Specimens OF Madri.

The chronological museum at Berlin
has just secured one OF the best, If not
the best, Of the few specimens Of
Maori carving now left In New Zea-
land. Some exceedingly old carvings
were collected by Mr.. G. E. Nelson Of
Whakarewarewa, and months were
spent in putting them together and In
supplying the necessary additional
carvings to make complete Maori
house as known in the cannibal days
Of the aboriginals of this colony. When
the work was completed it was thought
the government might be induced to
become the purchaser so as to keep
such rare sample of what is now al
most lost art in the colony, but an
offer of $4,000 from the German insti-
tuition above mentioned was sufficient
to induce the owner to sell out, and
this, rare structure, known among the
Maories as "Rauru," will soon be
shipped to Berlin.

Texas Minister Saw . Buli Fight and

: The Rev. w. Pope Pledger, pastor
Of the Methodist Episcopal church az
Beaumont, Texas. has resigned his
charge becouse Of a storm OF hostile
criticism which was brought about by
a recent act Of his. Last spTilg, 80 Ia
said. there was a cheap excursion 10
Monterey, Mexico, and the minister
and two deacons OF his church took
Advantage OF the low rates, The an-
nual bull fights were taking place at
the time. These exhibitions were given
on Sunday and were attended by the
preacher, the deacons and many OF the
excursionists
When the party returned to Beau
mont storm Of hostile criticism was
directed against Mr., Pledger. He de-
clared he attended the fights to
broaden his fund Of knowledge. and
not for the love Of brutal sport. But
many members OF his parish demanded
that he acknowledge his error and re-
pentance publicly, which he refused to
do. III his sermon OF resignation last
Sunday he said: e
There Is a bold disposition on the
part of many ministers to dictate to
their fockss what they shall eat. drink
and wear. They would narrow the life
down to reading the Bible and going
to reaching and Sunday school.
II is this class of ministers that
have produced q narrow-minded and

their power. they would not allow the
Lord to save anybody except IA con-
forrnity with their notion OF how such
a thing ought to sbe done. ii
These are the people who have
criticised me for going into saloons
and trying to win men for Christ.
They think minister should carry
great amount Of dignity, wear

have a certain manner and wear q

room on Royal street. There were
four men at the tablea merchant, a
railroad superintendent a st, Tam-
many planter, and an ex-judge, all
pretty well to do, except possibly the
1 railroader.
The Judge had three Fights and
discarded an ace and a queen; the
planter had four fves and drew one
card as a blind, and forget what the
others held. The cards they were
playing with were indicators with
marks on the corners, eand as there
were several spectators in the room,
the Judge held his hand very close to-
gether. and looked only at the index
finger on the edge. He saw that ne
had caught another eight in the draw,
making four. Then the betting be-
gan Id earnest, and pretty soon the
railroad man and the merchant drop

Discussion on MIX and Cream

s#kTsEE OIbGuhSIOu Ou uASkk Hhu SASbsAs
CONDENSED from Farmers Review
Ssenographic Report1
AT the last Wisconsin Roundup In
stitute the following discussion took
place:
Prof. Smith-The fact is that there
Is no animal odor in milk when II
comes from the COW. It is put IN by
the mixer. We have MIXED COWS and
set the milk at once, and when 1t was
opened after twentyfour hours there
was no odor about 1t. 1t can set for at
least ten days and still have no odor.
Mr.. Goodrich cannot agree with
Prof Smith in his conclusion that
there is no animal odor In milk in its
pure state as it comes from the COW.
A short time ago heard another pro-
lessor talk on this subject. He said
that there are in the body Of every AMI
nal certain eliminating organs whose
work is to- eliminate certain gases,
and that the udder has some Of these
organs, which eliminate these gases
from the body and pass them into the
milk. 4 ~ @ ,3s b
Prof Harrington think there is a
difference between aerated and I'M
aerateds milk that we do not under
stand.
@. Does aerating milk improve It
for cheese making and butter making?
Prof. Farrington-Yes, sir.
Mr.. NoyesY Yes, sir. II.
Mr.. Goodrich Why doesn't that set
tie it, then, that cheese factories and
creameries should require patrons to
aerate the milk?
G, Does not aerated milk give a
better test and more accurate test?
Prof. Harrington Yes, sir; think
that we would get better test unless
the person that makes the test is care
full to thoroughly mix the milk before
taking the sample.
Q.-What is the cause of cream but
tering in the process of being made
into ice cream? / supply cream to an
ice cream maker in the city, and ! have
had it butter when it tested q per cent
fat.
Prof. Farrington--There are two
things, either of which may cause it.:
one is the temperature and the other is
the thickness Of the cream. Besides
that, the cream may be exposed to ex-
cessive Earring in transportation.
Mr.. Lomar--I have been supplying
cream to restaurant for three years.
and l think that the trouble with Mr..
Taylors cream is due to the man that
makes the ice cream. The tempera-
ture Of the cream is too high at the
time tits put into the freezer, and the
freezer was run too fast. The beating
OF the cream produced butter before 1t
got down to the freezing point.

Bulletin 81 of the West Virginia Ex-
pertinent station says: A large pro-
portion of the lambs which are raised
in West Virginia for the production
of mutton, are marketed in the fall
and although this is undoubtedly the
simplest way OF dis2osing Of the sur
plus lambs, yet this practice possesses
some serious defects, 70: when animals
of any kind are constantly being sold
from farm, with now and then some
hay or grain, the fertility of the soil
is continually carried away, and unless
commercial fertilizers are employed to
supply the deficiency Of potash and
phosphoric acid, the productiveness Of
the land must constantly diminish.
On the other hand, If these lambs
can be profitably fattened during the
winter, they may be made to consume
the clover hay, or other coarse fodder
of the farm which has only small
commercial value. Also the farmer Is
enabled to feed his grain at home in
stead Of being obliged to draw it sew
eral miles to the railroad station. In
addition to the grain which Is raised
upon the farm. some Of the concen-
trated feeding stuffs. such as cotton
seed meal, linseed meal, or wheat bran
can generally be used to advantage In
the fattening ration, and as each Of
these materials contains large guam
tity of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and
potash, which is recovered in the ma
nure, it is seen that when the policy
of feeding the lambs during the win
ter ID intelligently carried out, that
the land will gradually become richer
instead of poorer, because more fer.
tility will be added by the manure
than is carried away by the lamb crop.
