TKkAr rnE COWS WELL.
Subservient to Any Other Work
On the Farn,

When we talk about preserving tho
quality Of milk in hot weather we must
remember that some milk keeps bet
ter than others. mean by this that
there are different grades of resistance
to the action of degenerative bacteria,
and that some milk will keep sweet
and pure longer than other kinds un-
der the same conditions. How Is this
to be accounted for? one would nat.
urally ask. First, the healthfulness
and vigor of the cow in a great meas.
ure warrant the healthfulness and pur-
ity Of her milk, as does also the char
acter Of the food she eats. Pure,
healthy milk will not sour or taint pre-.
maturely unless under the most adj
verse atmospheric conditions. One
frequent cause of a rapid >degenerative
change in milk in hot weather, a cause
that is too often overlooked, is the
overheating Of cows prior to milking
TO rush cows into the stable from the
pasture night or morning is toex.
cite them sufficiently physically to
heat their milk to feverish
point, quickly undermining itsqual-
ity. So in order to preserve milk
in hot weather, aeration, ice and
cold water are a mockny unless
the cows are kept cool and free from
irritation. For this reason have no
use for even the most intelligent dogs
to assist in driving cows to and from
the pasture. The presence of such a
dog is sure to excite some nervous, sem
stive COW, and such are usually tho
best mixers, and her lacteal yield, if
alone affected. will leaven the product
of the whole herd. Cows should al
ways be handled and driven very de-
]iberately, and so none but experienced
people who can always control their
temper should be put about them. Get
up early enough in the morning SO
that you will not have to hurry the
cows in from pasture, and quit field
work early enough at night for the
same reason. When farmer ceases to
consider dairying simply as doing
chores" but regards tas one of the most
important interests he has on his place,
then, and then only, is he prepared to
make his cows pay. Never make dairy
ing subservient to other work unless
you have no need of a dairy income

simply laughed at for my impudence
in daring to pit my Waltham watch
against the accuracy of the Royal
Observatory. However, to set the
matter at rest, | wrote to the Astron-
omer Royal, telling him of my con-
viction, and asking him if he would
let me know whether l was right or
wrong. IN RETURN l RE-
CEIVED A COURTEOUS RE-
PLY FROM THE ASTROMO-
MER ROYAL, STATING THAT
| WAS QUITE RIGHT, and
that on the day named, owing to
an accident, the ball was dropped
about eighteen seconds too soon.
This seems to me such a remarkable
proof of the reliability of your watch
es that l feel justified in bringing it
to your notice. If you would care
to have the Astronomer Royals let
ter as memento, l should be pleased
to hear from you to that effect.

DESTRUCTION BY WATER.
A Heavy Downpour Of Rain. Fills Cellars
and Threatens Foundations.

Another heavy rain storm visited
this section Saturday night and Sun
day. The water came down incessant-
ly from about midnight Saturday till
Sunday evening. About five O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, there was a notice.
able break in the darkened canopy,
and the clouds disappeared sufficient
ly IN the evening to allow an occa-
slonal star to cast its glimmer upon
the earth. The let up was only tenn
porary however, and the greater part
OF Monday the ram descended steadily.
There was rapid rise in the streams,
the cutters were unable to carry off
the great volume of water, and as a
result many cellars were flooded.
Several house foundations were re-
ported to be in dangerous condition,
and repairs were necessary. The
tracks of the electric railway were
under water for considerable distance
out near the old brick yard, and pass.
engers were transferred from one car
to another.
A slide on the B. & S. Railroad
near the paper mill, called out the
section hands, but it was all cleaned
away without having caused any de-
lay in the running of trains.
AT Danville the flood was the great
est in its history. Half the town was
inundated and much damage was
wrought The water reached to the
second story of houses along D. L. &
w. avenue, and several families had
to be assisted to places Of safety.
Several barns were swept away, as
was eighty feet of thirty foot high
railroad embankment, the rails and
cross ties remaining intact, spanning
the wide chasm. The brick yard,
stove works, shovel factory and brew
cry suffered severely from the flood.
