Aluminium CLOCK Hands.

'One OF the finest and lightest ma
terials that are now largely used for
making clock hands is aluminium"
said leading clock manufacturer re-
Gently. Until recently the pointers
of big clocks. when not made of wood,
were composed of two thin strips of
copper, which were capped or hollow
ed and then brought together, edge to
edge, with the rounded sides out, thus
giving strength as well as lightness.
The aluminium clock pointers are
made just in the same way as the
copper ones, but they possess the mer-
it of being twice as light and are far
easier to balance.
at isn't unusual on large clocks to
see projecting from the base of the
long pointer and In line with it a rod
with a ball at the end. this rod be
ing perhaps third as long as the big
pointer. This rod and ball act as a
counterweight for the big pointer,
which, without a counterweight, would
in its movement around the dial bear
unevenly upon the arbor or shaft which
carries it. On great clocks and often
on big timepieces indoors this counter
poise is placed inside the dial out of
sight on the arbor.
1.-THE heavier the pointer the greater
the weight required in the counter
poise; the greater the weight the more
friction on the arbor, and the more
friction the greater the power requir-
ed to drive the clock. By the use of
aluminium pointers these drawbacks
are reduced to a minimum Wash

NERVES AND fooD.
Nervous Cows Give the Greatest
Amount of Good MiIk.

Nervous Cows Give the Greatest
Amount of Good NiIIo.
1t is the nervous COW that gives the
greatest amount of good milk, says G..
w. Jones in the Boston Cultivator.
One inclined to go to fat makes an ex-
cellent beef COW, but a relatively poor
mixer. AS the nervous COW is apt to
be smaller in proportion than large
fat, beef making COW, the idea gains
some Roadway that she requires less
food. Indeed, there is a tendency in
some quarters to reason that a COW
needs food in proportion to her size
that Is, a large S5w requires more
than small one. This is an error of
a most pronounced order. 1t is nervous
energy that absorbs and uses up food,
and it requires more to feed such a ma
ture than it does one of a phlegmatic
disposition. II anything the opposite
to what Is true in general practice
should be observed. More rich and
highly concentrated food should be
given to the small mixer than to the
large beef maker. The good mixer, if
her digestion 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 animal A plow
horse can stand more abuse than the
high strung race horse. Many dairy
men do not appreciate this thoroughly
either In their feeding or caring for
good milk COWS. As the whole value
of the animals products depends very
closely upon the condition of her diges-
ton a study should be made constantly
of the cows health. In a normal con
dition she can take great amount of
food and convert it directly into milk.
This food should be given with the
best possible caution, so that it will not
injure the health of the animal Give
all TO the COW that she will eat up
clean is good rule to go by, but if her
appetite declines there is something
wrong with her digestion that needs
instant attention. Very frequently this
cause is so simple that one overlooks
1t. In a nervous COW a sudden fright,
undue excitement or running in the
field or anything that will upset the
nerves may cause the flow of milk to
stop temporarily and upset the diges-
ton so that the full quantity of milk
will not be given for weeks. 1t is to
guard against such slight accidents
that the dairyman must exercise his
supervision and authority. Ills cows
are high strung milking machines that
easily give out under abuse or misuse.

RiDeuing Cheese.


The results of some valuable expert
ments on the above subject are report
ed by Professor Dean in the twenty
fourth annual report of the Ontario
Agricultural college. Details of how
the experiments were conducted need
not here be given. but the following
are the conclusions which were arrived
at by the experimenters:
The cheese lost considerably more
during one months curing when kept
at a comparatively high temperature.
This was true for each month during
the experiments. and also for the sea-
son. The average per cent of shrinkage
during the season for one month in
cheese weighing about 80 pounds,
cured at 60 degrees F.. was $40 per
cent, cheese cured at 66 degrees F.
lost 3.S5 per cent in weight and cheese
cured at 60 degrees F. lost 431 per
cent.
The quality of the cheese was very
much better by curing at 60 degrees f.
The average score for the season for
cheese made in the college dairy was
nearly three points in favor of cheese
cured at GO degrees f.. as compared
with similar cheese (from the same
Vat) cured at 66 degrees f., and five
points higher compared with those
cured at 60 degrees f. The differ
ence was more marked still in Sep
TENDER and October cheese. The flavor
was very much better in the cheese
cured at 60 degrees f.. and the texture
was marked Improvement Cheese
cured at high temperature goes off in
flavor quickly and has a sandy or
mealy texture. The cheese made in
October and cured at 60 degrees F.
was considered to be worth from one
half to 1 cent per pound more than
similar cheese cured at 30 to 70 de-
grees f. Cheese cured at the lower
temperature has a very much better
keeping quality.
