FINISHING TOUCHES.
They Distinguish the Work of the
Progressive Dairyman from That
of the COw-Keeper.

The scrupulous neatness shown in
the care of cows; the cleanliness OF
the stable and the milk vessels; the
practice of milking with clean, dry
hands and discarding the first streams
drawn from each teat; the removal OF
milk from the stable to a clean milk
room for weighing, straining and aera-
ton as soon as it is drawn; keep.
ing the milk at low temperature in
summer and preventing its freezing
in winter; careful delivery of the
milk or cream in fine condition at the
factory; careful attention to the com.
fort of the COW in summer as we'll as
in winter; to the quality, quantity
and composition of the cows feed
and the water supply; forethought
and preparation for an abundant sup
ply of pasture or soiling crops, such
as will keep up the milk flow sum-
mer and winter without interruption
during the entire period of lactation;
these are some of the finishing
touches which distinguish the work Of
the dairyman from that of a cow
keeper, the practice of the thorough
bred from that of the scrub dairy
man.
A well-kept horse and an attractive
wagon and harness; a neat, intelli-
gent and obliging deliveryman; shin
ing cans and measures; sterilized,
sweet-smelling, well-filled bottles,
with the INTELLIGENT cora of +ba ,,;u,
from COW to customer, are some of
the finishing touches that build up a
retail milk trade at paying prices,
and distinguish thoroughbred dairy
man from a scrub cow-keeper and
milk-peddler.
In every branch of dairy work, the
profit and satisfaction is realized from
careful attention to the finishing
touches.-Dairy and Creamery.

THEY HAVE HARD SERVICE.
Soldiers in the French Foreign Lee
EiOn Have Anything But an
Easy Time.

The French foreign legion, which Is
again the subject of Partisan political
gossip, offers about the hardest mill
itary service in the world, and no one
who knows enters it until he has ex-
hausted all other means of support or
wishes to bury himself, says London
paper. Men of all nations are in its
ranks, many of them hard characters,
criminals and jailbirds, and it is al
ways sent by France to do the dirty
work which that country naturally
does not choose to impose upon its own
children.
Thus it has held the frontiers of the
African colonies, where every now and
then post is cut to bits by wild Arab
tribe. The fever-infested portions Of
Cambodia and Indo-China, which Lodi
has described, have also been the scene
of its exploits. The discipline, too, is
most severe. Flogging is a daily occur
renee and capital punishment is the
result of the most trivial offenses.
Thus the cases of insanity in the legion
are of much larger number than in
any other branch of the French service.

One of the curiosities of architec-
ture in England is, according to the
Stone Trades journal, the house
erected about 300 years ago at Rusn-
ton, in Northamptonshire, by Sir
Thomas Tresham. a Roman Catholic
who wished by his design to typify
the Trinity. 1t is all threes; has
three sides, three stories, and three
windows on each fiat, each of them
in the shape of the trefoil-the three
leaved shamrock. Where the roofs
meet rises a three-sided pyramid,
terminating in large trefoil. The
smoke escapes from this chimney by
three round holes on each of the
three sides. The building is almost
covered with notices and carvings,
three Latin inscriptions, one on each
of the three sides, having thirtythree
letters in each. Three angles on
each side bear shields. Over the
door is the text from the Nulgate.
There are three that bear record
Inside the house each corner is cut off
from each of the three main rooms,
so that on every floor there are three
three-sided apartments. 1t is hard
ly necessary to add that the house
has ceased to be inhabited.

SUN WARDS IN HOSPITALS.
They Are Very Largely Instrumental
in Curing Many Patients
of Disease.

The theory that sunlight exerts .
powerfully healing influence upon dis
ease processes has now become so well
established that the sunroom is re-
garded as a necessity in a well-ap-
pointed hospital. In the plans of new
hospitals that aspire to be up to date
the solarium finds a prominent place,
and to keep up with the advances of
medical science many of the old hos
pitfalls are attaching solaria to their
buildings, says the Trained Nurse.
The sun ward is easily built. 1t
must be, of course, on the south side
of the building, having its eastern,
southern and western walls largely
constructed of glass. A good plan is
TO build a large bay window, with
metal frame work, and, if the hos
pital building is to be three or four
stories high, this bay window may ex-
tend to the full height of the main
structure. With this arrangement
each floor will have the advantages
of a sun ward.
The means of ventilation should be
perfect and the heating arrangements

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Great care should be had in driving
up cow.
A great many spoiled udders can
be traced to carelessness in driving
up.
Buttermilk is very beneficial in
many kinds of stomach troubles, and
is healthful for everyone.
Don't expect your mich COW to
furnish her quota of milk and butter
if she be left to hustle with the rest
of the stock. If she is to do her
best she must be fed regularly and
well, and must be protected from the
cold storms and sudden changes of
winter, Winter milking don't pay
unless the COW is well treated.
Dehorned cattle are more peace
able, easier to fatten, more content
ed, and can be cared for easier than
cattle with horns. While the opera
ton may be painful it is not as cruel
as allowing large cattle with horns
to harass the smaller animals. The
stock owner will save many times the
amount of money it will cost him to
have his animals dehorned, in feed
alone.-Farm Journal.

CHURNING BY WINDMILL POWER.
My drive wheel is a silent clutch
wheel, but those who have none can
use an old mower wheel, as illustrat-
ed, with a ratchet wheel on the shaft.
An old pinion would make a fair SUBJ
stitute for the ratchet. The catch
lever is boxed loosely to the shaft
and connected with the pumping rod
The speed can be changed by hav-
ing two or more holes in the lever
This device changes the reciprocal
motion into circular by means of old
castings which can be found on every
farm. 1t will not do to use a piston
on a windmill for such a purpose, as
it is liable to stop on the dead CEN

result would be to smash things I'M
less some one were there to start it
past the center. But with the ratchet
appliance it needs no watching The
churn always starts when the wind
moves the windmill. The upward
stroke alone does the work. The
momentum of the heavy iron wheel
keeps up motion during the down
stroke. There is no good excuse for
churning by hand and letting the
wind fly past.-E. c. Bennett, in Farm

TROUT ON TAP.
A Commercial Traveller who Got Into
the Fish Business In n Queer Way.

the Fish Business In n Queer Way.
In the days when the only means
of rapid communication with East
port was by steamboat from Port
land and st. John, n. B., Bert Bean,
commercial traveller, came here
from Boston and paid visit to Camp
obello island, which belongs to New
Brunswick, though only short dis
lance down the harbor, relates the
New York Sun. Bean had little
money, and liking the island he
bought a tract of land on top of the
hill. His purchase contained about
100 acres, in the middle of which was
a small pond in a hollow about 200
feet above tidewater, which washed
the shore less than rs rods away. As
the pond was fed by springs, Bean
had it stocked with trout, which were
caught in brooks on the main land
and brought over in pals. Then he
went away for four years. On his
return the pond was swarming with
fine trout. Though the place had
been fished by expert anglers, they
had never met with any luck, because
there were so many caddice worms
and other insects in the water that
the fish had no need for taking the
hook.
Bean consulted lawyer and found
that as his pond contained less than
ten acres it was his to hold and pro-
tect against all Corners He waited
few years longer and sent down
crew of men who bored a hole from
the shore through the bank facing
the ocean inserting a water main
in the opening. When he had put a
turn tap in the pipe so far inside the
hill that it would not freeze in win
ter he was ready TO supply fish 10
order. Orders were taken in Boston
and other large places for as many
trout as he could furnish. Then Bean
came to Campobello, turned the stop
cock, drew off the water and picked
up his fish as easily as he could kind,
lings. He always left enough to stock
the pond with young fry, after which
he closed the faucet and allowed the
springs to fill the pond for the grow
ing of more trout.

DEAD TO HER FAMILY.
HiSh-Caste HindOO Girl Who Was
Ostracised Because She Became
Christian,

A young Hindoo girl, convert to
ton during the past few weeks. Her
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which is
shortened to Sooboo for purposes Of
friendly conversation, says an eastern
contemporary.
Sooboo is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to a
high-caste family-a caste deemed SUI
perior in India to ordinary mortal as
ISOLATION. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
aristocratic home to the mission and
said she had become a Christian. In
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate father
cane to the mission and threatened to
put Sooboo's new friends in Jail for kid
MAPPING. The girl was produced and
elected to stay where she was. The
father went away uttering the final
word, "Outcast!" which is a sentence
of death"
But soon the broken hearted mother,
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination,
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re-
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and had loved her The girl
declared her love for her mother, but
refused to go back. Then came fu-
neral services, as of one dead The
mother, called "accursed" because of
her visit 20 the mission, could not be
present, but walked 1000 miles to the
river Gauges and held mourning serv-
ice there. Then she came home and
walled up the door of Sooboo's room.

UNIQUE SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Water Company Asked to Pay Be-
cause 1t Could Not Extin-
guish n Fire,

A lawsuit, unique in the jurispru-
now on trial at Ukiah. The city of
Ukiah, says a San Francisco exchange,
has sued the local waterworks COM
pany for loss of $570.75 by reason of
a fire which could not be eXtinguished
because there was no water in the
hydrants. The waterworks system
of the place consists of pumping
plant on the bank of the Russian
river, by which the water is raised to
a reservoir on the side of the noun
tain, from which it is distributed by
natural pressure. Fire hydrants are
located at all the prominent corners.
On the night of the fire in question
the agent of the water company had
shut off the water in order to stop
the practice of iryigating private
lawns in the night time. By reason
of this man had to run a half mile
to the reservoir to turn on the water,
The delay was fatal, as the block in
which the fire originated was almost
completely destroyed. Then the city
made demand upon the company
for the loss sustained by the city
property. The demand was refused
on the ground that the water COM
pany is not an insurer against fire.
The prosecution holds, however, that
dnder the terms of it's franchise the
water company is bound to maintain
at all times sufficient pressure of wa
ter for all purposes, of course includ-
ing the extinguishment of confagra-
tons. Should the city win the case
all the other losers by the same fire
will have a cause of action.

Vermont Plants.

Some interesting statistics OF Ver-
mont plants are sent us from the YER
mont experiment station. These ng-
ures are taken In part from the new
Flora OF the state, published by the
vermont Botanical Club. According
TO this publication there are now 1868
species OF ferns and Towering plants
known to occur uncultivated in YER
mont. or these. rs species are trees,
including IL species Of oak, kinds
OF maple, 6 poplars. pines and 4
birches. These are mostly useful; but
there are 80 species of weeds, some
OF which are pernicious and promis-
Ing trouble. Out of the present CEN
sus OF 1868 species, go have moved
into the state since the country was
settled. Many of them have come
mixed with agricultural seeds, or have
been introduced directly or indirectly
by artificial means. A large proper
ton OF these newcomers are like our
American population. importations
from Europe; and only a minority of
90 or less have come to Vermont from
other states or from Canada. 1t is in
teresting to notice how the number OF
known species has increased in recent
years. When the first list OF Vermont
plants was published by Cakes in 1912,
there were 929 species known. Tor
rey's list of 1853 gave 1904; and Per-
kins' list of 1888 gave 1850. In each
case some plants were included by mis-
take, so the increase since 1888 is more
than the difference between 1868 and
1860. Most Of the additions are of
species which have doubtless been here
all the while but have only recently
been discovered.
