Berlin has conceived a novel plan of
furthering the right developement of
children. This provides for the inter
change of city and country children.
Thus the poorer classes of Berlin,' who
cannot afford family outings, are en
abled to send their children to the coun
try, and in exchange they receive tho
childreu from the country home, who
are thus provided with the liberal edu
cation town life affords. Keciprocal
selfish interest in their own prompts
considerate treatment of the visiting
children in each home. The plan works
so successfully the intention now is to
extend it and make it international, es
tablishing an exchange of children be'
between different countries.
The only opposition to the 860,000,000
River and Harbor grab in Congress,
Bays the N. Y. World,comes from mem
bers who think they are not getting
their share of the "pork." Most of
these live unfortunately in StateB that
have neither harbors nor river that are
navigable within any rational meaning
of the word "commerce." But this un
pleasant fact does not modify in the
least their appetite for a slice of the f&t
appropriation. How would it do, in
order to render the "divvy" more equal

suffocation, if not of starvation, when
Bhe was found—alive but very weak-in

Tabby's mistress gave this account of
the matter: PUBS "had performed
^tracheotomy, neatly slraving off a
circular patch of hair on her throat,
and cutting the windpipe-oh! wonderful
animal below the part where the bone
Btlll stuck." Puss "was breathing when
found, through the orifice that she had
herself made." The happy owner now
easily removed the bone "treated the
wound antiseptlcally," BB she said, and
nurBed the cat' back to health. To tell
that her pet had merely scratched her
self to pieces, in her pain and breath"

First select a good dairy of cows.
Feed them grain nine months of the
year. Give them plenty of pure waters,
and salt them every day, Be regular
in attending them and keep in a good
warm stable in "winter. Always be
kind and quiet with your cows, as you
very seldom see a kicking cow conquer
ed by kicking back at her. Be sure
that your milk goes where you get good
•returns,. Keep yggvfasm well fenced
anu you will not hafe unruly cows.
Keep good roofa on all your buildings
and as you can see that all other repuirs
are looked after. Keep a year's wood
cut ahEad. That gives you dry wood
to burn all the time, which is economy
and besides makes home more pleas
ant. Keep as many (jiorseB as you can
make use ofn the fa?m. Be sure to
have a gentle one safe for your wife to
drive. Care for them the same as you
do othy stock. Do not distress them
with check rein, blinders, or overload
ing. Your horse has the same right to
be happy at his wo,rk that you have.
Unkindness to dumb animals is a
certain mark of cowardice and igno-'
ranee.
Itaise such crops as are adapted to
your land. Set out a good variety of
fruit trees, such as apples, pears, plums
and cherries. Have a little patch well
fenced in for berry bushes of all kinds.
Set out some shade trees. Keep all
loose things picked-up around your
buildings. Sow plenty of wood aBhes
on your lawn, which will result in a
good thick sod and keep it well mowed
with a lawn mower. See that the stones
are kept out of the rOad in front of your
house anyway, and as far as your farm
reaches if you can, and you will have a
place that people will admire as they
pa^B by.—O. J. Farmer.
Boraoic Acid in MilK.
The supreme court of Iowa recently
announced a decision in a case appeal
ed from Polk County which is of very
considerable interest to our reiders, and
especially those who sell milk for hu
man consumption. A farmer near Des
Moines was furnishing milk for city
consumption and made use during the
summer season of a small amount of
boraclc acid to keep the milk sweet.
There was no intentional deception in
the matter, as hu told some of bis cus
tomers at least, that a small amount of
boracic acid was used.
This'
would "promote the general welfare"
quite as directly as squandering the
public' money on sucker brooks aud
mud-Bcow bayous under the pretense of
"improving navigation and commerce."
A beloved tabby swallowed a strong
fishbone, which stuck in her throat.
The cat could neither eat nor drink,
and swelling of the lacerated parts
soon increased so much that the poor
creature WBB gasping for breath. Her
miBtreBS tried to take out the bone, but
it was so lirmly fixed in the throat that
the attempt only tortured the cat, who
lied and hid herBelf. Every possible
search
The case was tried, proof was furnish
ed that the amount of acid actual
ly used was not dangerous to health,
and the lower court decided agamst the
prosecution. The case was appealed to
the supreme court, whicTi last week re
versed the decision jof the lower court,
holding that the addition of boracic
acid, or any other prwervatlve, was in
violation of the Iowa law.
We regard this decision as a very im
portaut one. While the amount of
boracic acid used by the milkman, who
is one of our subscribers, was not det
rimental to health according to the best
evidence, yet had the decision of the
lower court been sustained there would
be no limit to the amount of preserva
tives that would be used by less con
scientious dairymen. There are indi
cations that othet dairymen have used
formaldehyde, which is a deadly poison,
There is no dilliculty whatever in
keeping milk sweet by the use of these
preservatives. However, in the exact
proportion that the preservatives pre
serveB.
that is, arreBts sourness or decay,
just in that proportion doeB it render
the milk indigestible, even if there are
no other evil effects. Milk can be kept
sweet sufiiciently long for its delivery
iu any kind of weather, provided it is
kept cool and the utmost cleanliness is
observed. It cannot be kept

amount of the germs which cause sour
ing. Absolute cleanliness is even more
important than temperature. The
germs which cause souring do not mul
tiply rapidly at a temperature under fif
ty, nor do they multiply with great rap
idity at fifty, or even sixty, provided the
utmost cleanliness is observed.
The decision of the supreme court
will, therefore, tend not merely to keep
temptation away from the milkmen,
but will also do much to promote the
greatest possible cleanliness in connec
tion with dairy barns and milkhouses
and reduce very considerably the sick
ness and mortality liable to occur dur
ing the hot weather among infants and
people of delicate health who use milk
from the dairymen in the cities.—Wal
lace's Farmer.
Farm Separators,
Butter makers kick on farm separa
tors, says The Northwest Farmer. Some
of the butter makers are making a live
ly kick against the introduction of the
farm separator. They might as well
kick against a stone wall, for kicking
will not stop its coming. There is only
one thing that will check i^s rapid intro
duction, and that is better skimmilk
from the creamery. Farmers are get
ting more and more determined to raise
good calves, and they propose to do this
with separator skimmilk.If the butter
makers don't clean up their pump?,
pipes and tanks and give the skimmilk
a thorough pasteurizing, the farmer is
certain to lend an attentive ear to the
farm separator agent, a separator will
be installed on trial and you can count
on its staying. It will then be too late
to protest, for after a farmer pays S100
for a separator he is quite apt to find a
factory that will take his cream. Dairy
men of experience have found that the
best of calves can be raised on good
separator milk, and every intelligent
butter maker knows how to return it in
good condition.
A Suggestion.
There is one way in which the dairy
men can save themselves from the com
petition they complain of trom the man
ufacturers of oleomargarine and reno
vated butter if all will unite in making
the necessary effort, and we know of
but the one way, says The American
Cultivator. When ail will make butter
that is better than the imitation article
and will handle it so that it needs no
renovation, then they will force the
renovators out of business and oblige
the manufacturers of oleo to sell their
product for what it really is—a clieup
Imitation of genuine butter that may
hive its legitimate use in supplying a
class who must obtain a cheap article
or abstaln entirely and,aiao^for Aije on
shipboard or in warm cllm'a)^,' wfrere'
butter quickly becomes rancid. For
these purposes nearly all of the marga
rine exported as such from this country
is now taken. Of the more thin 3,000,
000 pounds of imitation butter exported
during the first nine months of the year,
or our usual annual exports of over
$4,000,000 worth, the greater part went
to Central America and the West India
islands, though Hawaii has lately be
come a pretty customer. Here both
conditions prevail—a climate which
soon causes good butter to become ran
cid and a large class who need to buy
cheaply.
SUITS OF ARMOR.
Th« l.nnl Battle In Which They Wen
Worn by Euroiieuu Soldiers.
The last oecuBiou, it is believed, on
which suits of armor were worn in bat
tle by European soldiers was In 1790.
Th# incident, according to chroniclers
of yie Napoleonic wars, took place in
tliat year, when a small Freueli force,
was holding the little fort at Aquilla
In the Abruzzi against a rising of the
hostile-peasantry of the district.
The French were not strong enough
to light their way through the lines of
their opponents, who outnumbered
them 20 to 1,"while, iis the latter had
no guns, the Frenchmen could hold
their position with contidencc.
There were, however, left on the
space lying between tho opposing
forces some dozen or so guns which the
beleaguered had not been able to take
with them into the fort.
An attempt was made by the besieg
ers to remove these guns by means of
a long rope worked by a capstan plac
ed in a house a short distance away,
an$, though their lirst endeavors re
sulted in failure, the French realized
that the ultimate capture of the ord
nance would seriously jeopardize the
chances of the fort holding out.
The uecesslty of spiking the guns
was apparent, but a sortie in the face
of the overwhelming musketry tire of
the insurgents was out of the question.
At this juncture an idea occurred to an
artillery otllcer. He remembered hav
ing uoticed, In making nu inspection of
the magazine, some old plate armor,
$tnd, selecting from the best preserved
12 suits, he determined to try whether
they would not afford sullieleiU protee-
tion for his men to attempt to work un
dpr cover of their own guns.
Twelve stalwarts, therefore, marched
out clad iu this euiubrous, unaccustom
ed accouternuHit, taking with them the
necessary tools, and succeeded iu :exe
'cutlng their purpose under a hail of
bullets from the besiegers.
THE CRIMEAN WAR.
It Was Started In a Controversy
Over a Door Key.
As an instance of what greut events
can follow trivial happenings the
genesis of tho Crimean war is Inter
esting.
In 1851 Louis Napoleou demanded of
the sultan that the Latin monks should
have a key ,to the great door of the
church at Bethlehem that they should
have a key to*eaeli of the doors of the
Cave to the Nativity aud the privilege
of setting oup taore a silver star bear
ing the arms of'France.
After a year of arduous negotiation
the Turkish government yielded, and
in February, 1S33, the keys were band
ed over to the Latiu monks, and the
silver star was established in the sanc
tuary of Bethlehem.

across the Turkish frontier. At the

Turkey should be secured by treaty
with himself, but the sultau refused
this, with the support of France, Aus
tria and Prussia.
The czar thou proceeded to seize the
Danubiau provinces, proclaiming at the
same time that he had "no intention
to commence war."
The central European countries at
tempted to secure a compromise, but
neither party would agree to their
mediation,, and in October the sultan
declared war.
England and France joined him, and
so from such slight beginnings sprang
