Kit I'erkniN on the Weather. Minneapolis Tribune : Eli Perkins , , he humorist , has been blockaded bore lor u number of days , and is HI in ply I'umpunl upon tbo subject of weather. Flo was approached in the lobby of the Nicollot lust night und asked to toll something of un old settler's experience of this bilmy ; clime : "If you will bo accurate- this inter view , " said ho , with un innocent look , "I shall bo glad to give you exact infer mation. " "Then you consider yourself un old Bottler , do your1" "Certainly. I have settled in Minne apolis many times. The clerk of the Nicollot will tell you that I have never failed to settle " "But loll us about previous cold win- tors. " interrupled tbo interviewer. ' 'Certainly , young man. This gentle spell of weather is mid-summer weather compared to the weather wo used to liavo in Minnesota. I remember many years ago ubout 800 I should say wo iiud u very cold bli//iml. My friend Colonel WiIlium King , the former pro prietor of the Tribune , if I remember rightly , was then u fuir-bairod boy in nocent and JUithsome. Well , ono day , I think it was in 1629 , young King und 1 were shingling u barn right where tbo Nicollot house now stands. This was on Iholib of July. At 10 o'clock a blind ing hli/.zurd came up from towards St. Paul. They snow blackened the sky. It became so dark that Mr. King couldn't see the roof , und nctuully shingled fif teen feet out beyond the ruftofs. " Did you actually boo this , Mr. Per- kinsV" ' See it , young mini I Why , I say you couldn't see anything ; but when the blil/urd subsided there was the roof. You ask Colonel King. " "At another time---in tbo winter of 1701 , if my memory does not fail mo" continued Mr. Perkins , "there was u wind bli/.zartl. It was terribly coldand the wind at 9 o'clock in the morning blow awfully. " "Well , how hard did it blow ? " "Blow ! blow ! " repeated Mr. Perkins , earnestly ; "why it blow Mr. King's cook steve blow it seventeen miles , and the next day came back and got the gridlcs , " "Lot mo see , " said Mr. Perkins , mus ingly , "that winter the mercury fell and fro/.o in the tliermomelors pulled them down otT of strong hooks. During Hint bli//ard I was out in my garden picking strawberries " " \Vliy , how could you pick strawber ries in winter1" "Thoro you go again , young man ! Didn't you como to mo to get correct in formation about previous cold weather1 ! Then you put down truthfully just whut I say , " and the old man pounded the marble lloor with his cuno. "I remem ber all the particulars , for that winter I was arrested for telling the truth , und " "Did they prove it oft you , Mr. Perkins:1" "No , tliey could not prove it. I proved un alibi. Well , us I was saying , I was out picking strawberries , but the snow was bo deep that I picked them down through the snow with tongs. When the snow melted there was four foot of water all over Minncbotti and the farm ers hoed their corn in June with tin dippers. " After the interview was finished it was read over to Mr. Perkins , and ho was naked if it was perfectly accurate. "Yes , " bald Mr. Perkins , "I said all that and a great deal moro ; why didn't you put it inV" Among the president's Christinas presents were a fro/.on watermelon and a live golden eagle. It is supposed that the melon win disposed of at the white house , but Mr , Cleveland , having no place about the mansion for the proud bird of liberty , presented him to the "Zoo" at the National museum to keep company with the bear , deer , prairie dog , wolves and red foxes recently re ceived from the west , and which , it is believed , will form the nucleus of a largo collection of American wild ani mals add fowls. It is i-aid that the biggest quill toolh- plck factory in the wyrld is near Paris.

In splto of the reuinrkablo fuclllllos for news gathering In the present iliiy It Is llkoly that the fucts utul Inoldents of ninny deaths during that storm will not reach the renders of thcso prints for many days. With the moderation In the weather und the resume of railroad traffic the public may now cxpcdt to receive Information mation of the death of intihy others who met their fete In the blizzard of Thursday. In Nebraska the suffering was great , yet It must bo said that the list of fatalities thus tar Is not remarkably largo when the fury of the storm und the number of i > eoplo exposed Is taken Into consideration.

Philadelphia- Record : No estlumto can bo made of the amount of tilth that Isnddcd to the milk during milking , as it cannot always bo noticed , but that the filth docs enter the milk is appar ent to anyone who has witnessed the operation of milking on some farms where dairying irf made a special busi ness. Mr. llonry Stewart , in alluding to this subject , stated that "if many persons living in largo towns and cities should visit the 'milk ' dairies about 4 o'clock in the morning they would see such a sight as would sot their stomachs against the use of milk forever after wards. " It should bo a rule for every milker to wash his hands clean before beginning to milk , niuftliu udder and teats of oacli cow should be washed with warm water ( in which apiecoof washing soda had boon previously dissolved ) and then the udder wiped dry with a clean towel. This may seem unusual to many , but a few moment's reflection will con vince any person who is familiar with milking that it will bo necessary if milk is to bo pure and free from odor and dirt. The cow is not a .clean ani mal in the stall , and does not hesitate to lie down and rest with tilth all around her , especially if she should huvo but liltlo choice in the matter. She is con sequently stanchioned at night in order to prevent her droppings from fouling her bed , but despite all precautions portions tions of the solid and liquid droppings adhere to the udder and teats. And there are some stalls that are only cleaned out occasionally , and the sides of the cow become plastered over with tilth , while the udder and teals also re ceive more than their share. The ma jority of niikors some of whom linvo just taken tobacco pipes out of their mouths proceed to milk without wash ing their hands or the udder , rely ing upon the strainer to catch the hairs and dirt. But lifter beginning the milking the hand * and teals become moist and the liquid dissolves n portion of the tilth , carrying it into tbo pailIho insoluble portions ( such as are not too small ) being hold in tbo strainer. In this manner urine , the liquid portions of manure , , the soluble filth brought into the stall by the foot and the dirt on the hands are carried by the flowing milk into Iho pail , which every upward movement of the hand of the milkman liberates moro filth from the udder and adds it in a soluble condition to the milk. Once it has passed into tlio milk no strainer can remove itforliko sugar dissolved in water , it will pass through any substance that permits the milk to flow. This is a very important mailer , for washing the hands und udder is seldom practiced , yet it is very noecst snry. Moro faith in a soluble condition is consumed in milk than in any oilier substance used. Tlio Enclnraod Merino. Western Rural : Tt is very hard work to got out of a rut. All of us are in some sort of a rut. Wo huvo become ac customed to certain things and wo dis like to change. Wo huvo been breed ing a little Merino sheep for years when wo might just as we'll have bred a larger and boiler ono ; and 'wo ' will gel out of that rut anyliSw , sooner or lulcr. There is no sorl of sense in breeding u binull animal when wo eai | brood u largo one of the same breed , aud huvo it just us good. There is u constantly increusing demand for larger rums. Breeders wunt more square inches on which to grow wool , und they want moro mutton. TUero is u growing disposition to recog nise the fuel that good Merino mutton is good enough. The contempt shown by some people for Merino mutton is sheer nonsense. It is un old rut that we are in. A writer recently said that wo cannot reasonably oxpcct to combine in an em inent degree the two fleece and cur- cuss , wool and mutton. Wo may as well look for profits , first from the mutton and second from the llocco. Wo may find it hard work to build up u Merino sheep that shall shear twenty to twenty- five pounds with u curcas weighing from 115 to 12" ) pounds in owes , ana from 125 to 100 pounds in rams , after shearing , but is not beyond the line of possibility with American skill and energy. And now the question comes is it intended to disparage the mutton breed and advise the breeding of merinos ? No. But some prefer the merino , and it is simply intended to urge these who do to do the best they can with the breed. Every body is supposed to desire to do that.Someone [ has called the merino tbo poor man's sheep , meaning by that that they are numerous und .Unit changes on the mutton line can bo moro readily made in many instances , than they can bo through the adoption af the mutton breeds. TlircshiiiK Corn. The Western Rural says that thresh ing corn ( running the stalks und all through a machine ) will greatly en hance tbo value of the fodder. But the question bus risen whether or not corn fodder cut so line us a machine would cut it will not heat. The practice of threshing corn has been adopted by u number of farmers this souson und nut- urully they speak highly of the fodder. For sheep or other animals tbo value of corn fodder is increased by culling , or tearing it to pieces. Ono Iowa farmer * is reported to have thrashed moro than 1,000 bushels out of the shock. lie says that the fodder is torn into shreds and although the corn is sometimes broken , itiseleun. In thrashing corn this far mer says tlmt the draft is lighter than in threshing outs. There is no doubt that the method will bo generally adopted und it is possible und probable that machines will bo made for that es pecial purpose. Feeding Sliccp. It is un easy rule for feeding bhcop , lo feed what they will eat. Wo huvo num erous inquiries , bays the Western Rural , in consequence of tlio shortness of feed , as to'what to feed sheep. When there is plenty of everything it is well to dis cuss the question , oproger .feeding. When feed is short.about all that can bo done is to lay down the simple rule tlmt wo have stated , . In fact , the rule is not to bo ultogelhrdisrogurded at any time. There may lieund is a choice of foods among those Unit sheep will cat with u relish , but it is a mistake to feed what they do not relihh. Nature guides the animal in such matters with a con siderable degree of certainty. The fact that all animals neoft a change in food should bo fully recognized , though borne erroneously claim that sheep do not Any animal will tire of u food that is fed exclusively for months , and when in that condition they will not do as well us they ought to. ( Seasonable Hints and StiKRCbtlons , Corn fodder is receiving moro atten tion us food for fast horses. If pulled when just turning yellow and cured on the btalks in bundles where they will not lie on tbo ground the blades will bo free from dirt , and therefore moro suit able for those animals that are subject to heaves. They uro fed in bundles or after passed through u fodder-cutter. In confatrucling a stable , or other place for the accommodation of btock.it will bo of great advantage , us well us save food.uud labor-if the building bo first-sheathed with any kind of rough boards , und tarred paper ( or tiny kinuof thick , heavy paper ) placed on , following with the weather-boarding. Such u stable will bo free from cracks that al low the wind to outer. A strong solution of red oak bark is wild to bo un excellent remedy for chicken cholera. It is mixed with the food , and also added to the drinking wulor. A cement lloor is not the best for u dairy , as it absorbs the drippings of milk and becomes foul in u short time. A good lloor Is of mulched plank , with light joints and palnled. so Hint it will absorb no moisture. Whatever drip pings that should fall from the churn could bo washed oil such a lloor without leaving anvtruces , Uriel : is quite us absorbent its cement. A llugstonc lloor with close joints sut in cement is the best of all. Sprinkling kerosene ou the walls with a watering pot is an excellent mode of ridding buildings of lion lice. A tablespoonful - spoonful of kerosene added to a quart of buttermilk , the mixture sponged over the animals , is claimed us excellent to rid stool : of lice. A good mess of cooked turnip' ! , fed warm , will bo of moro benefit to the pigs on cold days than any quantity of corn. Experiments show that 11 pays to grind Iho cob with the grains of'corn , a.s it possesses nutritive dualities. Hogs require some kind of coarse , bulky food. Too much grain and noth ing else is detrimental. A touspooiiful of u solution made by dissolving a pound of copperas in two gallons of water given in the drinking water will servo as an excellent tonic to dobilitalud animals. Give it once u day.It It would not be u loss of time lo look over the seeds this mouth. Some kinds , such as peas , sweet corn , beans , melons , etc. , can be easily picked over and the imperfect specimens discarded. Animals of vicious habits should never bo used for brooding purposes , us vices are transmitted. By careful breeding in this respect Iho dispositions of the animals can be partially con trolled. At this season the only mode of giv ing i the colts exorcise js to turn them out into the yards , but 'on fair days , if they bhoultl be allowed in tbo fields , where they can have an opportunity to run , it would ho bcnellciul. If an hour during the day should bo Ihus given them they might bo kept in the stalls without injury. Cottonseed meal should "fee used only in { sutllcjont quantity to balance coarse grass , uiiel rough forugo. If fed in this munncr , it Will assist in rendering Iho food moro digestible , and ulso supply those elements that may bo lacking in the coarse food. It may bo ultornulod with linseed moul is preferred. It has boon conceded by these inter ested that no profits can bo realized from creameries the first year , uut that , with experience , good profits will bo hud thoroaftor. Many swine breeders regard a solid earth floor the best f or a pig pen. It must bo high enough to bo readily drained , so us to bo dry at all times. It is also cuslomury with some breeders to remove from six to eight inches of these uiirth floors every spring , drawing the manure-soaked earth on to the fields und renewing the floors with now earth. A farmer "llccce his " may sheep , but if he should try to fleece bis farm ho would got loft. A yearling that will weigh 700 pounds is worth more than two weighing 400 pounds each.
