Simple melodies are sweetest,
Modest trains give deepest thrill,
And the bird Of plainest plumage,
Often has in song most skill.
And the rivers reckless roaring,
Madly rushing to the sea,
Has for me not half the romance
OF the brooks low, murmuring glee.
Thus it is with human nature
Some true worth is never seen,
lust because lis hidden ever
BY a gentle modest mien.
Boldest hearts are sometimes rudest.
kindlieT ones are those that fear,
Watching ever, lest unthinking
Some light act may cause tear,

TANNING OF MILK

George A. Smith says: "A COW
feeding on grass that grows in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of any putrid animal
matter will give milk having the worst
kind Ct faint have case that
came to my knowledge last summer and
which proves this quite concluslvely.
A factory in which chceses were we'll
made had considerable trouble with the
cheeses getting off flavor when they
were about twenty days old They
started a thorough investigation and
found that the trouble came from GER
tain diaries where the pastures bordered
on small creek. and upon examina-
ton of these pastures il was found that
the offal from a slaughter had
been washed by the high water down
along the banks of the creek and lodged
where the cows had been feeding. 1t
spoiled the milk. that is. the germs Of
pntrefaction from this decaying animal
matter lodged on the grass and were
taken into the animal system. am
we'll satisfied that if the requisite means
are used the milk will come to the fac
tory very nearly as good in July and
August as in September and October.
The only question is-will the dairy
men use the means?"
The greatest Of German natural
lists. Alex. V. Humboldt, declared
"Cruelty to animals is the character
istic vice of vulgar, base nation or
individual"
