MILK DRINKING.
From Lecture by DIR. j. II. Kellogg. of
the Battle Creek Sanitarium.

From a Lecture by DR.. j. H. Kellogg. of
the Battle Creek Santarium.
Children often get indigestion from
drinking milk. They are allowed to
swallow a glass of milk whole which
is almost as bad as swallowing a whole
potato. Taken into the stomach in that
way the milk is coagulated into a solid
mass about the size of the glass of
milk, whereas if it is slipped slowly, it
is coagulated into small curds which
are easily acted upon by the gastric
juice. There is just as much difference
in ease of digestion between the stomach
acting upon a single large curd or upon a
great many small ones as there would be
difference between melting by the infiu-
ence of the surrounding atmosphere of
large piece of ice and lump that was
broken into fragments. In order to in
sure the chewing of milk, buttermilk,
Cruel, etc. they should never be taken
as drinks, but with a bit of hard crack
err or toast 1t is well known among
stock men that calves do not thrive as
well when fed out of trough as when
fed in the natural way. They are often
kept thin from chronic diarrhea or
other digestive disturbances.
In some cases Luttermil1 is more
wholesome than sweet milk for the rca-
son that buttermilk will not form large
curds. The Tactic acid has coagulated
the milk by the process of churning and
dissolved the casiene so that when it
enters the stomach it forms small, soft
curds Buttermilk should be perfectly
sweet and fresh if eaten. Old butter
milk is exceedingly unwholesome.
Sour milk used in this country is not
so wholesome as the sour milk in Ger
many, for the reason that the German
housewife always boils the milk as soon
as it comes from the COW, and boiling
destroys whatever germs may be pres
ent. At the famous health resort in
Carlsbad one of the secrets of their
treatment is the simplicity of the diet
which patients are given, consisting
largely of sour milk and black bread

THE STATE CONSTITUTIONS.
Some Curious Facts Connected with Their
History.

Some Curious Facts Connected with Their
History.
Laws enacted by the people are at
the bottom of all legislation in this
country. These laws are either consti-
tutional. or bylaws which are adopted
at annual town meetings. In states IN
which the town meeting is unknown or
is merely a survival the people can eX-
press their will only in the constitution,
and in such states, consequently. the
constitutions are longer and more mi
mute and particular than in states
where the popular will is more freely
and frequently expressed.
The constitution of the six New En-
gland states are comparatively short.
They contain very little beyond the or
ganic law. The limitations upon the
power of the legislature are few. be-
cause those matters that most nearly
concern the people and affect taxation
are attended to in the town meeting.
This supremacy of the town is pre-
served because the towns control the
more numerous branch of the leglsia-
ture.
The constitutions of the states that
are based upon the county are very
subjects that in New England are left
to the legislature. The people, having
been taught by experience, forbid their
representatives doing certain things
They have discovered that it is good
deal better that they should go undone
than that the Legislature should have
license to do them whenever it sees lit
1t is a significant fact that not a single
Il tod ,sNt-.l
than one complete constitution since the
formation of the federal government.
Indeed, the present constitution of Mas
sachusetts antedates the constitution OF
the United States having been adopted
in 1880. Since then it has been amend
ed in several respects, the new sections
being necessitated by increase OF pop
ulation, the great European lmmlgra-
ton of the middle of the century, and
the war for the Union
Connecticut's constitution was adopt
ed in 1918. Before that the state was
governed under the charter of 1922,
which was continued by the constltu-
ton of I716. The amendments have
been more numerous than those ADDED
to the Massachusetts constitution, but
they have not differed much in charac-
ter.
The constitution of New Hampshire
was adopted N 1892, and has been
amended twice. Vermonts conshtu'
ton bears date 1898, and has been
amended four times. Rhode Island
lived under it's royal charter until 1872
The constitution of Maine was adopt
ed in 1920. 1t prohibits the loaning OF
the state credit. and limits the debt
contracting power of the legislature. Ii
also forbids the legislature to charter
corporations by special acts
The constitutional history of New
York is very different from that of New
England. The first instrument was
adopted in lift. the second in 1921. Sew

earth have been ransacked for sheep

has covered the world with a fleece.
Wool. as speciality, is down and must
stay down. The fleece must form an
offensive and defensive alliance with
the carcass. The railroads are stretch

remotest territories, SO that it is no
longer impossible to ship the ''muttons"

this case the movable partition in the
front of the pen may be removed when
the swine have been slaughtered. The
floor is then thoroughly cleaned and
Uttered, when it will provide an excel

SELECTING SWINE.
Points to BE Considered by Farm ers Liv-

Points to BE Considered by Farm ers Liv
ing in Cold Climate.
There is no better time to cast about
for such pigs as experience tells us are
required for winter weather in a cold
climate In other lines of business
men are on the alert to discover what
things in use have faults, and require
to be eliminated from ones business.
The question of fitness stands first.
Tradition cuts nc figure, and simply
that a thing has acquired a foothold
upon the premises has no weight with
any sensible man, provided the article
is not the best thing in use for the pur-
pose for which it is kept pig with
out any hair will go through winter
may do so with some protection and
good feeding without manifest suffer
ing But this does not prove that
good coat of hair is not required; that
the beast may not need extra rations
and warm shelter during severe
weather. The swine owner knows
that if he feels uncomfortable at night
under a single blanket, he draws
second one over him. A like rule
for securing comfort would in
duce the pig to draw second bl>nket
over him, if he could do this and had
the blanket within reach. But in this
direction he is utterly helpless. The
only dependence the pig has for COM
fort, whose destiny is to go through the
next winter, supposing that he is to
trough it" is, first, upon whether fig
uratively, he has two blankets or only
one over him; and second as to wheth-
er his rations will be suitable and
abundant for such exposure. Certain
pigs of the spring litter already show
how well or how lily they are adapted
to meet cold weather without showing
great discomfort. Very few essentials
cover all the points. Large vital or
gans, namely, lungs and digestive or
gans. with the liberal outer coating re-
ferred to, are essentials.-Prairie Farm

Lambs will not thrive when they are
infested with ticks. To get rid of
these, the lambs may be dipped in
kerosene emulsion made as follows:
Half pound of common soap is cut up
into shavings and dissolved in one gal

kerosene oil is then added and thor
oughly mixed to a creamy emulsion.
This is poured on to the lambs back
and guided and worked down through
the wool until it is saturated and every
part of the body is reached by the
liquid. If there are many lambs, a
sufficient quantity of the emulsion is
made and put in small tank, into
which the lamb is dipped and well
rubbed to distribute the liquid all ove-
it except the head. This is cheap
and safe preparation, costing about
two cents for each lamb. For small
flock, dozen or so, it is good plan to
