MILKING BY MACHINERY.
Thought and Ingenuity of
Dairy Engineers.

One of the reasons stated in the re-
ports from creameries as to the reason
of the decrease of the production of
milk was the fact that farm help that
should and could milk was so hard to
get; that farmers were reducing their
dairies, getting along with as little help
as possible, with only their own imme-
date family, and therefore the num-
Der of cows that were being MIXED is
gradually being lessened.
Within the past ten years there have
been devised and talked of through the
dairy press milking machines" That
any of these have been practical and
come into general use is not fact, but
that demand exists for a milking ma
chine that will do the work properly,
right and at a reasonable cost, is also
a fact that is believed by great many
interested in the dairy industry. There
is usually action among practical me-
chanics, that when the world needs
an improvement in machinery, some
inventor finds it out. Finds the way
to do it.
So with this great need of milk
ing machine to keep the dairy industry
in line, to increase the amount of milk,
that will be placed upon the market
whether in the shape of a raw product
or finished, we have faith that some
inventor will out of the many plans
that have been devised, perfect milk
ing machine and will do the work suf-
ficiently well to bring it into general
use.
Our dairy engineers may well take up
this problem and give it their thought
and attention, so that we may expect in
the future something in this line that
will be up to the needed requirements

NEW POLICE cATEcHIsM.
Requisites of a Competent Copper al
Understood by One of
the Finest.

Imagine class of about 40 stalwart men,
each dressed in blue uniform and attentive.
ly listening to the words of wisdom that
emanate from the teachers lips, and you viii
have some idea OF one Of Clerk OF the Police
Board Harrison's school classes. Many ridi-
culous answers are given to questions
and some of them cause roars of laugh
ter to ascend TO the ceiling. AT recent
class meeting Officer Dan Tehan was asked
TO describe the requisite of a good police
man. The answer was honesty, sobriety,
truthfulness, intelligence and several other
virtues, all of which are noticeable in men,
beers of the police force, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
After Tehan had been asked the ques.
ton he chested out and answered in
sonorous voice.
"Hon.isteel Sobrietee! Trootfulness!
GUIDE mor-ruls! lmpar.rtialitee intelli-
gince! A plain addrhriss-an'-er-um
oh! divil S own slew av things besoides"
roar followed the answer, and Clerk
Harrison. endeavorng to keep his face
straight, asked: "0ficer Blanchard, what
is extortion"
And the class broke up when Blanchard's
answer smote the air.

while the other is open to receive
grain or hay. For older calves that
are hitched in stalls the same plan
is useful. In this case the box in
front could be continuous, having di-
visions as shown in front of each stall,
with similar openings for the young
sters' heads. The calves could be tied
to stanchion behind the openings.
Such a plan permits leaving a pail of
water constantly before the calf, a
desirable feature in the care of young
stock, as they need to drink more
frequently than older animals.-N. Y,

Regarding Croker and his part in
New York politics, Farmers Voice
says: New York State will give the
Republican National ticket some
thing like 12O, 900 plurality. The
best Croker and his Tammany forces
could do wass to roll up a majority
of $1,000 below the Bronx for the
Democratic ticket, which was owe
whelmed by the upstate majority
for the Republicans of from $50. 900
t. $50, 900. One lasting good may
come from this result-it has shat
tered completely Cookers claims to
leadership in that State and has
shown his limitations even in the
stronghold of Tammany. From the
inception of the campaign, even
when he seemed to be working the
hardest for the ticket, there were
suspicious rumOrs of his true feel
ings toward Mr.. Bryan, and it is
we'll known that the latter is per
St-4UAAN OAoGuSGC1O W D14O 4dLlLlldul
chief. His whole interest appeared
@ Tic in defeating Hill, and for that
purpose he stood by Mr.. Bryan's de-
mand for free coinage expression at
Kansas City. Returning home, he
deliberately stirred up more animosi-
ties throughout the State and named
for Governor a man who did not rep
resent the Democratic view at all
and was obnoxious to the working
men. Whether he continued to be
diSlOyal to the last, or the result is
simply the manifestation of his real
weakness, the result must be the
same-his power is broken. And it
has been an evil power, just as boss
ism yer is, and if the party shall
now be freed from this incubus, it
may move IN to better things, With
him attached to it and boasring its
leadership, disaster must always be
the result.
