PEAOTIOE WITH SCIENCE. 
A correspondent sends the subjoined 
suggestions and arguments in regard to the 
importance of obtaining a knowledge of 
cheese dairying by personal experience or 
practice over the vats with a capable in¬ 
structor at hand to direct operations, &c. 
For beginners this may be very desirable 
and perhaps essential. But persons familiar 
with cheese making should bo aide to see 
Wherein a certain process described or writ¬ 
ten out is an improvement over their own 
practice, or at least what parts are worthy 
of trial. There is a constant improvement 
going on in dairy practice. We need nil the 
suggestions we can get, and from whatever 
source. It is from Lhe publication of this 
kind of knowledge that American dairymen 
have been able to arrive at lhe high standard 
of excellence in their product that now ob¬ 
tains. It is not always practicable for cheese 
makers to be running over the country limit¬ 
ing up new processes or points claimed as 
improvements in dairy practice. It is true 
a process described may be faulty in its de¬ 
tails, or be lacking in clearness, but wher¬ 
ever this is the case, the desired information 
generally may be elicited by correspondence. 
There are many things published, doubt¬ 
less, which arc claimed to be improvements 
that are not improvements. Many people, 
too, exercise but little judgment in adapting 
their operations to a written process. 
We suppose that Dr. Wight, in describ¬ 
ing bis process, assumed that certain prin¬ 
ciples in cheese making bad become estab¬ 
lished, and on this account considered it un¬ 
necessary to go into minute details in regard 
to the points raised by our correspondent. 
B it as attention lias been called to these 
points, we shall be glad to hear farther from 
Dr. Wigiit on the subject. 
We do not agree with our correspondent 
in his statement at the close of his letter, 
that in order to make cheese like that of Dr 
Wight, persons “ must not read or hear, hut 
see how he does it.” We say read and hear 
all you can, and do the best in your power 
with all the knowledge in your possession. 
Take every opportunity to see lhe best prac¬ 
tice, but do not get the notion that it is ab¬ 
solutely necessary to see somebody work out 
a suggest ion or process before you are capa¬ 
ble of trying it. Cheese makers must have 
confidence in their ow n judgment and skill—- 
in their own ability to improve, or very lit¬ 
tle progress will bo made in the art. Willi 
these remarks we pass nt once to our cor¬ 
respondent’s letter. He says: 
“The practice of writing inscriptions of va¬ 
rious mi'il peculiar proCuesvB of cheese or but -

FASTENING THE TAIL. 
Removing nn Annoyance to Milkers. 
Mr. Willard:—I wish to know if there 
is any device in use for holding a cow’s tail 
while milking; and if so, wlmt is if, and is il 
a convenient and effectual thing? I have 
invented a device which I think some of gel¬ 
ling paten led ; and before doing so, should 
like to know what is used, if anything, in 
local ions where large numbers of cows are 
kept?—L., Farmington, Me. 
One of the annoyances in milking, espe¬ 
cially in hot weather, when flics arc trouble¬ 
some, is the frequent switching of the cow’s 
tail over the head and shoulders of the milk¬ 
er. Sometimes persons receive sharp blows 
in the face, and not unfrequently are more 
or less injured in the eyes from a stroke of 
the “ unruly member." But that is not the 
only trouble growing out of il—the milker, ; 
who may not have any pecuniary interest in 
the animal under his charge, maddened by 
the blow and smarting with pain, often pro¬ 
ceeds to inflict aummaiy punishment for the 
offense, and deals out to the poor beast, bru¬ 
tal kicks or heavy blows with the milking 
stool. A great many valuable cows are 
ruined every year on account of some un¬ 
lucky stroke which the milkman receives in 
lids way, from lime to lime. 
Persons who are not familiar with the 
manner in which stock is often treated in the 
dairy districts, can scarcely credit these acts 
of brutality on animals which intend no of¬ 
fense in their efforts to drive away flies. But 
that they do exist, is a fact which the owners 
of stock are made painfully aware of. Any 
simple device, then, that lessens annoyance 
to the milker, and results in mitigating the 
abuses practiced on animals, is to be ap¬ 
proved. 
It is the practice with some dairymen to 
remove tin: greater part of the cow’s tail by 
docking. The tail is cut off within about a 
foot, or so of the body by placing a block 
under the tail and holding upon it a sharp 
ax which receives a blow from a mallet. Tbe 
stub is then tied with a cord for a short time 
to prevent loss of blood. Wc do not approve 
of this practice, since it deprives the animal 
of one of the heat means of defense against 
the attack of insects, which often cause much 
annoyance and pain. Besides, it gives the 
cows an uncomely appearance and must, in 
one way or the other, affect the health and 
comfort of tbe animal. Some dairymen have 
a strong wire strung along the ceiling ot the 
stable just hack of the cows, upon which 
moveable hooks of wire are placed. Then a 
small ling is fastened to the brush of the 
cow’s tail which is 4o remain there perma¬ 
nently. When the cows are placed in the 
stanchion to he milked, the tail is removed 
out of the way by hooking the ring on the 
brush to one of the sliding books of the wire 
above. This is a very simple, inexpensive 
and effectual way of obviating the trouble; 
besides, when once arranged it is always 
convicntly at hand. Another plan is to pro¬ 
vide each milker with an India rubber band 
with clasp. The tail is fastened to the cow’s 
leg with this, and when the milkingia Swish¬ 
ed the clasp is loosened,and it is ready tube 
used on another cow. There are other de¬ 
vices for effecting the purpose in question, 
but these seem to be the most simple, and 
they Lave the merit oi not being patenied.

ARTIFICIAL HATCHING. 
Tite process of hatching chickens by arti¬ 
ficial methods is beginning to attract the at* 
attention of the breeders and the large deal¬ 
ers of poultry in this country. It is notice¬ 
able that the farmers are just learning that 
it costs no more to keep a first-class of pure 
bred fowls than mongrels; and that they are 
a more profitable investments Even our 
suburban residents are beginning to keep 
their one or two varieties of pure breeds, 
taught by experience that it is cheaper and 
If tbe Egyptians and tbe Chinese sue- j 
ceeded so admirably in the artificial method j 
of hatching chickens, are wc, with all our 
boasted intelligence and improvements in 
the arts and sciences in this nineteenth cen¬ 
tury, unable to bring this process to a suc¬ 
cessful issue ?

REMEDY FOR SORE NIPPLES. 
Mrs. C. Colt writes:— 11 In answer to the 
M. Reaumur, the French naturalist and inquiry of J.J Nichols, some of my friends 
philosopher, thought the system perfectly have used the following with good success: 
practicable. M. Bonnemain of Paris sue- One teaspoonful of beeswax, one of gum 
ceeded in the incubation of chickens on the camphor, one of lard, one of fresh butter, one 
hot water principle CarbonnEER, Mr. of spearmint—the extract of the latter is best, 
Brindley and F. ScHroeder all succeeded 
in their various plans and machines in the 
successful hatching of chickens. Some few 
years ago a hatching machine was exhibited 
in full operation in New York city, bringing 
out little chickens with all the punctuality 
of an old lien, and the chickens came forth 
from the machine strong, active and healthy. 
The several apparatus formerly employed 
hut the herb will answer, only more should 
be used. Simmer the whole together, spread 
upon some thick cloth or thin, soft leather, 
and apply.” 
A Rural Reader, Lockport, N. Y., 
writes:—" 1 will send my recipe, which I 
consider excellent: A large handful of sweet 
apple tree bark, a handful of sage leaves, one 
handful of rose leaves, (cither fresh or dried;) 
for the purpose of incubation, have been de- boil all together, strain, then add a piece of

tolokian and Hydro Incubator. Tbe former

[from the advance sheets of “the people’s practical poultry book.”] 
more pleasant to raise the eggs and fowls 
needed for family use Ilian to be dependent 
on an uncertain market for an inferior 
article. 
There can he no reason to doubt but that 
the appliances of art can be brought, to bear 
with the same decided success in hatching 
and rearing of chickens as such appliances 
have been used in other ways in assisting 
nature in her efforts. The artificial hatching 
of chickens is no new thing—not one of the 
lost, but neglected arts. And is it not likely, 
if taken hold of with earnestness by some 
ingenious and enterprising person, that it 
can be reduced to a science ? I have no 
don! t of il 1^ junavi) mind, after u close ob¬ 
servation andsUidy of tlie many methods 
that have been adopted and the success 
that has attended laic improvements in this 
way. The prejudice of former times had 
very much to do with the slow progress in 
soils — the use of new agricultural imple¬ 
ments—the improvement of stock. 
That rust of prejudice is not yet entirely 
worn away: and if no other class of persons 
Lban those wedded to old notions had been 
born into lhe world we should never have 
bad steam power, telegraphs, machinery, &c,, 
to economise and multiply labor—to annihi¬ 
late space and time. And what a wild and 
impracticable scheme, thought this very class 
of people only a few years ago, was the idea 
of conversing across from confluent lo con¬ 
fluent by means of tbe cable telegraph ; or 
that we should be able lo send a message 
around the world in about as quick a time 
as it would take them to think of the won- 
chickens by M. Bucknell, an Englishman. 
The Eccaleobion possessed a perfect and ab¬ 
solute command over temperature from 300° 
Fahrenheit to that of cold water, so that it 
would act uniformly over any substance at, 
any degree with the above range. During 
the public exhibition of this instrument it was 
staled that 30,000 to 40,000 chickens were 
borax the size of a hickory nut; then simmer 
down with fresh butter nr sweet cream. Use 
as nn ointment.” 
Eliza Platt writes :—“ Take tbe yolks 
of two eggs, put them in a spider, set them 
before the fire and let them roast until they 
are brown; then anoint the nipples with the 
resulting grease. It is a Bure cure. For a 
caked breast spread and apply a plaster of 
beeswax.” 
M. A. C., Leyden, writes:—“I will tell 
you wlmt helped me. It was sage simmered 
in lard and applied often, and as warm as 
can be borne, 1 have also heard fresh cow 
mnnure recommended 
Mrs. T. Skinner says “sore nipples or 
fever cake in the breast can be relieved by 
applying a weasel skin thereto.” 
A “Lady Reader,” Florence, O., writes: 
“ A plaster made after the following recipe 
I believe to be an infallible cure: — Take 
ripe raw tomatoes, pare and cut them up; 
then stir in flour enough to make a stiff 
dough. Roll and work it with the hands 
until it becomes very smooth. Spread a 
thin plaster and apply it to the affected part 
with a cloth over it, changing the dry plas¬ 
ters for fresh ones as often as necessary. 
Tiiis keeps up a constant perspiration, which 
is wlmt is needed. If you cannot get toma- 
hrought out by a single machine, which was toes, a dough made with cold watoi and 
constructed to contain 2,000 eggs, at a given flour will answer. I know this remedy lo

constructed to contain 2,000 eggs, at a given 
time. And under proper care and atten¬ 
tion, the chickens were said to grow quick, 
larger and even stronger than under a moth¬ 
er's care; and all the vicissitudes that they 
have to encounter under the care and pro¬ 
tection of the hen are here entirely obviated. 
But the great drawback to the use of these 
machines has been lhe need of such improve¬ 
ments as to get ritl of the constant watch¬ 
ing they required day and night, and to ob- 
tain a constant equalization of temperature. 
These difficulties have been entirely over¬ 
come by the improvements made by Jacob 
and Henry Graves in their machine in 
maintaining a regular temperature, particu¬ 
larly iu so variable a climate as the North¬ 
ern States. The differences of temperature 
between day and night have to lie carefully 
provided for; and this heretofore great obsta¬ 
cle lias been so completely mastered by them 
as to obtain uneven temperature at all times. 
Another advantage I notice which this ma¬ 
chine of the Graves possesses over all 
others is that it is automatic, or self-regulat¬ 
ing, so that it requires the attention of one 
person only about fifteen minutes in twenty- 
fotir hours. 
The Graves have done well, but do not let 
us stop here. Let us have the matter thor¬ 
oughly tested, and I believe the time is not 
far distant when our large poultry producers 
and every farmer will possess his incubator.

To Remove Motli from the Fnee. 
M. L. P. inquires, in a late number of the 
Rural New-Yorker, how to remove moth 
on the face. The principal cause of these 
moth spots are billiousncss, and the liver is 
torpid. The writer can testify that luird 
cider, drank freely, doing away with tea and 
coffee, is a sure cure. Let it be the only 
beverage used until the spots are removed.—

indicates, produced by chilling the feet 
when damp, rendering them so tender that 
the least friction irritates the parts chilled. 
Presume any strong astringent will do, hut 
alum is always at hand. Do not use it more 
than just enough to effect a cure, as it will 
make sole leather of your feet. We have 
used it for years and never but once at a

Biu'um and Scalds. 
Dr. Ferguson gives the following recipe, 
which he has tested in the severest eases of 
burning and scalding from railroad and 
steamboat accidents with invariable success: 
Glycerine, five ounces; white of egg, four 
ounces; tincture of arnica, three ounces. 
Mix the glycerine and white of egg thor¬ 
oughly in a mortar, and gradually add the 
arnica. Apply freely on rags, night and 
morning, washing previously with warm
