butter fat. 3 60; casein and albumen, 300
milk sugar, l.SS, and ash, II, the total
solids being 1855. The proportion of but
ter fat varies according to the breed of
cows, the individuals of each breed, the
seasons of the year and the kinds of food.
The amount of butter from butter fat
should be lis pound of butter from one
pound of butter fat, which, however, de-
ponds upon the Swimming, the churning,
the water and salt in the butter, etc but
the Is per cent. additional will be very
close to the correct amount, hence, 100
pounds of milk (about 80 quarts, which
contains per cent. of butter fat should
make about 40 pounds of butter. The
highest public record for yield of butter
fat by COW, was at the dairy show in
Chicago, in three days test she producing
an average OF ST. pounds of milk per day
with al average daily yield of 3 II pounds
of batter fat There may have been higher
averages hut this is referred to as being a
public test, she not only being good but
ter COW, hut also yielding an enormous
quantity of milk. If the dairyman can
secure an animal that eXcels in both milk
and butter she will give larger profit than
one excelling in butter with low milk
record.

The average fleece in Arizona is said to

heavy fleece, but the shrinkage is about 73
per cent, or nearly three-fourths, which
reduces the weight to less than three

sixty pounds, from Il month old ram.
The heaviest fleece from II month old

The caustic properties of the potash in
wood ashes make the ashes excellent pre-
ventives of the attacks of lice. Where the
ground is dug from the roots of trees and
unleached wood ashes applied, returning
the soil removed, and using ashes ON the
surface also, the result has been beneficial.
Potash is an essential plant food, and the
use of wood ashes is equivalent to the use
of fertilizer, for, although they do not con-
tain ammonia they contain lime and phos-
phoric acid, the latter as phosphate of
lime.

DEEP CANS PREFERRED.

The Indiana experiment station, under
the direction of Prof Plumb has given
this subject much attention and quite q
number of experiments have been made to
test the advantages and disadvantages Of
deep and shallow pans. The conclusions
were that the best plan is to set the milk
in round tin cans, which should be about
eighteen inches deep and eight inches in
diameter, the can to be placed in ice water,
or cold spring water, to the depth of the
milk, which keeps the mill; at uniform
temperature and enables the cream to rise
to the best advantage. Such cans, known
as shotgun cans, may he procured Of any
dairy supply house. The cream may lie
SKINNED off by raising conical skinner
from the surface, or the milk may be drawn
off from below with the aid of a faucet,
leaving the cream in the can. Drawing
the milk from below was preferred as the
loss from that method was only o = per
cent, with 034 per cent. loss from the
skimming method. 1t is suggested that
the milk he set in a creamer, so as to pro-
tect from odors, and also because the cans
may easily he set in ice water in the
creamer instead of in the spring house or
on the floor of the cellar.

Speaking of the reference in the

not very hard to prove any proposition
necessary on that line by those same
Scriptures. The New York Sun tells
the story OF the arraignment Of one
John McNulty. When brought before

McNulty: "Ths policeman said be
found yon drunk in the hall at 113
Christopher street, last night"
The prisoner answered, ST but obey

magistrate, ''for you were drunk
Whereupon the prisoner asked for q
Bible, and upon one being given him,
with great promptness he opened 1t
ard read the sixth and seventh verses
Of the thirty first chapter of Proverbs:
Give strong drink unto him that Is ready
to perish, and wine unto those that be OF
heavy hearts.
Let him drink and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
He was discharged, and, as be
walked out. he explained that he had
been educated in a theological semi
nary, but drink had ruined him.

As the Silver City Eagle remarks,
such another case as The Bsrregos,
Valencia and Alarid, the men who
were convicted Of the murder OF Fran.
cisco Chavez, has never been known In
the Territory of New Mexico and IL is
doubtful whether . parallel cas has
ever occurred in this country. The
case has been before three different
courts, the district court for the county
of Santa Fe, the supreme court Of the
Territory and the supreme court Of the
United States. In each Of thsse courts
the action was adverse 10 the defend
ants. The governor Of the Territory
acted OF the case adversely.

President Mckinley, who reprieyed the
men for ten days in order that he
might examine more fully into the

lieves in trees, and it has, in fact, .
tree planting and fountain society, the
purpose Of whichfsis to- promote the
growth Of trees, to protect them. and
to have fountains erected in suitable
places. Through the seal Of this So
ciety The public has come to take an
interest in the subject to which it is
devoted, and the people in general
have learned much more about trees
than they ever knew before. besides
having their affection for them strength.

as to the best locations for certain trees,
how they should be cared for. what in
sects and other agencies are injurious,

OF members under It's charge,
sprays them and clears them Of eggs,
and guards them from injury ct the

Although nothing is more common
than trees, the number Of persons who
know anything about the rare Of them
is extremely limited. Every year In

have the holiday called arbor day, but
