RATS KNEW CAT WAS ABOUT
They Never Saw Puss and Were ON
Another Floor of House.

They Never Saw Puss and Were ON
Another Floor of House.
81 have observed recently rather
curious thing with respect to the rela-
tionship between cats and rats, and it
has led to rather interesting ref1ec-
tion,'' said man who takes much in
terest in animal life. For awhile the
rats overran my place. At night there
was no such thing as quiet around the
house. They would scamper across the
floor, bump up and down the steps and
cut all kinds of capers. We secured a
cat, and from the very time the cat
appeared on the place the rats began
to get scarce.
'There Is nothing curious about this
fact in itself. But to my personal
knowledge the rats have never seen the
cat. The cat has remained OH one floor
and the rats ON another There has been
no chasing and no conflict between
them. Now, want to know how the
rats know the cat is on the place.
''The inquiry has caused me to in
dulge the more interesting reflection,
How far can rat detect the presence
of a cat by the sense Of smell? Evil
IDENTIFY at considerable distance. Else
the rats at my place would not have
known of the cats presence under the
circumstances. I'm quite sure that
they have never seen the cat. But
they know he is there just the same,
and they have been awfully cautious
since his arrival."-New Orleans Times

THE CHEESEMAKER

Taking all things into consideration,
it is hard to estimate the value to our
great national industry by the gener-
al adoption of cool method of curing
cheese, says j. w. Wheaton of Toron-
to. Something may be learned from
the experience of the past two sea-
sons in Canada. The weather has been
cool, and conditions for curing were
in the average factory much better
than usual One result of this has
been the largely increased demand for
Canadian cheese in Great Britain. re-
sulting in higher prices and better
values for the milk producers.
But the weather cannot always be
depended upon, and factory men should
so equip their factories as to be prac-
tically Independent Of it. Unless they
do SO hot season may put them back
where they were two or three years
ago. a +. H
Greatest Cheese state.
New York state provides nearly one
half Of the total amount Of cheese pro-
duced in this country, according to the
report Of State Commissioner of Agri-
culture Charles A. Wieting, made pub
lie short time ago. During 1902 the
production of cheese in that state was
123,987, $40 pounds and Of butter 49,
019,794 pounds. In 1892 the cheese
production was 130. 991 $40 pounds, but
the production Of butter that year was
only 10, 497, 1851 pounds.
The commissioner says that the con-
sumption Of pure milk is increasing
with great rapidity. While in 1884 the
milk consumed In the city Of New
York in one form or another was Co.,
964 forty quart cans. in 1904 1t was
1,O39, 454 forty quart cans and in 1908
! 1,784.958 forty quart cans.

or course there ID more than ono
eause for inaamed .udlers. Sometimes
It arises from exposure to cold, some
t1mes from improper milking and
sometimes from the want Of cleanli-
ness and sufficient bedding in the stall.
1t is easy for any good farmer to find a
preventive IL not a remedy in such
cases. There are other instances where
a veterinarian should be consulted.
This subject is discussed in the Dali
~ World, and in one case not only the
cause is given, but the treatment. We
quote: '"The udder Of deep milking
COWS is. very sensitive. and nine tenths
ct the cases are caused by taking cold.
Recently one Of the windows in q
COW barn was raised little on warm
day and was left open during the
night. The next morning the COW
standing nearest the window had a
swollen udder. During the night she
took cold from the draft, and it settled
in the udder. Closing the window aft
er the evening milking would have
avoided the trouble.
"For treatment the udder was fire.
quently bathed with hot water,
scrubbed vigorously until dry, and
vaseline was applied. Generally a
physic is recommended, but with the
treatment described we have not found
1t necessary.
IF cows are allowed to lie on the
damp, cold ground they are likely to
take cold. If the udder begins to cake
before calving follow the remedy pre-
scribed and milk out.
"Daily access to salt is important,
because if salt is given only OCCASION
ally they will take too much, causing
abnormal thirst, followed by drinking
too much cold water, which often re-
suits in cold.'
Do Not Use Dishcloths.
Old unclean dishcloths should never
be used for wiping dairy utensils aft
er they have been steamed or subject
ed to the hot alkali solutions, as the
germs which are lodged in the cloth
will be again distributed over the sur
face Of the vessels, thus reinfecting
them, says Oscar Err in American
Agriculturist. If utensils must be
wiped dry, it is always best to use a
coarse linen cloth which has previ-
ously been steamed or boiled. Scrub
brushes are the best articles for use
in cleaning dairy utensils. Coarse
linen cloths may also be used, but they
require more care in keeping them
clean. The same methods for clean
ing utensils should be followed for
cleaning cloths. With these precau-
lions dairy utensils can be kept SAM
tary with but little expense.

Making Cream Separate.
Professor Mckay of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college says that they have
been able to improve the quality Of
the butter from farm separator cream
very materially by diluting the cream
with milk to 10 per cent, then running
the mixture through the separator and
skimming so per cent cream. About
20 per cent starter is then added and
the cream ripened in the ordinary
way.
Cows In Winter.
II cows begin to fall off in milk dur
ing the winter after being given an
abundance of grain and hay it is an
indication that the quarters are cold
Or that they require some kind Of sue
eulent food. Where ensilage Is used 1t
serves as green food, but on farms
where no silo is filed the food may be
varied by allowing sliced carrots or
turnips. though the best results can be
secured by first cooking the turnips
and thickening the mess with bran.
When fed warm the COW will relish the
mess highly, and the change of food
will improve the appetite.

The NAME MARY.
At One Time 1t Was Practically a
Bar to NIatrimonS.

Bar to NIatrimOny.
Mary as Christian. name was held
in very singular veneration during the
medieval ages, and in some parts Of
Europe there existed superstitious
reluctance among men to marrying any
one who CHANGED to have been so chris
tened, or the bride elect was at least re.
quired to change this name for some
other of less sanctity.
All Marys were at one time believed
to be invested with extraordinary pow
ers in connection with the affairs of
life. Bearing the same name as the
Blessed Virgin, they were considered
worthy of more than common consid-
Grafton, and their personal influence
over their husbands especially was I'M
usual; hence many men sought au-
thoritative ordinances forbidding their
wives to be known as Mary. Sover-
eigns, in some cases, dreading subjec-
ton to their partners, showed a mark
ed distaste for Marys.
Thus Alfonso ". of CASTLE, when on
the point of wedding a Moorish maid
en-, made it Il condition of the mar
rage that at her baptism, as recent
convert to Christianity, she should not
take this name. In the articles settled
for the union of Ladislas of Poland
with Marie de Nevers there was
clause which bound this princess to
change her name to Aloysa. Casimir
1. of Poland, who married Mary,
daughter Of the Duke Of Russia, re-
quired of her similar sacrifice to pop.

NYEW YORK, June 4.-Harry Payne
Whitney, owner OF Irish Lad and a
number of other horses whose
value is a large fortune has recently
bought three beagle hounds from the
Chestershire kennels in England, paying
record price of SIG, ,450 for the trio.
The dogs have pedigree that dates
back nearly to the Norman conquest and,
taking the word of the beagle wise, they
are without peer in their class and well
worth the money paid for them by the
sporting young millionaire.
To the ordinary observer they are quite
ordinary dogs, who do not in the least
appear to realize their cash value. Except
for the cautious care that is taken about
their every movement nc one would sus-
peet that each dog is worth a small farm
They wag their chunky tails and are quite
willing to lick the hand of the friendly
