CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOP. NICKEL.
EQUU ! In Duetilu StriMiK'li find Costs
Mui'lt I..es.i to I'riiduoe.
A new metal called inonel , which is
expected to cau < e something of a revolution
elution in the industrial world , is bein
produced at the works of the Canadian
Copper Company at Sudbury , Out. , says
the Xew York World. It is cheaper
than nickel , and it is claimed that it
possesses all the qualities of the for
mer.
Monel is a compound of copper , nick
el. iron and one or two other minerals
which are found in the district , and its
Importance lies in the fact that it is
much less costly than nickel , is less li
able to rust and will serve all the pur
poses for which nickel is at present
utilized. The company has now got
beyond the experimental stage in the
production of this new metal. It costs
very rnucii less to produce it than nick
el , as the costly re lining process is dis
pensed with.
It was the result of some experi
ments made by F. II. Clergue and his
chemist , Mr. Sjostedt , aiming at the
production of nickel steel for naval
armor plates , that turned the attention
x > f the Canadian Copper Company to the
possibility arising from nickel alloys.
What greatly facilitated the experi
ments was the fact that the melting
point of nickel and iron are practical
ly the same , while that of copper is
very little higher.
The new metal is said to be of equal
ductile strength \\ilh nickel and to pos
sess all its other essential qualities ,
hut it is not yet claimed that it would
serve the purpose of nickel steel used
as armor plate.
The lleiiii-Hphere Season * .
Since the earth is much farther from
the sun when it is summer in the
northern hemisphere and whiter in the
southern than when the seasons are
reversed , .it might be supposed that the
climate would be more extreme in the
southern half of the earth than it Is in
the northern. The actual difference is
made slight by the fact that the pro
portion of land to water is much great
er In the northern hemisphere.

ZUnflilnei Ifnril to Clean.
The annual report of the Wisconsin
experiment station says : The conta
mination coming from the interior of
the udder Is the same whatever the
manner of milking. The utensils em
ployed In hand milking are easily kept
clean , being of such simple construc
tion. The milking machine is some
what complicated In its construction ,
because of the difficulty In conveying
the milk from the teats to the receiv
ing can. For this purpose several rub
ber tubes , varying hi length from six
Inches to several feet , are used. These
are difficult to clean. They can not
readily be washed free from ihe milk ,
they can not be dried so as ? o prevent
bacterial growth , nor can they be steri
lized without Injury to the rubber toy
passing steam through them. The only
way to keep them in a sanitary condi
tion Is to rinse them with cold and
then with warm water and finally Im
merse them In an antiseptic solution
between the periods of use.
Sour Milk.
The sourness which occurs in milk
Is due to the action of micro-organisms
living cells so small that they can
only be seen by using a strong micro
scope. These micro-organisms live on
the sugar of milk , lactose , and change
it into lactic acid , so those small or
ganisms are called lactic acid bacteria.
These micro-organisms are more nu
merous and more active in summer
than In winter , and they grow most
lapidly when thy milk is kept warm.
Therefore if milk is to be kept sweet ,
it is ne-'cssary to col : ) it as quickly as
possible after it is drawn from the cmv
and keep it cool until needed for ust > .
There are other nm-i'o-organisins which
multiply in milk and injure It as a
food for human ' ! i inis. Some of tin-si ?
are found in the milk when freshly
milkfd. but mo f of them find their
way into the milk from the dirty barn ,
soiled hands of the milkers , or unclean
milk buckets , strainers , separators and
pans. All milk utensils should be
rinsed in cold , clean water as soon as
emptied. tlen washed In clean , hot
soapsuds , scaidcd with boiling water ,
and placed where they will be free
from dust , but exposed to fresh air
ami sunshine , if possible.

and add to this about live drops of
tincture of prickly ash for each hun

day. The old remedy of wood ashes
and salt is good in many Instances. A
little powdered sulphate of copper ,
dried sulphate of iron , or charcoal
given daily when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good. After all , the old adage , an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure , holds good here.
of Irrigation.
Attention has been directed by the
approach of the sixteenth annual ses
sion of the National Irrigation Con
gress , to be held at Albuquerque , X. M. .
to one of the most Important public
enterprises of the time. Under the
authority of the Federal Congress f 00.-
000 acres of land have already been
largely reclaimed from a state of
aridity , at a cost of $15,7-10.000 , and
1.31)0.000 ) other acres are to be re
claimed by the year 1911. at a cost of
$ r l,2GO.OGO. A side light is thrown
upon the magnitude of the govern
ment's irrigation operations by certain
facts that are not suggested by even
the tremendous figures given above. It
is employing , either directly or through
contractors , in this work a very large
number of persons ; it has built rail
ways and wagon roads , telephone lines
hundreds of miles long , sawmills and
electric light plants : has done miles
upon miles of tunneling , and lu.s con
structed many dams. Its present ex
penditure upon the enterprise is nearly
$1.000,000 a month. Not only is the
greatness of this irrigation tisk not
comprehended by most of the people in
the East , but they look upon it with
indifference that is entirely inappro
priate under the circumstances. Irri
gation will enhance the resources of
the country in a most remarkable man
ner indeed , has already done so. It
means greater abundance of food for
residents of Eastern cities : for it will
eventually augment the tillable area
of soil by many million acres. Boston

Vary the Winter Feed.
It is the custom with many feeders
to feed just whatever is most conveni
ent without regard to variety.
During the winter season the ani
mals have no opportunity to secure a
variety of food , as is the case when
they are on pasture. The variety must
be furnished by the feeder , who often
does not appreciate the value of feed-
stuffs. Corn is a good feed , but It Is
a bad exclusive ration.
Cattle and horses will relish an oc
casional feed of straw and leave good
hay for straw. This Is on account of
the relish for a variety. Hogs will
soon lose their appetites If fed exclu
sively on corn.
An animal fed on a single ration
starves In the midst of plenty , since
there Is an excess of some food ele
ments and a lack of others that are re
quired for building up the body. Once
or twice I have tried feeding pigs on
corn exclusively , with the result that
they failed to grow or fatten , but when
a mixture of several grains was used
the pigs would consume more and grow
and fatten rapidly.
Once I fed a pig In the coldest win
ter season on a mixture of corn , oats
and buckwher.t ground together and
mixed with wheat bran , with the result
that the pig made a gain of one pound
in weight for less than four pounds of
food consumed.
The pig was confined In a pen where
he could not get any feed except what
was given him , and the feed was mixed
with pure water. Xo dish water was
used.
The pig was nine weeks old when
put up. live weight thirty-one pounds.
When it had consumed 3S4 poui.ds of
feed it dressed 103 pounds , . which ,
counting for waste in dressing , would
have made just about 100 pounds gain
for the feed. A. J. Lejrg , West Vir
