MILKING BY MACHINERY.
A Problem That May Well Engage the
Thought and Ingenuity OF
Dairy Engiheers.

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 thatfarm 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 milking ma.
chine that will do the work properly,
right and at a reasonable cost, is also
a fact that is believed by a 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 a 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 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 sui
ficiently we'll 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.

An ingenious theory for the cStima-
ton of the time of the various geo
logical periods has been propoundpd bv
an engineer whose work on western
railroads takes him into primitive
country. lie says that in one great de
preston in Wyoming the trees have
been recording the rate of erosion Of
the slopes for about 80 years so accu-
mtcly that the data to be obtained by
careful study of them will be fac
tor of extreme importance in enabling
scientists To convert geological time
into years. While he has not yet had
time to collect those data properly, he
makes the rough deduction that, ac-
cordinG to their records the pliocrne
and ElciStOCpnc periods would repre-
sent about l,50O,OOO years. ana that,
on this basis. the ccniZOic time would
be about 4.000,OOO years. This would
mean that all geological time from the
beginning of the Cambrian epoch
would be Gi,UJO,UOO years.

HOW TO AVOID LOCKJAW.
Causcs of the Dread Tctnnus and the
Best Treatment.

Best Treatment.
The tctanuS bacillus distillS n poison
so terrible that the venom of rattle
snake is nectar compared with it. one
grain will kill 300 men.
These death dealing creatures love a
hot, damp climate. Any grain of sand.
any tin can or rusty nail or scrap of
neat or broken clam shell may have a
rcOre of them clinging to it.
These are precisely the conditions Of
our American beach rCSOrtS-thc moist
warm air. the beach too often strcwn
with rubbish and in any case Uttered
with broken shells and with bits of
wrcckage from which broken nails
protrudc.
1t is strange that the most deadly
work of the germ is d07e N late spring
md early autumn. Fifty per cent of the
deaths from tetanus are due to wounds
on feet or hands.
After the bacillus has entered the
wound from , to II days may clapSc.
The bacilli do not themselves pass into
the system. They remain in the wound.
but generate a poison which does the
work.
In most cases there are preliminary
symptoms similar to those of an ap-
preaching coda dull ache located be-
fore the ear. followed by stiffness in the
muscles of the lower jaw. There is
growing difficulty in opening the
mouth, and attempts to swallow cNag-
Gcrate the symptom. The jaws then
become locked. and the disease passes
downward to the rest of the body.
In the open air the bacillus rcmains
inactive. 1t is only when it enters
more deeply and gets away from the
air that 1t becomes dangerous. 1t may
be rendered harmless by cleansing the
wound with mixture of one part car
bolic acid in % of water. AftcrWard
the wound should be filed with tine
ture of iodine.
If the wound should be n deep one,
caused, for instance, by Il nail, or if it
should he n lacerated wound, caused,
for example, by gunpowder, or a crush
ed wound. as with a hammer, the Opcr
alton of cleansing may be a difficult
matter, and n physician should be call
cd in, who may inject antitoXin.

minishing the coloring matter. The
stain should be rubbed into the wood,

REJUVENATING BOOKS.
Row to Restore Gloss to Bindings
Removing Ink and Grease.

One cardinal rule to keep i'll mind is
never to try experiments with valuable
works. Try new methods of rcstora-
zion on comparatively worthless books.
For book bindings which have lost
their gloss preparation is made as
follows: Take powdered gum copal,
ndd to it oil of rosemary sufficient to
form Il solution. Pour off the supcrlu-
Gus liquid and mix the remainder with
sufficient alcohol to dissolve it we'll In
making take only enough oil to cover
the copal and of alcohol about eight
parts to the whole.

with Il finely pulve7.4cd mixture of

moistcn it first with little water.

possible to n grease spot without dis

morning there was no trace of oil, but
only an odor. which soon vanished.
When book IS dOGcarcd or its leaves

Curious Origin of FIaVOrs.

Among the most remarkable Glimpses
into hidden corners of nature that recent
scientific advance has afforded are the
frequent discoveries of micro organisms
in unexpected places. where they pro-
duce phenomena heretofore supposed to
arise from other causes. For instance,
DR.. A. Petersen of Upsala, Sweden, has
nsccrtaincd that in preparations of meat
and fish containing, for purposes of pres
crvation, salt to the amount of II per
cent micro organisms grow luXuriantly,
and he concludes that the ilavors and
odors that are peculiar to various salt
ccnscrvcs are due to the micro organisms
with which they are crowded.
