Legal Regulation of Milk.

Some stringent regulations concern
ing milk have lately been made by the
Boston board of health. 1t is required
that no milk shall be sold or distributed
in that city unless the cows from which
it is derived have within one year been
examined by competent officer and
found to be free from diseases danger
Gus to public health, though this does
not apply to milk from cows not tested
with tuberculin. Milk kept for sale in
any store, market, shop, restaurant,
bakery or other establishment shall al
ways be kept in a covered cooler, box
or refrigerator. properly drained and
cared for, and while therein shall be
kept tightly closed and only in such To-
cation and under such conditions as
shall be approved by the board of health;
further, all cans, bottles or other vessels
of any sort used in the retail trade are
to be cleaned or sterilized before being
again used for the same purpose, and
no person shall be allowed to use in any
way milk vessel for any other SUBJ
stance than milk. All apparatus and
utensils must be washed with boiling
water or sterilized by steam.

Keep 81 Record.

A New York farmer who has kept a
record of the product of his dairy for
three years past, weighing each days
milk aud testing it twice a month Or
oftener, says writer in Hoard's Dairy
man, reports that last year the product
of ,13 grade Jersey COWS was 4, 557
pounds of butter, which, at 30 cents
pound, gave an income of $911.40, Or
a fraction over $40 per COW. The best
cow, 8 years old, produced 474 pounds
of butter, worth $94.S0. Three others
produced over 400 pounds each, three
others over 375 pounds, four between
800 and $50 pounds each, one 800
pounds and one 2-year-old only 1877
pounds. The ten best averaged $40
pounds each, or over $75 worth per
cow. One 2yearold made a record of
377 pounds and one 3year-old made
Ala pounds. These are good heifers to
keep, but if the two that produced less
than 275 pounds do not soon get into
the hands of the butcher or some one
else we shall think it strange. By vir
tue of keeping record on those cows
the owner had the chance to discrimi-
nate intelligently when he disposed of
any of his COWS. A great many farmers
believe that they know well enough
which are the poor COWS in their herd
without going to the trouble of keeping
record which, after all, is very little

An interesting volume, "With Pal
cite In Eastern Palaces" by E. M
Merrick. tells amusing stories of many
climes. Of the western world was a
modern Mrs. Malaprop, pretty, amiable
and rich, who sat to the author for her
portrait ''She told me-" he says,
"that her husband 'hobnobbed' with
everybody and told such cotton wool
(cock and bully stories; that a girl she
knew was training to be an 'archdea-
con- (deaconess); that she was obliged
to part with her coachman because he
was such gay Othello;' that she had
india rubber tiles put on the wheels
of her carriage; that man she knew
was a regular 'marmoset' (martinet)
in his own house, and a certain title
always descended from uncle to nephew
as they invariably died childish. ,"
Among the numerous celebrities
whom Miss Merrick met in India was
Lord Roberts, whose antipathy to cats
gave rise to a little story Of metempsy-
chests On one of his homeward voyages
Lord Roberts "asked to have the cat re-
moved when he came on board ship
and stranger, not knowing who he
was, said to Lady Roberts, Don you
think that little gentleman over there
must have been mouse in q former
state?' "-Household Words

Cure For warty Udders.

I notice that in your last issue a
querist signing himself "Drogheda"
asks for your advice with regard to the
removal of large, rough warts from the
teats of one of his COWS. The remedy
which you prescribe-dressing with
lunar caustic-will undoubtedly effect
the desired object. But if you will al
low me to say so I think your CORE
spondent will find it an improvement
upon the plan which you recommend
if, after smearing his fingers with cas-
tor oil, he draws the warted teats gen
tly every day for few weeks and then
rubs the udder with little of the oil,
so that it will run down along the
teats. In this way he will find that the
warts can be completely got rid of with
out any burning of the teats or any
pain to the cow. No one who has not
tried it can form an idea of the effect
which castor oil has when externally
applied on the mammary glands and
the teats.- Farmers Gazette. Ireland.

Worlds Largest Creamery.

1.-THE saying When the cows come
home means something to Obadiah
Sands of illinois,, said citizen of
that state. ''It requires the coming
home of 10000 COWS to supply the
milk with which he makes his annual
output of butter. He made and sold
1000, 600 pounds of butter last year
and received SO, 500, 600 for it. OF
course he didn't stand and agitate the
churn dasher that thrashed all that but
ter out, but the employees of the 100
creameries that he owns and controls
managed TO churn it. Obadiah Sands is
the largest butter producer in the world,
and IL years ago he began with one
small creamery. Now itrequires 90 car
loads, or more than 600 tons, of salt to
salt the butter he turns out every year
and 5000 farms to support the cows
that furnish the milk Obadiah Sands

Corn For Cows.

Corn alone, even when at it's best, is
not a perfect ration for milk cows
But corn nearly ripe or cut while in
the milky stage Of the grain is best. In
sweet corn this milky stage lasts longer
especially with the large cared and
large stalked late varieties The stalks
of sweet corn are also better, because,
generally, much sweeter than stalks of
other corn at the same stage of growth.
1t is true some grain will be needed to
balance this extra carbonaceous nutri-
tion, but we believe it good policy to
make the ensilage as good as possible
Sweet corn has the habit of producing
two or more ears of corn per stalk, and
it will probably produce more grain as
we'll as sweeter and richer stalk when
planted thickly than will any other va
riety. Besides, the weight of the large
varieties of sweet corn, aside from it's
superior quality, makes these profitable
kinds to grow for putting into the, silo.
When preparing fodder for the silo to
make milk in winter, it is the interest
of the farmer to put the best material
he can in it, SO as to make sure Of the
best results. Boston Cultivator.

what the Bishop Thought.

Sometimes profanity is profane, and
then there are deliverances of that sort
that do not sound profane. 1t depends
a good deal upon the lips whence the
words flow. Not long ago bishop of
the Episcopal church from a northern
state-a cleric with we'll developed
seEse Of humor-made flying visit to
Washington, stopping at the home here
of gentleman who used to be one of
his parisLioners. This gentleman is adj
dicted to sulphuric speech. He has
prayerfully resisted for many years his
natural impulse to wither up the air
upon the slightest occasion, but cuss he
will, and he can't help it. One day,
while the bishop was at his house, the
host found that something had gone
wrong in his stable, and he let out on
the coachman in his customary lurid
style. After he had singed the atmos-
phere in the neighborhood of the stable
for five minutes he started back for the
house, and he was somewhat chagrined
to see the bishop standing in the yard,
looking at some flower beds. The gen.
tleman knew that the bishop had heard
him.
II know it isn't right" he explain
ed to the bishop, "but you know me,
and you know that I call spade a
spade.

a quizzical smile. "Now, I should have
thought that you'd call it - SHOW

for convenience in handling. Have a
false, perforated bottom, to which are
attached three legs, each one inch long.
This is to be slightly smaller in circum-

terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed, wasn't properly

This is not an uncommon case. Dys-
peptics don't get enough nourishment.
They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough Much of what they eat
turns into poison. If this keeps on there
is no telling what disease they may get
next.
That is why it is best to take Shaker

of indigestion appear.

Bathing an Elephant.

If there is one thing which an ele-
plant enjoys above all things else, it is
his bath. In India elephants are used
to draw the great guns of the heavy
batteries. They take their baths in the
barracks, at the troughs where they
drink, and they behave much better
about it than many children. They
have to lie down and be patient while
they are washed by their attendants.
They turn themselves about very
promptly to suit their convenience.
The attendant rubs the hide with a
piece of stone instead of sponge, and
if the stone slips out Of his hand the
elephant politely picks it up with his

COMBINED CHURNS.
Foluss In Favor of the New Fashions
ed Machine.

The Creamery Journal says that no
other machine designed for creamery
work has had to encounter so much op-
position as the combined churn. That
it has gained standing in the face of
80 determined and SO long continued
opposition is evidence Of intrinsic merit
Part of this opposition is due to mis-
conception of facts, part to prejudice,
part to education and part to personal
preference for methods not possible with
the combined churn.
With the box churn and table worker
the butter is constantly before the eye
in working, and there is chance for
expert work by an expert butter maker.
In the combined churn it is automatic
al, mechanical and the finer instincts Of
the butter maker are not SO much called
into exercise. On the table worker the
butter shows for itself to the trained
eye when it reaches the finishing point.
Besides this, the sailing is not done
by guesswork, but by rule, and the
operator knows to certainty whether
the prescribed quantity of salt is added.
Weighing the butter and the salt and
working on a table worker will not in
sure a uniform quantity of salt in the
finished butter. This has been proved
by analysis of the butter. Part of the
salt is always worked out and part al
ways stays in the butter, and the pro-
portion remaining is not constant. 1t
depends upon the temperature of the
butter, the temperature of churning,
the size of the butter granules, the con-
dition of the salt. etc. Some days the
unworked butter will contain much
more moisture than the butter from
other churnings, and. although the but
ter maker may weigh exactly and use
the same rate of sailing every day, the
finished butter will vary in amount OF
salt.
Mistakes in sailing are found in table
worked butter the same as In butter
from the combined churn. If the salt is
added according to the amount Of milk
separated as good success can be Sc
cured as when the butter is weighed
and the salt added by weight of butter.
In both cases, when the fresh butter is
dry, less salt should be added than
when it comes moister.
The combined churn has merits which
commend it highly. 1t saves work. 1t
saves exposure to the air. 1t saves time
It will do good work where table
worker cannot. IF the temperature is
under perfect control and there is plenty
of help furnished, the table worker fills
the bill in the hands of an expert, but
since time and labor are important mat
tiers in the creamery and a machine
which saves them and also protects the
butter from exposure can be obtained
the combined churn is steadily gaining
friends
