GUERNSEY COW PURITY.

oped. Guernsey enthusiasts would not
of course admit that their pets have any
defects at all, but they can at least learn
what defects other people think the COWS
have. The stockman and dairyman de-
clares that Guernsey COWS lack vitality.
Next, they have defective udders, one
sided, with crooked teats or teats toe
small and difficult to get the milk out OF.
The udder is sometimes not large enough.
Finally, they do not give as much milk
as they ought to. considering how large
they are. But, on the other hand, Guern-
sew enthusiasts declare that they make
excellent, sizeable beeves. Perhaps that
is the reason they do not give such
quantity of milk.
At any rate, whatever the defects
in the Guernsey breed, these defects
can every one be bred out of them
as the defects of the Jersey breed have
been. 1t has been suggested that an ad'
mixture of Ayrshire blood would bt
beneficial. Even 10 years would dc
much in that direction, when under
taken with intelligence and zeal. Here
is an admirable field for the enterprise
of some rich man who would help Amer
lean farmers and dairymen and win en-
viable fame for himself, as ex-Vice Pres
ident Morton is doing. At any rate
again, whatever the defects of the Guern
seys, they do not seem to be shared by
the COW Purity, shown in the illustra
ton. Purity was one of the premium
best five COWS at the Worlds fair and il
a New York Guernsey.

Like every other sense, that Of sight
improves by use under healthy condi-
tions, and therefore the people who have
the greatest exercise of their vision in
the open air under the light Of the sun
have the best eyesight. Generally speak
ing, savage tribes possess the keenest eye
sight, acquired through hunting. Natives
of the Solomon islands are very quick at
perceiving distant objects, such as ships
at sea, and will pick out birds concealed
in dense foliage some go or 20 feet high.
Shepherds and sailors are blessed with
good sight.
Eskimos will detect white fox in the
snow a great distance away, while the
Arabs Of the deserts of Arabia have such
extreme powers of vision that on the
vast plains of the desert they will pick
out objects invisible to the ordinary eye,
at ranges from one to ten miles distant.
Among civilized peoples the Norwegians
have better eyesight than most if not all
others, as they more generally fulfill the
necessary conditions. The reason why
defective eyes are so much on the in
crease in this country, and in Europe
lies in too much study of books in early
life and in badly lighted rooms.-Brook-

Hard Deposit. In steam Boilers.

A very simple method of preventing
hard deposits IN steam boilers is men
toned by NJ. Schmidt, French en-
gineer. There are two boilers in use at
the same time, one being at rest, and
the water in use is very bad, being very
calcareous and magnesic, with organic
matter, chlorides and a little sulphate of
of lime. Each boiler is allowed to go on
working for about 500 hours before
being cleaned, when it is stopped,
with the water in it, and allowed to cool
down for about week. The masonry
is allowed to become cold, and then the
tap is opened, also the safety valve, SO
that the water runs naturally out of the
boiler, the latter, when empty, being en-
tered and simply swept. The deposit,
being in the form of damp mud, Is easily
swept away, leaving the boiler as clean
inside as if it were new.
This method has been in use some five
years and seems to show that the ordi-
nary hardening of deposits in boilers is
due to the absence Of water in them
while the mud and the iron are being
heated by the brickwork when the boiler
has been emptied by the ordinary meth
cd under pressure. 1t is necessary, how
ever, under this system, to be able to do
without the particular boiler for some
eight days.-New York Sun.

Several of the presidents have remained
in active politics after retirement from
the White House. Buchanan was elected
president at SO and retired at the age OF
10. Tyler was a member of the provi.
sional confederate congress at the age OF
II. John Adams, at So years of age, was
a delegate to the convention for revising
the constitution of Massachusetts. John
Quincy Adams was elected to congress
by the anti-Mason party when he was ga,
and he remained in congress for period
of II years. He died in the hall of the
house. James Monroe retired from the
presidency at 81, was regent of the
University of Virginia with Madison and
jefferson at SO, but declined to serve as
an elector from Virginia at 70 on the
ground that an ex-president should net
be a partisan, but afterward acted as a
local magistrate and was a member OF
the constitutional convention Of Vir-
ginia. Andrew jackson was 20 when he
left the White House.-W ashington Star.

Goes In For sterilizing.

Mr.. G. B. Lawson of Grinnell based
his arguments in favor of sterilizing milk
and cream upon the two facts that sour
ing of milk is due to bacteria, and that
heat will kill the bacteria. As to the
method, he said 1t should be heated in
open pans and constantly stirred so 1t
will not have cooked taste. He thinks
milk would be much improved by run
ming it through a separator without
dreaming it, the object being to purge
out impurities. He showed method by
which crearnerymen can run private
milkmen out of the business, or rather
absorb their business as they do that of
the home churner. 1t is by sterilizing
milk and shipping it to the city market.
The COWS can be MIXED in the morn
ing, the milk taken to the creamery and
sterilized before noon and shipped next
/ morning. This would take that trade
out of the hands of private dairymen,
the creamery doing the work by whole
sale.
In sterilizing cream equally marked
advantages are gained. One quart OF
sterilized cream is worth two quarts OF
unsterilized cream for the manufacture
ers of ice cream. Ice cream makers say
that it ''swells" in making up. Cream
is better for this purpose when "a hours
old than when fresh, and he has kept it
from Tuesday until Friday and found it
in prime condition.
Butter made from sterilized cream has
brought him cent pound above the
highest quotations. He sent some to the
Worlds fair and it scored as follows;
Flavor, AZ; grain, %; color, 10; sailing,
10; package, 5; total, 97-being three
points off in flavor, otherwise perfect.
This is convincing proof that sterilizing
does not hurt the grain nor destroy the
flavor, for it was still marked high.
Mr.. Lawson's paper called attention to
the fact that a starter must always be
added to sterilized cream to ripen it, as
the bacteria have been destroyed by the
heat. He is satisfied that thousands of
dollars would be added to the value of
Iowa butter by sterilizing cream

gives the benefit of his observations and
experience to others through the col
umns of The Farm Journal. He says:
In most instances have been pleased
10 note growing demand for conven-
Eences and space that will house larger
proportion of stock or crops tothesquare
yard of roof surface than has been done
by the shelters raised by our forefathers.
The determination Is also manifest to
protect the manure heaps as well as
stock and implements. After giving
much thought to the subject l have
drawn a plan of some features which the
modern model should contain, with
greater or less notifications. 1t does
not embrace everything, and yet for
dairying and stock feeding its main
features are invaluable, as it saves time
and labor without being more expensive
than if it were built after the old time
plans.
Nothing is said in relation as to how
the stables are to be divided. This is a
subject which each man must decide for
himself, according to the stock, crops
and local conditions. 1t will be found
usually most satisfactory to keep the
horses and COW or sheep stalls in long
rows on the first floor, and clear the sta
bles after the stock has been turned out
by opening trapdoors into the pit below.
A very successful farmer whom visited
in Duchess county, N. Y, has the ma
nure hauled out and spread every day in
the year, excepting when overdriven
during harvest. During this time the
manure is left in the pit and got out for
top dressing mowings directly after the
rush. Where the splendid economy of
daily drawing is practicable it is posi-
BILE to construct chutes or troughs just
beneath the trapdoors which will hold
from one to ten loads, according to the
amount of stock kept, and which can be
made to discharge their contents into a
wagon after it has backed under them.
A successful way of making such
trough is to use two inch plank to cover
a frame made V shape out of two by four
inch scantling, one side of the V to be
hinged at the top and closely held against
It's mate at the bottom by heavy bolt
at either end which may be withdrawn
at the same instant by the use of lever.
These troughs should extend to within
few inches of the top of the wagon box,
80 that their contents will not need to
plunge too heavily into the carts or
wagons.

barn, because the natural law is taken
advantage of in handling all fodder, in
