Food by Chemistry,
rhiladclphia has a chemist who be
lieves that meats of all sorts and flav

laboratories of the chemist. Says he :
"Within this century I expect to see
synthetic steaks, roasts and chops en
tered upon tho bills of fare at onr
leading hotols and restaurants, and
they will be preparod so artistically as
to appeal to the sense, of beauty as
well as to the appotite. At first, of
course, in order to appease tho natu
ral prejudices against anything so
novel, a choice will lie afforded be
tween the real and artificial ; bnt
eventually tho killing of animals for
food will be regarded in all civilized
countries as barbarous. That this is
not an absurd prediction is well ts
sured to thoso who have observed what

in exactly reproducing mustard, sugar,

TOO MCCH WASHING.
Now and Ihon ns ono looks over the
pnges of the dairy paper they will be
couironted witii the statement from
Borne one to the effect that flavor can
be washed out of butter, therefore
don't do it: and then the other
fellow laughs and savs: "Listen to
the old fogy." It is more than possi
ble that there is more than a grain of
truth in the matter, and butter can be
washed too much and that a compro
mise can be struck to the advantage
of tho two parties.
A of that it is known that butter fats
have Ho flavor, and what is known as
aroma in butter is the result of the de
composition of the casein and sugar,
egged on by the albumen, it is seen
that with very cold water and exces
sive washings, that the buttermilk that
has the flavor in its keeping, could be
so thoroughly removed that the fats
would be practically left destittito of
associated flavor. As it would be im
possible to get ont all of the butter
milk, the butter would in a short time
develop another stock of flavor from
the traces of casein and albumen that
would yet remain.
In usual practice there will ba a suf
ficient amount of flavoring material
left in the butter after two washings,
and as a rule does not impair the flavor.
But this flavor means one thing in one
sectton, and quite another in a distant
part of some dairy locality. Where a
proLounoed Uavor is wanted, less wash
ing should be given and full salting,
but where delicate aroma and bonquet
flavor is sought, more washing and
less salt, and worked down to a possi
ble ten per cent, of moisture would be
tho correct "form." Practical Far
mer. BOW TO EXAMINE A HORSE'S H00F9.
To examine the hoofs and heels of
your horses, says an eminent veterin
ary authority, have the shoos removed
before your eyes, examine the "frog,
look into it clowly to see if "thrush"
exists. Have a piece of thin stick, or,
better an old paper knife, pass it
through tho center frog cleft, then, if
"thrush exists, the "nose will know
it by the smell of tho paper knife. If
thrush does exist, have the foot washed
out clean with warm water and car
bolic soap, then dry it off and apply
calomel. Fix it in the cleft with some
medicated oottoD, or raw will do. Be-
peat this every night until a cure is
effected.
Next examine the heels, the inside
heel especially, foi corns may exist,
and now is the time to treat them and
prevent lameness in summer time.
when the roads are hard and dry, and
you have use for every horse you own.
Look for sand cracks and quarter
cracks. Let these have attention at
once, or the dry weather and roads
will open these cracks, creating trouble
some lameness. Have shoes well seated,
bo that the weight of the animal will
rest on the horny wall of the hoof and
not on the sole. A ever allow the wall
of the hoof to be rasped. It is wrone.
The ontside of the hoof is of a fine,
delicate nature, made np of fine horny
pillars. This outside surface is verjr
smooth and shinv, although it may
not look so, but when you examine an
unsophisticated colt you will find it
so. ihe smith will get his rasp on it.
it you do not look out, and then we
have sand and quarter cracks.
Take care that the nail holes are
high enough without being too high,
at the heels most especially, for this
binds the hoofs and causes a horse to
go like a cat on hot bricks. A good,
firm clip at the toe is of great service
in keeping the shoe firm, aud when
the shoe "fits tho foot" it will keep it
in its proper place till worn out.

FEEDING THE COWS,
There is a great deal being said and
written now-a-days about standard ra
tions for cows, and much science is
brought into requisition to make those
rations oorrectly balauced to tit the
physical requirements of the cows.
Every young farmer who hopes to be
come successful in dairying should
study such tables and become aucus
tomed to the technical termt, so that
he will know just what they mean
wherever he sees them. Having done
this, he should learn tho cost of dif
ferent cuttle foods delivered on his
ferm, whether raised or purchased.
Knowing this, he should theu make
his own standard ration, and when
ever he cannot get the materials for
inuking that standard without paying
too much, he must look for substi
tutes in kind and quulity.
Tho ration, as estimated, is most
conveniently tho food for twenty-four
hous for a oow weighing between eight
hundred and one thousand pounds.
This much cau be done with books,
aud is a very useful part of the loou.
Tht ruul tt at went lu this vork
SOrtlCI ffVIU tliU actual fctid'tlg ul tile
cows. The rations may be most sci
entifically correct, aud fed in exact
proportions and yet fail to produce
or return tho first cost, which should
not have exceeded from fifteen to
twenty cents a day per cow. The bost
dairymen claim to mako butter worth
fifty cents a pound on a ration not ex
ceeding thirteen cents a day. But it
will bo seen that when tho ration costs
twenty cents, tho cow must givo at
loast ono pound of butter a day in
order to pay her board bill and do
much better this, if any money is to
be mado out of her.
With a cow in good condition, fat
and fresh, and the ration properly
mixed, the test may bo said to have
just beguu. Tho individual charac
teristics of each cow are not to bo
studied. One will find big enters and
small eaters, big milkers and small
milkers, rich milkers and thoso that
give thin, poor milk. All the vir
tues, or all tho faults aro not to bo
found in any single cow. A general
average must bo reached. For this do
as little guessing about them as pos
sible. Weigh the milk of each cow at
every milking, and test tho butter fat
in the milk often enough to loam
what her standing is. Now comes
tho vital point of how much to feed
her. Having learned this, the work
will not have to bo repeated during
her life.
When a ration is made to suit tho
standard, then apply it to each cow in
turn. Note the cow's weight, and
start with a small quantity of feed,
daily increasing it up to the full
amount that she can be induced to
eat up clean. Hold her at this heavy
feed for a few days and see at what
point in tho increase of feed she re
turned tho greatest profit. If you can
get no satisfactory results, theu chango
the proportions of ration. If she is
very thin in flesh, increaso tho fat
forming parts of the ration. Keep ex
perimenting with the cow until satis
fied that she cannot be made profit
able, then put her out of the herd.
One good way to determine what part
of tho ration to increaso, is to first
feed the cow about all she will eat and
then try and tempt her with handfuls
of bran, corn meal, oil meal, or what
ever makes np the ration, to see
which she seems to need the most.
Such tests are never conclusive, but
they often lead to good results. The
point is to study the cows. Lach ono
has a different nature from the other,
and the only way to make money with
them is to get a thorough knowledge
of each erne and then treat each in
such a manner that she can returruall
that she is capable of doing. To make
money one must have good cows, well
fed up to their extreme limit of profit,
and then mako a good article of milk,

An ill-fitting harness often makes

The time to o into business is
when everybody else is going ont.
Plant food can nowhere be so
cheaply obtained as from barn yard
manure. Ihis is particularly true
when the latter cau be had for tho
gathering.
Hens are in tho best condition to
lay when their crops are empty. Hence
they should bo fed sparingly during
the day, but have a hearty meal given
them at night.
By using a bit that hurts you will
teach a colt to dread the bit and shrink
from it This should never be. He
should be taught to drive up well on
the bit and yield a quick obedienoe to
it.
In several comparative trials made
by the Ontario (Canada) Experiment
Station best results wero obtained
trom sowing turnips in drills twenty
inches apart and thinning to eight
inches in the rows.
Now is the time to bo giving special
attention to the rams intended for use
next fall. ' Keep them healthy and fat,
and if they are given a little grain
from time to time they will relish it
and it will help them.
Corn grown for forage or ensilage
should be planted sufficient distance to
allow a good growth of ears, and the
best sage to cut to secure the most
dry matter is when the grains have
glazed, oi" dented in dent varieties, or
when newly ripo.
Sunflower seed, it is well known, ia
a good egg producing food for chick
ens; it is also fine food to give the
plumage a glossy appearanoo for ex
hibition purposes. The Bussian sun
flower is very productive, and may bo
planted in fence corners or out-of-the'
way places.
It is said that peach yellows may bo
largely if not wholly avoidod by the
use of potash not the meagre 10J
pounds per acre, but an application ot
ten times that amount. Proof of this
statement is offered in the fact that
peach trees grown on new laud are al
ways healthy and vigorous.
A dry cow should be fod well
enough to keep her in good oondition,
but not so well as to make her fat.
It is not to be forgotten that th con
dition of the calf depends greut y on
that of the cow, and that this will
suffer before the cow does if the food
is not sutlicieut to ni'iiutaiu both in
good health.
Professor Robertson has ascertained
that by churning sweet cream at forty-

about thirty minutes longer to do th.i

at from fifty-four to fifty-five degrees
in summer and fifty-eight to sixty de
grees in winter.
At a meeting of the local branch of

"All shrnnk-np and absolutely good
for nothing," said the mother of
family as she looked over the stock of
snmmer flannels bought with tho ut
most care and at great expense. "And
the worst of it all is that, say what I
will, I cannot got my flannols washed
carefully. One ol my laundresses is an
enthusiast on cold water ; anot her has
always regulated her work by the
thermometer, and the third declares
it makes no difference whether the
Water is hot or cold, they will shrink
anyhow, and I do not think that there
is any wonder that they do, consider
lng the way they handle thenl.
"These women, good, careful souls,
every one of them, put tho flannols
onto the washboard and literally maul
them and grind them in their efforts
to make them clean, all of which is as
unnecessary as it is rniuous. Some
times in despair I do them myself, aud
the consequences are that they do not
shrink. I use suds, pretty strong, and
with a very little sal soda in it, aud
just as hot as I, by any possibility,
can handle the flannels iu it. If it
is nearly boiliug, so much the better.
I pnt tho flannels in tho tub, pour on
tho suds, cover them up and let them
stand for fifteen minutes, then tako
them np by belts or oollars as gingerly
as possible with my very finger-tips,
let the water drain from them, dip
them again end repeat tho draining
process.
"If there are any particularly dirty
spots, I have soap dissolved in water
to a pasty consistency and put a bit
of it on the spots and leave them a few
minutes longer. I do not rub tho
soap in, neither do I rub the flannels.
I simply rinse them up and down in
the water, and this not more than is
necessary to oloan thorn. When I
think they will do, I lay. them whero
thoy will drain nntil the water is
nearly out, then prepare fresh hot
suds and put thorn through iuthe samo
way. Under no circumstances would
I wring them or press thorn any more
than ia absolutely " necessary. They
are hung ont dripping, and, if it is
cold weather, they may freezo all they
choose. I have had my fine French
flannels brought in so stiff that they
would stand np against the wall, and
I havo some of them now that aro
worn to rags that are ns soft and pli
able as the day they were mado np.
Before the garments are fully dry
they may be ironed. Never use partly
oool irons nnd rnb them again and
again, for this is worse than the wring
ing and squeezing process, but take
an iron as hot as may be without any
danger of scorching, aud manage so
carefully that once passing over the
fabric will smooth it. In this way
flannels will last to a good old ago and
preserve their original qualify iuUok"

KOX-AIXOnOLlR TBEATVFKT OP DISRASB,
filr Benjamin Ward Rlohardson, M.D., In
the Inst quarterly number of tho Asolopind,
Blvos a summary of 500 casns Invited la tbo
London Temneranon Hospital from Maroh
31, 18i, to Maroh 31, 1H:H, from tha conclu
sion of which wa quote the following
"Hoferrlng ngnln to the mortality of tho
flvo hundred eases under review, I fool quite
content to rest on thn general results, lly
comparison with other hospitals, It would ho
easy to show that a mortality of 11.4 per
cent, out of so many examples of aoute and
serious disease Is as good a return as could
have been obtained in any other hospital.
Throughout there was no soleotlon of pa
tients for the trial. On the eontrary, the
instruction was for the resident stall to re
ceive every ease, however sovero, and so
soon as convalescence would allow for the
removal ot patients under recovery thnlr
beds were vacated at onoe ia or.lei that new
snd pressing occupants should bo ndmlttod.
Tho wnnls were always well ehnrged, there
fore, with parsons suffering from acute oi
very serious chronic disease. The general
result is. consequently, most satisfactory.
Nevertheless, I do not rest on tha general
outcome. Having no prejudice against alco
hol as a medicine, and having no duelro to
breathe a word that loans Improperly on ono
side or tho other, having no object In view
but to collect facts derived from natural ob
servation, I have questioned myself seriously
whether there was a single case ending
fatally that oouid havo been benellteJ shall
I snv saved by the administration ol alco
hol? Uuhosltatlngly and conscientiously, I
Ixilieve there was not. When I was accus
tomed to proscribe alcohol I should hnvo
prescribed It In every ouo of tho futal onses,
not, in all probability, with the expectation
that thoy would have reeovered under its
use as a matter of necessity, but from habit,
and from so ingrutned nn Idea that its em
ployment was such a necessity that it they
had died ia large numbers 1 should still bava
believed that its administration was right.
In like manner, and for the s imo reasons, I
should have administered aloohol largely in
the sixty pur oeiit. of eases that recovered,
nnd la tha twenty-four per oout. of cases that
Were relieved ; aud if any of those had died
I should not for a moment hnva assumed
that alcohol had anything to do with death.
I should also have been sure to have believed
that in every Instance where alcohol was
given, it hud assisted tha recovery j a bollef

intrepid mariuers have for centuries
olinrtod the vast ocean dovolopod a
stiddon fickleness to tho pole as soon
as the oompasa was placed aboard the

erratic have boeu tho noodlo'a devia
tions that, without froqttont compari
son with some known xtaudard, the
helmsman would have been afraid to
trust tho instrument as a nautical
guide over the trackless wators. For
the first tic a in tho history of naviga
tion au appliance has been invented
which seems to be absolutely accurate
and trustworthy in tho determination
of tho conrso of ships at sea. Lieu
tenant W. H. Uooohor, of tho United
States navy, appears to havo achievod
this triumph in his delicato and beau
tiful solarometor, the telescope of
which is so floated upon successive
layers of quioksilver, in a Teasel hung
upon gimbals, that tho heaviest sea
will evidently be unable to disturb its
dead level. The authorized Govern
ment deep sea trial of the first model
on the North German Lloyd steamer
Weimar will decide tho fato of the old
style compass.
The l'epsin Habit.
A Now York physician of promt
nouce remarked the other day to a
newspaper man that ho was not sur
prised to find that the pepsin habit is
raging just as furious to-day as tho
quinine habit did not long ago, as it
seems to bo human nature for pooplo
to make oontinual experiments on
thomsolves with medicine, with a blind
faith that a popular panacea will cure
afl the ills that flesh is heir to. Said
ho: "I have notieod that iu all the
penny-in-tho-slot machines devoted to
confections the popsin-gum boxes are
nearly always empty. I am told that
it is necessary to refill them several
times a day. Boys hawk it every
where in the streets, at the races, at
baseball games. It cannot do vory
much harm to a dyspeptic, but it cer
tainly does him no good. The amount
of pnre pepsin in a package ot this
gum ia infinitesimal." Xew Orleans

Origin ol Tea. ,
It is difficult nowadays to imajrina
how tho Japanoso maunged to live
without tea ; everybody driuks) it at
all hours of tho dny, and tho poorest
pooplo rarely get a chaurn of drink
ing anything stronger, and yet it irf,
as things wont in old Japan, a com
paratively recent introduction. Tea
was introduced with Buddhism from
China, and though some plants wero
brought as early as tha ninth century,
it was not much growu until tho end
of tho twolfth. Dnruma, au Iudinn
saint of tho sixth century, often rep
resented in Japanese art either cross
ing the ooenn on a ree l or sittiug a
monumeut of pationnc with his hands
in his sleeves, was tho father of tho
ten-plant. After years ot sbjnplcs
watching and prayer ho suddenly got
drowsy, and at last his eyelids elosod
and ho peacefully slept. When ho
awoke ho was so ashatuod of this par
donable weakness t mt ho cut oflT tho
offendiug eyelids and threw thum ou
tho ground, whero thoy instantly took
root and sprouted into tho slirub
