rran.nartstinn O, MILK.

Prof V. A. Moore, of Cornell un1ver-
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 impor-
tant. Milk may be produced under
the best of conditions, cooled at once TO
the required temperature at which 1t
is delivered for transportation. II,
however, its 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 deiiv-
cred the milk has become markedly, II
not seriously, changed. AS care OF the
milk required in the course OF trans
portation is simply to have 1t put In
clean cans and kept at low tempera-
ture, there is no reason why milk can
not be shipped hundreds of miles and
be delivered in a perfectly sweet and
wholesome condition. The details OF
the methods for keeping it at low
temperature mast, of course, be worked
out by all shippers as they have sue
cessfully been by some milk companies.
The only requisite that the consumer
demands in the transportation is. that
the low temperature be maintained.

A welI-known writer on the care OF
horses has this to say about the mare
and her foal: The mare and her foal
should be kept in loose box, where
she should be supplied with plenty OF
good food, with an occasional bran
mash. AS soon as the weather Is fine
enough, they should be allowed to run
together on the grass by day. being
brought in by night at first. Late
soals are sometimes never brought in
to the box at all. The mare should be
allowed to run with her foal at least
a month before she is put to any
work. A nursing mare is usually in
a weak condition. and works family,
consequently she should only be put
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. The
foal should be weaned after 1t is hve
or six months old. BY this time the
little animal will have learned to eat
grass and a little crushed oats or
meal. If possible, foal should net bc
weaned alone. as it often frets with
out company. In the event OF a breed
or having but one, it would be we'll for
him to make an arrangement with the
nearest neighbor having one, by
which the two may run together. In
this case they might be kept on each
farm alternately.

Gus" Doubtless Died Happy.

An elephant named Gus, 135 years
old. which has for many years travelled
over England and the continent in
Ginnett's and AleXander's circuses.
died at Hereford the other morning
from the effects of a severe cold. His
medicine included fifteen bottles of
whisky, rum and brandy. Gus when
at a French seaside resort distin-
guished himself by rescuing two cihl-
dren who were in danger of drowning
in the sea- He was bathing himself
when, hearing the childrens cries. he
dashed to their rescue and brought
them safely to land.

Killing Fowls.

In the poultry industry, as in every
other attractive marketing is an i'm
portant feature, and one too often
oyerlooked. Many of the products
marketed by the farmer do not realize
high prices owing to lack of proper
hacking, or because some special re-
ouirement 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. In a 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 snail quantity of water just
before killing. XIII by wringing the
neck, and not by knifing or sticking.
One dealer says the easiest and best
mode of killing is by the dislocation
of the neck. This manner of killing is
generally adopted by the English and
continental 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
ly stretch the head, at the same time
bending it suddenly backward, SO as
to dislocate the neck near its junction
with the head. The bird is killed in
stantly, and plucking the feathers
must be proceeded with at once.

rusn,,sth Century Wonders.

The twentieth century is certainly
a record breaker for wonders" said a.
well-known business man to a Phila-
delphia Times reporter day or so,
ago. Here's Marconi, who now sends
a wireless message $500 miles across
the ocean: Santos-Dumont is sailing
sayly over the housetops of Paris, and
some other fellow whose name l can't
now recall is planning to go across TO
England under the sea. But to me the
most wonderful of all inventions Is
the telephone. Think what you can do
with it. Why, last week put phone
In my house. The day it was connected

on them in policy row and that night
collected $500. Think of it! You can +

Ono Way to Outwit Gould.

When William r. Travers was In the
directorate of the New York Central
railroad Jay Gould was running the
Erie in opposition and his manage
ment OF that system betrayed con-
slant and intimate knowledge of what
was going on In the Central's star
chamber. Commodore Vanderbilt was
naturally exasperated and one day
after expressing how helpless he found
himself to outwit his rival he turned
to Travers with the query: We'll,
Billy, how can we stop Gould from
getting knowledge of what we are do
ing?' "W-w-w-why," suggested the
genial wit, "ww-why d-don't you
m-m-make him a d-director OF
N-N-New York C-C-Central?"

c. E. Lewis: When we undertake to
point out the qualities of the farm
horse in particular we find it very
hard to do so, for the simple reason
that the farm horse is and must be
general purpose horse. The draft
horse, the roadster, the saddle horse
each is fitted for one particular place.
But one horse cannot fill two plSces
and fill both as well as the horse Chat
has been bred for one place and fills
that one The farm horse is not a
dual-purpose horse, but a plural pur-
pose horse. He must not do two kinds
of work but great many kinds OF
work on the farm-heavy work and
light work, quick work and slow work
and in a great many cases must
serve as riding and driving horse, too.
Therefore it is hard to determine
what is the best type for farm horse
Every farmer must decide for himself

Cara In PcinxinR bibles.

The printing of the Bible is the most
strictly guarded work in existence
fact which appears strange until we
reflect on the mischief an inaccurate
Bible might bring about. The kings
printers and the two universities OF
oxford and Cambridge give to the
world all the Bibles printed in the
United Kingdom, except some printed
by special license. A few years ago
the question arose whether the word
spirit in Matthew iv. 1 and Mark l..
IL should have capital s. it having
previously been printed with a small
one, and, although the word was OBJ
viously wrongly printed, it was not
until after the ruling powers at the
universities and the kings printers had
met in solemn council that leave was
given to use a capital letter. Nothing
sanctioned by authority in 1911 may
be changed without creating something
skin to revolution in the places where
Bibles are printed.

Admiral Evans Relates an Experience

One incident in his early career, and
showing the intense hatred felt by
southern women for the North during
the civil war, was not recounted by
Admiral Evans in his Sailors Log"
After his knee had been shattered in
the successful attack on Fort Fisher he
was sent to a hospital in Norfolk for
treatment. On his arrival at the dock
in that city he was obliged to wait for
TRANSPORTATION, and lay in the open air
ON a none too comfortable pile OF
blankets. He was in a most pit1able
condition, thin to emaciation, and his
drawn face showed only too plainly his
sufferings Born a Virginian, he was
the only member of his family who es-
poused the Northern cause, and here
in his native state he felt that despite
his defense of that cause he was really

A curious find has just been made
at Samrishamn, in Sweden. At low
water a sailor discovered among the
stones on the beach of Massakasbay 4
teaspoon of brass After cleaning it
he found engraved on the inside the
picture of a man-of-war, with the
words Maine and $500 tons" The
spoon would therefore appear to have
belonged to the ill-fated Maine, sunk in
Havana harbor in the spring of 1898,
and it needed four years of ocean cur
rents to wash this tiny object ashore
on the coast of southern Sweden.
