His Time for GIVING.

Marcus DAILY, the mining million
aire, left fortune of $1,000, 900 and
was accounted one of the most gen
erous of the rich mine owners. He
had his own ideas, however, about
the time and place of giving.
"A newspaper woman called upon
him one evening for a contribution
to a newsboys' home.
These poor little flowers of the
street" said she; couldn't you give
me goodly sum for them?"
There are only one kind of flowers
[ like" answered the miner.

-Four o'clocks. They never collect
honey after closing time in the after
noon"
The visitor took the hint Her next
mornings mail brought her a good
sized check for the newsboys.-New

gave some polite excuse for his I'M

Arnentlne Corn crop.

The Minister of Agriculture Of Ar
gentina estimates the corn crop Of
this year, now harvested, at 14S,000i-
600, which was grown on 4,4S6,157
acres of land. Last year the area I'M
der maize amounted to 3,473,746 acres
and the total crop to S4,01S,341 bush
els, the average yield being then 24.2
bushels per acre. The increase was
27.7 per cent in the area, 80 per cent
in the average yield per acre, and 1871
per cent in the total crop. The guam
tity of maize available for expectation
this year is not likely to be quite in
proportion to the magnitude of the
crop produced, as considerable
amount was damaged by wet weather
and q portion of the crop was lost for
want of adequate labor to gather it
while in good condition. In many
cases cattle were turned into the
fields to eat the standing corn, owing
to the impossibility of getting labor
to harvest it in time.

tn. Winter BUGS REVENGE.

An alarming state of affairs exists
in a Michigan town, where scientist
and an entomologist at that-has
been bitten by bug. If there is any
one whom one would imag-
inc a bug would respect it
would be an entomofogist, for
he spends his life in the uplifting of
the bug species; but it seems not.
This. however, was an exaggerated
case. as the scientist in question went
all the way to Michigan from Wash
ington to study into the habits and
haunts of the winter bug, and it was
the winter bug that bit him. He
was bitten on the chin and soon lapsed
into a semi-conscious condition, and
is is exceedingly doubtful whether he
will ever be able to engage in the
pleasant occupation of chasing bugs.
1t was undoubtedly a bug that was not
inoculated with the modern spirit of
scientific investigation that bit the
professor; it resented anybody prying
into its manner of living and desired
no assistance until it was asked for. 1t
can be fairly said that it was the very
last bite of the winter bug, and it is
to be hoped that the summer bug is
a kindlier nature and knows a little
more about modern science as she is
now worked.-St. Paul Globe.

Sure Cure for Consumption.

An old magazine has the following
Hcure for consumption:
In the month of May gather the
flowers from the thorn bush-boil two
punches of the blossom in Y pint OF
water-let it stand till it is about as
warm as milk from the cow-drink it
the first thing in the morning, and
take a walk Immediately afterward. If
the weather is favorable, and a cure
will soon be effected.
The recipe has performed a perfect
cure on many persons, and one thing
must strongly recommend it, which is
the impossibility of its being injurious
to the complaint, or to health, and,
therefore, well worth trying.
The flowers viii keep good and be
fit for use all the year, if they are well
sprinkled with salt; then put into an
earthen pan, or preserving jar, and
tied down tight to keep the air from
them.

WHAT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
Inmates of Orphan Asylum Never
Seemed to Grow.

Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller has
always shown a marked tenderness for
children, and when he visits city is
usually the guest of some institution
devoted to their interests. A clergy
man of the Presbyterian faith was
once showing the justice and his party
about an orphan asylum when the
children assembled and gave an en-
tertainment for them.
The justice responded in a speech
which was marked by applause. A
politician who accompanied him spoke
in laudatory terms Of the address, but
added:
"Say, judge, l was much pleased
with what you said, and know you'll
do them good, but I'm darned puzzled
about one thing, and the more come
to this place the more puzzled 1 am.
Ten years ago, when first came here,
them little fellows was just the height
they are now. Why, in heavens name,
don't they grown"

Wheat as food for horses was test
ed at the North Dakota Experiment
Station. The results are published in
Bulletin No. 20 Of that station. The
wheat was fed at the rate Of IA
pounds daily, and the horses were
given an average days work. 1t was
found that wheat alone was not a
satisfactory grain ration for work
horse. There was a tendency for the
horses to get "off feed" and for the
digestion to become deranged. No
tests are reported where wheat
formed part of the grain ration for
work horses; upon this point, DR..
Salmon, Of the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture, gives suggestions in circular
Of information issued in 1894.
There are certain points to be
borne in mind when one is common
cling to feed wheat. Our domesti-
Gated animals are all very fond of it,
but are not accustomed to eating it.
Precautions should consequently be
observed to prevent accidents and dis
ease from its use. II is a matter of
common observation that when full
fed horses are changed from old to
new oats they are liable to attacks of
Indigestion, collie and founder. II
such results follow the change from
old to new oats, how much more
likely are they to follow a radical
change. such as that from oats TO
wheat? For this reason, wheat should
at first be fed in small quantities. II
should, when possible, be mixed with
some other grain and care should be
taken to prevent any one animal from
getting more than the quantity In
tended for it. These precautions are
especially necessary when wheat is
fed to horses, as these animals are
peculiarly liable to collie and other
disturbances Of the digestive organs
accompanied or followed by laminitis
Cattle, sheep and hogs frequently
crowd each other from the feeding
troughs, in which case some individ
uals obtain more than their share

, tacks Of indigestion. The best form il
which to feed wheat is to roll or GRIND
it into a coarse meal. 1t may ther
be fed alone, or mixed with corr
meal or ground oats. When ground
fine it is pasty and adheres to tbs
teeth, gums and cheeks so that it il
not SO readily masticated or eaten.

Cost Of Pasteurizinq.

Experiments conducted at the Royal
Experiment Station in Copenhagen
prove that If a pasteurizer is properly
constructed and properly operated it
will require about 80 lbs of steam for
heating 1000 pounds of milk. from go
to 1855 degrees F., says M. Mortenson.
If we figure that it takes one pound
of coal to produce four pounds Of
steam, to produce ninety pounds Of
steam will then require % pounds Of
coal. Figuring coal at $500 per ton
and our butter yield Az pounds but
ter to 100 pounds milk, makes the cost
of pasteurizing one pound of butter
about one-tenth of a cent. This ex-
pense, however, is reduced consider
ably by pasteurizing the cream and
skinned milk separately. The cream
is reduced to such a small amount
that the expense per pound will be
very little. For pasteurization of
skinned milk the exhaust steam can
be used; this is also more satisfactory
to the patrons as milk when pasteur-
lied after skimming is warm enough
to scald the cans and the milk keeps
sweet longer.

Costume Of Hindoo MaIes.

To every male Hindoo in all parts
of India alike the dhotee is an indis-
pensable garment. Should he even
wear drawers or trousers he would
have a dnotee, large or small, under
meath. The dhotee is a single piece of
cloth from two and half to three and
a half yards long by two to three feet
broad, with ornamented ends and Dor
ders. 1t is pit on precisely like the
saree, but is generally worn in sin
gle fold only around the waist. The
plated folds in front are made like
those of the saree, and if passed be-
tween the legs and tucked into the
waist behind the dhotee become a
pair of drawers, as it were, reaching
to the knee or even below it, as may
be desired. Dhotees are woven in
pairs and while one piece is worn as
already described the other is thrown
over the head and shoulders or passed
across the chest only like a shepherds
plaid. The attire of a Brahmin with
a shaver head and the upper and low
er dhotee resembles in many respects
that of a Greek statue.

oulet and Mix secretion.

AS the milk glands are under direct
control of the nervous system, any con-
ditions which affect the nervous sys-
tenn, will react upon the milk-produc-
ing glands. Any undue disturbance of
the normal distribution of the nervous
force will divert some of the blood
supply from the milk glands to some
other part of the body and thus dimin-
ish the milk flow. The well known
phenomenon of mot giving down" the
milk is the result of lack of nervous
tone in the gland brought about by
some sort of excitement. The udder
is not a container in which the milk
is ready stored up at milking time,
but an organ in which, as has already
been pointed out, the greater part OF
the milk is elaborated while milking
or sucking is in progress by virtue
of the agitation produced. Unless the
COW is in perfect repose this secretion
will not take place normally. The les
son to be derived from this is that the
COW should be treated with the great
est gentleness and be otherwise kept
free from excitement, especially during
the time of milking or suckling.--J. ].

Gas Content of MIL.

The elimination of gases from the
milk does not necessarily mean that
the milk has been rendered more pal
atable or more healthful, but it does
indicate that with the elimination of
gases, changes take place which do in
fuence the milk one way or the other
OF course it is easily understood that
the gases which have been determined
can have only indirectly a bearing
upon the lamentations of the milk.
The presence of carbon dioxide of oxy-
gen, or residual gases, called usually
nitrogen, signifies nothing especially
so far as these gases themselves are
involved, but, when we find that the
amount of carbon dioxide is greatly
diminished as we draw the milk from
the udder as we pass it over the aera-
tor, in fact, as we agitate it more or
less in the presence of air, farther, as
we note at the beginning, the milk in
the udder contains no trace of oxygen
but with the milking process the
amount of oxygen greatly increases, as
when the milk is treated as recited,
under carbon dioxide, the oxygen con-
tinues to increase in amount, and too,
as we notice the changes in the
amount of the residual gas, we can
readily understand that there are
marked alterations going on in the
milk as it passes through the various
manipulations of the dairy.-Prof. c.

The Strawberry Bed

From Farmers Review: The late
frosts got the earliest blossoms, but
owing to rush the patch was not
worked over this spring, leaving a
mat of plants, so the frosts were per-
haps an advantage to US, for while the
yield was less, the berries were larger.
The second week of berry time was
very warm with daily showers. hence
the fruit ripened very fast, yielding
from eight to eleven gallons daily: but
oh, so hard to pickI by being in a mat.
From patch lie of an acre in ex-
tent we gathered seventy-four gallons
OF berries, and perhaps eight or ten
quarts spoiled. Ripening as fast as
they did, few ripe berries overlooked
to-day would be spoiled tomorrow.
The quality was fine, extra; and the
size on an average was very good.
some few berries as large as common
peaches-four inches in circumfer-
ence. The yield was in proportion to
$500 quarts per acre. The bed was
not mulched at all last winter or
spring; where the bed is covered with
thick foliage, it is better to mulch
lightly with straw or leaves in our
climate, if at all, excepting with late
set bed.

In addition to fertilizing the vacant

Foundation Of palrxlnu.

Many people when handling milk
seem to forget that they are dealing
with food products, says Prof. Wilbur
j. Fraser, of the University of IlIi-
nois. There is a tendency for certain
unfortunate practices to invade the
dairy business. If filth is allowed to
get into milk or it becomes tainted at
any point of its production, no amount
OF care either before or after can
make amends for the difficulty. A man
may be careful and correct in all Of
his dairy operations but one, and yet
this one be the cause of his producing
low grade product. This one mis-
take not only Injuries his product but
the dairy market as well. This being
true, it is clear that the greatest care
should be exercised in every step of
production, manufacture and delivery
of dairy products to the consumer
Only those dairymen who exercise
such care can hope to secure the trade
of people who desire a product of SUI
perior quality and are willing to pay
an advanced price. The real founda-
ton Of the whole dairy business lies in
the milk producer. The chief neces,
sity then in improving the dairy condi-
tons is to give the producer such a
knowledge of the right methods of
handling and caring for milk that he
will not only see the necessity for
such methods but may also know how
best to accomplish this purpose.
