Nervousness In Cows,

To most people the cow is the most
placid and least excitable animal in
the world. When well fed and not dis
turbed about her calf she will lie and
chew the cud of contentment for
hours, and while thus undisturbed will
secrete all the milk possible from the
food She has eaten. Yet the domestic
cow, if she be good mixer, has a
capacity for becoming nervous and ex-
citable such as the OK or spayed COW
cannot rival. At all times the first
class mich COW must be hearty
feeder. So long as she is given all she
wants she may be quiet enough But
if placed in pasture where the food
is insufficient or too poor in quality
the quie, COW will soon develop rowing
instincts and will break through
fences in order to get at what she
likes. The COW that will not do this in
case OF necessity is OF little use for
the dairy.-American Cultivator.

Geese Mature Slowly.

Unlike hens and ducks, geese do not
arrive at their maturity until their
third year. 1t is not considered profit
able to keep them long after the eighth
year. Inbreeding is one of the greatest
evils TO be guarded against. Unless
new blood is introduced into the fock
at least once every five years the geese
are sure to deteriorate to serious de-
gree. If a flock is well kept up, how
ever, geese can be readily produced
that will weigh from II to IS pounds
each. dressed. They will, at the same
time, be productive of feathers, which
usually sell at q very good price

AMERICAl5 APPLE JELLY.
1t Is Used as the Base of Nearly All the
Various Jellies Put on
the Market.

Apple jelly is used as the base of
nearly all the various jellies manu-
featured. American apple jelly is ex-
ported to every known part of the
world. In all ordinary jellies, sugar
plays the principal part. but in apple
jelly sugar is an unknown ingredient.
Apples as the raw material are not
used, but apple juice or cider is, and
it must be treated Immediately after
it comes from the press. A moderate
temperature is necessary for success,
for if the juice should begin to fer.
ment, as it will very rapidly in warm
weather, the keeping quality of the
jelly is very materially injured, unless
it be mixed with considerable guam
tity of sugar. A temperature of Al
degrees Fahr. is the most suitable: if it
rises above &C degrees the manufac
ture will at once stop.
In manufacture, the juice runs from
the press to the boiler, beneath which
u strong. steady fire is kept so as to
keep the juice at a boil. With the boil
ing commences the Qualification, and
Tic dClu ~ contains Is ueutTHllLeO Oy
the addition of dram of elutriated
chalk Ga deposit of mixture of water
and chalk from which the liquid has
been decanted) to each gallon of juice.
The chalk is mixed with the juice, and
soon makes its appearance on the sur
face in the form of thick scum, which
must be carefully removed.
The juice is now boiled to the con-
sistency of 30 to 80 degrees Beaume,
which upon cooling will be found to be
the proper point for a perfect jelly.
Each bushel of fruit will produce from
four to five pounds of jelly. Late fruit
is the most productive. Crab apples
produce the finest jelly, while sour,
ordinary fruit produces the best-look-
ing article. A mixture of all varieties
renders the most satisfactory results
as to flavor and quality-America

set the churn on the stool, pull out
the plug and draw off the buttermilk,
then pour in cold water, agftate slight
ly and draw off the water. In so do
ing use small horsehair sieve to catch
any particles of butter that escape with
the water, and do likewise when draw
ing off. the buttermilk. This greatly
simplifies matters, for the butter can
thus be drained, sailed and partly
worked in the churn, which tends to
produce much better article, other,
conditions being equal. But let those
having a good dash churn try the ex-
pertinent for themselves ere they sink
hard cash in making any venturesome
exchanges, since "a bird in hand is al
ways worth two in the bush."-Fred-
erick o. Sibley, in N. Y. Tribune.

THE OLD DASH CHURN.
How 1T Can he Made to Do Excellent
Service for Ordinary Farm
Purposes.

There is a proper way to employ
almost every implement mentionable,
and dash churn is not to.be excepted.
As ordinarily however, much dis
satisfaction arises in that the butter
is not good or will not keep well, and
as result the churn is soon thrown
aside for swing, barrel or box one.
Now, albeit the dash churn is not
as good as those just mentioned, where
one has an old-fashioned wooden dash
churn that is in good condition it is
hardly advisable in the majority of
cases to incur extra expense by casting
: it aside for one of later date. It can
be made to do excellent service simply
by boring three-fourths-inch hole at
the bottom, as shown in the accom-
panying cut, by which to draw off the
buttermilk and washing water.
This is the way to proceed: When
the butter reaches the granular stage

ROOFING AN ORCHARD.
tcct the Orange Crop from
Frequent FrOsts.

Frost is frequent feature of orange
growing in California anu many devices
for keeping it from harrning the or
chards have been tried from time to
time with only partial success.
During the day the earth and trees
become warm, but as the night cools
the atmosphere the process of radiation
sets in and the heat from the earth and
the trees is carried off, the cold, frosty
atmosphere taking its place. This
warm air must not be allowed to es-
cape. The fact was evident that the
trees must be covered.
A fog would do this effectually, but
fogs cannot be manufacturedsto order.
The idea was conceived by Mr.. Ever
est of covering the orchard with canvas,
which could be rolled up in the morning
and let out at night. One acre was COW
cred in this way and it was found to be
expensive and unsta BILE, as the canvas
would get wet and decay. Then Mr..
Everest thought of covering of leath-
er, and it was tried, was a success and
to-day is an accomplished fact.
A visit to&this ranch would remove
any doubts one might have regarding
the feasibility of the new plan. A dial
set in the ceiling of the house at the
head of the stairs indicates the direc-
tion:of the wind at any time of the
night or day. At another place can be
seen system of electric bells. These
ring when the thermometer has fallen
to a dangerous temperature. The men
are then called up and a process of fir
ing up is commenced. And yet with all
these precautions the frost has often
been too quick.
Now the trees are rooted in with can
vas and laths. Although this shelter
has been used over but Is acres, the en-
tire ranch will be covered as soon as the
work can be done. Last spring the fruit
which was covered matured perfectly,
while that uncovered was more or less
injured.
The operation is perhaps considered
an expensive one, but when the value of
a crop is considered it is infnitesimal.
The cost is about S40O to the acre. It
has been demonstrated that the tenn
perature is some five degrees higher
under cover than outside, with no fire
at all. while with small fire the tenn
perature can be brought up eight de-
grees higher. With this cover the
rancher is absolutely sure of crop
from any citrus orchard.-San Fran
cisco Call.

Spraying Strengthen. Trees.

A writer in the Practical Farmer says
his spraying experiments lead him to
believe that tree kept healthy and Wig
orous by spraying for several years in
succession becomes more robust and
better able to resist attacks of disease.
The idea is reasonable one if it has not
been exactly proven true. There are
many things which we are>reasonably
sure of. but which it would be difficult
to prove by positive evidence. Circum-
stantial evidence, well corroborated by
many witnesses, must be our guide in
such cases.

Controlling Cabbage Worms.

About the ouly method of holding
these troublesome pests in check is to
spray with hot water at temperature
of 1870 degrees or apply pyrethrum pow
der. If the water is placed in the spray
can while boiling hot it will be about
the right temperature by the time it
reaches the cabbage. The pyrethrum
powder may be diluted with six to eight
times its bulk of flower and busted on
with a powder gun or bellows. While
the plants are young kerosene emulsion
can be used.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GIRDL1NG THE GRAPE.
A Process by Which Even Late Va

In northern sections frosts come so
early that even the Concord often fails
to ripen and there is need of process
by which even later varieties of high
quality may be ripened with certainty.
Such process has been found and is
known as girdling or ringing. It con-

Man. Stronrest Are.

In common with all organs of the
body, the muscles have their stages
of Development and decline. Tests
made by the dynamometer strength
measurer) give averages in the eau
casian race as follows: The ''lifting
power" of a youth of II years is $50
pounds; in his twentieth year this in
creases to 800 pounds, and in the thir-
tieth and thirty first years it reaches
its height, $50 pounds. At the end of
the thirty-frst year the strength be-
gins to decline, very slowly at first.
BY the fourth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at a slightly increasing rate
until the fiftieth year is reached, when
the figure is 800 pounds. After this
period the strength fails more and
more rapidly until the weakness of
old age is reached. It is not possible
to give statistics of the decline of
strength after the fiftieth year. as It
varies to large extent in different
