HEREFORD BULL.

twist very rarely renders satisfactory
account Of what he consumes so far as
flesh making is concerned. Handling
quality is also highly important. The
hide should neither be too thin nor too
thick It should have some body to it
and still be pliable under the hand.
Coarse, Wiry hair is objectionable as
indicating lack Of thrift.
These are only few of the funda-
mental points to observe in looking
for a high class bull. Pedigree, Of
course, enters into the matter Of value.

The Link of Sympathy BetwSen .
Vessel and a skipper.
Like all fine arts, sailing must be
based upon a broad, solid sincerity,
which. like a law of nature, rules an
ininity Of different phenomena, says
Joseph Conrad in the Booklovers Mag
aZine. Your endeavor must be single
minded You would talk differently to
a coal HEAVIER and to professor. But
is this duplicity? 1 deny it. The truth
consists in the genuineness Of the feel
ing, in the genuine recognition of the
two men, so similar and so different, as
your two partners in the hazard of life.
Obviously humbug thinking only of
winning his little race would stand a
chance of profiting by his deception.
Men, professors or coal beavers. are
easily deceived. They even have an
eXtraord nary knack of lending them
selves to deception, sort of curious
and inexplicable propensity to allow
themselves to be led by the nose with
tier eyes open. But with ship it is
not so. She is a sort of creature which
we have brought into the world, as it
were, on purpose to keep us up to the
mark.
IN her handling ship will not put up
with q mere pretender, as for instance,
the public will do with Mr.. X, the pop

enlist, or Mr.. Y, the popular-what

would like, though not accustomed to
betting, to wager large sum that not
one of the few first rate shippers of
racing yachts has ever been humbug.
It would have been too difficult. The
difficulty arises from the fact that one
does not deal with ships in a mob, but
with a ship as an individual. SO we
may have to do with men. But in each
of us there is some particle of the mob
spirit, of the mob temperament. No
matter how earnestly we strive against
each other, we remain brothers on the
lowest side of our intellect and the in
sta bility of our feeling
With ships it is not so. Much as they
are to us, they are nothing to each
other. Those sensitive creatures have
no ears for our Establishments. 1t takes
something more than words to cajole
them to do our will, to cover us with
glory-luckily, too, or else there would
have been more shoddy regulations for
first rate seamanShip.

Height OF Thunder Glands.

A great cumulous thunder cloud, tow
ering up on the horizon like a huge,
fambuoyant iceberg, is often higher
than the highest Alps would be if they
were piled on top Of the Himalayas
It is not unusual for these clouds to
measure five, six and even eight miles
from their fat, dark base, lowering a
mile Or two above the world, to their
rounded, glistening summit, splendid
in the sunlight. And in these eight
miles the changes of temperature are
as great as those over many thousand
miles Of the earth's surface. These
clouds contain strata of temperature,
narrow belts of freezing cold alternat-
ing with large distances of rainy mist
and frozen snow and ice particles.
HailStOnes, which are formed from a
snow particle that falls from the up
per strata andsis frozen hard in the
freezing belt and coated with added ice
on the wet belt, are often found with
a series of layers in their formation,
showing that they have passed through
this succession of cloud strata more
than once on their way from the upper
air to the h.-Philadelphia Inquirer

EnIiSktening General Sherman.

when General Sherman was on his
march from Atlanta to the sea-" said
an old timer, she had with him the
Eighth Missouri, noted for it's foraging
propensities Nothing was safe from
it's men. One day the generals for
ayers brought in some fine chickens,
and to make sure that the Missouri
men did not get them they were placed
in a corncrib only few rods from the
beat of a sentry But in few days the
whole bunch had disappeared. The
Eighth was suspected, but could not be
convicted. Years after the war at re-
union at Cincinnati General Sherman
met the major Of the Eighth and i'm
mediately after greetings said all would
be forgiven If the major would tell how
those chickens were taken. That's
easy said the major. The first very
dark night we sent squad of our best
foragers with the smallest fellow in
the regiment. Removing a slat from the
crib, he made an aperture large enough
to admit him. A cloth soaked with
chloroform, which our hospital sup
piled, applied to the head of a chicken
soon caused it to topple over, and It
was passed out for the bag. In this
way the birds were in a few minutes
transferred to our camp under cover
Of darkness absolutely without noise
The sentry was not bribed.' "-Colum-

Choosing q
e eff Bull

1t is impractical to set forth in fig
ures the proper measurements of
good bull. No good breeder thinks of
selecting breeding animals with tape
line, says Breeders Gazette A bull
should first of all have good, strong,
masculine head; the face should be
broad and short, the eye full and bright
and the horn strong and we'll set.
Long faced bulls are particularly to be
avoided in the beef breeds for the rea-
son that this formation ordinarily in
dicates an unsatisfactory feeder. The
ribs should be we'll arched and deep
and there should be no marked depres-
sion behind the shoulders. COnstitu-
ton comes before all things else and
this is dependent very largely on am

assimilative powers are very essential,
and these are indicated very largely

How rrichinaee Spreads Trichinae


Trichinae, like the bubonic plague, is
spread almost entirely through the me-
dunn of rats, says Major L. L. Seaman.
The hog on the farm is q great hunter
Of rats and eats his victims. He eats
the rats infected with trichinosis and
so contracts the disease. Other rats,
whenever they get the opportunity, eat
the carcasses of hogs which have died
of trichinOsis, and SO vicious circle is
established and continued from hog to
rat and rat to hog. Then again the rats
eat parts of other dead rats, and it is
also true in some cases that hogs may
eat parts Of other hogs that have been
infected with trichinae. So there are
really three circles in which this dis
ease moves-one is the large one, made
M of hogs and rats, and the others are
smaller, one of them being made up of
hogs and the other Of rats exclusively.
The two smaller ones, however, are
tangent to the larger circle and there
fore simply widen it's radius.

THE AROMA OF BUTTER.
Importance of Cleanliness In Secur-
ing Fine Flavor.


Importance of Cleanliness In secur-
ing Fine Flavor.
One may delay the doing of many
things without loss, but to put off
churning when the cream is ripe is not
In the list, writes an Ohio dairy woman
in American Agriculturist. The mis-
take must not be made Of thinking
that butter is made by churning 1t Is
being made from the time the milk is
drawn until it is churned. No amount
of doctoring will cure poor quality Of
butter. 1t is Of the utmost Importance
that the churn be scrupulously clean
and sweet smelling before using. IN
order to have it SO it must be washed
Immediately after using, scalded and
set where it will be thoroughly aired
and dried Rinsing in lime water oc-
casionaIly is Of benefit and will re-
move the musty Dogs which some
time linger around churns. The put
ting of cold water into the churn after
cleansing, as practised by some dairy
men, is not to be recommended, as d
very unpleasant odor will be developed
In a day or two, especially If the wealth
er is warm. After scalding the churn,
preparatory TO using, it must be rinsed
In cold water or else a woody smell
will be impaired to the cream. All
wooden utensils used in dairy work
should be washed in tepid water first
and afterward scalded, rinsed and
dried The 1ishcloth must never be
used in dairy work. If cloth is ever
necessary it must be for that one use
Woodenware can be cleansed more
rapidly, neatly and satisfactorily with
the aid of a brush; either rice straw
or bristle brush should be kept for tiltA
purpose alone.
We prefer to salt butter after it is
removed from the churn rather than
brine salt it. We salt at the rate OF
one and one-half ounces salt per pound
and think it adds to the keeping quail
ties of the butter better than the ounce
to the pound method. Patrons find no
fault with our butter SO prepared. We
work lightly, just enough to incorpo-
rate the salt evenly, without MASKING
and smearing it. We press and touch
it lightly and daintily, shape it or cut
it into any desired form and pack 1t
ready for market The sooner it is de-
livered the better.
The delicate aroma which all well
made butter has is very evanescent,
and when made in rolls or packages
exposure to the air soon dissipates this
delicate flavor. Cold storage does not
help TO retain this flavor. Packing i'll
Jars so as to exclude the air is the
only way to retain it. The market
value Of butter depends upon its flavor
more than any other quality. Appear
ance should be given due prominence,
but flavor is paramount.
