In view of some practical experiments made by me, I cannot urge the aerating and cooling of all milk too strongly, not only for direct consumption, but fur creameries and cheese factories. I do not fear being amused of exag- geration if I claim that if all milk brought to our factories were thus treated, it would improve the quality of our better with at (east one-fourth oent, and our cheese with one -bait cent per pound, and this would virtually be an increased anneal value of these prod- ucts aggregating over 111,000,000.— Prize Article by J.

The tiro species are about the salve size and larger than one would suepoct who has only seen tlJem at a distance. A good specimen will mesisaro over seven feet from tip to tip of the wings. There is one cantons• differeuoe in their habits. The long billed vulture breeds always on high cliffs, while ,tit Bengal brother in content to build its nest on any tree big enough to bear the weight of such a ponderous edifice. 1 have seen a mingle mango tree groaning ander the weight of two or three nests on the other aide of the barb*. Each nest 000108ue one egg, generally white, but sometlmee blotched with brown. Once fairly in the air, nebird enrpaases the majesty of its flight. The question has often been hotly di.ousoed whether birds oan sail without flapping their wings. The difllenlry originated, of course, with somebody of that unfortunate class who moat reason about a gaemtioi ot, fact instead of looking. He demonstrat- ed that each a •feat was lmposeible. The .vultures kept on doing it all the same, and any one may watch them. For boon together they will sail in circles, or rather in spirals, without the 'light- est motion of their wings beyond trim- ming them to the wind like the sails of a frost of morn there meet be '•wind. There are two other kinds of vultures which may occasionally be resin in Bom- bay. One is the king vulture (Otngyps calves), a royal bird, not iudeed larger than the others, but of nobler aspect and prouder character. It appears singly or with its mate and will not consort with the berd. When it comes to a carcass, the others have to stand by until it has dined. There is no difficulty in recog- nizing this species by ism deep black col- or, relieved only by two pore whits patches on its thighs and by the blood red tint of its bare head and neck. Our fourth vulture is the foul bird known as Phanoh'a chicken, .e well as by other lest reputable names. Its title 1n soe000 1s Neophron ginginianus. It is one of the commonest birds about Poonab and everywhere on the plains of the Deccan, but seldom visite the toast. I have, however, seen a pair on more than one (evasion about the flats. It is a white bird, not much big- ger than • kite, with only the quill feathers of the wing black. Its bill is long and thin, its naked face yellow and its tail wedge shaped. Its neck is not bare, but clothed with long, rusty white feathers, pointing backward. It does not stand upright, like the true vultures, but carries its body like a duck and walks like a recruit. By these signs you may know Pharaoh's chicken.
