Suppose, in making butter, we get more or less than the calcuâ€" lated yield. How shall we explain this * If less than the calculated amount of butter is made, the decrease must be due to one or both of two causes, . First,excessive loss of fat in skim milk and buttermilk; and, second, the working or pressing out of too much water. 1f more butter is made than the rule calls for, then it is due tothe fact that more than a fair amount of moisture has been left in the butter, caused by unâ€" favorable conditions of churning, or z imsufficient working. ‘These facts the butterâ€"maker to find out whether he is making mistakes in his work, and whether he is getting the best results in butter ‘Time does not permit me to go into deâ€" tails to show the reason, but much investiâ€" gation has demonstrated the fact that for each pound of fat in milk one should make wbout one and oneâ€"eighths pounds or one pound two ounces of butter. To find out how much butter should be made from 100 pounds of milk, multiply the per cent. of fat in milk by one and oneâ€"eighth.

In the ninth century they began to shoe horses, but, strange to saY, only in time of frost. King Willam I. introduced horseâ€" shoeing into England, and six horseshoes are on the coat of arms of the descendants of the man to whom he gave vast estates for caring for his horses in this _way. No I . ve uy RDDYm m The nearest thing we find to the horseâ€" shoe of toâ€"day was found in the grave of an old King of France who died in 481. There were four nail holes in the shoe, and this is the first mention of nailing on a shoe. It might be well to notice just here the fact that the horeeshoe "kept evil spirits away" even as long ago as in the days of this old King, 1,400 years -g:, and was doubtless placed on his grave for this pur opk writer in the Philadelphia 'lPimfl“::yn: "The superstition that aesociates the horseâ€" shoe with luck is very old, and prevails all through Europe and in Southern Asia, Nobody can seem to settle whether it is the iron of which it is made or its shape that brings good luck.

Hart Merriam, chief of the divisâ€". ion of ornitholegy of the agricultural deâ€" partment of the United States, has analy?â€" ed the contents of the stomachs of hawks, owls, blackbirds, meadow larks and othcr birds of North America, which are supâ€" posed to be strikingly beneficial to O injurious to the crops of farmers. The stomachs of over 7,000 birds taken at different seasons of the year have been already analyzed and the contents determâ€" ined, while some 12,000 are still unexaminâ€" ed. Theresults in some cases have been remarkable showing that popular ideas regarding the injurious effects of certain birds were wholly mistaken, This hah been found to be especially the case with hawks and owls, for the slaughter of which many states give bounties, Pennsylvana in two years gave over $100,000 in hawk wnd owl bounties. . Examinations of its stomachs of these birds proved conclusively that 95 per cent. of their food was field mice, grasshoppers, crickets, etc., which were infinitely more injurious to farm crops then they. {z wns found that only five kinds of hawks and owls ever touch goulu-y, and theu to a very limited extent, The crow is not as black as he is paintâ€" ed by the farmer. The charges againat the crow was that he ate corn and destroyed a?g-. poultry and wild birds, Examination of their stomachs showed that they ate noxious insects and ocher animals, and, though 25 per cent. of their food is corn,it is mostly waste corn, picked up in the fall und winter, . With regard to eggs, it was found that the shells were eaten to a very limited extent for the lime. _ They eat ants, beetles, caterpillars, bugs, fies,grubs, etc., which do much damage, â€" Builetins are @lso being prepared on the cuckoo and other black birds, king birds, meadow larks, cedar pirds, thrushes, cat birds, sparrows, etc. In many cases popular igeu are found to be untrue, In the case of the kingbird killed by the farmer under the impression that he eats bees, it was found that he ate ouly dromes and robber flies, which themselves feed on bees, and which destroy more bees in a day than the king bird does in a year. The kingbird therefore is to be encouraged rather than slaughtered.

Another deep blast from the whistle, and my carriage began to scamper away like a wounded hair in the stubble. Another quarter of an hour brought us to Ramiehâ€" old Arimatheaâ€"one hour from Jaffa, and this Syrian cyclone, this Jerusalem jerk | water, has covered nearly eighteen miles.| I dropped off as the train was coming in, and made a picture of the ‘pretty little station. Ramieh is an old town, in fact everything is old here. Therailway, which was opened only two years ago, is old, and only a few people came to see the train go car, The redâ€"faced station master from Jaffa came from bis cacriage just as the station master of Lydda, came out of the station. Their eyes met, they stopped, clasped their hands, and you coulsf see in a minuté that they belonged to the same lodge. _ The Lgddm tilted his head lliyfinly as a hen does when she sees a hawk high above; then they unplaited their fingâ€" ers, and rushed into each other‘s arms. When they had embraced, the "Chef " from Jaffe held the Lyddan off at arm‘s length and looked caimly into his eyes, as if to say: ** Hust though been faithful to thy trust ?

I began to look at the strange scenes along the line. 1 (On one side there was an orange orchard, whosetrees were laden with golden fruit, On the other was an clive orchard, and here and there tall dnulpnlmu hung there banners to the breeze. In a field near by a native was ploughing with two little thinâ€" legged blond cows, followed by another team which was a strange combinationâ€"a burro and a bullâ€"and just behind that a tall camel came swimming slowly through the a‘z,drawing a wooden plough which had but one handle. Ts is a beautiful valley, called the Plain oi Sharon, and if it was farmed as France ana England are farmed, it would be a veritable garden. Fortyâ€"five minutes out we stopped at Lydda, twolve and a half miles from Jaffe. Here my friend got out, walked up toward the engine, scowled, and returned to the * Window too cool for you*" I asked, venturing another flyer at the Freachman, and he scowled. « Little rough ," I said as a feeler : and my friend blew such a fog into my face that 1 was obliged to take to the window again, The train started slowly,and seemed to be running over & track made of short pieces of rails ; but 1 soon found that the one wheel at my corner had three flat spots on it, and that the two rear wheels had but one. This gave the caran uncertain sort of movement, two short hops and a lon; one. _ I looked at my companion and triog to look pleased. He trowned. I raised the window and tried to see what made the car caper about so, and my travelling comâ€" panion burnt a cigarette. ; Suddenly there was a bustling among the station hands, the bell jingled, the whistle sounded, ard we moved away. .

We landed at 10:30, and by 10:45 we had become tired of the sights and scent of the city. Securing a guide, I waited upon the chief of the Jaffa and Jerusalem Railway. It was Saturday. The managerâ€"whom I could not seeâ€"said he was very busy, but if I would come in toâ€"morrow he would be glad to give me any information I desired I went straight to the station, caught the 12:15 express, and entered the only firstâ€" class carriage in the train, with a ticket for Jerusalem. â€" Tne rowd is a threeâ€"foot gauge, the cars are narrow, and only half of one little pine comch is set apart for firstâ€"class passengers. | Thisspace iscut by a partition, TYE EXPRESS JN MOTION f an hour went by, and Danberâ€"* I heard & fine compliment paid to my painting of ‘Mephistophclea‘ toâ€"day." _ Critiqueâ€"‘* What was thay ?"

A frightful increase in the number of drowning accidents upon the Banks of Newfoundland is reported this year, the victims being priccipally French fishermen from the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. These poor people fish in the very channel of transatlantic steamships, whose lookouts have no difficulty in clear weathor in seeing the small fishmg smacks and keeping out of the way of injuring them. But the fishing is most successfully presecated in dark or foggy weather, or between 8 o‘clock atnight and 4 in the morning, the conseâ€" quence being that large numbers of these small craft are run down and their occuâ€" pauts drowned. Instead of being taught by experience to avoid the course of steamâ€" ships, especially in foggy weather, the fishermen of the little French colony have entered upon an agitation to have the steamships keep out of their way and change their route, They are anxious, i! appears, to have the French ( overnment memorialize the Governments <of other maritime powers to compel ocsan stcaimâ€" ships to pass some distance south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, although their course would thus be mneri.fiy lengthened. * Here are some native women, Christians, they call themselves, with their dowries, which consist of chains made of money, banging on their necks. They are on the lookout for husbands, like an heiress at a summer resort, but they do not expect dukes or counts ! How strange it all seems. There is nothâ€" ing but rocks and scrubby olive trees and dead looking grapevines, and not many of them. ‘The people are strange, too. On the way to the hotel we )pnu all kinds of eople of the Orient. Bedouius on high gones, with their knees cocked up ; plaingâ€" men on thinâ€"legged Arabian steeds ; all manner of men on donkeys and on foct, begging, and even lepers and poor Jews ; Jews with corkscrew curls hanging down in front of their ears, and idle pilgrims who do nothing on earth but walk all day long up the valley of Jehosaphat and down the road to Bethlehem. They coms, many of them, from Russia, They have nothing: when they strike the town, and just manage to hold their own. i Now the whistle sounds, deep and long, the train has reached the top o})tbe canon â€"the end of the gulchâ€"and here before us, nestled in the very top of a group of little hills, is Jerusalem. ’IPha sun is just going down in the hills through which we came, and away to the east, beyond the Dead Sea, the hills of Moab are taking on the wonderâ€" ful tints they wear at sunset.> They are unlike any other mountains, in that the crest line is as straight as the line of the horizon on & plain. _ PE 7 ¢ I think there must be something in the Brotherhood of Station Masters prohibiting the sweeping of floors in stations, as they are all covered with sand, dirt, and scraps of puper and things. M The distance by rail is cightyâ€"seven kilemetres (about fiftyâ€"four miles), accordâ€" ing to the time card,.and thesame makes the running time four hours and ten minâ€" utes, but we have lost an hour toâ€"day, The fare, first class, is $%2; second class, $2, and third class, $1.25. ‘The road has never earned operating expenses,I am told, and never will, 1 am led to believe. The locomotives are the best mountaiu locomoâ€" tives made, and that is about the only thing they have to speak of. The distance from Jaffa to Jerusalem, wccording to Howard‘s "Guide to Palestine," is thirtyâ€"two miles as theravine makes it, aud thirtyâ€"six by wagon road. No guideâ€" book has been perpetrated since the opening of the railway, but none is necessary, as the time is about the same. In fact "White Sheik." Howard‘s Arabian steed, beats the train as often as he is ridden down from Jerusalem. Leaving the plain we enter a canon about 600 feet above the sea, up which we toil at a snail‘s pace. The country grows more desolate, the hills are barren wastes of gray rock, with not enough vegetation to pasâ€" ture a taraotula, When we had arrived at Beir Aban, thirtyâ€"one miles out, time two nours and fifteen minutes, and the staâ€" tionâ€"master from Jafia had embraced and kissed the stationâ€"master at RBeir Aban, first on the right cheek and then on left, the cloud of smoke that arose from two hot boxes hid the locomotive entirely. For a half hour the train crew carried water from the tank and flooded the hot boxes. The same was repeated at Bitter, even to the kissing and embracing, and we were off on the homestretch for Jerasalem, which is 2,000 feet above the Mediterrancan. The canon grows narrower as we ascend, and still there is no earth in sightâ€"nothing but rock, rock, everywhere. Sometimes we can see on the sides of the terraced hills a few rows of olive trees, which, like the scrub cedars in the mountains of America, seem to spring from the very stcmes. The conductor is in keeping, however, with other things pertaining to the road. I have never seen such inexcusable filthiness in any country. Even the Arabs notice it, by. 1t has always been a plece of imporâ€" tance, for here the old caravan road from Damascus to Egypt crosses the trail trod by the crusaders from Jaffa to Jerusalem. At Lydda I fancied I smelt a hot box; then I laughed at the ideaâ€"a hot box at eighteen milss an hourâ€"it was only the odor of the Orient, I reasoned and for*ot. But now, as the train stopped at Ramieh, two clouds of beautiful blue smake came up from a coal car near the locomotive, and foated away across the rolling plain. The doctor of the battle ship and Ein friend, the Lieutenant, were contemplating one of these boxes when I came up and offered to bet a B. and S. that my livre would blaze tirat, _ The conductor, the starchy, careless, polite conductor, came through the cat for the last time, and every one was glad we were nearing the Holy City. The trainâ€" men aro all %’;ench. wnd, like most French people one is compelled to rub against in the churches, theatres, and shops of the republic, especially in Paris, they appear never to use water, except the little they put in their claret. There are more founâ€" tains than bath tubs in Paris, French people in the lower walks of life remind one of the Mohammedan making & pilgrimâ€" age to Mecem, who obstinately refuses to bathe until he gets thereâ€"ouly these peoâ€" ple seem never to get there! There‘s the sea at Jaffa, but these fellows never think of using it any more than the natives do. ‘Taken !" said the game doctor, and while we were amusing ourselves thus, my French friend came forward, saw the hot box, and made a bee line for the station. The next moment he was out again with the conductor, _ You could see that the box was not the only thing hot on the J. and J. The distinguished traveller was beating his hands together, pushing his nose sideway with his front finger, and telling the conâ€" ductor things that would burn the paper if we painted them. When he stopped to breathe, the station master of Ramleh,who had already been hugged and kissed by the station master of Jafta, pulled the bell, and the train started, My travelling companion then turned on the poor station master tor having started the train while he was busy roasting the conductor, He raised both hands above his head and rolled off a auccotash of Frenich and Arabic for a whole minute, and when he turned, the rear end of the train was just disappearing over a hill beyoud the switch, and the general managerâ€"le Directeur de Is Compagnie~â€" was left behind . I believe he must have been glad of it, for he knew enough English to know that English officers were making jokes at his railroad, and that I was not overpleased with the flat wheels.
