THE SQUIRTING OF CREAM.
How TO Prevent Formation of n Germ
That Makes MIX Leatbery Yet
Leaves 1t sweet.

This trouble is not uncommon in
milk. The cause has been traced to q
specific germ, which is very active, de-
veloping SO rapidly that Tactic acid
germs cannot grow, hence while the
milk appears sour it is perfectly sweet.
l have seen this germ so far advanced
that a car of milk would have almost
the consistency of liver. Steam or
boiling water are the effective agents
for its destruction. Small tools such
as are used in the case at hand can be
put into some large tank or stove boil
er and boiled in water for Is minutes,
which will kill the germs. The cows
udder should be washed and wiped be-
fore each milking. If convenient set
the milk in another room for a few
days and whitewash the walls. Prob
ably in nine cases out of ten the germ
finds lodgment in the seams of the tin
ware, or in the strainer. Another
fruitful source of germ trouble is the
formation of small holes from the in
side of the can or pail into a hollow
space formed by using tin or iron for
strengthening, like the bottom of the
"iron-clad" cans or pals. The putrid
stuff herein formed works back into
the dish when hot water is applied,
and of course remains there. A drop
will contaminate a canful of milk. 1t
may not be out of place to repeat few
simple principles that underlie pure
milk. They do not fail. Cases are rare
that cows give bad milk if fed the usu-
al foods. Warm milk is an ideal
medium for the development of germ
life at the normal temperature and
down to 20 degrees. The germs that
do mischief are ever present, hence
milk should be taken away from the
stable and cooled to 60 degrees or un-
der at once. If the germs get in, a low
temperature retards their growth,
and their effect is not noticed. Always
use steam or boiling water in daily
cleansing. In case of severe trouble
boil the tools, etc, for several minutes.

Russia In q Nutshell.

In a sentence, Russia is a huge farm,
comprising a seventh of the land sur
face of the globe, and a twenty-sixth of
Its total area. 1t has half a dozen men
to manage it--according to the policy
of one of the six-and the people are di-
vided into $1,000, 900 of men and women
Of the more or less comfortable, more
or less educated class, and 119, 900, 900
of citizens, the mass of whom form the
dullest, rudest, least ambitious peasant
try in Europe. If one travels over Rus
STA to spy out the land. he may go for
days across it from west to east without
breaking the continuous view of a fiat
disk, whose only variety lies between
it's farmedflatness and its waste hatness,
its squat, shrinking, unkempt villages
and it's sandy districts wooded with
thin birch or evergreens. Everywhere
1t is new, rude and untidy.-Harper's

Water for Dairy CoMa.

AS a result of a series of experiments
conducted at the Pennsylvania expert
ment station to determine whether or
not dairy cattle could be fed to best
advantage in loose pens with a con-
slant supply of water or kept in stalls
and watered at certain intervals, Prof.
Harry Haywood concludes that there
is practically no advantage in having
water constantly before the cows in
the stable. Cows turned into the yard
for water once a day made as good re-
turns as those having constant access
to water in the stable. 1t was found it
required much more bedding to keep
the COWS clean and comfortable in the
pen than in the stalls. Considerably
less labor was required to care for the
animals in the pen than in the stalls.
A smaller number of germs or bacteria
were found in the milk of those cows
kept in the stalls.

The Farmers bank Account.

When does the farmer make a
profit? There are hundreds of farm
ers who have become wealthy, yet
they have handled very little money
and have had difficulty in meeting
their obligations. There is one bank
accoun which they do not draw
upon and the deposits accumulate
for years, which is the soil. A farm
er takes a poor farm, works it, adds
manure and receives but little over
expenses, but every year his farm
has become more fertile and also in
creased in value. In ten or more
years the farm may be worth five
times the original cost, and it repre-
sents just as much profit as though
the farmer had received money. All
farms are, to a certain extent, banks
of deposit, where the profits of the
farm slowly accumulate.-Troy On

Mexican Bull Fights.

In Mexico the young men of fashion
do not get up amateur circuses or
private theatricals, but amateur bull
fights. All the high life of the
Mexican capital went out the other
day to the bull ring to see young
men of the "swagger" set take part
in one of these entertainments. The
bulls were full of fight, and the
young men of Mexico's four hundred
acquitted themselves in a manner
which won the enthusiastic applause
of the aristocratic spectators. Wher
the second bull was about to be dis.
patched after having been sufficiently
baited, the report says, Luis Illanes
on taking the sword, offered the bull.
to Gov. Corral. After making several
passes, he was rolled over by the
bull; he renewed the attack and de.
livered an 'estocada baja contraria,
which laid his enemy in the duSt.. The
public, in recognition of his prowess
demanded that the ears of the bull
be given him, this being the browning
act of commentator for an 'espada's
achievement"

OF GENERAL INTEREST.

Twenty-three thousand tables v
cred with hieroglyphics have been
brought from Nippur, in Mesopota-
mia, by Prof. Hilprecht.
The water power available on the
Pacific slope for producing electric en-
ergy is equivalent to the combustion
of 300,000,o00 tons of coal a year.
In 1880 the value of farm products
of the south exceeded that of manu-
featured products by more than $780,
100000, while in 1900 manufactures
exceeded farm products by more than
$190, O00, 900, though during that pc
riod the number of persons engaged
in agriculture increased SO per cent.
Germany's matchmaking industry,
in which about SO, 0 900 is invested,
Is said to have been almost ruined by
the output of the American Diamond
Match company's new factories near
Mannheim. Six months ago matches
made in German works were sold at
$40 a case; now they are selling at
SIG q case, which is a dollar below the
cost of production by German ma
chinery. The Diamond Match company

on a strip of paper. The cut shows
how the band of cotton is applied.
A loose band of the cotton is first
placed around the tree and a string
tightly edaround the treenear itslow-
er edge. The upper edge is then pulled
down or turned over the lower tied
part, just as a glove is turned inside
out in taking it off. The female
moths, having no wings, are obliged
to crawl up the trunk of the tree in
order to lay their eggs early in the
springtime, just after the ground
thaws out and also late in the fall.
The cotton band acts as an effectual
barrier so long as it remains fluffy
and soft, as the insects get entangled
and perish there.-Cincinnati Com

H CULTIVATION.
Best and Safest TOols to Be Used Are
the Gang PlOw, the Harrow
ANA the Weeder.

In c%ultivating an orchard the kind
of tool used is of considerable conse-
quence. 1t will rarely pay to use the
common plow, as this is about sure
to break the roots and deprive the
trees of large feeders. A common
pillow may be used in a newly planted
orchard where the trees have made
little root growth, but never in a we'll
established orchard. Even in case of
a young orchard, using the common
pillow year after year will result in
cutting off many of the advancing
roots, especially if the ground be hard
below the point in the soil yearly pen
etrated by the plow. On soil that is
light it does not matter so much, as
the roots will tend to stflke deeper
than the pillow has reached.
Ordinarily it is best to cultivate or
chards with gang plows, with har-
rows or with weeders. Some of the
harrows are particularly arranged for
working around trees, and will pass
much closer to the trees than the
horses go. This c%ultivates the land
to nea the trunks of the trees, while
the heads of the horses and their har-
nesses do not injure the limbs of the
trees. A smoothing harrow does good
work. The use of weeders is urged.
These light weeders can be made to
cover a great deal of ground in a sin
gle day. If used often they keep the
ground in the best of condition, and

SCIENCE OF WATERING.
Under the Treatment Here Described
Almost Every Plant Is Reason
ably Sure to Thrive.

With a consignment of Seeding
evergreens which 1 received a few
years ago was enclosed this order:
"Don't. under any circumstances, wa
ter oftener than every two weeks, but
when watering soak thoroughly"
After studying and testing this adj
vice l found it to embody the correct
principle. A little water placed each
evening on a plant will soon evapo-
rate, the surface becomes baked, the
fine roots hunt the surface, and the
plant is injured instead of benefited.
By the soaking method the ground
must necessarily be well cultivated to
catch the water readily; the moisture
penetrates the soil, drawing the fibrous
roots downward and the results
resemble those caused by a good rain.
1t is in harmony with successful west
ern irrigation. There will be more
gained by thoroughly soaking the
ground around a single tree or plant
each evening than giving a hundred
the customary pint. My Seeding ever
greens were soaked to pillow depth,
and as soon as the surface was dry
enough worked into a dust mulch.
Each morning for a week the surface
looked as if it had received a good
shower, although we scarcely had a
dew. The growth of the trees at
tested to the correctness of the plan.
A few plants possibly might be found
that would not thrive under this
treatment, but they would certainly
be the exception, and not the aver
age.-W. A. Ballinger, in Epitomist.
