gratifying success has attended the use

whatever out Of the ordinary, appear in

ment Of forced draught gives promise
OF great economy in fuel, as well as do
ing away with the expensive and unpr-
nameptal chimney. The draught ar
rangeEcnt consists of q large fan,
which is connected with a four by four
double cylinder engine. The fan has
a wheel 81 inches in diameter and runs
at almost any rate Of speed desired.
The draught is something prodigious
and makes it possible 10 employ fuel
of n lower grade than any heretofore
used. Instead of the best Cumberland
coal, n mixture of Cumberland and
screenings has been tried. The cost of
operating the fan, even with im.<ertect

Erect of Lime on the system.

CheCt VI HIHle On the DSSNS"'
A medical scientist is authority for
the statement that children and old
people especially suffer from a lack
Of lime in the system. Persons who
habitually drink soft water, while
they may enjoy immunity from GER
tain Of the Ills OF life, expose them
selves to others perhaps quite as much
to be avoided. Hard water helps the
teeth and the bones by furnishing
lime, which is necessary to health,
growth and development. Old persons
who drink but little lose their teeth
more quickly than those who take a
reasonable amount of drinking water.
Lime, or food products in which it
abounds, should be q part of the regu-
lar supply furnished to the system.
One of the most valuable vegetables
for this purpose is the yellow turpip
or rutabaga, which should be given to.
growing children at least once a week.
Properly prepared, it is very relish
able and it's food value has never been
oppreciated.-N. Y. Ledger.

proving very advantageous to the settlers
of North Alberta, Canada, and is truly
boon to the farmers, is the establishment of
creameries by the Government at regular dis
tances apart. The Government furnishes
the entire plant, puts it in and operates it
without direct cost to the farmer. from
the sale of the butter the Government re-
tains cents per pound, the balance going to
the farmer. This is continued for three
years when the Government turns over the
plant and business to the farmers, giving
them a clear title of it. Thus these creamer-
les are put in at minimum cost to the farm
er and paid for in way that he least feels it,
When we were there butter was selling at
q and % cents per pound. Cheese factories
were being established, too, along the rail
road and much of the freight loaded on the
cars on our return trip consisted of butter
and cheese, as it was in the best season for
milk. The produce found ready market in
the mining and numbering towns and dis
tricts beyond the Rockies, through the Brit
ish Columbia country, where it was, we
were told, difficult to supply the demand"
The Klondike is another field now open
to the Western Canadian farmer for all
produce of the farm, and the officials in the
Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Cana
da, are kept busy sending out literature de-
scribing this great agricultural country. The
agents of the Government throughout the
United States are also supplied with litera-
ture, which they distribute free.

HINTS FOR DAlRYMEN.


Good mixers usually enjoy being
MIXED.
The COW will transmit even an ac-
quired habit.
Salt is the best thing to scour pans

Poor cheese is often the result of a,
lack of cleanliness.
Never use the milk cans and pals for
any other purpose.
Buy the best cow, if you must buy,
and breed better one.
Corn slower from the early varieties,
if properly cured, is best.
You will never make money selling
butter, to the country stores.
The eye of the good cow should be
large and the forehead broad.
The dairy rooms should be exclusive
ly used for dairy purposes.
Corn slower shredded contains as
much food material as the best hay.
Water used in the dairy should come
from deep wells or clear springs.
Before using ladies and butter prints
soak in hot water and rinse in cold.
A dairy room should be so light that
dirt can be seen, if anywhere in it.
Moisten corn slower with water and
sprinkle with bran to improve its flavor.
Dairy utensils should be sterilized
every day and steam is the best for do
ing it.
Dried butter on dairy implements is
hard to remove. Wash off with cold
water at once.-Western Plowman.

FILTRATION OF MILK.
Sent Upward by Pressure Through
Layers of Sand.

Layers of Sand.
The control of the milk supplies at its
source is subject which is engaging
much attention at the present time;
but, while something has been accom-
plished, nobody can really answer for
the cleanliness of the cows and the
millersat five o'clock on winter morn
ing on small homesteads in the country.
The more conspicuous objects, as cow
hairs, are indeed removed by straining
through coarse muslin, but quantity
Of fine dirt, which would suffice to rem
der transparent liquid visibly turbid,
will probably remain.
Some of the dirt to be seen at the bot
tom of pail, jug, or even glass, con-
sists of mineral dust, but the greater
part is neither more nor less than COW
dung, fact which furnishes an obvious
explanation of the myriads of bacillus
coli present in So many samples of
milk; yet, strange to say. no one seems
to think it necessary to filter milk,
though it always contains a vast num-
Der of the bacilli, fraction of which
would be deemed sufficient to condemn
any water as unfit for drinking, and
the known outbreaks of typhoid fever
traceable to milk are far more numer-
Gus than those attributable to public
water supplies, for milk presents an ex-
cellent culture fluid for the bacilli of
tine bowel.
Sand filtration of milk on its arrival,
whether by road or rail, at the central
depot has been practiced for several
years in some cities, as by the Copen-
hagen Dairy company and by Messrs.
Bolle, of Berlin, whose arrangements,
alike for the purity of the milk and for
the physical and moral welfare of the
persons lover 1000 in number) in their
employment, are well worthy of imita-
ton. The filters used in this dairy con-
sist of large cylindrical vessels divided
by horizontal perforated diaphragms
into five superposed compartments, of
which the middle three are filled with
fine clean sand sifted into three sizes,
the coarsest being put into the lowest
and the finest into the uppermost of the
three chambers.
The lowest of all is partly occupied by
perforated, inverted, truncated cone,
which assists in supporting the weight
of the filtering material. The milk en-
tiers this lowest compartment by pipe
under gravitation pressure, and after
having traversed the layers of sand
from below upward, is carried by an
overflow to cooler fed with ice water,
whence it passes into a cistern from
which it is drawn direct to the locked
cans for distribution.
1t is the rule of this dairy, also, when
ever any epidemic or epizootic occurs
in the districts whence its supplies are
obtained, TO subject the whole before
admission to the filter to tempera lures
first of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, and
then about 220 degrees Fahrenheit, in
two apparatus interposed in the course
OF the pipe supplying the filter. The
filtered milk is not only freed from dirt,
but the number of bacteria is reduced
to about one-third, without sterilizing;
the loss of fat is in new milk stated to
oe small, but the quantity of mucus and
Shiny matter retained in the sand
which is, of course. renewed every time
is surprising.-British Medical Jour

At the meeting of the Evangelical al
lance, held in Harrisburg, Pa, an ad-
dress on "The Necessity of Educating
Public Opinion" was made by A. B.
Farquhar, and one of the first subjects
he considered was the effects of roads
on urban and rural population, and the
Importance of educating public opinion
on the subject. This portion of the adj
dress was as follows:
"The rapid increase of our urban
population is fraught with danger
Temptations increase with increased
facilities and opportunities. Children
are tumbled together in the streets as
indiscriminately as garbage in the
sewers, and they pass into the COM
munity a mass of filth. People are
fiocking to the cities, believing they
can live happier and better life
there, and were they not debased by
concentration, there would be less dis
appointment. The evil conditions must
be discovered and rectified. The
thought that where society ought to
exist in its highest state, with most con-
genial environment, it must lapse into
vice and immortality is intolerable.

and advantages over life in the city. Our
