WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment, i

Cooperative Co-operation.

Cooperation, when properly man
aged, results in profit to the co.opera-
tors. The problem is to manage right
ly. Some of the cooperative cream
cries in New York have up for discus
sion the question of forming @ CO.
operative socieey ct cooperative
cfeameries: So far as we are able to
learn the attempt has not eliminated
in an organization as planned. This
may be due to the fact that the mo-
tive of this combination was said to
be the virtual control of the New York
market in the matter of milk and per.
haps cream. Selfishness is poor
foundation on which to build a co.
operative movement But that there
is room for such an organization if
built on generous lines is true. We
have in some of our states manv him.
dreds of cooperative creameries. Were
an association formed of these in each
state, it could render much service tn
the cooperative creameries in exist
ence and could stimulate the founding
OF new ones. 1t could gather and dis.
tribute information of great value tn
all the creameries: It is rather snr.
prlsing that steps have not before been
taken in this direction.

The Germ Content Of Milk,

The Germ Content Of Milk.
For many years it was supposed that
milk in the udder was absolutely free
from bacteria, the superstition being
that it existed in a. sterile form as
most other fluids and secretions of
the body. This notion prevailed be-
cause of the fact that men were able
t. secure samples Of milk which kept
Indefinitely so far as appearances
were concerned. Doubtless in many
cases no tests were made of the milk
to ascertain whether any micro-organ-
lsms were present or not. The con-
clusion, therefore, concerning the ster-
ility of milk in the uGfder was q very
natural conclusion. 1t is an easy mat
ter to secure milk from the udder of a
COW which will to all appearances keep
very satisfactorily, and, in my own
experience, SO per cent of the samples
taken under sterile conditions from
the udder will not undergo a change
of any kind unless it is slight deposit
ton Of the suspended constituents in
the milk. More recent work, however,
has demonstrated that micro-organ-
isms are quite commonly found in milk
as milk exists in the udder, sometimes
in quite large numbers but not all of
these micro-organisms are capable of
producing apparent changes. Some of
them are obnoxious, however, and
probably lead to undesirable fermen-
tations-Prof. Chas. E. Marshall.

In Favor Of Anqoras,

Live stock breeders know that an,
animal must be properly cared for Il
he is expected to be profitable, say,
w. c. Bailey. The idea that an An
CORA goat requires no sheds, no care
no winter feeding, but only an eight
foot perpendicular fence and plac,
to run, originates in the mind of tn,
person who has never handled do
nestle animals. Cattle or sheep mer
would not expect to turn cattle OF
sheep loose and derive much of q
profit from them, nor would they ex
pect to start with a large number Of
animals of whose habits and require
ments they knew little, unless the,
had an experienced man to care fol
them. Angora goats do require a per
pendicular fence about thirty-si1
inches high, and one which they can
not crawl through or under. The,
will rarely jump over a fence unles:
trained to do so. Good, warm, dr.,
sheds are necessary in damp, colo
climates, and plenty of freedom and
exercise are essential. Low, wet
marshy ground is sunfit goat pasture
and the beginner who makes thu
greatest success with goats will com
mence with a comparatively small!
number of selected animals, whose
habits and whose welfare he consid
ers. Goats do not interfere with the
pasturage of cattle or sheep, as the
Angora is browser and not a grazer
Some of the central cattle breeders
have discovered that few goats in q
cattle pasture will keep weeds and
brush down and the fence lines clean
and that they make their winter liv
ing out Of the excess of food which
the cattle leave. j.
