DAIRY HINTS.

Professor i. Il. Arnold once said that
"a cow going into n stable filled with
the odor Of the solid and LIQUID cycrc-
mcntS will carry it into her milk in iif-
teen minutes For this reason he in
sistS that stables should be ventilated in
such II way that pure air will come to
the cattle from the front. True, and
this is one Of the reasons why Il cow barn
should have wide barn floor through
the centre; why the cows should stand
with their heads toward the centre, and
have wide space behind them, with large
grated and wire screened windows be
hind them and wide stable doors mt both
ends Of the stable, and big barn doors
at both ends of the centre floor. This
arrangement of stables and floors, aided
hy plaster busted upon the we'll cleaned
stable floors, will make IL suitable habi-
tation for Il clean cow TO dwell in.
The albuminoidS in whey are as one to
81 in skim milk, while the other solids
are nearly tn" same in both. Chemists,
IN comparing the feeding value, make
that of whey at eleven cents to twenty
three cents for skim milk, or about half
as much per 100 pounds.
lh'lt ~ SlCHI ntcu tlat LARGE prO
portion of the yearly milk supply should
he diverted from II summer to n winter
flow. Butter is nroasonably cheap in
summer, because so great majority of
the farmers have their cows calvc i'm the
spring Hence there is but little profit
gained from the COW. Ii is also un
reasonably dear in winter, because so few
COWS are made to Calvc i'm the fall.
There needs to be better balancinr
up of the yearly milk supply, so that less
milk should he produced in summer and
more in winter. This wonld cuualizc
the prices for the whole year, greatly in
crease th" consumption in the winter.
and in the end bring great profit to the
drirymcn. II is well to remember that
II costs only about ten per cent more
IL keep cow in good milking condition
than 1t docs to keep her dry, as she ought
To hc kept, while the returns from winter
milk are fully thirty per cent more than
from summer milk.

nRINK AND INSANITY.


Mr.. Wines says: ut is startling to know
over 400, 900 are either insane, idiots or deaf
tories or poor-houscs If to these we add the
outdoor poor and the inmates of charitable
institutions the amount will swell to nearly
or quito GOO, 900, or per cent. of tho popula
ton" At that rate the number would now
be about GOO,OOO. But we will keep to tho
records OF 1880, and consider only the 400
600 who were inmates of charitable institu-
tons or that number the 7O,0 600 who were
prisoners and the e. 900 who were pauperS

must be employed ut great eHpense,, the eH-
pense of maintaining these defective per

mate one-third OF these disabilities to- be duo
to intemperance actual or inherited, we
shall have SIT 600 annual loss to the ma
ton from, the insanity, blindness, deafness
aud other disabilities which intemperance
produces. The relation Of insanity to intem-
perancc is a point deserving careful study.
State and Natioual Boards now greatly
exercised over the rapid nnh undcniable in

whether ratio does not exist bctw"cu that
