MIXERS AND MILKING.
Six Cows to One Man Is About the
Right Proportion for the Aver
age Farm EmPloye-

There seems TO be 4 great deal OF
discussion among the farmers in differ
ent localities nowadays in regard TO
the subject Of good mixers. The re-
mark that il Is now almost impossible
10 find good mixers is quite frequent
" heard among dairymen. This is
great mistake, says q writer in Rural
New Yorker. thoroughly believe that
there are just as good mixers in this
and other localities as there ever were.
If not better.
The farmer who depends OF day
hands for his help. as a general rule
is the one who complains most bitterly
in regard TO this matter The average
man who is hired by the day viii not
milk even if he can Wherever or when
ever l find a good month hand, one who
stays on the farm continually, one who
is not constantly listening for the
sound of the six o'clock whistle. one
who does not go to town every night,
! find a good mixer.
4 cow should be MIXED as quickly
as possible. 4 good milker can milk -
COWS an hour. The muscles of the fore
arm, wrist and hands of good milker
must be well developed; therefore, as
rule, women are poor mixers. They
require too much time 10 milk a COW.
The evil resulting from this practice
is that the cows do not readily give
down their milk. Some farmers ex-
pect a man TO do too much of this work.
The number of cows that a man miIks
should depend on the amount and na-
ture of other labor that he performs
As rule, Go not believe that a man
should be allowed 10 milk more thar

pearance al the hospital the other day.
Entering the operating room with as
great unconcern as If it was South
Water street beer dispensary and ac-
costing one of the attendants, he re-
marked:
IF dere's any o you wild time On yer
hans I'd like you to take reef in this
cut in me head
The surgeons guided Gilbert to an
operating table and one of them took
bandage from the freman's head and
looked at the cut II was as deep as
it could be and extended about three
inches along his brow, over the left
eye
How'd you get fhis?" he was asked.

The cut was washed and the stitch

It'll hurt some, said one of the sur
geons. Can you stand IT
Can I what? Well, any time can't
stand little kiddin' like this You write
to the president about it. Win you do
that?@
The surgeons smiled, knowing well
that a liberal amount Of pain would
Gilbert looked disgusted.
Two stitches had been put in the cut
and about five remained to be put in.
Gilbert had not even WINGED.
Doesn't hurt at all, does il? - asked
one OF the surgeons, sarcastically.

'-Oh, some time

Again the surgeons smiled. Gilbert
closed his eyes and the needle pricked
through one side of the cash and picked
mp the laeerated flesh on the opposite
side The average person would have
whImpered at that Gilbert was per-
fectly quiet The doctor paused a few
moments later and noted that Gilbert
was breathing regularly. The stitch
ing went on. the wound was washed
and a bandage was put over il. Still
Gilbert was quiet.
That a man could fall fast asleep DUR
ing so painful an operation seemed in
credible. So the surgeons concluded
TO let Gilbert have his way Having
nothing else TO do just then. they
watched the fireman. firing Of that

PRACTICAL DAIRY HINTS.

Keep the cow warm and dry.
Milk with clean, dry hands as quick

Feed clean. bright food in variety to
produce good results
Keep the COW clean by using plenty
of clean, bright bedding.
Do not allow a COW TO drink water

Own and milk good cows. If YOU
have poor cows send them to ths
butcher.
Treat COWS quietly and kindly: ex
citement affects the quantity and quail
itv of milk.
Never use or sell milk from diseased
or unhealthy cows 1t is dangerous
even to feed II to the pigs.

Upon all those who are ambitious to

tongue into lustrous kindness, purity
and refinement, writes Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills. d. D.. of THE Diffusion
of Happiness Through Conversation,
Not by spasmCdic efforts. not with oc-
casional hints and words of good ceher,
are men to use the tongue in the in Jer-
ests Of happiness. The daily drill of
the tongue as an instrument of happi-

fundamental conception of living. Nor
is this law binding only upon those

On high festal days in Athens, when
