There is a South Side lady who owns
a Gordon setter which she believes is
endowed with almost human intelli-
gence This is not hastily formed nor
unfounded opinion, but has been devel-
oped by years of experience. Here is
one Of the many incidents from which
has sprung her faith in her dog:
Last Sunday. having finished her
dinner, the lady went into the drawing
room to read the paper. On rug near
the window the setter was basking
drowsily in the sun The lady's two
sons were still in the dining room fin
ishing the repast, and the mother over
heard something said about bones.
Now, the good lady has mortal dread
that her beautiful dog will choke to
death on bone some day, SO, raising
her voice, she called out;
"Boys, don't give Dan any chick
en- bones, spelling these two words
SO the dogs attention would not be at
tracted. Il am afraid he will choke. .
AS she spelled ''chicken" the dog
raised his head and listened; at "bones"
he got up, walked into the dining room
and looked at the bones the boys were
picking. Chicago News,

Tired Eyes.

A correspondent of Popular Science
News tells of party Of Alpine climb
ers who, having spent five hours among
the SHOWS Of the mountains, returned
to their homes after dark. A great
change had to all appearance taken
place since the night before. Instead of
being illuminated in the usual way,
the place was supplied with green
lights.
It took the travellers a little time to
realize that they were suffering from
Daltonism. or color blindness, superin-
duced by eye fatigue. The intense light
caused by the sun shining upon the
snow had for the time rendered them
unable to judge Of colors and given rise
to their curious mistake. Three hours
elapsed before the eyes regained their
normal condition.
Che7reul explains that the eye can
not gaze long upon given color with
out tending to become insensible to it.
When the eye looks long upon color,
it should be rested by the complement
tary color. Thus an eye that has grown
tired with green should be rested by
red, which is green's complementary
color.

OdOrs In MILK.

The statement made by Professor
Russell Of the Wisconsin experiment
station that he had put warm milk in
the vicinity of several substances hav-
ing strong odors and that at blood heat
it absorbed any odors more rapidly than
did cold milk is Of itself a sufficient
reason for removing the milk from the
stable as soon as the milking is COM
pleted for each cow and putting it
where it will be in pure air or taking
it at once to the dairy room. But it
shows quite as strongly the need of hav-
ing pure air free from bad odors in the
stables while the milking is being done.
The stream as it passes from the teat
exposes much Of its surface to the air,
and it is ready, even in that short
pass from teat to pail, to pick up all
the odors, bacterial germs and dust
with which it comes in contact.

A Good Trick.

Of hand performer who kept parrot
that he had trained to say, whenever
one Of his master tricks had been fin
ished: "That' S a good trick! What's the

One day the juggler, being in sea-
port town, gave his performance in a
loft on one of the wharfs, which hap
pened to be just over the place where a
large quantity of powder was stored in
kegs The juggler was about to perform
some feat which required the lighting
Of candle. He lighted it and threw
the match away without making sure
that the blaze had gone out. The match,
still burning, fell through a crack in
the floor, and dropped into one Of the
kegs of powder, which exploded with
great force. throwing the building into

The parrot, who was blown up with

Proved His Theory, but Died.

The acme of realism was reached,
though by accident, in a criminal trial
a few years ago at Lebanon, O.
Two men had a personal encounter.
One Of them, after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket,
turned to fee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small Of the back. One
chamber of his pistol was found to have
been fired. His assailant was tried for
murder.
The defense contended that the man
had shot himself while trying to draw
his pistol, which had become entangled
in the lining Of the pocket, and that the
prisoners shot had not taken effect
The prosecution contended that such a
wound could not have been self inflicted
The defendants counsel, Clement L.
VaIlandigham. undertook to demon
strate to the jury just how the dead
mans pistol had hung in the pocket and
just how possible it was to infiict such
wound. Suddenly there was a loud
report. and the lawyer sank to the floor.
The ball had entered the back almost in
the identical spot where the dead man
had been shot.
The defendant was acquitted. Mr.
Valandi9ham died. - Cleveland Plain

Waste In the Dairy.

The Agricultural Epitomist says
There are II, 600, 600 COWS in the cOun-
try, 1000, 600 Of which are being used
for butter production, 5000, 600 for the
production Of milk for sale and 1000,
600 for the production Of cheese. The
average production Of the butter cows
is distressingly small, only 1875 pounds
a year Their aggregate production is
1875, 900, 600 pounds. The average an
nual yield of cheese per COW is $50
pounds and the aggregate yield is 28O, :
600, 600 pounds. The 5000, 600 Of cows
that are used for producing milk for
sale yield 1, $50, 900, 900 gallons per year
or an average Of $50 gallons. These fig
ures show a tremendous waste in dairy
management They show that there are
probably millions of COWS that do not
pay for the food they consume and the
care given them and their products.
The COW should give from $50 to 600
gallons Of milk year and should pro-
duce twice as much butter as the above
figures indicate. In a word, $500, 900
COWS ought to do-and would do if they
were the right kind of COWS and were
intelligently handled-what the H.
900, 600 are now doing.

improved Butter.

A farmer in Manchester, Me-, who
has heretofore been known as fruit
grower, has now gone into the dairy
business. He has obtained herd of 10
fine COWS, purchased land to increase his
hay crop up to 1875 tons a year or more,
built new stables and bought separa-
tor and other first class machinery and
dairy utensils. He has set his mind
upon producing gilt edged butter such
as will command 40 cents pound or
more Finding that at the dairy con-
vention at Portland this winter his but
ter scored but "a points, being six
points off in flavor, he thought he had
got something to learn, but he learned
q few things at the meeting and the
next week took another sample to the
New Hampshire dairy meeting. This
scored 81 points by the same expert. Ee
spent considerable time with the expert
judge at Portland, noting defects Of va
riOus samples, and learned the cause Of
them, and it was the instruction which
he thus received which helped him to
gain the three points in flavor. He is

points in his score OF become satisfied
that no one can make that almost i'm
possible thing, an article absolutely per
feet. The pains that he has taken so far
lead us to hope that he will continue
to improve until he reaches the highest
standard and is reasonably sure that he
can do it every time. He has shown
that he deserves success and we hold
him up as an example for others to take
pattern by. It is not the good machin-
cry that he has, nor even his carefully
selected herd Of COWS, that will keep
him improving, but his desire to learn
and determination to practice the best
methods. The COWS and the machines
are all important, but one may have the
best Of both and yet produce poor ar

PASTEURIZING SKiMMlLk.
Not Only Keeping Qualities, but
Feeding Qualities, Considered.


Feeding Qualities, Considered.
Skimmilk, as it is received from a
majority of the creameries and as it is
handled after it gets to the farm, says
Hoard Dairyman, is in many instances
very distressing to the digestion of
young animals, especially calves Of ten
der age. 1t is this fact which has given
such an impetus to the idea of farm
separators and the cream taken to the
creamery instead Of the milk. We be-
lieve this matter is of the utmost i'm
portance to the creamery interest, be-
cause it is of such great interest to the
patron. Every well managed creamery
will guard the patrons interest all 1t
can. On this question of the greater
keeping and consequent feeding value
Of the pasteurized skimmilk the follow
ing conclusions from the fifteenth an
nual report of the Wisconsin expert
ment station may be of interest: ~
Of two lots of skimmilk taken from
the separator at the same time the one
pasteurized kept sweet from 10 to "a
hours longer than the unpasteurized.
It was found that the attempt to use
the exhaust steam from the creamery
boiler was no more economical than
direct or live steam, and the latter is
often more efficient.
It is absolutely necessary in all cases
that the milk be at once cooled down to
normal temperature as fast as it leaves
the pasteurizer.
The machine can be cleaned easily,
and by using very little care in turn
ing off the heat when the supply Of milk
stops the milk does not burn on the
hot tin.
The greatest annoyance was the foam
which rises Oh the pasteurized skim
milk, especially in hot weather, when
such treatment is most needed The
milk residue left from this foam is
very hard to clean from the tanks or
floor, as it sticks very tenaciously when
the air escapes from the foam.
