Curiosities of Cut Glass.

The process of glass cutting requires
great skill and care. A design is first
lightly copied on the glass, and the
cutters take it in hand A fine stream
of sand and water falls continuously
on rapidly revolving steel wheel. To
this the glass is applied, and the cut
ting is really accomplished by the fric-
ton which the sand sets up. Then an
other workman with another steel
wheel and plain water brings the cut
ting up to a sharper edge. A third
workman with soft wooden tool takes
off the cloudiness caused by the fric-
ton Of the steel, fourth polishes the
glass. fifth with preparation of OK
ide Of tin gives to it that iridescent
luster which makes us value cut glass
so highly.
Sixteenth Century Manners.
Ii ali old book published in the six
teenth century and entitled 'The Ac-
complished Lady's Rich Closet; CT, In
genious Gentlewoman's Delightful
Companion it is written:
"a gentlewoman being at table must
obserse to keep her body straight and
lean not by any means with her elbows
nor by ravenous gesture discover a vo-
racious appetite. Talk not when you
have meat in your mouth and do not
smack like a pig nor venture to eat
spoon meat SO hot that the tears stand
in your eyes, which is as unseemly as
the gentlewoman who pretended to
have as little a stomach as she had
mouth and therefore would not swal-
low her peas by spoonful, but took
them one by one and cut them in two
before she would eat them. 1t is very
unseemly to drink so large draft that
your breath is almost gone and you
are forced to blow strongly to recover
yourself. In carving at your own table
distribute the best pieces first, and it
will appear very comely and decent to
use a fork, SO touch no piece of meat
without it."

Cost of Making Butter.

According to the Iowa dairy com
missioner the cost Of making a pound
Of butter at the various creameries OF
that state varies from IL cents to
cents per pound. The butter that cost
IL cents to make was in a co-opera-
tive creamery that made annually
about half million pounds of butter
from whole milk. The average cost
for making butter, taking the state as
a whole, was "a cents per pound
Separating the creameries into groups
the cost was found to be as follows
In creameries making not more than
10000 pounds, 3.14 cents; between So
600 and 100000 pounds, 2.36 cents; be-
tween 100000 and 100000 pounds, 1.99
cents; between 100000 and 100000
pounds, 1.7S cents; between 100000 and
100000 pounds, LII cents.

GuesswOrk I'm the Dairy.

What a wonderful impetus it would
give to the dairy business, not alone in
Wisconsin, but all through the country,
if every dairyman would give up guess

that he would have an authoritative
basis for determining whether the Dali

HINTS ABOUT MILKING

Have the stable clean and have the
COW clean Or you can't get clean milk.
Whitewash for walls and posts is a
good thing. Land plaster is a good
absorbent in the stable.
Manipulate the Udder.
Before commencing to milk brush all
loose dirt from the sides and udder of
the cow After little manipulation of
the teats and udder the milk is ready to
"come down." Then is the time to take
it. and do not delay.
Please the Cow.
No definite rule can be given as to
how the teats should be handled in
milking, as COWS differ and hands diff
fer so much, but be sure of one thing
please the cow if possible. There should
always be a friendly feeling between
the COW and the mixer, and mixers
should not be changed if it can be
avoided. A cow will not give down"
her milk to a mixer she hates or is
afraid of and what she does give will
be deficient in butter fat.
Regularity In Milking.
Always milk a cow in the same man
ner, at about the same time and speed.
Any change will tend to irritate and ex-
cite her. Always milk in the same or
der and at the same time Of day. If
you disappoint her and milk half an
hour late, the chances are that you will
get less and poorer milk than if you
MIXED at the proper time.
Get All the Milk.
Always milk the cow dry before leav-
ing her, but do not continue stripping
after the milk is all drawn. If part Of
the milk is left at each milking in the
udder nature will soon stop providing
it because it is not taken. The last
milk drawn from d cow is much richer
than the first. The last quart usually
contains more than three times as much
butter as the first.
Dairy Bacteria.
Over 200 different kinds of dairy bac-
terra are found in milk and its prod
ucts, new and old. Many of these
have not been completely described
and will require much more study be-
fore their characteristics are fully I'M
derstood
For practical purposes dairy bacteria
may be separated into three classes, as
follows: % Harmless bacteria; (2) use
full bacteria; g. harmful bacteria

Milk is q product subject to remark
able changes in the system, says
correspondent of the New York Tribune.
Fright, anger, pain, etc, leave their
traces in the milk secretions. So
marked has this sometimes been in the
human mother that by anger, fright,
excitement, pain, ETC., poison has
been infused into the milk that has
resulted in commissions and death of
the nursing child. No doubt the same
causes produce similar effect among
animals. Experiments prove that one
side Of the udder Of a cow may be
MIXED and then the cow be frightened
or greatly excited, and the other side
be Immediately MIXED, and a marked
change will be seen to have taken
place in the milk. There will be ma
terial reduction in the per cent of fat,
besides other changes.
All this we know by experiment and
experience, but now the milk is secret
ed, and by what process it is deposited
in the udder the most skilled. anatomist
has failed to inform us. Some claim
it to be nerve production, others say
it is secreted by the blood, while still
others assert that it Is an Independent
production, each giving apparently good
reasons for his position.
The fact that in a single minute by
fright or anger the character of the
milk may be changed shows that the
nerve system exercises powerful con-
troll over it. The large quantity of
blood passing from the udder to the
heart through the milk veins tends to
prove that, in some way, blood is an
active factor in milk production, while
the quantity of milk secreted is such
as to render the method mysterious, as
$50 far as any writer whose works
have read has said no trace of this
milk is found in the blood. If in the
blood, the quantity secreted in twenty
four hours is so great it would form
large portion of the blood flowing from
the heart to the udder. With all the
investigation that has been made UP
to this time we are compelled to con-
fess that we know very little about it.
Some breeds of COWS produce large
butter fat globule highly colored; 9th
ers a small and light colored one. This
faculty is largely fixed by breeding.
The Dairy Steer.
Suppose the steers raised from cows
bred to dairy bulls are worth a great
deal less than those from COWS bred to
beef bulls, which they are, what steer
will bring a profit Of $50 over and
above the feed it will take to get him
ready for the market in two and one
half years? And yet this is what he
would have to do in order to make the
beef combination as profitable as the
dairy type, even though the dairy steer
were given away, provided we are cor
rect in saying that dairy sires would
raise the average butter yield from $50
to ESQ pounds, and we certainly believe
this to be a conservative estimate

with saying that cow which produces
less than 800 pounds of butter in a

bring for beef. Here are some of the

Personal.

DIR. Henry M. MacCracken, chan
celIor of the New York University,
makes the assertion that the medical
schools of that city are on the decline
because wealthy and publfc-spirited
men have withdrawn the support that
in the past enabled these institutions
to maintain a high standard of in
struction. The reason given by the
chancellor is that millionaires will not
give any more money unless their
names can be identified with those of
the hospitals. In other words, they
practically insist that the large insti-
buttons he renamed-forgetting that the
charters upon which they are based
would be forfeited.

For instance, he abluntly maintained
that the selection of all ladies' on the
stage, except for the chorus singers.

amount, should be governed by de-
sire to put pleasing forms and faces
before the public. His view of the

from visit to one of the smaller towns

the street car system there, says the

the two blocks to the car line, she was
Obliged to do the next best thing. He
raced to the street on which the street
cars Travelled and found the car four
blocks away proceeding on its way to
the depot.
If that car was missed. it was a sure
miss of the train. So he took a hitch
in the vicinity of his belt and made
time toward the retreating vehicle,
catching it before it had proceeded one
block further The usual procedure
would have been for the car to have
waited until the passenger came up,
but in this town the driver was more
accommodating and he turned his
mules around to the other end and
came back after the belated one. She
made the train, but it was a terrible
strain on the mules.

An amusing controversy is on IN
something to say of Hans. the re-
nfarkable horse that thinks logically
and has the power of making his
thoughts known to men. Hans be-
longs to Herr Won Osten. who recently
requested that the animal be given an
audience by the Emperor. 1t seems
that the imperial minister Of edrca-
tion objected to this idea. on the
ground that It would be undignified
for the Emperor to receive a horse
in audience as an educated person.
Upon hearing OF this Herr Won Osten,
who is retired school teacher, re-
torted that Hans was much more in
telligent and of higher education than
a number of teachers who were en-
ployed in the public schools. The
trainer of the horse averred his will
ingness to prove Hans, who is nine
years old, to be much more intelligent
and further advanced than the average
public school pupil of the same age.
Scientific men took UP the contro-
versy on both sides, and now there is
mulch discussion as to the relative
merits OF school teachers, nine-year-
old children and this certain nine
year-old horse. The imperial minis
try is said to be divided on the sub
ject, and it is by no means certain
that cabinet crisis will not be pre-
cipitated.
