Rats AHict Stockholm.

Stockholm and it's environs are suf-
fering from plague of rats, which, if
it is not checked. may later lead to
plague of disease The evil has gone
on unheeded for years, and now the
pests are so numerous that people are
crying out for energetic measures. The
rats career about the city toward even
ing, and may be seen romping even in
crowded thoroughfares, so bold have
they become owing to the laxity of
the authorities. Not a house in the
town is free from the pest. and serious
damage is being done to foundations.
1t is proposed to offer premium for
each rat destroyed. after the policy
adopted by the Copenhagen corpora

"Mfrace" at Bologna.

At Bologna the other day a bell
ringer had a most trying experience.
While ringing the bells in the campa-
nile of church he was struck by a
great bell in its swing and hurled out
Of the window of the tower. Fortu-
nately he alighted in sitting posi-
tion on the roof Of the church. some
fifty feet below, and, though stunned,
was otherwise uninjured. Slowly re-
covering, he was able to descend with
out mishap. and the crowd Who had
seen his involuntary flight now rent
the air with enthusiastic cries of "a
miracle! A miracle!"

Outlook for Cattle Prices.

For many years to come the prices
OF cattle must be good. especially TO.
the better class OF meat. The recent
depression had the effect of checking
the breeding of cattle of all kinds and
the number of cattle In the country fell
steadily for number OF years. The
result of that curtailment of the cat
tie supply is that the base on which to
produce the vast numbers now annu-
ally required la restricted. There is
another factor that enters very large
ly into the solution Of the problem and
that is that thu people are demanding
more than ever finer quality OF beef.
There was probable never a time when
the difference between the poorest and
pest meats ia the markets was SC
great as 1t is today. So it comes about
that in the city of Chicago one can get
porterhouse steak at % cents a pound
or at II cents pound, and at all
prices between the two. The quality
OF the steaks varies, of course, accord
ing to the prices. except when poor
meat is dishonesty palmed off on the
customer Tor hlgh-quality meat. The
difference in prices indicates that the
high-quality meats are in great de-
mand. These high-quaity meats come
from pure-bred and grade stock. The
increasing prices for the high-quality
meats indicate that the money in the
future for cattle raisers Is in well-bred
animals. Most assuredly that man that
is doing bis best to grade up his herd
OF cattla is paving the way for good
money returns in the future. The
experience OF the past few years, when
men rushed out of the business OF
breeding good cattle because there was
temporary fall in the values, should
teach men today that the course of
wisdom lies in steadily improving the
quality OF their cattle,

STERILIZATION OF MILK.

Qualities of the FluI,

A Process Which Lessons Nourlshing
Qualities of the Fluid.
After all that has been written and
preached about the necessity Of ster.
ilizing milk for the use of infants, n
those in care of them would do their
full duty the medical specialists in
the care Of children are now of the
opinion that sterilization lessons the
nourishing qualities of milk, and rem
ders it more difficult of digestion.
The latest teaching on this import
ant topic in the best medical circles is
that milk must of necessity be steril-
lied for safety's sake il it has been
exposed to harmful germs. but that it
b altogether preferable to prepare in
tants' food with unsterilized milk II
good and chemically clean milk can
be had. This means that pains should
be taken to get milk from healthy
cows that have been MIXED in a clean
ly manner, the milk being kept there
after till ready for use in clean vessels,
closely covered.
1t is easier now for those who can
cally pure milk in large cities than in
most country places. A large number
OF people now make business Of TAX
ing care of cows than many human
beings receive, milking them with the
utmost sanitary precautions, and con-
veying the milk to those who demand
chemically clean milk for infants and
invalids.
On the farm the housewife usually
takes pains to scald the milk recep-
tacles, but in the majority Of cases
the milking is done by hired man"
who has never been taught, and does
not know that a mixer should have
clean hands. 1t would be easily pos
sible to insist that one who milks
should wash his hands thoroughly just
before milking. If there is not regu-
lar dairy for the milk, special place
should be petitioned off to hold 1t
when sitting in the pans: this place
should be screened from flies, which
carry typhoid contagion, and nothing
but milk should be kept there, so that
odors Of fruits and vegetables and all
dust shall be kept from the milk and
cream
Milk intended for infants should be
put as soon as milked into glass bot
ties, that, after being cleaned, have
been rinsed in boiling water and turn
ed upside down to drain upon scald-
ed dish. The bottles should then be
covered closely with stopper of cot
ton batting, or. If for transportation,
the bottles should have liquid tight
cap; this, if of metal, should be kept
from touching the milk with one of
the patent paper caps, that can be dip
ped into boiling water without injury
