MUsrY HAY.

What effect would bad musty hay have on the milk by feeding equal weights of cob meal and bran?-[B. D, Clayton, N. J. There appears to be wide difference of opinion as to the influence of the food on the flavor of milk and butter. The old and more common view is that when an animal eats turnips, onions. bad ensilage or poorly cured hay, the odors or fiavors of these materials are imparted to the milk. Lately, the opinion prevails to some extent that the so-called s'animal odorn is communicated to the milk from the foul smells of the tie-up at the time it is drawn, and in similar way, the flavor of turnips. is absorbed from the air of the stable where the food hes been handled. According to this view. if milk could be drawn so as not to come into contact with the air of the stable, no

WANTS.


 Better schools. Better farming. More equal taxes. More money and less misery. Money for the millions, as well as for the millionaires. More of the "Golden Rule" and not so much of the rule of gold. We want them all for the benefit o1 agriculture and of our whole country. If we cannot get them all at once, lei us get what we can, as soon as we can. Any of the nine wants which we can get will help us geJ all the rest. More equal taxes will relieve the farm of unfair burdens, and leave more of it's income for better farming. All citizens paying their equal shares of taxes, will easier pay for good roads. With good roads we can have free delivery of rural mails and better schools. More money and the ssGolden Rule'will give better times, better prices for farm products, better wages to the toiler. and more individual happiness, which depends upon general prosperity.
 When we get the good roads it will be easier to carry the mails out through the rural districts. Then we can have fewer schools. The same persons who carry the mail can convey the children to the good graded and high schools, and the expense will be DO greater than now in keeping up number of small schools, paying many teachers small wages, repairs of bui dings, fuel, etc.
 We are getting the good roads in New Jersey. The State pays one-third, the county one third and the property along the road one-third. And we have the law for better schools, end carrying the children to and from the school.
 It is good to be thinking and talking over these wants. s'Be sure you are right then go aheadn on the good road to better education, better farming, bet ter times, and real prosperity and hap piness. Mortimer Whitehead in Farm Journal.

animal odors or food f1avors would be noticed. It is entirely probable that the odors from impure air are often taken up by milk and afterwards credited to the food, but we are not prepared to declare that fiavors are imparted in no other way. We are inclined to think, however, that the accidental f1avors of milk are largely due to influences extraneous to the COW, unless she is diseased. It is wise, of course, to avoid such hay as that deserib. ed, but if this were on hand and circum- stances seemed to require it's use, we would not despair ot making a good quality of butter. This hay can be made palatable by moistening it, and then scat teripg all or portion of the grain on it, and then if pains are taken to keep the cows clean, the stable sweet, and the milk out of contact with odors of any kind, even an expert night fail to find the musty hay in the butter.-[Country Gentleman.

MIR DICKINSON's NEW HOUSE

The frame to the new house which Lee o. Dickinson is building on the site where his house stood which was recent ly burned, is up and nearly sided. The work on the house is being pushed along as fast as possible and MT Dickinson hopes to have it ready for occupancy by July l.

THE CONNECTICUT TUBERCULOSIS BILL.

The hearing on the tuberculosis bill
 was brought to close Wednesday last,
 much to the relief of the agricultural
 committee. This hearing has been a long and at times tedious one, but
 whatever may be said of it, whatever
 the committee may do with the bill,
 farmers and the public generally have
 been greatly.enlightened upon the all im-
 portant subject; their eyes have
 been opened to the dangers that threaten
 the iDjudicious breeder and feeder of
 dairy cattle. Hereafter more attention
 will be given to the proper sanitary con-
 dition of stables, and more or less out door exercise will probably be thought advisable, even if the barn temperature
 does go below 50, or the cows drop off a
 little in the milk yield.
 During the agitation of this question
 in this state, ,an intelligent observer cannot help being struck with the false ideas put forward by those who ought to know
 better. Prejudice, too, has marked the
 statements of many witnesses. All will admit the great good this hearing has accomplished, and I for one regret that the lawyers employed by the breed CTS and dairymen should have been so persistent in obstructing the progress of the hearing. The one potent factor in the intense opposition shown by the farmers generally is the belief that the I.;1 lr for ho h.. ment of few veterinarians and medical men. If the public statements of the leading proponents of this bill are worth anything, they show true motive on their part for pushing forward the bill, and that it's framers have acted upon 8 conscientious belief in the dangers threatening both human and animal life from this disease.
 Your correspondent from this state, s. B. Reach, very clearly defined the position of the advocates of the bill, and believe that if he or any other in- telligent person will take the time to hunt up evidence for and against these points, he will find a preponderence of evidence in the affirmative. Who will TUT d uOLkEub uOuUb GuG c4dCb 8HalOXY of human and bovine consumption; that the latter is on the increase and that 1t is contagious that the milk and meat of diseased animal may be and often are by this disease; that the sale and use of such is dangerous to the public health; that the prosperity of the dairy interest is imperiled by existing con- ditions, which affect all owners of COWS and consumers of dairy products s believe that the weight of evidence as given by the careful experimenters l shows Koch's tuberculin when properly and properly used under proper conditions to be next to infallible | in the detection of tuberculosis, but 1 also believe that conditions are not yet | ready for its compulsory use.

GOOD STOCK PAYS.

Capt Jack. the famous Hereford bull which N. F. Beardsley owned and with which he took so many prizes at the fairs in this section, nearly always carrying off first honors when he appeared, was recently sold to John Ferris of Stamford. MT Ferris in turn sold him to New York exporters and Capt Jack went abroad, where he probably has long before this met his fate and the crowned heads of Europe have been feasting on his juicy steaks. Mir Beardsley has gained an enviabie reputation for keeping good stock and his steers are sought after both for their breeding and the thor ough manner in which they are broken He has sold number of fine pairs of steers, this spring.

Kidney trouble may exist and not be indicated by the state of the urine, which remains clear. Consti- patton generally exists and the Back ache may extend down the thigh. The diseased Kidney becomes infamed and the waste matter which is re- tained promotes the growth of stones and gravel.

Putting Down Old Fashions.

The hennins or head dresses worn by
the ladies of the fifteenth century we're
In the snaps of horns, and so long that a
woman's face appeared to be the center
OF her figure. The clergy condemned
them and threatened the wearers with
perdition, but for all that they were
worn higher than ever. At last a stroll
ing friar or evangelist at Paris promised
absolution to all who would DESTROY the
hennins, and the mob went to work and
wrecked the headdresses whenever
they appeared in public. The heunins
were trampled under foot and the
wearers insulted all over Paris. Scores
OF lives were lost in the efforts of the
cavaliers to defend the hennins from
the rabble, but in vain, and the enor-
nous headdresses disappeared, some
other feminine absurdity taking their
place. In 1862 English ladies' and gem
tlemen wore the points of their shoes a
yard long and fastened the garter with
with golden chains ornamented with
bells. The custom was prohibited I'M
der pain of being cursed by the clergy,
but, as it showed no signs of abating, a
line of twenty shilings was assessed
for every public appearance in such
shoes, and the long tips vanished.-St.

Digging for Smelt.

A Boston sportsman who once made
trip down the Maine shore, speaking Of
his experiences, said;
II found myself at Ogunquit quiet
little place about 80 miles this side of
Portland. 1t was a dirty, misty day, and
as there was nothing going on at the no.
tel l slipped into macintosh and
strolled down to the beach, where the surf
was pounding in with terrific din. The
tide was at lowest ebb, and so had quite
a long walk to reach the waters edge.
For awhile | watched the breakers rolling
over each other and then l started for u
little walk along the sand but a few feet
from the water
presently | was surprised on looking
around to find n number of very small and
almost transparent fish, which | took to
be young smelt, writing about in tho wa
ter and near the tracks | had left in the
soft sand. At first l thought they had been
washed up by the surf, but in a moment
noticed that this could not have been pos
siblo, for the water had not reached so high
mark on the beach.
81 was much puzzled by the phenome-
non, and possible solution of the mystery
was not suggested to me until one of tho
little smelt which | had picked up and
nelu III my manu- urOppeu 10 tne ground
and disappeared as if he had melted
More curious still, began searching for
him, but he was nowhere in sight Then
l began proddiDg the sand with my stick,
and the next thing ! knew had literally
unearthed my little fish, or one exactly
like him. BY digging in the sand had
turned up in walking discovered anoth-
er. 1t seemed they had actually been bur.
led, and To prove it made little hole
with my finger at n smooth and undis-
turbed spot and thrust the head of one of

squirm no disappeared. / dug him up
fully two inches away.
"Still l was not quite satisfied, so l
went to spot rod or more away, and
there l turned up moro of the little smelt.
The sand was very SOFT and by digging
down three or four inches 1 found 1t SO
wet as to be but little more solid than
some thick liquid, On the whole, though,

covery, as l had never heard of such a
thing before, and spent an hour or moro
