A New Milking Machine.

Another milking machine has been
introduced, this time in Scotland. Brief
ly described this machine is an evolution
of the idea embodied in the bell and suc-
ton tube found in every druggists shop
for drawing the milk from a woman's
breast An iron section tube is fitted all
round the byre and above the cows, and
from this an india rubber tube descends
10 the vessel into which the milk is to be
drawn. A belt is hung over the cows
back, and from this belt the close vessel
into which the milk is to be drawn is
suspended. Four separate india rubber
tubes about a foot and half long termi-
nate in this vessel, and at the other end
they have tin necks which go on to the
separate teats of the COW. They do not
grasp the teats, but fix themselves by the
force of the suction to the udder at the
root of the teats. The suction force is
supplied by a force pump erected in a
corner of the byre, which can be easily
managed by boy. The lid of the closed
vessel is of glass, so that the milkmaid
can see at a glance that the four differ
ent streams of milk from the different
teats are coming all right, and this glass
cover is also held on by the suction, and
as soon as the suction force is switched
off the glass lid can be lifted off and the
tubes Withdrawn from the teats.

LAYING TILE DRAINS.

OF intermediate ones can be set by sight
ing, and accurately, too. Leave these
in until the tile are laid under any given
one, and You will find the work done
with all the accuracy needed, and in
much less time than if you had attempt
ed any method which depended ON lev
cling the bottom itself. Subsequently,
Professor Carpenter has recommended
the stretching of cord tight over the
top of the cross bars, and to measure
from the cord to the bottom of the drain
to determine the level required, for the
bottom of the ditch. 1t is also neces-
sary to have atight line near the surface
of the earth To guide the ditcher in set
ting the ditching spade. 1t is desirable
to have the sides of the ditch even and
straight from point to point at top and
bottom, and especially so in the bottom.

The Old Way.

Sairey Camp, whom Dickens
immortalized, used to admins
ter medicine by clutching the
patient by the throat and when
he opened his mouth to gasp
for breath she chucked the
medicine down his throat and
left him to swallow it or strangle
as it suited him. This is too
much the way most people ad-
minister medicine to children;
nothing is more pitiable than
to see little child in the agon-
les of Group fighting with both
its little hands to keep away
the ill-tasting draught that the
nurse is trying to pour down its
throat. Nothing of this sort is
needed with Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. The
children like to take it, and as
it contains no opium or anything
deleterious there is no harm to
be found even from an overdose.
Children can take it freely.
When the little ones come home
from school with wet feet, and
as night comes on they begin
TO grow hoarse and their cheeks
flush, and they show signs of
approaching fever, lose no time.
but give them a dose of R4id's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure before supper; repeat the
dose before going to bed and
you will be spared the pain of
seeing them in the throes of
this most dreaded disease Of
childhood, besides passing a
wakeful night at theiI bed side.
1t is one Of the virtues of this
most excellent remedy that it
not only cures every individual
case of Group, but it prevents a
recurrence of the malady.
Reid's German Cough and Kid
ney Cure should therefore be
kept on hand in every house
hold, for it is an absolute
specific fer Group and all dis
eases that come from colds.

EPOCH

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that SO
much is heard in praise of Electric BIT
tiers. So many feel they owe their res-
toration to Health. to the use of the great
Alternative and tonic. Ifyou are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver oil
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle

The Reekeeniny Indnsfr.r

The prominence OF the beekeeping in
dustry is not generally recognized, from
the fact that it is almost everywhere
carried on as an incident of general ag1i-
culture. Every state and territory re-
ports bees and more or less honey. usn-
ally hive or few colonies for each
farmer, with occasionally an extensive
apairy and large production. In some
iocahtles, as IN portions of New York,
Ohio, Tennessee and California, where
existing conditions are particularly IA
yorable, agriculture is more prominent.
The aggregate value of the annual
honey and wax product is large, much
larger than that of other crops of which
more notice is usually taken. In the
last annual report of the secretary of
agriculture we are told that it almost
equals the value of the rice or hop crop.
falls but little short of the buckwheat
product, exceeds the value of our cane
molasses and of both maple sirup and
sugar. 1t largely exceeds the aggregate
value of all our vegetable fibers except
ing cotton, and in 1879 was half as large
as the wine product of the year The
latest official record of production by
states is the return of the National cen
sus for 1879. 1t places the honey pro-
duction at %, 743, ,20S pounds, and wax at
f,105, ,6S9 pounds, making the aggregate
value over So, 900, 900. An excellent au-
thority places the number of colonies of
bees III the United States in 1881 at g.
Oo0,OO0, and the honey product for that
year at 10000, 900 pounds, the cash value
of the years honey crop exceeding s30,-
100000. Commenting on these figures
Professor Cook thinks we may safely
add as much more as the value of the
increase of colonies. and we have a grand
total of $6O,OO0,0O0, nearly enough to
pay the interest ON the national debt
We're the bonds all refunded.

OBSERVATIONS WORTHY OF NOTE
IN RURAL AFFAIRS.

Professor Carpenters Illustrative Method
For Laying Out bitches and LeveIing
the Bottom Preparatory to Making Tile
Drains When No Survey Has Been Made.
The illustration here presented gives
an accurate idea of Professor Carpenters
method for laying out tile drains, as
originally explained by him in The Drain
age Journal
When no survey has been made Pro-
fessor Carpenter uses the plow shown in
the cut to determine the fall and the
grade line. At No. in the illustration
he sets his first cross bar and stakes, so
as to give a depth of four feet. At the
furthest distance that can be seen he sets
another cross bar and stakes, so as to give
the required depth at that point-say
three feet.
To find the fall between these two one
has only to sight over level of any con-
struction, from the first cross bar to the
last, and measure the intersection of this
sight line to the cross bar, which will
serve to show if there be any fall or not.
After finding that there is sufficient fall
between the two cross bars any number

DIR. Pipes asked that authority be
given TO purchase teachers desk and
also cothes-rack for the Richie
school, as both had long been needed.
The request was granted.
DR.. Pipes then moved, in view of the
confusion and excitement attending the
holidays, that the public schools be clos
ed tonight and remain closed until the
first Monday in January. President
Miller was not disposed to favor this
move, and said that the practice Of dis
continuing school for trivial things, was
a growing evils, and he believed that 1t
should be the aim of the School Board
to keep up the schools as much rs pos
sible. After some little discussion on
the proposition President Miller declar-
ed the motion out Of order,
Miss Lizzie Swift as teacher in Dlvi-
sion C, Third ward, was confirmed.
On motion of Mr.. Bloch vote of
thanks was extended to President Mil
Ter for the efficient and impartial man
ner in which he had presided over the
Board during the past year. Thanks
were extended also to Secretary Hall.
