manual labor as degrading. Intelli

the North, knowing and properly
estimating their own worth, would
not come here to work, and our own

remedy is plain. We must
come down to it ourselves, and up to

MINCLING THE MILK OF DIFFERENT Cows
vt a recent meeting OF the dairymen one of
the members gave some interesting details in
regard to experiments in mingling the milk
and cream of different breeds lie found
that the mixed milk from two breeds will
not produce as much butter rs will the same
milk churned separately. The explanation.


Is i n the variation in the size Of the slobues
When large globuled milk and small
globuled milk are churned together the lar
ger globules separate first into butter, and
the breaking of the smaller globules appears
to be retarded. When, therefore, a jersey
COW is kept in an Ayrshire or Dutch herd
for the purpose of influencing the color of
the butter, the larger globule- Of the jersey
milk are broken first in the churn, and. while
the smaller glObuleS are being broken. the
butter which makes first Is being overchurn-
ed, and-theoretically, AT least the quality
of the result i impaired, if not the quantity
lessened. When few Ayrshire or Dutch
cows are kept in herd of Jerseys and the
milk churned together, both theoretically
and practically, large portion Of the butter
of the small globuled milk Is left in the but
termilk in 4 state of gIobules. \ like ap-
plication may be made to herds of native or
cows. Unless there is uniformity with GER
tain limits in the milk globule there Is loss
of product. When uniformity is 50 seldom
found in the external shapes of 4 grade or

greater uniformity exists between their func-

How To Boil MEAT.-lf we wish to cook
meat in such a way as to preserve the maxi
mum of nutriment in the most digestibe
form, we should place it in large pieces in
boiling water, and keep it there for five min
utes. The high temperature coagulates the
albumen at the surface of the meat stops up
its pores, and thus prevents the juice from
escaping. After this boiling for about FIVE
minutes. add enough cold water to reduce
the heat to about 80 degrees Fahrenheit,
and keep it at that temperature till the meat
is sufficiently cooked. 1t will then be found
to be tender, juicy, savory and nutritious.
Salted meat, intended to be eaten cold,
should be allowed to cool in the water in
which it has been boiled.
