Mnk Infection.

Prof H. L. Russell, in a recent ad-
dress. said in part:
A prominent factor to be considered
is one that is generally overlooked by
most people. II is the germ life that
comes from the inside Of the udder
We said at the outset that milk was
secreted germ free; as made in the
gland cells 1t is sterile but as soon as
it flows out into the milk clstern It
comes IN contact with bacteria. II
we look at the section Of a cows udder
It Is easy to see why this is so. The
direct communication that It Is pos
sible to establish between the outside
OF the udder and the secretory cells
permit more or less Of germ life to
work their way up the teat into the
milk cistern and so on into the nu-
merous folds and convolutions OF the
smaller channels. Here are ideal con-
dltiona for growth If any germ does
establish itself Moisture, food. and
warmth abound, and this is ali a mi
crobe needs TO wax fat. In the few
particles Of milk that inevitably re-
main in the udder these bacteria thrive
and grow. To such an extent is this
SO that the first few streams always
contain a very much larger number
than at any subsequent time. The
milk secreted and withdrawn toward
the end Of the milking is much more
nearly as the COW made It, because the
great majority Of these organisms are
washed out by the fore milk just as a
sewer is flushed with the heavy flow
Of storm water.
The third factor to which reference
will now be made Is the influence
which the animal herself directly ex-
erts on the germ content OF the milk:
also the contamination which comes
from the dust In the air Of the barn.
The coat OF the COW could be provided
In no better way to aid in the dlstri-
button Of bacteria Unless kept thor

and tail become coated with evident
hlth. Even where this material Is not
allowed to accumulate there are innu-
merable dust particles caught IN the
hair. The majority OF these contain
organisms OF all sorts, bacteria pre-
dominating BY planting IN gelatine
these hairs taken from the apparently
clean coat Of a COW, Il Is possible /
to study the number and kind Of or
ganisms that find their way into the
milk. Is y any wonder that milk that /
contains dirt sours and spoiis more
readily than clean milk? There are
but few things richer IN germ life than
the filth particles coming from the /
fecal discharges Of animals, or the /
dust and dirt Of hay. bedding. etc.
In our experience both the fore milk /
and the utensils are the main factors
Of pollution; although the pals are
steamed FOR a moment, they neverthe-
less often contain a considerable num-

The Maryland Experiment Station
publishes the following conclusions
drawn from its pig feeding expert
ments:
l. It was found that with some ra-
tons the gains on pigs could be pro
duced az low as "a cents per pound.
2. In all the tests where properly
compounded rations were used pork
was produced at a profit when the pigs
were not allowed to become too old.
3. The cost Of producing a pound Of
pork increases with the age of a pig.
4. The aim should be to produce
from $50 to 200 pound pigs at six to
seven months old for the greatest
profit.
8. Skim milk was found to have a
feeding value for pigs equal to fully
double the price charged at most OF the
creameries Of the state.
6. Separator skim milk at X cent
per gallon and linseed and gluten
meals at $500 per ton. have about the
same value for balancing rations for
pig feed.
z. Cream or king" gluten meal
was found to be more economical FOR
balancing rations for pigs than llnseed
meal.
8. Ground fodder, such as the New
Corn Product, was found to be a valu-
able addition to rations for pigs.

Der OF germs. The fore milk with US
assumes q relatively high numerical
estimate. but that is probably because
other conditions are more improved.
It probably makes but little difference
in the germ content Of fore milk
whether the herd is kept in the ordi-
nary manner or special endeavors used
10 keep it in the best form.
There is no question but that care
ful handling Of the milk viii result
in a very great reduction in the NUM-
Der Of bacteria that find their way into
the same. This is evident not only
from meteorological tests made on
milk drawn under the best and also
under ordinary conditions. but also
from the increase Of the keeping quail
ity Of the product.
In the establishment Of sanitary or
certified dairies, where milk is handled
under most modern conditions, the in
crease in keeping quality is very
marked; such milk often remaining In
a sweet condition for several days. and
sometimes a week or more.

In the home garden four principal
things are to be considered. namely:
% A sufficient supply Of fruits and
vegetables or the finest quality: t2)
Each crop to extend over as much
Of the season as possible. with a we'll

cheapness Of cultivation. and manur-
ing. fD The retention Of the fertility
Of the land for future years. A gar
den should not be made into beds

Poultry Brlofs.

In some experiments in fattening
fowls II has been apparently demon
strated that a feed Of ground oats and
skim milk makes a white, firm flesh,
and that adding some tallow to the ra-
tion during the last ten days OF the
feeding renders the flesh more juicy.
Keeping the fowls confined prevents
exercise and softens the muscles.
American poultry raisers are some
what shy OF what Is called the cram
ming system" in the fattening OF poul-
try, and we think justly so. A Cana
dian speaker on poultry topics says
that the system is favorable to fatten-
ing for the first two weeks, but that
after that time there Is danger Of en-

How He Gets a Hearing.

The time worn methods of securing, an audience with the householder is failure nowadays, and new ways must be devised. One enterprising odd job. man has a new entering wedge which deserves notice, if only for it's impu- dence.
 He goes to the Sa buildingand rings bell. The householder answers down the tube.
 Hello. Is this Miss ?" reading the name from the card index.
 "Yes. What is it?"
 Pardon my asking" comes the an- swer, "but are you all church members in this house?'
 The assertion that the entire house hold is righteous usually comes, and then the odd job man says:
 q am delighted to hear it. Delight ed. But have you piano that you want tuned or a sewing machine that needs mending?"
 Sometimes he gets the job and some times he doesn't, but in any event he has secured hearing Chicago Trib- une.

Early Use of Petroleum.

Petroleum has been known from an- cient times. It was put to practical use as fuel in the region around the Caspian sea much earlier than else where. Under the name of .Sicilian oil, it was burned in lamps in Rome in the days of Pliny. It entered into use in the arts in China centuries ago, and was discovered by the early settlers in Canada and the United States. As first known petroleum came from springs, and among it's first uses, ap- parent1y learned from the North Amer ican Indians, was it's employment a $ medicinal agent to cure rheumatism and neuralgia Scientific American.

FASHIONS FANCIEs.

In millinery, wraps and gowns deli- cate shades make an impressive show ing. Here and there bright red is seen, but delicate colors are used great deal.
 A shade much in demand is pale blue. It is not used extensively in whole gowns, but as a contrast in trimming and finishing it is widely employed.
 White hatiste and dimity gowns are trimmed with blue silk and velvet bands. Pale blue in silk, satin, gauge, chiffon or velvet gives many pretty and becoming touch to bodices in all most any color.
 Black chantilly lace stockings. with spun-silk feet, are a swagger novelty in hosiery. They are very expensive and not especially handsome. The same can be said of black mousseline de soie, with embroidered fronts.
 Golf capes made three-quarter length of plain or plaid cloth are shown for early fall. They are made with or without boods and fall to be- low the knees. Dark cloths with plaid backs are favored materials for them, although some are bright red.
 Handsome capes reaching below the waist are made circular and of cloth stenciled and embroidered or sap- piiqued with silk. They are elabor- ately trimmed with chiffon ruffles. A few are of appliqued taffeta hand sonely trimmed with black lace ruff fes.
 A noticeable feature is the medley of tints in new pink. It is very rich and striking, without being of fensively conspicuous. It is seen in the latest millinery and is used eff fectively when velvet of this shade is employed as a band around the crown with loops and a knot at the back on a black-lace or Neapolitan straw hat. Another knot of pink rests on the hair underneath the brim at one side and for wearer with black hair is very becoming.

 All of the grocery and meat dealers have signed paper to close every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday night at 6:3O o'clock instead of 9 o'clock, as has been the case formerly, the stores remaining open every evening. This new movement on the part of local business men is said to have been brought about by popular agitation, a number of the clerks working earnest ly with that end in view. Many nights the amount of patronage after supper time would hardly pay for the cost of the lights used and although it was. of course, a convenience to the public for the stores to remain open every evening, no one will find fault with the new schedule of closing.

our Matches Are Too Explosive.

Generally speaking, foreign matches make less noise when igniting than American matches. The majority of the latter crack like pistol shot when scratched. This effect results from the peculiar composition with which the American matches are tipped. Sweden, to which country the world is indebted for several other innova- tions in this line of business, origin ated what is called the safety match, :" which will light only when scratched upon it's own box. This result is at tained by putting one important in gredient of the friction compound, the phosphorus, on the box rather than on the match.-N. Y. Tribune.
