thing is the scalding. Then care should
be taken that the garments worn by
the mixers be not those that have
been exposed to the germs. Every
thing about the milking should be
washed, including hands and face. We
realize the fact that it would be better
II the farmer, in case of the outbreak
OF a contagious disease in his family,
would decline to sell his milk for some
time, but we also know that most
farmers feel too poor to make so great
a sacrifice. Unless the sacrifice is to
be made, extraordinary precautions
should be taken.

MANIToBA's CAPACITY,
Enough Wheat to Supply Britain All
She Requires from Abroad.


She Requires from Abroad.
Toronto, Nov. 10.-The "World"
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity OF
Canada as a granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows
Manitoba has an area of forty-seven
million acres. Deducting ten million
for lakes, rivers, town sites and waste
land. 100000 acres are left for farm
cultivation or homes for 10000 farnil-
les on 800 acres each, and as up to now
there are only $1,000 farmers there al
together, that leaves room in one prov
ince for 89,008 more wheat growers.
Supposing, then, we got them there
and each one of them out of his 800
acres grew on an average 100 acres at
20 bushels to the acre; if you figure it
I'D you will find it is quite possible for
Manitoba alone to supply us with all
the wheat we require from abroad. 1t
is only question Of money and COM
paratively speaking not money either
The cost of one first-class battleship
(about f750,000) would pute5, 900 fam
lilies onto farms in the Northwest, al
lowing ESQ to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, ETC., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an
extra 100000 bushels, for if that
scheme is not liked Britain would put
a duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres in Assiniboia,

MIX Pals and Disease Germs.

Milk pals should be carefully
handled in order to keep disease germs
out of the milk. Doubtless this utensil
is often the carrier of disease from one
place to another. It is connecting
link between the disease and the
healthy people in the distant city. A
child may be sick with scarlet fever
in the house of some farmer that sup
plies milk to city rnilkmen. The fact
of the scarlet fever being in his house
is thought no reason why his milk
should not continue to be used, as the
COWS are in the barn perhaps far from
the house. But the milk pals are
kept in the house. The germs of dis
eases are very small and very numer-
Gus. Some Of them fly like dust in the
air. 1t is very easy for a single germ
out of the millions to get into the room
where the milk pals are kept and
settle into a pail. The mixer takes
the pail and does the milking, and the
milk and germ are sent to the city.
In the transit the germ multiplies, for
it has a delightful medium in which
to grow. BY the time it has reached
the CITY customers the milk contains
thousands of germs and these are dis
tributed to numerous customers. IN
most cases the people that swallow
this germ-infested milk receive no
harm from it, their systems being able
to throw off or destroy the germs. But
among the customers are found few
u,booo svstems are susceptible of being
made the prey of the disease germs,
and these fall victims.
Tn case Of any contagious disease
breaking out in the family of man
that supplies milk extraordinary pre-
cautions should be taken. The milk
nails should never be used till they
have been scalded out with boiling
water Even this is not sure way of
reening out the germs. steaming being
ranuired to make them absolutely safe.
AS most people are not in reach OF an

Insist on Having Good MIX.

Every creameryman receiving milk
from his patrons should insist upon
each one furnishing first-class raw
product, as that is the only way IN
which first-class product can be de-
livered from the creamery, says Elgln
Dairy report. The fear that many
creamerymen have that if they do not
receive the milk the other creamery
man will, is based on the wrong pr1n-
ciples of business. AS long as you in
sist upon having good milk to start
with, you will have uniformly good
product, if you are doing the work at
your end of the line correctly. The
other fellow taking the bad milk will
not have always good product, and
therefore cannot pay prices that you
can afford to pay the patrons, and II
this continues long enough on that
same basis, the time will come when
you will have the good patrons-those
who care for the milk properly-and
the other fellow will have the poor
ones; and either he or the patrons will
have to go out of business, or both. We
believe it is possible for the creamery
men to do very much to increase the
quality of the raw product as we'll as
the quantity delivered. BY encourag-
ing the patrons in making better and
higher grade of milk, you will be en-
abled to make a more uniform and
higher grade product, getting more
money therefor, and that encourages
the farmers to produce more and bet
ter milk This is one of the live ques-
tons of the day in connection with the
dairy industry. There is a consider
able amount of discussion among pa
irons of creameries because Of the low
prices paid for milk. IT. is true butter
and cheese have been ruling low for
the last year, but compared with other
agricultural products, they have held
their own very we'll, and have been
more uniform in price than any other
agricultural product Creamerymen
certainly owe it to themselves and the
industry to see to it that they do moth
ing to lower not only the standard of
the product that they make, but the
standard of the raw product from
which they must produce their goods.
Educate your farmers along the line
of better milk, and you will have edu-
Gated them along the line of larger
supply. That is what each creamery
man most desires.

Getting Rid of Laying Workers.

In late issue of the American Bee
Journal Edwin Bevins claims to have
discovered two alternative ways in
which laying-worker colonies can be
disposed of SO as to get all the service
out of the bees that they can render,
and yet keep the number of the col
onies up to what it was before. One
way is to place the hive containing the
laying workers over a strong colony
with fertile queen, placing a newspa-
per with small hole in it between the
two hives. The bees will unite peace
ably, and when considerable worker
brood appears in the upper hive the
hive can be placed on another Stand,
and the bees will rear queen from
the brood, if the old queen is left in
the lower hive; or a fertile queen can
be introduced about three days after
the removal Of the hive. The other
plan involves the taking of a couple
of frames of Matching brood from a hive
and placing them in another hive over
a strong colony, with frame having
wire-cloth nailed to both sides of it
between the two hives. Then fertile
queen and her escort are released on
the two combs, and in a few days
there will be a nucleus strong enough
to take care Of the queen. This hive
is then set down by the side of the
hive holding the laying workers. Every
two or three days a frame with it's
bees must be transferred from the lay
ing-worker hive to the nucleus. By
the time all but two of the frames are
placed in the new hive the queen is at
work there and everything is harmoni-
Gus. AS regards the two frames taken
to form the nucleus, they can be re-
turned to the places from which they
were taken, or these places can be
filed by the frames remaining unused
in the laying-worker hive.
Fresh Eggs in Demand.-A great
many of the eggs that reach the large
cities are what is known as lined eggs,
and are purchased by those who buy
the cheapest in the market, bakers be-
ing the best customers. They do not
begin to compete with strictly fresh
eggs. which are bought by different
class of customers, and it is doubtful
if it really pays to lime the eggs ex-
cent in the extreme west, or in those
sections where eggs in the summer are
very cheap and plentiful. In the east
there is always ready sale for fresh
eggs.-Ex.

Among the Poultry.

from Farmers Review: Dust for
roultry.-It is well-known fact that
al land fowls depend on their daily
DUST bath as a preventive of insect
PARASITES, and as the winter closes up
Tue outdoor and under the barn dust
lug places, some provision should be
inaoe on every farm, and within every
poultry house, for this source of health
ana comfort The prudent poultry
Aeeper will have stored up from the dry
ROAD track good lot of the summer
dust, which is the best and cheapest
material for this purpose. If this pro-
vision mas not been made then sifted
coal ashes are an excellent substitute.
wood ashes, if used, should be mixed
with equal parts of dry soil, or when
uamp will be too caustic for the legs OF
the fowls. This dust bath should be
put IN shallow boxes, large enough for
TWO or three birds to roll in at once,
and set in the warmest, sunniest cor
ner of the house; it will need replenish-
Ing or renewing every week or two.
Dry Leaves for Litter.-NeXt to the
Dust bath for the health of the poultry
is the scratching pen; for birds to
thrive, they must have exercise. Fine
nay or straw or chaff is good, but we
nnd dry forest leaves a most excellent
and convenient litter for the entire
pen, and little grain thrown on this
litter will induce the birds to scratch
for dear life" AS often as once a week
this litter should be renewed and the
pens thoroughly cleansed Some poul-
try-keepers have several inches of dry
sand for the floor, which is all right
when new and fresh, but soon becomes
filthy, and is with great difficulty re-
newed in the winter. We prefer
tight board floor for the pen where
fowls are to spend most of their time
in winter.
Keep the Poultry House Free from
Lice.-It is our honest conviction that
nine-tenths of the cholera" and
dropping among poultry comes from
the presence of some form of lice,
which must be destroyed before there
can be any pleasure or profit in the
CAiCAGu business. vi the uduy ICLAC
dies frequent and thorough cleaning
comes first. Insecticides will avail lit
tie if filth is allowed to accumulate I'M
der the roosts and on the floor After
cleaning up spraying the floors ana
roosts with some of the many insectl-
cides is in order. After using most OF
this with varied success, we have tled
to the caustic potash, or concentrated
I've, as the most effective and cheapest
remedy. This is used in solutions
strong enough to bite the tongue, say
one pound to eight gallons of water.
This can be prepared by dissolving in
warm water as much as may be needed
at one time and reducing to the re-
quired strength. This can be applied
with broom, brush or spray pump to
reach every possible hiding place of the
lice. This also is a perfect renovator
of hidden filth, and the only cheap and
effective remedy for the worst of all,
the red mites or spider lice.

A. Short of No. 800 East Commercial
avenue has been selling musical instru-
ments and sewing machines in Ana
conda since 1887. During these IL years
Mr.. Short has built his business up
from the smallest beginning to it's pres
ent vast proportions.
At the present time Mr.. Short Is Of
fering greater inducements to pur-
chasers of musical instruments than
ever before. He has the sole agency
Baumeister piano, an instrument that
is unsurpassed in tone, construction.
and beauty of design. The Baumeister
promises to become a very popular
piano. number of expert pianists Of
Anaconda have tried the Baumeister
and they are unanimous in declaring it
a superior instrument. Nothing would
make a more acceptable Christmas
present than a Baumeister.
In paying for a Baumeister, pur-
chasers are not put to the annoyance
of receiving "duns" from the manu-
facturer, which is so often the case.
Mr.. Short carries also full and COM
plete line of the latest sheet music by
the best composers; the famous Stetson
guitars and mandolins; large line of
pianos, organs and an extensive va
riety of violins, zithers and accordeons.
Mr.. Shorts repair shop Is equipped
with all the latest appliances.
Mr. Short also has the agency for

He Makes Nobby Suits.

Heads above all competitors in his
line of business is Mr.. 7. V. LuXton, the
tailor, whose place of business is at
No. 500 East Park avenue. For six years
Mr.. Luxton has enjoyed the distinction
of being the leading tailor of Anaconda,
and it is not within the range of prob
ability that that title will ever be wrest-
ed from him. Mr.. Luxton's patronage
is of the highest class, and his par
ticular endeavor is the production of
wearing apparel of the highest order
Just at present Mr.. LuXton Is showing
some of the finest things in overcoat-
ings, winter suitings and dress suitings
that have ever been exhibited in Ana
conda. In Mr.. Luxton's workshop are
employed more men than are employed
by all of the other tailoring establish
ments of the city combined.
Every man desires to appear at his
best at the many social gatherings
which take place during t.le winter
months, and the best way to accom-
plish this is by the wearing of a nobby,
stylish suit, such as Mr.. Luxton stands
ready to furnish at short notice.
