A phenomenon, the cause OF which
has not yet been satisfactory explain
ed, was described at TIE last meeting
OF the British Association. Disks OF
loaf sugar were mounted on a lathe
and rapidly rotated while hammer
played lightly against them. An al
most continuous radiation OF light was
thus produced from the sugar. 1t was
shown that the light did not arise
from heating of the sugar. and it Is
believed to be caused by some change
taking place in the sugar crystals. The
act CT capitalization il known to be
sometimes accompanied by flashes Of
light. The practical bearing of these
experiments is on the question of the
possibility of obtaining artificial ligat
by methods as yet untried.

Watering Horses.

It is not pretended that chemical pur-
ity is necessary in the drinking water
Of horses, but the importance Of its
being reasonably pure, and above all
free from dangerous organic matter or
poisonous minerals, like lead, is SO
universally acknowledged that we may
be excused discussing it here. Excess
sive hardness is also to be avoided, for,
as every experienced stsbleman knows.
hard water disturbs the digestion. in
juriously affects the appearance Of the
coat, and is probably, at least, an ac-
cessory cause in the production of
gravel or cystic calculus, about which
complaints are so common in aged
horses. The coincidence of the pre-
valence of stone in the bladder, where
the water of the district is hard. is at
least worthy of note. although it is
perhaps rarely the active cause. Horses
exhibit decided preference, in COM
mon with other animals, for soft wa
ter, and prefer a drink from a dirty
pond, where the fluid has become soft
ened by exposure to sun and air, to
the brighter and sparkling water COM
ing from springs having their origin
in geological formations, causing it to
be highly charged with lime and mag
nesian salts.
There is certainly a difficulty about
this when stalls are used, and the
water trough has to be placed alongside
the feed manger. Food gets into the
water and water into the food Where,
however, loose boxes are used the wa
ter trous- can be placed in one cor
ner and the manger in another, and
the difficulty disappears. The trough
can also be kept clean where thece is
q feed pipe and waste pipe. but these
costly fittings are not found in ordinary
farm stables. Where the water is
brought to the horse in a bucket the
vessel should be large one, SO that
the he is certain to get enough. and
if there is any doubt it should be re-
Elled. Horses that are allowed a free
supply or that are watered at frequent
intervals drink relatively less than
those receiving water at long Inter-
walls or that get an irregular supply.
When the chance is afforded they make
up for tie deprivation. often with dis
astrous results that tend to get water
a bad name with unthinking men as q
cause of disease.
Unless quite used to . free supply.
the quantity Of water should be limited
or withheld for time when horses are
excessively heated. also when first
stabbed after doing . hard days work
in particularly cold weather. Il must,
however. BE understood that thsee b Z

A Canadian correspondent OF the
Dairy World (Eng.) says:
It may perhaps interest the readers
of the Dairy World to know something
of the beginning of cheese-making in
Canada. The first cooperative cheese
factory was started in Oxford county,
province of Ontario, in 1864. At that
time there was no cheese made in
this country, except by private per-
sons in a very small way. The CO.
operative system was introduced into
Canada from New York state by Har-
vey Harrington, native of the United
States, who decided to cast his lot
with us. From the very beginning
the business seemed to arouse interest
and enthusiasm, though it was not
till several years afterward that a
market was opened for the product in
Great Britain.
In 1867, Just three years after the
first cheese factory was started, there
were 235 factories in operation, no
small increase for so short period.
In 1871 the dominion census showed
that there were 1853; the census of 1881,
7O9, and the census Of 1891. 1855. The
returns for 1898 show that there are
in Canada 2,759 cheese factories. The
average of the output of each fac
tory for 1898 is estimated at $3.50,
which would make the total value OF
the cheese for 1897. $15,SO0.e00. This
is a pretty quick development for 80
years. In the early days there was
some difficulty experienced in opening
up a market in Great Britain. At that
time the English dealer was very much
prejudiced in favor of American cheese
and it was almost forcing few ship
ments upon him that he could be con-
WINGED that anything good in the
shape of cheese could come out Of
Canada. But perseverance and push
carried the day, and now we have
orders for cheese coming to us instead
OF having to beg for them; and instead
of the Americans being our rivals, they
are almost lost sight of, they are so
far in the rear. This seasons trade
will likely show that their exports of
cheese are hardly worth considering
in summing up the cheese situation.
