Origin OF Tea.

1t is difficult nowadays to imagine
how the japanese managed TO live
without tea; everybody drinks it at
oil hours of the day, and the poorest
people rarely get chance of drink
ing anything stronger, and yet it is,
as things went in old japan, n com
paratively recent introduction. Tea
was introduced with Buddhism from
China, and though some plants were
brought as early as the ninth century,
1t was not much grown until the end
OF the twelfth. Daruma, an Indian
saint of the sixth century, often rep
resented in japanese art either cross
ing the ocean on reed or sitting q
monument of patience with his hands
IN his sleeves, was the father of the
tea-plant. After years of sleepless
watching and prayer he suddenly got
drowsy, and at last his eyelids closed
and he peacefully slept. When he
awoke he was SO ashamed of this par
donable weakness tlat he cut off the
offending eyelids and threw them ou
the ground, where they instantly took
root and sprouted into the shrub
which has ever since had power to
keep the world awake. -Harper's
Magazine.

HOW TO EXAMINE A HORSES HooFs.


To examine the hoofs and heels of
your horses. says an eminent veterin-
ary authority, have the shoes removed
before your eyes, examine the frog"
look into it closely to see if "thrush"
exists. Have piece of thin stick, or,
better an old paper knife, pass it
through the center frog cleft, then, if
"thrush" exists, the those" will know
it by the smell of the paper knife. If
thrush does exist, have the foot washed
out clean with warm water and car
bolic soap, then dry it off and apply
calomel. Fix it in the cleft with some
medicated cotton, or raw will do. Re-
peat this every night until cure is
effected.
Next examine the heels, the inside
heel especially, fo1 corns may exist,
and now is the time to treat them and
prevent lameness in summer time,
when the roads are hard and dry, and
you have use for every horse You own.
Look for sand cracks and quarter
cracks. Let these have attention at
once, or the dry weather and roads
will open these cracks, creating trouble
some lameness. Have shoes we'll seated,
so that the weight of the animal will
rest on the horny wall of the hoof and
not on the sole. Never allow the wall
of the hoof to be rasped. 1t is wrong.
The outside of the hoof is of fine,
delicate nature, made up of fine horny
pillars. This outside surface is very
smooth and shiny, although it may
not look SO, but when you examine an
unsophisticated colt you will find it
SO. The smith will get his rasp on it,
if you do not look out, and then we
have sand and quarter cracks.
Take care that the nail holes are
high enough without being too high,
at the heels most especially, for this
binds the hoofs and causes horse to
go like cat on hot bricks. A good,
firm clip at the toe is of great service
in keeping the shoe firm, and when
the shoe "fits the foot" it will keep it
in its proper place till worn out

cows. The rations may be most sci
entifically correct, and fed in exact
proportions, and yet fail to produce
or return the first cost, which should
not have exceeded from fifteen to
twenty cents day per COW. The best
dairymen claim to make butter worth
fifty cents pound on ration not ex-
ceeding thirteen cents n day. But it
will be seen that when the ration costs
! twenty cents, the COW must give Mt
least one pound of butter day in
order to pay her board bill and do
much better this, if any money is to
be made out of her.
With COW in good condition, fat
and fresh, and the ration properly
mixed, the test may be said to have
just begun. The individual charac-
teristics of each COW are not to be
studied. One will find big eaters and
small eaters, big mixers and small
mixers, rich mixers and those that
give thin, poor milk. All the vir-
tues, Or all the faults are not to be
found in any single COW. A general
average must be reached. For this do
sible. Weigh the milk of each COW at
every milking, and test the butter fat
in the milk often enough to learn
what her stan ling is. Now comes
the vital point of how much to feed
her. Having learned this, the work
will not have to be repeated during
her life.
When ration is made to suit the
standard, then apply it to each COW in
turn. Note the cows weight, and
start with a small quantity of feed,
daily increasing it up to the full
amount that she can be induced to
eat up clean. Hold her at this heavy
feed for a few days and see at what
point in the increase of feed she re-
turned the greatest profit. If you can
get no satisfactory results, then change
the proportions of ration. If she is
very thin in flesh, increase the fat
forming parts of the ration. Keep ex-
perimenting with the COW until satis-
fled that she cannot be made profit
able, then put her out of the herd.
One good way to determine what part
of the ration to increase, is to first
feed the COW about all she will eat and
then try and tempt her with handfuls
of bran, corn meal, oil meal, or what
ever makes up the ration, to see
which she seems to need the most.
Such tests are never conclusive, but
they often lead to good results. The
point is to study the COWS. Each one
has o different nature from the other,
and the only way to make money with
them is to get a thorough knowledge
of each one and then treat each in
such a manner that she can return all
that she is capable of doing. To make
money one must have good COWS, we'll
fed up to their extreme limit of profit,
and then make good article of milk,
butter OF cheese. e.-American Agricul-
turist.

Food by Chemistry.

Philadelphia has n chemist who be-
lieves that meats of all sorts and flaw
ors will ultimately be produced in the
laboratories of the chemist. Says he:
"Within this century | expect to see
synthetic steaks, roasts and chops en-
tered upon the bills of fare at our
leading hotels and restaurants, and
they will be prepared 50 artistically as
to appeal to the sense of beauty as
well as to the appetite. At first, of
course, in order to appease the natu
raj prejudices against anything SO
novel, choice will be afforded be-
tween the real and artificial, but
eventually the killing of animals for
food will be regarded in all civilized
countries as barbarous. That this is
not an absurd prediction is we'll as
sured to those who have observed what
synthetic chemistry has already done
in exactly reproducing mustard, sugar,
butter, ice, lemon juice and flevoring
essences, besides madder, turpentino
and many other compounds used ex-
tensively in commerce"

TOO MUCH WASHING.

Now and then as one looks over the
pages of the dairy paper they will be
confronted with the statement from
some one to the effect that flavor can
be washed out of butter, therefore
don't do it; and then the other
fellow laughs and says: 'Listen to
the old fogy." 1t is more than posi-
bic that there is more than grain of
truth in the matter, and butter can be
washed too much and that compro-
mise can be struck to the advantage
of the two parties.
Not that it is known that butter fats
have no flavor, and what is known rs
aroma in butter is the result of the de-
composition of the casein and sugar,
legged on" by the albumen, it is seen
that with very cold water and exces-
sive washings, that the buttermilk that
has the flavor in its keeping, could be
30 thoroughly removed that the fats
would be practically left destitute of
associated flavor. AS it would be i'm
possible to get out all of the butter
milk, the butter would in short time
develop another stock of flavor from
the traces of casein and albumen that
would yet remain.
In usual practice there will be suf-
fcient amount of flavoring material
left in the butter after two washings,
and as rule does not impair the flavor.
But this flavor means one thing in one
section, and quite another in distant
part of some dairy locality. Where
pronounced flavor is wanted, less wash
ing should be given and full sailing,
but where delicate aroma and bouquet
flavor is sought, more washing and
less salt, and worked down to posi-
bic ten per cent. of moisture would be
the correct "form. Practical Far

The Ways OF the Milkmau.

Dairymon who are in the habit of
diluting their milk with water have
found out an ingenious plan of circum-
venting the public analysts. Under
the act OF Parliament they can request
that their milk shall be analyzed by
the chemists Mt Somerset House, and
this they now do. Their object is to
gain little time, for milk quickly be-
gins to ferment, and it is not possible
to test with accuracy decomposed
fluid, and say what it consisted of be-
fore decomposition set III. DIR. Wynter
Blythe instances recent case of n
dealer who sold milk diluted with ut
least eight per cent. of water. He
appealed to Somerset House, and
after little delay Somerset House de-
clared that there was no evidence of
the addition of water, SO that the case
was dismissed. That he had neverthe-
less made no mistake in the matter
DIR. Blythe is certain, rs the milk had
been subjected to an Independent anal
ysis by Mr.. Colwell, who agreed with
him. The only way out of the difficulty
would be for each sanitary authority
to have freezing chamber, in which
reference samples of milk, ETC., could
be frozen and preserved. Such
chamber would also be found useful
for preserving meat supposed to be
diseased until the evidence on both
sides could be heard by a court of
justice. London News.

An ill-fitting harness often makes

The time to go into business is

Plant food can nowhere be so
cheaply obtained as from barn yard
manure. This is particularly true
when the latter can be had for the

Hens are in the best condition to
lay when their crops are empty. Hence
they should be fed sparingly during
the day, but have hearty meal given
them at night.

Station best results were obtained
from sowing turnips in drills twenty
inches apart and thinning to eight

Now is the time to be giving special
attention to the rams intended for use
next fall. Keep them healthy and fat,
and if they are given little grain
from time to time they will relish it
and it will help them.
Corn grown for forage or ensilage
should be planted sufficient distance to
allow good growth of ears, and the
best stage to cut to secure the most
dry matter is when the grains have
glazed, or dented in dent varieties, or
when newly ripe.
Sunfower seed, it is we'll known, is
good egg producing food for chick
ems; it is also fine food to give the
plumage glossy appearance for ex-
hibition purposes. The Russian sun
flower is very productive, and may be
planted in fence corners or out-of-the.
way places.
1t is said that peach yellows may be
largely if not wholly avoided by the
use of potash-not the meagre 100
pounds per acre, but an application OF
ten times that amount. Proof of this
statement is offered in the fact that
peach trees grown on new land are al
ways healthy and vigorous.
A dry COW should be fed we'll
enough to keep her in good condition,
but not so well as to make her fat.
1t is not to be forgotten that tho con-
ditlon of the calf depends great y on
that of the COW, and that this will
suffer before the COW does if the food
is not sufficient to maintain both in
good health.
Professor Robertson has ascertained
that by churning sweet cream at forty
six degrees temperature all the butter
fat can be recovered, but it takes
about thirty minutes longer to do tho
churning. Ripened cream he churns
at from fiftyfour to tifty-fve degrees
in summer and fifty eight to sixty de-
grees in winter.

WASHING FLASvTIs.

| "All shrunk-up and absolutely good
for nothing" said tho mother OF a
family as she looked over the stock oi
summer fannels bought with tho ut
most care and at great expense. "And
the worst of it all is that, say what ]
will, 1 cannot get my fannels washed
carefully. One of my laundresses is an
enthusiast on cold water; another has
always regulated her work by the
thermometer, and the third declares
1t makes no difference whether the
water is hot or cold, they will shrink
anyhow, and do not think that there
is any wonder that they do, consider
ing the'way they handle them.
"These women, good, careful souls,
every one of them, put the flannels
onto the washboard and literally maui
them and grind them in their efforts
to make them clean, all of which is as
unnecessary as it is ruinous. Some
times in despair I do them myself, and
the consequences are that they do not
shrink. I use suds, pretty strong, and
with very little sol soda in it, and
just as hot as I. by any possibility.
can handle the fannels in it. If it
is nearly boiling, so much the better.
put the fannels in the tub, pour on
the suds, cover them up and let them
stand for fifteen minutes, then take
them up by belts or collars as gingerly
as possible with my very fnger-tips,
let the water drain from them, dip
them again and repeat the draining
process.
'1f there are any particularly dirty
spots, have soap dissolved in water
to pasty consistency and put bit
of it on the spots and leave them few
minutes longer. 1 do not rub the
soap in, neither do rub the fiannels.
I simply rinse them up and down in
the water, ard this not more than is
necessary to clean them. When L
think they will do, I lay them where
they will drain until the water is
nearly out, then prepare fresh hot
suds and put them through in the same
way. Under no circumstances would
l wiring them or press them any more
than is absolutely necessary. They
are hung out dripping, and, if it is
cold weather, they may freeze all they
choose. 1 have had my fine French
fannels brought in SO stiff that they
would stand up against the wall, and
I have some of them now that are
worn to rags that are as soft and pill
able as the day they were made up.
Before the garments are fully dry
they may be ironed. Never use partly
cool irons and rub them again and
again, for this is worse than the wiring
ing and squeezing process, but take
an iron as hot as may be without any
danger of scorching, and manage SO
carefully that once passing over the
fabric will smooth it. In this way
fannels will last to good old age and
preserve their original quality intact.

The Pepsin Habit.

A New York physician of prom1-
nence remarked the other day to q
newspaper man that he was not sur
prised to find that the pepsin habit is
raging just as furious to-day as the
quinine habit did not long ago, as it
seems to be human nature for people
to make continual experiments on
themselves with medicine, with blind
faith that popular panacea will cure
all the ills that flesh is heir to. Said
he: 81 have noticed that in all the
penny-in-the-slotm machines devoted to
confections the pepsin-gum boxes are
nearly always empty. l am told that
it is necessary to refill them several
times day. Boys hawk it every
wherein the streets, at the races, at
baseball games. 1t cannot do very
much harm to dyspeptic, but it GER
tainly does him no good. The amount
of pure pepsin in package of this
gum is infinitesimal. New Orleans
