The habit Of keeping strict accounts is
one cause of the common success Of the
farming Of former business men. The
farm needs business habits as much as a
store does. was once running dairy
with a large and valuable milk route
Two men were employed to deliver the
milk. Each helped at the milking,
weighed the milk and recc rded the
weight on sheet hung in the barn and
changed weekly. Occasionally watch
ed the milking and weighing, so that a
standard Of the yield was secured. Any
falling off in the yield Of course would
be noticed at once, and it varied very
little from day to day BY and by !

than the yield Of milk The difference
made $65 in one month.

the two men until the shortage was ex-
planned. / was sued by one, and as I
produced in the court the statement Of
the milk yield in the mans handwriting,
and he could not account for the short
returns, | recovered Judgment against
him. Then the other fellow confessed
to me he had been induced to keep back
every day so much money. Had the
men not left a witness in their own
writing they could not have been con-
victed of the stealing. This hint may
be valuable to owners Of milk routes

Visible Sound.

The idea of getting visual expression
for musical vibrations occurred to Chlad-
nj, physicist of the last century. He
fastened plate Of glass by its center,
and then having scattered some sand
over the surface threw it into sonorous
vibrations by means of a violin bow.
Imagine the delight with which he saw
the sand stir and form into line on the
plate, forming a star of twelve rays.
Square plates Of glass or metal screwed
or even glued to central support can be
made by the merest tyro with tools, and
give wonderful results
A plate, like string, has one rate Of
vibration which belongs to it, but again,
like string, by "dampening" it with a
touch Of the finger or fngersin different
points along the edge the note changes,
and with it the figure made. BY the sand.
The lines on the plate where the sand
settles are the nodes, the lines of com
parative rest. The violent agitation in
the parts left bare can be eshown by mix
ing little lycopodium powder with the
sand; this is excessively light, and is
caught in the little whirlwinds Of all
generated about the vibrating seglnents.

How to Give d Theater Party.

Say it is given by three young men to
three young ladies. Each young man
should write to the young lady he is to
escort q note Of invitation in the third
person. Here is form considered good
in the city of New York:
Mr. John Smith presents his compliments to
Miss Clara Jones, and requests the pleasure OF
her company on Thursday evening, January
thirtieth. Madison Square theater. Carriage
viii call at seven o'clock.
AS a rule the number Of the house
should be at the top, and the date at the
bottom. Inclosed in the note should
be the cards of the other gentlemen.
Plain while paper, unruled, is the only
correct form. On the street each gentle
man should offer the lady his right arm,
and never take hers He should precede
her down the aisle Of the theater, and
should endeavor to quickly remove his
coat in the lobby beforehand This pre-
vents unnecessary confusion in the seat.
If the party are to be seated in the box
the gentleman should be careful to ar
range the chairs for the ladies. If there
is a chaperone, she should be given the
place Of honor invariably It should
never appear to her or any one else that
she is simply tolerated.

Their Characteristics Compared with

There are hundreds Of horses called

difficult thing to get a pure bred Arab.
The Bedouin chief will not sell one At
any price, and the only ones procured
are secured by raids On the tribes Of the
Euphrates valley.
In the whole United States there are
only three strictly pure bred Arabian
horses. Two Of these are the stations
Leopard and Linden Tree, which were
presented To General Grant by the sui
tan Of Turkey, and mare called Naomi.
which has been imported from England.
OF the two Grant stations Leopard il
not at all prepotent horse and il a get
ter Of few foals, and Linden Tree il the
possessor of one Of the ugliest tempers of
amy living horse. He il SAID to be a fiend
incarnate, though his colts are gentle
and kind enough when properly treated.
1t is peculiarity of the Arabs that If
used kindly and treated with considera-
ton they are gentle and lovable.

dence and abused him.

ment existing about the Arab horse,

Of much endurance; but when compared
with the thoroughbred race horse or the
American trotter he suffers much BY the
comparison.
He lacks the size and speed Of the
thoroughbred, and what a spectacle a

ting Arab that ever lived could they meet

As race they are handsomer than the
American trotters, many Of which have
inherited Roman heads and cat hams
from the great progenitor, Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. If it could be done with
out loss Of size and speed, for the pur-
pose Of giving beauty and finish to the

DAIRY AND CREAMERY.
RUNNING THE SEPARATOR FAST AND
RUNNING 1T SLOW.

The Most Cream Is Obtained when the
Separator Is Run at About Two-Thirtls
the Speed Named in the Circulars.
Test to See if the Cream Is Out
A few years ago thought some of
putting in q separator in my gathered
cream plant, and to learn all I could I
took a trip of week or so and visited
some twenty or more creameries. saw
the two styles of the De Laval separator,
the Danish Weston and Sharples, and |
must say was greatly surprised at the
variation in the yield of butter. A mem
orandum will show you why was sur
prsed:
First creamery, Danish separator, yield. 427
Second creamery, Danish separator, yield. 4gs
Third creamery. De Laval separator, yield. $40
Fourth creamery, ,Sharpies separator, yield. 4.4S
Fifth creamery, De Laval separator, yield. 4.10
Sixth creamery, De Laval separator. yield. sos
Seventh creamery, Danish separator, yield. 400
Eighth creamery, Danish separator, yield. 4.12
These eight creameries will show as a
fair sample Of the balance | visited.
Now these eight were in the same local
ity, and why should there be a differ
ence of pound of butter to the 100
pounds of milk is what beats me.
But have solved the question, or at
least part of it. Form every case where
they had big yield the butter maker

was not hurrying the milk through his
separator at 2:40 gait, but be was run
ming slow. not over two-thirds as much
as the printed circulars say can be run
through. The same day / visited the
creameries that showed yield Of A. 10
and sos. The butter maker in the
creamery where they got 4 pounds per
hundred was always in hurry to get
his work done. He was crowding his
sepaYators all they could stand and never
tested to see il he got all the cream.
The one that got sos was only putting
through 1000 pounds an hour, and he
was very careful to test every few days
to see if he was getting all the cream.
would like very much to hear from
some one who has had experience in run

A dealer in dairy supplies, and who
manufactures butter packages holding
from two to fifty pounds, says that he
has all along found bitter opposition
from grocerymen in handling these pack
ages. The reason for this, he says. is to
be found in the fact that the grocer
would rather furnish the dish in which
to put the butter himself, and as these
weigh two ounces il will be seen that
the customers who order one pound Of
butter only get fourteen ounces, and the
other two ounces 90 into the grocer 's
pocket, less the cost of the dish. SO long
as the consumer Is content to pay the
grocer thirty cents pound for these
wooden dishes with tin corners on just
SO long will the grocer impose on him.
The customer ought to insist ON eighteen
ounces to the pound If two ounces Of il
are to be in wood and tin. Exchange.

There are several methods Of crema-
ton. Among the most practical is that
Of DIR. Polli. Of Italy, who obtains com
plete incineration or calcination by the
use Of coal gas mixed with atmospheric
air, applied to a cylindrical retort Of re-
fracting clay, SO as to consume the gaseous
products Of combustion. This process
occupies two hours In the Siemen's re-
generative furnace, which has been ap-
proved by several high authorities, only
the hot blast is used, the body supplying
hydrogen and carbon; or a stream Of
heated hydrocarbon mixed with heated
air il sent from q gasometer supplied
with coal, charcoal, peat or wood, the
brick OF iron cased chamber being thus
heated to high degree before crema-
tion begins

To save apples and pears from the raw
ages Of the Goblin moth there seems but
one thing to be done, and that Is to spray
paris green into the blossom before it
closes up and in such quantities that the
young worm will be sure to perish the
moment it is Matched and begins to eat.
When apples and pears are the size Of a
small pea or buckshOt and still stand
erect Oh the stem the calyx j. yet well
open 50 that the poison can be sprayed
into it. Within week after that time
the blossom end has so closed ND that
the work cannot be done with any sue
cess. The utmost diligence is therefore
necessary to do this work thoroughly
and just at the right time. The paris
green does no good unless il enters the
blossom and remains there. All thepoi-
son that is deposited on the surface Of
the fruit is dissipated within d week or
two by the sun and wind Hence there
need be no fear whatever Of using it
freely
Many use too little Of the poison for
best results. "A teacupful (half pint
to forty gallons Of water j. not too much;
ii will not injure the trees-that is, ap-
pie and pear, though it will kill peach
trees. Ii hard rain comes before the
calyx is closed, SO as to wash out the poi
son, the work should be Immediately
done over again The only salvation for
our apples and pears is To spray thor

the reason. I put spur to my horse and

Finally the eagle, as if tired Of this

The old English fashion in brewing
tea is this: Heat the teapot-which must
be perfectly dry-to about the tempera-
ture Of boiling water, then put in the
tea, the proper quantity being one tea
spoonful for every cup Of water and one
additional spoonful The dry tea is al
lowed to rest in the pot for few min
utes, after which the boiling water ia
added. After this the teapot is to be
kept on the fire, but the decoction must
not be allowed to boil again for eight to
ten minutes. It is then .&ady for the
table; but it is always wei to keep a
"cozy" over the teapot to keep it at a
proper temperature. If, after the water
is poured on the leaves, it is allowed to
boil, the tannin is extracted and the bev-
erage rendered bitter and unpleasant.
An earthenware pot is always the best.

How to Eat an Orange.

Cut the orange in halves, longitudinal
ly, with sharp knife. Then insert the
point Of teaspoon into each section
and with slight twist Of the wrist dig
out the juicy part, leaving the pulp.
The best results are with the ripest
oranges, for where they are slightly
green it is more difficult to separate the
substance from the pulp. Special orange
spoons are quite the thing. and can be
obtained at your jewelers..
