Most people have doubted their eyes
when at some conjuring performance
they have seen man run needles and
pins through both cheeks, evincing no
pain as he does so. In reality every per
son has hundreds of senseless specks Of
skin all over his body through which he
could run pins. or even cut them out,
without feeling any pain. If some one
else were to do SO when he was blind

the fact Physicians call them dead

sew his cheeks up while another could

readers allow himself to be blindfolded,

Cows Eating straw.

Wherever grain is grown largely and
its straw is stacked in the barnyard
after thrashing cows have great lik-
ing for rubbing themselves against the
stack to rid themselves of the flies that
torment them. says the Boston Guilt
vator. 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 of
ten eat enough of the chaff to lessen
their flow of milk This chaff makes
good winter feed if moistened and grain
meal or bran is mixed with it. Thus
fed, even the straw will not help dry the
COWS off. as it will if fed dry.

Some butter that is made in summer
is often soft or mushy. though. of
course, most of it is solid and of good
grain, says the New York Witness. The
reason why the soft butter is not of the
same quality as the hard is that it is
not made in the same manner, which,
of course. includes the handling of both
the milk and cream. The softness of the
butter is generally due to the tempera
ture being too high, and this is why
soft butter is the rule in most dairies
during the hot months of July and Au-
gust. Perhaps the reasons why the diff
Guilty is not overcome are lack of con-
veniences, pressure of other duties and
in some cases ignorance To overcome
all this keep things cool. Have the
cream at the proper temperature. and
If you cannot secure the means of max
ing it so it would be better to give up
the idea of making butter during the
summer, for it would be a great deal

to impossible to build up any kind of
a business in either butter or cheese.
Churn the cream during the morning
would no doubt be best-at a tempera
ture of about 90 or So degrees. for this
will prevent its becoming mushy. As
soon as the butter comes in little gran
ules about the size of grains of wheat
it is time to stop the churn. Should it
look milky and not float well pour in
sufficient cold water to make it float.
