HE bulletin recent
ly published by
Prof. H. L. Russell,
, of the Wisconsin
< Experiment Sta
r tlon, contains the
following:
Pasteurized and
sterilized milk does
not suffer decompo
sition changes
nearly ao reauitj
as ordinary milk. The' heating
process eliminates by far the
larger portion of the bacteria present
in the milk, and with this diminution
there is a corresponding increase in the
keeping properties of the product;
either milk ought to remain sweet for
a considerable longer period than raw
milk. Pasteurized and often the steril
ized product, however, undergo sootier
or later a fermentation induced by the
bacteria spores remaining in the milk.
These changes diffef from those re
maining we observe in raw milk. The
milk curdles, but the character of the
curd is entirely different, and to the
taste is not usually very sour. These
conditions are brought about by the
presence of bacteria that are able to
excrete rennet, and the soft, Jelly-like
curd seen in boiled or heated milk is
due to this ferment. Lactic acid or
sour milk bacteria, as a rule, do pot
form spores, so they are easily de
stroyed by heat. The destruction of
these widely-spread organisms leaves
the milk seeded with a spore-bearing
rennet and butyric acid bacteria, which
brings the peculiar change which is
noted in pasteurized or sterilized milk.
The physical characteristics of milk
treated by heat compared with raw
•****» no n i uic ai o uiui/u itoo »,v» .
With the sterilized milk there is a
marked change in the physical consti
tution of the milk that cannot be read
ily detected. The application oi heat at
a temperature exceeding 158 degrees
F. for 15 to 20 minutes produces a co
agulation of certain proteld elements,
and at the same time the milk acquires
a peculiar cooked taste. With pasteur
ized milk this change is not so appar
ent, in fact, no cooked flavor should he
perceptible. The physical 'constitution
of the milk is undoubtedly somewhat
modified, even with the lower degree of
heat used. This Is shown in the way
rennet acts on pasteurized milk. The
coagulation produced by this chemical
ferment is entirely different In char
acter, and appears much more slowly
than when acting In fresh milk.
For butter-making purposes, or for
milk .or cream -consumed directly, the
pasteurized process seems to have no
injurious effects on the physical con
stitution of the material. Butter can be
made from pasteurized cream, and
aside from the difference in flavor,
which is produced, there is no observ
able difference in the texture of grain
of the product.
Pasteurized .cream can also be used
Indiscriminately for ordinary purposes,
for ice-cream, whipped cream, and for
general use. Milk treated by the pas
teurized process yields as large a per
cent of butter fat, when separated or
raised by the gravity system, as the
raw milk. By either process the milk
is freed from any diseased bacteria that
may have been derived from the cow,
or may have fallen into the milk »fter
the milk has been drawn from the ani
mal.
Piceon* for Front.
It was In the spring of 1880 that a'
large farmer was induced by the writer
to breed common®pigeons for profit.
Accordingly six pairs of mated white
and blue pigeons were sent from the
city to the farm -and a place boarded
off for their accommodation above a
part of the hay mow. The space was
about 20x16 feet, with a door for the en
trance, and a ladder extending from the
upper beams of the barn. In the center
of this room a square was partitioned
off by railings. In this inclosure were
spread sharp, coarse sand and gravel,
the railing about the inclosure being
necessary to prevent the pigeons from
scattering the sand. A box in one cor
ner of this inclosure was kept filled with
egg-shells, broken mortar and clay in
lumps. In another box at the opposite
side a piece of rock salt was
kept., all this being necessary to
keep pigeons In health. The nest boxes
in which to rear the young pigeons
were made of low, shallow soap boxes.
A box 10x12 inches square and 3 inches
deep serves the purpose. 'Some of these
boxes were nailed a few feet above the
door, some higher up, and quite a num
ber were put on the floor. Any place
will suit a common pigeon. All being
ready, the six pairs of birds were set at
liberty in the coop. The light was ad
mitted by a email window at the ex
treme end of the barn. In tbe course
of a week after the pigeons were liber
ated In their new quarters two pair had
built nests, a little hay for that purpose
haring been provided. The following
week these had laid two eggs each, and
the four other pairs were building their
Bests. Thus two pairs were on eggs
and four others laying and ready to
sit. The following week all were at
work. Pigeons lay two eggs for each
clutch. It takes eighteen days to hatch
them, three to five weeks before they
lay again. Usually a new setting of
eggs may be expected three weeks after
the first hatch. It takes the young ones
five weeks to begin feeding themselves,
but the male pigeon usually looks after
them until they are able to attend to
their own wants.
Tbe first twelve months the six pair
batched and reared fully eleven pairs of
young, or sixt: - two pairs in all. -These
sold (or $26.40, or 40 cents per pair, de
livered in the city. It cost Just $7.65 to
(eed and keep them. The profit la
plainly visible. Who say? pigeons are
not worth their keeping? This old
fanner was very bitter against pigeons
of all kinds until convinced to the con
vinced to the contrary. The next
season he kept one hundred pairs
of breeders, and his success was
equal to the first season, but the first
coop had to be enlarged. He tells me
now that his pigeons keep himself and
wife in shoes and clothes and leave
something over.
One of the essential points in keep
ing pigeons is to have the sexes equal.
If there is an extra male, he will make
an attempt to secure a mate from the
other males, and thus break up the mat
ings as well as keep the colony in per
petual turomil. He must be taken out,
or a mate for him must be procured
from elsewhere.—Ex.
A Cheap Silo.
The Colorado State Agricultural Col
lege is reported to have an under
ground silo which is certainly a mir
acle of cheapness of construction. It
has a capacity of sixty-four tons and
was built at a cost of forty-three cents
for each ton of capacity, which would
make $27.52 for the silo, or, including
the cost of four partitions by which it
is divided, the cost is placed at sixty
five cents a ton of capacity, which
would make the total cost, including
the partitions, $41.60. It is built on a
spot which remains dry the whole
year. Here a hole twenty feet square
and eight feet deep was dug chiefly
with a scraper and team. The stud
ding, two by six , rest on two by six
inch sills and are held at the top by a
plate of the same size. A single layer
of unmatched boards lined with tar pa
per is held in place by perpendicular
slats and these constitute the sheet
ing. Dirt is filled in against the sides.
The silo has no roof and the silage is
covered with straw and six incheB of
mostened dirt, which is said to ■•pre
serve it well. A silo could hardly be
provided for less money than this is
said to have cost.
Raising Geese for the Liters
It was an archbishop of Strasburg, a
native of Toulouse, who introduced in
the district during the last century the
rearing of the Toulouse goose for its,
liver, says an English writer. In the
region of the Garonne, the poorest of
the humblest peasants'rears every year
a dozen geese, and fattens them on
maize or millshorts. The goslins are
brought up like the chickens and tur
keys—members of the peasant’s family.
The geese are only reared for their
liver; that, duly extracted, is sold, and
the proceeds pay the rent. The flesh
is kept by the family, and potted in
melted lard, and this preserve enters
into a variety of succulent dishes in the
regions of Bordeaux, Pau, etc. The
peasants flavor their cabbage soup with
a little of it, and it is more liberally
served at family fetes, and on holidays.
The geese are kept confined and liter
ally stuffed, until there follows a fatty
degeneracy of the liver, and just as this
shows itself with the animal and death
is threatened, the bird goes to the
block, and the liver, now developed
into enormous proportions, goes to the
epicure, who pays a fancy price for dis
eased liver.
A Frightened Horse.— When a horse
becomes frightened, demoralized or
otherwise rattled about something he
encounters, but does not understand,
a good way to quiet him down is sim
ply to talk to him in a good tone of
voice. If a horse gets frightened at
something he sees in the road, stop him
at once and give him a formal intro
duction to it, telling him in the mean
time how very foolish he is to let such
a little thing disturb him. Nothing can
be worse than to whip a horse when he
is frightened. He doesn’t get fright
ened because he wants to. It is only'
because he has seen or heard some
thing that he is not familiar with.
After he once gets thoroughly ac
quainted with the object of his uneasi
ness, it will never frighten him again.
Save the Feed.—With a short crop of
hay reported from all of the principal
hay growing states, he will certainly be
a wasteful farmer who does not stack
the straw carefully and preserve it in
good condition for winter feeding.
Choice new timothy hay is now selling
for $12 to $13 in Chicago, and choice
upland wild hay is bringing almost as
much. At these prices we can well af
ford to sell hay and buy cheap by-pro
ducts, if necessary, to feed with the
straw and corn fodder. We do not ad
vocate raising hay to sell, but we be
lieve in holding the platter right side
up after one year of panic and another
of drouth.—Farm and Dairy.
Prof. Warrington has given the fol
lowing figures as representing the* fer
tility sold in $100 worth of the foods
named; Eggs, $3.56; wheat, $42.28;
milk, $14.08; cheese, $18.88, and timo
thy hay, $95.84. The above speak well
for biddy, and comparatively so for
milk, though the milk was figured on
a higher basis of valuation by the quart
than farmers realize. It brings out
once more the great amount of fer
tility carried from the farm in the
sales of timothy. Hay is a soil robber
for the returns it gives to the exche
quer.
Sanitary Milk.—In the Rural New
Yorker there has been published aseries
of articles on sanitary milk. The
methods of feeding and caring for the
cows are fully described, and the means
employed to eliminate the germs of
destruction or rather to prevent their
getting into the milk. All through the
description "cleanliness” is the thing
to be desired, every detail has this view.
When it is known that this milk Is sell
ing at 12 cents a quart, it shows that
care and labor properly applied bring
paying results.
AMERICAN SCHOOLS.
Fruit* of Their Work Compared With
Forelpli Conntrie*.
Colonel Robert U. Ingersoll gave ut
terance to a few striking educational
truths in a recent address delivered be
fore the surviving soldiers of his regl
ivent at Kim wood, 111. He said:
‘‘We spend more for schools per head
than any nation in the world. Great
Britain spends $1.30 per head on the
common schools; France spends 811
cents; Austria, 30 cents; Germany, r>0
cents; Italy, 25 cents, and the United
states over 92.50. 1 tell you the school
house is the fortress of liberty. Every
school house is an arsenal, tilled with
weapons and ammunition to destroy
the monsters of ignorance and fear.
As 1 have said ten thousand times, the
school house is my . cathedral. The
teacher is my preacher. Eighty-seven
percent of all the people of the United
States over ten years of ago can read
and write. There is no parallel for
that in the history of the wide world.
Over 42,000,000 of educated citizens, to
whom are open all the treasures of lit
erature. Forty-two millions of people,
able to read and write! I say, there is
no parallel for this. The nations of
antiquity Were as ignorant as dirt
when compared with this great repub
lic of ours. There is no nation in the
world that can show a record like ours.
We ought to be proud of it We ought
to build more schools, and build them
better. Our teachers ought to be paid
more, and everything ought to be
taught in the public schools that is
Worth knowing.
"I believe that the children of the
republic, no_ matter whether their
fathers are rich or poor, ought to be
allowed to drink at the fountain of ed
ucation, and it does not cost more to
teach everything in the free schools
than it does to teach reading, writing
and ciphering.
“Have we kept up in other ways?
The postofflee tells a wonderful story.
In Switzerland, going through the

in Germany 53; in France, 31); in Aus
tria, 24; in Italy, 10, and in the United
States, our own home, 110. Think of
it in Italy only 25 cents paid per
head for the support of public schools,
and only sixteen letters And this is
the place where God's agent lives. I
would rather have one good school
master than two such agents"

Paved With Molasses.
Perhaps the oddest pavement ever
laid is one just completed at Chino,
Cal. It is made mostly of molasses,
and if it proves all of the success it is
claimed to be, it may point a way for
the sugar planters of the South profita
bly to dispose of the millions of gallons
of useless molasses which they are said
to have on hand. The molasses used
is a refused product, hitherto boijeved
to be of no value. It is mixed with a
certain kind of sand fo about the con
sistency of asphalt and laid like as
phalt pavement The composition dries
quickly and becomes quite hard, and
remains so. The peculiar point of it is
that the sun only makes it drier and
harder, instead of softening it, as might
be expected. A block of the composi

one inch thick was submitted to severe
tests and stood them well.

Whole Wheat Bread.
A New York physician gets around
the eating of bolted wheat flour by
eaftng unground wheat. The objec
tion to the bolted flour is. of course,
well known—that it is deprived of cer
tain necessary ' nutriments to the
human body. Hence the reason for
eating graham flour. This physician,
however, does not stop with gralium
flour, but eats the grain whole, and
says his family does not tire of it after
Sts use for three years.
If the cooking is well done there is
an agreeable nutty flavor of the wheat
which corresponds to the bouquet of
grapes This flavor seems lobe lost
when the wheat is cracked, crushed or
ground before codking. If this flavor
is not desired, the cleaned whole wheat
may be pounded in a mortar or run
through a coffee mill. This will short
en the time of cooking to four hours or
less, the time required for whole wheat
being eight or ten hours—Good House

being close at handi It may be well for
farmers to get a set of these low metal
wheels wtth wide tires. They can be
had any size wanted from 20 to 66
Inches in diameter, with tires from 1
to 8 Inches wide. By having low wheels,
enables you to bring the wagon box
down low, saving one man in loading
fodder, etc. It (s also very convenient
for loading and unloading manure,
grain, hogs, etc., and will save in la
bor alone their cost in a very short
time. These wheels are made of best
material throughout, and have every
possible advantage over the high wood
en wheels with narrow tires, and will
ontlast a dozen of them. There will
also be no resetting of tires necessary,
and consequently no blacksmiths' bills
to pay. Wide tires save your horses
and prevent cutting up your fields.
