having carefully hidden it on leaving
the ship in his kit-bag of unused socks.

Although the dogs were still weaken

on December 80 latitude 50 degrees II
minutes south, longitude 1853 degrees
east was reached, and here the British
flag was hoisted at the most southerly
point yet reached in this world. To the
eastward the Barrier surface stretched
away to the horizon, dead white plain
of ice and snow; to the westward rose
the great snowy mountains, running up
to A. 900 feet, with glaciers flowing from
them towards the east. To the south ex-
tended this range of mountains as far as
eye could see.
Had it been possible. we could have
travelled many miles in south-by-east
direction, but although Capt. Scott
wished to penetrate still further into the
unknown, the health of the party, the
lack of provisions, the uselessness of the
dogs and the bad weather necessitated
the return; so, through soft snow, fog
and drift the party made their way back,

contests at the dairy shows are useful
and commendable. Many parts of Eu-
rope have the additional advantage OF
keeping the cows in the fields con-
tinuously the greater part of the year
and milking them in the open air.
This practice does much to insure
clean milk and pure products.
The care which is given to milk on
the farm where produced, whether 1t
is to go to a milk market or to be
made into butter or cheese, with the To-
cation, construction and arrangement
of dairies or milk rooms, their equip
ment and management, show great va
riety and lack of uniformity in every
country. The good, the bad, and the
Indifferent are common to all. Good
milk rooms, well located, thoroughly
built, shaded, cool, and we'll kept, are
not hard to find in any dairy district.
Construction is heavier and more dur
able in Europe; convenience and ease
of management are common in Amer
lea. Excepting Denmark and Sweden,
no country compares with America in
the general appreciation and use of
cold water and ice in the care of milk.
The almost entire absence Of refriger-
alton in France, and the general ig-
noring of the value of cold in dairy
ing, is truly astonishing. In the mat

They were frustrated by an ice cliff 70
feet high that blocked their way to the
shore, though for three hours the party
crossed erevasses of snow, lowering and
helping each other down the icy slopes
in their endeavor to do this.
Snow-blindness, which attacked the
party, in spite of goggles worn, continu-
ally added to the trouble, especially to
DR.. Wilson. On reaching the depot
again, everything was done to tighten
the sledges, as the scurvy symptoms
which had appeared made it necessary
for every precaution to be taken; and
Capt. Scott, after general consultation,
decided to return direct to the ship, in
stead of exploring the land to the north
west.
The poor dogs had for some time been
useless, just walking alongside the
sledges. Those which were too weak to
follow through the billiards fell by the
way and had to be left; the last two,
being diseased by scurvy, had to be
killed; and the party made their way
back to the ship without any.
On January Is broke down owing to
overstrain, and hemorrhage started,
which was naturally a rather serious
matter, as the party was ITO miles from
the ship. was, however, able to march
the nine or ten miles a day that the
party made. The work Of pulling the
sledges at this juncture devolved On
Capt Scott and DR.. Wilson, and it was
trying time, they having to drag at one
time ITO pounds each. Fortunately, the
party was assisted by the strong winds
from the south, and sail was able to
be made on the sledges for part of the
time.
On February 3 the party was sighted
from the ship, and willing hands pulled
the sledges to their destination.
And so ended what seemed to me re-
markable journey. We had approached
to within APO miles of the south pole, a
nearer point than had ever before been
reached by man.

Though the prophesies are for fuller
skirts, street skirts will not immediate
ly show flamboyancy other than at the
bottom. Tucks and plaits prevail, as
last year, and the close fit over the hips
is still the mode Street skirts are quite
short enough to display the stout boots,
and are walking skirts in fact as well
as name. Coats are long and yet longer,
the three-quarter length being much
preferred to the short jacket that has
had the lead, for so many years. Some
of the coats are princess in form, many
are skirted. The belt giving the French
curve is seen on almost all, and is a
touch that adds very considerably to the
modernness of the garment.
While most skirts of the present day
are unlined, the silk drop-skirt is

rumored that the sloping shoulder of the
persistent 1880 modes will dominate,
and that the fur boa and collarette, to

time, may be extended into the quaint,
old-fashioned pelerine. Brocades, which

queer Neighbors in a Tree.

John Widgeon, the field collector of
the Maryland Academy of Sciences, says
that birds and reptiles sometimes live
in close proximity to each other. "Sev-
eral years ago while exploring Kent is
land, 1 ventured up 40-foot hickory
tree to inspect large fishhawk's nest.
When almost to the nest was surprised
to see an enormous black snake wrapped
around the heavy stick at the bottom
of the bulky nest. The snake, although
at such an unusual distance from the
ground, did not lose its presence of mind,
but dropped gracefully from limb to
limb until it reached the ground. Con-
tinuing to the nest, l found large
family of field mice. Above this was
a nest full of little sparrows, and upon
the top of the hawks nest there were
three young hawks just hatching."-

the United States is surpassed by no
other country, although Denmark and
parts of Great Britain stand about as
well.
The business of transporting, caring
for, and distributing milk for con-
sumption in it's natural state and for
household purposes seems to be in
every possible stage of development
In different parts of the world. Cows
or their substitutes are driven through
the streets and MIXED at customers
doors in British India and the West
Indies. Mich goats are managed in
the same way even in the best streets
of Paris and Rome. The milk service
OF villages and small towns is con-
Quoted in an exceedingly crude, yet
often picturesque, manner in some of
the Oldest dairying regions of Europe
In Scotland, Holland, Denmark and
Switzerland milk is still carried in
wooden vessels and retailed from them
in towns and cities. The local milk
service in similar places in the Unit
ed States is often poor enough, with
little regard for care or cleanliness,
but nowhere as crudely performed In
most of the big cities of Europe there
are large market milk establishments,
admirably conducted. There are fine
ones in London, better in Copenhagen,
and the biggest and best of all in Ber-
lin. Paris probably has the poorest
milk service of any of the large cities.
There was time, not many years ago
when few foreign milk supply es-
adjustments far exceeded in many re-
spects the best of like character to be
found in America. But at the present
time, although some of these European
milk companies do larger business
and have more extensive and costly
plants, it is the opinion of the writer
that we have in the United States a
for city milk supply which are superior
in many respects.
1t is well worthy of note that at a
special show of perishable dairy prod
ucts held as an annex to the Paris ex-
position, in July, 1900, just outside the
city limits, where French producers
had every opportunity of exhibiting
their goods in the best possible shape
(although under unfavorable local
conditions after reaching the exhibit)
there was a large collection of natural
milk and cream. But the only sam

The foregoing facts and conditions
as to dairying in the old world apply
mainly to countries land districts in
them) where dairying has been for
several centuries one of the leading
agricultural industries, if not the prin-
cipal one American dairying has
been developed wholly within one
century, and all of its notable prog
ress has been within so years. The
comparisons made show that there is
little for us to learn from foreign
countries to improve our dairying.

reach the south pole, but to
investigate Antarctic conditions as far
south as it was possible to reach. To
reach the furthest point south that was
possible was the object of the sledge
journey made by Capt. Scott, DR.. Will

AS the sun gradually rose above the

beginning of October Capt Scott, with a
couple of officers, laid depot beyond the
bluff about so miles south of the ship,
doing the journey there and back cover
157 miles) in eight days through soft
snow and across dangerous crevasses.
On the same journey, owing to the dogs
suddenly jibbing, being unwilling to
face one of these crevasses, a man fell
in. He hung by his harness, and he was
soon pulled up again; but the harness
was found to be stranded. Fortunately
it held, although half an hour after
wards, while on level ground, he gave
it an extra pull, and the whole thing
carried away. 1t was lucky escape, for

amount of cheap labor. In other
countries, as well as Denmark, much
attention is paid to cleaning the cow
stables, but the conclusion has been
forced upon us that this is done more
from an appreciation of the value Of
all farm manurial matter and the
fixed habit of saving it than from any
knowledge or intention of cleanliness
as of prime Importance in dairying.
This is especially shown by the fact
that cows are MIXED in just about as
careless and uncleanly a manner in
Great Britain and all over Europe as,
it must unfortunately be confessed, is
the common practice in the United
States. The very general use of women
as mixers in all foreign dairy dis
tricts is decided advantage; they are
vastly better than the average farm
laborer, who does all sorts of work
during the day. Much attention is be-
ing given, especially in England, to
perpetuate the custom of employing
women instead of men for milking,
and to maintain the efficiency Of milk
maids; the popular public milking

one seems to know definitely what we
may expect. For some time past there
has been a movement toward pushing
the fullness up the arm, and many of the
summer frocks have shown considerable
fullness at the shoulder and suggestions
of the oldtime gigot shape.
The yoke is seen, too, upon some OF
the smartest of the new shirt waists and
separate blouses; but here it does not,
as rule, take the extreme pelerine
form and is more like the oldtime shirt
waist yoke, only with some device to
lengthen the shoulder line slightly

These turbans are round, of medium
height, and very simply trimmed, con-
sorting well with the tailor costumes
described above. Made of white felt
splashed with black velvet, or of black

either for morning or afternoon wear.
For evening, they are little severe.
Plumes and quilts, used so much during
the summer, remain in fashion, the
white plume on the black hat is still in
good style, and a single black quill on

son of the methods in vogue
in this country and Europe
may be of practical benefit to
those interested in the subject, and
should also prove gratifying to Amer
lean pride, so far superior are our
methods when compared with those
of Europe.
To begin with, the housing and care
of dairy cows from which the public
must secure their milk and milk prod
ucts, no foreign country shows, as a
rule, in general practice, any methods
or conditions better than those of
America. The average conditions
everywhere are bad enough, with OPP
portunities for very great improve
ment; but such improvement is being
made as rapidly in this country as
anywhere. Nowhere else is there a
better appreciation of the Importance
and economy of abundant room, light,
air, dryness, comfort, and cleanliness
for cows. One hears much of the close
relations between the dairy cows and
the families of their owners in Hol-

land and Switzerland, connecting
apartments, under the same roof, etc.;
but the stables which are seen in sum-
mer converted into Conservatives and
rooms for weaving and cheese curing
are the exceptional and show places.
Even the best of these, when visited in
midwinter, with the cattle in place,
are often dark, close, i'll ventilated,
crowded and insanitary in many re-
spects, although frequently kept clean.
The construction of cow stables gen.
orally in the dairy regions Of the old
world is of a substantial kind, but
with little regard to light and ventila-
ton, convenience of arrangement, or
ease in cleaning. The labor necessary
to keep them in decent condition
would be regarded as impossible in
this country. The cowhouses of Den
mark average the best of all in Eu-
rope, but they are no better in any re-
spect than the average of those in the
distinctively dairy districts of this
country, and there is here far more
regard for economy of labor in man.

there was no bottom to be seen in that

November 2, it was decided to start the
