ODOR IN MILK.

To determine whether an odor in
milk is due to bacteria or other
wise, writes F. W. Mossman, set q
pail of the milk at a temperature of say
seventy degrees in a room known to
be free from odor. After three or four
hours go to the milk, stir it briskly,
and notice whether the odor has in
creased or not. If the former, then
the trouble is of bacterial origin. II
the latter, it is an odor from some out
side source and can probably be traced
to the stable or milk room. At all
events clean everything thoroughly.
If the cause is meteorological, that is,
there is an undesirable ferment pres
ent in the milk and the cleaning does
not remove it, 60 to some one who has
milk that is known to be all right.
Get a quantity after it has become
sour, bring it home and put little
into all the pals, watts, strainers,
churn, etc. In fact, wash them in
this sour milk, leaving some in to act
as starter to correct the bad fermen-
tation when more milk is introduced.
The most troublesome ferments may
be got rid Of by such a course, Bad
ferments betoken uncleanly work. By
far the best of all remedies is preven-
tion, and prevention is obtained by
cleanliness.

STOCK IN RAINY WEATHER.

Stock at pasture in summer often
suffer more from cold in wet weather
such as We have lately beens having
than they do from the cold Of winter.
The constant evaporation of moisture
which is hastened by the warmth gen.
Grated by the body chills the skin, and
gives the animal what is known as
cold, but is really internal fever.
Mich COWS and those heavy with
young suffer most, as they cannot SO
well run around and thus keep their
blood circulating. Every farmer has
noticed that after rain has fallen all
day the milk yield shrinks if the COW
has been exposed to the wet. For
this reason shed in the pasture field
may be a good investment. Better
still is it to get the COWS up to the
barnyard under shelter and cut some
grass for them, giving bran mash to
increase the nutrition. Wet grass in
field or cut does not have the proper
ton of nutriment to it's bulk that the
same grass has in dry weather with
only its own natural juices in it.

Where corn is raised on q large scaYe,

Where corn is raised on large scaYe,
this loosening the surface soil after the
crop is too large for the cultivator is
seldom practiced, but it pays, and in
neglecting this one Of the great leaks
on the farm remains unstopped.
With small fruits and orchards the
cultivator or weeder, the latter con-
sisting Of beam to which is fastened
large number Of springy, heavy
wire teeth, must be kept going from
spring until fail, at least until the fruit
has been gathered. Blackberries and
raspberries are especially susceptible
to drouth and require particular atten-
ton. Young orchids and nursery
stock thrive best when given such
treatment, and the same is true Of
currants and gooseberries.
Gardens flourish under the same
treatment. AS rule, garden soils are
i very high tilth and do not suffer SO
much from lack of careful culture in
dry weather, Where the soil is very
loose and friable it may be necessary
to compact it, then loosen up the sur
face to prevent evaporation. A con-
slant stirring will prove beneficial to
those garden crops which grow through
the late summer months.

In Boys Reformatory Institutions.

visited several of the reformatory
institutions to see what was being
done for the younger boys i'll regard to
manual training. found very little
systematic instruction. The principal
occupation was Gaming chairs, knitting
stocking by machinery and other pure
ly mechanical work. In none of the
schools was there systematic instruc-
ton in manual training as it is now
carried on in educational institutions.
In fact, there were so many young
boys who could not be kept busy at
machine work that large part Of the
time which might have been usefully
employed was spent in idleness. Dur
ing these hours the boys found occu-
pations on their own account for their
hands to do to limited extent.
In one institution the boys had
taken from their hatbands the broad
steel wires which kept them in shape,
broken them into pieces from three to
six inches in length, ground these
upon the door-steps or walls of the
buildings and usen them as knives to
whittle such bits Of wood as they could
pick up about the yard or secure from
the janitors when they made the fires.
They made a handle by winding on
the ravelings of stockings or binding
two bits of wood on either side. Lit.
tie boats, paper knives and household
furniture were rudely shaped by these
crude instruments. Some of the boys
were put there for wrecking trains, for
burglary, ETC., and their tendencies
were sometimes expressed in the
things they tried to make, for instance,
pistols, small knives and weapons such
as boys might use in Indian raids, etc.

cow PEAS FOR SEED.

Before harvesting let the pods of the
peas get fairly dry, but do not allow
them to stand until shattering will re-
suit. OF course all will not ripen
evenly. Some pods will bedry before
others are fully formed. Judgment
must be used as to the exact time of
cutting. Peas do not shatter very
readily, SO it is best to let them get
pretty thoroughly ripened. Gut with
mower, rake up and pile in small
cocks until the vines have dried. III
the weather is not rainy or damp they
will dry out completely. But it is
best to haul to some open shed or the
barn and spread out on the floor or
racks until threshing time. If there
is any tendency to mold, turn over oc-
casionally. With dry air there will
be little difficulty in getting them
thoroughly dried.
If bean thresher is owned in the
neighbour ood, run the peas through
this and they will come out cleaned
and ready for storing. The straw will
probably be so woody that stock will
not estit readily, but put it somewhere
in the feed lot so that the animals may
pick it at will. If no regular bean
thresher is available, an ordinary
wheat thresher can be used by taking
out about half the concaye, then prop

TALES ABOUT TABBY.

In Naples cats are kept in the many
churches to catch the mice that infest
them. They are supported by the au.
thorities, and they may be often seen
during the services sometimes walk
ing sedately before the altar during
mass or purring at the feet OF the
worshippers.
A cat was brought to Shelbyville,
Ind, some months ago from Topeka,
Kan, but becoming dissatisfied with
its new location went back to his old
home, performing the journey on foot,
distance of 600 miles.
Some time ago learned professor
made the important announcement
that cats possess distinct language
which he declared is much like that Of
the Chinese, being musical, mellifu.
Gus, and pleasing to the senses" He
claimed to have discovered sixty prim-
tive words in the cat language, and
spent most of his nights in the back
yard looking for more.
The cats on the Isle of Man have no
tails. This singular circumstance is
accounted for by tradition which
says that a cat while going on an er.
rand of mercy had its caudal append.
age seized by the devil, who pulled
that member off close to the body.
Since that time Manx cats have been
tailless.
Solomon is said to have had cat
which he taught to hold candle so
that he could read at night. One
evening while thus engaged an at.
tendant entered with some mice, which
he liberated in the room. When the
cat saw them she gave chase, candle in
hand, but, finding she was very much
handicapped, she threw the light on
the floor, leaving the wise man in
darkness, while she proceeded to the
determination of the rodents.
In Lorraine, if parents wish to dis
courage the addresses Of Young
man to their daughter, they send him
kitten. But sometimes love laughs
at kittens as we'll as locksmiths.
