Aeratins nil.

Prof W. W. Cooke, of the Vermont Ex-
pertinent Station. says that by aeraring
milk. oIors can b. completely driven out
that have been absorbed by the milk after
being drawn from the COW. doors that
were derived BY the milk through the sys-
tenn Of the eow. are not 50 easily taken
out. They will be somewhat iessened,
hut can never be wholly removed.
Milk should be aerated as soon as
possible after il is drawn, and it should. at
the same tins. be cooled Aerating alone is
an advantage, but its good effects on the
keeping ofmiik ar. much increased by bring
ing the milk down To Is degrees or lower.
Milk should keep at least Is hours longer
for the aerating. By using cooler and an
aerator faithfully, il is possible to dispense
with ice in selling milk under the ordinary
conditions a. they Occur in the smaller cities
bat where the milk is to be- brought by train,
AMI is ~ TO 81 hours old before i, Is put ON
the milk cart. il would be necessary to use
ice even with aerated milk. The question
AZ TO neither, by the use Of the aerator,
ice can be dispensed with IN butter
making. would seem to imply that the
aerator could be used to advantage in
butter making which is not the fact
The man who il raising his cream by
shallow setting, or cold. deep setting. or
any form of gravity ereaming has no
use for Il milk aerator or milk cooler
Either would be a positive detriment occa-
sioniug the loss of Il large amount of
butter in the skim-milk The man who
is running his milk through Il separator
has little need of an aerator for the whole
milk. since. of course the milk is aeratetl
in passing through the machine.
But TO make the best quality of butter. il is
necessary that the cream he cooled below
~ degrees and, better To 80 degrees as
soon as possible after coming from the
separator, and the combined milk coolers
and aerators. as they are now on the mar
ket, are probably the best forms of cooler
tn he nsnd for that purpOse.

Mechanical Character More than Fertility.

The fourth annual report of the Mary
land experiment station contains an inter
esting paper on investigations relative to
the physical constitution of and the
circulation of water through soil. Water
settles into the soil in obedience to the force
of gravity, but in addition there is force
called surface tension, which is changed in
power by various fertilizing substances
which the water NAV happen to
hold in solution. This surface ten
sion acts in all directions alike,
and has the effect of distributing the moist
ure from wet places to the dryer portions
of the soil 1t j. this surface tension that
prevents the water from draining entirely
out of the soil by gravitation
This soil tension is increased considerably
when the water contains salt. kainite and
some other fertilizers. but is diminished
when the water holds ammonia, phosphate,
soil extract or pl ,ster in solution.
The effect of cultivation and manuring
upon the character of the soils is very
marked and often alters the character of
the soil materially. The time for select
ing the so-called rich or clay soils for
truck farming has passed. No soil is
naturally rich enough for successful truck
farming. therefore the mechanical charac-
ter of soil is now more carefully looked
after by the truck farmer than is its natural
fertility that it is worth far more to him
than are any mineral elements of plant food
that "A soil might contain

Oae of the euriosities OF the English
political system is the method of .'faggot
voting" BY this system. which is based
upon old-,ime custom and local rights in
England and Scotland, man can vote in as
many constituencies as he pays taxes in and
the possession of a cemetery LOT IL saiH-
Gent to give the qualification. Several
men vote as many as twenty times in one
election, and in Midlothian the Tories
have subdivided hundreds of acres into
imaginery town sites and given lots to non
resident voters. AT the 1885 election, over
1000 nonresident or fagxos votes were re-
corded against Gladstone. and the enormous
pull this year makes it look As though the
nunhef had been greatly increased. Indeed
il y Gid this corfupe system Of voting
cansed great reduction in Mr.. Gladstone s
majority in his own constituency at the re-
ceak elecaion.
