A MILK CARRIER.

water tanks are necessary to cool it
and keep il sweet All creamery
patrons should use these cooling tanks
They will also keep the milk from
freezing in winter. Ordinarily the tank
can be filled by a windmill or tread
power, running the water for stock
right through the milk tank. In this
way there is no waste either of water
or of labor. There are other cases in
which q carrier would be great con-
venience. Such an apparatus could be
used for carrying swill for hogs as the
carrier can be placed high enough to
pass over fences, if necessary. Other
cases will suggest themselves. Orange

THREE QUEER FRIENDS.
How Cat and an Old Pug Deceived {
Young Poodle.

Young Poodle.
These are pictures of the pets of a
certain little girl They are Punch,
the pug dog. BiliilSins. 1.-The prize-bred
Russian corded black poodle with a
pedigree" and Judy, the cat. Billikins
dwells on terms of friendship with the
Others, as you can see by the fact that
ne has had his picture taken with each
of them. But sometimes there are
slight misunderstanding.
For instance, one day Billikins was
iyin on the door-mat gnawing on the
backbone of a duck when Punch ap-
peared. Punch wanted a bone, too,
but Billikins didn't care to share his,
so Punch wandered off. BY and by
there was a dreadful commotion on
the other side of the house, a wild
barking and scrambling. Billilxins
jumped up and rushed off He was
afraid something had happened to his
mistress and he wanted to help Punch
defend her.
When he reached the other side of
the house, there was no one there. No
one was hurting his mistress, the
house was safe and Punch had disap-
peared. After little investigation,
Billikins went back to his mat and his
bone, and there lay Punch gnawing
contentedly at it! The false alarm had
been trick of the willy old pug to get
that bone.
One Christmas the little mistress re-
ceived curious present which the cat
and the dogs could not understand.
Every now and then, out of a box, a
bird would step and say Peep, peep"
Then door would close, another one
would open and another bird would
appear and say Cuckoo" Billikins
hated the noises and so did Judy, and
the cat planned to kill the birds. Bill
kins was glad enough, but he didn't
intend to take an active part in the
matter. He was just going to watch.
Well in the middle of the night Judy
came and woke Billikins up When

Some Points worth Considering.

In the dairy good animal is the one
that will proftably convert feed into
milk, butter or cheese. In this, guam
tity is not the only consideration,
neither is quality Both are important,
but the cost is rather more important
than all else. There must be liberal
quantity and the quality must be good.
At the same time both must be secured
at a cost that viii leave a fair per cent.
Of profit if rightly managed. And
there is more certainty of doing this
with certain breeds han with others -

Our illustration shows an apparatus
for conveying milk from the barn to
the milkhouse. It resembles the we'll
known hay carriers in principle, and
all know what labor savers they are.
This is ''a sketch from life" made by
the dairy editor on a recent visit to the
producing district of Illinois The
carrier runs on a half-inch wire cable.
This cable is 270 feet long and is at
tached to the barn at one end and to
posts at the other as shown. Before
constructing this apparatus it was hard
work to get the milk from the barn to
the milkhouse; now the men can milk
