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.

PACTS FOJtTHiq I'
CIcniilltiCHHlii Milking.
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
