seriously burned ono day last week.
She was engaged in washing out doors
when by some means her dress caught
fire. There was no one present to ex.

Customers may, with due care and pa
tience, be educated from one ounce OF
salt In their butter to half an ounce, but
this education. let it be remembered,
should only be done where we are sure
Of making the finest grade. Even SO with
cheese, when good milk is available, Gus
toners may gradually be trained in eat
ing a properly cured cheese instead Of
half cured curd. and to their surprise
they will find that cheese does agree with
them. Granted that such education is
slow, granted also that it is difficult un-
less the maker is in direct communica-
ton with the consumer, we claim the
object once obtained is well worth the
trouble, as It would certainly increase
the consumption Of cheese enormously.

Cheesemaking In Georgia.

We make three pounds Of cheese from
the same quantity Of milk that would be
required for one pound of butter. Three
pounds of cheese. 45 cents; one pound of
butter, % to 80 cents. My idea is that
farmers in the rural districts, away from
towns and cities, may find find it to
their interest and convenience to run CO.
operative dairies to supply themselves
and afford surplus for the nearest mar
ket. If cheesemalzing should be estab-
lished in the south we would not have
to go through with the evolution in proc
ess that has finally resulted in the fac
tory system in the north
The northern people have blazed the
way. Wecan follow close behind. Our
lands are cheap and yet productive. If
cheese and butter dairying is profitable
in the north on land worth $50 to 800
per acre. why not in Georgia, where
good land can be had at one-fourth Of
these prices? The cooperative system
would seem to me the best-one farmer
to put up the buildings and supply the
outfit and do the work for his neighbors

receptions Of wild Birds.

Falcons, hawks-the largest species
can compress their feathers and look very
slim, if they think it necessary to do so.
AS to the owls, they can hump up into
any position they think most suitable. It
is useless to look for these self preserving
traits in any of the family kept in zoo
logical collections, for the birds are SC
accustomed to see large numbers Of peo-
pie passing and repassing, OF standing in
front of them, that they treat the whole
matter with perfect Indifference. They
know that at certain time their food
will be brought them, and that they are
otherwise perfectly safe. Then the rap
torres in a wild state have bloom on
their plumage like the bloom on bunch
Of grapes, which is not often seen when
in captivity.-Cornh Magazine.

IT WAS BUT A DREAM.

Oh, 1t was but dream I had
While the musician Played
And here the sky, and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crow.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze,
As DER field Of marigolds
Our eyes SWAN DER the seas;
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up &om out the underworld
We saw the mermen SWIM
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of juno
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER he realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About his diadem.
The sea gull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast,
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The eehoes of their songs.
Oh, it Was but a dream l had
While the musician Played
For here the sky and here the glad

And here the laughing ripples ran.
And here the roses grew
That threw q kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.

A special machine has been devised for
effecting the trying of brewers grains in
vacuum at low temperature. BREW
ers grains" are now largely employed
for feeding COWS and horses, but the high
nutritive value of the spent grains known
by that name is not generally known
The dessicated product Of the new proc
ess has proved to be Of highly salts
factory character, being free from tho
peculiar bitter taste SO often possessed
by brewers grains and showing on anal
ysis very high percentage Of proteida
and fat producing material.
The advantages claimed for the vac
uum drying process are: The lowest
working expenses with greatest capac-
ity, rapid drying at lowest tempera-
ture and consequent excellent quality
of the dried grains; no loss Of material
or nutritive properties, as the grains are
not pressed before drying; clean and
simple process, and the avoidance Of
vapor in the drying rooms or vicinity

some Rrrone snnerstitions.

The ancient custom of whirling the
teacup and telling fortunes by the dregs,
seeing kiss here, ring there, clear sky,
or tears, is now known as part of the
old divination which even the more en-
lightened of the heather ridiculed. The
notion Of disaster with IS at table has
been exploded long ago; the idea that
Friday is day Of Ill luck, that any Of
Gods days can be days Of i'll luck, ranks
one adhering to it as among the low and
ignorant.
That one must not trim ones nails on
Sunday, lest one do something one is
ashamed of before the next Sunday; that
the scissors dropping into the floor, in
stead of upon it, announce coming
guest; that the rocking of an empty
chair gives spiritual warnings; that the
baying of a dog at night, the breaking Of
a looking glass. the putting on Of an
others Grape, all prophesy death-the be-
lief in these and kindred superstitions
and the expression or exercise Of such
belief gives one 4 low caste, and is no
longer to Be iildulged in with safety by
those ambitious Of social correctness and
elegance. Harper Bazaar.

to double the number Of cows on the same
land for man Of moderate means?
Mr.. Stuessy has 81 acres of land, two
Of which are not arabic. If these two
acres are properly located, let him use
them for pasture, Let him devote an
acre or more to buildings and garden

10 by 16 feet by 20 feet deep.
Do all the feeding in the stable and

We very much question whether a
creamery can be built and equipped SO
as to manufacture only 100 pounds of

building and cost of running will be
practically the same as for business

count the outfit 81 200 and freight, the
building $500 to 81 500, and the cost Of

and repairs, at from $3.50 to $3.50 per

THAT AVERAGE COW
She Is Poor Creature In the state of New
York

York.
1t is pretty well known that the dairy
row Of the state Of New York will dur
ing the season give just about 5000
pounds Of milk, which will make about
1876 pounds Of butter or 300 pounds of
cheese. At the market prices for butter
and cheese this will return to the owner
D gross income of from $25 to $50. Now,
you know just as well as l do that it
takes just abont this $25 or $50 to sup
port this average COW during the year,
and the owner has the pleasure of milk
ing her or 10 months for his trouble.
Now, we shall not as a rule find the
profitable and improbable cows in herds
by themselves, but we shall find them
more or less mixed through every herd
in the state There are some that viii
probably contain a considerable number
Of those that are neither profit or loss.
There will be very few herds that do not
contain at least few profit producing
animals, and there are probably no herds
in which there are not some animals that
are kept at a loss, SO that practically
every man in the state has animals be-
longing to elch Of these three classes
and it is his first problem to find out how
many he has in each class and which
COWS they are. How shall he set about
it?
We have two easy and very simple
ways. First, to weigh the milk Of each
COW at every milking and find out abso-
lutely how many pounds Of milk each
COW gives; secondly, test it frequently
with the Babcock tester and find out ex-
actly how great percentage Of fat is
contained in the milk of each animal,
and then by a simple process of arith-
metic the number of pounds of fat each
animal produces is readily obtained
Having now found out what each ami
NAL is producing our first step in i'm
provement is one of selection-that is,
the animals that do not come up to GER
tain standard must be discarded. ed.-Pro-
fessor Wing in the Practical Dairyman.
