The following appears In the Rural
New Yorker:
We would like to know to what e1.
tent the laws regarding trespassing OF
live stock apply to poultry. Is 1t nee
essary for man to keep his poultry
fenced in order to protect his neigh.
boris property? II his hens run over
the line and scratch in the neighbor's
garden, has he the same redress be
would have in case larger animal did
the mischief"
Any direct interference with the
person, land, inclose, or property OF
another by person, his stock, or his
poultry, Is trespass. A single tres
pass by poultry upon a neighbours gar
den or inclose would scarcely consti-
tue trespass; yet everything in which
the law recognizes property may be
the subject of trespass, and the COM
mon and statutory law makes no ex-
ceptfon of poultry. Therefore. what
ever provisions of the law apply to the
trespassing OF live stock, will also ap-
ply to poultry. Wherever there is a

for great variety of injuries. either
to person or property. The measure
of damages is usually the actual value
of the property destroyed double and
triple damages are allowed in some
state by statute); such damages are
intended as a compensation to the
damaged party for the injury done. A
wrongdoer Is responsible for the con-
sequences which flow Immediately
from his wrongful or negligent acts.
and the responsibility is not relieved
by the fact that the consequences of
the injurious act could have been pre-
vented by the care or skill of the in

Few OF US there are who have never

those few are rather TO be pitied than,

is a sign of gentlemind, aud indi-
Gates the possession OF a love OF home
and country which is the Characteristic
OF civilized and normal man. This
mild form. fortunately. is the only
kind that most OF us have experienced,
for when the severe form takes posses

death. This severe form, usually
called nostalgia. has grown less COM

except in the case OF this very young

OF this extreme form OF homesickness
is almost always resoureeless per-
son, one whose life Is routine OF
triyIalities, whose ideas are few and
limited, and such as they are. based
upon familiar objects and well-known
associates. When such person Is
placed In new surroundings no new
ideas are created, but there Is a gnaw-

really is, broods over what he has lost,
rejects what Is offered in place OF IL.

The Dairy Thermometer.

One of the most difficult things to
control in making butter on the farm
during the hot months is the tenn
perature, says Colman's Rural World
Few farmers have ice and many no
facilities for cooling the milk and
cream with water. The woman's in
genuity is taxed and SO the solution,
too many times, is to hang the cream
pail in the well, which, in the majority
OF cases, Is tin one, and the expert
butter-makers never ripen cream In
q vessel made Of tin. But a pail of
other material is too heavy to trust
the cream in when hanging In the we'll.
During the winter the farmers wife
can get the cream cold enough, and
she can easily warm the cream IL she
knows just how much to increase the
temperature. The one article needed
for this is a dairy thermometer. Do
not churn again without one. The cost
Is only trifie, but the saving of worry
Is immense. Before We learned its use
and value we were under constant
strain, lest we would have the butter
come mass of white grease or wheth-
er we would be two hours churning.
Test with the thermometer the tenn
perature of the cream, If too cold. set
the cream jar in vessel of hot water
and stir the cream occasionally to have
that in the center OF the Jar of the
same temperature as that next to the
sides. If the room in which the churn-
Ing Is done is very warm then the
cream ought not to be too warm. II
your hardware merchant does not keen
dairy thermometers, he can easily or
der one for you. When once their
real value Is known, churning will
never be done without the use of one.
Don't call this new tangled" notion.
Get one. use 1T and then report as to
Us value.

Sea crabs in the shedding condition
are now drifting ashore by thousands
on the Jersey coast. They are Of the
variety known to the trade as rock
crabs. They differ materially In ap-
pearance from the well-known blue
crab, as shown by the cut. and they
possess the popularity OF shedding
their shells In winter and reach the
stage which. considering the time of
year. makes them fair substitute for
the famous summer soft crabs about
the middle OF December, and continue
to be supply for couple OF months
thereafter. Shedding renders all crus-
tacea weak, and the winter sheddsrs
are subject to the effe It's OF the storms
which prevail in the season OF their
semi-helplessness. so that they are
easily cast upon the beaches by a
tempest such as that which recently
caused disaster to nearly everything
exposed to its fury. Those obtained,
however, do not constitute the supply
the hsh dealers rely upon TO fill the
demand for them. The rock or red
crab. or, as science puts 1t. cancer
produetus, is found all along the At

northern points, but the chief attention
to placing them on the market in the
most desirable condition Is given by
few fishermen on Gravesend bay.
those men in the autumn set traps
especially designed for their capture,
In which the crabs are taken long be-
fore the shedding period and then
placed in perforated cars sunk In the
bay, and in which they are fed until
the time for casting their shells ar
rives- The cars are then lifted twice
each day, or oftener. as circumstances
require, and the crabs which have cast
their shells are removed for market.
The sort of crab under consideration
is used chiefly at hotels aud club
houses, where they are served as an
expensive luxury. The general run

their existence. excepting In seeing
some OF their shells ON the beach when

New York market during their season
and OF those some of the places at
which they are served take 25 to IS

Teaching the Calf to Drink.

1t is curious what a lot of tommy
rot one reads upon the subject OF
teaching calves to drink, says National
Stockman. The latest thing, 1 have
forgotten Just where | read 1t. said
that the fingers should be wet with
milk and held out to the calf. and
when he got smell of the milk he
would suck the fingers, and then he
was to be gradually led to the bucket
by means of the fingers and the fingers
then withdrawn and he would learn to
drink; but on no account must he be
held. / tried this plan on the last calf
we had to see just what the calf would
do. 1t smelt OF my fingers wet with
milk and walked over to the other side
OF the stall. And then In spite of all
the coaxing | could do he stafd there
until l went back to the good old
fashioned way and got astride It and
damned its head into the pail of milk
with my fingers In its mouth. 1t snort
ed little, but soon came to terms and
finished the milk in short order. And
in one more lesson it had learned to
drink without aid or assistance from
me. There is one point to keep we'll
in mind. and that is not to lose your
temper. Don't get mad. 1t does not
do the least bit of good In the world
whether the object of your anger ia
horse, cow. hired man or worst of All

The Manhattan cheese factory has
been having trouble from gas and foul
odor in Its cheese curd, writes d. H. o.
In Kansas Farmer. The gas would not
only push the curd out of the press.
but would leave 1t fun Of holes. These
holes are caused by the presence of
gas, which In turn Is produced by the
action of certain bacteria.
The Farm department of the Agri-
cultural College was asked to investi-
gate the trouble and If possible dis
cover its source. A small sample Of
each patrons milk was placed in q
tumbler and subjected to the Wiscon-
sin curd test This consists In heating
the milk up to SO degrees F., adding
about ten drops of rennet extract to
each sample, cutting up the curd with
knife to leave the whey out, and
then allowing the curd to ferment from
six to twelve hours. Examination OF
these small curds. revealed the fact
that contained these gas producing
germs in very considerable quantity.
Another curd contained but little gas
but had very foul odor; in fact. was
nlthy. When the milk of these pat
rons was refused the gas ceased to be
produced in the cheese.
While testing the milk for gas, an
other test was made by heating sam
pie of each patrons milk up to 11o de-
grees f.. to see the character of the
odor given on Two samples had
er,H Ill lsnn 10 a
presence of animal odor and from the
milk absorbing odors from filthy sur
roundings One OF these had a gassy
curd in the previous test Two other
samples had little peculiar odor that
1t was thought, might be due to the
cows eating some objectionable plant,
as Usage orange or rag-weed. Both
of the above tests show very clearly
the need Of more care in handling OF
milk. Animal odor can be removed
by aerating the milk soon after milk
Ing, while it is still warm. and filthy
surroundings should not be tolerated
under any circumstances
Gas-producing germs are rather
common, and 1t is sometimes difficult
TO say Just how they obtain entrance
to the milk. Two Of the most common
sources of infection are from the cows
drinking water from stagnant ponds
or creeks, and from fermenting matter
IN the stable. The presence of these
germs cannot be readily detected In
the milk. 1t often happens that they
are not noticed until the curd is ready
to go to press. or even after it is put to
press. Their presence is first observed
by the curd having an appearance as il
1t had been finely-punctured with a
pin. II the fermentation goes on 1t
may cause the cheese to smell or
huff and this fermentation may be
so energetic as to cause the cheese to
crack, due to the pressure Of the en-
closed gas. On account of the difficulty
of detection and Of the injurious effects
of these germs, it should be the duty
of every patron to inspect his premises
and remove every source of infection,
whether 1t be the water, the feed, or
the surroundings.
