SCIENCE IN FARMING.
Surface Cultivation Retains Moisture 1

Surface Cultivation Retains Moisture In
the Soil.
The constant evaporation at the sur.
face of the ground causes the moisture
in the soil to creep upward over the
surfaces of those soil particles which
touch each other. Stirring the soil
checks this upward movement by put
ting air between many of the particles.
TO ascertain how much moisture is re-
tanned by surface cultivation, F. H.
King. at the Wisconsin station (R. '9D,
plowed and narrowed twelve-foot
strips in the spring. and summer-fal-
lowed them. One strip was rolled May
14,and afterwards not disturbed except
to scrape off the weeds. Another strip
was frequently cultivated three inches
deep until July Ii. The soil was a
sandy clay loan. underlaid at four feet
with sand. On May 20. the ground wa
ter was found at a depth of seven feet,
and on July II was six inches lower.
Six times, samples were taken with a
soil tube to depth of six feet, from
near the ten points marked in the dia-
gram. Each foot of moist soil was
weighed, then thoroughly dried and
again weighed. Thus it was found
that. from. May 90 to July II, each
square foot of the scraped surface lost,
from depth of six feet, S.s4 pounds
more water than the cultivated surface.

For stout Fl1ures.

A wall goes up from all over the land
regarding bell" skirts, but the waller
is stout, and the present style of skirts
is not kind to prominent or stout
figure. There is but one thing to do,
and that is to eschew such an unbecom-
ing style and wear appropriate and be
coming fashions. even if they are not
the prevailing ones. The bell back is
correct. and the plain; fat sides are not
bad, but the front must be draped by
lengthwise folds running in each side
of the belt, which extra cloth requires
an extra length of about half a yard at
the top. which must be draped on the
wearer, as these flexible folds can not
be arranged by any set rule. For a
moderately stout figure a pretty skirt
has the sides meeting at the center
front of the belt where they are Tapped
over, and then diverging SO as to leave
a reversed V in the center-Ladies'

DAIRY INSPECTION.

Some Foreign Methods of Regulating
Cows and Milk.
In order to calm the anxieties of the
public respecting the consumption of
milk from diseased cows, the French
authorities have passed law requiring
Paris dairymen henceforth, when stock
ing their sheds, to produce a certificate
from the official veterinary surgeon in
whose district the animal has been
purchased that the mich COW is free
from organic disease. They must also
advise the similar officials in the city
of the arrival of the purchase. AS a
further protection, all dairy cattle are
to be inspected monthly by the gov
ernment veterinary surgeon, who is
also empowered to report on the sani
tary condition of the COW stables and
surroundings.
These measures are not untimely ir
presence of the heavy human mortality
from tuberculous affections: of the in
creasing use of milk as diet. and of the
communications of tuberculosis from
milk from diseased cows-a fact now
placed beyond controversy. The re-
cent researches of DIR. Bang, of Copen-
hagen, have established that milk can
contain the Koch bacillus of tubercu-
losis without the milk glands or udder
exhibiting the symptoms of that dis
ease, though the latter was detected on
the cow being slaughtered. The disease
germs can exist in the cream as well
as in the creained milk despite no ex-
ternal signs of the malady being per
ceptible.
To sterilize the microbes in milk the
Pasteur plan of heating the liquid and
then rapidly cooling down is resorted
to. A temperature of 15S to 167 degrees
Fahrenheit does not kill the septic ami
malcules; it rather checks the rapidity
of their multiplication. Prof. Duclaux
has shown that even at the boiling
point vitality is not conquered in the
ferment germs, an additional twelve
degrees is necessary to make sure.
Highly heated milk loses none of its
nutritive qualities, but is not SO easy
of digestion as the ordinary milk, and
acquires the cooked flavor that SO many
dislike. Milk thus heated and placed
in vessels that have been steam-scalded
keeps for a long time.
DIR. Smester, of Normandy, sends milk
to Paris in a perfectly sweet condition
without resorting to any agent for its
preservation save extreme cleanliness

cover. the British journalists object to
| certain minor labor-Saving improve
ments of American orthography, such
as the dropping of the k from almanack.

Feelings may be honest, though they
are violent, but irritation is not the
best frame of mind for just thinking.
The tenacity with which some of the
newspapers of London are wont to de-
fend the accepted British orthog-
raphy is perhaps due rather to feel
ing than to thought Lowell

rs ever once theological hatred; and any
American who chances to note the force
and the fervor and the frequency of the
obiurgations against American spell
ing in the columns of the Saturday Re-

Good Feed for PoulfrH,

The following is good feed for the
poultry, and admits of variety. Take
about three-fourths of full feed OF
oats and soak it in water for about fif-
teen minutes. A large amount of water
is not required for the soaking. Place
with the oats n spoonful or two of
ground bone, and then add bran enough
to absorb all the water. When this
mixture is made it resembles chop feed.
and it should be given to the fowls in
the morning. At noon throw wheat in
places where the hens will have to work
70 get 1t. and at evening give a full al
lowance of corn. The feed can be
changed. and barley, rice, or other
grains given for the midday meal The
morning feed may also be changed. but

THE cow that has not had good treat

result in a marked manner in the
spring.
THERE are many people who take
frst-rate care of their horses, but neg
lect their cows Why? Is not the COW
entitled to as good treatment as the
horse?
TREAT the cow as if she were a lady,
some one has said. Treat her as if she
were a cow. That is all there is to do
1t is the duty of intelligent men to treat
every beast kindly. and the COW. es-
pecially. will pay well for all such
treatment
RUNNING streams on farms are esti-
mated far above their value, in our
opinion. Contagious diseases among
