10 Can he Done IL the Right Kind Of
Pail and straining Apparatus
In Used.

Poor butter is very often the result
Of impurities that get into the milk at
milking time. Cloth straners will
help matters materially, but first OF all
thoroughly rub the cows udders with
a piece Of burlap before milking. The
best pail for milking with cloth strain
ers can be made by the tinsmith after
he 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 cam
not spatter out, and must pass through
the cloth into the pail. Probably not
one dairyman in a hundred is as par

SCIENCE IN MILKING.
Good Cows Are Frequently Ruined
by Men who DO Not Know How
60 Handle Them.

Milking is an operation which re-
nuires skill, as il 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 sh0Ald avoid handling
the COW more than is necessary, and
he should make it rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from sick to well
COW without first cleansing his hands.
The habit of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy in the extreme and
should never be practiccd. Some peo-
pie think it is necessary, but this is a
mistake. The hands should be kept
dry. II 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 tho more
they spray. the more dirt and bac'
terra they collect. Contamination
from the foremill< must be avoided 10y
discarding the first few streams
drawn. or less than gill in all. This
entails little loss. as the first milk
drawn is always poor IN butter fat
and II il happens to be badly con
taminated. as is frequently the case
much injury and trouble may be

A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon
and Ii Well Pleased.

Mr.. S. X. Lent was a delegate sent
from the farmers OF Allegan County,
Michigan, to Western Canada, to re-
port on the prospects for successful
settlement. His report is as follows:
l went from Winnipeg to Edmonton.
thence east one hundred miles by wag-
on. found the country in that vicin-
ity a rich, black loan, varying from IL
inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing feet in height. | have been
farmer for 40 years, and consider my
self fair judge of the yield OF grain,
and | saw wheat that would yield 80
bushels per acre, and oats that would
WELD 100 bushels per acre; not one
alone but a good many. As for root
crops and garden truck, in no country
have / ever seen their equal for all
kinds except corn and toma toes; the
nights being too cool for these to
ripenwell As a stock country it has
no equal. East of Edmonton, on the
head waters Of the verm;lllon River, j
! saw hay meadows containing from 10
TO 100 acres, the grass standing feet
high, and would often cut 3 to tons to
the acre. From Edmonton / passed
through some fine locations. namely,
Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other
points.
From Macleod I went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles
north of the main line. For the first
so miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more OF a
stock country. Then at Saska loon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake found some
very fine farming country. so good
that found a party Of Americans
from Minnesota buying land for them
selves--one party buying ~ sections
and the other 20 sections of land for
themselves. which they proposed tc
improve at once.
have travelled over % different
States and Territor in our Union
and never in my life time have ] evel
seen such magnificent crops and es
pecially as fine stock country.

WHAT MRS. BURDETTE BELIEVES

I believe in afternoon club life for women.
 l believe in evening club life for men and women together, when 1t does not rob the home of father and mother.
 I believe that woman has no right to undertake any work whatsoever out side of the home, along the lines of phi- lanthropy, church, temperance or club life that does not emanate from the home, and in its final and best results return to the home. Home must al ways be the center, but not the limit. of woman's life.
 I believe in equal rights in the family for father and mother in intelligence, affection and filial respect. These the club should foster.
 I believing in nine-tenths of the club members doing the work and tenth the criticisng instead of the reverse.
 I believe in individual responsibility for every interest of the club, mutual sympathy and appreciation of results.
 I believe no woman has a right to ac- cept place on any committed. unless she serve faithfully, promptly, intelli- gently, and is willing to stand by the results of her individual action.
 I believe that women should have moral responsibility regarding financial matters in the prompt payment of dues and pledges, and a comprehension that as no other phase of life can be carried on without money neither can the en- 1arged club life.
 I believe in the value of a minute, and that thievery of time on the part of one late member from those in wait ing is reprehensible. Railroad trains do not wait; why should immorta. souls?
 believe, out of consideration for others. in removing the hat in all pub lie assemblies.
 l believe in occupying the seat far thest from the aisle when there are others to come, and. for the same res- son, occupying front seats first
 I believe that club members should restrain themselves from whispering oi the rustling of skirts or paper during club sessions.
 l believe no woman should seek to use official position for elf-aggrandize- ment, or club affiliations for stepping stones only. but that she should utilize her opportunities for the altruisms or life.
 I believe the character and gooa name of each individual member of the

Prof Heilprins work on Martinique. the early issue of which is now an- nounced by the publishers, J.. B. Lip pincott Company. of Philadelphia. will be the first comprehensive survey of the recent catastrophe events occurring or that island that has been prepared by an observer on the field. Apart from its general intrinsic worth, the book acquires special significance from tIe fact that it's author is the only inves- tigator of the region of Mount Peiee who lived through one of the great cat aclysms of that famous volcano, who was permitted to make observations contemporaneously with the events that were happening. The episode of the great eruption of August 30th. of which Prof Heilprin was an observer. is made a fitting addition in the narrative to the authors accounts of his venture some ascents of the burning volcano in the early days following the anni- hilation of St. Pierre. It can be safely said that the experiences obtained on his second visit to the island hav,. never before fallen to the lot of an in- vestigator.
