MILK PAIL COVERS.
On the Island of Jersey They Are Used
on Every Well-Conducted
Dairy Farm.

On the isle of Jersey it is said, they
cover the milk pail with muslin and
milk into it. To hold the cloth in place
they cut piece of spring steel little
smaller than the top of the pail. A
piece of the cloth is cut to be larger
than the pail top and the edge is
hemmed over the steel, and this is
placed over the top of the pail, the steel
holding it in place. To get the cloth
the right size, pass the cloth over the
pail and fasten it in place with the
spring; then mark where the spring
comes, fold up the hem just there and
run the spring through 1t. A similar
arrangement, used by Virginia dairy
man, was made of a ring Of telegraph
wire, cut to be an inch smaller than the
top of the pail and bent 80 the ends would
almost meet. A circle of cloth an inch
larger all around than the ring, so there
should be little sag, had hem about
the edge, through which the wire was
run. This was placed just within the
rim Of the pail and MIXED into. One
of these was counted as part of each
milk pail. The filth gathered upon IL
was proof of the need of 1t, but, while
gain over the open milk pail, 1t Is not
as good as the other, which protects
the entire top, even to the place of pour
ing out.-Troy IN. W Times.

GIVEN BY TREES.

Turpentine is the raw sap of the
pitchpine.
Tar distilled furnishes wood vinegar,
creosote and pitch.
The cinchona is robbed of its bark
for the sake of the quinine which 1t
contains.
Car and tram wheels have been made
OF wood pulp and it is taking the place
for roofing of corrugated iron, tiles
and states.
Vanillin, an artificial substitute for
vanilla. is made from the sap of the
Scotch pine, while kind of rubber has
been obtained from the common birch.
Some industrious statistician has
calculated that In the United States
100000 cords of maple are used annu-
ally in the manufacture of shoe pegs
and 100000 cubic feet Of pine in making
matches.

textile fabrics.
1t is curious to note that wood tar
Is prepared just as it was in the fourth
century before Christ. A bank is
chosen and hole dug, into which the
wood is placed covered with turf. A
fire is lighted underneath and the tar
slowly drips into the barrels placed to
receive it.
Wood has had an important influence
on the papermaking industry. Young
saplings, which before were not worth
cutting down for fuel, can now be con-
verted into pasteboard. A tree was
cut down in Galveston, Tex, at ten
o'clock in the morning and converted
first into pulp and then into paper, by
six o'clock in the evening. At six
o'clock the next morning it was being
distributed as daily paper.

Thousands Follow IA Dead Crocodile.

A crocodile which, in the course of
several weeks, manages to devour some
Is men and cattle, is in fair way to es-
tablish a record. A gharial which in
tested the River Borali, near Silchar, had
achieved this unenviable notoriety and
was fast becoming terror to the in
habitants of the town; il had, in fact,
become necessary to protect bathing
in the river. Some days ago. how
ever, Subadar Maula Khan, of the
Seventeenth Bengal infantry, now at
Silchar, waited for the crocodile. and
succeeded in disposing of her with
three shots from rifle. In the attempt
to drag the animal out of the water a
boat was upset and the animal was
eventually towed ashore by a steamer.

ster in triumph TO the regimental lines,
