A MILKING EXPERIMENT.

Five COWS were MIXED four weeks
by two different persons, each milker
serving two weeks, both being compe-
tent, one of them doing his average
milking and not aware that an expert
ment was under way; the other was
fully informed as to the nature of the
experiment and expected to contrib
ute his best skill for the purpose in
view. In the case of the one unaware
of the experiment the yield of milk
from the five COWS for two weeks was
664 pounds. The yield of milk from
the same COWS for corresponding pc
riod while in charge of the man aware
of the experimentreached 1131 pounds,
the excess of 267 pounds in favor Of
the man who milked to dryness.
The experiment proved that it pays
to get all the COW has to deliver. Also
that it is matter of Importance that
the udder be emptied as rapidly as pos
sible in manner acceptable to the
cow-this because of the effect on the
richness of the milk in the fat glob-
ules. Another important feature in
milking to dryness is that first milk
drawn is most aqueous, while the last
contains most butter fat. While not
strictly result Of this experiment it
demonstrates anew the teachings of
the experience that proves that in
completely milked COWS have a tend
ency to diminish their yield. Il British

The Strength of Ice.

The necessities of war have not un-
frequently led to valuable discoveries
of practical scientific character. OF
late the French Minister of War has
been studying the subject of ice from
the point Of view of its capacity to
maintain weights. BE has found that
when ice has become about an inch
and three-ffths thick, it begins to
bear the weight of q man who is
marching alone. At thickness of
something over three and one-half
inches it will bear files of infantry.
When it has become twelve cent?
meters, or nearly four and three
qnarter inches thick, it sustains light
artillery or carriages, and at twenty
nine centimeters, or about eleven and
four-tenths inches, it bears the heavi-
est weight that the transporting Of an
army requires. These conclusions Of
the French military authorities may
have some interest for skaters, but it

BREAKING HORSES.

Miss Dillon, the champion of the
Arabs in England, is great lover of
horses, and through her kindly infu-
ence really teaches her horses to love
and obey her. Her first experience
with Arabians was some years ago
when travelling in the South, she no.
ticed the most beautiful horse she had
ever seen /; the grooms were all afraid
of him, and he fought like a tiger
when brutally treated. She bought
him and soon rode him herself; con-
quered him by kindness and now is the
largest breeder of pure Arabs in Eng
land. In recent article on training
young horses she gives her method -
"The lessons are very gradual. The
harness is first put on in the box, the
horse being talked to all the time, and
left standing with it on. Afterward
one man takes the two long reins and
another is at the colts head, and
talking and patting him, leads him
until he understands what is re-
quired. Directly the horse is fright
ened the man goes to him and pats
him again and coaxes him. No whip
is ever used. It is only occasionally
that the reins get uuder the tail from
some sudden movement of the horse,
and then he learns to disregard it.
The tin with rattles is the finishing
lesson when the horse is perfectly
quiet and broken in other respects.
81 only have one that seemed at all
nervous about it, and she did not mind
it the second day. She is naturally
very shy, but since she has been
broken she comes up to me in the
most friendly manner and has quite
lost her nervousness. All my horses
are as fond of me as so many dogs,
and lick my hands, and show every
sign of affection when they see me. I
generally assist at the breaking pro-
cess to insure that no rough usage
should take place. "-[ Western Agri-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If vegetables are not boiled tender
they are very indigestible, and much
more troublesome during their resi-
dence in the stomach than undone
meat.
Be careful not to let meat or poultry
remain in the water after it is done
enough. IF care is not exercised here
the meat will become sodden and lose
its flavor.
Rancid butter may be restored by
melting it in water bath, with some
coarsely powdered animal charcoal
which has been thoroughly sifted from
dust and strained through flannel.
Meat may be kept several days in
the height of summer, sweet and good,
by lightly covering it with bran and
hanging it in some high or windy
room, or in a passage where there is a
current of air.
Mczlds should be creased for any
steamed mixtures; wet in cold water
for jelly, creams, &C., and neither wet
nor grease if to be lined with cake.
A mould of jelly will cool quicker if
placed in pan of ice-water than in
the ice chest.
Never put pans and kettles half FILL
ed with water on the stove to- soak.
It only hardens whatever may have
adhered to the kettle, and makes it
much more difficult to clean. Keep
them full of cold water and soak them
away from the heat.
Never use q ragged or inty dish
cloth. The lint collects around the
sink spout and ofsen causes serious
obstruction. A dish-mopS is best for
cups and cleanest dishes, but strong
linen cloth should be used for every
thing which requires hard rubbing.
A new tin coffee pot, if never washed
on the inside with soap, may be kept
much sweeter. Wash the outside and
rinse the inside thoroughly with clear
water. Then put it on the stove to
dry, and when dry rub the inside
well with clean, dry cloth. All the
brown sediment may be wiped off in
that way, but a soapy dishcloth should
never be put inside.
To keep game from tainting draw as
soon as it comes into your possession;
rinse with soda and water, then with
pure cold water; wipe dry and rub
them lightly with mixture Of finc salt
and black pepper. II you must keep
them some time, put in the cavity of
each fowl piece Of charcoal. Hang
them in cool, daxk place with piece
- doth thrown over them.

Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in strength,
SO that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when theca
is opened for use. AT subsequent baEings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
isheavy, and the -four eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health. by accepting any sub
sttute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in absolutely pure powder
1t is always strictly reliable It is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Poultry need shade in hot weather.
Only perfectly fresh eggs can be
preserved.
Don't fail to provide the hens with
green food.
The horses hoof is what the black
smiths make it.
To allow the calf to run with the
dam is bad for the milking.
Horses need a variety Of scenery as
well as change in their work.
Any kind of stock will depreciate in
value if the ration is cut short.
The more comforts you give the COW
the more profits she will give you.
Breed to type; indiscriminate
breeding is an improbable business.
Peach trees should be thinned as
soon as the peaches become as large as
marbles.
The man who can grow the high
class roadster can put his own price on
the product.
Don't sell your wheat for less money
per ton than you have to pay for COW
feed next winter.
Poultry in an orchard are benefit
in two ways; they destroy insects and
enrich the ground.
Lambs should be given extra care
when they are to be weaned that they
may be kept growing.
Rain and the action of the atmos-
phere cause all kinds of feed to lose
their nutritiye qualities.
The high-class roadster is the one
farm product which is scarce today,
and wise is he who can produce
it.
Hay may be very high next winter
and good second crop of clover saved
may enable you to sell timothy at
good profit.
A hay knife will be just the thing to
cut down the stack of grass, weeds
and stubble you will get off your wheat
field this fall.
Common everyday dust is the best
exterminator for chicken lice. Give
them plenty and place it where they
can revel in it.
The indestructible stoneware drink
ing fountains are as good as any kind
we have seen, and have the advantage
of being cheap.
Little chicks will do better in the
garden than any other place, if you
can confine the hens to prevent their
making trouble.
By providing the hogs with supply
Of salt, charcoal and ashes where they
can help themselves they will be much
less liable to root.
II you have good second crop Of
clover and do not need it for pasture
or seed, cut it for winter feed; it will
grow up again. and this second cutting
may add to the root growth. thus inn
proving the stool more than if the seq
ond crop Were left to die down.

FATIENING OF SWINE.

various experiments IN the 1atten1ng
Of swine were made at the Central Ex-
pertinent Farm of Canada, and the re-
suits are given in the Bulletin No. 15.
1t appears that the swine which were
fed upon ration containing skim
milk were lustier and more robust in
appearance than those fed on grain
only. There was no appreciable diff
ference in the number of pounds of
grain required to Y lduce pound of
increase in the live weight of swine,
when fed steamed and warm, as com
pared with it when fed raw and cold.
The conditions required for the
profitable feeding of swine are clean,
dry, warm quarters protected from
wind and draughts, as much whole
some feed-if grain preferably ground
fne-a they will eat clean, three
times day, and free access to mix
ture OF salt and ashes, to sods, or to
soil.
To meet the requirements Of foreign
markets, swine with lean meat are
wanted larger numbers of them should
be fed and fattened during the sum
mer months; and they should be sold
alive by the farmer or feeder in order
that they may be slaughtered at pack
ing houses, where the carcasses can be
cut and cured in a uniformly satis-
factory manner, suited to the prefer
ences Of different buyers. New York

PROTECTING WORK HORSES FROM FLIES.
During the autumn months, when
flies are most numerous, the work
horses, unless thoroughly protected,
expend nearly as much strength in
fighting the flies as they do in actual
farm labor. OF course some horses
are more sensitive to flies than others,
and many serious accidents to both
man and beast have resulted from
horses becoming tangled in the har-
ness in their frantic endeavor to rid
themselves of the little black pests.
The best protection is fly sheets made
from some thin, strong fabric. They
should reach below the traces on both
sides when plowing, and should be
made in two parts, the first extend
ing from the collar backward,
while the second should cover
the neck, being secured with
strings at the throat and near the col
lar. To guard against the bot fly, tie
large tassel Of cord to the center Of
the throat strap under the neck, and
secure several strings of leather or
twine to the martingale, letting them
extend down to the knees between the
fore legs. The constant swinging
movement Of the tassel and strings
prevents the fly from singing or de-
posting eggs. While on the road q
coarse net Of leather or cord will be
sufficient. especially if the horse moves
on trot # the legs of horses be
washed in water in which tansy leaves
have been boiled, flies will avoid all
such portions for several days thereaf-
ter. The large black and green horse
