BY STEAM.
The Only Absolutely Sure Way of
Keeping a Creamery in a Whole
some Condition.

A Canadian dairy instructor says:
[ am sorry to say that the creameries
of Canada are not being improved as
much as they should be, particularly
in the way of equipment and santa
ton. or in providing suitable store
rooms which can be held at a low tenn
perature for storing the butter in. A
great number of the summer creamer-
les are being run on the cream gather
ing system. This necessitates an
abundant supply of cold water which
is oftentimes allowed to run over the
floor, or in open cutters, and has a
tendency to keep the OOH damp and
prevent the churn and butter worker
from becoming dry, and the result is
hal they soon become foul smelling.
The remedy for this is to conduct the
water away in pipes, and also attach a
hose and a steampipe. After the
churn is thoroughly washed, close the
lid and insert the end of the hose in
the buttermilk outlet. and then steam
thoroughly for 30 minutes. The in
tense heat will destroy all germ life,
and leave the churn dry and clean.
This is also an excellent device for
steaming the butter worker and uten-
sils. and also the cans or tanks used
in drawing the cream.

HINT FOR LATE SLEEPERS.
A Black SILK Handkerchief Over IA
Eyes VIII Keep Out the Morn
ing Glare.

Here is a discovery: A thin, black
India silk handkerchief. tied over the
eyes, is the best remedy for the an
noyance of the early morning glare
to which IN their bedrooms most per-
sons are now subjected, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
This is an army trick. commonly
practiced on the plains and in camp
by those desiring to sleep after dawn,
but never before divulged TO the eff
fete easterner. Some officers scorn
this expedient. Others like it. and the
army woman resorts TO it always. 1t
often happens, however. that she does
not possess a black silH h%andker-
chief. in which case she pins a black
stocking over her eyes instead. And
frequently her husband is not above
begging the other stocking. This
solves the problem of shutting out the
light in a most simple and effectual
way.
But the army woman says there is
no reason why every woman living
in proximity to shops should not have
a black India silk handkerchief.
Blinds and awnings. in addition to
window shades. are all very well to
darken a room if they are on a house,
but frequently they are not. more
particularly in the country, where
they are needed. Then even in the
event of having these Injuries, in
hot weather many persons object to
using them because of the amount Of
air these things shut out from a
room.
Everyone knows in the migration
from town to country how annoying
the early morning light is to the city
bred. particularly the women who
DO not have to rise at the first crow
of the cock in order TO catch a train
to business. Those people who are
summering in hotels and boarding
houses commonly occupy rooms with
whitewashed or very light papered
walls. and this reflects the strong
light. which by four O'Clock these
bright mornings begins to turn the
light sleeper into a wakeful. restless
creature, who. if he OF she have
blinds. gets UP and closes them. but
is forced for lack of air to at least
leave the shutters open. whereby TOO
much light enters. And frequently
there is so little air that to bar out
any of il even by drawn blinds with
open shutters is out of the question.

BRIEF DAIRY NOTES.

Remember that the milk should be
cooled as promptly as possible after
it is drawn from the cow. Cool and
aerate thoroughly. in order to prevent
the milk from retaining unpleasant
odors.
Ice water will chill and kill as well
as fill the COW. and the thoroughly
chilled cow cannot Secrete milk free
ly. The dairyman who forces his
COWS to drink through a hole in the
ice in winter should not expect a good
flow of milk from the cows.
The milk cows should have album
dant supplies of water. Milk is IS
per cent. water, and that fact shows
how necessary water is to the cows.
Moreover. the very fact hat so much
water must be drunk by the cow
indicates that the water should not
be much below the temperature of
the cows body.
Artificial ponds are not liable to
contain pure water. Such ponds are
generally located in natural depres-
sions on the farm, and into such de-
pressions there is sure to be more
or less drainage of filthy water. If
the dairyman deems it necessary to
have such ponds, he should at least
fence them in, so that the stock can
not turn them into filthy wallows and
sources of diSease.-FaTmers' Voice.

NOTES FROM THE PARIS Ex-
POSITION.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit. To-
Gated in Group XIII, Class 10, at the
Paris international Exposition. where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
Is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
~ pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was ~fayorably commented upon by Wis
itors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by the
international Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
distinctionof absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
teTnational Jury at the Worlds CO.
luInbian Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received 81 distinct
awards. being more than Were re-
ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele-
brated Singer Machine. we would re-
spectfully advise that they call at any

Nutritiye Ratio i'm Food.

Cows give a trifie more milk when
receiving some succulent food. such
as roots and ensilage. but practically
the same amount of butter or other
milk solids. We select the cheapest
foods and so mix them hat the cow
gets about n pound of carbohy-
drates. If we should feed a much
wider ration, that is. one that CON
tanned more carbohydrates and car
bohydrate equivalent than the
amount stated, she would gradually
lay on fat. shrink in milk, and failure
to breed would probably follow; but
when the above mentioned nutritive
ratio is maintained. no such difficult
ties are encountered.-Prof. Hacker.

\ startling increase of lung diseases
in the British navy is reported. Since
1888 cases of this character have in
creased 60 per cent. IN spite of the fact.
It is pointed out. that masts and sails
have been entirely abolished and the
men are less exposed than before. Pos
sibly the increase is due to this very
reason. The men are less exposed in
the stee, ships and maybe, as a conse-
uuence. less hardy and more liable 10
