Alfalfa hay, one of the best foods, is
robbed of half its value for milk max
ing by being cut too late, when it is
placed in the managers of the COWS a
mass of dry, woody stems only to be re-
jeoted and dropped under their feet in
stead of the soft, sweet hay to be eaten
with relish, that little forethought
could have so well provided
Alfalfa pasture alone is not perfect
food. The lack of bone forming mate
rial is painfully evidenced by some Of
the calves being born with weak loins
and backs, almost amounting to ricketts,,
when the dams have been pastured for
long periods exclusively on alfalfa. We
are growing cats and peas to fill the
new silo and hope to cheaper the re-
1uired protein and grain succulency at
e.same time The same piece of land
in the summer will raise a second crop
when planted to White Dent corn to fill
the old silo These two crops make
more food than the same land could pos
sibly produce if planted in alfalfa. Ma

Deafness In school Children.

The fact that myopia is frequent
among school children is we'll known.
1t is not SO well known that impair
ed hearing is also frequently met with.
The children thus affected are often &C.
cused of being lazy and inattentive,
when in reality their ears are at fault.
Helot shows that tn se cases are quite
common, are easily recognized, are gen.
orally durable and when cured large
number of children are transformed, SC
to speak, both from physical and q
moral standpoint According to We'll
of Stuttgart. the proportion of school
children with impaired hearing is So
per cent; according to Moure of Bor-
deaux, II per cent. Helot agrees with
Gete and other aurists that the proper
ton is % per cent, or one-fourth. All
the children in class should be care
fully examined, and these semideaf pu-
pills will always be found among the
poor scholars. The cause of infirmity
is to be sought for-nasopharyngeal
catarrh following measles, scarlatina,
whooping cough, adenoid negotiations,
hypertrophied tonsils, etc. and normal
conditions are to be restored by appro-
pirate treatment. - Popular Science

ice after 1t has been stored. In other
words, where ice is available there
should be an icehouse or ice storage
chamber so situated with reference to
the cooling room that the bottom of
this ice storehouse may be provided
with a coil of galvanized iron pipe,
upon which the ice of the whole storage
chamber rests directly. Then as the
cooling brine is circulated through this
coil upon which the ice rests it would
withdraw from the ice SO many cooling
units as are needed to do the work. with
no other labor than simply pumping
the brine through this refrigerating
coil and the milk cooler. I present
here a diagram illustrating this idea.
1t will be seen that such plan would
allow the ice to settle down upon the
cooling coil as rapidly as it is melted
and the water SO melted should be
drawn off and could be used for refrig-
Grating purposes as well as the brine.

tails of construction any further than

The Scurf Caused by Mite Which Must
Be Destroyed.
"Of bunch Of this spring. pigs from
five to nine weeks old about half had
what we call scurf Ihave weaned them,
thinking it might be caused from the
milk from the sows, as they seem to be
troubled the same way. The sows have
been fed soaked corn and milk swill and
have had plenty of range and oat pas
ture. / am giving the pigs light feed
of soaked corn with a good lot of sui
phur mixed in the corn. also give
sulphur In sour milk and let them run
where they can get plenty Of green's. /
also take carbolic acid and dilute with
water and sprinkle it over them when
feeding.
Answer. -Scurf, or mango. is difficult
to cure. 1t is caused by small mite
that burrows in the skin, and to get rid
of it the mite must be destroyed. The
treatment mentioned has such tend
ency, but as the application is most
effective when applied locally there has
been too much reliance upon the in
ternal treatment. The sulphur internal
ly is not harmful, but it will take too
much time. The process is too slow.
In the first place, the pens and sleep
ing quarters should be frequently disin-
fected with crude carbolic acid and
lime. The surface affected should be
treated with salYe made as follows:
Four ounces Of salicylio acid, the same
amount Of hyposulphite Of sodium, s
ounces of oosmoline or lard, and If the
lard is used small amount Of beeswax
should be added to make the mixture
firm. The cosmoline or lard should be
melted over slow fire, and while it is
warm enough still to remain liquid
stir in the other ingredients slowly nm
til they are thoroughly mixed When
cold, apply to the diseased skin Of the
hogs every day until cure is effected.
II many hogs are to be treated. the
amount should be doubled or quadrupled
as the necessities may require. In stir
ring in the salicylic acid care should
be used to keep the face away from the
mixture, or the person who does the
work will have violent case of sneez-
ing. The salve mentioned is good for
man or beast where there is violent
and persistent eruption Of the skin.
Do not forget to disinfect the pens
and sleeping quarters Of the animals.
The crude carbolic acid is good, but
when applied strong enough to be effect
i've it is likely to make the animals
sick. -Shep in Breeders Gazette

PROTECT FROM suNsTRoKE.


Glass Helmets Declared by . Fremch
Professor to BE the Proper Thing.
Prof. Lannelongue, 2 famous French
scientist and collaboration OF Prof.
Cookies, has invented a hamlet made Of
strontium glass, for the purpose OF
warding of the SUMS 4 rays Although
most people do not realize II, sunlight
contains g certain proportion OF what
Ere called Xrays. If these are detected
at certain angle they will blister hui
man flesh. The causes OF this detection
are trivial in themselves, but Prof. Lam
neiongue claims that they are none the
less powerful because Of the results
they bring about. He believes thatitis
these x rays in the sunlight that bring
about what is known as sunstroke, and
that If the proper means were taken to
defect them again such thing as sum
stroke would become almost unknown.
The attention OF this distinguished
surgeon was first called to the peculiar
effects of the SUMS rays by an incident
that he witnessed. He was watching a
number of children who were playing
I in courtyard in the shadow Of a wall,
the top of which was in strong sunlight.
Suddenly several Of the children began
to act IN a most peculiar manner, dane
ling around. each with his hand on his
head CRYING out: my head burns!''
Prof. Lannelongue at once went to the
place where the children were at play,
and. examining their heads, found bis
tiers on the scalp Of every one. In trying
TO account to himself for the phenom-
enon he wondered If the blisters had
been produced by x rays projected from
the top of the wall. He instituted in his
laboratory series of experiments on
several persons. Some Of these when
exposed to the action of the rays, were
protected by stronium glass, and these
were not at all injured. Other persons
experimental upon who were not SIM
ilarly protected were burned in the
same manner as the children had been.

Making Them Available In the Work of
Cooling Milk.
Professor F. H. King has prepared
for Hoard's Dairyman sketch and il
lustration of method proposed by him
for cooling milk and keeping it cool by
means of pipes circulating cold brine
through the refrigerator. The system
requires also, of course, the use of ice.
Part of Professor Kings idea is to save
the ice water as fast as it is melted and
make it help further in the work of
refrigeration. The brine pipes produce
greater cold.
Professor King explains his plan as
follows:
The cheapest device, everything con-
sidered, where permanent outfit is to
be erected, would be one which utilized
the cooling power of the ice without
the labor and losses of rehandling the

Summer Drink For Horses and Men.


The bad effects of drinking clear
water in large quantities when the sys-
tenn is exhausted by heavy work in hot
weather may be prevented by putting
a small quantity of sifted oatmeal in
the water before drinking it. There is
a great deal of nourishment in the oat-
meal, and it furnishes something for
the stomach to work on that is quickly
digested and soon goes into the circula-
ton. When we were hard at work in
the hay or harvest field, we learned to
prefer water with oatmeal in it to the
compounds of lemon juice with water,
which, while they were pleasing to the
palate, did not give the satisfying feel
ing in the stomach that little oatmeal
with water always gave. This was long
ago recommended as a midday drink
for horses hard at work, and we have
found it just as good for people For a
strengthening drink for inyalids oat-
meal with water is much better than
beef tea, whose nutritive value has been
greatly exaggerated in popular belief

Bronze was very extensively used by
the Swiss lake dwellers In the manu-

useful and ornamental. such as swords,
knives, fish hooks, javelin heads. pins.
needles, bracelets, etc. Their bronze
swords were similar to those found in
other parts of Europe of the same era.
rather short, broad. and thick; some
plain, others highly ornamented. Their
bronze knives are of two patterns.
some very large and curved. and thick

IDENTIFY intended for hard usage. prob
ably in harvesting, for we know that
these people raised barley, wheat and
fax. The smaller knives were of finer
workmanship, averaging about five
inches in length, very thin, and now,
after having lain buried in the mud of
the lake for 90 centuries or more, still
have fine, cutting edges.
The javelin and spear heads resemble
those of Roman and Etruscan make.
and perhaps many of them were forged
in Rome and welded by the Roman
invaders Of Helvetia. The bronze fish
hooks are almost identical in form with
those of iron used by us to-day, hav-
ing at the end of the shaft fat head
to retain the line, and sharp point
and barb. They are recovered in great
quantities. The needles of bronze are

was paying 16 cents gallon for milk

difficulty in getting the farmers to sup

to the country store and traded it off
on basis Of IL cents pound. There
was a great deal more money in the

they had always been accustomed to
trading at the store, and they would
still continue to trade, no matter what
