Potatoes aud Rye Mixed Together and
Baked in Thin Cakes.
Bread-ma1ing was another industry
which we had good opportunity of
seeing while we changed horses at one
of the stations.
Contrary to our expectations, we
found white bread everywhere, but the
common bread is heavy bread, the
chief Ingredient of which is rye. II is
always sour; the good housewife in

bread, made of potatoes and rye. 1t

women whom we happened in upon

QUALITY OF MILK.
Richness of the Laeteal Fluid at Differ
ent Periods of Milking.


Several large coffee-cups having beer
successfully filled from one COW, till
she was quite dry, the following re-
suits appeared, great care having beer
taken to weigh the cups to ascertain
that they held exactly the same guam.
tity:
In every case the quantity of cream
was found to increase in proportion as
the process of milking advanced. In
different COWS the proportion varied.
but in the CREATE number the excess
of cream in the last cup, as compared
with the first. was as sixteen to one;
in some it was not so considerable
therefore, as an average, it may be
called as ten or twelve to one.
The difference in the quality OF the
two sorts of cream was no less strik-
ing: the cream given by the first
drawn milk was thin, white and with
out consistence, while that furnished
by the last was thick, buttery and of a
rich color.
The milk remaining in the different
cups presented similar differences
that which was drawn first was very
poor, blue and had the appearance OF
milk and water; that in the last cup
was of a yellowish hue, rich and. to
the eve and taste, resembled cream
rather than milk.
1t appears, therefore. from these
avnerimentS. that IT, after drawing
seven or eight pints from COW. hall
a pint remains in the udder. not only
almost as much cream will be lost az
the seven or eight pints will furnish,
but that of the best quality, and which
gives the richest taste and color 70
butter. This fact has been corrobo-
rated by chemical experiments, and
holds good with respect to goats AM

ARTESIAN WELLS

One Of the Most Important Modern Nat
uraI Improvement of Dakota.
The artesian cells of Dakota are
probably the most remarkable for pres
sure, and the immense quantity of
water supplied, of any ever opened.
More than a hundred of such wells,
from 500 to 1000 feet deep, are to-day
in successful operation, distributed
throughout twenty-nine counties, from
Yankton, in the extreme south, to Penn
bina, in the extreme north. giving forth
a constant, never-varying stream,
which is in no wise affected by the i'm
creased number of wells, and showing
gauge pressure in some instances as
high as 100, 40. Us and 1877 pounds to
the square inch. This tremendous
power is utilized. in the more impOr-
tant towns, for water supply, fire pro-
lection, and the driving Of machinery,
at wonderful saving on the original
cost of plant and maintenance. when
compared with steam. In the city of

would have been the cost of a steam

sary chad steam been employed) for
fuel, repairs and the salaries OF engi-
neer and fireman. What has been ac-
complished through the aid Of natural
gas and cheap fuel in building up
manufactures elsewhere, may some
day be rivaled on the prairies of Dako-

stored in natures reservoirs beneath
the surface. p. T. Mcclure, in Har-
