It isknown that the. addition of cold water to the.milk causes the itireant to rise with greater rapidity than it would otherwise do. But the effect Of. adding *stet to the gem - itself is not 80 well understood. Cream is lighter than milk, and water is also lighter thin- milk. There is very little difference between the specific gravities of oreain :and water, Indeed very poor cream may be of preciselythe pante • tipeoific '_gravity as water, while very ritsh'Oreini will be lighter., Cream varies very niuch in itet.cheracteit Ot sit samples the peOportion of water con- tained bave been• found to vary front 50 * 72:25 per cent., while the -proportion e of actual fat have varied from 19 to 48V per cent,- It is a fact that cream is only exceed- ingly rich milk, and the milk of the -orettm .hasprecisely the speeificgravity Of skimmed milk that is.free from fat, Whiph is 1.035. The fat of milk has a specific gravity Of .0, sothat it is quite easy to calculate how muqh fat there isrequired to make the Orealn Weigh, precisely the same is water. Then Water and cream thoroughly Mixed mciuld_not separate, and a certain propor- tion of water May be mixed with cream, and if the water is properly thickened and colored,::tas it is sometimes, With starch and yellow --A-atter,' nothing but .a chemicalanalysis would detect, the adulteration: . As. .a practical illustra tion- of the :possibility. .of -dishonest treat- ment of- cream we ,might refer to an experiment made by Prof. blunoy at the Iowa College, in whioli eight parts Of water were added to two parts of cream, and two and a quarter hours after -'the cream which impended- was doubled. in quantity, While in 12 hours' the COMM -still showed an increased bulk of One part tn 20, or 5 per cent. These facts show that the oreant gauge smiths Milk can • are neither to be.depended 'Upon as a tett of cream; While the natural variation in quality, which is so,large, must necessarily operate t� the disadvantage of these whose cream is richeet in fat, in. fever of -those *hese cream is poor.• , . weer Fibrin Notes. eover it two. or thtee inches. Setting• out in this way, there is he cutting away of roots, and need -of little water,ras the plant has not been in the least disturbed, esp- . chilly if acenstorned to the air .out-of- doors for * week or two before _ being set in.. the garden, I have started tomatoes so early that the plants Were in blossom several days before being set out not being at all retardeti or cheeked in growth thereby. Cucumbers, melons, etc., started itt the seine way„ I have had - in Moore wheat 80 out; With the same reeult. After being put the. ground the turnip soon_ decays, furnishing a little food for the Plant.

Instead of going to thetrouble.of_ptocuririg, sharpening and set- ting stakes, andpulling and. taking -care of them at the end ofthe season, I started sun- . flower- seeds in the: same way as described. To prevent too much, shade I out off the reeves of the sunflowers. pis far above the tomato plant as is necessary to give it: all the air and sunlight deeirate. The Bus- sian sunflower, -because of its very tall growth, is the best for this purpobe.
