Eating Away stone Walls.

At first sight it would seem hardly
possible for bacteria to be concerned
In the breaking down of a stone wall,
yet this is the case. according to OBJ
servations made in studying the cause
Of the decay of cement. The gradual
disintegration of the cement mortar
used in water supply reservoirs is one
OF the serious troubles met with by
water engineers and a trouble which
SO far they have not been able to avoid
with any measure of practical success.
Hitherto this action was supposed to
be the result OF the solvent property OF
carbonic acid and other mineral sub
stances commonly present in a water
supply. The cement gradually disin-
tegrates and becomes a kind of mud
which slowly detaches itself But now
1t has been found this strange process
Is due to the action of none other than
that bacterium known as the nutrify-
ing organism An examination of the
mud shows it to be teeming with these
organisms

GRANULAR BUTTER.
How to Produce an Article That VIII
Keep Well Cor q Considerable
Length Of Time.

The following method is employed for
making butter which it is desired to
keep for considerable time. When the
butter has reached the granular condi-
ton in churning, that is, when the par
ticles are about the size of barley
grains, the buttermilk is drawn off and
ice-cold water added. The butter is
then washed with cold water and re-
moved from the churn to stone jar
without packing or MASKING the grains.
The jar is then filled with brine. This
brine will soon dissolve some of the
casino in the butter and so acquire q
cloudy aspect. A change of brine will
leave the second solution clear on the
butter. A plate should be used to cover
the butter, allowing the brine to come
up over it. The brine, of course, inter-
mingles freely about each granule of
butter throughout the mass. which will
preserve for weeks in this way. 1t can
be taken out any time and worked into
rolls or prints. If too salty it may be
washed out with clear WATERBURY E..

PLAIN COMMON SENSE
Really Nsthiag Else 10 Required to
Raise Healthy Calves UadeF
Ordinary Conditions.

In all my experience never lost but
one young calf while it was sucking its
dam. That was many years ago when
Hungarian grass first put in an appear
ance with us, and the hay fed to the
cow killed the. calf. writes contribu-
tor to Homestead. The milk caked in
the Calls stomach. My experience has
always been to restrict the feed of the
cow for two or three weeks before
calving. and If this is properly done
think there will, as rule, be no scours
in the calf. The fatter the cow the
more care is necessary. have had
cows come in that were fit for the
butchers block, and have allowed the
calves to take all the milk they would,
and this, too, without harm to them.
When the COW is not on grass feed
hay, and not too much, with no grain
whatever for at least week before
calving. also give q little wheat bran
every other day for the sake of its
regulating effect. Let the COW get a
little hungry at this time, and it will
not hurt her, while it will benefit the
calf. This way of feeding with me has
always got the cow and her milk in
such a condition that the calf can have
all it wants of it, and only take away
what is left. Sometimes the calf may
be a little constipated, and when this
is SO feed more bran and all will come
right. With me the question has not
been SO much the quantity as the quail
ity of milk that makes the healthy
calf. invariably leave the cow and
calf together for the first week or two.
During the month of May the COW
should be on the grass, but as calving
time draws near she should be in the
stable at night. In June, when the
grass should be at its best, look out for
milk fever. If you have lot where
the grass is short and not too plenti-
full, that is the best place for her. The
main idea that I would impress is
when the COW is fat and has been
fed high for about three weeks before
calving. the rich feed must be taken
away or scours in the calf will follow.
You may think it an epidemic or call
it what you will, but am satisfied this
is the cause that kills many calf and
what will kill one will kill more. think
the idea here advanced applies to horses.
and hogs as we'll. AS to the sheep,
know nothing about them.

CLEAN MILKING PAYS.
Interesting Experiments Conducted
by Prof. d. H. Otis, Mt the Kan.
sas State Station.

It is well-known fact that cows not
MIXED clean will tend to dry up in short
order. Another important reason for
milking clean is to get all of the butter
fat, which is contained in much larger
per cent. in the last than in the first
milk drawn, as is shown by the follow
ing experiment. The college dairy has
conducted an experiment showing the
Importance of clean milking. Five
COWS were selected and their milk col
lected in half-pint bottles, each teat
contributing its share to every bottle.
These: samples were tested with the
Babcock test, with the following re-
suits:s ..:sRf:..:35
:3i Cow No. 6 varied from 6 of one per
cent. to 7.2 per cent.
Cow No. 40. varied from 2 of one per
cent. to &C per cent.
Cow No. IA varied from 1.6 per cent.
to 5.s per cent.
Cow No. Is varied from LIS per cent.
to 6.S per cent.
Cow No. 90 varied from 8 Of one per
cent. to rs per cent.
The results show gradual, although
not. entirely uniform, increase in the
per cent: Of. fat from the beginning to
the last Of the. milking, except with the
last two samples drawn from each COW.
Here the per cent. of fat would take q
sudden leap, amounting often to third
or a half of the total variation. This
shows very clearly how important it is
to get all the milk. BY averaging the
results it was found that the last quar-
ter: of pint was worth from three
fourths to ~ pints of milk first drawn
from the udder. Moral: Milk clean
and get fat.-D. H. Otis, Kansas Expert

Immense Ear Of Corn.

What is believed to be the biggest
corn ever grown, in this part of the
country at least, is on exhibition in a
grain Office at Atkinson, Kan. One ear
is 1917 inches long, and another meas
ures exactly ten inches in circumfer-
ence. Another ear is 141a inches long.
The corn was grown on the farm of
George Liebig, of Wetmore, Kan. Many
samples Of corn from northern Kansas
are coming in. and last years big ears
still on display are mere dwarfs by COM
parison to the new crop. The late corn
is maturing. and reports of enormous

Lonceyity of Pone Leo.

Leo XIII. bids fair to be the oldest of
the popes. The scars of the operation
performed by DIR. Mazzoni on the aged
pontiff are said to have thoroughly dis
appeared. Some time ago, when the
physicians removed the last bandages,
the pope said, jokingly, to his doctor:
Now, DR.. Mazzoni, how many years of
life can you promise me?" 81 believe,
confidently" replied the physician,
''that your holiness will live to be over
hundred" ''No, no." answered the
pope, 'you are stretching my years a
little too far" The doctor may prove q
true prophet, as Leo XIII. exhibits
signs of most extraordinary mental
vigor and his memory seems absolutely
unimpaired.-Chicago Times-Herald.
