MILK STOOL AND PAIL.
The Combination Here Described Is
Held in High Esteem by All Who
Have Used 1t.

We have tried several kinds of stools
and have seen all styles in operation
in various parts Of the country, but
nothing suits us so well as the style
shown here, says a Michigan farmer in
Hoard's Dairyman. We made the first
one when we commenced dairying.
The cut shows how to make it. The
board A should be about % inches long
for a tall man and about eight inches
wide. The two end pieces, B and c,
can be cut and adjusted to suit each
mixer. We made the stool so as to
have the seat d about ten inches high.

KEEPING MILK PURE.
Pail and Straining Apparatus
Is Used.

Poor butter is very often the result
of impurities that get into the milk at
milking time. Cloth strainers will
help matters materially, but first of all
thoroughly rub the cows udders with
q piece Of burlap before milking. The
best pail for milking with cloth strain
ers car be made by the tinsmith after
the pattern shown in the cut. Lay the
cloth tightly over the top of the pail,
then press the top piece down inside
the rim of the pail. The milk can
not spatter out, and must pass through
the cloth into the pail. Probably not
one dairyman in a hundred is as par
ticular as he should be in the matter
of getting the milk from the cows in
the cleanliest possible manner. After
visiting many dairy farms and noting
the filthy manner in which the COWS
are cared for and MIXED, I think my
statement of not one in a hundred is
not wide Of the mark. In many barns

Resolutions Adopted.

Mr.: J. J.. Hill, president of the Great
Northern delivered an address at Fargo,
81 ehs s6 1iGre Ba hS stats
arrival the following resolutions were
1T is the sense Of this meeting there
fore, that in resisting the attempts of
the Union Pacific Road and it's allies on
the one hand. and the Canadian Pacific
cure control of the Northern Pacific
Railroad James J. Hill has performed a
notable public service, and once more
like policy that has characterized his
long career as the great developer of
northwestern resources, and the most
watchful guardian of northwestern in
terests.
Mr.. Hill built a great transcontinental
railroad through wilderness, that has
grown through his ecorts, into the rich
est empire on earth, and never asked a
bonus or subsidy. He has connected
that railroad at one end with fleet of
the Orient and bring back the Oriental
trade to the northwest, and to the whole
nation, and at the other end with ship
ping facilities by water for the Atlantic
seaboard-all this, too, without a dollar
of bonus or the semblance of a subsidy.
Trusting to the resources of the country
for the traffic to justify extension, he
has entered every section that needed
transportation facilities and constructed,
often at a loss to himself, linse into
sparsely settled and unprOductive COM
munitieS. During all the years of rail-
road building, there has been a regular
ly marked reduction of freight tariffs,
according as the volume of traffic in
creased and warranted it, and a uniform
disposition to make temporary sacrifice
for the permanent Improvement of the
country.
I'm view of this record, and in recogni-
ton of the honorable and upright course
of James J. Hill in his dealings with
the farmers of the northwest, we con-
graduate the country upon his success
in preventing the absorption of the
Northern Pacific by Union Pacific inter
ests, on the one hand and the Canadian
Pacific manipulators on the other and
express our confidence in the purpose
and ability of Mr.. Hill to give to the
states of Minnesota and North and South
Dakota, the best and cheapest Transport
tation facilities to be had by the people
of any section of the nation.
Two years ago Mr.. Hill came to our
convention and gave us some good points
on diversified farming and other matters
of interest to the farmers of the north
west and stated that he would furnish
free transportation to delegations of
farmers from the different counties of the
state to visit the. Agricultural College
and State Farm, which offer many farm
erS have accepted to their great SatiSfac-
ton and benefit.
He also stated that he expected to
build some large steam vessels costing
a number of millions of dollars, to put
on the Pacifis ocean trade from this
country to the Orient. We notice by the
daily press that this statement is being
fulfilled, and it will make new market
for the farmers of the northwest, to
their benefit"

SCIENCE IN MILKING.
Good Cows Are Frequently Ruined
by Men Who Do Not Know How
to Handle Them.

Milking is an operation which re-
quires skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality of
milk given. Dairymen know that
there are as great differences between
mixers as between cows and that
COWS will do much better with good
mixers than with others. Indeed,
good cows are often almost ruined
by poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid handling
the cow more than is necessary, and
he should make it a rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from a sick to a well
cow without first cleansing his hands.
The habit of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy in the extreme and
should never be practiced. Some peo-
pie think it is necessary, but this is
mistake. The hands should be kept
dry. If they are not, it is impossible
to prevent drops of milk from con-
stantly falling from them into the
pail.
The pail should be held close to the
udder, so as to expose the milk to
the air as little as possible. The
further the streams fall and the more
they spray, the more dirt and bac-
terra they collect. Contamination
from the foremilk must be avoided by
discarding the first few streams
drawn, or less than a gill in ALL This
entails little loss, as the first milk
drawn is always poor in butter fat,
and if it happens to be badly con-
taminated, as is frequently the case,
much injury and trouble may be
saved Farm. Field and Stockman.

MILK STOOL AND PAIL.

All pieces are about eight inches wide.
1t is a pleasure to use this stool. One
can sit comfortably without bracing'
No need of hugging the pail; simply
let it rest between the knees. The
pail should be tilted slightly, and, thus
arranged, a good, rapid mixer will
spatter very little milk. This stool
keeps the pail off the floor and thus
keeps it clean. We prefer heavy tin
pail. slightly faring and Of good depth
A fange at the bottom is protection
and strengthens the pail.

the conditions are simply disgusting,
while one can rarely find a stable
where thoroughly painstaking effort
is made to keep every particle of for
eign matter and every foul odor out of
the milk. Even under the very best
conditions as regards cleanliness it is
utterly impossible to keep all impuri-
ties out of the milk if the latter is
drawn from the cow into an open pail,
for hairs and some dust particles will
be loosened from the cow by the action
of the hands in milking. However,
with a pail like that shown in the cut
and two thickness ses of cotton cloth,
or, better still, layer of surgeons
absorbent cotton, laid between two
sheets of cheesecloth and caught to-
gether here and there with thread and
needle, almost absolute cleanliness
can be secured. A large sheet of such
a strainer can be made at once, and
circles cut from it for each milking.
The cotton mentioned is absolutely
pure, and is of a nature to check the
passage of any impurities. By the use
of such a device the milk and cream
will not only be practically pure, if all
other precautions are taken to keep it
SO, but it will keep much longer than
milk and cream secured under the or
binary conditions-a very decided adj
vantage, if one ships his cream away
or has a milk or cream route, for there
is, perhaps, no more common COM
plant from customers Cd 4 milk route
than that the milk or cream does not
keep from one day to the neXt.-N. Y.

ALFALFA OR LUCERNE.
Gerald Mccarthy, NJ. s., Says Ii Gives
Yield Surprising Amy Other
Hay Crop.

Alfalfa Medicago Satiya is one of
the oldest cultivated crops. 1t has
been cultivated for 25 centuries. It's
native home is supposed to be that of
the primitive Aryan stock from which
all the European nations are de-
scended. Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, M. S.,
says that alfalfa is very long-lived
perennial plant of the pulse or
leguminoUs family. 1t roots very
deeply going from to 80 feet deep,
and as a consequence is practically
drought proof when once web estab-
Ished. 1t requires a rather dry soil,
rich in lime. The plant is tender and
feeble when young and requires
mellow surface free from weeds with
plenty of soluble plant food at hand.
On worn lands this crop usually fails
to catch unless the soil has been
given a good dose of stable manure
or bone meal just previous to sowing
the seed. Once started a sowing
lasts from 10 to 80 years. The dry
valley and mountain lands of the
Rocky mountains seem to be the
home of this plant in America. 1t
also succeeds we'll on the Pacific
slope and in the Mississippi valley
1t does well on the lighter soils of the
Atlantic coast and gulf states, but
requires great care to get it started.
It is usually sown broadcast in early
fall using about 20 pounds of seed
per acre. No nurse crop is desirable.
When we'll cared for the yield cf this
crop is enormous, exceeding any
other hay crop.
In New Jersey four cuttings per
year are obtained: iii the gulf region
eight cuttings are the rule. The
WELD is one and a half to two tons OF
air dry hay per cutting, giving a total
yield for the year of to 16 tons per
acre.
One ton of this hay contains the
following amounts of plant food
Nitrogen $500. ................ 4S g lbs.
PhOsphOrlc acid. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 10.Z IDS.
Potash 900 Ips'
AS with all other legumines the
nitrogen comes from the air. The
potash and phosphoric acid come
from the soil and to keep up the
yield an annual dressing of these
substances equivalent to that which
has been carried off in the hay 1aust
be given. Taking the average yield
at six tons per acre we obtain:
Nitrogen, 1928 lbs. worth $a SO
Phosphoric acid, 81 8 lbs. worth PAT
Potash, Z0l.6 lbs. ...Worth $40
Total fertilizing value. .O6
To replace the above amounts of
potash will require 403 pounds of
muriate of potash. To replace the
phosphoric acid requires 425 pounds
of superphosphate But where the
growing season is long and the tenn
perature favorable the yield may be
larger and the fertilizer must be in
creased proportionately A good
normal fertilizer for alfalfa is as fol-
lows:
Muriate of potash............ 500 to 1000 lbs.
SuperphOsphate ...-.......... 500 70 l,WV lbs.
Lime .........................5 800 to / 600 lbs.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS
Do Hair No Good, But often Cause 1t
to Fall Out.

Many hair preparations are cake" be-
cause they are merely scalp irritants. They
often cause dryness, making the hair brit
tie, and, finally, ,lifeless. Dandruff is the
cause of all trouble with hair. 1t is a germ
disease. The germ makes cuticle scales as
it digs to the root of the hair, where it de-
stroys the hairs vitality, causing the hair
to fall out. TO cure Dandruff, the germ
must be killed. Destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect" Newbro's Herpicide is
the only hair preparation that kills the
dandruff germ, thereby leaving the hair to
grow luxuriantly.
