EASY FOR THE DRUGGIST.
A Letter of Recomm II datiOn That

A young man being out of employment
recently requested former employer to
give him letter of recommendation TO aid
him In securing a situation. The letter was
written and handed to the applicant, who
was quite unable to read it, as was every
person to whom it was shown. He was
advised to take it to printing office, where
it could be deciphered, as compositors are
noted for being able to make out the worst
specimens of writing, relates London Tit

1t was handed to compositors in various
offices, and in turn given up without being
deciphered.

Our Ignorance of Earth.

1t is beginning to strike the thought
full that we know very little of the APP
pearance of the earth. A mine that
descends a quarter of a mile under
ground is, relatively speaking, scarce
ly more than the impression made by a
ferrule of walking stick on a wet
road. The great heart of the globe it
self remains untouched and unknown.
Is it solid or is it liquid? But more
humbling is the reflection that until
we learn to fly we shall have no true
conception of the picture of the earth.
Our vision is lateral. We are looking
at the earth as though, to see our
selves, we held mirror with it's end
against our nose, and looked along it.
We think we know howa tree looks.
how a mountain looks, even how man
looks; but we do not. We only know
as much of their appearance as a fly
knows of the picture it crawls upon.
To see a picture properly one must
stand away from it, and until we get
off the earth, either by flying machines
or ballons, we shall have no faithful
idea of how our planet really looks.
Universal flying would surely breed
an entirely new school of art.-London
Graphic.

SELECTION OF COWS.
Prof. F. S. Cooley Points Out Three
Phases That Must He Care
fully Considered.


There are three phases to be con-
sidered in this choosing COW, said
Prof. S. F. Cooley at recent in
stitute at the Massachusetts, agri-
cultural college. First, | would Sc
lect the COW as an individual, with
out reference to antecedents and rec
ords. The most important indication
of good cow is her udder. No cow
can make much milk without capa-
cious udder. This is not measured
SO much by it's vertical diameter as
by its length as measured by the at
tachment to the body. 1t should ex-
tend well forward and far back or up
ward between the legs, and should
be wide at the same time, but not
necessarily pendulous. The next point
to be considered is the barrel. The
cow must have big body, which is
her workshop or laboratory.
Those features that indicate a good
breeder or mother should come next.
She should be wide through the
hips and large and roomy in the
hind quarters. The fourth point to
be considered is the forequarters,
and here she should be rather thin
and sharp, of spare flesh, loosely put
together, with chin a little sharp.
The neck should be sharp, and rath-
er loosely put on the shoulders, and
the head long. Lastly should come
the superficisl points, such as good
milk veins, eacutcheon, fine hair and
loose skin. The udder, barrel, pelvic
region, fore quarters and superficial
points should be considered in this
order, but most buyers begin with
the last, and seldom get as far as
the udder.
The second phase of the selection
has to do with the pedigree. A ped
igree of the right sort should be a
record of ancestry that includes ami
mails of superior merit close up. The
mother of the cow should be a supe-
rior animal, and of the type which
you wish to perpetuate. The moth
er of the cows sire should tie the
same. If they are mediocre, you

TUBERCULAR BACILLI.
Martyr to InOcuIatiOn Theory Proves
That They Can Be Transmitted
from Cows to Men,

The announcement made by DIR.
Koch, the famous German .bacterioI-
ogist, at the London tuberculosis
congress that human beings could
not be inoculated with tubercular
bacilli from animals was naturally
received with much incredulity by
physicians in all parts of the world.
1t was well known at the time that
Prof. Koch's conclusions were based
upon experiments upon the lower
animals, which appeared to indicate
that animals could not contract con-
sumption from human beings. With
out having made any experiments
upon human beings at the time he
boldly concluded that the reverse of
the proposition was also true-that
human beings could not contract
tuberculosis from animals.
To prove the truthfulness or falsity
of this deduction 1t was manifestly
necessary to inoculate a human be-
ing with the tubercular bacilli from
a lower animal. To test the theory
of DR.. Koch young woman of
Brooklyn less than year ago sub
mitted to incubation with bovine
bacilli of consumption by a we'll
known physician of that city, who
not only desired to prove the incor-
rectness of DR.. Koch's contention but
to demonstrate that consumption in
it's earlier stages could be cured by
inhalation of a indicated air. The
woman soon developed all the symp-
toms of genuine tuberculosis, and
never enjoyed good health at any
time after being inoculated She
finally died, martyr to the Koch
theory of incubation, although her
death by no means demonstrated the
incurability of consumption.
The result of the experiment, with
out any reference to it's ethical as
poets, is important and must have a
far-reaching influence upon state and
municipal authorities in their efforts
to prevent the sale of milk or meat
from cows affected with tuberculosis,

INTERIOR OF REFRIGERATOR

the waste was but one pound per
hour. This cooler costs just $11.05
for material.
1 will give as brief description of
the manner of making as possible.
For room of any size make bottom
first of four or siX-inch flooring. To
start, cut flooring enough for first
course, the width of the room is to be
andlength; take two by two inch strips,
lay them down IS inches apart, and
on them lay two thicknesses of best
odorles building paper, and on these
strips nail the flooring. Turn the
floor over, so naked strips will be
uppermost (the strips are three
inches shorter all around than the
fiooring). Now put on two more
thicknesses of paper and lay on
flooring flush with strips. Cut an
other set of strips three inches short
er than the floor you now have; lay
on these two more thicknesses of
paper, and put on a last course of
flooring.
You now have two perfect dead-air
ductors than any filling, and will al
ways be sweet. Inside of room
sides are put on same as bottom. eX-
cept at the corners, where, as mat
ter of precaution, I always put an
extra thickness of paper, as l add
the flooring. In height of building
leave enough room overhead for ice
nlo, eix
right.) Now comes the principal
feature of the room, namely, tho ice
racks.
Four inches below where the two
foot siX-inch line is from the cell
ing of the cooler nail securely two
by four scantling on long way of
cooler up, and three inches apart.
These drip boards rest just over
drain; four inches is room enough
Directly under the three-inch space
and two or three inches lower down,
place concave two by skies, one end
resting on drain and other end lit
tie higher. You now have an open
pan, can see ice every six inches,
but no water can drop on the floor.
The drip boards are not fastened, but
can be taken down and washed read
lily. The rack for ice is not fas-
tened, but can be removed at any
time. Make doors on same plan as
sides and bottom. This room, built
as above, will hold the same degree
of temperature at all times, and is
very inexpensive. Outside can be fin
ished with cornice and panel work
if one so desires. Put on two or
three coats of paint, anyway.

GOLD IN THE YUKON.
How 1t Is Used in Dust Form q
Medium of Exchange in the
Mining Country.

Consul III. d. Saylor reports from
Dawson City that a recent order in
council changes the rate of royalty
on the gold output of the Yukon
| territory, says the Washington Star.
The present rate is five per cent. on
all the gold produced by any individ-
ual exceeding a gross output of
$4,000 per year. The consul explains
that gold dust is generally used in
that section to liquidate debts, and
mercnantable gold dust, or dust
thoroughly cleaned, is worth on an
| average SIG per ounce. Commercial
| dust is understood to mean a mixed
dust of different creeks, adulterated
| with black sand or crushed white
quartz, which is worth from $14 to
SIS per ounce.
Every practical miner will, if his
dust be above the average in value,
sell it to the bank, buy commercial
dust at an average of SIS per ounce,
and pay his creditors with it at the
| rate of SIG per ounce. The mer-
/ chant, on the other hand, receives
| for the dust, on exchanging it for
currency, only about STATS per ounce.
AS the large commercial houses are
mainly American and buy their goods
in the United States, they will be
| obliged, under the new order, to lose
not only the discount of $1.25 on the
dust, but pay the export tax as we'll;
hence they are endeavoring to force
| the dust out of circulation.
Already mechanics in many trades
! have refused to accept gold dust for
wages, and are now paid in currency.
In order to put the territory on a
| currency basis, if possible, the mer-
| chants have decided to accept mer-
| charitable dust at SIS per- ounce, the
merchant to pay the 21s per cent. ex-
port tax.

have poor pedigree to start with.
The farther back you can go with
good animals, the better the pedi-
gree. The next point is uniformity
and similarity of animals on both
sides.
In the selection of herd, the third
phase is to choose a few each year
from among those cows you have,
and weed them out, selecting few
from outside superior to those you
propose to let go. To make selec-
tions in your own herd, it is neces-
sary to keep daily record and to
make frequent tests of the milk. Dis
pose of those not making a salts
factory profit. At the Connet ticut
experiment station it costs about $42
year to keep cow, here about
$50. In order to pay for this feed,
a COW must be capable of making
300 pounds of butter per year. The
average of the herd ought to be $50
pounds, and 400 pounds is possible
with care and selection. Too many
farmers don't know which cows are
making profit and which a loss.

steady Production Counts.

From testing the best milking cows
are found out, and it is wonderful how
animals are discovered to be good
mixers when whole twelvemonth
is taken, which yet have never yielded
very large quantity at one time,
while, on the other hand, animals
which have yielded an enormous guam
tity over short time and have had
great notice taken of them are really
poor mixers where their total WELD
for ~ months is summed up. The
cow that yields moderate quantity
over nine, ten or eleven months is the
sort tn have to breed from, and it. is
only by record that this is found out.
In addition to this, the quality Of the
milk must be taken into account, and
it is desirable to test this from time
to time also.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Failing to get all the buttermilk
out causes butter to become rancid
soon.
To obtain the best results in churn-
ing the cream should be only slight
ly sour.
One advantage in brine sailing is
that it almost entirely avoids
streaked or notified butter.
The milk should always be skinned
while sweet and the cream then al
lowed to turn slightly sour.
