SOURCE OF THE BUTTER FLAVOR.

SOURCE OF THE BUTTER FLAVOR.
The butter aroma appears in the
butter as the result of the ripening
process. Sweet-cream butter does not
have this delicate flavor, and while
there is demand, in our markets,
perhaps a growing demand, for a
sweet-cream butter, it never develops
the delicate flavor known as the but
ter aroma. During ripening certain
changes take place in the cream, some
of which we understand and others
which are at present beyond the
reach of chemical knowledge. The
composition of cream is essentially the
same as that of milk except in the
higher proportion of fat. 1t is made
up chiefly of butter fat in the form of
globules, of casein in partial sus-
pension in the liquid, of milk sugar in
solution, and of small amount of al
bumen, probably partly in solution
and partly in the form of an extreme
ly delicate network of fibers which we
call fbrin. Cream always contains
large number of bacteria, yeasts and
molds, which are the active agents in
ripening. The sources of these micro
organisms are varied. They are not
present in the milk when secreted by
the COW, but find their way into it
in variety of ways. Some come from
the air; some from the hairs of the
COW; some from the dust of the barn /;
some from the hands of the. mixer /;
some from the milk vessels, and others
from other sources of contamination.
The chances of contamination are suf-
fcient to stock the milk with an
abundance of these organisms under
all circumstances. By the time the
cream has reached the creamery il
contains a quantity of organisms
varying widely with temperature ano
other conditions, and it is to these that
the subsequent ripening is due.
During the period of ripening, the
organisms are growing producing
profound changes in the cream. Bac-
terra are primarily destructive agents.
During their growth they are pulling
to pieces some of the chemical COM
pounds of the cream and reducing
them to condition of greater sim
plicity, giving rise in this way to
great number of so-called decomposi-
tion products. Chemistry has not yet
explained all of these changes. A few
of them we partially understand. We
know that some of the organisms act
upon milk sugar, converting it
into Tactic acid, with the production
of carbonic acid gas as by-product.
We know, also, that sometimes butyric
acid is produced, and that sometimes
ferments, similar to rennet aud tryp-
sin, make their appearance in ripen-
ing cream. Alcohol is also a common
product, so much so that the butter
flavor has sometimes been attributed
to this product alone. .-Storrs Agri-

SEED WHEAT.

Heavy weight seed wheat contains a
larger quantity of more valuable food
materials for the young plant in the
form of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash than light weight wheat of the
same variety. Experiments Mt the
Minnesota station by II. Snyder show
that this additional reserve food is
supplied to the young plants and pro-
duces q more vigorous growth. The
additional fertilizer material in a
bushel of heavy weight wheat is worth
from three to five cents more per
bushel at the market prices of COM
mercial fertilizers. Hellriegel in Ger
many has also proved that the. heavier
the seed the more vigorous is the
young plant, and where there was not
an over-abundance of plant food in the
soil the difference in vigor of the
plants are seen even up to the time of
harvest. The Minnesota experiments
prove that the same characteristic
differences that are noted between
heavy and light weight seed wheat
are observed between healthy and Wig
orous, and poor and sickly wheat
plants, both in growth and yield. The
wheat plant takes up over three
fourths of its food from the soil be-
fore heading out. The soil should be
cultivated and managed in such way
so as to supply the growing wheat
crop with at least three-fourths of its
mineral food, and seven-eighths of its
nitrogen compound before it blooms,
which occurs in June or early in July,
according to the latitude. American

Carving Secret Arms.

In Mysore and Hyderabad the
bich'hwa (scorpion)-the double
curved misericorde of the East-is
carried by the lower classes hidden up
the sleeve, and is made right or left

Of the blade, derived from that of a
cows horn, and resembling that of
scorpions sting, recurs in the khanjar
and the chilanum and throughout
Afghanistan. With variety of this
weapon Lieutenant Willis was killed
in the bazaar at Candahar.
The strangest of secret arms is, per-
haps, the bagh nakh or tiger claw of
the Mahrattas, with it's two rings for
the first and fourth fingers and the
three to five curved steel claws,
destined to protrude from the closed
hand between the fingers and to rip
open or mangle the victim. The hand
half open shows only two bright rings
round the fingers; the clenched fist
becomes the armed paw of the human
tiger. Mr.. Egerton tells us how the
Mahratta leader Sivaji murdered his
enemy, Afzai Khan, after inviting him
to a conference, in which each should
come with one attendant only. Sivaji
wore mail cap and coat under his
turban and cotton gown, had n
bich'hwa in his right sleeve and bagh
nakh on his left hand. The Khan had
only his sword, and sent away his fol-
lower to reassure Sivaji, who was of
small stature and counterfeited tim
idity. SIN the midst of the customary
embrace, Sivaji struck the bagh nakh
into the bowels of Afzai Khan, who
quickly disengaged himself, clapped
his hand on his sword, exclaiming
"Treachery and murder!" but Sivaii
instantly followed up the blow with
his dagger. The Khan had drawn his
sword, and made n cut at Sivaji, but
the concealed armor was proof against
the blow. The whole was the work
of moment, and Sivaii was wrestling
the weapon from the hand of his vic
tim before the attendants could run
toward them. "-London Saturday Re-

QUALITY OF EGGS.

There is great difference in the
original quality of eggs, and this has
much to do with their capacity for
keeping well. Generally, the best
favored eggs are laid early in the sea-
son. Then the diet is mostly grain.
After the fowls begin to find young
grass growing, they will pick ut and
eat it, and of course consume less
grain. In summer much of the food
is grass and insects. These are not
good producing foods, and though
a large number of eggs may be laid,
their quality will not be as good as it
is early in in the season. 1t is not the
difference caused by deterioration on
account of weather, for an egg cooked
the same day it is laid in July is gen.
orally not SO good as one that is
cooked fresh in March or April. Hence
there is good reason why eggs should
be dearer in early spring. They are
better then, and for their price fur
nish cheaper and better food than
the same money invested in meats
The fact may also explain one reason
why lined eggs are 80 generally unsat
isfactory. They are always the cheap
and poor quality summer eggs. They
are inferior when put up, and cannot
be expected to improve by keeping
five or six months, even when air is ex-
cluded Boston Cultivator.

TRAINING A HORSE.

In training u horse for the saddle,
says the New York World, the animal
is made obedient and gentle, and his
good qualities best developed, by pa-
tience, kindness and encouragement,
and, above all, fearlessness punish
ment should be resorted to only when
absolutely necessary. No punishment
should be administered to horse in
anger.
Under harsh treatment he will first
become timid, then sullen, and at
length violent and unmanageable.
As one horse is apt to be governed
by the actions of another, well-trained
horses that are indifferent To sights
and sounds should bo interspersed
among the new ones until they are al

pets, beating of drums. tinkling OF

SENSIBLE TOILET COVERS,

If a room needs new toilet covers
after the spring house cleaning, make
them from white cotton point d'esprit
laid over color, and edge each piece
with frill of the same, run with baby
ribbons. A set seen recently was of
white over pale orange. Cut piece of
white muslin or cheesecloth the size
of the top of the dresser, and other
places for which you want the covers,
lay over them thin layer of cotton
sprinkled with violet powder, then
tack on covering of colored sateen.
Cut the piece of lace considerably
larger than the Innings, and catch the
extra fulness here and there to the
lining, SO that, when finished, the lace
will lay up lightly and have slightly
crumpled look. Make q wide frill of
the lace, turn in wide hem, and over
the hem and just above it sew on the
baby ribbon. Set on the frill with q
heading. Make cover for your pin
cushion, if you use one, in the same
way, but without any lining. New
York Post.

ago special train, carrying arma-
ment and supplies, was dispatched
from Halifax to Esquimault. British

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A NEW FLOOR COVERING.

Among the fresher novelties for the
housekeeper is the reversible rubber
rug or carpet. The fabric consists of
o thin sheet of perforated rubber cloth,
similar to that used in the manufac-
ture of boots. The yarn is forced
through the little holes. 1t is then
automatically spread on both sides of
the rubber sheeting, and the rug is
manufactured. The strong features
of the product are it's durability and
it's reversibIlity; also its low cost of
manufacture. In appearance it looks
exactly like a moquette or other pile
fabric, and only an examination would
reveal the difference In structure.
Jute, as filling, being done away
with, the only expense is for yarn and
rubber. Carpet Trade.

CHEMISTRY OF THE BAKED POTATO.

Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by the physician for the sick person
who is beginning to use solids is baked
potato. A baked potato, however, may
be no better than boiled one unless
it be done in so high temperature
that the starch is affected. Boiled
potatoes can not be subjected to
higher temperature than 212 degrees
Fahrenheit. Baked potatoes may be
done IN such a way that they are but
little better than boiled-for in
stance, done in a slow oven. On the
other hand if they are put into tenn
perature of $50 to 400 degrees Fahren-
heit, or what is called ''hot oven,"
they will be done in such a manner
that the conversion of starch will in q
degree take place and the potato be
consequently palatable and easily di-
gested. Potatoes roasted in hot ashes
or embers are delicious and for the
same reason. The high degree of heat
cooks the starch properly. New York

then apply some strong liniment, Civ
ing thirty drops of tincture of aconite
three times a day in some acceptable

work, but moderate exercise will be
useful. 1t should be kept warm and
