Quite a demand is springing up for
what is called Philadelphia frozen poul-
try. The fowls are killed, dressed, and
packed away in barrels or boxes and
then frozen. They are kept in refrigera-
tors one to two wears, and it is thought
that this long period Of freezing improves
the flesh. The freezers say they can
keep poultry thus an almost indefinite
time, but after ten or twelve years it has
a somewhat stale taste. Naturally, one
would think. These frozen fowls com
mand higher price than others in the

What correspondent says about the
necessity Of testing milk To give each
farmer his due is to the point, and the
non-doing Of it is one Of the mighty I'M
righted Inconsistencies Of associated
dairying. We would call it one of the
mighty unrighted wrongs if we only
had better, cheaper and more satisfac-
tory ways of testing milk. But we have
high hopes that we are going to get out
of the woods" in this matter.
The dairy world viii hear witness that
if the way to DO it satisfactorily is either
in embryo, or is born, but not matured,
that it has been the constant effort and
aim of The Dairyman and its editors for
several years to urge the importance of
testing, and to encourage honest and in
telligent endeavors to evolute the meth
ods that promise success. We fully be-
lieve the sentiment of Professor w. A.
Henry, extracted from hopeful letter
just received, that "the man who gets
up a simple test will do more for the
dairy interest than anything else that
can be done for it at this time Hoard's

Divorces in France.

The divorce law passed in France in
1884 seems to be operating with terrible
effect. In 1884 there were 1861 divorces;
in 1885, A, 123; in 1886, 4,007; in 1887,
5,797. But the most astounding state
ment made is that in the department of

AFTER SUNSET.

The vast and solemn company of clouds
Around the suns death, lit, incarnadined,
Cool into ashy wan; as night enshrouds
The level pasture, creeping up behind
Through voiceless vales DER lawn and purpled
hill
And hazed mead, her history to fulfill.
Cows low from far off farms; the lettering wind
Signs in the hedge; you hear it if you will
Though all the wood, alive atop with wings
Lifting and sinking through the leafy hooks,
Seethes with the clamor of thousand rocks
Now every sound at length is hush away.
These few are sacred moments. One more day
Drops in the shadowy gulf of bygone things.

In living sponge this perpetual and

This il the sole evidence the unassisted
sight receives of the vitality Of the sponge
colony and the Importance Of this cir
culation in aiding life in these depths to

Overestimated.
Let us now see how this circulation is
maintained Microscopically regarded,
we see here and there, in the sides of the
sponge passages, little air chambers or
recesses. which remind one Of the pass
ing places in a narrow canal. Lining
these chambers we see living sponge
units Of type different from the shape

meshes of the sponge substance itself.
The units Of the recesscs each consist Of
a living particle. whose free extremity is

only sweeps water in the pores, but sends
it onward through the sponge, and i'll
