How to Test Milk.
Everyone- knows tlio dilTerenco in
milk. How to test tho milk Is
thus explained by one wlio has
. experimented for himself. It U ol no
rlittlo Importance to have at hand aeon
' ventent and reliable modo of testing
tho richness of milk. This is usually
done by thii mere rulo of "guess.
Thero is a moro reliablo way, within
(tho reach of all, and whereby anj per
ison may safely govern himself In do
elding upon which of any number of
milkmen ho will patronize, or which of
nny number of cows ho will purohaso.
Procure, nny long vessel a cologno
bolllo or n lorn phial. Tako a narrow
Btrln of paper, just tho length from tlin
neck to tho bottom of tho phial, and
mark it with one hundred lines at
equal distances) or. If moruconvcnlent,
into fifty linos, and count each lino ns
two, and paste it upon tho phial, so as
to divide Its length into n hundred
equal paits. Fill it to the highest
mark with milk fresh from tho cow,
and allow it to stand in a perpendicular
position twenty-four hours. The num
ber of spaces occupied by tho cream
will give the exact percentage in tho
milk, without any guess-work.
Wo tried the experiment Bovcral
years since, and found it valuable. Wo
gathered tho idea long ago from nu
agricultural paper, but wo carried tho
experiment further, by which wo lounil
the percentage of butter in tho cream.
Set the milk in a large dish, and col
lect say from one hundred to two hun
dred ounces of cream t make the but
ter, and tho porcentaco of butter in
tho cream can bo ascertained by tho
number of ounces of butter mado Irom
it.
As per example : If ono hundred
ounces of milk give ten ounces of
cream, and ten ounces ot cream givo
five ounces ot butter, we will have
learned that ono hundred ounces of
milk will civo five ounces of butter.
Such experiments aro worth being
made, and mado carefully. In no other
way do wo know what wo have in a
cow or milk, or what wo are buying.
In this way, also, wo may test tho exact
nutritive value of different kinds of
milk from our cows a very important
matter.
Farmers may deprive much benefit
by making a few simple experiments
now and then. 1 hey need not inter
fere with anv of tho recular duties of
the farm ; and nothing but a spirit of
habitual indolence of thought and action
will keep them from doing so. ouch
experiments often lead to important
results, and evoke interesting and in
structive facts. Farm, Field and

A Cheap Poultry House.
Experience hu proved that twenty
fowls, properly boused, provided with
suitable fond, pure water, clean nest
boxes, plenty of dust, lime in somo
form, and gravel, will return more
clear proht than buy, kept as they gen
erally are upon farmc
Suggest a good poultry house to the
average farmer, and frequently there
arises in his mind tho image of an ela
borate affair costing one hundred to
one hundred and fifty dollars. Hoi
being able to spare that amount for
such a purpose, he goes without, and
his poultry, exposed to the inclemen
cies of the weather, are a dead expense
full two-thirds of the vear. ealincr val
uable food constantly and yielding
nothing in return.
. A poultry house larco enough to
properly shelter twenty fowls can bo
erected at the very small cost ot $3.fo.
Wo civo a list of all the material
which, with tho exception of the sash,
cost three dollars and cigbty-hvu cents
The sash was taken from a hot-bed
that is used for sprouting sweet pota
toes in tho spring. When the sash is
required for the hot-bed the season is
mild and tho opening is covered with
boards. This structure is nine feet
wide, twelve feet long, and five feet
high in the center. The short side of
tho roof is two feet long, and tho long
side, which fronts south and comes to
within eighteen inches of the ground,
is seven feet
At the further end of tho roof boards
extend over an opening mado for tho
fowls to pass in and out. Tho perches
aro one toot above tho floor and extend
along the north side of the interior.
The bottom board on that side is hung
with hinges so it can be raised, and
the droppings under the perches scraped
out.
The nest boxes are arranged along
me low side, the dust box is placed in
the sunniest spot, and tho feed and
water troughs near tho door. Ono
pano of glass in the sash is loose so
that it may be moved down for venti
lalion. The floor should bo covered
with sand when obtainable, if not,
with straw, chatl, or other similar ma
terial that can be raked out when sou
ed. The whole interior should be rW
on a coat of fresh lime whitewash at
least four times a year, and the perches
swabbed with kerosene. Hens kept in
this house lay steadily all winter. The
poultry house here described is easily
oleaned, and answers the purpose near
ly as well as one costing twenty times
as much. uay star.
Heavy Milk.
''Most people do nolknow what heavy
milk is. It is the kind that will not
separate and raise all its cream u nder
ordinary conditions. Tho cream glo
bules aro so small and so nearly tbo
specifio gravity of the water ol the
milk that they do not separate and rise
to the surface. This kind of milk is
found in particular cows in all breeds,
but appears to bo more prevalent in
some breeds than in others, as Ayr
shires and Dovona. It is good milk for
family use, or for cheese, but not for
butter.
The discovery of this property of
milk was mado in Denmark since tho
invention and uso of the centrifugal
separators. Milk having this property
is found frequently in this couutry and
lias probably always existed without
being detected. Heating the milk to
near ono hundred degrees Fahrenheit
boforo setting partially overcomes the
trouble, though It is doubtful if this re
leases and throws up all the cream.
Tho contrifugal machines overcome
tho obstacle. -Farm Journal.
The Strawberry as a Window Plant.
To thoso who seek variety in their
window plauts tho strawberry makes a
pleasing contrast ; its bright, groeu
leaves, tho white clusters of flowers,
aud the numerous bunches of luscious
fruit, are all deeply interesting, and
tho developing of each affords quite as
much pleasure as tho growth of tho
leaves and tho expanding of the blos
soms of any of the flowering plants.
To have good plants for this purpose
the work should begin in August, or
earlier, if the nowly set plants begin to
throw out runners. Six-inch pots
should bo filled with good, lich loam
and set in the ground nt tho right dis
tance from the strawberry plants to re
ceive tho first now plant that frms j
when this geta well established it may ,
bo Fcparated from tho parent plnnt,
and all of tho pots containing young
plants thus established should be gath
ered up and set in some convenient
placo near together where they can bo
watered and carelully looked otter. JNo
runners should bo permitted to grow,
but the plant itself should bo stimulated
i it will orow'enoiiBh to fill thu pot
with stronir roots. Tho plants thus
grown should havo tho benefit of tho
first cold weather to ripen them up
after two or thrco cold nights if It is
found that most of the foliage is killed,
tho pots should be removed 10 a cooi
cellar whero thero is some light ( hero
thoy may bo kept until wanted to orna
ment tho window.
It Is not '.ho most satisfactory way
to bring tho plants all up nt ono time,
but it is better to bring up only a nor
tlon, thus thu plants of themselves
show a variety t ono set ol plauts show
ing tho green leave?, .toother the open
ing flowers, and still another tho ripen
ing fruit. JJy this plan llicy niways at
tract attention, and the reason of ripen
ed fruit very much lengthened.
It is surprising that a plant so inter
esting, so attractive, and in tho end
furnishing such luscious fruit, is not
moro frequently found among thu win
dow plants.
In growing tho strawberry ns a win
dow plant ono thing must ho leuiein
bercd, it need the sun lo make it an
attractive plant j in tho hIi.hIo or a par
tial shado tho leaves will look pale, rub
up stocks so long and small that tiny
will not be strong enough to support
the leaf, and so will drop down and
thus make an unsightly plant. Some
who havo tried to thus grow it havo
been led to discard it as an unsightly
plant, but when given plenty of sun
shine it is quite a different plant ; if it
is to be shaded by other plauts it had
better not be introduced, but if it can
be Given a position in front where it
can have plenty of room and sunshine,
u win maintain an iiuruuuvu npiviir
anco until tho fruit is ripe. Jfass.

Closed for Bepiire.
Tho young ladies and young gentle
men of a town in Western Pennsylva
nia aro said to bo standing round the
streets nt uight biting their finger-nails
and looking disconsolate because their
roller-skating rink is closed for repairs.
The ordinary old-fashioned plcasutes
of flirting on the sidewalks havo grown
tamo and in tho temporary ubsmico of
the moro xsthetio enjoyment of the
rink tho boys anil girls do not know
what to do witlt themselves.
They used to up to meeting and cast
sheep's eyes at eacli other across the'
pews and aisles during srrvico and
tako long walks after meeting, but tho
preacher s opposition to the rinks has
kindled a corresponding opposition to
tho preachers, and now the young peo
ple won't go to meeting oven for fun.
Tho repeated exhilarations of tho ska
tiug rinks have in a measure vitiated
tho known literary tastes of tho country
girls, so they are not at all inclined to
go back to evening readings. They
aro bound to have the skating rink.
If the young people, especially tbo
girls, would devote their leisure even
ings to mutual conversations about tho
possible improvements in future house
keeping j say, for instance, how can
wives cease to bo dowdy-lnsing in
their own house ; how- Can they learn
to dam stockings with neatness, and
no cobbling ; how can they learn thu
art of always keeping a house tidy and
clean and homelike, and how under
stand the science ot retaining their hus
band's affection and respect and other
minor matters of needed improvement,
tho temporary closing of a roller ska
ting rink would not worry them and
their finger-nails would not net bitten.
But it is hard to get thco ideas into
some young heads in theso days,

A Man Who was Imprisoned for Another
Man's Crime Set free After
live Years
After having been imprisoned live
years for a murder which he did not
commit, Henry Uigby has been reload
ed from the Chester, Illinois, peniten
tiary. Five years aco John Sinkler, a Ken
tuckian, was murdered at Digbytown,
a village m Hamilton County, III. lie
lived a few hours after receiving tlio
fatal wound and testified that he was
aroused suddenly from sleep and saw a
man standing in his room. He sprang
up in bed and asked the intruder what
ho wanted. A scufllo ensued and
Sinkler was shot, Tho murdeier fled.
Sinkler swore from his voice, ho be
lieved that the man who shot him was
Henry Digby, a son of John Digby, an
Englishman, witli whom Sinkler had
been boarding. Henry Digby was
convicted and sentenced to fourteen
years in the Chester penitentiary.
John Sinkler was to have been mar
ried the next Sunday to Eliza Digby,
Henrv's sister. Sinkler and his two
brothers, Richard aud Perry, were then
partners in business at Digbytown. It
was said that Richard was deeply in
lovo with his brother's betrothed wife,
and that he had sworn that no man
besides himself should over live with
her. Not long after John Sinklcr's
death and Henry Digby's conviction
Richard Sinkler and Eliza Digby were
mairied. About two years ago Rich
ard Sinkler got a life sentence to tho
penitentiary for muidering a man nt
Uellerievo. Ho confessed to two other
convicts that ho had murdeml his
brother John, besides killing two men
before coming to Illinois. Threo of
tho men whose testimony went far to
ward convicting Henry Dinby, were
afterward sent to the penitentiary for
various crimes. This statement was
verified and Digby was pardoned.
Digby was met at tho railroad station
by several hundred people and was es
corted home.
"What is laughter T" asks a scien
tist. It is what you don't hear whin
you find your wife sitting up for you
after the club.
When a man stays down town at his
oflicu until midnight trying to strike a
balanco ho generally loses it before ho
gots homo.
A squirrel in a wheel will run all day
in hopes that ho will overtake his tail.
Rut ho never does. There aro scons
of men in the Albany Legislature wl o
spend their timo in tho same absurd
maimer.
"Yes,1' said tho school girl, who had
arisen from tho lowest to thu highest
Iiosition in her class. "I shall have a
lorsoshoo for my symbol, ns it do
notoi having come from the foot."
Gioat things aro not accomplished
by idle dreams, but by years of patient
study,

Oases of Diphtheria.
Tho precautions to bo taken in tho
management of a well-marked ease ot
diphtheria are, or should be, generally
known, says the Sanitary Engineer
They havo been published as circulars
by many health boards and through
the secular and medical press, and may
be summed up as follows : Isolate the
patient in an airy loom having the
least possible amount of furniture, es
pecially that which is upholslcied and
having no carpet oremtains. Disin
fect all excretions and secretions, and
especially those lrom the throat, nose
and mouth, and all articles soiled by
them promptly, while they aro yet
moist, and thoroughly. Uso clean, soft
rags for receiving the discharges from
the noso and mouth, and burn them as
fast as soiled. If other articles aro
soiled, use solutions of chloride of zinu
or bichloride of mercury, tinder the in
structions of tlio physician. He espe
cially earetul as legards toys, peucils
or other at tides which may bo given
tho child for its amusement, of the ar
ticles used in giving it food or diink.
Everything that has touched the pa
tienl's lips, or that has been touched by
.tnvthiiig that has to-iched thu patient s
lips, is d.iiigeious.
When eonvnhsoi'iiCM has stt in do
not yield too soon to the impnitiinities
of the patient to bu allowed to t-ee his
friends or to go out, nor to your own
feelings of weariness nt tho long-continued
confinement. Above all things
do not, under tho excuse of giving
change of air and scene, send him oft
to soma other plae" to complete his ro
eowty j you might send dynamite
iboui thu country with scarcely more
risk. D.i not send tho child back to
bchool in less than six weeks after the
attack j ab jut two weeks afur you are
satisfied that he is entirely well is a
very good rub1.
