second, by being dry, mealy and husky, | the fut seeming ro have disappeared.The causes of this condition are either that some sour milk was put in the vag, or that the vat was allowed to get overripe, or that the curd was not dipped soon enough, or, again, that it was not stirred enough in the sink, In short, the acid was allowed to de- : velop too far before salting, In close, muggy weather the clese- muker must bave everything realy ro rut the milk through all the processes without any delay.Another defeetive chicese is the pasty cheese, It is weak in the body.One characteristic is that when you pall out the plug you can't replace it again, Io is wenerally found in the fall and is the resalt of cold making sol curing rooms.There is no time of year when more cure is needed in cheesemalking than in the autumn, The silk is richer, wud to get a firm body you should eut thé card finer (to wot out mere of the whey) and sale a lire hravier.3e sure and keep your curd warm through all it+ stages, The pasty el eso is due to letting the curd got eold in the var or the sink, consequently the acid does not work fast and the wher does not come away freely.If the cheese dues not rind on the outside, itis dne to cold hoops.If your room is cold.warn your hoops in a tub of warm water before filling them.In filling your hoop have the conter the lallostz you can get the whey out better.If you don't get the whey out before the curd gets cold, you will never get it out.Pross vour cheese well at night, «specially in cold weather, 1f you neglect to keep à fire in your curing room in cold weather, in addi- tiou to having a poy cheese you will set à spot cheese that will grow strorg and bitter, Le sure to Lave a stove in your curing roo: when September comtes in, After a cheese is properly cure it docs not require much heat.Put the newest cheeses where they will get the most heat.Atrend to turning your cheeses and so allow the dampness to escape from them, Red spots on cheese are often due to rough handling, Don't let your el, 5 stand too close together on the shel os, They must not touch each other or anything else.Have them in straight rows on the shelves.Fix your press so it will work straight, Take caro of your utensils, Don't get your hoops all bruised up.Have your cheese neatly bandaged, even sized and pressed straight, \u2014 Ad.uress of J.B.Hopkins, Dairy and Creamery, When you buy butter colar, be sure that it is nor an aniline preparation, There is a Yatter color on the market | which is made of aniline and which is a deadly poisou.It killed a ehild that accidentally ssvallowed a portion of it recently, Above all, farmers must be made to understand thet good butter and cheese cannot be made from dirty or tainted or unaerated milk, Thisis the law and the prophets, If a chess has Lecome moldy on the outside, wash it in very hot water intn which you have first poured a little ammonia.There is no sight more pleasing to gods, men or angels than a shining clean creamery or dairy without any slop, dust, spider webs, mold, rust, rottenness, bad smells or filth anywhere to be seen.: AIR RESISTANCE, Bome Inventors Seek to Overcome It by Queer Shaped Locomotives, The Engineer of London illustrates a queer Jooking French locomotive, de- -signed evidently, as sano experimental machines in this country bave been, to reduce air resistance.Regarding this The Engineer says: The remarkable e~ntour of the locomotive we illustrate on this page needs uo comment.From time to time per- sous forget that the end friction of elon- grated bodies moving at high velocities is practically negligible when compared with the side friction apd attempt to reduce resistance by providing the body with a pointed beak or prow, even at the expense of increased surface.It is true Ui.t projectiles are pointed ac the leading extigmity, bat it bas been shown by experiment that the gain in velocity fron so dung is only shight.The pro- jeritle, however, flies more steadily, and at is therefore pointed.Au elongated projectile with an hemispherical end, bur mpering toward the rear extremity, is about as good for flight as Any.The porpoise very closely follows tuis shape, and perhaps the great speed atutiied by this animal is dependent in lurge incusure upon it, An English Sleeping Car.The Grear London and Northwestern Enilreud company has lately introduced, with much satisfaction to the traveling public on that important route, à new description of sleeping car.These cars | were built at Wolverhampton from de- signs by A.C.Park, the well known | expert in this branch, each car being 70 | feet Jong and having six wheel trucks, ;

Management\u2014IIorseshoeing.Among other subjects discussed in the special farmers\u2019 institute edition of tho Iown Homestead is the feeding and management of horses.Following are in brief the more important points emphasized in the discussion: A griat deal is expected of horses and very little attention is devoted to their care by soe farmers.There is quite a difference in the manner of feeding, but all agree that corn, vats and good hay are best to feed horses.One writer goes to the baru in the morning and first puts in any waste hay which has been thrown over, aud has the horses eat that before he gives them grain.This writer finds that 25 ro 80 pounds of solid food are necessary for a 1,000 pound horse.Colts anid horses not accustomed to work are often fed grain whenever the work horses ure fed, which is uot considered economical or the best plan.They should be fed well consistent to growth rather than fut.One nun has brood mares 6 years old that Inow nothing about grain.Most of the advices vo.ceived agree that a good pasture is necessary for horses in surnner, and in winter they necd exercise which my bein pasture or stalliticlds.Whatever feed is employed should be given with regulurity, as well as water, One writor gays Lorses are Kkept too fat, except for selling, while others avrco that many horses are to pocr.Dusty hay should not be given horses, and it is also stated that it should uot be thrown down in front of them, They should be, well bedded and have perfect knowledge of the enrryeonh.One writer runs his oats for horses through the fan.Over- chicks are condemned.Some feed and water while warn, and others eondenm this practice.Sores of all kinds should be guarded against, and little excuse can bo given for permitting sores to come on horses that work regularly, A great deal of injury is done to work tears by getting in too much of a hurry in the spring of the year, Idle horses are better off in the pasture than in the burn.One writer says horses and cows should not be kept in the same burn.He knows this is wrong, for ho has found it owt from practice.Another has a separate pastare near the barn for his horses, su thoy can be turned from the barn to the pasture and can get under shelter when it rains.All farmers should have a better knowledge of the stomach of the horse.Its size is overestimated on account of tho comparison liable to Le made between it aud that of the cow.Farmers are better acquainted with the stomach of the cow than with that of the horse.It is the universal opinion that horses on the farm are better off by reason of no shoes than to be kept well shod.Only horses that are used on the roads should bo kept shod.One writer takes the position that thoy need no shoos at any time.Thero is some difference of opinion about feeding hay.Some believe horses should have all the hay they will eat and others go to the other extreme and feed but onco a day, aud that at noon.The Swine Industry, According to the lust yearbook there aro 40,600,276 hogs in this country, and they aro worth $106,272,770, an aver: age of $4.10 per head, Iowa is the banner hog state, with $3,737,970 and an average value of $5.67.Missouri is sce- ond, with 3,074,329, and Texas is third, with 2,044,008.Thestato with the least pumber of hogs in it is Nevada, with 11,126, an average of one hog to every four persons in the state.New York has 652,524 hogs of an average value of $6.61.The highest priced hog is found in Connectigut, where his averasre value is £9.29, and the state carries in stock 63,737 head of this elegant specitien, The Connecticut hog owes his value to his diet of wooden nutmegs.Ohio is well to the front with 2,284,662, wd Ithode Island bristles all over with 1i,- 250, of an average value of 37.Illinois, in which state Chicago is located, has 2,248, 401 The Iowest priced hog isa native of Florida, and bis averase is \u201cbut 52,08.He is the fainons razor back, and he can root up the titth row of corn through the eracks in the feneo, The Pot.to Outlook, The possibility and probability of po tato Imports ot considerulde magnitude the coming fall and winter form an interesting subject of spreulation.The American Agriculturist reports tine \u201cprices are now close to the fimporting : point, and it will be remeiibered that in years of short domestic crops not alone are a good many tubers brought in from tho lower Canadian provinces, but also from Scotland and oceasionally from the north of Zurope, It is fur from rertain that those countries will have \u201cany to spare the present season.During the seven months ended July 31, which included the period for importing bice- muda stock, a total of 157,000 bushels of foreign potatoos came into this country against 105,000 a year ago.Exports for this period wero respectively 402, - 000 and 299,000 bushels,\u201d Feeding New Oats, An experivneed farmer once told ns that when ho was obliged to begin foed- ing new oats while still moist he had saved injury to his horses Ly giving an cqual bulk with them of wheat bran, As the bran is itself nutritious the amount of oats may be diminished to the extent thut the bran by weight is substituted.As the oats dry out the proportion of bran may be decreased until none is given.Yet in scasons when oats were dear wo have known bran and corn meal used us a substitute tor feeding to workiug horses.\u2014Ameri- ean Cultivator.FORCING HOUSE CROPS.Commercial Fertilizers Used With Profit at the Connecticut Station.A series of experiments to determine | the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid aud potash forcing house crop will use made by*the Counccticut station 1896 | annual report.In the test two kinds of i soil were employcd.One was a compost | consisting of thick turf to wbich oue- | third its bulk of stable manure hud been added, The other consisted of 300 | pounds of coal ashes mixed with about ! cne-third of a pound of pure calcium | carbonate and nine pounds of moss peat, such us is sold in city stables for bedding.The results aro briefly eumia- rized as follows in The New England | Homestead: \u2018 Wity romatoes the crop started in September began to bear in Lece:iber, but vus only seven-tenths as large us the coe started three months Later, when the amount of sunlight was greater, The largest quantities of fertilizer used by any onw crop was equal to 8 pounds 10 ounces nitrate of soda, a pound dissolved Lone black and a pound 12 ounces | muriate of potash per 100 square foot of benel space, The crop amounted to 1.6 peunds of tomatoes per square fuot.Other crops amounting to 18 pounds took wo wore fertilizing material from the soil.To enable plants to get these fertilizing materinls as required,

of usiies and peat, Two-fifths of (bo crop from coal ashes ail peat was harvested Within one week.Tav roots Hrowing on this soil were not if etod by galls, Using the same kind of soils for rad- islzes, it was shown that by tho aid of commercial fertilizers just as good a crop could be raised upon the ashes and peas as upon tho campost, although those planted in the latter matured a little wore quickly than the others, One thowsand bunches, tops included, took from the soil fertilicy equivalent to 2.pounds end 1 ouner nitrate of soda, 10 omees dissolved bone black and 1644 muriate of potash, An average of 518 square feet of bench space was required to raise 1,000 bunches of radishes.With cucumbers 100 square feut of beneh space filled with rich compost produced 851, pounds of cucumbers, From an equal area filled with bituminous coal ushes and peat, 99 pounds were harvested.Asa source of nitrogen, nitrate of soda and cottonseed meal | Were about equally efficient in the coal ashes and peat, but with tio compost, cottonceed meal was decidedly moro effective.Use of Bisulphide of Carbon.It is quite common to use bisulphide, of curbun for tho protection of all grains liuble to attacks from weevil in storage.| It becomes an important question, there- | fore, to know what effect, if any, carbon ! bisulphide has on the germinating powers of the grain, and to ascertain this! the division of botany of the department of agriculture has made n large number | of experiments with 33 different vari- | eties of grain und vegetables, 5 of cot-, ton, 2 of peas, 8 of Indian corn, 2 of Kaffir corn, 2 of barley, 2 of wheat and\u2019 1 of cats.The general conclusion from the experiments was that there was an appreciable difference in the vitality of | wheat, corn, barley or ryo between secd thut bad been treated and that wiih wus untreated, when the seed was trent- ed in bulk for 24 hours at the rate of 1 pound of the chemical to 100 bushels of the grain.Generally the seeds of cotton, peas, beans, buekwheat, onts and the cabbage family nl cowpeas will, endure very severe treatment with the fumes of carbon Hisulphide without injury to their germination to anv appre- ; | ciableextent.On tho other hand, corn, ; | wheat, rye and other crops belonging to the grass amily, except Kafliv corn and oats, should be treated with caution, as serious deterioration in vitality is likcly to result from excessive exposure to tho gas, Keeping Cabbage.The best way a New York city farmer can keep cabbazes fresh the uch the winter is to hery them in

Purposes of Convenience and Accuracy\u2014Tred In France and May | Be Adopted Here, | For a long time the railroad companies have been endeavoring to find an economical, acenrate and practical register.A wost ingenious machine has Just been invented, which manufactures, prints and cuts the ticket automatically on one side while on the other side it registers the number of the ticket, its destination and the price, À simple addition of the numbers lined on this band gives the total of the amounts which the receiver has registered during the day.- Every ove knows that the tickets deliver( d to the station masters are of different colors, according to their class and their destinate\u2019n and whether they are full fare.half rate or excursion.All the tickets are most carefully man- ufsetured.us they represent important sums of money, From the manufaerur- er they are delivered to the main office, and from ture distributed over the whole territory covered by the railroad company lt can easily be seen that the slightest mistake in their manufacture would caus endlesseonfusion.As each station 15 the object of a special fabrica- tien, as the name, the number and the point of departure are always printed upon it 1 may be reajized that an im- mueuse number of pieces of cardboard is prepared.The vimufacture and the registering of such an enormous stock of small pivees of cardboard are so complicated that the ce mipunivs really do not know just where they stand all the time.Mistakes ari trauds are daily commie.ted, notwith=tandinz all the pri cantic.s taken, The machine which is here pees sented bis been izvented with the idea THIS MACHINE FLIPE RAILROAD TICKETS, | of preventing any mistakes or fraud and ' of correctly registering every day t.» exact number of tickets sold and tue amounts received for them.The appuratus is quadrangular in form.At the bottom of tbe hox isa gmail electric motor which sets a nickel plated wheel in motion, this wheel being placed cn a level with the handle on the left side of the apparatus.The long cardboard bands are rolled around three or as many wheels as are necded, situated above the motor and below the composing cylinder.It is this cylinder and its whedls and its teeth, located in the upper pert of the machine, which | constitute the functional secret of the latter.In conjunction with the large exterior woecl, which revolves against: the outside wall on the right of the apparatus, the mechanism works secretly in the iuterior.On this large wheel are inscribed the names of the different stations and the prices of the various trips | When a ticket is desired for a given | point, the large wheel is set in motion until the name cf the station asked for\u2019 comes opposite a small iron point.One of the butions corresponding to the three openings is then pressed, and this sets the in\u2019.rior machinery in motion, and in less \u2018me than by the old fashioned way of stamping, ete, the ticket comes out ready to be used.If more than oue ti.ket fur the same place is desired, continue to press the button as many times as there are tickets needed, \u2018 While the s.uchine is delivering the tickets asker for the same are being mystermously registered in the interior Of the apparatus.An endless band unrolls from the top of the apparatus and \u2018 registers simultaneously with the delivery of the ticket its number, its series, | its destiuation and price.By means of this new machine an iu- gpector weed only present himself at the ticket office, unroll the registering band and say to the ticket seller, ** You should have so and so in hand.\u201d i The railroad companies of the north | and west in France have adopted the new apparatus, and gradually all the roads

accumulate wi them.This is proved by the fact that in mieuy large cities where the consumption is greatest it is neces sary at frequent intervals during the year to flush the sewers for the purpose of removing the deposits which gather there, It is weight and volume of water that are required, and the same rule will apply in the clearing our of a drain or waste pipe.In the ordinary closet a stream of water pours through the valve into the arm of the bowl, then encireles the Lowl, feebly drops into the trunk of the closer, then into the rap awd down the soil pipe.The int rnal cir- cumterence of

geuvity of Lawson Tait.A platinum wire, g0 arranged as to carry a current of eluctricity, is inclosed in the blacks of a pair of steel forceps or any ote.required instrument, the wire for ti.s purpose being insulated by a bed of burut pipe clay.This arrangement be- compressed, and in a few seconds the tissues and arterial walls are so agglutinated thut the passage of blood is rendered impossible.The temperature employed is about 150 degrees F., the fact being thus apparent that the principle involved in this device is different from that of electrical cauterizing instruments.Twinkling of the Stars.A discovery of much interest to as- tronowers has been made by Dr, L.L.J.bee, who is in charge of Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, À.T.The cause! of the twinkling of the stars has always been a mystery, none of the theories advanced baving stood the test of thorough investigation.Dr.See has found mosphere of innumerable little air currents or waves, which dart through the air and cause a break in the light from the star.The çesult is that to a beholder on the cartlvthe star has the familiar appearance of twinkling.These little air currents can be distinguished plainly on nights when this twinkling: is observed most by removing the eye- | piuce of the 1nstrument.; A Simple Remedy For Burns.Dr.Thierry of the Charity hospital of Puris has found

soldier, reformed gambler, convert of tho Bleecker Street mission in New York, manufacturer and, he alleges, lincal descendant of.Heruandez De Soto, Las been arranging to head an expedition to the Klondike\u2014 uot to bring gold out, but to carry the gospel in.De Euto, who will make the trip under the auspices of the Bowery mission in New York, will be nccompanied by six compunions, They will leave New York atout Nov, 1.The party, which includes William Leach, Frederick Bay- lis, Lincoln J.Paynter, G.Carter Carpenter, who isa medical student from the Hahnemann college of Philadelphia; Harry M.Ketler and George Garner, - will walk to the Pacitic const.On their tramp across the continent they will each carry a miner's equipment of pick, shovel, camping kis and blankets.A couple of guns and a shelter tent will also be taken along, Their route will lead through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, tho District of Columbia, Virginia, Uhio, : Kontuecky, Indinua, INinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colerado aud Utah to Califernia, which they expuet to reach the Lutter part of March.From California they will go to Seattle and Juneau, and through tbe Chilkat pass at the earliest moment when the molting of the snows makes traveling practicable.The littlo band of evangelists propose to preach and Lold gospel services at every available peint slong the route mapped ont.The money taken in by collections ut the meetings, it is thought, will be suflicient to defruy their cx penses if they ure frugal.They aro even Loping that they may be able to travel Ly rail frum salt Lake City across the Nevadu déscrtio California.The object of all this zeal is to estublish gospel missions in Dawsen City after the pattern of those in New York.When once tho party reaches tho Klondike, it may te decided to supple- went their gospel work by work in the wines.In case they do John W.Wr- burn, superintendent of the Bowery mission, said the gold obtained would be put into the mission work thero and in New York.As the men that make up the party have been largely recruited from the Bowery mission there has been a great rush among old habitues of the place to join the new argonauts.Dozens, Mr.Wrburn said, who were not fit either physically or spiritually had begged to! be taken along.Those who bave becn choseu have all had experience in mission work, and besides are above the av- erago in many respects.Payuter is a | college man, Baylis has served in the | English cavalry in Africa, but Du Sota Limself Las had the most varicd experience, He fought with the Carlists, was with Garibaldi, in our own civil wur, and finally tock a band in the last war He hus Leen | in Alaska, was a gambler in the Colo- ; between Peru and Chilo.rado mining camps and since his conversion in 1890 has been a staid manufacturer of leather goods at Freuport, N.Y., and a scrious mission worker.But the spirit of adventure is in him still, it seems, aud to that is due this attempt to carry the gospel into the Klondike.\u2014Ncw York Herald, FINGER NAIL JEWELRY.The Latest Fad of the Society Young Woman.\u201cWith rings on her fingers and rings on her toes\u201d is an old way for fair woman
