TESTING THE MILK.
The manager of the farm is a graduate
of Cornell University. Connected with his
Office is a full laboratory equipped with
apparatus for doing exact scientific work.
1t is here that the milk is tested and
examined, and other work in this line done
not only by the superintendent, but by
students who come here for practical ex-
perience from various colleges.
While each farm is under the direction
of a manager. the entire supervision of all
the farms, together with the laboratories,
is under the personal care of the scientific
director of the company. In addition to
selecting the managers and holding them
responsible for enforcing the rules estab-
lished in regard to the conduct of every
thing pertaining to these farms he from
time TO time makes a personal investiga-
ton of what is being done.
This farming on a large scale and on
strictly scientific lines did not spring into
being full-fedged, but was gradually de-

CURIOUS JEWISH OBsERvANCEs IN
NEW YORK's EAST SIDE.
The Faithful Swing the Sacrifices

Hundreds OF thousands of chickens and
ROSTERS were killed on the East Side as
birds of redemption yesterday. 1t was
the eve OF The Day OF Atonement, and
prosperity manifested itself In the unusu-
ally large number OF cacklers doomed to
. death so that their owners lives might be
spared for the ensuing year.
A young woman was seen performing the
ceremony In toy store on Norfolk street
at an early hour yesterday. There was
an open prayer book on the counter be-
fore her. and she was reading 1t aloud
as she repeatedly swung the hen around
her head.
This is my ransom" the prayer ran;
'this Is my substitute; this hen goes to
her death in order that my life may be
spared"
There was a customer In the store, but
the young woman ignored him. When she
was through swinging the hen about her
head and chanting the prayer. she smiled
and said:
Excuse me. sir. I had nobody to mind

demption bird here. My husband and my
children have done the same at home. OF

SCIENCE And THE DAIRY
PRECAUTIONS THAT VERY NEARLY
INSURE PURE MILK.
A Model Dairy of Which College Grad
Managers-Care of the Cows.

New York Sun.
A present achievement of scientific farm
ing is the production of milk so free from
germs that bottled as il is taken from the
cow and sealed it has been transported
across the ocean and brought back still In
perfect condition.
The farms where this milk is produced
are not conducted on agricultural expert
ment station lines, the first object being to
produce milk practically free from bac-
terra; profit being a secondary considera-
ton, although it is by no means ignored.
The undertaking is unusual in uniting
under the control of a single corporation
eighteen farms, situated near as many
large cities. the aggregate area being 7,4eO
acres, and the number of cows MIXED
daily averages something more than 5000.
The conduct of these different farms is
Identical.
Each has a resident manager in charge.
Most of these managers are college gradu-
ates. and a number have been professors.
1t is required that all managers. whatever
their previous training. shall spend some
time in one of the laboratories of the COM
pany There is a laboratory in each of
the cities near which the farms of the
corporation are situated, and 1t is from
these that the milk is distributed.
The farm near New York is typical of
others controlled by the company. Here
there are 225 cows, and each one of them
is as carefully considered and cared for
as fine horses in the best stables. They
are not of any particular strain, but are

When woman expects to become a

then how can she tell whether IL is going
