We will cite two cases. The first was a field of thirty aorea of barley. The land Nag simnel! in every particular. Fif- teen aorea of this was sown with six -rowed barley on the 28th day of April. A heavy rein prevented the sowing of the remaining fifteen acres for about eight days; it was then sown with seed taken from the same bin as thet previously sown. The . first half fielded _iq9 bushels per acre, the average weight of which was 54 pounds per bushel ; the later sown half of the field yielded 39 bushels per acre, the average weight of which was 4877¢ pounds.

The New York Sun gives an interesting account of a Dutch colony at Great South Bay, Long Island. It is a flourishing village of five' hundred inhabitants, in which every family owns its own home. Where there are no police men, sheriff or magistrate, be- cause nobody ever breaks the law or is disorderly, unrbasonable or quarrelsome; which has no street cleaning department, because every 1 family keeps the street in front of its home in order, and • every street is as neat as brick, stone and earth can be made. No- body is in debt, and everybody is laying up'money. It is healthful --and-_has--a—ver=y --low—death----tate; because it is situated on the sea and its inhabitants work all day in the open air, spend their even— ings at home and go to bed early. It .is a God-fearing community, nearly every inhabitant being a member of one of its two churches. There has never been an arrest in this Dutch colony, nor, so far as theirAmerican neighbors know', a quarrel, and never a theft there during the 25 years of the colony's life. T,,he children are rosy and plump, the women are contented and happy,and all are comfortably dressed. There has never been a bar—room nor place were liquor is sold in the place, and to drin a glass of beer, as occasionally a young man will when visiting the, neighboring town of Sayville, is considered a grave offense by his neighbors, putting him into disfavor with the maidens The Voice of April 23 contained a strong and valuable array of testimony from prominent rail- road officials of the country in favor of total abstinence as a pre- requisite to success in the railway service. Among the questions submitted to railroad managers were the following : I. What, if any, is the rule of your company with reference to employes in- dulging• in intoxicating liquor when on duty? 2, Would your company hesitate to employ a man knowing him to be an habitual frequenter of bar—rooms? 3. Do you or do'yon not, as a rule, find that total abstainers from intox- icants make better and more reliable employes than those given to occasional moderate drinking? 4. To what extent would you regard the habitual use of intox— icants as unfitting a man for holdnag a position of responsibility in y nr employment? To the first question the general answer is made that the companies will not employ men knows to be habitual frequenters of saloons. Some say """`". that preference in employment is always given to men who do not rink at all. To the third ques• on an affirmative answer is given in every ease. l O Causes of Ropy Milk. This is a matter that has puzzled many a dairyman and milk dealer, as well as far- mer. Such milk is almost useless and un- churnable and yields a very small per cent, of butter, and it is well to know the cause and remedy, if any. Prof. F. G. Short, the State Chemist for Wisconsin, says this clout ropy milk in the aennal report o! the Food and Dairy Commissioner for that state:— "Ropy milk is said to be produced by a variety of causes; illness of the mammary glands, inflammation of the udder, cold of the same organ contracted by lying down on the ground, atmospheric influences, fod- der containing certain plants, distil- lery slop, unclean rooms and uten- sils, etc. The remedies are* equally numerous. The alleged causes for ropy milk point to two assumptions: either the mills when drawn from tho cow is infected with ferment, or the milk is infected after it is drawn from the cow. No experimonte have been made to prove or disprove the first as- sumption. That ropy milk may be caused by infection atter it has been drawn from the cow bas been proved by experiment.. If sterilized milklii_iooenlated.with-ropy-milir- aud kept ata suitable temperature, it will be observed that no cream rises to the top, and that the milk gets ropy within twenty four hours. After forty-eight hours have elaps- ed, the milk is of such -consistency that it will not fl"w out of the vessel containing it even if the latter be turned upside down. The most suitable temperature for this develop- ment I8 860 to 1040 F. The energy of the ferment diminishes with rise of.temperature, and at 104 0 F. it in entirely destroyed. Freezing preveuts the development of the ferment, but dem not kill it." The Babcock Milk Test. Briefly described, the Babcoc method of testing milk for butter fat is as follows: A carefully measured sample of milk is placed in a test bottle having a long narrow neck. biextan equal volume of sulphuric acid is added, and the bottle is placed in a wheel which is revolved horizontally from six hun- dred to eight hundred times per minute, for about aix minutes. At the end of this time tko fat of the milk set free by the acid has risen to the top of the liquid; hot water is poured into the bottle. partly inling the neck, Oa Again whirling fora couple of minutes the Sat will risethrough the water into the neck. lee' Jong column, where it is easily read off by gFaduations on the neck. By this method the fat in skim -milk, buttermilk, whey, cream, and even cheese can be determined. This gives the creamery man a means not only of dividing money for milk among patrons ea the basis of fat delivered, but also of watch- ing hie separator and churn to detect losses heretofore realized but not accurately locat- ed. After the first cost of the apparatus the expenses of the test are small, the acid being the only item aside from the time required; a pound of acid, costing from two to four cents, will make fourteen tests. Dr. Bab- cock status that after the samples have been measured out, sixty tests can be made and the bottles bleaned," in two hours. The method is not patented. Cost of Ignorafiee. In no business perhaps does ignorance have to be lipid more promptly than in dairying. When weehurn, if we don't know the right degree of temperature for the cream we may either waste many hours at the crank or else have the butter Dome too soon, with flavor and texture ruined. If wa don't know how tp feed our cows we inlay be wasting feed ditery dpy; we mail be dairying with the wrong breed, and so an through tII whale 'mimes, if we do not bow the knollieelge we are always in the ev4 o1 making heavy losses.

In other words, the figures we c produce include everything we can po cibly term a soldier, from a guardsina to a native policeman.

The cab came, they jumped in and drove off like mad to the office of the Petrie. They arrived there at the last minute. The section of the novel prepared for the next day was hastily with- drawn and a harmless African story was shoved into its place.

Early in the winter a leadingrailrl'lad-man of Cincinnati gave a dinner party, Around the board were savers' New Yorkers, who toward the end 'Of the feast told stories out of their religious experiences. "Up in Lawrence County," said a grim - looking party, grizzly of hair, square of jaw, and deliberate, as if addressing a jury, "there was once a worthy elder of the church named Joe Parker. Joe was a God- fearing ratan, a good husband and father, upright in his busi%ess as a farmer, and a most respectable citizen every way. One d'ay he hitched his team, loaded it with produce, and went to Potsdam. Night fell, but Joe did not come home. His family were greatly alarmed. His son posted with all haste to Potsdam, only to learn that his father sold his beans and potatoes and -start- ed off homeward a little before dusk. "Search proved unavailing, but the next afternoon up drove Joe's horse to the gate, broken -winded and all of a lather. His master slowly descended to the ground=a sorry spectacle—his clothes torn, his face badly bruised, part of his front scalp missing. With unsteady steps Joe found his room. Next day the minister and tho other eld- ers of the church called upon him. _`' Brotii8r Y'iu keg,' said the man of God 'we visit you to have some explanation of the extraordinary events which have over- taken you this week.'

Old age is a relative term. Some men are old at 40, and others are young at•70. Much depends upon health, and more, perhaps, upon temperament. The Boston Transcript describes an amusing little scone in a rail- way car, as the train was nearing the city. A gray-haired man, bunt with age, took up his overcoat, hesitated, and glanced nervous- ly about. Then he spoke to a fellow passen- ger across the aisle. "I shall be much obliged," he said, you will help me on with my coat" "Certainly," answered the man this ad- dressed, as he rose quickly. "There—ow! I'm a little stiff. Thank you," said the old man. "You are very kind. Some day you may be old yourself, and then you will be &eel of a younger man's assistance," • The other 15sssenger laughed. "Perhaps, air," he livid, "you wouldn't object to telling me how old you are." "Il Oh no. I'm 63 ---almost 64," answer ed the old ratan, with a sigh. "Indeed!" said the other. "So old as thatt Well, well! I shall be 71 on my next birth day." Ile spoke the truth, but the man of 63 went out of the car looking as if he thought himself the victim of a very poor joke.
