Rusty MIX Cans.

"Rusty cans and their effect upon
milk" Is the title Of very valuable
bulletin of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ex-
periments indicate that milk hauled in
the poorly timed or rusted cans Is ma
terially injured for cheese making, for
In addition to the retarding influence
Of the iron on the rennet action and
the naturalization Of the acid by the
, iron, it also produces taints or offfav-
Ors. The milk cans used to haul milk
to our creameries and cheese factories
are too often Of a cheap grade, and
they are used too frequently after they
have become tainted, and the tin be-
comes cracked and checked so that the
iron Is exposed and rusts. In these ex-
periments, milk was placed In rusty tin
cans and allowed to stand for different
periods. Willie other samples OF the
same milk were kept in glass beakers.
Every time that this experiment was
repeated, the milk kept in the rusty
cans gave evidence of a retarding int1u-
ence on the rennet as compared with
the milk kept In the glass beaKer. MILK
which was allowed to stand In iron
utensils for several hours had pecu-
liar blush color, indicating the pres
ence Of iron In the solution. 1t was
evident that the acid in the milk acted
upon the iron and dissolved some Of 1T.
The maximum quantity of iron dis
solved In the milk ranged from / to
~ pounds for every thousand pounds
Of milk.
The Bulletin urges that the managers
of cheese factories and creameries see
that the operator is reliable man,
who will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten-
sis and those Of the patrons are in
first-class condition. He advocates the
use Of only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been well tin
ned, similar to those used in Europe.
Experience has proven that the cans
of the best quality, even though they
are quite expensive, are the most eco
nomical in the long run.

Dom Pedro-s Little Joke.

Dom Pedro l., Emperor of Brazil
was one of royalty's strong men. On
the occasion of carnival he arranged
matters so that he was standing on the
bow Of the ROYAL barge between two Of
his StatelieSt courtiers.
Suddenly, in the midst Of the festivi-
ties the King reached out, grasped a
courtier with each hand, and, after
holding them for few moments
squirming in the air and begging to be
released, he relaxed his grip and al
lowed them to drop plump into the
water, amid the frantic applause of tn )
huge crowd that had assembled to view
their monarch. The King joir I'd heart
lily in the general hilarity; but what
the drenched courtiers thought about
this exquisite joke is not recorded.

A course in life-saving has been In
stituted among the women students Of
Columbia University for the purpose Of
making them as adept as men in res
cuiLS drowning persons. They receive
the regular life-saving drill, including
the grips and breaks, towing to shore
and artificial respiration. A fully
dressed girl is thrown into the water at
one end of the swimming tank, and
other girls are obliged to rescue her
from the opposite end and take her
back, which is already done in 81 sec
onds. This new departure in co-educa-
tion has become immensely popular.

Fnru, Fowls.

Fowls on the farm should in the very
nature Of things be the most profitable
of all fowls. They cost little to feed
and the space they range over costs no
fowls. Most Of them have free range
and forage for their food this is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls.
Most farm docks are too small. They
might easily be increased in size with
little effort and small expenditure. II
has been said that fowl will pay Il
dollar year clear profit under such
conditions as prevail on the avera &c
farm if they are rightly housed and
cared for. This is surely large enough
a profit to be interesting to any farmer
Usually the farm fowls do not get cred
it for all they really do, for the farmer
seldom figures in the eggs and other
poultry products used by his own fam
lily. which make quite an item in thf
course of year.
Not only the quantity should be IN
creased but also the quality. There are
vastly greater possibilities for profit III
pure-brcd fowls than in scrubs. They
look better, weigh and lay better, and
really are better in every way.-Agri,

A Safety Device.

A simple and effeCtual way to block
wagon on a mountain road when
drawing heavy load is to fasten a
piece OF 4x4inch scantling to the rear
axle so that 1T just drags on the ground
behind the wheel. When the wagon
starts back it stops against the block.
Fastcn the block with heavy eye and
staple near the wheel so that when not
in use it may be swung up out of the
way and hooked to the axle near the
opposite wheel.

In 1881 the potato was introduced
into Europe by the SpaniardS. who
found it in Chile. At almost the same
date it was introduced into England
by the English, who had found it cul-
tivated by the Indians of North Amer
lea. The sweet potato aud the arti-
choke are also American vegetables.
Satisfy is found growing Wild over
Greece, Italy and Algeria. Turnips and
radishes came originally from Central
Europe. Cabbage, which is of remote
origin. is believed to be European
vegetable. Asparagus found its origin
in temperate Western Asia. Eggplant
came to us from India. The carrot
grows wild throughout Europe, Asia
