BETTER FLAVOR.
The Jars being small at the top, and
full, the milk is not effected by the mo-
ton of the cars or wagon, and escapes
being churned, as in larger vessels, and
is absolutely free from the metallic fla

HOW TO USE BOTTLED MILK.
Do not open the jar until desired for
use. Put in a refrigerator or on the
cellar bottom. If cream is desired for
tea or coffee the jar can be placed
on the table and unsealed when
wanted for use, or the cream can be
poured off or removed with a spoon. IL
whole milk is desired turn the jar upside
down and shake 1t well with cover on,
the cream will unite with the milk read

complished before The milk will be
good as it comes from healthy cows fed
on sound and nutritious food. No de-
caying vegetables or sour slops will be
fed

Amount OF in the world

An English writer says that "the
quantity Of gold in the world is not
nearly SO large as it is commonly
supposed to be. IF it could all be
collected in one spot, it would form
q pile only 25 feet high,
IS feet long, and Is feet vide.
The reason for the smallness Of the
space which the worlds stock OF
gold would gil is to a great extend
accounted for by the density of the
metal. A cubic foot Of it weighs
more than twelve hundred pounds"
In view Of the great discoveries of
gold during the last fifty years, this
appears to be a remarkable states.
ment, one that should attract the
attention aud investigation of the
leading scientists.

Very few farmers are able to tell
what it costs them to raise to matu
rity q horse or cow and when they
sell an animal they do not know
whether they have gained or lost
in the deal. In England more
attention is paid to keeping accounts
with stock than in this country
An English horse raiser can tell to
a cent what every tree-year-old
horse he has raised cost him and
can put a selling price on the animal
with the assurance that he is not
selling without a profit. It is said
that the average cost Of raising a
thrce-year old horse in England is
$50. Keep an accurate account
of the cost Of your stock, charging
to each animal its just share Of the
same and duly crediting it for all
returns made, and you will know
which animal to keep and which to
sell.--A meriean Farmer.
