TranaDortat ton o. Milk.

Prof. v. A. Moore, of Cornell univer-
sity, says: The difficulties involved IN
procuring milk reasonably free from
bacteria in our large cities do not rest
, entirely with the producer. The meth
cd Of transportation is quite as lmpor-
tant. Milk may be produced under
the best of conditions, cooled at once to
the required temperature at which it
is delivered for transportation. IT,
however, it's temperature is allowed to
! rise to 60 degrees f., or above during
the time it is in transit, the bacteria
present will multiply, producing acids
and by-products. so that when deliv-
cred the milk has become markedly, if
not seriously, changed. AS care Of the
milk required in the course Of trans
.>ortation is simply to have it put in
clean cans and kept at a low Temporal
ture, there is no reason why milk can
-ot be shipped hundreds Of miles and
e delivered in perfectly sweet and
wholesome condition. The details of
the methods for keeping it at low
temperature must, of course. be worked
out by all shippers as they have suc-
cessfully been by some milk companies.
The only requisite that the consumer
demands in the transportation is, that
the low temperature be maintained.

southern Arabia. The Babylonians no.

the mouth Of four5rivers, one of which,
in its upper portion, flowed through

by several hundred years should have
been somewhat hazy on such geo.
graphical niceties.
1t is true that there is no place in
the region where four rivers flow into
the sea at present. Geology, however,
shows that the Persian Gulf once ex-
tended considerably further inland
than to-day. The north shore Of the
Persian Gulf, then, some thousands of
years ago, would have been above the
confluence of the Euphrates and I'll
girls. Those rivers in those days would
have had separate mouths. Thus two
OF the four rivers are to be accounted
for; and it may be remarked that in
some of the Babylonian myths only
two rivers are mentioned. However,
two other rivers can be found-name-
ly, the Kercha and the Karun-to COR
respond with the Pison and Bihon of
Genesis. To-day these are tributaries
Of the united Euphrates and Tigris.
With the early position of the Persian
Gulf they would pour through separate
channels into the gulf. Here, then, we
have the four rivers flowing into the
sea at a spot a few hundred miles
north of the present north shore of the
Persian Gulf. and here, plainly, was
the Babylonian Paradise.

TIE Gardef, Of Eden

The latest scientific decision con-
cerning the location of Paradise, the
Garden Of Eden" was announced by
Prof. Paul Haupt, head of the depart
1nent Of Semitic languages at Johns
Hopkins university, in lecture deliv-
cred in the Haskell Hall of Chicago
university.
Eden, says the professor, was stu
ated close to the confluence of the Eu-
pirates and rigris in northern Meso-
potamia. This view is the ancient one
OF the biblical scholar, which later
scientists have rejected. The evidence
adduced by Prof. Haupt is culled from
Cuneiform inscriptions deciphered and
translated within the last year, the
principal TRANSACTIONS having been
made by Prof. Edward Harper Of Chi

The Mare aud the Foal.

A well-known writer on the care OF
horses has this to say about the mare
and her foal: The mare and her foa.
should be kept in a loose box, where
she should be supplied with plenty O!
good food, with an occasional brar
mash. AS soon as the weather is fine
enough, they should be allowed to rur
together on the grass by day, being
brought in by night at first. Late
foals are sometimes never brought in.
to the box at all. The mare should b:
allowed to run with her foal at leas,
a month before: she is put to any
work. }. A. nursing mare is usually ir
a weak condition, and works family
consequently she should only be pu1
at light work. Before the mare is re.
turned to the foal after working, she
should have little milk taken of, as
the first milk after her exertion may
act injuriously on the young foal. THIS
foal should be weaned after it is five
or six. months old. BY this time the
little animal will have learned to cal
grass and little crushed oats OF
meal. If possible, foal should not be
weaned alone, as 1t often frets with.
out company. In the event OF breed.
er having but one, it would be well fol-
him to make an arrangement with the

which the two may run together. In
this case they might be kept on eact

Killing Fowls

In the poultry industry, as in every
other, attractive marketing is an i'm
portant feature, and one too often
overlooked. Many Of the products
marketed by the farmer do not realize
high prices owing to lack OF proper
packing, or because some special re-
quirement of the consumer is not COM
piled with. The Canadian experiment
stations have devoted considerable at
tention to the poultry industry. Spe-
cial efforts have been made to learn
the requirements of the English mar
ket. Pn recent report Of the Cana
dian Commissioner of Agriculture and
Dairying, the methods Of dressing,
packing and shipping poultry for Brit
ish markets are discussed. Some Of
the directions for shipping turkeys
seem Of general application. Among
the principal points are the following:
Plucked turkeys are regarded as
more salable than unplucked. Fast
the birds for twenty-four hours, to
empty the crop and intestines The
fermentation of food in the crops and
intestines will wholly spoil the birds
Give a small quantity of water just
before killing. Kill by wringing the
neck, and not by knitting or sticking
One dealer says the easiest and best
mode Of killing is by the dislocatiou
of the neck. This manner of killing is
generally adopted by the English and
contin entail poulterers. 1t is done as
follows: Grasp the legs Of the bird in
the left hand and the head Of the bird
in the right hand, the back Of the
bird being upward and the crown Of
the head in the hollow Of the hand.
Hold the legs of the bird against. the
left hip and the head against the right
thigh Or knee. In this position strong
~ stretch the head, at the same time
oendin g it suddenly backward, so as
to dislocate the neck near it's junction
with the head. The bird is killed in
stantly, and plucking. the feathers
must be proceeded with at once. +.

Developing the Calf.

D0V01OpinS THO ~Aus
A bulletin Of the California Expert
ment Station says: The proper growth
and development Of the calf is equally
as Important as the care of the full
grown cow, for good COWS cannot be
made out of poorly fed calves. Wheth-
er the calf be destined for the dairy
or for the shambles, the true principle
Is TO keep it in a thrifty growing con-
dition until the end is reached. 1t is
not necessary that the calf be fat-ln
fact, it is better not to be so. The
feed should be such as to produce
bone and muscle to form a strong
framework with which to produce
milk or upon which to lay fat in the
time OF maturity. The mothers milk,
II it be not too rich in fat, furnishes
the best food for the purpose. but in
our commercial dairying butter fat
can be disposed of a: higher price
If made into cheese or butter and a
substitute offered which is cheaper. II
the calf is to be raised on skim milk
as the principal food, it should re-
ceive fresh whole milk for the first
ten days or two weeks. Then subst-
tute skim for whole milk, a little at
first, and increase gradually until, by
the time the calf is three weeks Old.
it may receive no whole milk what
even. AS soon as this substitution be-
gins add a small handful OF wheat
middlinss to the ration and increase
the quantity gradually as the skim
! milk is increased. Induce the calf to
eat dry grain and hay as soon as pos
sible, and give the milk simply as
/ drink. It will be remembered that
skim milk Is highly heterogeneous, and
, tn make it a perfect food requires the
addition Of carbonaceous material.
Nothing supplies this any better than
corn meal, but, owing to its high
price, rolled barley may be used, mix
ing barley, wheat, bran, and mid
dlings in equal parts and feeding from
one to two quarts per day by the time
the calf is two months old.

the milky way is divided only into two

ethical grounds. His evidence is taken
from thc immensely older Babylonian

But the ancient Babylonian legends

put it, however, not at the source, but

The most famous Of the Babylonian
cyclic poems is that Of Nimrod-the
name was later borrowed by Hebrew
writer's. Nimrod, in his search for the
tree Of life, passed through a land
where there was abundance Of spices
and pearls-evidently southern Arabia.
Thence he sailed for six weeks, and
finally arrived at the Land Of the
Blessed, the description Of which cor
responds closely with that of Eden.
Later came the mythical stories Of
Alexander, who went in search of the
spring Of life, but, though he discov-
cred it, he did not recognize it nor
parIake of it. The details of the two
legends point to common source.

The merchant received the boy into his

the same in that day In all trades, but
conditions are changed. The volume
