the age of about 80 years. The burial

family lot in Athens. The lemains

She is also survived by her eldest sou,
Fred w. Cole, also of Boston, who at

but did not come to Athens.
Words fail me as | try to paw trib-
ute of praise to this dear departed one.
She came to Athens from Massachusetts
in her young womanho0d as the wife of
Mr.. Alvah Cole, going to his home and
caring for his aging parents with the de-
votion of daughter. Indeed, she was
faithful 10 all the walks of life, having a
pleasant word and sweet smile for all
She was a member of the Athens Baptist
Church and devoted to ierfeligion. hich
was "Do unto others as ye would have
them do TO you" In all cases. Heaven
was a reality to her and she always ex-
pressed pleasure and joyful anticipation
when conversing upon death. Verify
she has gone to her reward. Friends in
Boston and other places showed their
respect for the family by sending costly
flowers In great profusion.

ROPY MILK AND CREAM.

its Nature, Most Common Cause and
Measures For Prevention.
Ropy milk or cream is Objectionable
on account Of It's unwholesome appear
ance rather than because of any known
harmful effect caused by its consump-
ton. The Shiny, yiscid condition of
the milk Is exceedingly disgusting to
the consumer, and its occurrence con-
stitutes serious menace to the success
of milk route. This fault in milk Is
one of financial rather than of hygienic
Importance.
Much of the adherence of ropy milk
Is induced by the mistaken belief that
1t is in some way caused by a disease
of the cows udder commonly called
garget The udder of COW affected
with garget may contain a yellowlsh.
thick. viscid purulent liquid, which is
obviously unwholesome at the time 1t
is drawn from the udder. Unfortu-
nately farmers frequently speak OF
this unwholesome fluid as 'ropy' or
"stringy" milk. The milk fault refer
red to in bulletin by Professor A. Il.
Ward OF the Cornell N. " station is
entirely different and bears no relation
to the health of the cow
The kind of ropiness occurring In
milk from a healthy udder appears on
~ after the milk has been drawn from
the COW at least twelve hours. Profess
or Ward arrives at the following con-
illusions in regard to 1t.
Ropy milk contains bacteria that are
responsible for its viscid condition.
These bacteria live naturally in water.
Measures for the prevention of the
trouble must be directed toward pre-
venting the bacteria from getting into
milk. Following are some of the more
important measures that should be
taken to stop the trouble and to pre-
vent It's recurrence.
After milking at night the milk pals
and strainer cloth should be washed
and scalded before using in the morn
ing. or a second set thoroughly clean
and scalded should be used In the
morning. The practice of merely rims
ing pals and strainers In cold water at
the barn at night offers an opportunity
for the introduction of the bacteria
into milk directly from the water.
If the cows wade In mud and smear
the udders with dirt and filth, put a
stop to it. BY this means many objec-
tionable bacteria get into milk by fall
ing into the milk pail.
The floors of all rooms where ropy
milk has been kept should be disinfect-
ed with a mixture of FIVE parts of
crude sulphuric acid to ninety-fve
parts OF water.
All milk utensils should be scalded
most thoroughly daily. Never let cold
water come in contact with utensils
unless they are scalded before using
for milk again.
Exercise the greatest care to prevent
even a drop of water from the cooling
tank getting into the milk. That oc-
currence Is probably the most common
cause of trouble from ropy milk. IL
water must spatter about, the cans
standing in Ice water should be COW
cred.
Utensils after washing and scalding
should stand upside down to prevent
the accumulation of dust on the inside.

Des Moines, NOV. additional I'M
official returns from Iowa counties
do not change the result of the state
ticket as announced yesterday. Mr..
Cummins has an apparent plurality
of $4,000 or little less.
Corrected returns from the differ
ent counties, with the exception of
Keokuk and plymouth, have been re-
ceiyed. They show some changes in
the legislative results from those at
first announced, the democrats max
ing better showing in several rep
resentative contests than they had
been given credit for.
The next general assembly will
contain a total of 122 republicans and
% democrats. This will be the
strength on joint ballot. The senate
will stand 80 republicans to IL demo-
Gratis.
In the house the democrats in 1899
elected 10 members and the republic
cans 81. This year the republicans
have elected SO and the democrats II.
The democrats elected their repre-
sentative candidates in Tama, Buch-
anan, Ida-Monona, Keokuk, Union
and Shelby counties. carroll also
elected a democrat. The republicans
elected representatives in Crawford,
Davis Harrison, Plymouth, Muscatine
and Clayton counties, one in Scott
and one in Dubuque, and the candi-
date in the Lyon-O'Brien district.
The democrats thus elected seven
men in counties formerly republican,
while the republicans more than
turned the tables by capturing nine
representatives in districts formerly
democratic. The republican net gain
was two.
