The Dairy Product.

1t is impossible to tell by single
test what a COW is worth for butter.
A dairyman who wants to know the
real value OF his kline must extend the
test over month at least keeping a
daily record ofeach cows performance.
An average OF the herd is worth little
because it does not reveal the worth
OF the individuals composing it. The
dairyman who never tests his cow is
working in the dark.
According to circular recently is-
sued by the Minnesota Dairy School,
the essentials for making the fanciest
OF fancy butter are shotgun can,
set into n homemade tank OF cold
water, and ton OF cleanliness, COM
pounded in II good revolving churn."
Experts don't know everything.
In illustration OF this trite remark it
Is related that Vice President Nor
ton sent n sample of his fancy extra
quality sweet cream butter, made for
several extremely fastidious custo-
mers i'll New York, to the recent food
show Mt Madison Square Garden,
and also II sample OF butter made
from gravity-raised fipened cream.
The expert judges passed over the
former rs quite unworthy OF notice,
while the latter, for which, probably,
no extra price would be paid in the
market, was scored very high. Doubt
less Mr.. Morton will go on calmly
making the extra sweet cream butter,
and taking the extra price for it,
regardless OF the opinion of experts
who don't know everything.
Why Bhould not the farmers oil
America aim to have, most assured
ly, the best they can afford. In re.
gard to some things they can't afford
to have anything but the best. This is
emphatically true ms respects dairy
cows. A COW whose butter yield
doesn't pay Tor her feed is certainly II
more expensive animal to keep than
one whose feeding costs little more,
but whose product yields handsome
profit every season.
A fine COW is worth more in every
way than a poor, scrubby specimen
She is worth more in the satisfaction
she gives her owner, In the
stimulus she affords to bet.
ter management i'll stable and
dairy. She is worth more
for the quality OF her dung, the result
of richer feeding. And She is worth
morein the superior quality and larger
quantity OF her butter yield, and the
enhanced price obtained for it. 1.-THE
best" said II wise woman, 'is good
enough for me-" That would be n
good motto for the dairy farmer.
AS rule, butter contains about
fifteen per cent. OF moisture, 8 pei
cent OF foreign matter, such as casein,
buttermilk, salt. etc, and so per cent.
OF butter fat. The foreign elements
except salt-cause rancidity and
should be eliminated to the utmost
possible extent.

STONES THAT WILL BEND.

Certain Brazilian Specimens Are
Flexible Without Going te
Pieces.
OF most stones rigidity is one OF tn,
most marked characteristics and it is
hard for upinformed people to be-
lieve that there are any stones that
can be bent. There are some, how
ever, that are more flexible thar
wool. and berd readily under a slight
pressure without breaking. The
most abundant OF these is itacolu-
mite, or flexible sandstone, which is
found in large deposits in Brazil.
This stone is composed OF separate
grains of sand cemented together with
a mineral closely resembling mica or
sericite.
The minerals, being quite flexible
in themselves, confer the same prop
erty upon the sandstone us n whole.
The way in which the cementing ma
terial was introduced into itacolu-
mite is not easy OF explanation. Mica
and sericite are not soluble and could
not have been deposited by water,
like calcite or silica.
1t is most probable that they were
originally introduced into the form
OF clay or some similar material,
and afterward metamorphosed by
heat, pressure and superheated steam
into micaceous mineral. Instances OF
q similar change OF one mineral
species into another are very COM

Cottop.ptekiny Machine.

A newly.inventsd cotton picking machine
is now being used in the South. The ma
chine consists Of . series Of brass cylinders
set parallel In . frame, one above another,
which operate by turning rapidly from both
sides of the cotton stalk, their motion being
derived from the wheels OF the machine,
which run in the middle of the cotton rows,
causing the machine TO stradde the row Of
cotton to be operated on.
As one side Of the cylinder 1. presented to
the cotton, sharp-polnted needles protrude
through the holes perforated In the cylinder,
which gather the cotton, and rs the cylinders
continue to revolve, the needles drop back out
of sight, releasing the cotton, which falls into
boxes on both sides OF the machine From
these the cotton Is conducted to a sack hung
ut the rear.
The machine will pick between 5000 and
1000 pounds of cotton day, it is said, where
US a negro will pick about $50 pounds in the
same time-if he feels so disposed.
The important features of the machine are
its weight, which Is only 900 pounds ian in-
dispensable factor, since the fields are apt to
be muddy the cylinders, with disappearing
teeth, precluding the usual clogging in such
machines; its derivation Of power, wherein 1t
is similar TO moving machine, and the car
rying away of the cotton as fast US 1t is
picked TO the sack in the rear.

Effect of Now England Culture.

In Portland, Maine, few rods from the
depot, on Commercial street, / noticed per-
haps ak or eight English sparrows, picking,
with all the strength and vengeance their
little mouths and bodies could command, at a
large and extremely tough sailors cracker
watched them closely, wishing to know how
they could manage such n hard and difficult
case.
The engine began to puff; they appeared to
see the way out, and exhibited forethought
and wisdom that TO me was marvel OF won
der. The birds surrounded the cracker, each
bird taking strong hold Lifting the crack
err from the ground, all working together,
they placed the cracker directly and carefully
upon the top of the rail; then away they went
to the branches OF the trees.
The cars passed over the cracker, putting II
in condition they wished to have it. Nc
sooner had the cars got Just beyond the
cracker than fifty or more birds of the same
kind came down from the limbs and enjoyed
the lunch prepared by the intelligence OF
wild birds that had no bringing up whatever.

Early M aturity.

Early maturity is not entirely with
the breed, but any good stockman
can increase that quality in his herd
in a remarkable degree by proper feed
ing. Feed the calf well, and you en-
courage and intensity the tendency tc
put on flesh that procures the full
growth OF the animal in IL short time,
and thus induces early maturity in
it's progeny, ms well as the tendency
to put on flesh rapidly. These two
essential qualities can be rapidly in.
creased in any herd, with nm increase
OF profit. The stochman who will
make the most profit out of his stock
industry must learn to breed and feed
his stock with special reference tic
these essentials.

A cIrY.s coon FORTUNE.
T. Louis About to Receive . Million
Dollars from Unusual sourcss-

6uueatlohal advance
ST. LOUIS. Feb. 1o.-Before the end
of the year St. Louis will have q
million dollars which it will not know
how to spend. The sale Of the
old city hall, and its site,
which will be abandoned by all the
city offices this summer for the great
building in Washington Park, has
been decided on, and the Union Mar
ket. ugly but valuable, will follow.
The two are worth together consider.
ably over 4 million dollars, but part
of the money obtained by their sale
will have to be spent in buying an
other market place for the hucksters.
City officials generally believe Tat
this money should be spent in a lump,
but there have been dozen ways pro-
posed of spending it. The city may
build conduit SYSTEM; it may. run
another great sewer along the bed Of
the River des Peres, or it may estab-
fish free baths. The money will be
enough for one of these objects but
not all.
st. Louis was the first city in the
United States that took from Germany
the plan OF teaching children in kim
dergartens and from here the idea
spread all over the country. This
whole week has been devoted by the
teachers of the city to the celebration
of the twentieth anniversary of the
opening of the kindergarten here. Ex-
hibitions of kindergarten work were
given in some of the schools each day,
and there were several lectures and
essays on the system, among them
one by Prof. William T. Harris, the
first superintendent of public schools
here, and after that one of the teachers
in the famous Concord School OF Phil
osophy.
Visitors to the St Louis Exposition
this year, as well as the tourists at the
Worlds Fair, will be surprised by the
exhibit this city will make at both
places of the excellent work its manual
training schools are doing. Educators
generally SO well understand the
superiority of the St Louis schools of
this kind that one fifth of the entire
space reserved at the Worlds Fair for
this sort of exhibits has been given to
our manual training men, and they
will make n much more complete show
of the work at the local Exposition.
The manual training classes here are
attended by the sons of the very
wenlthiest parents, and many n young
heir to a fortune, coming out of the
University with his degree, is as well
able to build his own house us his
father is to pay for it.
