DAIRY SUGGESTIONS,

A really good dairy cow can be
profitably kept until she is eight years
old.
Don't allow your cows, young cattle
or sheep to be pinched in their feed dur
ing the winter.
Do not expect a good milk cow to
become beef fat while she is yielding a
good flow of milk.
AS rule, profitable cow is good
eater, but some COWS have eyes larger
than their stomachs, like some men.
If the heifer is to develop into a
profitable COW, her first milking period
must be extended as much as possible.
The solid part of milk is made large
ly from muscle-making foods. The
dairyman must use good deal of corn
in his feeding ration, but it should be
balanced up with oats or something
of that kind.
Lack of skill in milking, unkind treat
ment, improper or irregular feeding,
and a cold stable will soon spoil the
best dairy herd il existence. See that
none of these methods" are practiced
in your dairy.
While it is best to keep water where
the cows can help themselves, when this
cannot be done conveniently, the best
:. plan is to see that they have all the
pure, fresh water they will drink regu.
larly twice a day. ~.,%. a
The cow likes regularity, and when
the regular routine of her life is dis
turbed she resents it by giving less milk
She is not very particular whether she
has three meals a day or two, but she
wants what she does have regularly.
Those who have had much expert
cnce know that there is a great differ.
cnce in salts. A sample should always
be thoroughly tried before buying large
quantities, no matter what inducement
may be offered. II it does not suit il

Insanity I'm Animals,

Even the lower animals are not ex-
empt from attacks of insanity. In.
stances are given of cattle working
themselves into a frenzy while being
driven through a crowded town, and 81
horses seized with an apparently un.
comfortable impulse to murderous fury.
A scientist of authority even goes SO far
as to insist, on what appears to be un-
contestible evidence, that cats, dogs
and monkeys have been observed to
have decisions, very similar to those Of
insane people, Chicago Tribune.

FACTS ABOUT MILK.

Points with Which Every Dairymau
Should BE Familiar.
Milk should be kept in a cool place,
free from odors and in perfectly clean
vessels Of well-glazed earthen or porce.
lain ware or glass jar. Tin and wood
are Objectionable.
Milk should be kept perfectly sweet
for household use-in summer from a
to So hours after delivery, if maintained
at so degrees Fahrenheit.
The Pasteurization or sterilization OF
milk destroys all the germs present, by
means of heat.
It. is estimated that one-third of all
children die before they are three years
old. and one of the leading causes of in:
FAINT mortality is unwholesome milk.
Bad milk cannot be made perfect by
Pasteurization, but the danger from its
consumption can be lessencd.
The Pasteurization process is to place
the milk in a glass bottle plugged tight
with dry, clean cotton, and immcrse
the bottle up to the neck in water main
tanned at $50 degrees Fahrenheit, Left
there for some time, then removed ano
kept in a COO! place.
Separator cream is much richer thar
.'gravity cream" and for this reason
preferred for whipping.
Cream is sometimes kept for two
weeks before it is sold.
When good milk is poured from q
tumbler It will cling to the glass lit
tie, and not run of clean like water.
The yellow color of the milk is not 6
safe. standard by which to judge its
quality, for the poor milk from some
COWS may be more highly colored thar
rich milk from others. All milk from
fresh cows Immediately after parturi
ton is mere yellow than at later date
The average dairy cow gives $50 gal
Ions of milk per year, or about
enough to supply II persons with milk

A NOVEL FOUNDATION.

The new $4,OOO,UOO federal building
in Chicago will stand on series of
points instead of resting on a founda-
ton extending evenly along the entire
wall line. The weight of the huge
structure will be so adjusted that it
will rest on cement columns 30 feet
apart, these columns going down to
bed rock 7c feet below the surface of
the earth. This is the plan adopted in
modern bridge building and represents
the most advanced progress in that
field of construction. The mode of ex-
cavating for the foundation is very in
teresting and simplicity itself. "A Sec
ton of a wrought-iron tube of the de-
sired diameter is set upon the ground
on it's rim and as the earth within the
circle is removed the tube sinks. When
the top of the first section settles down
tc the level of the earth's surface
second section is placed above it and
the digging process is continued. One
section after another disappears and
bed rock is eventually reached without
the slightest disturbance to the sur
rounding material occurring. There is
no settling of neighboring foundations,
no lettering walls, no alarm or disquiet
of any sort.
When the excavation is completed
there is clean iron-walled hole into
which the cement is poured and sub
jected to the necessary pressure. When
the iron tube is filed the job is fin
ished, the iron casing being allowed
- s~1>
constitute the foundation for the Chi
cago building will vary in diameter
from IL to Is feet: Through the wear
and tear of ages they will support all
the weight that they will be called
upon to bear.
BY this plan it will not be necessary
to drive piling down to bed rock or to
resort to any of the methods for max
ing broad bases for foundations to rest
upon, so familiar TO Chicago builders
of lofty edifices and heavy business
blocks. The element of uncertainty
will be- entirely eliminated. Cement
columns have been tried in the con-
struction of all the great iron and steel
bridges built in recent years and found
to be wholly satisfactory. There is
no guesswork, no speculation as to the
precise weight a cement column of GER
tain dimensions standing on solid rock
will sustain. 1t is simple mathemat-
ical and engineering proposition.
The Chicago foundation will cost less
than 5000: 900. Work upon it can be
commenced the minute Contractor
Harris finishes the removal of the old
wreck that now .iisfigures the site.
The plans for building and foundations
are now practically done, some of the
details only remaining unfinished at
this writing. Mr.. Cobb, the architect,
says that the new Chicago post office
will be the most scientifically con-
structed building in the United States.

HIGH SCHOOL COURSE.
Has Been Arranged by Superintendent ut
j. c. Taylor and Principals of
Schools Of the County.

An important meeting of school prin-
cipals from the several boroughs and
townships of Lackawanna county was
held in the office of Superintendent j.
c. Taylor, Saturday, Sept. IS. The pur-
pose of this meeting, as stated in Mr.
Taylor's circular letter to principals
was Ito formulate, if possible, a high
school course to be used in all high
schools of the county where it may be
recommended by the principals and
adopted by the school boards"
In response to this invitation. thir.
teen principals met in Superintendent
Taylor's Office at o'clock and con-
tinued in session nearly three hours
Those present were: Miss C. A, Ken
yon. of Blakely; Miss Mary c. Barrett
of Carbondale township; w. A. Kelly,
of Archibald; John A. Moyles, of Win

ington; F. c. Hanyen, of Waverly;
Thomas j, Coyne, of Lackawanna
township; John H. Davy, of Lacka-
wanna township, and F. r. Coyne, of
Old Forge. After much consideration
the committee decided to recommend
the following two-year course for the
high schools of the county:
FIRST YEAR.
l. Arithmetic finished.
2. Algebra to Quadratics.
g. Rhetoric and composition
4. Physical geograpky-one-haf year.
Civil government-one-half year.
8. General history (ancienO.
SECOND YEAR.
]. Algebra completed.
2. Plane geometry.
3. Literature.
4. Physics
.. General history (medeval and mod
ern).
Although there was much discussion
as to what subjects should constitute
the course, the meeting was very har-
monious, and the decision made was
nearly unanimous.
The principle by which the commit
tee was guided was that the work of
each wear should be the most valua
BILE work that the pupil could do, if he
were to leave school at the end of that
| year.
