ABOUT BITTER MILK.

Cleanliness VIII Remove Most OF the
Causes which Produce It
Bitter milk has three causes-some-
thing eaten by the COW, advanced period
OF CESSATION and pure cussedness. IL is
not pleasant thing TO contemplate,
but there is "A great deal OF horse ma
nure eaten by cows. The best way
after regulating the ration is to fence
off part of the yard, and put the horse
manure in il, or else fence off the cows.
have read that rag weed would cause
bitter milk, but as my cows would
never eat il cannot say anything from
my own experience on that score.
For the second cause there is no cure
that am aware of, and the third is al
most as hard to prevent. Briefly stated
in its natural state milk after GER
tain time gets sour because of the action
of certain kind OF bacteria whose bust
ness il is to make milk sour. But IL
these bacteria are prevented from get
ting in their work owing to cold wealth
er (they work only in warm weather or
in warm temperature) then nature,
which abhorscven n vacuum of bacteria,
Immediately sets another gang Of bac-
terra to work whose job il is TO make
milk bitter. And politicians attended
20 their job as well as bitter bacteria TO
theirs we would be much better off, for
II takes much work to persuade them 10
quit work. The remedy Is first to wash
with boiling water every vessel with
which the milk or cream comes In con-
tact, or. better still, put the vessels in
boiling water on the stove for 10 or 10
minutes. This kills of all the bitter
bacteria. Then TO get the sour bacteria
10 work for few days keep all the milk
at temperature of 10 degrees and put
n little sour buttermik in the cream.
This will give the sour bacteria a
chance TO get firmly established. Then
do not let the mix get too cold or IL
will all have Co be done oyer ngain. AS
two sets OF bacteria cannot get along at
the same TIVE the bitter bacteria give
up the educational StocIsman.

be demonstrated by the fact that the
counties having the best roads will
maintain them at less cost than the mud
roads, with all their inconvenience,
are maintained In their wretched condi-
ton. The work required by law of
nble-bodied men. together with the
road tax, gives to the road supervisors
of our state the expenditure, in money
and labor, OF vast sum. Much of this
Is wasted by reason OF incompetent
management. The railroad tax for
highway improvement, in some road
districts of our state, is so manipulated
by the road supervisor that the money
inures more to his benefit than the inn
provement of the thoroughfares. In
some instances in our state, broker
age business is carried on. and money
is made out of traflicing in this road tax.
While some of our road laws need re-
forming, the manner of their execution
needs revolution. When competence is
made the test in selecting supervisors,
and taxpayers see that they discharge
their duties, we will find some improve
ment in our highways without addi-
tional tax.--From the Inaugural Ad-
dress of Gov. Mount, OF Indiana.

pRopAoArlNo TANK.
One Can he Made &C Home at Really
Trihing Expense.

Most farmers, particularly those rails
ing early vegetables. sometimes wish
they had a good propagating tank for
starting cuttings. Many an odd dollar
can be picked up in the spring with a
few hundred lowering plants or early
tomato and lettuce plants. little sand
table, with gentle heat, would be very
handy in the house. A hotbed may be
inconyenient or troublesome and a
small greenhouse out of the question.
Such propagating tank suitable for
window can be easily made by any tim
smith or gas filter. Have the gas man
join up with fellows" three pieces OF
common inch gas pipe; two pieces, A.
three inches long and one piece, b. five
feet long. Joined up, they would look
like Fig. 1. Have a zinc box made five
feet long, two feet wide and six inches
deep and made water-tight. AT one
end, in the middle. cut two holes, so
that the piece OF gas pipe can be laid
in the box. resting on the bottom and
projecting two inches beyond the box.
Fig. 2 shows how the pipe is placed on
the box. The openings where the pipe
enters the box are TO be soldered up wa
ter-tight. The box is then placed on a
table with the pipe end of the box pro-
iecting beyond the table as seen in Fig.
3. The box is then filed with water,
covering the top of the pipe as shown by
the dotted line. c. Place in the water
pieces of brick and on the brick lay
pieces of roofing slate 10 form loose
slate top two inches from the top of the
box and half an inch above the top Of
the water, as shown at d. Leave small
hole in one corner Of the slate TO supply
water TO the tanks. Fill the whole top
of the box over the slate with sand, e..
In this sand cuttings can be raised, as
the tank, when in operation, will be full
OF warm water, giving gentle bottom
heat for the cuttings.
For heat use IA small kerosene lamp,
I, placed directly under that part of the
pipe which projects beyond the box.
The engraving shows the position Of
the box on the table and the lamp.

about put price. Fair buying develop
ed at the decline and the market gradu-
ally recovered to 921zc, becoming very dull
but steady at that price December also

24c under yesterdays close. , Allen &
Grier bought at under 95c, and December

ceipts were 1872 cars. May opened a shade
lower at 2824 a287sc, declined to 231ac and
