BACTERIA OF THE BARN.

In these days when some phase of
bacteriology enters into almost every
action of man, it is time for the farmer
to consider its relation to his work,
writes G. D. Reed. For his first field
of study he might we'll turn to his
COW barn, where he will not only find
the greatest abundance of material,
but where a few thoughtful precau-
tions will be we'll repaid. Under the
nearly perfect conditions Of the new
experimental barn at the Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station it has been found
that in five minutes time an average
of 4454 germs will fall upon surface
equal to that of the milk in an ordin-
ary sized milk pail, il it were set a
few feet behind the cows. Directly
under the COWS the number would be
much increased, owing to dislodgment
during milking. Observations in the
open air outside the barn revealed
only about one-fourth as many.
Among these barn germs are in
cluded the beneficial Tactic acid pro-
ducing species, SO necessary to ripen-
ing of cream, as we'll as the dele
terious producers Of some of the most
nauseating taints and putrefnctions.
Infection from these latter is in pro-
portion to the cleanliness of the barn,
the COWS, the mixer, the milk err,
clothes, ventilation, etc. Neither
feeding with coarse folders nor clean
ing the stable should be dane during
milkin2 or nearer than ST hour or u

Metal as a Building Material.

It is we'll within the memory of
many persons when metal as q build
ing material was practically unknown,
says the Philadelphia Record. But
within a few years building has been
almost revolutionized by the use of
metal in various forms and for various
purposes. Iron beams, columns, gir-
ders, rafters and window sashes have
come into use, and now we are to
have as a regular addition to our list
q great variety of stamped-out Sec
tions. These have heretofore been
made mostly out of galvanized iron
or some composition of the spelter
sort, or, in fine and high priced work
bronze has been employed. Steel is,
however, found to answer all demands
far better than any other metal used
for this purpose. Door and window
castings will be made of metal, and,
indeed, almost oil parts of house
may be constructed of something be-
sides wood. With paper-pulp doors
and floors, metal frames and finish,
slate or tin roofs, and Portland ce-
ment or concrets walls, our houses
may in time come to be actually fire.

IMPORTANCE OF BEES.

Bees play great part in the produc-
tion of crops. Previous to 1887 red
clover in New Zealand had to be re-
sown every year with seed imported
from England, as there was no insect
in the islands which could impregnate
the flower. In that year, however, the
last of many attempts to introduce the
humble bee succeeded. New Zealand
now supplies itself with clover seed, as
we'll as having permanent clover pas
lures, and it is calculated that the in
PRODUCTION of this single insect is
worth a million sterling to the coun-
try.
This is but one of many experiences
which seem to show that nature has
placed honey in the flowers not SO
much for supplying food for bees and
other insects. but that fertilization of
plants may be accomplished. The bee
in flying from flower to flower gets
busted with pollen from the anthers or
male organs of blossoms, and in this
way it is conveyed to the stigmas or
female organs. 1t is interesting to
note that when bee starts on for.
aging tour she confines herself to one
description of flowers, for perhaps if
there were not SO the mixture of diff
ferent pollens might interfere with
this proper fertilization. 1t will
therefore be seen from this action of
bees on plants, that the agriculturist
owes as much to the "little busy bee"
as he does to his own skill and ex-
perience in tilling the soil and in
choosing his seeds.

Electricity Generated in Ills Mouth

A curious case has just been re.
corded in which an electric current
was found to be generated by a pair
of artificial teeth. A patient con.
suited his doctor on account of Sc.
we're pain in his tongue. But the suf-
ferer was assured that there was moth.
ing the matter. He then paid visit
to his dentist, vino informed him that
his teeth were perfectly sound. Be.
ing, however, dissatisfied he called
upon an electrician he knew and asked
him if it were possible he could have
any electricity in his mouth. On ex-
amining the teeth his friend found
that two metals were used to fix them
to composition plate. To these
metal wires were then attached and
connected to galvanometer. Then
the teeth we're replaced in the pa
TENTS mouth and the metals moist
ened with saliva. No sooner was this
done than the galvanometer showed
quite large current from 80 small q
source-enough, it is stated to cause
liberation and severe pain when long
continued upon SO sensitive an organ
as the tongue. The plate was covered
with an insulating varnish, and thence
forward all the trouble ceased. In

before milking time. for myriads OF
germs may thus be set in motion, and
the milk pail being usually near the
floor will get its share. Horses should
never be kept in the same section OF
the barn with COWS, for horse manure
is very favorable medium for the
growth of putrefactive species. The
presence of horses only multiplies the
disagreeable odors so readily absorbed
by the milk during it's short stay in
the barn.
As it comes from the udder of o
healthy COW milk contains no germs,
and if properly handled may produce
the finest of butter; but if subjected
to filthy infections of any kind, strong
butter is the certain result. In part,
this explains the difference between
ten-cent and twenty five cent butter.

SCAB IN FOWLS,

The disease in poultry which ap-
pears in the form of thick scabs on
the legs is due to the presence of
mites, which burrow under the skin,
this being in the form of the coarse
scales by which the legs of birds are
covered. II one Of the scales is lifted,
a mass Of pulverulent matter will be
found under it, among which there
will be seen numerous minute mites
crawling. The irritation thus caused
produces a discharge of serum, which
coagulates and forms glutinous mat
ter under the scales, and in this the
mites live and breed. The disease be-
longs to the same class of parasitic
complaints as itch, mango, and the
sheep scab. The same remedies will
therefore be useful. These are to ap-
ply some wash that will kill the in
sects, and thus relieve the birds from
their tormentors. The most effective
remedy has been found in a mixture
of kerosene and soap dissolved in
water, or of kerosene and any kind of
oil. These are we'll brushed into the
skin and under the scales, which may
first be we'll soaked in hot water to
loosen the gathered matter under
them and permit the easy diffusion of
the oil. To keep the perches we'll
soaked with kerosene and any kind of
grease will then prevent return of
the disease. AS these minute insects
gather and breed in dust, and most of
all in the collected manure of the
fowls, it is great relief to observe
thorough cleanliness in the poultry
house. New York Times.

DISEASES OF CABBAGE AND TuRN1p.

At last we have satisfactory ex.
planation of the real nature of those
diseases of the cabbage and of the tur-
nip, closely allied plant to the cab
bage, by which the roots of the one
and the bulbs of the other are injured
to such an extent as to wholly destroy
the product. This is afforded by q
very interesting bulletin of the Cor
nell IN. W Experiment Station, the
author of which is Professor NJ. v.
Slingerlan1, and which should be
studied by all concerned.
There are two pests in this work,
one a maggot of fly, and the other a
microbe; the former eats and destroys
the roots. while the other-the mi
crobe-causes the deformities so often
found on the roots of the cabbage,
and so we'll known as club root. The
latter has given rise to much study by
intelligent growers of cabbages, Of
whom the late Peter Henderson wrote
the most about it. 1t was shrewd
thought of Mr.. Henderson that the
application of lime was an effective
remedy for this disease, and now that
the nature of it, which was not known
then, is understood, it is most proba.
BILE that the use of lime will be found,
as was said to be the case by Mr.. Hen.
derson, a preventive, by destroying
the organism in the soil. 1t may be
that the weakness of the plants, due to
the want of some necessary element of
their food, gives aid and help to the
organism existing in the soil, and that
better attention to the fertilizing of
the land may tend to avoid the results
of this disease. The plants of the cab
bage tribe (the Brassicae) have an ash
specially rich in several elements that
are not always thought necessary, as.
for instance, they all contain from ten
to seventeen per cent. of ash-an un-
usually large proportion-in which
there are twenty to forty-eight per
cent. of potash, tivet to eleven per cent.
of soda, notable proportion of mag
nesia, eleven to thirty-three per cent.
of lime, eleven to fourteen per cent.
of srlphuric acid, fifteen to twenty
per cent. of phosphoric acid, and % to
six per cent. of chlorine.
These figures show that potash,
common salt, (soda and ohlorine,)
superphosphate of lime and magnesia,
are all indispensable for full feeding
of these plants. And We, well know
that an animal-and equally a plant
must be fully fed and completely
nourished, or it will be diseased. And
in most cases the disease is of that
class which is produced by parasites,
which take possession of the weak aud
insufficiently-nourlshed individuals. -

four or five dealers in Pittsburg that

ness is not thoroughly worked in this
city, but in other large cities of the
country the profits are many times
greater. In this city the collectors
gather up something like 100000
bottles year. The profits range from
half cent to three cents on each bot
tie. According to the figures given
by dealer yesterday, the average
profit on each bottle is three-fourths
off cent. There is considerable money
