The suit is brought by the Missouri, Kansas Texas Railway and by speculators who have recently bought the lands from the rail- road company. The controversy relates to about 30,000 acres. The railroad company claim that the land was granted it by Congress in 1882. The settlers say the description does not cover the lands in con- troversy.

Supposing a care- ful dairvman goes into his milk~ronm on a warm day, and finds a close and disagree- able smell, which really arises from the evaporation from the milk in the pans. The milk is perhaps put in the pans at 80 ° of tea-perazure in a dairy at 65°. The warm milk throws off vapor in which there ’ is a peculiar odor, sometimes called “an- imal odor,” and which is really much like (if not precisely the same) that of the pers- piration from the skin of a cow, and this fills the dairy. The good carefuldairyman throws open the window, saying, “ It wants some fresh air ;" but he does not think that the ' air outside is 90 or 95° of temperature, and holds 3 or 3.}, oz. of water in suspension per 1,000 cubic feet of it. And so he opens the window, and as the fresh air pours in and feels cool, although it is so warm, because it is cooler than his heated face and is in mo- tion. he thinks, but wrongly, that hefis doin something useful. The air pours in an pours out. and every time it is changed in the room it leaves 2 oz. of water (the differ- ence shown in the table between the mois- l ture of the air at 95 ° and 65 a) on the walls and everything else in the dairy. The next day the walls are saturated, and if of stone or brick and plaster are trickling with water like a heavy dew. Then the mold appears ; the red fungus which owe in round s ots upon the cream in me st air, and the lue mildew (pencillium glaucnm) throws up its miniature forest. he dairyman wonders and is in despair. is a little lime.

This applies to the shallowpan setting, which is indispensable when there is no ice ; and in a dairy of this kind, operated in the summer, the air cannot help but be moist, because the air admitted by necessary venti- lation must necessarily contain considerable moisture.

Hence the dairyman who has plenty of ice is not free from trou- ble, and must take care that the atmos~ phere which he cools by the ice must also be dried in some way, and that without heating. Quicklime is as indispensable in the summer-dairy as ice. It is exceedingly absorptive of moisture, taking up one-third of its weight of it without having any ap- pearance of moistness, and only falling slowly to a fine. dry powder. A peek of freshly burned lime will thus absorb nine pounds of water, or the enormous quantity of four quarts and when one realizes what it is to take so much water from the air, floor and Walls of a dairy-room 10 by’12 ieetsquare and 9 feet high, as has been done in a week, he will have some idea of the value of lime in this respect. In such a dairy-room, I have made the air so dry by the use of lime that the crea_m became leathery, and ventilation Consequently at this season the dairyman needs to exert all his patience, foresight, skill and experience in evading the eii‘ects of the high temperature, and inpreserving his milk and butter from them. \Vhere ice is avail~ able, the greater part of the trouble is avoid- ed ; but where it is not to be procured. the way of the dairyman or woman is indeed hard, and calls for all the care and attention ’ that can possibly be given. Even with the ‘ use of ice the whole difficulty is not re- \ moved, and indeed, without much care. an equally dangerous enemy is invoked. This is moisture, which when in excess causes the growth of various kinds of molds and mildews, and these in their growth produce some of the very results woich are thought to be evaded by the use of ice. Dry cold is antiseptic, but moist cold is not ; and every ‘ person who has used ice in a refrigerator ‘ which is neglected, and left always damp, will recall the disagreeable odor, sometimes called “frowy,” but which really deserves the term stinking, and which accompanies that sticky, greasy feeling given to every- thing that is attacked by one of the lowut orders of plant growth that flourishes in damp air, and is_comm<_>_nly known as slime , [ Simmer dairying calls for all the skill 1 which a dairymau can bring! to his aid in ‘ neutralizing the inevitable « ects of a hi h temper-azure. Heat is the most power ul chemical agent. and decomposes every thin that exists. if the solid metals, rocks an the most refractory substances are melted. reduced to vapor, and their elements forced apart by heat, how much more readily may such a complex and unstable fluid as milk, or so changeable a mixture of fats and vola- tile acids as butter, resist the efl'ects of this extraordinary chemical agent? Moreover these effects are produced in very narrow differences. At 32° snlid ice changes to fluid water; at 212 ° the fluid, which has the some properties of a soii i, being incompres. sible by any force that we can exert, be- comes one of the most ex ansive and elastic vapors, and by a little h gher temperature this vapor becomes a gas, which explodes with tremendous force. And the points at which these wonderful results occur are ex- ceedineg narrow, and confined within the very small limits of 2° or 3 3 only each way. Considering then the nature of this wonderful force, is it any matter of sur rise that it should make mischief in the airy at this season, when not uncommonly the temperature varies 25° to 30° in twenty- four hours, and the atmosphere and every- thing exposed to it, are subjected to a tem- perature of 80° or 90° and even 100° ; a heat which is sufficient to cause any sac- charine liquii to become acid in a few hours or to melt into a fluid, the soft fat of which butter consists, and change the condition of the organic acids which are shut up in it and are waiting for the sufficient temperature at which their elements fl asunder and form entirely different com inationsi And the dairyman has to struggle with this heatâ€" and not this alone, but the condition of the atmosphere, which is equally affected by it, being charged with electricity at times, or is, through its influence, charged with an enor- mous increase of its oxygen in the form of that most active chemical agent ozone, by which in a few minutes a whole dairyfull of milk may be turnedsour. .......... 310 ”"". .. 409 ......... . 540 .... ...... 720 Summer-nude Butter.

Fallowin is the deliverance of the Gen- eral Assem ly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada on prohibition, at its meeting just closed at Halifax :â€"â€"“' That the Assembly declares that the general traffic in intoxicat- ing liquors is contrary to the word of God and to the spirit of the Christian religion 1 that total prohibition would be the most ef- fective form of temperance legislation ; that it is in the highest degree expedient that the State should pass an 0. iii :ient prohibitory law, and therefore the assembly urge upon all the members to use all legitimate means to secure such legislation." This is a wise and timely deliverance. It gives a full and distinct endorsement of prohibitory legisla- tion, without any attempt to dictate to the people how they shall act. If all the Chris- tian churches firmly and clearly take a simi- lar position in regard to the abolition of the liquor traffic, the day of deliverance will soon come.

Kepley, the editor of an ag- gressive little Temperance paper in Elling- ham, Illinois, has struck on a new method of reforming drunkards. In her saunterings about the town she keeps a sharp lookout for men who wobble in their gait or give forth other signs of bigness in the head. Then, once a month she publishes the names in her paper in bold faced type. Whether any converts to sober ways have been ob. tained by this plan is not stated, but Mrs. Kepley has been fined five dollars and costs for putting in the black list the name of a man who claimed that he was not drunk. Theoretically Mrs. Kepley's scheme may be sound and good, but the practical working thereof seems a trifla risky. A Russian physician named Portugalofi' declares that stryohnine is an infallible cure for drunkenness, administered in subcutane- ous injections. The effect of the strychnine solution is to change the craving for drink- into positive aversion. and the change is effected in a day. After a treatment of eight or ten days the patient may be dis- charged. The strychnine is administered by dissolving one grain in 200 drops of water, and injecting five drops of the solution every 24 hours. recently became a member of £116 Prohibition Club on his 100th birthday. then it in in the day time, and during the day it ie advisable to eereen the window" from the sunshine, the heat. of which panes thzough glue moat reedily. while fire he“ will not.
