INFLUENCE OF FOOD UPON BUTTER.

INFLUENCE OF FOOD UPON BUTTER.
As to the influence of different foods
upon butter there are many conflicting
opinions. To throw some light on this
subject five COWS were fed at the Maine
Station three different rations during as
many periods.
The grain ration of the first period
consisted of a mixture of cottonseed
meal, cornmeal aud wheat bran; during
the second period of peas and barley, and
during the third period OF linseed meal,
eornmeal and wheat bran.
The amount of milk was diminished
somewhat in passing from the first to the
second period, and increased slightly
after changing TO the third period.
The composition of the milk varied
but little, even less during the three
periods than is often observed when the
ration is not changed.
The relation in quantity in fats to the
other solids varied somewhat, but appar-
emily without reference to the food.
While only limited conclusions can be
drawn from this experiment, it appears
that quite radical changes can be made
in the kind of grain ration fed without
affecting the quality of the milk. 1t
was shown that the tendency of butter
to melt during hot weather may be in
fuenced by the kind of food, and also
the degree Of hardness may be affected.
A mixture of cottonseed meal or lin
seed meal with cornmeal and wheat bran,
especially the cottonseed mixture, pro-
duced butter less easily melted aud of a
more solid appearance than did the peas
and barley.
Upon the whole, from review of the
experiment as found stated in the Annual
Station Report, it does not seem to have
drawn out any results which should
change the more common opinion that
the individual character of the animal is
the most prominent factor in determin-
ing the quality OF butter New York

WASHING RIBBON RUouEs.

"I wash my ribbon ruches," says a

Chaplain McCabe tells story of a drinh-

heard the wife of the saloon keeper say TO
her husband, "Send that fellow home, 1t is

band, 'he is shingling our house for us"
This idea lodged in the mind Of the drunk
ard and he did not return to the saloon for
six months. When passing the saloon
keeper in the street, the latter said: "Why

Folks who Live Long.

"What occupation tends most to pro-
long liiei" asked a Star reporter OF the
chief mathematician for one Of the great
life insurance companies.
"That is a difficult question, he re-
piled. al can only answer it by refer
ring to the occupations of persons whose
lives are and have been insured by us. In
asmuch as they number several hundreds
OF thousands they will afford good
basis from which to draw conclusions on
the subject. According to this evidence
it appears that commercial travellers and
agents live longer than men in any other
kind of business, Notwithstanding the
hazards which attend transportation by
rail and water Next to them come
dentists, teachers and professors, includ-
ing music teachers"
"And who after them7"
Next to them in point of longevity
are hatters, clergymen and missionaries.
The last may occasionally furnish food
for the larder of untutored, but they are
a first rate risk nevertheless. Next come
bankers and capitalists, who seem to live
just a tri6e longer than butchers and
marketmen. Lawyers and jewellers fol-
low, and they are succeeded on the list
by merchants, peddlers, milkmen and
pawn brokers. Then come gardeners,
laborers, civil engineers ard canvassers.
Perhaps the treatment which canvassers
are apt TO receive in the ordinary course
OF their business shortens their lives"
"Where do newspaper men come int"
"Oh, they don't live as long as any of
the people have mentioned. Even book
keepers and bank cashiers, as well as

CONSTRUCTION OF AN IcEHorsr.

The way to make an icehouse Is to
think about it in the summer and have
the preparations made before the winter.
The requisites are dry foundation; /;
double walls filled in between with dry
sawdust, or other loose stuff that will
make q good non conductor of the heat
and thus retain the cold; a tight and
well-ventilated roof over it, and the ex.
clusion of water or air from every part
of it. Good ventilation over the top
covering, however, is indispensable, as
this keeps the covering dry, and dryness
is an absolute necessity. A refrigerator
is made in this way and on the same
principles. A box of any suitable shape
is made with double sides and bottom
and cover. The space is filled with
powdered charcoal, and the inside is
well painted or lined with sheet zinc or
tin. The box should stand twice as
high as it is wide each way, aud is di-
vided into two parts by metallic divis-
ion. The ice rests on this, and this
part should have pipe to carry off the
water rs the ice melts. The lower
chamber is provided with shelves on
which the articles to be kept cool are
placed, and door for access is fitted to
the front. The icebox on top is covered
by lid or falling door. New York

The Biggest of Balloons.

James Glalsher states that the balloon
constructed in 1864 by Eugene GODDARD
was the largest ever made. Its capacity
was nearly half million cubic feet.
The air in this fire balloon was heated bv
an eighteen foot stove, weighing with
the chimney, $50 pounds. This furnace
was fed with straw, and the "car" con-
sisted of a gallery surrounding it. Two
ascents of this balloon were made from
Cremorne Gardens, London, on July
goth and July 2Sth, 1864. The "Geant, ="
Madras colossal balloon. contained 215,-
1863 cubic feet of gas, and raised thirty
five persons at one time, This balloon
was also remarkable as having attached
to it a regular two. story house for a car.
Its ascent on Sunday, the 18th of Octo-
tober, 1863 was witnessed by nearly
half million of persons. After pass
ing over the eastern part of France,

fered disastrous descent in Hanover

GUS journey. In 1873, a balloon of
400, 600 feet of cubic capacity was made
to enable MIR. Wise TO cross the Atlantic,
but it unfortunately burst. The longest
distance Travelled in a balloon in the
shortest time was 1850 in twenty hours,
by Messrs. Wise and LaNIountain, the
route taken being from st. Louis in the

Difficult Navigation.

The difficulties of navigating the
Missouri river arc confined to two
places-the mouth of the Usage and
Grand rivers, which are about one hun
dred and fifty miles apartz-and the gov
eminent is trying to overcome them
At the mouth of the Usage an effort is
to be made to confine the channel for
about nine miles. The Missouri is
very wide there, the waters spreading
over low lands, and there has been no
distinct channel. The depth of the
water has been increased from four and
one-half to seven feet Piles thirty
eight feet in length are forced into the
sand and clay in five minutes by the
use of powerful stream of water that
is forced through a pipe extending to
the point of each pile. The stream
clears away the sand and clay, and the
pile sinks of it's own weight. 1t is be-
lieved that after the work has been
finished the river will be nav;gable
during nearly all the year except win
tern. Y. Sun.

DRYING UP THE RIO GRANDE.
MexIcans Complaining OF Action Taken by
People IN New Mexico.

MexIcans Complaining Of Action Taken by
People In New Mexico.
Both Mexicans and Americans rcs;d-
ing along the southwestern frontier
have at least one grievance in common.
1t is the drying up of the Rio Grande
river, SO that what was once n steadii.
flowing stream and always containing
plenty of water has now become a
struggling little stream Of muddy
water. In some places only n dry bed
of glistening sand marks the course of
the once great river of the border. The
Rio Grande, as is known, has its origin
in the mountains of Colorado. and. after
rushing down over its rocky bed be-
tween precipitous canyons, it enters the
great mesas of New Mexico. Here the
! river is tapped by ;rrigating canals for
hundreds of miles, so that when it
reaches the Mexican frontier the great
| g, part Of it's water has been with
drawn, and it becomes mere thread
! winding down the middle of it's channel.
The Mcxicans are loud in their COM
plants of the injury which they have
sustained and are now sustaining
through the transformation of a once
great river into an inconsidcrable
creek. They say that their lands have
been made valuelcss by the action of
the people of New Mexico, and they
claim that they have the best right to
the use Of the river because of
the priority Of their settlement
in its neighborhood. The courts of
New Mexico, in cases where the
earliest settlements were made on the
lower banks of rivers, and where later
settlers attempted to draw off water
for purposes of irrigation, have decided
that the early settlers were entitled to
the use of the river, and they have
granted perpetual injunctions in such
cases prohibiting the withdrawal of n
river from itsnatural course. 1t can he
shown that millions of acres on the
Mexican border which were formerly
productive are now almost absolutely
valueless, and ut FL Paso in the dry
time of the year it is difficult to get Il
sufficient quantity of water for drink
ing. The question of right in the mat
ter is a curious one, and may require
considerable diplomatic skill to adjust
it to the satisfaction of the two coun-
tries and for the best interests of all
the parties Observation-Disclosures Her
