is related by the friend, who says:
THAT was, of course, in the early
days, and Mr.. Edison was then quite
the inventor that one reads of-poor,
enthusiastic, never sleeping. He lived
in small house, innocent of any
thing approaching laboratory. Scien-
tific devices were in every room. and
all the money went for experiments.
Then one day came the crisis in the
guise of the collector for the gas COM
pany. He had been in the house of
ten, but Edison, hardly needing his
calls, had waved him away, saying.
Don't bother me-!
'On this last call the collectors in
structions were peremptory He must
turn off the gas He did so, and that
act started Edison on the road to the

large decrease Of milk flow. For all
such cases | prescribe the following old
fashioned remedy, which has proved
almost a specific for this disease: One
pound of sulphate of soda or glauber
salts, a heaping tablespoonful of pull
verified ginger and two Of common
salt. This is dissolved in two quarts
of hot water and given carefully and
slowly as a drench. After forty-eight
hours give a half pound of the salts
in the same manner.
Should the case seem obstinate give
another half dose after another forty
eight hours. This salt is one of the
best liver tonics for cattle and is al
most a specific for garget. Very often
we are called to cases where we find
badly swollen udder, a partial or en-
tire suppression of milk flow and other
conditions that would lead US to say
the case was garget. A few questions
revealed the fact that some of the
teats were INSTRUCTED and straw.
knitting needle or some other inStru-
ment had been used to open up the
teat, with the result of a case of acute
mammitis. Such cases are not garget
and seldom recover. The injured and
diseased quarters become indurated
and never produce milk again.

WASHING THE BUTTER.
Temperature of Water Should BE
About Fifty Degrees.

No harm whatever is done to butter
by washing in water colder than the
contents of the churn-provided it is
not akin to ice water, which last has
the effect of chilling the butter grains
somewhat, and in working over it tends.
to hold an excess of moisture, as the
butter cannot be made sufficiently com
pact to express the surplus moisture
below the governmental limit of about
Is per cent. Water at about SO de-
greeS is sufficiently cold, floats out the
butter from the fluid mass, and the
second washing leaves the butter
ready for either the worker or, what is
better, working 1t in the churn, incor-
porating the salt at the same time
No attempt should be made to work
the butter into Jumps before incorpo-
rating the salt. Every 100 pounds of fin
ished butter has in it's makeup fifteen
pounds of water and six pounds Of
salt, so wet butter cannot be oversalted
unless SO much is added that this fif
teen pounds Of water cannot dissolve
it and the butter is filled with undis-
solved salt. Add as many ounces of
salt to this wet butter as you had
pounds the previous churning, and you
will not go very far from correct
sailing of the butter.-Rural New
