Cardinal Newman.

A friend of Cardinal Newman says
in The Cornhill that that eminent man
spent every day from to or o'clock
in his study. HE always kept on his
table the edition of Gibbon, with the
notes of GuiZot and Milman, Dolling-
er's 'Heidenthum und Judenthum;' al
most always the copy of 'Athanasius'
which had belonged to Bossuet and
which contained in the margin notes in
the handwriting of the great bishop
the last of the fathers as Newman
delighted to call him. Newman had
also always near at hand some Greek
poet or philosopher.
Talking to me one day about Greek
thinkers. he said - and | believe he
has mentioned it to others-that he
owed little or nothing intellectually to
any Latin writer, with one exception.
The exception was not St Augustine,
but Cicero. He always maintained
that he owed his marvellous style to the
persistent study of Cicero. This will
strike, no doubt, many people as most
strange. st. Augustine, one would
think, would have appealed to New
man, and his Latin was more pictur-
esque than that of Cicero.
again, authorities say that Newman
wrote better English than Cicero Lat
in. Nevertheless he constantly insist
ed on his obligations to the great Ro-
man statesman"

GRAIN WEEVltS.


The BisuIphIde of Carbon Treatment.
Frequent Sitting and FnnninG.
The common species of grain insects
seem TO be more than usually abundant
this fall, as shown by nuNTous let
ters of inquiry received at the Kansas
experiment station. The two forms
most In evidence are the common grain
moth and the black weeyil, the latter
generally more abundant. In either
case the most ready method of their de-
struction is the employment of carbon
bisuIphide, one pound at least of the
LIQUID to hundred bushels of grain or
a thousand feet of space.
1t seems likely from the varying de
grees of success reported with this
formula that certain essential condi-
tions are not always strictly observed
In ordinary cribs and bins the most Inn
portant provision is to make the room
as nearly as possible gas tight In order
that the gas may remain In all parts of
the space in full strength and for the
required time. Except with highly or
ganiZed insects, death does not occur
Immediately, and partial suffocation
may only render the insect insensible,
leaving it to recover fully upon the air
ing out of the bin; or the gradual es-
cape Of the gas through cracks In the
floor or sides of the bin, allowing the
entrance of fresh air, may cause fail
ure through the subsequent revival of
the insect. The adult grain moth readi-
ly succumbs to the gas, while the larya
will stand more and yet revive. The
black weevil is most difficult to kill.
Hence to destroy all 1t will be necessa-
ry TO continue the action of the gas In
full strength for at least twenty-four
hours, and to do this the bin must be
made tight, the fluid carbon bisulphide
be used in liberal quantities. and in
case of doubt the experiment repeated.
Wheat may be largely kept free from
weevll by proper handling, frequent
shifting and tanning, such constituting
the chief reliance In the elevators.
Corn In cribs can scarcely be freed
from weevil while remalning there ow-
Ing to the practical impossibllity of
making the crib sufficiently tight Tar

A Hint ON Cornhuslxing.

Use a horse to pull over your corn
shocks. Take rope about eighteen
feet long, attach one end to the single
tree, carry the other end around the
shock and fasten to singletree also. See
that the rope Is around the shock about
twenty inches from the ground. A
slight pull of the horse will bring over
the shock. With a boy to lead the
horse and handy hitch to the rope
you can average a shock minute and
have 1t in much better shape for husk-
ing than when torn down by hand.
You can in this way pull over a days
husking while the dew Is on, and the
fodder will be damper for husking
than if left standing till wanted. 1t
will be another advantage to you II
you are careful to pull over your
shocks so that you can face the wind
while husking, letting the wind blow
the fodder to you and not away, says
an Ohio Farmer writer.

TO prevent the escape Of the gas by
diffusion before the black weeyil can
be destroyed.
1t is suggested by a correspondent
that gasoline is equally effective with
carbon bisulphide, and owing to its
cheapness it can be used in certainly
destructive quantities at little expense.
1t may be necessary to warn those who
employ either of these liquids that the
gas is highly inflammable and explo-
sive when ignited: hence no fire or
light should he allowed about the bin

ROPY MILK AND CREAM.

It's Nature, Most Common Cause and
Measures For Prevention.
Ropy milk or cream is Objectionable
CT account of its unwholesome appear
ance rather than because of any known
harmful effect caused by its consump-
ton. The Shiny, viscid condition of
tie milk is exceedingly disgusting to
the consumer, and it's occurrence con-
stitutes serious menace to the success
of milk route. This fault in milk Is
one of financial rather than of hygienic
Importance.
Much of the adherence of ropy milk
is induced by the mistaken belief that
it is in some way caused by a disease
of the cows udder commonly called
garget. The udder of a COW affected
with garget may contain a yellowish,
thick, viscid, purulent liquid, which is
obviously unwholesome at the usme it
is drawn from the udder Unfortu-
nately farmers frequently speak of
this unwholesome fluid as ''ropy' or
''stringy'' milk. The milk fault refer
red to in bulletin by Professor A. R.
Ward Of the Cornell (N. ~ station Is
entirely different and bears no relation
to the bealth of the cow.
The kind of ropiness occurring In
milk from healthy udder appears on
ly after the milk has been drawn from
the cow at least twelve hours. Profess
or Ward arrives at the following con-
clusions in regard to It:
Ropy milk contains bacteria that are
responsible for its viscid condition.
These bacteria live naturally in water
Measures for the prevention of the
trouble must be directed toward pre-
venting the bacteria from getting into
milk. Following are some Of the more
important measures that should be
taken to stop the trouble and to pre-
vent its recurrence.
After milking at night the milk pals
and strainer cloth should be washed
and scalded before using In the morn
ing, or a second set thoroughly clean
and scalded should, be used I'm the
morning. The practice Of merely rims
ing pals and strainers in cold water at
the barn Mt night offers an opportunity
for the Introduction of the bacteria
ihlO Auiih CNity 1tOl inC WaLCts
If the cows wade in mud and smear
the udders with dirt and filth, put
stop to it. BY this means many objec-
tionable bacteria get into milk by fan
ing into the milk pail.
The floors of all rooms where ropy
milk has been kept should be disinfect-
ed with mixture of five parts Of
crude sulphuric acid to ninety-five
parts OF water.
All milk utensils should be scalded
most thoroughly daily. Never let cold
water come in contact with utensils
unless they are scalded before using
for milk again.
Exercise the greatest care to prevent
even drop of water from the cooling
tank getting into the milk. That oc-
currence is probably the most common
cause of trouble from ropy milk. IL
water must spatter about, the cans
standing in Ice water should be COW
cred.
Utensils after washing and scalding
should stand upside down to prevent
the accumulation of dust on the inside.
