The Chinese are not usully credit
ed with merciful qualities, but if the
man is merciful who is merciful to
his beast the quality must be nat
ural to many Chinese in America.
The few Chinese in our great cities
who deliver goods to their country
men or have other uses for horses
often possess sleek and well fed ami
mails whose care shows great fond
ness and generosity.
The Oregonian says that there is
Chinese vegetable peddler in Port
land whose two horses have long
been admired by his customers. He
feeds them on the street, and one
day lately some passersby, who saw
that the man always seemed to be
connecting some special dish for the
team, watched him prepare their
luncheon.
First he led the horses into the
shade, loosened the traces and took
off the brides. Then he took a
nosebag for each, and into each bag
poured good measure of rolled
barley. Next he cut up some car
rots small, put them into the nose
bags and mixed them up with the
barley. Finally he went to his wag-
on and got four eggs, two of which
he broke into each measure, and
stirred them up with the barley and
carrots.
The horses watched all these prep
arations with great interest and
were ''correspondingly elated," as
the election dispatches say, when
the bags containing the appetizing
mixture were hung on their noses.
They proceeded to eat with gusto,
and the Chinaman turned to frugal
lunch of his own, which apparently
consisted of an onion and piece OF
dry bread.
White drivers who give their
horses nicer lunch than they
themselves eat are probably rare,
east or west.

Never before in the history of the
expositions has so much interest
been awakened in educational Cir
cles than has attended the wonder
full performances given at Hagen
backs, at the Omaha Exposition.
Thousands of school children in
charge of their parents or friends
have visited it to see Bronco Boca-
clio, the famous lion tanner; the
man-eating Lion, Wallace; Jolly,
the educated Elephant; Johnny, the
Clown Bear; added to all other in
teresting attractions. This show is
the historic educator of the young,
and also the old, and the opportu-
nifty of visiting it while at the Oma-
ha Exposition is matter of 1nnch
importance to all school teachers,
parents and educators. 1t delights
the children and captivates every
one, and is solid as the Union.

AERATION AND COOLING.
A Matter of Million Dollars to Ameri-
can Dairymen.

Matter of Million Dollars to Ameri-
can Dairymen.
Scientists tell us that the milk com
ing from healthy COW, fed pure food,
is virtually free from germs and pure,
but practice teaches US that it is impos-
sible to secure the milk in that condi-
ton.
Even if the milk comes from a per-
fectly clean stable, where the COWS and
all surroundings are kept clean, the i'm
mediate aeration and cooling of the milk
are of incalculable value, providing al
ways that the work is done in room
where the air is pure.
Though no scientific explanation can
be given US as to the reason why aera-
ton improves the milk, yet it seems to
me possible that it may be caused by
the fact that many Of the bacteria caus-
ing faint are anaerobic and develop best
where the air is excluded and that even
If the Tactic acid bacteria should de-
velop little these are, if limited,
really of benefit, giving flavor as shown
in cream ripening. That aeration elimi
mates many odors caused by gases is &C.
knowledged by all.
That cooling the milk at once after
milking is an enormous help in preserv-
ing it is easily understood when we
know that the development of all spores
and bacteria is retarded exactly in pro-
portion to the reduction Of the tempera-
ture. This is best understood by the
psychological experiments, which
showed that milk containing originally
975 bacteria, kept at SO degrees, multi

Milk In Difrerent Seasons.

The flush of young grass in the spring
time stimulates the production of a
large quantity of comparatively poor
milk. The dried, brown pasture in the
hot weather of autumn causes shrink
ing OF the same, with corresponding
increase in the total solids-that is,
more particularly in the butter fat-and
no alteration in the feeding to counter
act these effects has permanent ma
terial influence on the composition of
the milk.

Period of Lactation.

Irrespective of everything else, COW
yields the largest quantity Of milk of
the poorest quality some six or seven
weeks after calving, and as the quantity
goes down from advancing lactation
the quality or richness of the same goes
up, the increase being more particularly
in the butter fat alone.

Cold Barns.

Those whose cattle barns are not
warm enough to work in comfortably
without an overcoat and mittens in the
winter or even without any coat in Or
binary winter weather may be sure they
are not warm enough for the cows to
do their best in, or for calves and young
stock to grow rapidly without extra al
lowance of heating food. Covering up
cracks and seeing that windows and
doors shut snugly will help some, but
we remember when boy and when
COWS were kept in barn with unshin-
gled sides and ends having to help line
the walls back of stock with old boards
and slabs nailed on the inside Of the
posts and stuffing the space between
this lining and the outer boards with
bog hay, SO that no wind could coma
through. Taking out the old board
slide window where the manure was
thrown out into the yard and putting
i'll larger half window from all old
building SO that we had light enough to
take care of the COWS without leaving
door or window open was another i'm
provement, and all was done at small
expense and but little labor, which
were important considerations in those
days to poor farmers, trying to do the
best they could with what they had -

SIMPLE MILK COOLER,

piled in thres hours 1.O6 times, in six
hours 2.5 times and in nine hours 5
times, whereas at " degrees it multi
piled in three hours twice, in six
hours 1876 times and nine hours 1O.. 5
times, and at 95 degrees they multi
piled in three hours times, in six
hours 1890 times and in nine hours
1874 times. On the other hand, if kept
at 45 degrees, having been cooled to
that temperature at once after milking.
there is hardly any increase at all. It is
thus evident that, combining aeration
with cooling as soon as possible after
milking, we gain double effect, and
this is best obtained by letting the milk
flow over surface Of tin or timed cop
per, which is cooled by cold water or
ice.
1t is also evident that the easier such
an apparatus is kept clean the better it
is. If for unavoidable reasons (?) the
milk cannot be treated at once, feel
inclined to advise reheating it to SO or
ITO degrees before aerating and cooling
In view of some practical experiments
made by me, / cannot urge the aerating
and cooling Of all milk too strongly,
not only for direct consumption, but for
creameries and cheese factories.
do not fear being accused Of exag-
geration if I claim that if all milk
brought to our factories were thus
treated, it would improve the quality
of our butter with at least one-fourth
cent, and our cheese with one-half cent
per pound, and this would virtually be
an increased annual value of these prod.

The mother of Blind Tom, the negro
musical prodigy, lives in Columbus,
Ga. She is IS years old and makes
her living by doing washing and iron.
ing. Her name is Charity Virgins.
She has had nineteen children besides
Tom. A writer who recently visited
her gives her story of Blind Toms first
attempt at playing the piano. He was
oply a wear old when he was taken up
to the big house," as she called her
masters residence, to see the sights.
While the family were at dinner Tom $
mother missed him from the kitchen.
She hunted all through that part of the
house and the surrounding lawns. but
could not find him. When the family
returned to the parlor they found the
child standing at the piano, his little
hands on a level with his head, as he
reached up to the keys, playing away
as though he had been taking lessons
avery day from the time of his birth.
After that it was impossible to keep
