A Milking Glove Tube.

In Australia there has been brought
into use in the diaries what is called a
milking glove tube. A valve fits over
the teat and from the valve extends
long narrow tube, which conveys the
milk from the teat into a covered pail.
The oriices in the cover of the pail
are just large enough to receive the
tubes. We illustrate the general idea
herewith. From an American point
OF view the device does not seem prac
tlcable. From Australian reports we
take 1t that the invention is supposed
TO be substitute for clean
illness in the dairy. A paper
In that country says: Many of the
troubles OF dairying are caused t. the
Injurious microbes that are carried by
dirt into the milk, and it has been rec
commended by various authorities to
groom the cows and wash their udders

An unusual sight was witnessed at
q funeral at Horsell, England. the body
being drawn TO the ehurchyard in a
sour-wheeled farm wagon. painted red
and blue, and attached to which were
a couple of farm horses. The funeral
was that of Richard Brettell, solicitor.
OF Chertsey, and it was his last request
that he should be conveyed in this
manner to his grave. The journey from
Chertsey to Horsell occupied two and
q half hours. and six farm laborers
walked by the wagon the whole dis
tance. in addition to which they bore
the coffin from the vehicle into the
church.

is no hatred or prejudice against them.
The same is true of the Jews. Both
races live at peace with their Turkish
neighbors, and are allowed to wor-
ship God in their own way without
interference, and are never compelled
to endure such prosecutions as have
been suffered by the Armenians for
centuries. The explanation of this is
that Greeks and Jews never NEEDLE in
politics, while the Armenians are con

Since the massacres every Armenian
has been discharged from the employ
of the government and very generally
from the employment OF private
Turks. Before 1896 and as far back as
anyone can remember Armenians held
the most important subordinate posi-
lions under the government because
of their executive ability, particularly
in the financial department, where
they are very strong, but now the vim

Poultry BRIEFS.

Not the least among the advantages
OF this invention is the being able to
determine the laying period of the
hens A fowl that begins to lay in
November and produces her eggs
during the period when eggs are high
in price is far more valuable than a
fowl that begins to lay on the first of
February and drops most of her eggs
in the spring and early summer, when
eggs are being disposed of at very
low price. The phenomenal winter
layer, unless discovered by the trap
nest, stands good chance of having
her head cut of at the end of the lay
ing season, when, in fact, she should
be kept as a breeder. The trap nest
makes it possible for the breeder to
become personally well acquainted
with each member OF his flock.
No invention of this day has in 1t
greater possibilities for the poultry
man than has the trap nest The
drone In the flock OF hens has always

with soap and clean water, and wipe
them with a clean towel; to require the
mixers to wash their hands and heads,
to brush and trim their nails, to wear
clean clothes, to put on white overalls
and caps at the time of milking, to
construct the floor of milking yard and
shed of asphalt, and to wash or sweep
1t after each milking, and to frequent
ly tar and limewash both it and the
woodwork or the shed; also to disin-
fect the shed occasionally with chlori-
mated lime. 1t has also been advised
not to feed the COWS in the milking
shed. All these are undoubtedly i'm
portant steps, and if they could be car
ried into practice would result in great
improvement in dairy work. But how
far are they practicable? Farmers who
have heard these recommendations
have expressed the opinion that if
dairying is to require all this they had
better give up dairying at once" We
do not believe that any device can
take the place of cleanliness in the
dairy; and, moreover, a device of this
kind will be very difficult to keep
clean.

The trap nests show not only how
many eggs the fowls lay bat the kind
OF eggs. It sometimes becomes de-
sirable to know what hens lay eggs
with certain colored shells. This is
particularly so IN breeds that have
been created by the crossing Of other
breeds. as such produce eggs varying
all the way from white to dark brown.
The trap nest enables the breeder to
determine what kinds lay the eggs OF
the desired color. Then, too, the pre-
potent birds can be distinguished and
those whose eggs are habitually fer
tile. This is a most important point.

been the factor that has kept down
profits. IL man has a herd OF COWS
and some Of them are poor mixers
1t is easy to detect the poor ones and
dispose OF them. Up to the time the
trap nest was invented, the poultry
man had no way Of finding out which
OF his hens were the drones and which
were the good layers. With the COM
ing Of the trap nest, all is changed.
The poultryman can now eliminate
the improbable birds.
One man that has tried has found
the trap nest very serviceable. 1t
showed him that some Of his most
worthless specimens were those the
most perfect in form. Some of the
kinds that scored high in competitive
exhibits proved to be almost worth
less as layers. At least 20 per cent
Of the fowls so tested proved to be
losing money for their owner, while
as many more ere shown to be bare
ly clearing expenses. A few of the
birds showed themselves to be per-
sistent layers. and these were kept for
breeders.

The Senate has devoted the past
week TO the ship subsidy bill, and the
bill for the defence of the President,
the former of which is the regular
"order OF business, and on which a
vote will be taken March II. The dis
cussion 50 far has been characterized
by an able presentation of the merits
of the measure by Senator Frye, and
speech by Senator Hanna, whose
plain, business like statement of the
advantages to be derived by it was ex-
ceptionaily forcible. Senator Clay, OF
Georgia, opposed the bill in a speech
which lasted four hours, but which was
largely repetition of the oft-refuted
arguments presented by the democrats
when the bill was considered by the
last Congress. Senator Bacon has
also argued against the bill for the de-
fence of the President, claiming that
the measure is an extension OF the law
regarding treason, and therefore out
side the province of Congress.

The House has been the scene of an
interesting and spirited debate on the
bill providing for the substitution oil

the naaag nent of the rural free de-
livery. Party lines have not been
drawn in the contest, but much feel
ing has been displayed and it is i'm
possible TO tell what will be the out
come. 1t is probable that the com
mittee on postofiees and post roads
will be Instructed TO report a revised
bill maintaining the service on the
salary basis.
