Gus. Some of them ny like dust in the
air. Il Is very easy for 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

to grow. BY the time it has reached
the city customers the milk contains
thousands of germs and these are dis

keeping out the germs, steaming being
required to make them absolutely safe.
AS most people are not In reach of an
apparatus for steaming. the next best
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 1t would be better

farmers feel too poor to make SO great
sacrifice. Unless the sacrifice is to
be made, extraordinary precautions
should be taken.

A New York journal has interviewed
members of congress on the current re-
port that an effort would be made at
the approaching session to repeal or to
amend what is known as the Sherman
antitrust law. The replies, as far as
received, indicate no intention upon
the part of the lawmakers to repeal
the Sherman law or to offer any
amendment thereto In the interests OF
trusts; the expressed purpose is, IL any
changes are made, to render the law
stronger. One trouble In this country

Getting Rid of Laying Workers.

IN late issue OF the American Bee
Journal Edwin Bevins claims to have
discovered two alternative ways in
which layinz-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 1t 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 a queen from
the brood, IL the old queen is left I'm
the lower hive; or 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 hiv.
and placing them In another hive over
q strong colony, with frame having
wire-cloth nailed to both sides of II
between the two hives. Then fertile
queen and her escort are released on
the two combs, and in a few days
there will be 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 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 harmonl-
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
filled by the frames remaining unused
In the laying-worker hive.

England is being driven out OF the
market Of Central Asia by Russia, ac-
cording to French magazine The
article referred to Is summarized in
part as follows: A marked increase
is noted in the commerce of British
India with Khorassan. In 1867 the
value of the English exports from
$437 600, less than half that of the pre-
ceding year. This condition of affairs
is explained as follows. The customs
regulations in force along the whole
extent of the transcaspian frontier
prohibit the entrance of European and
British-India goods to the markets
of Central Asia, with the exception of
tea, muslin, indigo. spices, Indian
shoes, precious stones and coral, and
these articles are subject to high du-
ties. Russia has succeeded In having
these articles exported by way of
Batum, thus aiding the Trans-caspian
railway. The government OF the car
is trying to monopolize the commerce
of Eastern and Southern Persia. Sub
sides are granted to traders, good
roads have been made in the transcas-
plan territory, consular agents are in
stalled in several districts OF Khoras-
san, and the emigration OF Russian
merchants to different parts OF the
province is encouraged. The Russian
merchants have penetrated almost to
the frontiers OF India, SO that where
the English should be masters OF the
markets, mostly Russian goods are
sold. The Russian government is also
paying Russian manufacturers bouu-
ties 80 large that the goods can be
placed on the Central Asia market at
cost Of manufacture, thus driving out
goods made in India. The building
by Russia Of the Trans-caspian rail-
way has given that country an i'm
mense advantage.

Again we call attention of our read
ers to the use OF preservatives in milk

warning, which should be needed and
acted upon. Every farmer should make

preservatives is discouraged. Every

laws should be made to prohibit the

From Farmers Review. Dust for

all land fowls depend on their daily
dust bath as preventive of insect
parasites, and as the winter closes up
the outdoor and under the barn dust
Ing places, some provision should be
made on every farm, and within every
poultry house. for this source OF health
and comfort. The prudent poultry
keeper will have stored up from the dry
road track a good lot of the summer
material for this purpose. II this pro-
vision has not been made then sifted
coal ashes are an excellent substitute.
Wood ashes, II used, should be mixed
with equal parts of dry soil, or when

this litter should be renewed and the

tight board floor for the pen where
fowls are to spend most of their time
