How to Make Koutxuss.
A quart o£ fresh milk, a fifth of a
cake of compressed yeast, a tablespoon
ful of sugar. Dissolve the yaast in a little
lukewarm water and mix it with the
lukewarm milk and sugar. Put the
mixture into strong bottles (beer bottles
may be used) and cork them tightly.
Shake ths bottles for a few minutes to
thoroughly mix tho ingredients; then
place them on end in a refrigerator or
some cold place to ferment slowly. At
the end of three days lay the bottles on
their gjdes mid turn them occasionally.
Five days will be required to perfect
the fermentation, and then koumiss is
at its best. Il will keep for a long time
in a cold plane.
Soak a piece of flannel in warm wa
ter; then squeeze it until it feels dry.
Dip gently into soma powdered chalk
and rub the painted snrSaqo with the,
flannel. Next wash the surface with
s—an water in a t/ponge and dis' with a
p~oe of wash leather. This method does
not injure the paint, like soap, and pro
duces a very good result.
How to Make Limowater.
Take a lump of pure lime as largo as
a goose egg aud put it in a quart glass
jar; fill the jar with cc,ld water and let
BtanH. What is not absorbed by the wa
ter will remain in the bottom; then
fill the jar again with water. Two tea
apoonfulß to a tumbler of milk is the
■tight proportion.

COOKING GAME.
How to Test Wild Fowl—The Proper Way
to Prepare Them.
The breasts of all birds should feel
thick and firm.
Grouse are old if,' when held up by
the r.nderpart of the bill, it does not
snap across.
Partridges when young have V shaped
ends to their long wing feathers, dark
bills and yellowish legs.
Pheasants should, if. cock birds, have
the spurs short and round. They require
longer hanging than some kinds of,
game, otherwise they have less flavor
than a fowl. They are really not worth
eating till the blood begins to run from
their bills when hung up by their feet.
If really liked “high,” allow them to
hang till the feathers under the tail
drop. c
Birds must bo hung in a dry place
with a strong current of air through.
They arc best tied up loosely in coarse
muslin or in a gauze hanging meat safe.
Do not pluck or draw thorn till re
. quiver! for cooking. If the wottffior is
damp or “muggy,” a few days will bo
all that you can keep them.
Al! game requires to to quickly baked
or roasted before a clear, brisk fire and
kept thoroughly basted, especially if it
has to be cooked in the oven. Use but
ter for basting. Never have it overdone.
Wild , duck and teal are by many not
considered worth eating unless under
done.
In every case-it is an improvement to
have a slice of raw fat bapou tied over
the. breast, it being very important to
present it getting in the ■ learft degree
dry or hard. A vine leaf is frequently
placed under the bacon whoa cooking
blackcock, quails or ortolan.
The average time for roasting game
is as follows:
Babcock and pheasants, 45 minutes.
Gronsa, partridges, ptarmigan, 30
minutes.
Wild duck, landrail, woodcock, orto
lans, quail, 20 minutes.
Widgeon, teal, snipe, plovers, 15
minutes.
How to Wash tbo Hair.
Don’t wash the hair too often. It
W-eakens it. Onoo a week in summer or
once a month iu winter is sniSoient.
Always dry the sculp carefully arter
washing. Use tepid water, with a little
bicarbonate of soda added, and for soap
that containing, the least alkali aud
most glycerin is the best. Don’t strangle
your hair to death by braiding it tightly
at night. Don’t crush its life out by
heavy pads, hats or bonnets. Don’t poi
son it by quack nostrumsand lotions and
don’t starve it for need of a good hair
tonic at times. Trim it at least onco a
month. Nothing is a more valuable pre
ventive of falling hair than this. 1 Brush
it st least once a day, and use a brush
with long bristles, soft and yielding.

“Maw,” said Johnny after he had
surveyed his baklheaded uncle for
several moments, “Uncle George
has had his forehead raised so peo

the urchin meditated a minute and
exclaimed, “By jingo, he’ll get tired
of that, though, for he’U have more
face to wash. ” —Adams Freeman.

First Prize Guernsey Heifer at the New

The Guernsey cow is becoming more
popular every year, especially in the

York to tho handsome red and white

skin her admirers call it. At the same
time we are sure that cow fanciers are
coming more aud more to love her for
herself alone.
For a 2-year-old tho young cow in
the picture has a very Well developed
udder aud fine dairy points, and it was
this combination that gave her first
premium in her class, which was an
unusually strong one, at tho New York
State fair. She belongs and was born
and bred near Syracuse.
Gocd Way to Pack Butter.
Butter is never so good as when used
within one week from the time it leaves
the churn. It possesses then a delicate
aroma and a peculiar, indescribable fla
vor, which soon passes away and is nev
er present thereafter, but butter proper
ly made can ba kept sweet aud in good
order for months.
Get the butter in good condition a.
soon as possible after churning and pack
it firmly in gallon or half gallon jars.
Those containing five or six pounds ar;:
preferable. When tho jars are brought,
ask the seller, as ho marks the weight
qf each, to number them, so that a rec
ord of tho amount of butter in each j.ir
can readily be kept. Pack the jars level
full, tie a round piece of strong, thick
cloth over the top and place it bottom
side up into a new, largo erock. Do not
pack butter made at different times in
the same jar, but store only those jars,
that can be filled at one churning.
Make strong brine, using all the salt
tho water will a! orb, adding to each
gallon a teaspoonful of Saltpeter and a
teaspeonful of n. :::ir.!:Reil sugar. Scald
the brine and .skim it tlwroughly. When
cold, strain through a wet thick, cloth
into the crock. Add more brine from
time to time to keep tho jars cover. :!
two inches in depth. Tie a thick cloth
over tho crock to protect from dust, and
over thia place a wooden cover to ex-,
elude the light.
Do not k«e.p the crook on the cellar
floor, even if it is a cement one, but on
a platform, if possible, with slate un
derneath the crock to insure free circu
lation.of air. This will prevent mold,
forming on the bottom of the crock.
Several smaller crocks may bo used in
which to store the jars rather than use
the large crock. To clean jars and crocks
use a bath of hot lime water or strong
hot soda water.—Exchange.
Successful Cream liiponing.
Ever cn tho watch for anything that
will improve my own condition or that
of my fellow dairymen, I give you the
result of an experimental improvement
.1 have made in my dairy tho last sea
son. I am following winter dairying
aud making butter for weekly delivery
'to special customers. I know that to
hold the trade I must make perfect but
ter in winter as well ns in summer. I
had found it difficult to got perfect fla
vor, color, texture and grain in winter
so as to rely on tho product. I learned
that ripening or souring of the cream
was the result or the growth of bacte
ria. Reason taught me that there was a
period in the development of these bac
teria that was better calculated to make
perfect butter than any other. I also
knew that it was as impossible to mix
bacteria of 12 hours development with
that of 24, 36 and 48 hours’ growth and
call it all 24 lx>ur bacteria as to mix
peas, beans, oats and corn, together
and call it all oats or beans. I be
gan skimming the cream sweet (from
cans), putting it in water below 48 de
grees and ’• keeping it all sweet until I
had enough for a churning. I then put
the cream in cans and put them in
a cream ripening box of my own
device, warmed it to 65 to 66 de
grees, kept it all stirred until properly
ripened for churning and found that it
made the finest flavored and most per
fect grained butter I had over produced.
•We have not had a churning that re
fused to come in reasonable time (so far
as I know) the whole season, I have
found it far ahead of any system I have
ever tried before.—Cor. Hoard’s Dairy
man.
Mix Your Ovra Feeds.
This seems a good time for us to warn
our readers against buying mixed feeds
of any kind. They are as a rule a delu
sion and a snare. One should be sure
of what the mixture is composed. The
mixing is usually done eo that the mix
er can make money by putting in some
worthless stuff. One had much better
buy the different feeds and do his own
mixing..—Exchange.
Sonic Pcoplo Boast.
Some people boast that they keep the
cow’s udder clean, and perhaps they
do, but all the rest of the animal is left
in a filthy condition. The dirt dries in
to the hair, and then the act of milking
shakes it down, like dust, into the pail,
rendering the milk unfit for human
food.—Connecticut Farmer. _•
Patmore’s Wit.
In the early days of the Franco-
Prussian war the Emperor William
was in the habit of sending tele
grams of a somewhat religious
character to the queen. The late
Coventry Patmore, the English poet,
hit this off in the following skit:
By will divine, my dear Augusta,
We’vo gained a tattle—such a buster.
Ten thousand Fren< lunon went below.
Praise Gud from whom all bles’ings flow.
MILKING MACHINE.
There Is No Isoubt That It Does the
Work Thoroughly.
There is a machine apparatus which
has been very successful in extracting
milk from the cow’s udder in Sweden.
It is the machine known ns tho laotntor,
quite different from the Thistle milker
invented in Scotland.
One Swedish lactntor is calculated
to draw the milk from 10 cows, and two
men can milk 100 cows at the same
time. A correspondent of Hoard’s Dairy
man visited tho farm of the inventor
of the lactator in Sweden and de
scribes for that paper what ho saw. The'
apparatus is complicated. Its arrange
ment reminds one of the many jointed
steel fingers of the typewriting machine.
To our mind, however, there is one
fatal objection to it, an objection that
holds good in regard to various other de
vices used in connection with milk.
That is tho large amount of rubber tub
ing employed. It is no use talking,-
milk cannot be made to pass through
rubber tubing without injury to its
quality. It there were nothing else, tho
impossibility of thoroughly cleansing
the inside of tho tubing would" stand
insuperably against it. But when we
add to this the fact that white lead
which is a poison, is always used in the
preparation of rubber goods, also the
fact that tho rubber itself is accompa
nied by a smell and flavor that cannot
be got rid of at all, wo have reasons suf
ficient for banishing this material from
the dairy. Mr. F. W. Woll, The Dairy
man’s correspondent, writes:
It is a complicated piece of apparatn
in its construction, made of aluminium
and weighing about 7 kilograms (15.4
pounds avoirdupois). There are four
similar parts in each lactator, one for
each teat. These work from a common
axis, independently of each other and
alternately so that the different tests
are pressed one after another. The milk
ing is done by pressure of the teats anil
agitation of the udder in something like
the same manner as in case of hand
milking. The milk comes out of the
teats iu small jets at tho rate of abotil
a quart a minute. The timo required
for milking clean with the lactator is,
however, a point which has been criti
cised, and where improvement will
most likely be made before the machiue
is placed on tho market. The milk
streaming out of the different teats is
conveyed by means of rubber “teat pr.o
toctors, ” fully inclosing the teats, into a
common, small aluminium bowl, which
has a movable lid, where the amount of
milk coming down can be observed, and
also a rubber ball closing the opening
below. When tuo milk runs down into
the bowl, the rubber ball will, of
course, rise to the surface of the milk,
aud thus allow the milk to run out from
this. Tho bowl or cup is connected by
means of a stout piece of rubber tubing
with the milk cans hanging in front of
and above the cows. Tho transfer of the
milk to the cans is affected by means of
suction, which acts as long- as there is
any milk in the bowl. When this is
empty, the ball will close the hole be
low, and no farther suotion will there
fore take places. If the machine is not
disconnected at this time, its action on
tho udder will then only be. a kind of
massage, which ■ can have no injurious
effect ou the udder or on the cow. The
suction stops when the last drops of
milk’are taken cut of tho bowl, and
there can therefore bo no such thing as
drawing blood from the teats by milk
ing too long. That the suction has noth
ing to do with the process of milking
itself, but only with the elevation ot
tho milk from the bowl or small reser
voir to the milk can, is shown by the
fact that the lid of the bowl does not
seal it hermetically, and that tho suc
tion is continued uninterrupted if the
lid is taken off.
The lactator is attached to the udclor
by means of a light harness that easily
and in a moment may be adjusted to
each cow.
The power required to run tho lacta
tor was given as one horsepower for ev
ery five machines used, and the running
expenses may be estimated on the basis
of this figure. The influence of the ma
chine milking on the cows, according
to the experience gained so far, seems
very favorable. The cows take well to
the new order of things from the first
time tho lactator is used and seem un
concerned while tbo milking is going
. on. Tho cows that were being milked
as I entered the barn at Lilia Ursvik
that afternoon certainly seemed thor
oughly satisfied with their lot, chewing
their cud and apparently caring in no
way for what was going on’at thoir ud
ders. The clockwork action of the lao
tator must a priori bo more stimulating
to the milk secretion than the change
able work of a man or a woman who is
more or loss in a hurry.
Hairy aud Creamery,
Five rennets will usually make a
quart of liquid rennet extract. The
calves’ stomachs must ba soaked in a
strong briue 10 to 12 days. Tho brine
should bo strong enough to float an egg.
A teacupful of cider or wine vinegar
added to the brine will make it stronger
yet. After the rennets have been duly
soaked in this way a teaspoonful of the
resulting liquid will curdle three gal
-lons of milk. That is to say, five calves’
stomachs will make a quart of extract
aud one toaspoonful of the extract will
curdle thi-eo gallons of milk.
No self respecting dairyman or cream
ery man or woman will attempt to do
anything without a dairy thermometer.
It only costs 25 cents.
The claim is made that with the
Thistle milking machine a boy can milk
60 cows in half an hour.
The New York Dairymen’s associa
tion meets at Delhi Deo. 8 and 9. Mr.
J, D. Smith is its secretary.
An ordinary sized cow can consume
four pounds of cottonseed meal in her
food a day without injuring herself or
tho butter made from her milk. Moro
than that, however, is fed at a loss of
flavor in tho butter. The cottonseed m?al
may be substituted for bran. '

MoriUK Stroet Crowd.
A sow days ago an unpretentious
looking vehicle was standing near
tho curb on Pennsylvania avenue
near tho Seventh street transfer
station. In tho wagon was a largo
pine box and upon this a smaller
box of cherry. This smaller box
proved upon inquiry to be a cam
era for making the long bands of pic
tures used in phantoseoi>e, cinema
tographe, vitascope and all the va
rious members of the constantly
growing family of “scopes” and
“graphs,” devices for exhibiting a
series of rapidly shifting photo
graphic transparencies, arranged
successively, so that one blends into
the other uninterruptedly, giving
the impression of objects in motion.
A photograph of the moving crowds
at tho transfer was being made by
Mr. C. Francis Jenkins, who told a
reporter about the methods and
mechanism employed in tho process.
In company with Mr. . Jenkins,
who carried the box in his hand,
tho reporter visited the laboratory,
which was a dark room, where the
strip containing the pictures was re
moved from the box. -And dark the
room is, too, after being ont in the
bright sunlight, the only light visi
ble being a red globe swinging from
the ceiling.
Upon entering tho room a tick,
tick, tick, not unlike the sound of a
clock, is noticed, and as soon as the
ayes beeoftie accustomed to tho semi
darkness of the subdued illumina
tion it is found to proceed from the
far sido of the room, where a little
machine is busy stamping out tho
tiny square holos along ths edge of
the tape, or “film,” as it is called.
These little holes are punched along
the edges of the film to insure per
fect register, as was explained..
The punching must, be dona with
extreme accuracy, but so skillfully
is tho mechanism designed and so
delicately made that it can bo trust
ed to care for itself, running all
night, when occasion requires, with
out attention, punching out its myr
iads of little squares of celluloid,
h hich for all tho world resemble in
miniature the piles of sawdust in -
tho mills. Tho pictures are three
fourths by seven-eighths of an inch,
and are laid on, in the camera, at the
rate of 2,000 a minute and up.
After tho photographs arc made
the film is developed and dried and
automatically fed, in contact with a
like strip of sensitive film, beneath
a powerful incandescent lamp and
“positives” printed therefrom, very
much as a cylinder press prints tho
long strips of newspaper. This ex
posed film is taken into another
dark room, whoro it is spirally laid
on to a large cylinder rotated by an
electric motor. This cylinder is sup
ported in half moon shaped bearings
uttlio ends of a large trough re
sembling the great wooden sugar
troughs in which our grandfathers
used to catch the sap of the maples.
The “developer, ” a dark colored
fluid, is poured on from a pitcher,
the film continuing to rotate therein
until fully developed. The end of
the film first laid on is then fastened
to another cylinder, which quickly
rolls it off the first and passes it
through another bath until it is
“fixed,” whatever that may mean.
Then tho film is given a thorough
washing under a long tube pierced
with dozens of little holes, from
which the water is projected in tiny
streams against the passing film.
The washing is continued for half
an hour, when the film is reeled off
on to a drying rack and hung up,
where, under the forceful action of
electrio fans, it is soon converted
into a hard surfaced, flexible band,
50 feet long, containing 800 pictures,
but which is rolled up until it is

Aside from the extreme simplicity
of the apparatus, its automatic char
