CARE OF MILK.

CARE OF MILK.
Give your COWS access at all times to
pure water. The Importance of the
latter is plain when we stop to consider
that above 81 per cent. of the milk
consists of water, which naturally i'm
parts to the former any flavors or inn
purities it may possess. Aeration will
undoubtedly improve the quality of
such milk, but il will not do to trust
too much to it.
The milk should be strained as soon
as possible after it is dra wn and aerated
until the animal Odor escapes. 1t may
then be set away to cool and should
not be disturbed again until ready for
skimming. The cooling of the milk
sets currents in the milk in motion
which bring the cream to the surface.
Any interference with these currents
checks the rising and lessons the amount
Of cream. Even the slamming of a
door is disturbance. The quicker
milk is "set" after milking and the
quieter it is kept the more cream you
will have.
Another important point to be con-
sidered in raising cream is that while
the milk is warmer than the surround
ing atmosphere it is constantly giving
off its odors, but as soon as it becomes
cooler the conditions are reversed and
it begins to absorb odors, hence the i'm
portance of setting it in pure atmos-
phere untainted by the presence of
meat, veget; bles, spices, &c. All these
points must be seen to if the largest
amount of the best quality butter is to
be made from the milk.

FATTENING FOWLS.

Fowls fatten mnre rapidly in close
confinement kept by themselves i'm coops
or pens and so darkened that they can
not see anything which might attract
their attention and cause them to worry
and excite themselves. Fattening
should not be attempted until the birds
have attained their full growth; in
fact, it is impossible to do this before
hand, although all properly digested
food is never lost.
1t is not well to fatten fowls on corn
alone, as they would be pretty certain
to suffer from indigestion. While this
grain should form the principal food.
they should be supplied with variety
of anything they will eat, clover and
all kinds of green food being particu-
larly desirable. The more the appetite
is tempted the more quickly the fat
tening process will 60 on. For fatten-
ing, the pullets are the best taken be-
fore they begin to lay and the cockerels
Just as their tails begin to turn.

The Soil For Lettuce,

The soil on which lettuce is grown
near Boston produces plants so much
larger and more perfect than are grown
in many other parts of the country that
Investigations were undertaken to ascer-
tain if possible the reason of this differ
ence. The conclusions arrived at and re-
ported by Professor Galloway are that
the physical properties Of the soil are of
the utmost Importance in relation to
plant growth, and that lettuce requires
a soil possessing an abundance of fine
gravel, sand and silt in such mechan-
ical mixture as to provide sufficient
moisture, heat and air-a condition ex-
isting in the Boston soil.

Seed Wheat.

We know now for certainty that
great deal Of the wheat rust is brought
on our farms through the seed, and the
spores Of the rust are held over from
year to year in the seed. Seed that is
taken from the field where the rust has
been prevalent should always be subject
to the hot water test. The seed we pur-
chase from seedsmen should also be
treated in this way, for we know not
how many rust spores may be in the
seed to begin growing when the favor
able conditions are given. The hot wa
ter test is the only sure way of killing
rust. If done properly, there is no dam
ger OF injuring the vitality Of the seeds,
while all the spores Of disease will be
thoroughly destroyed, writes an Ameri-
can Cultivator correspondent.

Time of Seeding Crimson Glover.

In experiments in New Jersey, accord
ing to the station record, it was found
that where the soil was not reasonably
good twas necessary, in order to secure
good stand, to delay sowing until Sep.
tember. On poor soils excellent crops
were secured when the seed was sown
even as late as October. For good lands
the author recommends that seed be
sown between July 10 and Sept. 15. It
was found that in New Jersey spring
seeding either alone or with cats gave
disappointing results.

growers ought to set their yards in order
by gathering the loose vines and burn
ing them on some adjoining plowed field.
II burned in the yards, there is danger
OF injuring the roots by the heat. The
poles should also be stored for next
years use.

the occupation
OF barbering, so when the BARRIERS held
a mass meeting she presented herself
in behalf of the hundred or more
women who are to be found in Chicago
shops. She represented that women
are forging to the front in the business.
"There is reason for this" she said.
women BARRIERS do not drink nor
carouse, consequently their nerves are
always steady and their touch is light.
They do not chew tobacco nor smoke
cigars and always treat their customers

that women can hold their own any,

herself.

tary to Lady Henry Somerset, is not
