about. There are herds of milking Shorthorns and Red Polls 
that average over 6,000 lbs. of milk with the best cows yielding 
over 15,000 lbs., and this not on the forced feeding carried on so 
commonly in the United States, but fed on pastures in the summer 
— rich pastures of course, manured and fertilized regularly. 
MEASLY PORK. 
We have had letters — several from the same district — asking 
what is the reason that some pigs when killed have mottled flesh, 
so that it is rejected by purchasers. And a good thing too that 
the appearance of the pork prevents people from buying it, for the 
“mottles” are simply the “cysts” containing the eggs of the tape 
worm, the same as affects the dog and human beings, and unless 
the flesh was very well cooked the cysts, entering the human 
stomach, would hatch out tape worms, — worst of all internal 
parasites. 
Pineapple Lemonade. — Pineapple lemonade is a delicious and 
cooling beverage. The pineapple should be well ripened. Care- 
fully remove the skin afld eyes, and grate or cut in thin slices. 
Sprinkle half a pound of sugar over it, and squeeze over that the 
juice of four large lemons. Let it stand an hour. Mash through 
a fine sieve ; add ice and water and some small pieces of pineapple.
