AERATlON AND COOLING.
A Matter of Million Dollars to Ameri-
can Dairymen.

A Matter of Million Dollars to Ameri-
can Dairymen.
Scientists tell us that the milk COM
ing from healthy COW, fed pure food,
is virtually free from germs and pure,
but practice teaches us that it is impos-
sible to secure the milk in that condi-
ton.
Even if the milk comes from per-
fectly clean stable, where the cows and
all surroundings are kept clean, the i'm
mediate aeration and cooling of the milk
are of incalculable value, providing al
ways that the work is done in room
where the air is pure.
Though no scientific explanation can
be given US as to the reason why aera-
ton improves the milk, yet it seems to
me possible that it may be caused by
the fact that many of the bacteria caus-
ing faint are anaerobic and develop best
where the air is excluded and that even

velop a little these are, if limited,

That cooling the milk at once after
milking is an enormous help in preserv-
ing it is easily understood when we
know that the development Of all spores
and bacteria is retarded exactly in pro-
portion to the reduction of the tempera-
ture. This is best understood by the
meteorological experiments, which
showed that milk containing originally
975 bacteria, kept at SO degrees, multi.

Cold Barns.

Those whose cattle barns are not
warm enough to work in comfortably
without an overcoat and mittens in the
winter or even without any coat in or
binary winter weather may be sure they
are not warm enough for the COWS to
do their best in, or for calves and young
stock to grow rapidly without extra al
lowance of heating food. Covering up
cracks and seeing that windows and
doors shut snugly will help some, but
we remember when a boy and when
cows were kept in barn with unshin-
gled sides and ends having to help line
the walls back of stock with old boards
and slabs nailed on the inside of the
posts and stuffing the space between
this lining and the outer boards with
bog hay, so that no wind could come

slide window where the manure was
thrown ont into the yard and putting
in q larger half window from an old
building SO that we had light enough to
take care of the COWS without leaving
door or window open was another i'm
provement, and all was done at small
expense and but little labor, which
were important considerations in those
days to poor farmers, trying to do the
best they could with what they had -

thus evident that, combining aeration

this is best obtained by letting the milk

DR.. Dingley, the Republican leader

habit of setting his hat on the desk
in front of him. One day Simpson
looked into the hat and found it
marked "London." For half an
hour the Kansas statesman kept
the House in a roar over the hat
with the London mark, and Mr.
Dingley had the bad taste to loose
his temper and possibly his love of
truth, for he declared the hat was
made in New York, and the maker
said he had a class of customers
who would pay more for it with the
London mark, so he put it there

clubbing with the San Francisco

w. J. BRYAN, who we sincerely
hope will be our next President,
has only the highest words of
praise for Senator William M.
Stewart, and saws he is doing grand
work for the silver cause, which is
the cause of humanity.
1t is a we'll known fact that SEN
ator Stewart is hated more sincere
ly by the gold men of the country
than any other dozen silver advo-
Gates in the land. He has been a
thorn in their flesh ever since he
landed in the Senate, eleven years
ago, and they would be mighty
glad to get him out of their way.
To this end they are trying to stir
up a fight in this State in which
they hope to down Stewart in his
aspirations to again succeed him.
self as U. S. Senator, and fair
means or foul will not be spared to
accomplish this if indications are
not misleading.
There are some papers in this
State which are running Bryan's
name at the head of their columns
as their choice for President in
1900, and yet, knowing full we'll
Bryan's esteem of Stewart, they
are opposing Stewards reelection.
The jewelry worn by consistency
in this case must certainly be in
hook. And their reasons for such
opposition are of the flimsiest char
acter. One desires his defeat on
the ground that he voted for the
Dingley tariff bill and thereby put
the tariff question in a position
where it can never be brought up
again as a national issue on the
ground that it will bring prosperity
to the country. Another one de-
sires his defeat because some others
who are in the employ of the c. P.
Co. desire his election. The State
has been fighting the Southern Pa
ciic Company for the past eighteen
years that we are aware of, and if
the State or any resident in it has
ever been benefited by the fight We
would like to hear about it. The
railroad company occupies the same
position in the State as a single
store does in small town. 1t con-
trolls the trade, and if you kick
about prices your credit is gone.
Start another store and competition
will give you lower prices. Build
another railroad across the State
and you will get cheaper freight
rates. Not till then. And anot her

LIEUE PHILIP M. BANNoN.
Hero of the FfRbts I'm Guantana ms
IN Marylander.

Lieut.. Philip M. Bannon, United States
Marines. who has taken part in the fight
Ing with the Spaniards at Guantanamo.
Cuba belongs to a family well known in
Maryland politics.
His father was Michael Bannon. a law
yer, who practiced extensively in Balti-
more and in Annapolis, and was the
Democratic leader of Anne Arundel county
and prominent in the State councils of
his party. From 1850 until 1880 Mr.. Ban
non was one of Senator Germans most
active lieutenants in the State and to his
vigorous work Senator German owed
much of his early political success. For
four years Mr.. Bannon was State sem
ator from Anne Arundel county.
The lieutenant was born near Jessups.
Anne Arundel county about 1S11. He was
educated at public schools of the county
and later at Rock Hill College, near ELL
colt City, Howard county. He was then
a tall, slender youth, fond of athletic
sports and general favorite with his col
lege associates.
About 1856 he left Rock Hill College to
accept an appointment to the Naval
Academy. He graduated there in the
class with the late Ensign Worth Bagiey
and elected to serve in the marine branch
OF tne Navy, because ne pTtltETSu liie
work and because promotion in it is
comparatively rapid.
His service with the marines has been
signally successful. He has risen rapid
ly in rank because of his executive abil-
ity and qualities as a commander and
disciplinarian. He is recognized as a cool,
courageous officer resourceful and deter
mined. These qualities undoubtedly led
TO his selection as one of the command
ers of marines TO occupy and hold Crest
Heights on the shore of Cuba.
Lieut.. Bannon has number of rela-
tives in Maryland. A mother and two
sisters reside al the family home at Jes-
sops. James p. Bannon, brother, is a
lawyer of Baltimore and Annapolis. The
late John c. Bannon. the young Demo-
cratic leader of Anne Arundel county.
and State Senator ]. Writ Randalls con-
testant for the State senate. was another
brother. Lieut.. Bannon has two other
brothers, Thomas and Joseph Bannon.
