The Yfa jr« ol the Milkman.
l>oirymoti who are in tbo habit of
diluting their milk with water have
found out an iuKcnidiu plnn of circum
venting the public analysts. Under
tlio act ot Parliament they can request
tlnit their milk shall l»o Biialyzud by
the chemist* at Bomer»et ITonse, ami
this they now do. Their object is to
pain a little time, for milk quickly be
gins to ferment, and it is not possible
to tost with accuracy a decomposed
fluid, and say what it consisted of be
fore decomposition fet in. Dr. Wynter
Blythe instances a recent case of a
dealer who sold milk diluted with at
least per cent, of water. He
appealed to Somerset House, and
after a little delay Somerset House de
clared tlint there was no evidence of
the addition of water, so that the case
was dismissed. That lie had neverthe
less made no mistake in the matter
Dr. Blythe is certain, as the milk had
been subjected to au independent anal
ysis by Mr. Colwell, who agreed with
him. The only way out of the ditlieulty
would be for each sanitary authority
to have a freezing chamber, in which
reference samples of milk, etc., could
be frozen and preserved. Such a
chamber would also be found useful
for preserving meat supposed to be
diseased until the evidence on both
sides could bo heard by a court of
justice.—London News.
Food by Chemistry.
Philadelphia has a chemist who be
lieves that meats of all sorts and flav
ors will ultimately be produced in the
laboratories of the chemist. Says he :
"Witliiu this ceutnry 1 expect to see
synthetic steaks, roasts and chops en
tered upon the bills of fare at our
leading hotels and restaurants, and
they will be prepared so artistically as
to appeal to the sense of beauty as
well as to the appetite. At tirst, of
course, in order to appease the natu
ral prejudices against atij'tliing so
novel, a choice will bo afforded be
tween the real and artificial, but
eventually tho killing of animals for
food will bo regarded in all civilized
countries as barbarous. That this is
not an absurd prediction is well f.s
sured to thoso who have observed what
synthetic chemistry has already done
in exactly reproducing mustard, sugar,
butter, ice, lemon juice and fir.vorin j
essences, besdes madder, turpentine
and many other compounds used ex
tensively in commerce."

DO NOT DROWN THE PLANTS.
Even in dry weather stagnant water
is injurious to plants, in part because
it drowns them by shutting off tho
air, just as it does with human beings.
The fine fibres of tho root system and
the still finer cells called root hairs,
are both the lungs and stomach of tho
plants. They take plant food from tho
soil, and oxygen from tho air which
permeates the soil. Tho leaves are in
ono sense also lungs, as they take car
bonic acid from the air; but it is tho
roots which take oxygen as do human
lungs. If the soil is loose and partially
dry, these root lungs can breathe and
do their work ; but when the soil is
kept well soaked and tho air is thus
kept out, the underground plant or
gans fail to work, and soon decay.
Soil which has a loose well-drained
surface encourages root extension,and,
at the same time, admits plenty of air
for them to feed upon. Soil which is
too cold and moist is likewise unfavor
able to tho action of the living mi
crobes, which change over tho chem
ical elements in the soil, and adapt
these elements to the use of the
plants.—Massachusetts Ploughman.
TOO MUCH WASHING.
Now and then as OJIO looks over the
pages of the dairy paper they will be
confronted with the statement from
some one to the effect that flavor can
be Washed out of bntter, therefore
don't do it; and then the other
fellow laughs and says: "Listen to
the old fogy." It is more than possi
ble that, there is more than a grain of
truth in the matter, aud butter can be
washed too much and that a compro
mise can be struck to tho advantage
of tho two parties.
Notf that it is known that butter fats
have Oo flavor, and what is known as
nroma 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 destitute of
associated flavor. As it would be im
possible to get out all of tho butter
milk, the butter would in a short time
develoji another stock of flavor from
the traces of casein and albumen that
would yet remain.
In usual practico there will ba a suf
ficient amount of flavoring material
left in tho butter after two washings,
and as a rule does not impair the flavor.
But this flavor means one thing in one
section, and quite another in a distant
part of some dairy locality. Where a
pronounced flavor is wanted, less wash
ing should bo given and full salting,
but where delicate aroma and bouquet
flavor is sought, more washing and
less salt, and worked down to a possi
ble ten per cent, of moisture would bo
tho correct "form."—Practical Far
mer.
NOW TO EXAMINE A HORSE'.S HOOFS.
To examine tho hoofs and heels of
your horses, says an eminent veterin
ary authority, have the shoes removed
before your eyes, examine tho "frog,"
look into it closely to see if "thrush"
exists. Have a piece of thin stick, or,
better an old paper knife, pass it
through the center frog cleft, then, if
"thrush" exists, tho "nose" will know
it by the smell of the 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 cotton, or raw will do. Re
peat this every night until a euro is
effected.
Next examine tho heels, tho 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
yon have nse for every horse you own.
Look for sand cracks and quarter
cracks. Let these have attention at
once, or tho dry weather and roads
will openthesecracks, creating trouble
some lameness. Have shoes well seated,
so that the weight of the animal will
rest on the horny wall of the hoof and
not on the sole. Never allow the wall
of the hoof to bo rasped. It is wrong.
The outside of the hoof is of a fine,
delicate nature, made up of fine horny
pillars. This outside surface is very
smooth and shiny, although it may
not look so, but when you examine an
unsophisticated colt you will find it
so. The smith will get his rasp on it,
if 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 tho shoo firm, and when
tho shoe "fits the foot" it will keep it
in its proper place till worn out.—
Rochester Post Express.
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 correctly balanced to fit the
physical requirements of the cows.
Every young farmer who hopes to be
come successful in dairying should
study such tables and become accus
tomed to the technical terms, so that
he will know just what they mean
wherever ho sees them. Having done
this, he should learn tho cost of .dif
ferent cattle foods delivered on his
farm, whether raised or purchased.
Knowing this, he should then make
his own standard ration, and when
over ho cannot get tho materials for
making that standard without paying
too much, ho must, look for substi
tutes in kind and quality.
Tho ration, as estimated, is most
conveniently the food for twenty-four
hous for a cow weighing between eight
hundred and one thousand pounds.
This much can bo done with books,
and is a very usoful part of tho lesson.
Tho real tent jf merit IU this work
OOIUCM from tho actual feeding of the
cows. The rations may bo most sci
entifically correct, and fed in exact
proportions, and yet fail to produce
or return tho tirst cost, which should
not have exceeded from fifteen to
twenty cents a day per cow. The best
dairymen claim to make butter worth
fifty cents a pound on a ration not ex
ceeding thirteen cents a day. But it
will be seen that when the ration costs
twenty cents, the cow must give at
least one pound of butter a day in
order to pay her board bill aud do
much better this, if any money is to
be made out of her.
With a cow in good condition, fat
and fresh, and tho ration properly
mixed, the test may be said to havo
just begun. Tho individual charac
teristics of each cow are not to be
studied. One will find big eaters and
small eaters, big milkers and small
milkers, rich milkers and thoso that
givo thin, poor milk. All tho vir
tues, or all the faults ore not to bo
found in any single cow. A general
average must be 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 learn
what her staniing is. Now comes
the vital point of how much to feed
her. Having learned this, tho work
will not have to be repeated during
her life.
Wheu a ration is made to suit tho
staudard, 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 tho full
amount thnt sho can bo induced to
eat up clean. Hold her at this heavy
feed for a few days aud see at what
point in the increase of feed she re
turned tho greatest profit. If you can
get 110 satisfactory results, then change
tho proportions of ration. If she is
very thin in flesh, increase tho fat
forming parts of the ration. Keep ex
perimenting with the cow until satis
fied that she caunot be made profit
able, then put her out of tho herd.
One good way to determine what part
of the ration to increase, is to first
feed the cow about all she will eat and
then try and tempt her with haudfuls
of bran, corn meal, oil meal, or what
ever makes up the ration, to see
which she seems to need tho most.
Such tests are never conclusive, but
they often lead to good results. Tho
point is to study the cows. Each ono
lias a different nature from the other,
aud the only way to make money with
them is to get a thorough knowledgo
of each ono and then treat each in
such a manner that she can return all
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 make a good article of milk,
butter or cheese.—American Agricul
turist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
An ill-fitting harness often mnkos
the balky horse.
Tho time togo into business is
when everybody olso is going out.
I'lant food can nowhere be so
cheoply obtained as from barn yard
manure. This is particularly true
when tho latter can bo had for tho
gathering.
Hens are in tho best condition to
lay when their crops are empty. Honco
they should bo fed sparingly during
tho 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 obedience to
it.
In several comparative trials made
by the Ontario (Canada) Experiment
Station best results were obtained
from 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 littie graiu
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 tho
best stage to cut to secure tho most
dry matter is when the grains havo
.glazed, or dented in dent varieties, or
when newly ripe.
Sunflower seed, it is well known, is
a good egg producing fool for chick
ens ; it is also fine food to give the
plumage a glossy appearance for ex
hibition purposes. Tho Russian 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 avoided by tho
use of potash—not the meagre 103
pounds per acre, but an application ol
ten times that amount. Proof of this
statement is offered in the fact that
peach trees grown on new land aro al
ways healthy and vigorous.
A dry cow should be fed well
enough to keep her in good condition,
but not so well as to make her fat.
It is not to be forgotten that th« con
dition of the calf depends great yon
that of the cow, and that this will
suffer before the cow does if the food
is not sufficient to maintain both in
good health.

"All nhrnnk-np and absolutely good
for nothing," an id tho mother of n
family as hlio looked over tho stock ol
summer flannels bought with tho ut
most cnro and at great expense. "And
tho worst of it all is that, say what 1
will, I cannot got my flannols washed
carefully. One olmy laundresses is an
enthusiast on cold water; another ho*
always rogulated her work by the
thermometer, and tho 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
ing tho way they handle them.
"Theso women, good, careful souls,
every one of them, put tho flannels
onto tho washboard and literally maul
them and grind them in their efforts
to rnako them clean, all of which is as
unnecessary as it is ruinous. Some
times in despair I do them myself, and
tho consequences aro that they do not
shrink. I use suds, pretty strong, and
with a very little sal soda in it, and
just as hot as I, by any possibility,
can handle tho flannels in it. If it
is nearly boiling, so much the better.
I put tho flannels in tho tub, pour on
tho suds, cover them up and let them
stand for fifteen minutes, then tako
them up by belts or collars as gingerly
as possible with my very Anger-tips,
let tho water drain from them, dip
thom again and repeat tho draining
process.
"If there are any particularly dirty
spots, I have soap dissolved in water
to a pasty consistency and put a l)it
of it on the spots and leavo them a few
minutes longer. I do not rub the
soap in, neither do I rub tho flannels.
I simply rinse them up and down in
the water, ard this not more than is
necessary to clean them. When I
think they will do, I lay them where
they will drain until the water is
nearly out, then preparo fresh hot
suds and put them through in the same
way. Under no circumstances would
I wring them or press them any more
than is absolutely necessary. They
are hung out dripping, and, if it is
cold weather, they may freeze all they
choose. I have had my flue French
flannels brought in so stiff that they
would stand up against tho wall, and
I have some of them now that aro
worn to rags that aro as soft and pli
ablo as tho day they were made up.
Before tho garments are fully dry
they may be ironed. Never use partly
cool irons and rub them again and
again, for this is worse than tho wring
ing and squeezing process, but take
an iron as hot as may be without any
danger of scorching, and manage so
carefully that once passing over tho
fabric will smooth it. In tins way
flannels will last to a good old age aud
preserve their original quality in toot."

The compass may yet disappear from
the sea, ways the Philadelphia Record.
The little noodle, "by the aid of which
intrepid mariners havo for centurion
charted the vast ocean developod a
sudden fickleness to tho polo as soon
as the compass was planed aboard tho
iron and steel ships of this ago. So
erratic have been the needle's devia
tions that, without froquont compari
son with somo kiaown standard, the
helmsman would lutve been afraid to
trust the instrument as a nautical
guide over tho trackless waters. For
the first time in thehistory of naviga
tion an appliance has been inventod
which seems to bo absolutely accurate
and trustworthy in tho determination
of the course of ships at sea. Lieu
tennnt W. H. Bocchar, of tho United
States navy, appears to have achioved
this triumph in his -delicate and beau
tiful solarometer, the telescope of
which is so floated upon successive
layers of quicksilver, in a vessel hung
npon 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 Btoamer
Weimar will docide tho fato offthe old
style compass.
The Pepsin Habit.
A New York physician of promi
nence remarked tho 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 be human nature for people
to make continual experiments on
thomselves with medicine, with a blind
faith that a popular panacai will cure
all the ills that flesh is heir to. Said
he:"I have noticed that in all the
penny-in-the-slot machines devoted to
confections tho pepsin-gum boxes are
nearly always empty. lam told that
it is necessary to refill them several
times a day. Boys hawk it every
where —in the streets, at tho races, at
baseball games. It cannot do very
much harm to a dyspeptic, but it cer
tainly does him no good. The amount
of pure pepsin in a package of this
gum is infinitesimal."—Now Orleans

Origin ol Tea.
It is difficult nowadays to imagine
how tho Japanese managed to livo
without tea; everybody drinks it at
all hours of the day, and the poorest
peoplo rarely get a chance of drink
ing any tiling stronger, and yet it is,
as things went in old Japan, a com
paratively recent introduction. Tea
was introduced with Hiiddhism from
Chiua, and though somo plants were
brought as early us tho ninth century,
it was not much grown until the end
of tho twelfth. Daruma, an Indian
saint of tho sixth century, often rep
resented in Japanese art either cross
ing the ocean on a ree 1 or sitting a
monument of patience with his hands
in his sleeves, was the father of tho
toa-plant. After years of sleepless
watching and prayer ho suddenly got
drowsy, and at last his eyelids closed
and ho peacefully slept. * W'lion ho
awoke ho was so ashamod of this par
donable weakness that ho cut otf tho
offending eyelids and threw them ou
the ground, where they instantly took
root and sprouted into tho shrub
which has ever since had power to
keep tho world awake.—Harper's
Magazine.
