The Science and Art OF Milking.
When the teats are first touched, either
by the mixer or the calf, the first effort Of
the cow is TO draw up the tendons tighter

being crowded, had oozed through the

is quiet and peaceable, she gives a full
relaxation Of the structures which hold

THE EXCELSIOR BABY FEEDER.
A Naughty Reporter Suggests a New
Invention.
From lie Tones emocrai


There is man in New Orleans who has
patented an apparatus which will in the
course of time drive the wet nurses out Of
the market and abolish milk bottles. 1t is
called the Excelsior Baby Feeder, and is
made of rubber. The inventor, who was
in the Times Democrat Office a few days
ago, exhibited the apparatus to the re-
porters, and on first sight it looked as If II
might be cross between set OF shoulder
braces and a life-preserVer.
''rhe FEEDER" said the proud inventor,
lis worn under the dress. like vest,
and these two rubber bulbs, which are TO
be filled with milk, fit under the arm, and
leading from each bulb is q rubber tube
with mOuthpiece at the end Of it. When
a mother wishes to nurse her infant she
places the end of the tube in its mouth
and by pressing slightly the bulb under
her arm produces a regular flow of milk.
The feeder works 80 mc3ly that it tools
the baby completely. The appliance also
| does away with the necessity of Juggling
IL greasy milk bottle whenever the baby is
taken out for an airing; and, aside from
the neatness and convenience of the thing,
| il keeps the baby healthy. Prior to per-
tecting my invention | devoted a great
| deal of time TO the study of babies, and

ways Of the same temperature as the
body, being kept warm by the animal
heat, consequently the infant seldom suf-
fers the pangs OF Indigestion. but. on the
| contrary, grows fat and strong. The EE-
