Aerating Milk.
Professor Henry H. Wing, of the ag
ricultural experiment station ot Cornell
university, has been making a series of
experiments in aerating milk. He tried
the various known methods and the
patented aerators that have been put on
the market. He also compared the
cream raising powers of aerated milk
and that diluted both with hot and cold
water. As to cream raising, the sum of
the trials is that the best results are to
be had from plunging undiluted milk in
ice water at 40 degs. When milk is put
into water as cold as this there is no ad
vantage to be got from diluting it, and
yon get the good skimmilk beside. The
milk was allowed to stand' twenty-four
hours. before skimming. Then he tried
aerated and nonaerated milk 10 see
which kept sweet the loni'i.r, 4 V'. t His
point the professor says:
The difference in favor of the aera
tion is considerably h'ss than wo had
expected to obtain; but there were sev
eral conditions that are likely to have
made this difference less than it would
be under ordinary circumstances. In
the first place, tho air in which the
milk was set. was 'comparatively uni
form in temperature and free from con
taminating odors; in the second place,
only a short time elapsed alter milking
and aeration, so there was little chance
for contamination in the stable. Then
again all the surroundings of the cattle
were kept as neat and clean as could
well be done. We belit-ve that under
the conditions that affect most dairies
the good effects of aeration would be
moro pronounced than those we ob
tained. But we are inclined to regard
as extravagant the statement recently
made in a leading agricultural paper
that "aerated milk will keep nt least
three times as long as nonaerated."
The question is often raised whether
milk that is intended for butter making
may be aerated mid the cream after
ward successfully separated by the
gravity procecss. four trials were
made in which the milk that had been
aerated was set in Cooley cans at 40
degs. side by side with milk of tho same
lot that had not been aerated. In all
cases the temperature of tho creamer
was from 40 to 44, and the milk set
twenty-four hours. The results were as
follows:
Aerated, av. per cent, of fat. in skijumilk. . . .M
Not aerated, av. per cent, of fat lnskimuiilk ..tl
It will be seen that while there was
some loss in the efficiency of the cream
ing of the aerated milk it was not very
great. What is remarkable is that the
aerated milk suffered no fall of tempera
ture after it was placed in the creamer,
and was more efficiently creamed than
the diluted milk set at 60 degs., where
the fall of temperature was from 80 to 3.5
degs. This seems to be in direct contra
diction to the theory which supposes that
the fall of temperature after the milk is
set is one of the chief factors in com
plete creaming by the deep setting grav
ity process.
Dairy and Creamery.
A correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman
finds that salt is a good thing on ensi
lage when there is not too much of it.
To every foot of ensilage he sprinkles
salt about as thickly as he wouid bow
grain in a field at three bushels to the
acre.
A butter dairyman with a herd of Jer
seys in Xew York the other day tested
the milk of ten of his cows just as they
came into the stable to be milked, and
fonnd it averaged 4.72 butter fat. The
richest sample ran 0.8, the xxirest 4.
The richest milk as well as the poorest,
it may be observed, came from cows of
the St. Lamliert family. Bhxxl does not
always tell , but it does nearly always,
often enough to bet on anyhow.
A bull may be bred to two genera
tious of cows, mother and daughter;
then he should be changed, as inbreed
ing should not go further than this.
It will be inten-stiug to know who

In localities where it is too cold for

A good way to build up a good city
millt trade is to give your customers
nothing but good milk, Hundreds of
city people hr.ve concluded they did not
like milk and it did not agree with
them simply because they were imposed
on by the skimmed and pdulterated milk
furnished by dishonest salesmen. A hu
man being could support life on milk
alone and get fat besides if the milk
was pure and of rich quality.
WINTER WHEAT.
Two Ways of l'roleettuu; Young Wheat
fruiu Injury by Inclement Weather.
There are two ways even in the most
exposed country of saving young wheat
from the worst injury by the weather,
according to American Cultivator. One
is to make the soil rich, the other is like
to it, and that is to o manage the prep
aration of a seed bed that most of this
fertility will be near the surface, thus
insuring a spreading habit of growth
both of roots and top. It is often said
that wheat needs to get a large top to
protect itself during tho winter. But
the character of the top is more impor
tant than its size. If wheat is sown dur
ing hot weather and spires up without
spreading, as it will in such cases, it
will kill out in winter worse than wheat
sown so late that it scarcely had any
top. The latter had more root than top.
Tho first had more top than root. Some
of tho worst failures of winter wheat
have resulted in pieces that to the inex
perienced eye looked best the fall before.
, Practical growers agi-ee that tho land
for seeding with wheat should be well
compacted, with a seed bed made moist
and mellow near the surface. As most
wheat is now grown on stubblo ground
of spring grain there are only a few
Lweeks possible in which to prepare the
f. ed bed. What can be done to brilig
such land tinder the most favorablecon
ditions forseeding? First, plowing should
follow the harvesting of the grain as
soon as possible. Keep a drag a nd roller
in the held as the stubble is turned un
der, and each day toward night drag
and roll down all that has been plowed
that day. There is generally some
moisture in newly turned furrows. If
yon wait until the wlwle field is plowed
before dragging and rolling down, most
of this moisture has dried out of the up
turned f urrow-. ( )nce out t here may not
come rain enough before the proper
seeding time to germinale the grain.
There is always some green herbage-
weeds if not clover in grain siitbhle
when it is plowed under. If soil is com
pacted about this green herbage it rots
at once, not only giving out all the fer
tility it contains, but enabling the soil
to be much better compacted than it
would otherwise be. Moisture is all im
portant for' compacting soil. It presses
closer together the particles of eartli
but without preventing progress of the
roots through them, but rather aiding it.
Care should lie taken not to work heavy
land while very wi t, as this may make
it cloddy.
The authority quoted in the forcgoin,
savs 011 flie subject of fertilizing: "Mak
ing the surface soil rich is best done by
mineral manures. Their effect is also to
harden the soil, as some part of the min
eral soon unites with its sand and thus
becomes a silicate. It is, however, solu
ble in the carbonic acid gas which is
always present in land where recent
showers have brought moisture down,
All kuow how soft newly fallen rain
water is, nnd how easily it removes dirt
from the lierson. This is due to the car
bonic acid gas it contains, which it has
absorlied in passing through the air.
This carbonic acid gas is of the greatest
importance in making any kind of seed
start vigorously. The sprouting seed
furnishes some carbonic acid gas, but
every fanner knows that a succession of
light rains, enough to wet down one or
two inches deep, is of the greatest
jiortauce not only to newly sown wheat,
but to newly planted seeds of any kind.'
Agricultural Brevities.
Il is said to cost less to send the prod
not of an acre of wheat from Dakota to
England than it does to manure an acre
in England so that it can grow good
wheat.
A recont bulletin from an experiment
station says, "Whenever potash has
been applied in experiments the clover
is clearly much stronger than on any
other plots, not excepting those where
manure has been used."
There are creameries now at work in
Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, South
Carolina and North Carolina.
Poultry News says: "To make a good
and cheap turkey roost get four forked
posts from the woods, about ten feet
long. Put them in the ground two feet.
Th n drop two worm fence rails in the
forks and throw two or three cross poles
011 these, and you have a good roost for
them."
Asparagus Wis ought to lie mowed
and the tops removed before seed is scat
tered. Now is the time to get cold frames
and forcing, pits iu readiness for the
coining season.

Fire was tTanserl
(iirl Ami a Moil?.
liy n
Young
For over twtuty years tho origin ot
the Chioago l'ire remained in doubt
Many theories were advanced, but thi
one most generally accepted is that Mrs
O'Lcary (now famous) neut out nftei
duik one nk'tit to milk aud that her cu
kicked over a keroseue lamp setting fin
to the etable. This story is now com
plettly up6et by Mr, Howard H. Gross.
President ot the great C'jcloraina o tht
Chicago Fire, who inado a very exhaust
ive study of the whole subject, whilt
gutheiiug tbe du'u aud planning the re
production upon oauvas of this uwfui
disaster, he oame upon considerable
new matter the most interesting of which
is the discovery of the origin ot the fire.
In giving to tbe world the following ac
oonut of the beginning of the great fire.
Air. Gross refers to Dr. Wickershum
former liaultu officer of CuioafO and foi
twenty yeurs the family physician ot
Mrs. O'Leary, who will vouch for the
story. Mrs. O'Leaiy was an iudustrious
hard working woman who kept a few
cows nnd said milk to her neighbuis.
dhe owned two cottageB at 148 De Koveu
St., one being in the rear of the other
Mis O'Leary lived in the first one nuu
rented the other. Upon the buck of tht
lot were the cow stables. The day b
fore the great fire the family living in
Mrs. O'Leary's oottage had a young
lady friend arrive from the old oouutr
and the Sunday evening the fire Btat ted,
a number of the family friends hud
gathered in the cottage to welcome the
now nenval. During the eveuiug it was
suggested that the oompauy have some
oysters. The proposal met favor and t
sutable quantity was quickly secured
1 10 m a grocery near by, when the faoi
dawned upon the good woman of the
house that she had no null; with which to
serve them. Immediately a raid was plan
ned upon Mi s. O'Leary's stable to secure
rora the cows the needful article. One
of the party volunteered to do the niilk-
ug if someone would go along and hold
a lamp for him. This duty was assigned
to u popular but nervuns young lady of
the company who relouiautly consented
to go.
The lamp was tinned low, an entry
to the stable was made unobserved;
whereupon the youna lady turned up
the light, and no sooner was this done
than a mouse scampered out of the
straw near the young lady, so startled
her that she dropped tho lamp unv.d- the
uillamable material at her feet. An ex
plosion followed, aud in a moment the
whole staple was in a blaze. Thus
started the great Chioago fire which is
so elopueut and truthfully portrayed ou j
20,000 square feet of canvas in the well
kuowu Cycloiuiiia biiilihug ou Mich
igan Avenue. It is the work ot 20 emi
nent. artists, and tliat their work has been
dono well is demostrated by the great
patronage it has been receiving, and tho
many words of praise from the press
aud public. The story is so vividiy
told in this painting, that tho visitorb
are almost load to believe that thay are
standing on the root of a b iilding watch-
lug, the aotual burning of Chicugo. It
is probably the must valuable panorama
ever painted, costiug nearly a quarter of
a million dollars -

Dear Sir; The writer bus been here
tor a month past, selling (or trying to sell)
Oregon wools, for our house, Christy A
Wise. I am meeting a good deal of
opposition from manufaiturers in re

count of sheepmen branding their sheep
with tar, or red paint. Knowing by the
ncquaintanne I have had with yon that
you nre fully interested in anything that

taken the liberty to send you two sam
ples of wool by mail. The one marked
'No. 1," is Australian wool. This is sold
in manufacturers, and guaranteed free
from any brand. "No. 2," represents
what came of of one fleece of Eastern
Oregou wool, raised by one of your prom
inent sfifspmeu, I wish you wonld call
their attention to the injury they do
both themselves and the commission
man, by nsing such unnecessary brand'
md I would suggest to them that if they
must brand with tar or red paint, they

of their wool at least le per pound, here.
In San Francisco also, the minute buy

or see evidence of tar or paint brand on
wool, they "doo" it lc per lb,
