The Brussels Post, 1894-8-10, Page 7AUGUST 10, UM WACTICAL FARING, Bad Air Maks Bad Milk, A Correepondeut: writes 1—In order to Alum the influence of foul odore jn the air upon milk, I will recount an experioneo of mine that may be of cervico to some dairy readers, Iu was in my early experience as a ebeeee-maker. 'Events had passed oil etnootbly at the factory 'anti] in June, when I began W be bothered with tainted milk. I pooh leeatod it as coming froln one dairy, and, moreover, the faotory's largest patron, I informed: his hiredman of the damaged condition of the milk, and sent minute instructions and auggeetione to his master relative to ate bettor care over night on the farm, through the employment of aeration end cooling, fully expecting that .the laoteal quality would improve forthwith, On the 'contrary, it gabeyen wore°, though I was informed that my ivatvucttone had been carried out faithfully. I told my employer that the milk of this patron must be rejected altogether, es it was giving us tainted curds and damaged stook right along. To my surprise my em• ployor, who vine himself an old cheese - maker, amid Slat it would never do to reject this patron's milk, he being an extensive and influential farmer who would quickly take offense, patronize some rival factory, and seriously cripple the profits of our in. Btitution. I was further informed that it had always been the euetom t.o accept, under mild protest, such mills at factories thereabout, and the maker was expected to do his beet to alter its quality for the better during the malting process. Strange as it may seem to the well -in. formed, progressive, dairyman, the above idea has taken such root, in some eastern dairy communities that as a law of custom is still handicaps factory management. To the outsider ie seems preposterous that a dairyman should suppose he could foist bad milk upon a manufacturer to the detriment of all his neighbors in the associated system, but it comessimply from a lack of know. .ledge of what is bad milk and of its always •disastrous results in thecae making and butter production. In the inatanoe mentione9, rather than submit to a custom that was supposed to -wait till the milk quality righted itself,sub. eject to patient admonitions from the maker, I determined to visit the farm and look for the source of trouble. I found that they had been planting corn and fertilizing it in the hill with stable dung and night soil. The heaps of manure had been onlypartial- ly removed, and from the open pitsiu which there were the deed carcasses of several lambs and pigs, arose a sickening stench that could be smelled ton rods off. Half way between the barnyard and where the privy vault had been opened stood the milk wagon, on which the cans of milk tested during the night. I talked earnestly with this dairyman about the serious trouble that his milk was causing, and requested him to remove his milk wagon out of range of bad odore. He did so, and the next morning hismilkwas perfectly pure and continued so during the retie of the summer. After seeing the condition of thinga about his pre. 'niece, I understood why - aeration of the milk in that tainted atinosphare had aug- mented rather than helped the evil. In connection with the above instance I would say that one not practically connected with 'cheese or butter making has but .a faint idea of the misooneeptions of what constitutes a desirable milk quantity, as entertained by a vast number of dairymen. To a consowutious maker whose skill is compromised by Om lack of co-operation on the farm, the situation is particularly exasperating. I often think that cheese and butter makers are in better position to do practical reform work among those dairymen who need it, than are any other class. For eight months in the year the good and bad methods of every dairy farm in their jurisdiction, es indexed by the milk duality from each, pusses before them. They know just where the fault lies with A, le and 0, and can often set him aright more effectually than oould the argument of an institute worker in speaicieg in a general way to a general audience. 1 think that it is a most uusatiafaotory plan for makers to wait for somebody else to come along and spur up their delinquent patrons to better methods. Every maker ehould hustle for himself in this matter end the result will be some of the best reform dairy work ever inaugurated. Troublesome Flies. "A merciful man is .merciful to his beasts," therefore, Dare for the cattle by applying some greasy substance which will keep the flies oft from them. Prof. Sling- erland, of Cornell University, says : "Two classes of remedies aro practicable; pre- ventive, to prevent injury to the cattle by keeping off the fly; destructive, by de- stroying the inoeot in its larval or adult condition. The fly may be kept away from the cattle for several days by the ap- plication of almost any greasy ettbstance to the parts more liable to attack. Fish oil, to which a little carbolic aoid has been added as a healing agent, is the meet highly recommended ; oommon axle -grease, tal- low, kerosene emulsion, or sheep dip may be used to good advantage. The substanoe may be applied with a sponge or with it spray. One thorough application is often sufficient ,hut as its repelling power usually Iasis only five or six days, it may bo neces. eery to repeat the application. Among the destructive agents for the fly, toba000 powder is 'considered the best. It ehould be dusted on those parts where the flies most generally congregate, and it ie cer- tain death to those that aomo in oontaot with it, The larva may be destroyed by scattering a little lime or plaster on the fresher droppings in the field. Thio ehould be done early In the Beason, as every larva killed then ropreeonte the daub of many i, flies later." Thin Out the Poultry. The most profitable part of the laying season is over and the supply of young chicks luta reached its maximum for the year and the cost of the (lecke will soon begin to tell on the grain snppliee, if the enrplus of the mature hone and roosters is large.

An biiotdeni oe the Z,nia War iu South Arrive, This is a question that is often asked of an old eoldier; sometimes it is easily ane- wered; oftener it gives Hee to doubt and misgivings as to one's actual responsibility for, a fellow creature's blood, T will give an instance of the latter phase, by relating an event that occurred to myself during the Ulu war in Afrioa.. Having been severely wounded at the battle of Uhlundl I woo on my way to Maeitzbnrgh, whore a very near relative wes a high o&roial in the British MVO Ser• vice. I was borne on the shoulders of na- tives in a speoiee of palanquin, called by them a phare, end had to bear the burning heat of the day and the ne less oppressive closeness of the night with naught between ine andthe elements save the palm -leaf roof of the puttee. After the second day's journey toward nightfall we camp upon the snug home of a Dutch settler. When Living. stone first naught a glimpse of the Nyanza. he did not fuel a deeper sense of ORATITODE AND RELIEF than I did on` beholding the humble resi- dence. Soon I was lying on a rough bis not uncomfortable lounge in the room that represented parlor, dinner, and drawing - room, while our sable attendants curled up en the veranda with the zest for slumber oharaoterisbio of the African, whether on that or this side of the Atlantic. The good frau did her best to make me feel easier, and after the long -drawn pain of the tedious journey, I Boon fall asleep. How long I slept know not, but I was aroused by the creaking of the lattioe on the window close to where my couch stood. It had been thrown open and the moon was pasting its rays into the spacious, if barren, dining' room. I gazed dreamily out upon the peaceful African landscape, bathed in the light of the midnight moon, and was think- ing of another landscape, thousands of miles away, and wondering if I should ever see it again, when suddenly a shadow fell across the lattioe,and there but a few feet from me stood a man dressed in the uniform of the British infantry. As my relative and his two sons were the only white men in our t party, they were lying in various pictur- w esque attitudes, taking a much-needed rest in the same apartment with myself, 1 t could not imagine how this English private came among us. He was advancing w stealthily towards the window ; and, grac- ious heavens ! how my enfeebled blood froze m as I saw the glisten of a sword bayonet in his hand 1 But my heart beat fainter when g a on uearer approach, I saw the maniac's fire glisten in his eyeballs. I was too weak to 0 rise from my couch, but the sense of self. b preservation remained, and of ter my life being preserved at leesb through the fury of Uhlundt's struggle I determined not to die tamely by the hands of a madman.

Yet, strange to say, there are few, 1f any, that are worked to anything lilts theitheir'eapaeity of produc. tion, writes Mr. J. A. Radford in The Empire. We but imperfectly understand our great resources, for our erre is enormous, and there are vett emote of land that remain to be prospected, especially in the north, seldom trod by white teen, who are not either trappers or hunters, men whose knowledge of minerals or indications of them is decidedly meagre. Our expert. mental prospecting and examinations are very incomplete apd superficial, but enough has been done in the regionnorth of Superior, and Huron, once believed to be a desolate end worthless waste of rook and muskeg, to show that it is possessed of the richest minerals in the province. Ontario's situation at present suggests a comparison with our 000siosae'oss the bor- der, and when we observe the rapid inoreaoe of mineral development there, the great 'dream of capital that is continually pour. ing into their mining districts, and the transformation of regions but lately acces- sible into habitable places and scenes of home life and industrial activity, the con- clusion seems apparent that if Ontario could teamed in directing some of her wealth, energy and enterprise into some of her econ- omle mineral locations, results of a like tendency would inevitably accrue. IT IS A 0ISOR100 and a compliment at the same time to no that more than half the capital now iuveat- ed in mines and mining property iu Ontar- io ieunder the control of Americans, and we must open our eyes to this fact. n One of the main reasons why some Can- adian owners have ceased working their Maims is not that they are not workable, but rather that their knowledge of im• proved methods and processes is not equal o the requirements of economic production ith scant capital and primitive Ideas.

Probably his name appeared amongst the list of " miss- ing" in the report of that tattle that laid Zululand at the feet of England. What is True 7 Truth to self has many opponents. Men- tal indolence is one of them. It often takes much energy and labor to find out what is true. A man thinks that he holds certain beliefs which he has never even grasped. He has hoard of them from others, and takes them for granted without a thought. It even troubles him to have them called in question. Yet they are really not his. He has not earned them by any effort, nor can he claim them by any right. It is not loyalty to truth that makes him cling to them. It is merely adherence to a babib of thought which he has contracted. It will be said that no one has the time or the power to investigate every opinion present. ed to him. Thiele very true. We do well to believe much that we cannot prove, but which has been fully established by those in whose special ability and judgment we implicitly trust. But upon subjects that are still controverted by those who study them —problems of soionoe upon which scientists disagree, or principles of government on which statesmen differ, or questions of fact which observers view front opposite standpoints—bhe man who is true to himself will either investigate dispassion- ately, and labor to form just oonclusioits thereof, or, if this be impossible, be will bold his judgment in suspense, and refrain from proclaiming as a truism that of whose truth he ie not sufficiently convinced. In the investigation of religious or scientific truth there is no greater fault than the disposition to rush to conclusions, The process by which the truth of any.prinoiple isdisooverablo is necessarily slow, and it is only folly or presumption to autioipete its work.

SCARCITY OF FARM LABORERS. A Chance for the Caemnileyed in the cities and T,'vns. A a time when people's minds are ocoupi ed with public questions matters regarded as of minor importance ere allowed to drop out of eight although they may have no in- considerable bearing 013 oar seceder nation- al condition. One of these is the general complaint of the soaroity of farm laborers in the interior countiesof the tour try, and is worthy of thoughtful attention at this time, when cities and towns are greatly distressed by the number of the unemployed. There is no doubt a large proportion of these could find employment on farms if they were so disposed. Certainly the prevailing wages is low when compared with the regular wages of artisans and skilled laborers,beiug on many farms from fifty to seventy-five cents aclay ; bub that is nob so bad in the country as it sounds in the town, and is certainly much better than dependentidle- ness. It must uot,however, be overlooked, in defense of the idle tradesman that a very largo proportion of the men would be of no use on a farm even If they went there, and could not earn even .the prescribed half - dollar if they tried. The boys from the farms, or a majority of them, at least, have gone to the towns or to the factories and work-shops,and if they have learned a trade it is generally one that unfits them for buoolio employment. Farmers, who are a shrewd aloes of men and reason on the closest margin, will seldom give in- ploytnent to.tu iron worker, for example, for the simple reason that he is about as useless in the hay -field as the farmer hitn. self would he at the furnace and as much in everybody's way. The factory hands could no more weild a scythe than they could an old time battle axe. In other words we have a surplus of people trgiog to make a living by various forms of mane - featuring and trading and not as many as are needed in productive agriculture. Farmers themselves might at the present time, take advantage of the attention to their own and general profit. Men have been leaving the country for the town because they could earn more there. The tarmere want them back again and they want au inducement to turn the other way. In farming as in all other employments it is a recognized condition that the best wages secure the best men and the farmer, who concludes to pay liberal wages to first-class halide will be the moat likely to get them, and is the one whose harvesting will be a suooess in every respect. Pictures of Great Prima. Ib is interesting to compare the high price paid for the Sir Joshua last Saturday by Mr. Wertheimer with other purchases of recent yearn which approach or exceed the figures then reached. The "Orme axion' of Raphael from the Dndley Gallery was sold to Mr,Ludwig Mond for about 10,000 guineas. The "Ansidei" Madonna, by Raphael, and the equestrian portrait of Charles 1„ by Van Dyok, were bought by the National Gallery front the Blenheim Collection for about 497,000. Lately the great Holbein, the Velasquez, and the Moroni, acquired by the National Gallery and a group of amateurs from Longford Castle, were bought for 555,000, The Duo d'Anmale bought from the trustees of the late Lord Dudley the tiny " Three Graces," a week of Raphael'e early youth, for 600,0001 or £24,000, lean-Franoofs Millet's "Angelus" was bought by M, Chauohatd for about 432,000; a California millionaire purobased the same greatFranoh master's "L'Homme ala Roue" for 116,000, and finally, Oii&osab,ard paid no less than 530,000 for Meisson]er's larger "/814."

Up to Iheolooe of the week ending July 7, 457,100 boxes of cheese had been shipped, or 172,557 mere than In the same period last year, On the other hand, only 1,019 packages of butter had been exported,. which is 2,572 paelcaaes lees than up to the same date last year. It also appears that during the first week of July no eltipments of butter had been made. Why the encouraging increase in the cheese export and the deplorable shrinkage in the shipment of butter? In the ease of the former, prices, although lower perhaps than makers oars to see, are fairly regular and remunerative, and the market is likely to keep firm, for TUE EVEN QUALITY OF min ;PARE and the wise manner of supplying the market give Canadian obeese a standing that helps to sustain prices in the British markets. This, unfortunately, 'cannot be said of our butter. Virith Danish, Dutch and Irish butter declining in value, our 'colonial," as it is termed, isnot inquired for in London, and is away down in the other English markets. This isnot because first. class butter cannot be made in Canada, nor is it because a prime article cannot be de. livered in England, Both of these possibili tree have been suocesafully demonstrated. Our fresh creamery butter is fully equal to the finest Danieli. But one great trouble teems to be that too many packers and shippers handle butter as they would cheese. It is expensive work, however, "curing" butter in cold storage. Time is no friend tothe flavor or body of choice creamery, and the long confinement ;lust tell even worse upon the store•packed article. Butter for the British markets must be carefully made—of a firm and even texture, and with a moll flavor suggestive of our splendid pastures. It must then be hand- led by men who understand the business. It should pass from maker to user as soon ae possible. While it must have cold storage all the way from the making room to the counter, it should not be trusted too long and toe Implicitly to gold latorago.

It has often been contended by physiologists and men of science gen- erally, that nervous energy or'nerv- oue impulses which pass along the nerve fibres, were only other names for electricity. This eeemingly plane- ible statement was accepted for a time, but has been completely aban- doned since it has been proved that the nerves are not good conductors of electricity, and that the velocity of a nervous impulse is but 100 feet per second—which is very much slower than that of electricity. It is now generally agreed that nervous energy, or what we are pleased to call nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious force, in which dwells life itself. A very eminent specialist, Who hag studied profoundly the workings of the nervous system for the last twenty-five years, has lately demon- strated that two-thirds of all our ailments and chronic diseases are due to deranged nerve centres within or at the base of the brain. All know that an injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis to the body below the injured point. The reason for this is, that the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralysed portion. Again,when food is taken into the stomach, it comes in oontaot with, numberless nerve fibres in the walla of this organ, which at once send e. nervous impulse to the nerve centres which control the stomach, notifying them of the presence of food; where- upon the nerve centres send down a supply of nerve force or nerve fluid, to at once begin the operation of digestion. But let the nerve centres which control the stomach be de- ranged and they will not be able to respond with a sufficient supply of nerve force, to properly digest the food, and, as a result, indigestion and dyspepsia make their appearance. So it is with the other organs of the body, if the nerve centres which con- trol theist and supply them with nerve force become deranged, they are also deranged. The wonderful success of the remedy known as the Great South. American Nervine Tonic is due to the fact that it is prepared by one of the most eminent physicians and specialists of the age, and is based on the foregoing scientific discovery. It possesses marvellous .powers for the cure of Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Headache, Sleeplessness„ Restlessness, St. Vitus's Dance, Men- tal Despondency, Hysteria, Heart Disease, Nervousness of Females, Hot Flashes, Sick Headache. It is also an absolute specific for alt stomach troubles. A. DEADIt(N Wholesale and Retail Agent for Brussells
