm
from the COW, and set it for creaming.
But for cheese making, you cannot
stir and air milk too much in clean
atmosphere, nor cool it too soon. The
same is true of milk for market. 1t
is desirable for both purposes to keep
the cream from separating from the
milk as much as possible. 1t may be
ioti sss.cii-iusasSaa aaliisss gporated with the
milk again, but not as evenly .snd
thoroughly as it is distributed through
the milk before separation. When
made into cheese, constant stirring of
the milk is required while it is heat
ing for setting, and especially after
the rennet is added until it begins to
show signs Of coagulating. If stirred
longer, the curd will not be solid.
But stirring up to this point is the
only thing that will prevent oil from
rising and floating on the surface of
the whey, to run off with it, unless it
is skinned Oft. A very little will
make quite show and annoy by ad-
herring to everything that it touches;
but when saved it is Of little use, I'M
less it may be in cooking. The better
way is to carefully retain it in the
milk by stirring as long as it is safe,
so that the fat globules will become
entangled in the curd, to give quality
to the cheese.

Milk for Chickens.

1t is not every one that is aware
that hens are very fond Of milk, which
is as good for them as it is for pigs.
Mix a little corn meal with skinned
milk, and you have luxury for
chickens. One brought up on farm,
where an open swill barrel was the
order of the day, will remember many
and many a hen drowned in it-a
pretty good proof that the contents
were relishable, or the hens would not
have sacrificed their lives in trying to
get them. Hens are fond of loppered
milk, which is excellent for them !;
but of course they need other more
condensed and solid food in addition.
If you have hens-every farmer and
dairyman ought to have few-ar-
range to give them supply Of skim
med milk. They will take it with the
pigs, if they can get at the trough I;
but this is not the best way to feed
them. Give them a trough by them
selves, where they will not be moles-
ted, nor molest anything else.

A Butter Ration.


creased or diminished by the ration?
Science, as well as practice, says,
"Yes;" but all the other solids will be
increased and diminished in the same
ratio, at the same time. This is what
is meant by the talk about the ''pro-
portion" of fat to other solids not be-
ing increased or diminished by the
feed. The solids as whole are very
materially affected by it. A very in
teresting and instructive case is rela-
ted by the Mark Lane Express as oc-
curing at one of the English agricul-
tural colleges.
One month after calving, good
Irish COW, up to that time receiving
nothing but pasture grass, was fed 81
pounds of crushed oats night and
morning, for two weeks, and made s
pounds of butter per week.
The next two weeks, 81 pounds of
decorticated cotton-seed cake was
given night and morning, with s
pounds of butter per week as the
Weld, hi1t tho. buttc4.-.sPas' of ttiiss'saaeej
texture and higher color.
Then followed two weeks of Il
pounds each of the cotton-seed cake
and crushed oats, making the ration 3
pounds, night and morning, when the
butter yield was increased to 10
pounds per week. 1t will be noted
that by combining the two there was
saving of l pound Of feed daily and
an increase of 2 pounds of butter per
week. This shows the advantage Of
combining foods.
This improvement was followed by
feeding night and morning equal
parts of preparation OF palmnut
meal, crushed oats, decorticated cot
ton-seed cake, and bran-wheat bran,
we suppose. The COW received 3
pounds of this mixture each time or 6
pounds day. The result was an in
crease of the yield of butter to IA
pounds per week!-a still more strik-
ING illustration of the advantages of a
mixed ration as more likely to supply
all the required elements of food.
A return for two weeks to the
crushed oats ration of 81 pounds
night and morning, reduced the yield
of butter to 6 pounds per week!
Then permanent return was made
to the ration of palm-nut meal, cotton
seed meal, crushed oats, and bran
when the butter yield ran up to II Oh
13 pounds per week, where it re
