Dairy Notes.

In points to be bred for in the dairy
COW the teats should not be forgotten.
Other things being equal, choose the
COWS with good-sized teats. Here is
where the score card may be of serv-
ice. 1t unfortunately happens fire.
quently that a heavy and rich mixer
has teats that are small and of a
makeup that requires an extra strong
hand to force out the milk. We have
seen good COWS that could not be
MIXED by women, for the reason men
toned. Various methods have been
tried to render hard-milking cows
easy to milk, but we know of none that
can be pronounced a success. The in
sorting of tubes in the orifces of the
teats is likely to set up a disturbance
in the tissues that will bring troubles
of a nature to be avoided. We can
breed in the good teat with greater
ease than we can get it in any other
way.
We have known farmers to milk the
newly-calved COW before the calf got
at her and throw away the milk. Most
farmers understand that this is a mis-
take. This first milk is called the
colostrum and contains a very large
proportion of proteids. In some cases
the proteids amount to Is per cent of
the whole. AS much as so per cent of

Sugar contains none of the elements
of fertility and therefore is not so ex-
haustive to the soil as where corn and
pats are sold from the farm. In the
average beet field there are from three
to six tons Of tops that have a high
feeding value and are relished by all
kinds of stock.

Life of the Cholera Germ.

How long will the germ of hog
cholera live? This is a question that
is troubling a good man. people, for
on it's answer hinges not only the
safety of herds that are yet to be, per-
haps a year hence, in the places OF
herds now affected by hog cholera. 1t
is the belief of some of our best breed
ers that the germs will remain vigor-
GUS for. at least two years after the
pens once infected have been emptied.
Cases are reported where fresh hogs
have been brought into styes that had
been empty nearly two years and
where the hogs came down with chol-
era within a few days Of entrance.
This especially affects the showing Of
hogs at fairs. If there have been
cholera-sick hogs in any of the pens
the germs are likely to remain active
till the next year. 1t is therefore
necessary that the men having fairs
in charge see that all pens are dis
infected each year, to eliminate the
possible presence of cholera germs.

1t is estimated that the annual con-
sumption of milk in this country is
ABOUT 100 quarts per capita annually.
This does not refer to the milk alone
that is used in the form of milk, but
it includes all the milk from which is
made our butter and cheese. The food
products of milk are growing in popu-
larity every year. The present low
consumption indicates to some extent
the possibilities in the field of dairy
ing.

OIL WELLS IN THE EAST.
Dickinson County Girl Writes Of
Their Working.

FOR the Reflector.
TloNA. Pa, Dec. Al take pleas
ure, after having visited the best oil
field in this country, in sending you
something concerning oil refining,
which may be Of some interest to
your readers.
This oil field is found in, and about
Tiona, an area Of about 10 miles
square. The oil found here is con-
sidered the best in the world. The
drilling varies from 65 to 5000 feet
deep. They place these wells about
500 feet apart, and never get a dry
well in this territory. In drilling
they strike first sand and fresh
water, then second sand and salt
water, and then in the third sand
they strike their heavy flow Of oil and
gas. Standing in one place you can
count hundreds Of these oil derricks.
The crude oil first goes through
immense stills. OF the entire amount
10 per cent is drawn off as benzne.
This is the first deposit Of oil. Then
10 per cent is gasoline, the second
deposit. The next is 40 fire test oil,
which is not allowed to DO sold in
many states for Illuminating purposes.
Then the $50 fire test which is the
best oil for Elimination.
The fire test is testing cup Of oil
placed over fire and thermometer
inserted in this cup Of oil, and when
1t is heated to certain degree light
ed match is passed over the oil and
the gas coming from the oil ignites at
certain degree. This is the re-
quired fire test.
The next deposit is the wax dsso.
late called parafline wax. This goes
through a freezing process which
separate, the wax from tue oil and is
refined through bone and after going
through a high pressure comes out
white wax. Our white chewing gum
is made OF this. After the refined oil |
comes out Of the still, different grades
Of lubricating oil are made; also dii-
ferent grades Of vasolene. About 80
grades Of oil are made at Tiona. The
gas OF commerce and oil are obtained
at the same wells. They are separat-
ed by mechanical arrangement at
the mouth Of the well and carried off
in separate pipes to the gas and oil
mains. The crude oil is forced
through pipes to distant cities.
! am indebted to Mr.. A. R. Bathurst
who kindly explained these facts and
showed me through this extensive re
linery. MARY HouLToN.

Dastardly outrage bv Robberq.

Mansfield O., Feb. 11.-One of the
most dastardly robberies every perpe-
trated in this part of the country was
committed near Mckay, a hamlet in
Ashland county, about midnight SAT-
urday. Six masked robbers broke into
the residence of John Duncan, veal
thy farmer, bound and gagged Mr..
Duncan and the four other members
of the family, and after ransaeking the
house demanded of the farmer that he
disclose to them where his money and
other valuables were secreted. On his
refusing TO do so they applied matches
to his feet, torturing him as well as the
others until the location Of the money
was disclosed The thieves secured
$3.50, four watches and other valuables
after which, four of the robbers, leav-
ing their victims still helpless, stole
team of horses and bobsled and made
their escape. Tho ether robbers went
toward Loudonville.
