WHY THE BOILER BURSTS.


nomesa of the Kitchen.
When you hear the kitchen boiler
cracking, there is no cause for alarm.
There Is a prevailing impression that
the cracking is produced by steam and
that there is therefore an increased
pressure on the boiler at such times.
But this Is an error. Ii the boiler Is In
good condition. with the water turned
on as usual SO that the boiler Is kept
filed, the only pressure that 1t Is sub.
jected to Is the same as that In the
water pipes, from which of course
there never Is the slightest danger.
And this Is true no matter how hot the
water In the boiler may he.
The reason is very simple. As long
as the boiler Is kept full of water there
IL no room for steam. II you open the
hot water cock, the water pours out.
aud steam rises from 1t, because II then
has chance TO escape into the air. In
other words, evaporation takes place.
But as the hot water pours out water
from the pipes rushes in TO take its
place, and thus the boiler is kept full.
NV nOiSC ICltiitu IL Is
heard when the water Is unusually hot
and Is nothing but the expansion of the
boiler under the influence of that heat
1t is in no degree an indication of dan
ger unless indeed the boiler Is worn out
or defective, which Is q matter entirely
outside Of what we are now consider
Ing.
When kitchen boiler explodes, 1t Is
generally because a fire has been kin
died In the range while the boiler was
empty. II happens sometimes when
people come back to town after spend.
Ing the summer away. The fire heats
the boiler. OF course, aud when the wa
ter IL turned on II Is converted sudden.
ly and violently Into steam, and the
boiler cannot stand the enormous pres.
sure. Fortunately few persons are
thoughtless enough or silly enough to
build fire before opening the cocks
connecting the boiler with the water
pipes Chicago Chronicle.

yerdict Meant Death.

4 Aldrich, Mo-, May 27th, -Four Of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore q
this place, who has been suffering from
a severe case Of nervousness and kid
ney disease. Each Of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing OF Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to use them, and instantly no.
ticed change for the better. Her I'M
provelnent has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearance q
dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were SO bad that many
times she would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as If shot.
The fact that Dodds Kidney P1lis
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end Of talk IN
this neighborhood, and all are LOUD N
their praises of this new remedy

Feeding babies aged and decomposed
milk is unquestionably the cause of

liability OF getting fermented and

with hot weather. The difficulty OF
getting milk into the hands OF the
Chicago consumer in fresh, wholesome

when early applied, is certainly eff
cacious. but the cure is almost as bad
as the disease.
Another precautfon against impure

National Meat Inapection.

The live stock and meat inspection
service Of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry has had a phenomenal growth
and now constitutes the larger part Of
its work. Meat inspection was carried
on, in the fiscal year 1900, at 14S pack
ing houses and abattoirs, situated in
forty-five different centers. The total
number of antemortem inspections OF
animals was 53,087 1894. This comprised
9,656,762 inspections of cattle, 9,S54,732
Of sheep, 559,735 of calves, 33,011 ,205 Of
hogs, and $3.50 Of horses. The number
Of animals rejected, subject to post
mortem inspection, was 1888. The
actual number OF animals inspected
before slaughter was 34,840,374, against
3,sO9, 459 in 1892, an increase Of 1880
'915, OF. 815 per cent. 4 The postmortem
inspection Of 34,737,613 animals re-
suited in the condemnation Of 61,906
carcasses and 30,346 parts of carcasses.
The Bureau in 1899 inspected micro
scopically 1OS, 1913, 1875 pounds of pork for
export, as against 38,152,S74 pounds in
1892, when microscopical inspection
was begun, an increase Of 70,775,321
pounds, or 1856 per cent. In 1900, how
ever, but $500, 626 pounds were in
spected, or only about half as much
as in 1899.

yariabllItY Of Tests.

Prof. Hacker says that when a
farmer gets his test and it is "a and
the month before 1t was 4.4, he will
come to the creamery and say: j
know my herd tests a. and here
have only a test of 3.4. You hear
these things wherever you go: 1t Is
universal. Now. for the purpose Of
throwing a little light on this subject,
i wish for a moment to call your at
tention to the wonderful machine q
COW is. We know that the average
COW has not proper care; that she IL
not kept comfortable; that one day
she has all she wants to eat and an
other she has not; that some
nights she is cold and some nights she
is comfortable. Now here we have a
record from cows properly cared for,
One tests in the morning AZ; in the
evening she tests Al; the next morn
ing she tests 81; the next milkings
s3.5, syS, SO, As, 3.4. Just see the varia-
tons from one milking to another
all OF one per cent; or In other words,
the COW gives rs per cent richer milk
at one milking than she does at an
other. Now that is SO far as the daily
test is concerned, for We test every
milking and have since 1891. Now
the same popularity exists from week
i to week Let us take the first milking
of the cow per cent fat; the next
81, 81, 81, So, ST.. 4. We'll now sup
pose some farmer had taken his COW
and employed some one to make these
tests at his farm and then found at
the end Of the week that she averaged
5.5. Why, he has a five per cent COW
and you would hear that every week,
Now examine what she will do later,
All that week she averages 81. This
is taking one test in the morning and
one in the evening, and that should
give us pretty good idea Of what she
did. But next week find she gives
IA on an average; and when I tested
the third week, all the week, every
milking, she tested 4 per cent. An,
other week testing every milking and
she tests 80. Now here You have the
whole months record Of averages fol
each week, commencing with 7 and
ending with weeks test OF So. Pos
sibly we should be a little more char
liable to the farmer who finds fault
because these things are not generally
understood. Let us take for instance
whole herd. will read notes Of a
few tests made during 1895. First, for
three consecutive days the herd tested
4; the next day it tested Al; the next
49,; the next 4.3, and the next 3.9.
These variations can not be accounted
for. u. !.

WESTERN cANADA'S
DECEMBER WEATHER
4 Eaua, to That Of May la Mlnnes ota.

To the Editer:--Thomas Regain and
@. Collins of Eden Valley, Minnesota,
went out to Western Canada last De-
cember as delegates to look over the
grazing and grain lands that are being
offered at such low prices and reason
able terms. This is what they say:
We arrived in Calgary about the Goth
OF December and although we had LETT
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba, we
We're surprised to find beautiful warm
weather at this point, quite equal to
what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace Of win
ter to be seen, and the climate was
really splendid. Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out, In prime con-
8dition, with plenty Of feed ON the prai-
RE, and really better than that of ours
stabbed in the south. We are i'm
spressea with this country as one OF the
finest mixed farming countries we
have ever seen. The immense tracts
OF fertile lands well sheltered and
abundantly ,Watered leave nothing to
be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
l and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples OF
grain we were able to see-wheat
yielding rs bushels, oats 60 bushels.
Roots were also good specimens. From
what we have seen. we have decided
to throw in our lot with the York
toners satisfied that this part OF the
country will furnish good opportuni-
ties for anyone anxious to make the
best of a really good country"

When new inventions come into ex-
istence new problems arise in their
connection. The milk test did away
with some Of the old problems that
hung around the selling of milk in
bulk, such as the inclination of the
patron to add water to increase the
bulk OF his product. but it brought in
the problems of honesty and correct
ness in making the tests and the ques-
lions of the strength Of acids and per-
lection Of the measuring bottles. 1t
takes a man long time to find out
that the milk from his COWS varies
constantly. This fact makes trouble
for the man that does the testing, no
matter how honest he may be.
