How to Cut Glass.

Glass can be cut without Il diamond,
and the way is very simple. Dip a
piece Of common string in alcohol and
squeeze it reasonably dry. Then tie
the string tightly around the glass on
the line of cutting Touch a match to
the string and let it burn off. The
heat of the burning string will weaken
the glass in this particular place. While
it is hot plunge the glass under water,
letting the arm go under we'll to the
elbow, SO there will be no vibration
when the glass is struck. With the
free hand strike the glass outside the
line Of cutting, giving a quick, sharp
stroke with any long fat instrument.
such as q stick Of wood or a long
bladed knife, and the cut will as clean
and straight rs if made by a regular
glass cutter.

COWS AND THEIR MILK.
Some Interesting Facts For Dairy
men to Ponder.

men to Ponder.
The matter Of quality Of the milk of
COWS has been pretty we'll settled by
tests in this country, and English au-
thority is in agreement with us. as
shown by deductions from their own
experiments, as follows:
That when Il COW is in full milk and
quality of milk, for at least limited
time, even though the quality and
quantity Of food be very deficient.
That when in good condition a cow
viii take off her body whatever is de-
fcient in food, in order to give her nor
mai quality Of milk.
That an extra supply Of nutritious
food at all times increases the guam
tity Of milk, but the percentage Of fat
is not in any way improved by it; if
anything, the tendency is the other
way
That an extra supply Of nutritious
food almost invariably very slightly
increases the solids not fat of the
milk. That ration poor in food in
gradients has very slight tendency
to reduce the solids not fat in milk
but has little appreciable effect ON the
fat.
That with q poor ration Z COW in full
weight will lose carcass weight, while
Oh rich diet she will gain weight.
That, although the percentage of fat
in n nj oil
at present seem unable to control these
variations or to account for them
That for limited periods, up to one
month or thereabout, all ordinary
quantities and qualities of food seem
to have no material effect on the
quality of the milk
That some foods exercise a material
effect in raising the melting point of
butter.
That the aim OF all producers of
milk, butter or cheese should be to
feed what will give quantity, in
moderate amount and Of mixed nature,
and the produce will be the best that
the COW can give.
That extra quality must be looked
for by improving the breeds and jul
dicious selection rather than by any
special foods or methods of feeding.
That the variations in the percent
age Of fat in a cows milk are caused
by something, but what that some
thing is we at present do not know,
though if we did we might be able to
influence the quality.-Farlners Advo-

SteriIize Milk Cans.

An interesting test Of the effect of
cleaning milk cans, making them germ
free by the use Of steam before milk is
poured into them, has been made in
Germany. Some time during hot sum-
mer weather two milk cans were Sc
lected; one was thoroughly we'll
cleaned in the ordinary way by scrub
bing with hot water; the other was
subjected to the action of steam for
half an hour. In the first the milk
went sour in twenty-three hours; in
the second, twenty-eight and one-half
hours, and the contents of the first can
were found to contain twenty-six times
as many bacteria as the other. The
same experiment repeated in the win
ter showed that the sterilized milk can
will keep the milk sweet for nine hours
longer than the other

SILOS AND SELAGE

There are several points that must
be closely observed in making silage If
it is to be we'll preserved, and the
neglect of any one Of these will make,
in the final result the difference be-
tween success and failure. These es-
sentials are close packing when the
crop is at the proper stage of ma
perfectly rigid walls If the sides of
the silo are not air tight the air which
passes through will cause the silage
to spoil, and if the walls are not per-
fectly rigid the pressure of the silage
will cause them to spring <out, allow
ing the air to enter between the silage
and the wall. In either case the re-
suit will be the same-decayed silage.
Bulletin Illinois Experiment Station:
The Size of SiIos.
Not more than eight square feet of
surface should be allowed for each
COW in winter; then, when feeding for
ty pounds of silage per COW, a layer
about one and a half inches deep would
be fed off daily. When silage is fed in
summer it is advisable that the ex-
posed area be not over half this size,
SO that a layer three inches deep NAV
be used daily. However much stock
is to be fed, silo twenty to twenty
two feet in diameter is as large as
should be built. If silo is of greater
diameter than this, much of the silage
is at too great distance from the door,
increasing the labor of removal
Amount of SiIage Per Cow.
The number of tons Of silage needed
can readily be estimated from the size
Of the herd and the amount to be fed
daily. Even where it is desired to feed
as much silage as possible not more
than forty pounds per COW should be
fed daily. Silage will usually be need
ed about 200 days. Each COW should
have an allowance then of 200 times
forty pounds, which is 5000 pounds
OF silage, or four tons per COW for the
year. A herd of ten COWS will require
silo holding forty tons; a herd Of
thirty cows 120 tons; fifty COWS 200
tons; hundred cows 400 tons.
A Word For the SiIo.
A Tennessee farmer writing in
Hoard's Dairyman says of the silo: 81
want to urge my brother dairymen,
especially small ones like myself, who
are in the business not for glory, but
for the actual living there is in the
business, to no longer neglect the silo,
but build and fill this fall without fail
and they will never regret it,

Defects In Milk.

The common defects in both butter
and cheese are largely due to the dirt
which gets into the milk at milking
time either from dust in the air or by
carelessness of the mixer in the stable.
Sour strainer cloths and sour tinware
also contribute germs which may de-
velop bad flavor in both butter and
cheese. Every cheesemaker knows how
absolutely necessary it is to have clean
and perfectly sweet milk for making
cheese which he can guarantee will
bring the top market price. The same
thing is also true with the buttermaker.
The quality of the product is almost
entirely within the makers control
when he is supplied with milk that is
absolutely pure.

Feeding Calves.

Don't feed the calves from the trough
at the same time. Calves, like men,
do not all drink at the same speed.
One will gulp down three times as fast
as another when all are fed together.
One gets three times as much as he
should, while another gets only half as
much as he needs. This isn't ALL The
calf that gets the small allowance
goes hungry, yet is more fortunate
than the one that gets too much, for he
is blessed with good digestion, while
the other suffers with the stomach
ache, and is Inconvenience with bal
loon middle piece.-Farmer.

A Hint For Lovers.

Being in love- is very different
from loving and may be only a selfish
emotion, which is the direct opposite
of loving. Being in love without low
ing is ndage-sometimes pleasant
and sometimes painful, but always
bondage, says Leslies Monthly. True
loving means freedom-freedom both
for ourselves and, as far as it is in our
power to give it, for all whom we love,
for when we truly love another human
being we love him for the sake of his
best strength, his best use and his best
happiness, and not at all for the sake
Of ourselves.

of it anticipate under the test of time,
it solves the problem Of a cheap, safe
and indestructible silo. The cost per
ton of storage capacity is certainly rea-
sonable. The device for strengthening
the blocks appears to be sufficient.
When laid up, the notches in the ends
of the blocks are filed with soft ce-
ment, which helps materially to make
the wall strong.

Working the Butter.

Two workings are enough for almost
any butter. Work first so as to incor-
porate the salt thoroughly, then allow
to stand long enough for this salt to
dissolve, when it is ready for the Sec
ond working. The working is COM
pleted when all the white creases dis
appear. This can be determined by
cutting with the ladle and holding up
to the light.-American Agricultural.
