pump about IS inches below its dis
charge spout, and should enter the
tank at the top. Every time the pump
is used there will gallon or more flow
into the tank, depending upon the bore
of the pump, the size of the pipe and
the length of time the pump is used.
The hotter the weather, the more
pumping is done, as rule, and the
cooler the water will be kept in the
tank.
The tank must have an outlet at the
opposite end from which the feed pipe
enters, and little larger than the feed
pipe. This outlet must be about two
inches lower than the top of the cans.
The water should always be little
higher than the milk.

CAPT. MOLLY,
Woman Who Did the Cause of Frce
dom Heroic Service.


An old book containing records of
revolutionary days in New Jersey gives
one or two facts of individual heroism
which, though authentic, are probably
unknown to most readers.
AT the battle of Monmouth, farm
er's wife followed her husband, who
was an artilleryman, to the field, and
carried water to him and his comrades,
when they were exhausted, from the
neighboring stream.
Her thin gown being burned by a
shell, she put on the coat of an Ameri-
can private soldier and the plumed hat
of British officer, taking them from
their dead bodies.
Her husband was shot dead at his
post, but Molly stepped quietly into
his place and served the gun SO expertly
during the action that she was COM
mended to Washington for her GOODNESS
and courage.
He appointed her to the rank of a
lieutenant, and retired her on half
pay. She was the heroine of her
county as long as she lived, always
wore an epaulet on her shoulder, and
was known as Capt. Molly to two gen.
erations.
Tunis Forman was boy of II in a
family whose men were all in the
army. Tunis was compelled to stay at
home, but one day a rumor reached
him that two British soldiers had be4
seen in the woods which were situa
near his home in Freehold - -. . . -''''-
He seized his gun, ran to the woods,
and found the men in thicket. He
covered them with his musket and
shouted to them to drop their guns or
he would shoot. The men, not know
ing how many Yankees were in the
bushes, obeyed. Tunis then ordered
them to march to the town, and fol-
lowing with his gun aimed at them,
actually brought them in single-handed
and delivered them, prisoners, to the
authorities.
displays of daring now from either
men or women. Yet are we less brave?
During the civil war countless Ameri-
cans rushed into the field, the men to
kill, the women to nurse, for the cause
which they deemed the best.
Now, men are silently risking their
lives every day in pursuit of science, in
medicine, in the life-saving service
and in thousand unnoticed duties,
and hosts of women are being trained
to nurse the sick with skill and intel
ligence, and to carry cleanliness and
decency into death-breeding slums,
almshouses and prisons.
Surely the ''arts of peace" are not all
dull and slavish, as the poets tell us;
and it requires as fine courage to save
life as to destroy it.-Youth's Com
panion.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Bill Recently Introduced in Congress Pro-
vides for One.

vides for One.
, A bill has been introduced in the
house of representatives and referred
to the committee on appropriations for
the creation of a special commission on
highways. 1t provides that one SEN
ator, two representatives, the chief of
engineers of the army, the director of
the geological survey and the chief of
road inquiry OF the department of agri
culture shall constitute a commission
to continue during the life of the pres
ent congress, to make reports by bill or
otherwise, and to inquire generally how
the government may promote the iu-
provement of highways by the scien-
titic location of roads on the public do
main, the employment of the geological
survey in the discovery of road ma
terials, the free testing of road ma
terials, the construction of model roads
and instruction in roadmaking at agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tons, the military academy, and, when
practicable, at all institutions having a
military instructor. The commission
is also to confer with the interstate
commerce commission and with rail-
way officials to secure reduced rates for
the transportation of road materials,
and by conference with state authori-
ties and organizations to aid in awaken
ing general interest in road improve
mcnt.
1t is not the function of the national
20 to1- ha
ton of wagon roads in the states, but
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-
terprises 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 to
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
on state prerogatives i'll scientific re-
search. The bill before the house de-
nlands no large outlay. 1t simply APP
propriates $40, 10095, being the amount
returned to the treasury unexpended
from the last two years appropriations
for road inquiry. The office of road i'll
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 I'M
der varying conditions. 1t is believed
by those who are doing the chief work
for improved highways that the pro-
posed commission would be a valuable
cid in the enterprise, and their opinion
Is entitled to consideration.-N. Y.

How to Make Mince Scallopa.

A nice way to utilize cold meat is to
cook one teaspoonful of onion cut fine
in two tablespoonfuls of butter, until
1t turns golden yellow. Add one cup
of fresh bread crumbs, one cup of
cooked meat chopped fine, one salt
spoon of salt, half saltspoon of pep
per, a quarter saltspoon of nutmeg,
and one teaspoon of thin, yellow rind
of lemon, and half-cup of water or
weak stock. Allow it to simmer five
minutes To this add two well-beaten
eggs. Serve on thin slices of brown
bread or between two square crackers

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

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 COM
fort and for the sake of keeping the
milk claen, the cows are to be brushed
ard groomed, where and when shall it
be 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 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 off, we have not
the least doubt.
AS to the time for grooming, it has
been found that just before milking ia

GOOD MILK TANK.
Aome-Made Device That Can Be Used
With or Without Ice.

Home-Made Device That Can Be Used
With or Without Ice.
Some one asked for plans for home
made milk tank or creamer for SIX or
eight cows, to be used with or without
ice. L describe one that we have used
with good satisfaction with water only.
1t is simple, convenient, durable and
cheap.
Any kind of cans can be used. Com
mon cans, holding IA quarts, can be had
of a timer for about rs cents, with
cover. Have them made to order, with
f1ange all around the bottom and a
bail like pail to lift by. A round can
of this description, SHs inches in diam
eter and IL inches deep, will hold about
3h gallons. 1t is nice size, convent
ent to handle, and in my judgment
preferable to an oblong can.
To accommodate four cans of this
size the tank ought to be about AXIS
inches inside, and IS inches deep. BY
making it 20 inches longer it will hold
two extra cans, and it will be good
place in which to keep the cream cans
in hot weather. The additional cost
will be but little.
The tank can be made of two-inch
material, we'll fitted and firmly bolted;
it can be made of lighter boards and
lined with galvanized iron. 1t should
have tight-titting hinged cover, and if
unprotected from the direct rays of the
sun, the cover ought to be double, with
IN air space between. The tank should
be placed near the pump, and be con-
nected with it by three-quarter-inch
pipe, or larger if the tank is much
