A QUESTION ABOUT RAISING CREAM.

The question has been asked, Why
will not the cream rise in deep pals as
well, when kept in the air at tempera-
ture of forty-fve degrees, as in water at
the same temperature2 That it will not
80 rise is a matter of fact, which surprises
some persons. The explanation is simple.
When pail of milk is set in cold water
it is cooled very rapidly, and in a short
time the milk will be reduced to the low
temperature of the water. The change
of density of the milk, produced by the
cold, causes the lighter cream, or the
butter globules, speaking more correctly,
to separate and rise to the surface very
quickly. If the milk be set in the air
at the same low temperature, it will cool
very slowly, because air is very slow
conductor of heat, and water very
quick one. Consequently the upward
motion of the cream is 50 slow and
weak that it cannot force its way through
the depth of milk before change oc-
ours in the milk by which the motion of
the cream is stopped. Rapid cooling is
necessary for the rapid rising of the
cream.-Amaerican Agricultawist.

New York Tribune: A speaker at re-
cent Boston farmers meeting referred to
a 25-bushel crop of apples from a single
tree. and calculated that an acre of 10
trees bearing at the same rate would
produce 576 barrels, (which is better
than is done by most Of the 1O-acre
orchards. But cut it down to two
barrels a tree, and we have lao barrels
per acre, and how many reach that
fgure2 He thought very few" Now,
an orchard with 70 trees to the acre
would be too much crowded to succeed
well. The trees might have sufficient
room while young or halfgrown, but not
when large enough to bear an average of
Is bushels each. Many orchards, prob
ably majority of successful ones, set
their apple trees 80 feet (two rods) apart,
which gives 40 trees to the acre. At Is
bushels to the tree, this would be 333
barrels, if all the trees were equally per-
feet in form, growth and productiveness.
But there are many other orchardists who
prefer a distance of 40 feet, giving only
~ trees to the acre, and affording 227
barrels. But trees are not uniform in
growth; the soil in different places may
affect tie quantity of crop, and part of
the trees would not probably bear nearly
the 25 bushels. Cutting down the pro-
duct "to two barrels to the tree" after
rejecting all not free from worms and the
punctures of insects, there would be only
so barrels from the 33-feet orchard, and
81 from the feet orchard. This yield
would be a safer estimate and would
avoid the too common error of giving ex-
travagant paper calculations.

SHEEP IN THE APPLE ORCHARD.

One of the methods of decreasing the
r,dling moth in apple orchards is to al
low the hogs to roam among the trees,
but the hog, not being very alert, is apt
to miss many of the fallen apples, allow
ing the larva to escape. An Oregon or
chardist recommends that sheep are bet
ter in the orchard than hogs, being
much more apt to get every fruit which
drops. The greatest drawback, how
ever, is their fondness for gnawing the
trunks of the trees, especially if they are
young. If the trunks are washed once
month with solution of soapsuds, whale
oil and sheep manure, the trees will not
be molested. This inclination upon. the
part of the sheep is often brought about
by a desire for fresh water, which
should be supplied in abundance at all
times.

A GOOD WAY TO RAISE PLANTS.

A good way to raise tomato or cab
bage plants, says a Nebraska farmer, is
to take the cans (small size), hold over
the fire and unsolder the bottom and
sides, then take string and tie around
the can, then get small box and set the
cans in; now fill cans with dirt and put
two or three tomato seeds in each can.
When they come up pull up all but one
in each can. In the spring when ready
to set out, dig hole size Of can, unite
string and set dirt and plant in the hole;
pack dirt around solid. In this way the
plant will keep right on growing. Now
Is the time to SOW the seed.

THE COMING HOG.

The coming hog will be a good feeder.
Bran, corn, peas and middlings will be
his common diet, but he will craze on
clover and CLEAN shack in the woods;
will thrive on dairy and house slops, and
II necessary will clean up the refuse of
the country butchers slaughter house,
and, by his great power of assimilation
convert all these things into delicious
lean meat. But he will not eat the sion
of distilleries, for distilleries will not
then exist. The coming hog will be an
American hog and will crowd Irish bacon
from our market and all other foreign
pork products, and will enter the mar
kets OF the old world and lift the French
and German embargo from American
pork. he will be great source of wealth
TO this country and will make MANY q

MARBLES OR WoURNILs IN CATTLE.

During the midsummer months, says
the american Agrieulturist, there are
numerous inquiries about punches on cat
tie These are caused by a large fly,
called Osiris bowls, which attacks cattle,
pierces the skin and deposits it's eggs in
the wound. In short time a swelling
Is observed which causes a deposit of Sc
erection from the irritation of the grow
ing larva which has been Matched from
the egg deposited. These uE2ors or
lunches may attain the size of a walnut,
and when there are several of them on
young and feeble animal they produce a
good deal of irritation and fever. Usual
ly nature sets up discharge through an
opening from which the insect is ex-
PEELED, and, it circumstances favor, it
soon develops wings and renews the
parental instinct of depositing it's eggs in
living tissues whose temperature matches
the eggs and protects the insect. 1t is
therefore desirable to relieve our afflicted
cattle thus attacked by charging the
opening, and squeezing out the Immature
insect, injecting oil into the opening, or
pulling out the grub by small, sharp
hook. A crude carbolic mixture brushed
over the backs of cattle at the time of
the appearance of the fly may protect
them.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS


Don't allow the broom to stand on the
brush end when not in use; hang it on q
nail by means of ring in the top of the
handle.
Don't forget that broom will last
much longer, if, after using, it is dipped
in boiling water for few minutes.
Don't fill the best windows in the
family livingroom with plants.
Don't neglect to air the house thorough
ly every morning. Open opposite doors
and windows for five or ten minutes,
even If it is stormy.
Don't undertake extra work to give
pleasure when you know that you have
neither time nor strength for it, and that,
as result, some one will be sure to be
overtired and cross.
Don't forget, if you are tall woman,
to have your workable and ironing
board few inches higher than they are
usually made. This little precaution will
prevent many a backache.
Don't neglect to have your name
plainly painted on all jugs or bottles that
are sent to the store for vinegar, molasses,
etc. Then you will be sure to get back
your own.
Don't think when you sit down to rest
that it is necessary to pick up that I'm.
finished mending. Ten minutes abso-
Lutte rest is worth much to the tired
muscles.
Don't allow soiled clothes to remain in
the bedrooms. They faint the air and
make it impure.
Don't keep for company the best
room, the best dishes, and especially the
pleasantest smile and most entertaining
conversation.-Anaeric Agriculturist.

THE RAvAGEs OF THE BUFFALo-BUe.


It is found that few of the usual pre-.
ventives are of any use against the at
tacks of this beetle, and for this reason
it is difficult pest to eradicate. In some
places it has proved so destructive that
carpets have to be dispensed with, and
in their place rugs are used, as being
more conveniently examined.
Tallow or tallowed paper placed around
the edges of the carpet, which are often
the parts first attacked, is said to be eff
fectual. In many cases the carpets are
cut, as if with a scissors, following the
line of the seams in the floor, and as a
remedy for this it has been recommended
that the seams be filled during the win
ter with cotton saturated with benzine.
Kerosene, naphtha or gasoline are often
sive to the beetle as we'll as benzine, but
benzine is perhaps the simplest and safest
preventive in use. Ie can be poured
from tin can having very small spout,
it being necessary to use but little.
Before lacking down a carpet it should
be thoroughly examined, and if possible
steamed. If in spite of precautions a
carpet is found infested, wet cloth can
he spread down along the edges, and
hot iron passed over it, the steam thus
generated not only killing the beetles
and larvae, but destroying any eggs that
may have been laid. Clothing is some
times attacked as we'll as objects of
natural history-such as stuffed birds and
mammals.
It was believed that the beetle must
feed on some plant, for in number of
cases it was captured out of doors, and it
was finally discovered feeding on the
pollen of the flowers of spireas, the bee
tie living on the plant for while and
then returning to the house to lay its
eggs. When this was proved, it was
suggested that spiroeas should be planted
around houses infested by the beetle; by
doing this the plants could be often ex-
amined and the beetles destroyed.-Pop-

An exchange describes the difference be-

follows:
The religious man wrings his hands in despair
at what lie considers the brutality OF the prize

there is another aspect OF the question. 1t Is as
plain as possible that certain animals Which are

creatures because he is hungry; lie is a typical
example of unmiigaied savaseiy and blood lust.

Is quite enough TO make any man resolve not TO
keep bulldog on any account; and since there
is no longer any use for such ANIMALS In this
country every gentleman III the land would be
very willing 10 decree their promlt extinction. No
gentleman keeps bulldog. The man whose

The question need not be discussed from
moral point Of view at all; bulldogs have no
morals, neither have priZe-tighters and their

society, both the dogs and the prize-fighters
might all be knocked on the head like hungry
