SETTING MILK.
A Dairyman Gives the Results of Some
Interesting Experiments.

A Dairyman Gives the Results OF Somo
Interesting Experiments.
Mr.. j. w. Hart, of the Alabama Ex-
pertinent Station, writing to the Breed
er's Gazette says:
To determine the difference In the
yield of butter in using the De Laval
horizontal hand separator. and Cooley
cans an experiment has recently been
made Commencing September the
test was continued for six days; on three
days-the 7th, 9th and 11th-the sepa-
rator was used, while the Cooley cans
were used on the Sth, 10th and 18th.
The milk was the total yield of eleven
registered Jersey cows. Pasturage be
ing scanty they were fed upon small
ration of coarse fodder with about 30
pounds of a mixture of corn, oats and
bran in equal quantities, and Is pounds
of cotton-seed meal morning and night.
Milking commenced at 5:15 q. IN. and
4:15 p. m. and was finished in about
forty-five minutes.
To facilitate churning quantity of
milk was added to the cream obtained
from the separator, which makes the
amount of cream recorded in the table
greater than the amount separated by
the machine. Twelve hours before
churning the cream wag mixed, thor
oughly stirred, and allowed to ripen.
In churning, the treatment of the cream
in both cases was as nearly alike as the
difference in the two methods of separa-
tion would admit Of The granular but
ter was washed twice in cold water, and
the same number of times in strong
brine, then salted at the rate of one
half ounce to the pound and Immediate
ly pressed into pound prints.
On September the temperature was
not reduced low enough to obtain all
the cream. On September 0 the small
amount of butter-9 pounds, 2 ounces
can be accounted for by the fact that tho
cream had not been ripened, being al
most sweet.
From the results recorded in the table
it appears that there was little differ
ence between the two systems in the
amount of butter obtained. The butter,
during the experiment, was uniform in
quality, selling readily at thirty-five
cents per pound. In setting milk in the
Cooley cans a little more labor was nee
essary In the item of cost the advan-
tage was on the side of the De Laval
separator. For each pound of butter
made from the Cooley cream of Septem-
ber 10 and 12 ten cents was expended
for ice, which tends to show that the
use of ice in cream separation is alto
gether too expensive in this climate.
Taking every thing into consideration

our conditions the centrifugal is more
economical than the deep-setting system
of creaming milk.

History and Description OF One of
the Handsomsst of North American
Shrubs.
Ii is singular fact, says Garden
and Forest, that with the exception of
the poor figure in Audubon's "Birds'
no portrait has been published before of
this shrub, which is by far the
handsomest of the North American
viburnums, and one of the most beautiful
plants of our flora The fact that 1t is
impatient of cultivation-for the hob
blebush, or moose-wood, as this vibur-
mum is often called at the North, is the
most difficult of all our native shrubs to
cultivate--probably accounts for this
lack of figures, as American plants have
been figured generally in European pub
locations from specimens obtained in
European gardens. Vf6urnum Ianta-
nodes was not included in either edition
of the "Hortus Kewensis," and 1t is
doubtful if it has lowered in a garden
very often Ia small plant lowered in
the Arnold Arboretum this year,. or
that many persons who are not familiar
with our woods in early spring have
ever seen it in all its beauty.
1t is tall stout shrub, with naked
winter buds, reaching occasionally to
height of twelve to fifteen feet, with
short, tortuous stems, rather bare of

branches, and covered with smooth,
dark brown bark, that of the square or
angled shoots being red and marked
during the second year by numerous
white dots. The leaves are confined to
the ends of the branches They are
round-ovate, abruptly acuminate, sharp
lyand doubly serrate, pinnately straight
veined, the prominent veins connected
by conspicuous transverse veinlets; six
inches long when fully grown by
nearly as much broad. They are densely
scurfy-pubescentw when they first appear,
as are the broad, stout petioles, the in
forescence, buds and shoots of the year.
The flowers are produced in radial
cymes, the marginal being neutral, with
enlarged, fiat hydrangea-like corollas,
an inch or more across. The inflores-
cence begins to unfold late in April or
early in May, the neutral flowers OPEN
ing first. The leaves are then an inch
or an inch and half long, and con-
spicuous from the broad, prominent
veins covered with dense brown to-
mentum. The flowers are fully open
month later, and the fruit ripens in
September. 1t is coral red as it reaches
maturity, turning dark crimson or
purple when fully ripe, ovoid, rather
flattened and half an inch long. The
stone is fiattened, three-grooved on one
face, deeply and broadly grooved on the
other.
Vi6u7nue ldntdnOides is found in the
forests of New Brunswick and Canada,
extending southwark through the APP
palachian Mountains as far as the high
peaks of North Carolina ands Tennessee,
where it attains on the high Western
slopes of the Big Smoky Mountains its
greatest development, and where
specimens fully fifteen feet high of al
most arborescent habit are not uncom-
mon.
1t approaches the coast at a few points
in Eastern Massachusetts. but its true
home is far north, or on the high mount
aims. The hobblebush delights in
rather moist soil and in the deep shade
of deciduous trees, where it often quite
covers the ground, and enlivens in early
spring the forests of sugar maple. beech
and birch of Northern New England,
New York and of the shores of the great
lakes, with it's snowy white flowers,
and again with the deep, rich claret
coloring of its unsurpassed autumn foil
age.
Mr.. Dawson has tried various exper-
iments in his attempts to cultivate this
plant. He finds that when it is grated
upon ViJurnum dentatum it grows much
more vigorously than it does upon its
own roots, but that it will not unite
with Y. Ldntana. Grated plants two
years old are already larger than wild
plants taken from the woods five or six
years ago.

A Reward of Merit.

While Tiberius was luXuriating at
Capree, an artist, who labored under
the Emperors displeasure, discovered
the composition of malleable glass, and
making vase of the most exquisite
beauty, the secret of whose construction
was known only to himself, he begged
leave to present it. The Emperor stood
with his court about him, and when he
had returned the vase, which had eX-
cited universal wonder, the artist, to
every ones CONSERVATION, threw it vio-
lently upon the earth. The first emotion
in the circle must have boen that the
man was mad, the next that the vase
was in splinters; to every ones surprise
1T was simply o little dented on one side.
and the artist with few slight taps of
his hammer restored it at once to its
original shape. The Emperor, thinking
that an art which could do so much with
common sand and few other equally
common materials would naturally di.
minish the value of gold and silver and
brass, instantly ordered the artist to
execution. IIarper's Bazaar.

Poultry,

An Important Aid in the Rearing of
Poultry.
Every thing which aids in the devel-
opment of the poultry business and in
creases its profits is hailed with interest.
The accompanying design shows an easi'
ly-made arrangement for holding grain,
which is of much value as saver of
time and economy, because it keeps the
food before the fowls clean. The trough
labeled A is two inches deep and the
front of the supply box reaches the top
of this trough. This leaves free pass
age for grain from the chest into the
trough. The dotted line, b, shows
where the board is placed which carries
the grain into the trough as fast as it is
eaten out by the fowls.
The platform, c, is where the hens
stand while eating. 1t must not be
wide, or they will form the habit of sit
ting upon it. The board marked ID is a
shelf extending over the trough and
must be wide enough to prevent all
filth from reaching the food.
The cover of the box may extend a
little over the front to facilitate its
opening. 1t should always be inclined
at steep pitch to prevent the fowls
from roosting upon it. The back of the

eight steers, almost entirely on cut

and never had any cattle gain faster.
The COWS gave good yield of milk and

am firmly convinced that most farmers
who do not use silage could feed a great
deal of cut straw and meal with more
profit than hay. Mr.. Waldo f. Brown
tells of farmer in Ohio who, after his
wheat ground is prepared, and before
drilling in the seed, burns thin coat
ing of straw all over the field, and
thinks it pays well for the straw and the
labor of putting it on by the increased
yield of grain and the destruction of in
sert pets.

Every farm would be benefited If .t

But on any farm some place can bs

flied by having clumps Of trees. Whero
there are streams their banks can be
utilized for tree growing. We have often

CATARRH.

Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be a fact and
the result of this discovery Is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

The green cabbage worm is discouraged

THE green cabbage worm is discouraged
by the following treatment: Two
quarts of coal-tar are put into an open
vessel, which is set in the bottom of a
barrel, and the barrel is filled with
water. In forty-eight hours the water
is impregnated with the odor of the
tar. although the tar is not dissolved in
it. The water is then sprinkled abun-
dainty on the cabbages, and the odor
penetrates every portion of the head,
killing or driving away the worms. AS
the water evaporates no stain or odor
remains on the cabbages. The same
quantity of coal-tar can be made to inn
pregnate several successive barrels Of
water.

Cherry Trees for Shade.

1t has been repeatedly urged that
fruit trees should be set out on various
parts of the farm, but this plan has not
been followed for various reasons. Many
people who plant trees for shade for
stock plant those which bear no fruit,
although they make excellent shade.
We think it would be much better to
combine the two good qualities and SO
benefit both man and beast.
Some varieties of cherry trees are
hardy, grow to good size and bear excel
lent fruit. This fruit does not fall off,
will rot injure stock, and is generally
marketable. The trees grow fast and
generally live to good age. They
afford excellent shelter from the sun,
their foliage being very dense. OF
course, not all kinds of cherry trees
have these good qualities, but the same
is true of any other class of trees. 1t
costs little more to raise these than
forest trees, the only difference being in
the original cost; this will be repaid in
the fruit.-Farm and Fireside.
