Dairy Exolution.

The latest development in the d3ir-
industry and one that has attracted
the most attention probably is dairy
bacteriology. says D. ". Wilson OF
Illinois In The American Agriculturist-
1t is only a few years since that the
study Of bacteriology has been suiii-
GENTLY scientific to reach milk and ix
production. Today we find that the
man who is up in his business Is tie
dairyman who fully understands bac-
terra, where they come from. how they
go and how to determine the good from
the bad. The man who has the best
knowledge along that line is the man
who Is best fitted to carry on dairyinE
scientifically and exactly and to guar
antee that his product will be AZ
ways uniform provided his milk or the
raw product has been delivered to him
in the proper shape.
Marketing dairy products has been
almost entirely revolutionized within
the last Is years. The methods OF
transportation have improved. and the
methods Of packing. packages aud han
ding In every way have been so rad
ically changed that the handler of but
ter Of % years ago would hardly be
able to understand or appreciate what
has been accomplished unless he had
grown up. as 1t were. with the improv-
ed methods.
We must have the dairy type, con-
formation Of the COW to the business
for which she Is designed. We look
upon the cow now as simply a machine
through which the products Of the
farm are passed and from which we re-
ceive the milk in its perfect condition,
The COW that would produce 100 or
200 pounds Of butter per year so years
ago was considered a fairly good cow.
but the COW that does not produce 800
pounds Of butter per year no Y is hard
ly considered up to date. This has
been brought about by organization.
by breeding and by studying the prob
lem and finding ont how the milking
ability of the machine could be de-
yeloped.

Homemade Konmisa.

Cows milk should be diluted with
one-third its volume Of water and two
teaspoonfnls OF white sugar added per
quart OF liquid. A small portion OF this
Is rubbed into q paste. which is then
placed IN strong bottles and allowed to
ferment. After a few days. during
which the bottles should be repeatedly
shaken. a beverage Of great value In
cases Of digestive disturbance as wen
as of excellent palatabillty for a
healthy person Is produced. Especisi
care must be used in corking the bot
ties tightly, and 1t Is safer, owing to
the great pressures produced by the
fermentation, to wrap the bottles In q
heavy cloth before shaking them.

TO PROTECT WALRUS.
The indians Food Supply Endangered by
Wanton Destruction.

Port Townsend. Jan. 19.-Reporta OF
the wanton destruction OF walrus have
reached the treasury department at
Washington. Walrus come from the
Arctic on the Ice flow during the early
portion OF the open season to points be-
tween st. Michael and Cape Nome.
and thousands OF passengers ON early
steamers plying between those places
shoot into bands, killing ana wounding
many. Captains OF whalers have re.
ported that thousands OF carcasses are
seen floating In Behring sea and the
Arctic ocean. Walrus flesh is the
main subsistence Of Alaska coastwise
Indians. and their wanton destruction
threatens starvation to them. The law
relating to iur-bearing animals does
not mot apply to walrus, hut Assistant
Secretary OF the Treasury Spaulding
has issued instructions to Collector of
Customs Heustis, at this port, to urge
masters OF vessels visiting Alaska
waters to prevent the killing OF walrus
by persons on board OF their vessels.
These instructions are issued with a
view OF protecting the food supply of
the Indians, many OF whom are said to
be almost In starving condition.
