A bill has been introduced in TIT

culture shall constitute commission
to continue during the life of the pres

practicable, at all institutions having a

is also to confer with the interstate

1t is not the function of the national

Mr.. Crisp's objection, made four years
ago, that it is an infringement OF state
rights to inquire into the condition OF
roads in the states and to encourage
their betterment, is not worthy of seri'
Gus consideration. The educational en-.
te,prises of the federal government
have gone too far for the revival of the
old internal improvements controversy
of 70 years ago, and it is not proposed tc
repeat the experiment of those times
and build post roads through the states
with national revenue. The efforts OF
the department of agriculture to pro-
mote local prosperity and distribute
useful information are as revolutionary
as the modest proposal that the govern
ment encourage road building. If this
may not be done, the Smi thsonian insti'
tuition should be careful not to infringe

quiry of the department of agriculture
has done valuable work in circulating
information regarding improvements in
different states and hints on methods
of construction and repair available un'
der varying conditions. It is believed
by those who are doing the chief work
for improved highways that the pro.
posed commission would be a valuable
aid in the enterprise, and their opinion
is entitled to consideration.-N. Y.

KEEPING COWS CLEAN.
just Before Milking Is the Best Time for
Grooming.

just Before Milking Is the Best Time for
Grooming.
If one-half is true that the scientists
tell us about the extreme susceptibility
of milk to taints and disease germs, the
importance of keeping cows clean can
not be exaggerated.
Assuming that, for their own CON-
fort and for the sake of keeping the
milk claen, the cows are to be brushed
and groomed, where and when shall it
he done? If in the stables where they
are to be MIXED, then the atmosphere
of the stables must soon become loaded
with the dust and dirt, brushed or
carded from the cows, and the milk is
more likely to be contaminated than if
the filth had been allowed to stay on the
cows. The practice in good horse sta
bles is to take the horse out of the stall
for grooming.
The cow needs grooming more than
the horse, and in the opinion of the
Jersey Bulletin, it is of vastly more i'm
portance to those who are to drink her
milk. Certainly, then, the COW is ell
titled to as much pains, as the horse,
and should be groomed in q separate
place from, that in which she is MIXED.
For, this purpose, an open shed is per-
:haps best. AS a practical test of the
value of grooming cows, we suggest
that those who doubt it, make fair
trial by carefully weighing the milk of
two or three cows for three weeks or
30 days without grooming them, and
then, grooming them thoroughly for
the same time, note if there is any per-
ceptible difference that can be fairly at
tributed to the grooming. That the
cows will feel better, look better and
really be better OF, we have not
the least doubt:
AS to the time for grooming, it has
been found that just before milking is
the best.
