NJ. J. R. Dunstan, director of sgri-
cultural education of Nottingham,
England, after a recent visit to Den
mark and an investigation of the dairy
industry of that country, wrote; 'In
my opinion, the supremacy of Dem
mark in this industry is due in a great
measure to the education of every one
concerned, from the farmer to his
dairymaid, and also to the system of
cooperation adopted. :" In other
words, education and intelligent
methods all along the line, as the Farm
and Dairy has frequently put IT, is the
basis upon which Denmark has been
able to take foremost rank among
European countries in dairy matters,
for Mr.. Dunstan says that Denmark is
not better adapted to dairying than
the county of Norfolk, England, and
she very largely supplies that county
with butter. This Is just the situation
in America today. The dairy industry
can only make substantial progress as
the impetus and general Intelligence
reach all who have a part in the work.
The creamery that hasn't the cooper
alton of educated patrons striving to
attain good results is effectively hand ..
icapped, and this difficulty furnishes
one of the greatest obstacles that but
termakers and creamery managers
have to contend with. Not long since
we heard buttermaker say that be
was going to quit the business on ac-
count of this one discouraging feature
of the work. The first great work that
Elgin had to do was to make dairy
men out of practically the entire farm
ing community. With this accom-
plished, her reputation was easily
made and maintained We must emu
late Elgin and Denmark methods in
this respect in every district where
dairying is practised. That condition
is coming and coming quickly.-Farm
and Dairy.

Care Atone Makes Doctors Impervious to
Disease.

DibeaSes
people wonder how doctors can
prevent themselves from carrying dis
ease" remarked physician the other
day. at Is simply care, and nothing
else, that makes physician seem i'm
peryious to disease. And the method
is so simple that many people would
never NOTICE that a doctor was taking
any predictions whatever. Now, for
instance, / go to the door of a room
which contains patient having some
contagious disease. l give a knock;
perhaps voice from within will say
Come In, but | make no move.
wait there until someone opens the
door for me BY touching the door
knob / might come in contact with
disease germs. go into the room;
so over to the patient; perhaps feel
the pulse or look at the tongue, al
ways careful that none of my clothes
come In contact with the bed cloth
ing or anything else in the room.
After this ! prescribe my medicine
and leave. never sit down in a
room wf'cr5 there is contagious DIS
ease. After leaving the room l wash
my hands In water containing BIZ
chloride, and | am as perfectlyfr
from disease germs as when entered
the room. People do not seem to
know that you must come in contact
with the germs before you can carry
them. Now all these precautions,
with the exception of washing the
hands, would neyer be noticed in a
sick room, yet am most careful to
carry ca h one out. frequently do
not have to wash my hands, as it is
not necessary to touch the patient.
In such cases | always have the door
opened for me when | come in and
go out. A careful doctor does not
carry disease; but some are apt to
overlook the importance of these
little sanitary rules and their patients
suffer.

"The desert wa ties of New Mexico

of pasturage covered with herds of
fattening cattle if the hopes of the
men who are deeply interested in
certain experiments are realized, y
said J. F. Wilcox, large ran h owner
in the Panhandle ountry of Texas.
The expectations OF these men are
based upon the wonderful vitality OF
alfalfa or Mexican clover. the growth
of which is astonishingly lapid and
field of which will yield several crops
in season. Its roots are said to go
far down in search OF moisture, some
times to depth of eighteen TO
twenty feet, and its nutritious prop
critics and the avid ty with which
stock eat it are wei known The
large land and livestock investme t
companies which are now operating
IN New Mexico and Arizona have, as
an essential part OF their schemes OF
utilizing the desert lands, the grow
ing OF large tracts OF alfalfa wit
which to feed their range cattle and
other stock. At one ranch alone,
the La Cucoa, in Mora County, New
Mexico, 1000 head of range cattle
are now being fed and fattened for
market on alfalfa The Mexican
clover is grown by the aid Af modern
irrigation, and the lands laid down
to it tend TO improve in fertility
Sto kmen down in that country have
lost all faith in the proves OF mod

The dificulty.in feeding wheat to
horses is the quantity of gluten 1t con-
tains, which, when masticated and
swallowed, is apt to pack the food in
the stomach, and thus caused lndiges-
ton, which is one of the worst of oil
the ailments horses are subject to.
Oats, having thirty per cent Of thick
husk on the grain, do not act in this
way, and are, therefore, a safe food.
The simple way out of the difficulty
is, therefore, to initiate the compost
ton of oats by adding to the coarsely
ground wheat a quantity of cut straw
or hay, or even mixing wheat and oats,
or by feeding the wheat in the ear,
providing it is not bearded. If hay
or straw cut finely or chopped, as it is
termed, is used, it should be wet, and
a handful of salt added to each feed to
prevent fermentation. New York

John C. Fay, prominent lawyer of
this city, formerly a member of the
First New Jersey cavalry, narrated
the following interesting story con-
corning Sheridan, the greatest cavalry
general the world has ever known. 1t
was just one week before Little Phil
won immortal fame by his victory at
Cedar Creek after his gallop from
Winchester, twenty miles away" Sher-
idan was in Washington upon impor-
tant military business and took supper
with party of officers at prominent
restaurant in the national capital. The
dinner was progressing in a satisfacto-
~ manner and everybody was happy,
when suddenly Sheridan, the guest of
honor, arose from his chair, looked
towards the center of the table, raised
his right hand to his temple, gave
military salute, and resumed his seat.
Everybody present called in chorus
for an explanation of the remarkable
performance, when Sheridan responded
with laugh: Il always salute in the
presence of my superiors. am ma

A New Workers. Baseball Story.

A very fine social seance was broken
up, just as the good stories were being
told, by Serene Payne, of New York.
That eminent and popular statesman
appeared upon the scene, and said: 81
want all of you overworked old boys TO
go with me to the baseball grounds
this afternoon, and see the Washington
club get a drubbing from the New
York giants. Our club has suffered by
the loss of old Roger Connor, the big
first baseman; but it is good enough
club yet to chaw up the Washington
leather chasers. Why, one day last
May" continued Mr.. Payne, 81 saw the
New York nine go to bat and they
batted all around the entire team.
twice. Conner made four home runs in
that game, Ward made seventeen base
hits, the bases stolen aggregated nine
ty-three, and"-here the entire meet
ing broke up in chatting row. Payne
was claiming more than any member
of the Ananias society could admit, and
the crowd adjourned to the ball ground
where the New York club received a
terrible drubbing at the hands of erst-
while tail-enders of the baseball league.

the road when the blows and curses of
the driver attracted his attention and
he demanded the reason why the ami
mails were being punished SO severely.
The driver gave no reply but lifted
his voice in utterance of oaths and
curses, while he struck one mule
terrific blow with the heavy butt end
of his whip. Capt. Sheridan shouted
again to the driver and received in re-
ply profane threat that if he did not
mind his own business he would get
the same kind of treatment the mule
was getting. Without stopping to
state his rank and demand obedience,
Capt. Sheridan slid from his saddle
and grabbed the rufian by the throat
Although a much shorter man than
the wagner, Sheridan was more
athletic and scientific. In moment
he had the human brute upon his
back in the mud, and then, twisting
the whip from his hand, piled it hber-
ally to the legs and arms of the mule
driver until he howled for mercy.
Sheridan allowed the frightened bully
to arise, and, handing him his whip,
said: Il am Capt. Sheridan, quarter
master of this army, and if you don't
get this wagon out pretty quick l will
thrash you again"
The wagner thereupon took hold OF
the wheel and called two other men to
his assistance, and IN less than minute
the WAGON was on its way In the
meantime, Sheridan, having mounted
his horse, disappeared in the woods
