MILKING BY MACHINERY.
A Problem That May Well Engage the
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 milking ma
chine that will do the work properly,
right and at a reasonable cost, is also
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 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 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 we'll 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.

Rabbit-warren in a Church.

One of the most tumble-down, ruin
Gus churches in the country is that
Of Huntington, a tiny village in Wor-
cestershire. 1t has long been neg
lected, and is in miserable state.
The walls are mostly out of the up
right, the flooring is much decayed
and in some places quite gone, while
in the south nave wall at the present
time there is actually rabbit-war-
rem. 1t is said that many genera
tions of rabbits have been reared in
the church walls. An effort is now
being made to obtain funds to put the
building into proper condition of
repair.-The Antiquary.

Importance of Cleanliness.

Taints are too often the cause of
low quality in butter and cheese. If a
creamery CT cheese factory have in
it's vicinity open bitches containing
stagnant water, the breezes and the
flies will bring into the product of
such place enough of the odor of the
stagnant water to greatly deteriorate
the quality of the goods being, made.
Then, too, perhaps taints are blown
from further distance than we are
won't to believe; our nostrils may not
be acute enough to tell us of all that
come in at the factory windows. Filth
organisms are great consumers of our
profits, and they must be met at the
frontier and kept out of the domains
of the cheese maker and the butter
maker.-Farmers' Review.

Proper Care of Flower Beds.

The plants in flower beds are usually
too thick in the plats. 1t will be found
of advantage to give each plant plenty
of room, and when the lawn is moved
the short, dry grass may be used for
the purpose of mulching the flower
plants. Give sweet peas wire netting
on which to climb. Pansies will thrive
we'll in the sun, contrary to the claim
that they must be grown in shady
place. All manure for flowers must be
fine and decomposed. What is known
as compost is better. Some plants will
be destroyed if fresh manure u used
around them

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 d.
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 plan permits leaving 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.

Birds as insect Destroyers.

The spraying of plants destroys not
only injurious insects, but also the
parasites that prey upon the insects.
with the effect of diminishing the num-
Der of parasites which perform excel
lent service. Those who destroy the
birds are largely responsible for this
condition of affairs, for as the birds be-
come fewer the farmers work of de-
struetion becomes more difficult.

The ONE WHO STAYS At HOME

,r
The family grows; and some must go,
Far from the sheltering roof,
s Where high suns burn, or cold winds blow,
:, To hold the foe aloof.
But while the many forward run,
And great ships go and come,
Ye let US. sometimes think Of one
The one who stays at home.
Stout hearts have they who cross the seas
And distant perils face.
Who wish to 'scape from deadening ease,
4 Or scale to higher place.
But valiant, too, is he whose heart,
Like theirs, would breast the foam,
Yet at the old hearth keeps his part
The one who stays at home.
New countries have great fields to reap,
Need young and vigorous brain:
But Motherland some sons must keep,
To sow and bind her grain.
The old folks, too, need some one there
They can no farther roam
OF all the flock there's one to spare
The one who stays at home.

the camera, and he grinnedt sar-

clicked and one more film WAS added

last week, and in the evening he
brought home an armful of gear and
chemicals wherewith to transform the
bathroom into Photographic dark
room. He spent four hours rigging up
his apparatus, and then, with an ex-
preston of intense amusement on his
features, he took the camera and dis
appeared within the darkroom to de-
velop the films. Two minutes later
Mrs. Jobson heard torrent of re-
marks such as she had read of in con-
nection with pirates and the army in
Flanders, and Mr.. Jobson burst out Of
the bathroom with his hair tousled
and an expression of deep wrath.
