of milk set deep at one time and a like 
amount set shallow at another time, or one 
cow’s milk set deep and another shallow, 
does not offer a satisfactory test, since the 
quality of the milk, the temperature and 
various other considerations may influence 
the particular t rial. The only way we could 
discover to make a fair comparative test 
was to take a quantity of milk well mingled 
together and deprived of its animal beat by 
cooling and stirring, and then divide it, set¬ 
ting one half shallow and one half deep— 
thus giving each an equal chance under the 
same circumstances. Accordingly, on the 
15th of July, at evening, we tried the 
Firm Experiment, 
by cooling 146 pounds of milk in a broad- 
mouthed, twenty gallon can, down to 75° by 
placing it in a tub of water and stirring; 
then weighed out 78 pounds and set in pails 
7J£ inches deep, and a like amount in pans 
inches deep. The morning following, 
110 pounds were thus cooled and set hall 
each way—thus 128 pounds had been set, 
tbe same amount deep and shallow, consist¬ 
ing of a day’s milk from the same cows. 
This milk was set in a milk room which 
kept at a temperature of 68° to 70°. The 
night's milk was skimmed 88 hours after 
setting, and the morning’s milk 26 hours— 
all sour, some thunder during the time.

REVERSION. 
One of the most remarkable circumstances 
that. 8liows itself at times in the breeding of 
animals is the great dissinnilarity which some 
of the young hear to the parent stock. These 
freaks of the law of inheritance have given 
rise to considerable suspicion among those 
not familiar with the science of breeding,in 
respect to the good faith of those with whom 
they have had dealings in fowls and eirgs- 
and the great hue and cry which these "per¬ 
sons have, in their ignorance, raised against 
the whole fraternity, has done much to bring 
even respectable and honest dealers and 
breeders into bad repute, as well as to dis¬ 
courage many persons from raising pure 
breeds. I am satisfied that many tricks 
have been practiced by unscrupulous per¬ 
sons, and every one shfiuld consider it his 
duty lo expose the scoundrels; but the mat¬ 
ter should not be too hastily undertaken, as, 
in such case, innocent parties may be made 
the victims of ignorance by too much haste. 
This peculiarity in the law of inheritance 
obtains not only with the fauna hut the 
flora of the earth. It teaches the breeder 
the importance of selecting the most perfect 
animals from strains that have bred true to 
their kind through several generations. 
Great caution should he used in purchasing 
ot those breeders who have the best reputa¬ 
tion for their stock and skill in mating and 
breeding. I adopted the plan of keeping a 
bistory of the pedigree of my fowls, and 
found it a great advantage in malty ways. 
The celebrated trio of Buff Cochins I sokV 
to Mr. Bayley of California for $100 gold, 
were bred by me from my ordinary fowls; 
but I endeavored by care in mating and 
feeding to bring them as near to perfection 
as I could, and to as great size as possible. 
The trio weighed thirty-five pounds, and I 
have now a son of the sire which promises 
to he much larger than his father. 1 have 
tired from the above trio one hundred fowls, 
and not one has betrayed his pedigree nor 
shown that abominable defect — a vulture 
bock. J merely cite this ns an instance of 
what good feeding, care and stock will do. 
1 have been deceived very much in some of 
my imported fowls. I had a trio of Dark 
Brahmas that won the first premium at Bir¬ 
mingham, and paid for them a very large 
sum of money, hoping to procure some very 
fine chicks. Tbe trio were almost perfect 
in every point, but they bred me one vulture 
hock to two perfectly hocked birds, show¬ 
ing by the law of reversion that some one of 
their ancestors had been a lmcked bird. 
1 fired again from the perfect birds, and 
was more successful, and have finally bred 
out the hock, as it has not appeared at all 
this season. 1 showed, in my articles on 
breeding and mating, Unit some of Ihe finest 
fowls had produced very indifferent chicks, 
and that in some instances ordinary fowls, 
when properly mated, had produced very 
fine results. It is a pretty difficult matter to 
male up fowls so as to breed successfully tlie 
points we most desire ; and good success in 
this respect depends very much upon the 
closeness with which you study the various 
peculiarities and merits of the breed and 
what particular fowls will produce such 
points as you desire, 'fills can only be ac¬ 
quired by observation and experiment, and 
of course particular care from crossing. And 
yel 110 mutter how skillfully you may mate 
your birds, you may be in some instances 
doomed to disappointment by the law of 
Reversion or Atavism—that is, a resemblance 
to some one of its ancestors. This latter 
term is derived from atoms, ancestor, and 
by Reversion we understand going back to 
Bomeof the peculiarities of its ancestors.

TnERK is hardly a family that does not

erally a greater trouble to tbe neighbors 
than a flock of hens would be; lor it bens 
are well fed at home, they will rarely go

not ii pesl, running across the newly made

the liens, and you will flnd pleasure as
