The Ways of the Milkmau.

Dairymen who are in the habit Of
diluting their milk with water have
found out nm 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 a 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 IN. DIR. Wynter
Blythe instances recent case of q
dealer who sold milk diluted with at
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
Dr. Blythe is certain, as 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 court of
Justice. News.

FEEDING THE COWS,

There is q great deal being said and
written nowadays about standard ra-
tions for COWS, and much science is
brought into requisition to make those
rations correctly balanced to fit the
physical requirements of the COWS.
Every young farmer who hopes to be-
come successful in dairying should
study such tables and become accus-
toned to the technical terms, SO that
he will know just what they mean
wherever he sees them. Having done
this, he should learn the cost of diff
ferent cattle foods delivered on his
farm, whether raised or purchased.
Knowing this, he should then make
his own standard ration, and when
ever he cannot get the materials for
making that standard without paying
too much, he must look for substi.
tutes in kind and quality.
Tho ration, as estimated, is most
conveniently the food for twenty-foul
hous for COW weighing between eight
hundred and one thousand pounds.
This much can be done with books,
aud is very useful part of the lesson,

comes from the actual feeding of th,

DO NOT DROWN THE PLANTS.

Even in dry weather stagnant water
is injurious to plants, in part because
1t browns them by shutting off the
air, just as it does with human beings
The fine fibres of the root system and
the still finer cells called root hairs,
are both the lungs and stomach of the
plants. They take plant food from the
soil, and oxygen from the air which
permeates the soil. The leaves are in
one sense also lungs, as they take car
bonic acid from the air; but it is the
roots which take oxygen as do human
lungs. If the soil is loose and partially
dry, these root lungs can breathe and
do their work but when the soil is
kept well soaked and the mir is thus
kept out, the underground plant or
gans fail to work, and soon decay
Soil which has loose well-drained
surface encourages root extension, and,
at the same time, admits plenty of air
for them to feed upon. Soil which is
too cold and moist is likewise unfavor-
able to the action of the living mi
crobes, which change over the chem
ical elements in the soil, and adapt
these elements to the use of the
plants. Massachusetts Ploughman.

Passing of the Compass.

The compass may yet disappear from
the sea, says the Philadelphia Record.
The little needle, by the aid of which
intrepid mariners have for centuries
charted the vast ocean developed O
sudden fickleness to the pole as soon
as the compass was placed aboard the
iron and steel ships of this age. So
erratic have been the needles devia-
tious that, without frequent compari-
son with some known standard, the
helmsman would have been afraid to
trust the instrument as nautical
guide over the trackless waters. For
the first time in the history of naviga-
tion an appliance has been invented
which seems to be absolutely accurate
and trustworthy in the determination
of the course of ships at sea. Lieu.
tenant w. Fl. Beecher, of the United
States navy, appears to have achieved
this triumph in his, delicate and beau
tiful solarometer, the telescope OF

layers of quicksilver, in a vessel hung
upon gimbals, that the heaviest sen

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 a day per COW. The best
dairymen claim to make butter worth
fifty cents pound on ration not ex-
ceeding thirteen cents day. But it
will be seen that when the ration costs
twenty cents, the COW must give ut
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
as little guessing about them as pos
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 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 salts
fed 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
I
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 different nature from the other,
and the only way to make money with
them is to get thorough knowledge
of each one and then treat each in
such 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.

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, 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 n reed or sitting q
monument of patience with his hands
in his sleeves, was the father of the
tea-plant. After years of sloepless
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 taat he cut off the
offending eyelids and threw them on
the ground, where they instantly took
root and sprouted into the shrub
which has ever since had power to
keep the world awake. Harper

HOW TO EXAMINE HORSES HooFs.

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 1t
through the center frog cleft, then, if
"thrush" exists, the "nose" 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
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 ''its the foot" it will keep it
in it's proper place till worn out. =

Food by Chemistry.

Geves 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 So artistically as
to appeal to the sense of beauty as
well rs 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 well s.s-
sured to those who have observed what
synthetic chemistry has already done
in exactly reproducing mustard, sugar,

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 possi-
bic that there is more than n 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 a 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-
ficient amount of flavoring material
left in the butter after two washings,
and as a 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 a
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 possi-
bic ten per cent. of moisture would be
the correct "form. practical Far

Plant food can nowhere be so

Hens are in the best condition to

Now is the time to be giving special

next fall. Keep them healthy and fat,
and if they are given little grain

Corn grown for forage or ensilage
should be planted sufficient distance to
allow a 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

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
WASHING FIANNELs.

"All shrunk-up and absolutely good

family rs she looked over the stock OF
summer fannels bought with tho ut.
most care and at great expense. "And
the worst of it oil is that, say what ]
will, j cannot get my fannels washed
carefully. One of my laundresses is an
enthusiast on cold water; another has
always regulated her work by the

it makes no difference whether the

anyhow, and I do not think that there
is any wonder that they do, consider
ing the'way they handle them.
'These women, good, careful souls,

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

the consequences are that they do not

as possible with my very finger-tips,
let the water drain from them, dip
them again and repeat the draining

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 a good old age and
preserve their original quality intact. !"
