sion, rejected one--the best in the lot
observation-disclosures his eye, though not
absolutely bad, was such as TO arouse
suspicion; and the owner after ward
admitted TO me that the animal was
different from the rest in being little
'mean.n l mention these instances to
show that any person of average intel
ligence can learn, by taking pains, to
read the equine character. Horse.
dealers and trainers seldom make a
study of this matter, because they do
not care about it. WHAT you should
look for is a large, clear, luminous eye |;
what you should dstrust is small eye,
protruding eye, a sunken eye, an eye
that shows the white, glancing back
ward, which indicates bad temper; and
above all, CLASSY, tremulous eye,
which indicates stupidity. II is hard
to describe, but easily recog dzed.
There should be considerable space
between the eyes. The ears and car.
riage of them are hardly less significant
Well-cut ears that move continually
with general tendency to be pricked
forward indicate a good and lively dis
position. Large ears, if well shaped,
are better than very small or "mouse"
ears. Lop-ears, coarse ears, ears
planted either very far apart or very
close together, are to be viewed With
great distrust. Next in importance to
the head come the feet. They should
be of medium size, neither steep like a
mules, not fiat, but sloping at a me-
dunn angle. The best feet are Soup
shaped" that is, so formed that when
you pick them up they will hold water.
AS TO the other points of horse,
shall not attempt to go into details, be-
cause fear that they would convey in
forma ion only to those who do not
need it. But this may be said gener-
ally by way of advice Avoid long
backed or thin-waisted, still more a
long-legged, horse. Look for COM
pact, rather low standing beast, with a
good head, good eyes, and well shaped
ears, and you cannot go far wrong.-H.

Clipped and Condensed.

THE best horse for work is not al
ways the one that is the fastest when at
the cultivator. The slow and steady
animal is nearly always preferred in
cultivating.
THE frost will break up the clods and
Jumps better than will any implement.
No matter how wet the land may be
when plowed, if heavy frost comes
the soil will be pulverized.
THE pillow should be adapted to the
land. There are plows that are suit
able for hilsides, others for level land
and they are made to turn the furrow
narrow or wide. Much depends on the
texture of the soil in the selection of a
pillow.
WHEN pruning the old orchard, and
removing large limb, first saw a notch
on the under side of the limb; then saw
down from the upper side TO meet that
below. This will prevent splitting the
limb. Use gum shellac dissolved in al
cohol, or thin, light-colored paint to
coat the wounds.
INFERIOR goods can only be pro-
duced at cost of cheap labor. That
is, while it may be expensive in one
respect to grow inferior articles, yet the
farmer cheapens his own labor because
he is unable to secure the highest
prices for his products. The higher
the prices the greater the remuneration
for the labor bestowed.

Current Weekly Comment.

BEANs.-O wing to favorable advices from
shipping points, prices have advanced to
lOc per bushel.
CHEEsE.-There has been a little more
doing the past week, and the market has
steady and fairly firm tone.
EGGs.-There has been decline of &c per
dozen since our last report. AT the close
buyers are taking hold freely.
PoTAToEs.-T receipts have been large
since the advance in prices, and there has
been good deal OF inferior stock sent in
OATs.-Any advance in prices comes slow.
The bulk of the business has been at 80 to
Sole for clipped white. Low grades are dull.
HAY AND STRAw.-Choice hay is steady
al quotations. The market is well supplied
with low and medium grades. Rye straw
is quiet.
CoRN.-Prices have taken an upward ten
dency, and at the closs the market is firm
at the advance. b lyers are only meeting
pressing needs.
FLoUR.-The firmer tone for grain has
helped the market for flour, and values are
generally held on a strong basis. The low
grades continue dull.
MAPLE SUGAR.-Small lots of new are be-
ginning to come in, but prices are not estab-
lished as yet. Some OF the first arrivals of
choice new small cakes will probably bring
12c, but receivers are looking for low prices
this year Old tub sugar sells at SCI old
Ion, but sells hard.
BUTrER.-There has been no marked
change during the week. The feeling is
steadier on strictly fine fresh-made cream
cry, with some of the finest Vermont lots
bringing 22c, but for best western zoe Is
about all that can be realized. Some special
marks of both northern and western exceed
quotations, but such sales are too excep-
tional TO quote.
LUMBER. - Encouraging reports are re-
ceived Of the sales Of northern and eastern
spruce manufacturers. One manufacturer
claims that he sold nineteen cars on one or
der at full combn alton prices. Most of tn >
lumber that is now being sold is from the
car mills which are endeavoring to main
tain market values. The cargo mills have
not shipped any to speak of as YETI in fact,
| they have taken very few orders for stuff,
as it is rather early as yet. These manu-
| facturers are in the combination with the
others but have not done enough yet to test
| the market.

Good Points OF a Horse.

What are the points of servicea BILE
horse, such as most people want to buy?
The chief ones are the eye and head;
for, whether on the score of safety or
of pleasure in ownership, the essential
thing is to have horse that is intelli-
gent and gentle, or one that is intelli-
gent and vicious, rather than stupid,
for stupid horses are the most danger
Gus of all Every horse shows his
character in his head, and chiefly in the
eye, just as certainly as man shows
his character in his face; although, as
in he case of men, it is not alway 8
asy to read what is written in the
equine features. But as to horses of
positive character, positively good or
positively bad, there need be no mis-
take. / once bought mare of dealer,
for woman's use, without even taking
her out OF the stable. She seemed to
be sound, and | felt sure from her eye
that she was unusually gentle and safe,
and so she proved to be. On the other
hand, out of six or eight horses shown
to me at a sale-stable, on another occa.

Care of Milk,

When practicable, milking should be
done by the same person, and with reg
ularity as to time. He only that hath
clean hands should be allowed to milk a
COW. 1t is no more difficult to milk with
dry hands than with wet. 1t is GER
tainly more clearly, and leaves the
milk in much more desirable condi-
lion for table use or manufacture. Pure
stable atmosphere is indispensable to
prevent contamination from that source.
Immediate straining will remove impu-
rites which otherwise might be dis
solved to the permanent injury of the
Whole product. After the straining is
attended to, the milk should be aerated.
Too often it is poured into one large
can and left there just as the COWS have
given it. That neglect implies three
things that are very injurious TO its
quality for cheese. making: Q) The pc
culiar odor which the COW imparts to
the milk will be left in it until it be-
comes fixed in the flavor. (2) The
germs of fermentati IN that come in the
milk and from the air have the best
condition for growth and action when
the milk is left undisturbed. (3) Then
the milk will become almost unfit for
thorough coagulation by rennet. Hence
is it needful aud advantageous to aerate
it for three reasons: Q) Because by
pouring, stirring, dipping, or by trick-
ling it over an exposed surface there is
eliminated from the milk by evapora-
ton any Objectionable volatile element
that may be in it. (2) Because, as has
already been stated, the milk contains
germs of fermentation. One of these
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-03-27

are called vibriones. A strange pc.
culiarity about these microbes is that
they become active only in the absence
of free oxygen. When warm new milk
is left undsturbed carbonic gas is gen
Grated, and that furnishes the best con-
dition for the commencement of action
by these almost invisible creatures
After they get started they can keep up
their work of decomposition even in the
presence of oxygen. 1t is impossible
TO so coagulate such milk as to yield a
fine quality of keeping cheese. Coagu.
lation by rennet of milk that is ripe can
never be perfect unless it has been
thoroughly aerated Immediately after
it is taken from the COW. Neglect of
aeraton will increase the quantity of
milk required to make pound of
cheese. (3) Because the airing seems
to give vigor to the germs of fermenta-
ton that bring about az acid condition
of the milk without producing the acid.
So much is this 80 that i. has been found
impracticable to make strictly 6rst-class
cheddar cheese from milk that has not
been aerated.-Pioneer Press.

Beware Of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is tenfold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. In buying Hall Catarrh Cure be

Diseases of Wool,

A disease not incident to sheep so
much as it is directly due to mis-
management of the fleece is what is
known as cotting Of the wool. Every
one acquainted with the character of
wool knows how easily it is felted by
the action of pressure when wet; the
fbers adhere together and fasten to
each other by the minute imbrications,
like hooks, on the fiber. 1t is to these,
when wool is wet and pressed together
and rubbed, that the telling of the wool
