The Cause of "Cowy" Milk.

Sometimes milk has Q ''cowy" odor,
and the cause Is little und erstood, writes
G. w., in Country Gentleman. Cows
drink large quantities Of water and not
bali of it passes on through the kidneys.
When in health and the skin clean, by
far the larger part finds an outlet
through the pores OF the skin and takes
along with it effete matte and offensive
odors which are thrown CT through the
fine capillaries with the perspiration.
Proper action of the skin is as necessary
for the publication OF the blood as is
the healthy action Of the lungs. When
milk has ''cowy" odor. it is certain
that the skin is not working right, but
allow the impurities to be thrown back
into the blood, whence some Of them
find their way back into the milk. maxi
ing it smell of the COW. This suggests
that to have pure milk and sweet but
Ser, the skin must be kept clean and
tree from the scurf which fills up the
pores; frequent grooming is the easiest
way. Casan cors do not gice ''coacy" mtLk.
For the same reason most people
afflicted with diabetes are those who
neglect pcrso al cleanliness. Incipient
cases of this malady can sometimes he
remedied by judicious bathing, and so
can offensive odors OF the person.

BETTER BUTTER WANTED.

Why the Dsiry school II Bound to Come
to the Front.
Successful dairying means economical
feeding to get the greatest amount OF
produce from the feed consumed. Its
cost should be reduced to the lowest.
1t is q sad truth that four acres arc re-
quired to summer . COW, besides the
grain she has, and two acres more
are needed for her winter food. Can not
this be remedied, and while the cost Of
feeding is less have the produce and
profits greater? BY the use OF the :ilo
one acre will keep two cows for q year,
II grain be supplied to 60 with it. Not
only do the times demand cheaper food,
but we have the means furnished to
supply it. An ensilage ration OF less
than ~ cents per day per COW, and five
cents worth OF bran, produces . milk
yield that brings me SO cents daily.
Surely the silo has solved the cheap
food problem for me, and we can make
milk cheaper in winter than in summer.
The dairyman OF the times needs edu-
eating. Relief will not como from legis-
lative enactments. No Legislature can
make COW give more milk, nor cheaper
her ration. This can only be accom-
complished by tho active brain Of the
farmer. He who surmounts these diff
culties has no need Of State help nor a
bounty on what he produces. The most
CALLING yoke he wears ia the slavery of
his own ignorance. C. r. Beach. the
most noted OF all Wisconsin dairymen,
said he never thought about his taxes.
the oppression Of capital, syndicates
and railroad monopolies unless some
one who wanted Office called them to his
attention. As fast a. we lift the dairy
man up, 50 fast will oppression vanish.
For this purpose the dairy school will
coming to the front. Here ways and
systems can be made plain in brief tut
lions. and graduates can be given cre-
dentials. In q school Of this kind COM
petent men will graduate with little
loss of time. Europe is already dotted
with these government schools. and
even Finland has six.-John Gould, In

being; 1t was very amusing TO hear her.
She was full OF mischief. II serv.
ant was called, she would answer
lherself unseen). sharply: "What"
and when the servant was reprovcd for
his lack OF respect she would shout with
laughter.
She learned from the nowsboys on
the street. very naughty words, which
was finally the cause of our having to
part with her. From her hanging cage
on one Of the front vcrandas, she would
cry out to a passer-by: 'Oh, you rat!"
and when the passcr-by would stop to
see who 1t was that made the remark,
and discover the parrot the naughty
bird would only laugh.
Another serious fault was . habit OF
opening her cage with her bill. She
could do this quite cleverly when 1t
was not securely tied. Then she would
como out and walk into pools OF water
and mud in the yard. When the
careful laundress had hanged
the clothes-lines full OF freshly
washed linen, she would walk
up and down the lines soiling tho
clothes with her muddy feet, and cut
ting of all the buttons with her bill.
With all her faults, however, we loved
her dearly, and many tears were shed
when she was finally sent away on &C.
count Of her bad language.
Another parrot which lived in .
Southern city was . great favorite in
the family OF some friends OF mine.
She was quite old-though her exact
age can not now tell. She had lived
in the State OF Texas, while it was
republic belonging to Mexico. and
seemed equally happy in her home
after 1t became one Of the United
States.
She formed great attachment for .
horse which the children drove, and tho
two became great friends. She would
climb up on fence. the horse would
come along beside it. allow her to get
on her back, and then walk slowly
