The selection OF the breed is the 9
main thing. Milk is { water, 12O
ounces OF water in one gallon, 18
ounces of fat or solids. The solids ale
30 combined with the water that they ]
NAV be taken out but cannot be recon-
bined. All the folds except fat are
fixed. The variation in the fats de-
perids on the COW and her breeding.
The coloring matter in milk and
butter is vaiueiess entirely. The
speaker discussed 'eeding and treat
ment fully. The .ecture was made
clear by the use of figures and illustra-
tions. Maj. Alvord is to speak again
At the night session large crowd
gathered to hear two lectures which
proved interesting and instructive.
The first speaker was Mr.. G. a.
Parker of Hartford, Conn.,, one OF the
most noted landscape gardeners In
this country, who read a carefully pre-
pared paper on the Development of
Public Grounds in Cities and VII
lagos" The paper will be given to
the State in full later.
Prof. w. NJ. Riggs followed Mr..
Parker who discussed entertiningly
Protection of Property from Light
ming Discharges"
The subject of protection from light.
ming, often ridiculed, Is matter OF
great Importance The agent too Of
ten offers showy but imperfectly made
rods which are worse than no rods.
Prof. Riggs then gave clear state
ment of the construction, erection
and use Of lightning rods and especial
ly the cost. The generation and ac-
tion of electricity was cl 'arly dis
cussed and Illustrated by lantern
slides.
Many beautiful experiments were
given. The galvanized iron rod is
cheap and good. Copper is good, but
it is a waste OF money to buy the cop
per rod when the galvanized iron is
just as good.
The surface OF the rod is the thing
OF importance. The larger the surface
the better. The corrugation or twist
ing of the rod Is to secure as large
amount Of surface with a minimum
weight. The point is of small impor-
, tance, but the grounding is very i'm.
pcrtant. The rod should be over all
parts OF the roof so as to gather the
( electricity and gradually discharge it.
1t Is better to have the rods insulated
from the building, though it is not OF
!; great Importance.
, Chimneys and open windows ir
, barns are often struck. The heated
! air forms a good passage to the e.ec
tricity. 1t is good plan to put rod

! The cost Of the best installation oi
g rods ought not to cost over 80 or ;;
I cents.
i The best ground is made by rivet
