MILK IN HOT WEATHER.


------->--
Best Way For Farmer and Shipper to Take
Care of 1t.
Give in few simple rules the best way OF
handling milk in hot weather: l. To keep 1t
sweet for shipping to town. 2. To get the best
sesults for butter making. Describe the plan
to be followed where one has ice and modern
bonveniences and also where these are lacking.
When milk is to be shipped for city.
consumption, it should be most carefully
Ind thoroughly strained immediately
litter milking. It should next be aerated
thoroughly by any process at command,
but some method is essential if we are
to have it in the best possible condition.
AS soon as it is aerated it should be
pooled. Most milk shippers have a sup
ply of ice and large tank into which
the cans Of milk are set. Ice is put in
the tank, and the milk is rapidly cooled,
being stirred at frequent intervals to
prevent the cream from rising. Where
ice is not at hand. aspiring Of cold water,
standing at 48 or 80 degrees, will answer,
though it is not so reliable.
Many Orange county IN. " milk
men rely on springs. especially where
they can have stream Of the spring
water running steadily into the tank,
but even then in very hot weather their
milk will. on occasion, spoil en- route to
the city. Thorough aeration will do
much toward keeping milk sweet. When
milk is to be made into butter, aeration
is not desirable, unless in cases where
vegetation imparting disagreeable odors
to the milk has crept into the pastures.
In such case, slight aeration would
improve the flavor of the butter with
only very small loss of cream. Where
creamery is at hand, the milk is at
once put into it and thoroughly iced.
This brings the cream rapidly up. Or
dinarily it will be ready for skimming,
If desirable, in eight hours. No butter
maker today is in situation to compete
with the best trade if he is obliged to do
without ice, though there are many
diaries where no ice is used that turn
out excellent butter.
Springs can be used with deep cans
as in the case of milk or it may be set
in shallow pans on racks in the coolest
cellar at command. In neither case will
success be as complete as if ice had been
used. The milk will coagulate before
the cream is separated, and there is con-
sequent loss. 1t is important when
cream is raised in the old fashioned
pans that the cellar be as well ventilat-
ed as is compatible with GOODNESS. 1t
should be used only for milk cellar
nothing else.-Rural New Yorker.

Feed Tn ana Breed On.

An eastern paper speaks of careful
dairyman who, by breeding and good
management of his dairy during 10 years,
raised the standard of his herd from 100
pounds of butter per COW, which is the
average for New York state, to more
than double that and has cows with a
record of 440 pounds per year. Cues
toned as to the breed from which best
results may be obtained, he replied,
ssGrade herds are far more preferable
than thoroughbreds. Farmers, as a
rule, do not fully appreciate the fact
that about 80 per cent of the cost Of food
given to cattle is returned to them in
the shape of manure.
Of separators, now used extensively in
some localities, he said, 'sIn the saving
of the butter fats separator which costs
$125 can be paid for in two years from a
dairy of eight cows" The professor
spoke in the most positive terms of the
good results of dehorning. He has prac,
ticed it in his herd, which he described
as now ''gentle and passive as flock OF
sheep" He began with vicious bull,
which had previously gored valuable
horse badly, and continued until the
whole herd s'was rendered powerless, as
you may say, to indict injury. "-Ex-

Projecting vines Against Insects.

A correspondent of The Country Gen
tleman tells that he has protected his
vines of all kinds, including melons, by
the timely use Of the following:
Take equal parts gypsum Common
land plaster, such as farmers sow on
their land) and wood ashes, dry and finei
mix well. AS soon as bugs begin work
ing on the vines wet them thoroughly
with a sprinkler or otherwise and innne-
diately dust the vines with the mixture,
throwing some around the stalk. Dust
ing the mixture on wet vines causes it
to form slight crust that will stay on
several days. Seldom do I have to go
over my vines more than three times.
Sometimes have found the bugs work
ing on the under side of the leaves. Then
by turning the leaves up wetting and
busting is all that is needed.

PEACE TO HIS AsHEst
Obituary Notice of Old Dictator. Grand
father of Nancy Hanks.

Obituary Notice of Old Dictator, Grand
father of Nancy Hanks.
A magnificent type of the trotting
form was Dictator. We copy his picture
and obituary sendoff from The Rural New
Yorker as follows:
The great troSting stallion Dictator
died at Ashland, KY, of old age. He
was foaled 80 years ago in Orange
county, N. Y, son of the great Ham
bletonian and full brother to the famous
Dexter. The black mare Clara was bred
year after year to Hambletonian, and
Dexter was one of her first colts. Five
years later she dropped Dictator, small
brown colt destined to be known as per-
haps the most useful son Of HANDLE
tonian. Early in life Dictator did not
show much speed. He had a good gait.
and that was about all. Most of the
sons of Hambletonian were like him in
this respect, for Dexter was years old
before he made his record OF 2:171.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-07-26

The fact that Dictator was full brother
to Dexter helped him greatly in the stud.
Dexter was gelding, and naturally
horsemen were willing to patronize his
full brother. AS a sire Dictator was
wonderfully successful. Among his sons
are Jay-Eye-See, 2:10; Director, s:17, and
Phallas, 2:13a. He has 48 sons and
daughters with records below 2:20. He
is also the sire of Nancy Lee, whose colt,
Nancy Hanks, has record of 1904. We
are told that Dictator ceased to be of
service four or five years ago, and moth
ing but the most assiduous care has kept
the old horse alive since then. Fo1syears
past he has been fed on ground oats
sweetened with molasses, and the same
molasses had to be none other than the
best New Orleans brand or the old fell
low would refuse to eat.

FIRE MARSHAL EDWARD W. MURPHY.
Chief Edward W. Murphy, and they
know whereof they speak. Murphy's
splendid heroism at the cold storage
warehouse fire was not by any means
his first exhibition Of remarkable cour-
age. Since he became a fireman in 1875
he has saved more people from death by
fire than any other man in America.
He has been eight times honorably men
toned for bravery in general orders
written by Chief Swenie, who is not Law
ish of his praise.
He was the first winner Of the Lam
bert Tree medal, which is given every
year as token Of honor for the most
courageous act done by Chicago fire.
man. But for the rule that prevents a
man taking the medal twice he might
have had it each year since, for not a
twelvemonth has gone by in which some
brave deed was not recorded of him.
He has been twice dangerously hurt
on his way to fire and has had many
narrow escapes from death by suffoca-
ton.
At the recent fire, when his white heI-
met disappeared behind cloud of smoke,
the people who watched thought he was
surely going to his death. But while
they shuddered with apprehension be-
low he was staggering across the burn
ing roof with the broken body of his
comrade in his arms. With Captain
Kennedy and Fireman Rehfeldt, who
had gone to his assistance, he. shared the
mighty shout of applause from the crowd
that welcomed his appearance, but he
was the last man to descend the ladder,
and there were tears in his eyes as he
saw the ambulance bearing away the
man he had done SO much to save.

feet above the earth. 1t has shingled
roof and clapboarded sides and contains
three small rooms. A ladder leads up to
the front door, and another ladder leads
down inside the tree, which is hollow, to
cellar beneath the roots.
Razewell afirms that he likes his
strange habitation better than ordinary
houses. 1t is sheltered from the sun and
rain in summer by the surrounding
foliage, and in winter it is above the
snow, and the branches protect it from
the cold winds. Before he went to live
there Huiitt suffered greatly from ague,
but he never since has had a symptom
of the disease. He makes friends of the
birds and the squirrels and cares for no
J other company, but is quite happy and
not of morose disposition, though he is
certainly an odd character.
His oddness is inherited. His father
lost his reason trying to invent a perpet-
ual motion machine, but Hulitt never
wasted time on things like that. He is a
shoemaker and has a snug bank &C
count, besides owning the farm on which
his queer dwelling is located. He has
lived in his tree for 25 years, and during
all that time has not looked into news
paper or manifested any interest in cur
rent news.
Hazewell's selection of his dwelling
place was the result of rash anti-elec-
ton promise. 1t was during the Grant
Seymour campaign Of 1868. Hazewell
was Democrat and whooped things up
for Seymour. The postmaster was a
Republican and talked as strongly for
Grant. The two men had many an ar
dent discussion, and at the close of an
argument one day the postmaster said
he'd be darned if he wouldn't leave the
country if Seymour were elected.
SWELL" said Hazewell, 81 won't leave
the country, but if Grant is elected I'll
climb a tree and stay there"
Grant was elected, and Hazewell
climbed his tree, and there he has lived
the life of hermit ever since, only
coming down to do his farm work and
transact other necessary business.
