Philadelphia. Dec. 22.-It is estimated that between 25,000 and S0,000 persons in this city are suffering from grip, and doctors report the epidemic on the in- crease. At the board of health to-day six deaths were reported to have oc- cured within the past twenty four hours directly due to grip, and twelve other deaths were traced indirectly to the same cause. All the hospitals have an unusually large number of grip pa- tients, and in several instances the sufferers have lost their reason and have to be strapped to their beds. Of 10000 school children, nearly 10000 are sick at home. City councils could bare ly raise a quorum to-day there were so many absentees from grip. Reports received from eastern Pennsylvania and south New Jersey point to an epi- demic of the disease in these sections.

this session, was distasteful to the
majority Of the senate. It was
not until Senator Nelson took
hold of the question that there
was any prospect Of getting a
bankruptcy bill through the SEN

with the approval Of that body

TaInts In rIIlk.

Many users of ensilage and certain
root crops complain of the taints of
these foods absorbed by the milk. AS
rule, there is nothing in the complaint
so far as ensilage is concerned If the
preCaution is taken to feed only sweet
ensilage. Decayed ensilage is not only
worthless as food, but will taint the
milk and often produce irregularities in
the cow Examination Of the structure
Of a cows digestive organs and close
observation of the action of foods in
the stomach, disclose the fact that after
eating anything likely to taint the milk,
it Is an hour or more before the effect
Of such foods would be noticed in the
milk, even as closely connected as are
stomach and milk ducts. On the other
hand, the danger Of taint is likely to
remain for many hours, usually about
ten, after the food is eaten. A simple
way, therefore, to avoid all danger from
possible taints is to give such foods as
roots so that at least ten hours will
elapse after feeding before milking is
done. For this reason the feeding Of
turnips, carrots or any other foods likely
to taint the milk should be done at night
after milking.

Time to Whltewash.

During the summer, Whitewashing is
especially necessary on the farm where
poultry is raised. Buildings and coOps
should be whitewashed inside and out,
and nest boxes, rOosts and even trees
and fences should have thick coat Of
the cleansing material. The objection to
the glare OF the whitewash may be re-
moved by using cOlOring matter mixed
in, yellow ochre, for example, giving it
a desirable cream color. To make a
wash that will last almost as long as
good paint, slake one-half bushel of lime
in boiling water, and after straining to
remove sediment add two pounds Of sui
phate of zinc. one pound of salt and
one-half pound of whiting, all thorough
ly dissolved. Mix to the proper consis-
tency for quick application with little
milk or water, and apply hot. This has
all the effectiveness Of whltewash, is
cheaper than paint and will last and look
well for several seasons. For nest boxes,
roosts and inside of coops and houses,
ordinary slaked lime is best, applying 1t
several times during the summer and at
least once in the fall and again during
the winter.
