FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

When milk is to be taken to the
creamery do not mix the milk of the
night and the morning even if it will
save the use of one can.
The milk COW must be kept clean;
the mixers must be clean at milking
time; and the vessels in which the milk
is put must be clean at all times.
Do not aerate the milk in the stable
or in the lee of the stable. The air
in which the milk is aerated must be
pure, else the milk in being aerated
will suffer more harm than the aera-
ton will do good.
Milk for the creamery must be milk
in its proper condition. The farmer
that has permitted his milk to get into
bad shape had better feed it to his
hogs or poultry than attempt to haul
1t to the creamery where it will be
likely to spoil a hundred other patches
Of milk-Farmers' Review.

STORY WITH A LESSON.
How q Tramp's Politeness Was
Awakened by the sight Of .
Model Creamery.

will relate an amusing incident
saw happen in creamery visited a
short time ago, writes G. B! Lawson in
Creamery Journal. The creamery was
as clean and neat as any could be.
There was not speclk of dirt on the
floor or about any of the machinery.
The door opened and a tramp came
in with muddy boots on. It was rainy
at the time. He made one step on the
inside and stopped, as soon as he saw
the condition Of the room, looked at
his muddy feet, took off his hat and
apologized for coming in in such q
hurry with SO much mud on his feet.
If that creamery had been dirty and
grimy, as some are, that tramp would
not have stopped at the door and apol-
ogized, but would have gone in and
gotten the buttermilk he wanted with
out looking at his feet. Brother But
termaker, do you keep your creamery
SO clean that tramp will stop at the
door, take off his hat and offer an
apology for coming in? If not, try
it and see what q difference it will have
on the looks of the place, and also on
the quality of the product made.

Ba.ebnll for n Tomh.+or.

The grave of William A. Hubert. in
Graceland cemetery, is perhaps the only
one in the world which is marked with
tombstone in the shape of baseball.
Mr.. Hubert was the president of the
old National league, and when he died,
in 1882, some of his old associates set
about to show their love and respect
for him, and the result was the monu-
ment in Graceland. The baseball is
made of red granite, about 20 inches in
diameter, showing the seams as they
appear upon one of the balls used in
regulation games. Across the top APP
pears, in raised letters: wv. A. HUI
bert, President National League, p. B.
B. c., 1876, 1882" On one side appear
thenames of four clubs in the old league
Boston, Providence, Worcester, Troy
and on the other those of the other
four-Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, De-
troit. Also there is a headstone of white
marble, upon which appears the name,
together with the date of birth, October
%, 1882, and the date of death, April 10,

Dairy Cows Eating straw.

Wherever grain is grown largely
and its straw is stacked in the barn
yard after threshing, cows have great
liking for rubbing themselves against
the stack to rid themselves of the flies
that torment them. A fence should be
built around the stack to protect it
from being pulled to pieces. Cows will
eat considerable straw, picking at it,
and they will often eat enough of the
chaff to lessen their flow of milk. This
chaff makes good winter feed If mois-
tened and grain meal or bran is mixed
with 1t. Thus fed even the straw will
not help dry the cows off. as it will If
fed dry.--American Cultivator.

Germs in the Fore-Milk.

With regard to the number of germs
present in the fore-milk. Prof. Harrison
found that in the first few strains Of
milk removed from the teats they
varied from $4,000 to $4,000 per cubic
centimeter; while the numbers present
in the remainder of the milk amounted
to only from 800 to 1880 per cubic
centimeter. These figures clearly
demonstrate how important 1t is that
the first few drops of milk from each
teat should be MIXED into a separate
receptacle and. subsequently thrown
away. and should on no account be
mixed with the bulk Of the milk.

Timothy AZ "a a l,alry Feed.

No dairyman, alive to his interests
has any business to feed timothy hay
to his dairy cows. This hay has the
highest market value and about the
poorest feeding value of any hay upon
the market. So let the horseman have
the timothy and the dairyman the
clover and rowen hays. Suppose a
dairyman has produced a lot of timothy
hay upon his own farm: there is no
reason at all why he should feed the
same to his COWS. Better far to sell this
timothy for it's market value as horse
hay and buy clover hay with the pro-
ceeds for the cows. This practice will
result in big saving to any dairyman.

MISTAKES m FREDm0
TAs Nervous Cow Usually Gives the
Nest MILK and Likewise Re.
Qalees the BEST Food.

It is the nervous cow that gives the
greatest amount of good milk. One i'm
clined to go to fat makes IN excellent
beef cow, but o relatively poor mixer.
Al the nervous cow Is apt to be smaller
in proportion than large, fat, beef
making cow, the idea gains some head
way that she requires less food. In
deed. there is tendency in some quar-
ters to reason that cow needs food
in proportion to her size; that is,
large cow requires more than small
one. This is IN error of most pro-
nounced order. It is nervous energy
that absorbs and uses up food, and it
requires more to feed such a nature
than it does one of a phlegmatic dispo-
sition. # anything the opposite to
what Is true in general practice should
be observed. More rich and highly con-
centrated food should be given to the
small milker than to the large beef
maker. The good mixer, if her di-
gestion is good, can change more of
her food into milk than another ami
NAL can convert into beef or fat. A
good deal of this food that is given
to the mixer is converted directly into
milk, and is thus more profitable than
when fed to the beef cattle.
The nervous animals mechanism is
more easily deranged than that of the
heavy beef-making animals. A pillow
horse can stand more abuse than the
high-strung race horse. Many dairy
men do not appreciate this thorough
ly. either in their feeding or caring
for good mich cows. AS the whole
value of the animals products depends
very closely upon the condition of her
digestion, q study should be made con-
stantly of the cows health. In nor
NAL condition she can take a great
amount of food and convert 1t directly
into milk. This food should be given
with the best possible caution, so that
1t will not injure the health of the
animal. Give all to the cow that she
will eat up clean is a good rule to go
by, but if her appetite declines there
is something wrong with her digestion
that needs instant attention. Very fire.
quently this cause is SO simple that one
overlooks it. In a nervous cow sud-
den fright, undue excitement or run
ming in the field, or anything that will
upset the nerves, may cause the flow
of milk to stop temporarily, and upset
the digestion so that the full quantity
of milk will not be given for weeks
1t is to guard against such slight acci-
dents that the dairyman must exer-
else his supervision and authority. His
cows are high strung milking machines
that will easily give out under abuse
or misuse.-C. w. Jones, in American
Cultiyator.

The Boiled Butter business.

One OF the worst and most insidious
enemies of good cream butter is
process or ''boiled" butter. When but
ter becomes so bad and rancid as to be
absolutely worthless for any purpose,
it is melted to its original oil, treated
with alkaloids, freed from volatile oil,
re-crystalized, and then churned with
sour milk to freshen it. This produces
a thoroughly renovated and. it is
claimed wholesome butter with good
body which will easily show butter
fat content Of 80 per cent. From a
standpoint too of chemical analysis, it
cannot be considered adulterated nor
an imitation. The only protection the
producers of good fresh butter have is
to insist that this manufactured prod
uct shall be sold as renovated or boiled
butter.-Journal Of Agriculture.

Only . great outburst Of melody from
the choir prevented . general hysteria,
which was plainly imminent. To the
singing the people kept time with their
feet and their swaying bodies.
1t was hardly conceivable that any
negroes in the city were kept ignorant
of the event, SO thoroughly had the
preachers betrayed the general Scores
of them must have worked all night
to erect the platform and arrange the

huge portrait of Grant, draped and fes-
TONED with flowers, and opposite was
a similarly decorated portrait of Lin
coin. Grant had not spoken q word
from the moment we were fairly sur
rounded by the multitude. Now he
whispered, as he wiped his flushed face:
"l've been in Africa, but I never had
as hot time as this
When Grant arose to speak there was
q renewal of the cries, but the little
pastor and the marshais soon restored
quiet enough for his words to be heard.
He spoke briefly, saying in effect that
the colored people had their future in
their own hands. He urged them to
stick to the Bible and the spelling book
and they were bound to enjoy their full
share of material prosperity. To some,
who evidently expected him to announce
that he had come to consecrate himself
to the restoration of their political

pointing.

THE suNFLowER.
Nymph Clytie, Who Was
Turned Into One.

1nere is 0arQly any VINO cannot
catch a glimpse of the sometimes
saucy, sometimes sad face in the pansy
and heartsease. By just partially clos
ing the eyes one can see many pretty
child faces in the pansy bed. But of a
different class is the face of Clytie 1.-THE
sunflower).
She was water nymph. All the JOY
and brightness of her life, she felt, came
from the glowing sun above, to whom
she looked up in ever-growing wonder
and admiration. And it was but natural
that her admiration should change to
love, for whenever she looked away
from that bright face, to her eyes,
blinded by its brilliancy, the world and
and all things else seemed black and
comfortless.
Used as he was to worship, the heart
less sun god, Apollo, grew tired of see
ing the countenance turned ever to-
ward him. Indeed, so ardently did it
reflect his CLEAN that he seemed to be
held to that one spot with kind of
fascination. Of course that would never
do. Grass and flowers and trees would
soon be so parched and dried that their
very life would wither away.
Still Clytie gazed with burning, pas
sionate eyes into the heart of her god,
but found it empty of all love for her.
Worse than blank it was, for a great
anger toward that charm which held
him transfixed was fast filling it. With
last mighty effort he turned away
with a resolve that he would never
again bless that land with his light.
Nine days Clytie sat on the cold
ground, with her unbound hair stream
ing over her shoulders. Other lovers
wooed her; the gentle breeze kissed her
and sought to turn her thoughts from
her lost love to himself; the dew
dropped quietly beside her and even en-
folded her in his embrace. But there
she sat, tasting neither food nor drink.
She gazed toward the clouded sky in
vain longing. Still as each day dawned
she caught but one glimpse of the sun
before he turned his horses away and
swept on to the west.
Soon her limbs became rooted to the
ground and her streaming hair turned
into petals, flashing out around her
face like the rays of the sun god him
self. Every morning, so they say, this
sunfower turns on it's stem, and Clytie.
sad and somber, looks out from her
golden halo of petals and follows with
mournful eyes the course of Apollo's
chariot.-Chicago Record.
