TESTING DAIRY COWS.
Even when Done But Two or Three
Times Year IL Gives Fair
Basis to Work Upon.

With the average dairyman there
are two reasons why he does not test
his COWS. First, it is too much trou-
BILE: second, it costs too much, or at
least this is the way they generally
look at the matter. / do not think
it a difficult matter to convince a man
of ordinary intelligence that it is
neither very much trouble nor an eX-
pensive job.
TO get a good average test from a
dairy or from a single COW, a sample
should be taken from each milking for
five to seven days. 1t is necessary to
take only small amount of milk from
each mess, and care should be taken
to have the milk thoroughly mixed be-
fore taking the sample. This sample
should be kept sweet, either by use
of ice or little preservative of some
kind. The trouble OF taking this sam
pie would probably occupy about one
minute of your valuable time morn
ing and evening. OF course, the work
of testing takes a little more time,
but for the average farmer it is not
necessary to take samples and test
very often. Twice or three times a
year will give a fair basis to work on.
Of course a monthly test would be
more accurate and reliable.
To get at the matter correctly, the
milk fr2m eachcOw should be weighed

SYSTEM IN DAIRYING.
rhe Man Who Doesn't Know just
What His Cows Are Doing La mt
Great Disadvantage.

Every business industry that pays
must have system in it, and none need
system more than the dairy industry
Following the pursuit successfully one
must know what his COWS are doing,
whether they are kept at a loss or
profit. A dairyman gives his record
keeping methods in the Country Cen
tleman, which we quote, referring to
his Jersey herd of 1877 cows. He says
the plan is to bring the herd up to 300
pounds of butter per year for each
cow, and wedding out all that do not
reach this standard. He says: MY
plan is to test the cows the last week
of the first month in the quarter. l
added two tests together and divided
it by two TO get the average for the
quarter; this gives the butter fat,
which is entered in a column for that
purpose. Then in the last column
add 20 per cent. to the butter fat to
get the pounds of butter each cow
produces in the quarter; this gives me
the pounds of milk, butter fat and
butter for the quarter according to
the calculation made.

pages for each cow. The left hand

A PANIC AMONG LIONS.
Monarchs of the Forest Frigh'ehe"
by Hunters Initiating the Cry
of Wolves.

NJ Foa. the French explorer, says
bo4 lions have a wholesome fear OF

and do not scruple to attack even the
hon. There are terrible battles, II
which the lion succumbs to mum bersr
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves NJ. Foa tells a
story from his own experience says the
Detroit Free Press.
It was a very dark night, so DARK
that trees could not be distinguished
until the travellers were close upon
them. Lions prowled about the party
one of them roaring from point SC
close as to have an alarming effect on
tbe nerves. The animals could not be
seen. but they could be heard on al
sides.
Reaching a tree, the men found one
of their comrades. with rifle cooked
peering into the darkness. trying tC
discover the whereabouts of the ami
mails. which could be plainly heart
walking among the leaves. 4 SECOND
AN was trying to relight halt-eNlln
ruished torch. Still the lions could b'
heard coming and going in the dark
ness.
At this point the native servantwhis
pered the advice to initiate the cry o
wolves in the distance. The party a
once began barking and crying "Hu
hu! hui" in an undertone as if the pacl
we're still in the distance, while tn
man at the camp made the same well
Initiated cry.
The effect was instantaneous. Their
was the sound of a rapid stamped
across the dry leaves. The lions de
c2mped in panic. driven off by the sup
posed approach of a pack of wolves
For the rest of the night the party wa
undisturbed.

~ done by having the scales placed

Some men might say that this is too
much work and takes up too much
time, but in the dairies belonging to
these men will be found cows that are
eating up all they make, and nearly
all the profits of the rest of the herd
also. Testing outfits that will answer
every purpose can be purchased for
SO, but should you not want to invest
in a tester, weigh the milk carefully
and at the end of two months take a
sample and have test made.-V. NJ

THE CHILD'S EYES.
Trivial Affections which Maybe May
Lead to Permanent Impair
ment of the Vision.

Nowhere is the comparison between
IN ounce of prevention and pound
If cure more applicable than in the
care of the eyes; for the neglect OF
seemingly trivial affections, perfectly
durable in their beginnings, may lead
in an incredibly short time to perma-
nent impairment of vision, or even to
total blindness.
The care of the eyes should begin
with the moment of birth. The new
babys eyes should be the first part to
receive attention. They should be wiped
carefully with piece of absorbent cot
ton wet with a warm solution of boric
acid, of strength of about 60 grains
in four ounces of distilled water. After
the lids have been thus carefully
washed on the outside, they should be
gently separated and some of the So
luton dropped into the eyes, says
Youths Companion.
In washing the eyes one should be
careful never to dip again in the solu-
ton piece of cotton which has once
been used; a fresh piece must be taken
each time the eyes are wiped.
The baby's eyes must be protected
from the light; its crib must be placed
where the eyes are not exposed to the
full light from a window, and the car
Yiage should have a shade raised only
about a foot above the baby's head.
Children often suffer from infam-
nation of the edges of the lids, which
are red and scaly, and the lashes fall
out and break off. This may betoken
general scrofulous condition, or it may
depend upon some defect in the sight
which causes eye-strain, or it may be
only local trouble. If it is only To-
cal trouble, few applications Of boric
acid ointment at bedtime will general
ly effect a cure.
Coniunctivitis. or inflammation Of
the membrane covering the globe Of
the eye, may be due to cold, to the ac-
tion of bright sunlight or reflection
from water or from snow, or to eye
strain from some visual imperfection.
Usually lie boric acid solution will give
relief here, even when the trouble can
noC be permanently cured, until prop
err glasses are worn.
Another painful consequence of eye
strain is succession of sites. When
child suffers frequently from sites,
from sore lids or from conjunctiyitis,
the sight should be tested.
Much harm is often done to the eyes,
as well as to the general health, by too
! long application to books, either school
or story books. Three hours of look
ing at print by daylight and one hour
in the evening should not be exceeded
by any child under IA, for that is as
much as his eyes, even if their vision
is perfectly normal, will stand without
injury.
