BAD SMELLING MILK.


COwy" Odor.
BY preventing the milk from coming
in contact with the air, by milking
through rubber tubes into clean, air
tight cans, we are enabled to examine
the milk in nearly tho same condition i'll
which it exists in the udder.
We have allowed these cans of milk
thus preserved from The faint of the
outer air to stand for varying periods of
time and have noted that while the
characteristic odor and flavor of the
milk is present and distinctly recogniz-
ed on opening the can still there is no
Objectionable odor there, no "cowy"
smell other than faint suggestion of
the breath of the COW at pasture. The
keeping qualities of the milk thus treat
ed are equally good, if not better
than the remainder of the milk of the
same more thoroughly aerated.
The experiments along this limo are
now in progress, and the results cannot
be fully reported From present indica-
tions, however, it seems safe to say that
if the milk could be MIXED into deep
can, in which the cream is to be raised
without contact with the air of the sta
BILE or dairy house, no aeration of any
kind would be needed.
1t is an old notion among dairymen
that there are in freshly drawn milk GER
tain gases and certain odors that need to
be driven out before it is safe to cover the
milk tightly in milk raising can. Ac-
tn mn IN n thn
presence of such gases are wanting.
When the milk has been shut up in
tight cans, there is distinctly unpleas-
ant odor recognized ON the removal of
the cover. 1t ronai.s to be shown that
this odor is due to anything i'll the milk
when MIXED and not derived from the
air afterward.
Where these unpleasant odors exist it
is sure index that tho milk has be-
come contaminated by foul air either
in the stable or elsewhere Aeration
would remove to some extent the odors
taken up i'll the stable, and it should be
resorted to when milk thus contaminat-
ed is to be sold in the city or sent to the
factory.
The air of the stable or dairy room is
laden with micro organisms that cause
milk to sour or spoil and milk that is
to be sold should never be aerated in
close proximity to either of these places.
Otherwise the removal of the noxious
odors will be attended by the introduce
ton of hurtfnl bacteria Clinton ID.

appointment, therefore, was due to an
entire absence of rivalry, the young no.

eligible merely because he had given evil

HIS NOVEL THEORY OF TIDES.
Uncle AIvah Cunning Thinks the Ole

Uncle Alvah Dunnng, the hermit Of

earth is not round like ball, but as

edge to it to keep tho water from run

A number of guests at Charlie Ben
nett's "Antlers," on Raquette lake,
were discussing the theory with Uncle
Alyah one day during the hunting sea
son. Ono Of them undertook the alto
gether hopeless task Of convincing the
old man of tho error of his belief.
Among other things he called attention
to the tides
Uncle Alvah, he said, you've
heard of tides haven't you? How do
you account for them if the world ism t
round?'
The old man remained silent for
awhile and then drawled forth, "Waal,

what is it, them" asked tho ques-
toner, while all the sportsmen drew
near to await tho answer. Uncle Alvah

The bonds viii sell at a high premium, but
the net result viii not equal the face value Of
the bonds. And when the gold reserve is re-
plenished there is no way to maintain it, if
New York bankers choose to deplete the
treasury and force another issue of bonds.
Certain notes issued by the government are
redeemable in coin, and the treasury could be
protected by redeeming them in silver when
presented But as long as gold is solely used
for redemption purposes, just so long viii the
gold be taken out of the treasury and loans
forced. AT the next session of Congress some
remedial legislation toprotect the gold reserve

Great is Baltimore.
From the Baltimore American.

Prom tne BuitifIi0re American
Few cities in the United States have ever
had more phenomenal progress than has been
made by Baltimore during the last two or
three years, says letter in Bradstreets of
last week. This journal is the leading trade
paper of the country 1t is unusually con-
servative in its statements. What it saws of
Baltimore, however, is more than borne out
by the figures which follow. The total of
capital invested in manufactures is now over
$4,000, 600, employing 100000 hands and
paying $42, 900, 900 year in wages
A few comparisons show more clearly what
all this means. A table is given of the man
ufactnring statistics of the Southern States.
Baltimore alone exceeds any of them in all
respects. Georgia, the Empire State Of the
South, with its IS, AS square miles ofterritory,
its great population and its new growth, pro-
duces forty per cent. less manufacturing
product, and pays nearly fifty per cent. less
manufacturing wages than Baltimore, with
its thirty-four square miles and its 500, 600
population. According to the census of 1890,
to use the remarkable contrast of Bradstreet's,
''the factory hands Of Baltimore received in
that year So, 100000 LIore than the factory
hands Of Alabama and Georgia put together. 2
Baltimore paid more in factory wages than
Louisiana, North and South Carolina COM
bined, $S,000,000 more than Virginia and
West Virginia combined.
And that is not all. Baltimore employs in
the manufacturing interests almost as many
men, and pays almost as much wages-the
difference is only s., 200, 000-as the entire
state of Rhode Island, which is hive Of in
dustry. Baltimore had more capital invested
in manufactures and employed more men in
these interests than the entire state of New
Hampshire. Added to all this is the fact
that Baltimore has greater diversity of man
ufactures than any other city in the country,
and well may Bradstreets say It's growth in
the future promises to be even more re-
markable than during the last two or three
years. Great IS Baltimore and greater it
grows every day

What Dollar Bills Weigh.
Broom the New York HeraId.

Several customers were chatting in a La
fayette avenue grocery store one evening re-
Gently, when the grocer pointed to a half bar
rel of small beans, and asked how many of
them it would require to make bushel. Va
rious estimates were offered One man reck-
lessly put the number down at $4,000, which
occasioned laugh from all the others, who
had guessed a much lesser number, ranging
all the way from 5000 to 10000.
'sWell, gentleman, remarked the grocer,
you re all wrong. There are approximately
10000 beans in bushel.
No one was inclined TO believe him until he
showed them that it took 60 beans, selected at
random, to weigh half an ounce. The rest of
the calculation was simple.
Now, then, said one of the party, ''since
we are engaged in guessing contests, how
many dollar bills would it take to weigh as
much as silver dollar?''
One said 100, another said IS, while the
grocer, who knew all about beans, put the
figures at 300
IAN wrong, remarked the man. It takes
Just 2. - This was proved to be the case by
experiment.
