Canned Milk.

Until within short time the stew
ards on the large ocean steamers have
used condensed milk almost exclusive
ly. We are now told that many are
using Norwegian canned milk, which
has the merit of being all ready for use
as well as being without change of
form, and preserving the mixture of but
ter fats almost exactly as the product
came from the COW. This Norwegian
milk is prepared by patent process
which is so simple that it is quite sur
prising that it ever could be patented or
that it was not made use of long ago.
The milk is heated to ITO degrees, then
cooled to 80 degrees, then heated to 10
degrees again, and again cooled, then
heated to about 100 degrees and at once
placed in tin cans and perfectly sealed.
After being treated in this way it is said
to keep perfectly for months in tin cans,
or even for several days after being
taken from them. Cream taken from
this canned milk makes excellent but
ter. 1t is confidently expected that the
canned milk will be offered for sale at
all grocery and provision stores in En-
gland within few years. Why not in
this country? The process is. said to be
the result of efforts made by dairyman
in Norway to provide profitable use
for surplus milk at milk factories. We
have an abundance of surplus milk in
this country. Why can we. not have ex-
periments made to test the value of this
patent here? This is good chance for
our experiment stations to show their
interest in practical dairy matters

PICKLE WORMS.
Ono of the Pests That Work I'm Gardens
How to Get Rid of Them.


The larvae of the neat cucumber
worm is often found by the wholesale
in some gardens, running the pickles or
cucumbers. The larvae is easily recog-
nizable; it is about an inch long and of
n yellowish white color with greenish
tinge. On each segment are few
slightly elevated shining dots, from
each of which fine hair issues. The
head of the larvae is yellow with a brown
margin. The illustration herewith rep
resents the cucumber as affected; the
larvae generally begin to appear about
the middle of July and continue their
depredations until late in September,
feeding on the flesh of the cucumber,
rendering it unfit for use, and causing
premature decay. Often several spec
linens are found on single cucumber.
When mature, the larve leaves the
fruit, draws together few fragments of
leaves, spins a cocoon and in about eight
or ten days the slender brown chrysalis
changes to yellowish brown colored
moth. There is more than single
brood, and the chrysalis of the last
passes the winter emerging as moth
the following year.
The moth, as shown in the illustra-
tion, has an irregular patch of yellow
on the fore wings, which also consti-
tutes the color of the greater portion
of the inner parts of the hind ones;
the thighs, breast and abdomen are
silvery white, giving the whole of the
under side of the body pearly appear
ance. The lower parts of the legs are
yellow. The body of the female diff
fers somewhat from that of the male;
it terminates in small, fattened,
black brush. squarely trimmed; the

PLAIN TRUTHS.
Some of the Causes of Failure in
Breeding.

Some of the Causes of Failure in
Breeding.
A reader rises to ask why 1t is that in
many instances FARMERS who have come
into the possession of well-bred live
stock have not succeeded in producing
as meritorious animals as they had been
led to expect would result from the use
of such blood?"
Well, in the first place, the farmer
who has failed to attain the requisite
standard of excellence may not have
had really aoel-bred animals to begin
with. The terms pur6-bred and toeN-bred
should not be confused. 1t is related OF
Lord Rivers that when asked how he
succeeded in always having first-class
greyhounds, he replied: 81 breed many
and hang many" Not every breeder
makes such wise use of hemp. Not
all pure-bred animals are equally we'll
bred. The well-bred animal is that
which has inherited genuine merit from
his immediate progenitors, and the more
of his ancestors that were distinguished
in the same direction the better is the
breeding. Not every pure-bred animal
measures up to this standard. Many of
them are merely pedigreed weeds, u
and the farmer who buys of the dealer
and "peddler'' rather than the legiti-
mate breeder, while he may get beast
at low price that can boast herd-book
entry land therefore pass as pure-bred),
may still fall short of securing we'll
bred beast This, it Is needless to state,
is u prolific source of disappointment,
and suggests its own cure.
If we were to limit our reply, however,
to one single point, we should be strong
ly tempted to assert that more good
breeding stock is ruined by poor keep, a
failure to maintain the animals in an
atmosphere conducive to thrift, than by
any other single cause. AS rule the
best specimens of the various improved
breeds are those that have been gener-
ously reared upon proper foods, allowed
plenty of liberty on pasture, and
handled by men who were too much in
love with their beasts to permit them to
be abused in any way, shape, form or
manners and to transplant good animals,
highly developed by painstaking men,
to farms where any or all of these ele-
nents of successful management are
wanting. with the expectation that they
will maintain their excellences and
transmit them to their progeny, is to
expect the seed from sound, heavy
yielding grain to produce bountiful
harvest when sown in sterile soil and
turned over to the tender mercies of
noXious weeds. In other words we may
amplify the old law of transmission of
hereditary qualities by saying that ''like
begets like or the likeness of some an
cestor' under like conditions. Neglect
and niggardly treatment will in very
few years undo the work of generations.
So many gruesome tales of woe have
been sung about the evils of over-feed-
ing that some well-meaning people de-
liberately starve all the excellence out

ChOked Cattle.

In our last issue we gave two
methods in vogue for relieving choked
cattle. A correspondent of the New
England Homestead has an excellent
as well as humane way for accomplish
ing the same result and he thus de-
scribes it: when an animal becomes
choked, / find the obstruction by feel
ing along the throat with oneshand, and
in nine cases out of ten it is found in
the gullet With pressure of the
thumb and fingers the obstacle can be
forced out the way it went in, and gen
orally the animal is ready to assist in
its removal. A few years ago had a
heifer that was choked with apples
every few days, and in every instance |
removed them in this way without diff
ficulty or danger of injuring the animal.
1 think any thing which an animal
gets into its throat and can not get
down in the natural way should not be
punched or pushed down, thereby en-
dangering the life of the animal, but it
should be taken out the way 1t went
in"

Once upon time the directors of a

for wisdom, whose statue they desired
should be upon the topmost spire of the
structure. All manner of created beings
contended for the honor of typifying
wisdom and the strife waxed vehement,
insomuch that the directors were sore
perpleXed. At last the contention was
narrowed down to two, the Philosopher
and the Owl.
