that this city is fraud on white

The Magic Lantern.

How many Of us while using magic
lanterns have wondered how they were
first made? Indeed they are Of very
respectable antiquity. As early as the
seventeenth century Jesuit named
Kircher constructed one. 1t was q
very crude affair, and as he was not
unwilling to excite the fears of the
persons who witnessed his exhibitions
be called it a magic" lantern. and so
it has always been called.
There are reasons to believe that the
lantern was in use. even earlier than
the seventeenth century and that the
mysterious figures which the old as
trOlOgers produced in the smoke of
their mystic fires were produced in the
same way as Kircher produced his. the
smoke hiding the lantern.

The latest development in the dairy
Industry and one that has attracted
the most attention probably is dairy
bacteriology. says D. w. Wilson Of
Illinois in The American Agriculturist.
1t is only few years since that the
study Of hacteriOogy has been sufti-
GENTLY scientific to reach milk and its
production. Today we find that the
man who is up in his business is the
dairyman who fully understands bac-
terra, where they come from. how they
so and how to determine the good from
the bad. The man who has the best
knowledge along that line is the man
who Is best fitted to carry on dairying
scientifically and exactly and to guar
antee that his product will be al
ways uniform provided his milk or the
raw product has been delivered to him
in the proper shape.
Marketing dairy products has been
almost entirely revolutionized within
the last % years. The methods of
transportation have improved, and the
methods Of packing. packages and ham
ding In every way have been so rad
ically changed that the handler Of but
ter Of % years ago would hardly be
able to understand or appreciate what
has been accomplished unless he had
grown up. as it were. with the improv-
ed methods. a
We must have the dairy type. con-
formation Of the cow to the business
for which she is designed. We look
upon the cow now as simply machine
through which the products of the
farm are passed and from which we re-
ceive the milk in its perfect condition.
The cow that would produce 100 or
200 pounds Of butter per year 80 years
ago was considered fairly good COW.
but the cow that does not produce 300
pounds Of butter per year now is hard
ly considered mp to date. This has
been brought about by organization.
by breeding and by studying the prob
lem and finding out how the milking
ability of the machine could be de-
veloped.

HON EN- q de KOumiss.

Cows milk should be diluted with
teaspOonfuls of white sugar added per
quart of liquid. A small portion of this
is rubbed into a paste. which is then
placed in strong bottles and allowed to
ferment. After a few days. during
which the bottles should be repeatedly
shaken, beverage of great value in
cases Of digestive disturbance as well
as Of excellent palatability for a
healthy person is produced. Especial
care must be used In corking the bot
ties tightly. and it is safer. owing to
the great pressures produced by the
fermentation, to wrap the bottles In a
heavy cloth before shaking them.

Her Choice.

Once upon time a Young Person,
by Dint Of Frugality. had accumulated

In Illinois the law declares that
cream must contain II per cent Of but

WORKING BUTTER.
Care Should Be Taken Not to Overdo
the Matter.

the Matter.
One cannot write intelligently about
working butter without first taking in
to consideration the condition of the
butter to be worked, writes f. w.
Moseley in The American Cultivator.
We will, however, assume that in
churning the butter had been left in
granules and the buttermilk properly
drained, and rinsed out. If sufficient
time is taken, the rinsing water can be
drained off so thoroughly that no work
ing will be required until the butter
has been sailed and set away till the
grains Of salt have dissolved. Then it
must be worked just enough to dispose
of the resulting brine.
The hands are not to come in contact
with the butter, for their warmth will
have tendency to melt it's grain.
Therefore the person who is to do the
working should be prepared with fiat
ladle with which to turn the edges Of
the butter toward the center as the
WORKING pTOceeuS.
The neatest job Of butter working
the writer ever witnessed was ut the
international dairy fair held at the old
American institute building, New York
city. beginning Dec. s. 1879. and last
ing ten days or two weeks.
There had been a churning contest
resulting from a prize, offered by, John
Stewart of Iowa, whose butter took
first prize at the Centennial, 1876, and
made Iowa famous as butter produc-
ing state. A lady from Minnesota
whose name ! have tried hard to re-
member. but cannot, who had a fine
exhibit Of prints and artistically form
ed butter at the fair, was selected to
work the butter churned by the con-
testants
The lady In question used a common
V shaped lever butter worker. She
bed of worker. letting the edges fall
over each of it's sides. Then the lot Of
butter to he worked granular. Of
course. was poured on the muslin, and
the proper amount of salt was sifted or
sprinkled on. do not remember which.
The working consisted Of a slight
downward pressure of one Of the fiat
surfaces of the lever, with perhaps an
occasional pressure of a corner Of the
lever for the purpose Of making a chan
mel for the escape of the brine. In this
instance time could not be spared to
salt the butter and set it away to allow
the salt to dissolve.
Instead Of using ladle to turn the
butter back to the center Of the worker
the edges Of the muslin were lifted.
first one and then the other. and drawn
so as to fold the edges of the butter to-
ward the center. 1t was q very nice
way of doing it: more gentle than it
could have been done with ladle. This
was repeated as often as necessary,
and when the mass Of butter became
too much elongated the same thing was
done with the ends of the muslin.
Remember that in working butter
with lever the pressure should be
straight down instead of side or slid
ing one, for the latter will break the
grain.

Facts About the SflO.


Twenty years experience in the use
Of the silo has brought out some facts
about which all are agreed. says the
Jersey Bulletin:
That larger amount Of healthful
cattle food can be preserved in the
silo in better condition. at less expense
of labor and land. than by any other
method known.
That silage comes nearer being u
perfect substitute for the succulent
food Of the pasture than any other food
that can be had In the winter.
Thirty pounds day Is enough silage
for an average sized Jersey cow. Lar
ger cattle will eat more.
A cubic foot of silage from the mid
die Of medium sized silo will av-
erage about 40 pounds.
For 1872 days. or half a year, an av-
erage Jersey cow will require about six
tons of silage, allowing for unavoidable
waste.
The circular silo made Of good hard
wood slaves is cheapest and best.
Fifteen feet in diameter and 80 feet
deep Is q good size. Such q silo will
hold about 200 tons of silage cut in half
inch lengths.
Corn just passing out Of roasting ear
stage is the best single material for
silage. Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined materials in cowpea regions.
Silage is as valuable in summer as in
winter
The silo has come to be as necessary
part of a dairy farm plant as corn
crib or a heymow.
