Attention is called by the English

far escaped public notice. Creameries
receive their milk from number OF
farms. After the cream has been re-
moved, some of the skim milk is sent
back to the farms for consumption.
The milk being all mixed together, a
means is thus afforded for conveying
typhoid fever or other disease existing
on one of the farms to all the others,
and for creating fresh disease centres.
An instance where this really occurred
is cited by the author. This affords a
fresh argument for always boiling
milk before using.

With its rings of yellow hair.

Winsome Baby Bum,
Weep, mother, weep!

with his head against your breast,
Never in the coming years,
Though he seeks for it with tears,
will he find 50 sweet rest.
Nh the brow of Baby Bum!
Nh the scarlet mouth Of Bum!

Drink its cup of gall must one!
Though the trembling lips shall shrink,
White with anguish as they drink,
And the temples sweat with pain
Drops Of blood like purple rain.
Weep, mother, weep.

Feet like these may lose the way,
Wandering blindly from the right,
Pray, and sometime will your prayers
Be to him like golden stairs
Built through darkness into light.
Oh the dimpled feet of Bum,
In their silent stockings dressed!
Oh the dainty hands of Bum,
Hid like Rose leafs in your breast
These will clasp OF jewels rare,
But to find them empty air;
Those shall falter many day,
Bruised and bleeding by the way,
Ere they reach the land of rest,

A prominent business man suggests
that, in view of high taxes and the ex
listing differences of opinion concerning
location, that it would probably be a
good plan to buy the Smith residence
lot, which can be had for $4,000, and
remodel the house now there, at a cost
OF one or two thousand dollars. He
says there can be four elegant school
rooms constructed in it, with ample &C.
commodations for all demands for years
to come. He would devote the structure
to the grammar and high schools. He
believes the site would be the best in
the city for magnificent school build
ing, when in the future we feel able to
build. There is frontage of 100 feet
by depth of 200, and he thinks, if it
should be deemed desirable, the city can /,
at any time, easily realize the cost of the
ground. The location is beautiful and
convenient. 1t is central to all. We
are not advocating the plan he suggests,
but it may be worthy of consideration

the editor of the Try County will not
