Profit From Dairy Products.

The Maryland Experiment Station
has been making tests as to profits
in selling dairy products, as milk, cream
and butter. This test shows that cream
is one Of the most profitable forms of
SALE when 90 per cent cream can be
sold at 90 cents a gallon, and even at
this low price returns 231a cents per
pound for tine butter in the milk, be-
sides leaving the skimmilk for use ON
the farm OF course, cream can be US
ualIy sold for more than so cents per
gallon. 1t appears that milk shipping
is ordinarily more profitable than but
ter. Thus II cents per gallon for 3R
per cent milk is equal to 2312 cents per
pound for butter, while at Is cents per
gallon for $50 per cent milk the but
ter is sold at 32h cents per pound.
In selling cream at 20 cents per gal
Ion the price obtained is equal to 33
cents for the butter. but creameries
never pay this amount, and no home
made butter brings any such price ex-
cept for very few gilt-edge makes.

Homemade barometer.

Those who love experimentation may
try the following method Of making a
cheap barometer, as practiced IN
France: Take grams of pulverized
grams Of pulverized nitrate
of potassium, 2 grams of pulverized
nitrate of ammonia and dissolve in GU
grams of alcohol. Put the whole in a
long. slender bottle, closed at the top
with a piece of bladder containing a
pinhole to admit the air. When rain is
the solid particles will tend
to mount, little star crystals
forming in the liquid, which otherwise
clear; if high winds are ap-
the liquid will become thick
as if fermenting, while film of solid
particles forms on the surface; during
fair weather the liquid will remain
clear and the solid particles will rest
at the bottom.

wood and not slip off. This hook needs
one or two links. A hardwood peg is
placed in the upright back of the crank,

position at one end as near the center

Individuality of Cows.

While there are slight individual
differences in digestive efficiency
among cows, extensive experiments
have shown that these are insufficient
to account for the widely variable re-
turns made by similar cows from like
quantities Of the same kind of food
The results obtained in tests Of this
kind are emphatic. 1t has been
shown that, of two cows Of apparently
the same merit, from superficial exam
nation one may return three times as
much as the other from given
amount Of similar foods. They digest
ed their food equally well. 1t is a
well known fact that there are indi-
vidual likes and disIikes among cows,
which necessitates an intimate knowl-
edge of each COW if best results are to
follow. Occasionally a cow will make
her best performance upon q ration
not suited to the other members OF
the herd. These matters are of con-
tinual interest to the dairymen, who
should safeguard himself at all times
by keeping at least approximate rec
ords Of food consumed and product
yielded by each observation-disclosures

ENGLISH MILK WAGONS.
Gorgeous Floats with Brass Churns and
Ben Hur Drivers.

In English towns, a Canadian visitor
declares in The Queen, the foreigner
runs out to the pavement just to see
that glorious chariot called a milk float
go by-that gay bit of two wheeled
thing. white and yellow, white and blue,
or red, white and blue, with the shining
brass churn erect at the side, the reins
coming over the shining brass rail in
front. the little square seat inserted at
the rear. and the charioteer standing at
the back like Ben Hur and driving as
much like that hero as--in modern
town where even motor cars are not un-
known-is practicable.
Then the English milkman who comes
on foot. with modern yoke on his
shoulders. and swinging at each side

little measuring dipper. Who could wish
to have milk delivered in glass bottles,
with paper sealed top, when he can
have it measured out at his door into
fashion? What do microbes amount to
compared with the joy of the mediaeval.

WHEN THE WHALES EAR ACHES.
Leaps Out of the Water Due to the Tor

1t was q story told by whaler who
retired from the sea when the catch of
the deep sea game had so fallen off that
there was no longer any profit in a cap
tain's lay even with the added earnings
from the sop chest. But as it has been
confirmed by the biologists of the fish
commission the truth of the story is un-
aSSailable.
When the whales were still frequent
along the lanes of passenger travel
across the western ocean nothing was
more common than to see the great
beasts hurting their tons of bulk clean
out of the waves and after Il fight
through the air falling back into the sea
with an enormous splash and jets Of

crab of about the size of that which is

the whale it infests the inner surface OF
the eyelids and the ear. BY swift rushes
on the surface the whale is able to clear
his eyes, but the crab in the inner ear

FRENCH WOMAN A SCOUT.
Nine. May Risked Her Life to Gain In
formation and Garry Dispatches.

An application for a license to open a
tobacco bureau has brought to public
notice in France Il forgotten war heroine,
Mime. May, who in 1870 distinguished
herself by series of daring exploits.
She was born in 1914 near lie Mans
and was living at Metz at the time the
war broke out. She offered her services
as a scout and was accepted. At first
she drove about the country in q cart
and after some time adopted masculine
attire, which would permit her more
easily to move about among the soldiers.
Her cleverness in avoiding detection,
as well as her courage, was soon recOg
nized, and she was charged with carry
ing important dispatches to the furthest
outpOsts along the frontier villages,
which exposed her constantly to the risk
of being caught and shot as spy.
She was i'll fact captured one day as
she was carrying three important mes
sages through the enemy's lines to the
commander of the besieged forces at
Thionville. She was searched by the
Germans, who, to their honor be it said,
treated her most decently and sent her
away free but with strict orders not TO
cross their lines again.-Paris Cor Lon

The Care of Goldfish.

The secret of success in caring for

fresh and sweet. Their globe should be
emptied and it's water renewed as often
as every second day. Lift each fish out

globe. wash it out, then put in fresh
water and put the fish back again. Clear,
sweet rainwater should be used and its
temperature should be raised to 70 or
so degrees by warming part of it.
Sparkling well water is too cold for the
fish to thrive i'll, and too pure, for the
