Howard Blanchard submitted at once

ICE IN 1AE CREAMERY.

Ice should never be permitted to come
in direct contact with butter in the
creamery, either in the ohurn or on the
worker. Cool the cream before churn-
ing so that the butter will not be soft
when il breaks. IL, on occasion, this j.
not done, firm the butter, while yet In
sranules, with cold water to which lit
tie salt has been added. The reason Tor
using cold water-ice water IL need be
in preference to ice, is that the water
nermeates the entire mass of granules
and eools them evenly, whereas the ice
comes in contact with only small part.
Make the working room ss cool as pos
sible by hanging wet cloths at the win
dows and doors, and otherwise about the
room. and sprinkliog the floor. IL Is
practicable to make almost any room
auite cool in this way even In the hottest
weather. r.-Hoard's Dairyman.

One Of the most poisonous snakes az

became nearly blind. When it shed its
skin, it threw of every part except tho
transparent plate which covers the eye.
After each change Of skin this plate re-
mained uncast, and the successive lay
ers became Opaque and projected over
the eye in horny boss. The keeper
used ehe snake habit Of creeping through
any aperture which II can find i'll the
wall of its cage TO rid itself OF the
growth over the eye. He drew back the
iron shutter which separates one com.
partment from the other, leaving rar-
row space open. The cobra soon discov-
cred this, and pushed its nose into the
crack. This was slightly widened, and
the snake squeezed through, rubbing of
one of the scales as il did so. II was
then induced 30 go back by the way II
had come, and after this had been re
peated once or twice itscleared the scale
from the other eye. Since then it has
cast its skin completely and its eyes are
apparently none the worse for It's tenn
