THE CARE OF cows.

George M. Whitaker of the New
England Farmer attended the recent
annual meeting of the Maine Dairy
mems Association in Dover and made
an interesting report, from which we
quote as follows:
Good COWS, good care, cleanliness
and instantaneous cooling" George H.
Ellis of Massachusetts pronounces to
be the requisites for good milk, with
especial emphasis on the latter, in
Simultaneous cooling. In his practice,
the milk is poured as each COW is milk
ed into a mixer in an adjoining room,
and then run at once over a cooler, so
that the temperature is Ii dnced to a
little below 10 degrees within five mln-
utes of being drawn from the COW.
Milk so treated will keep almost in
definitely.
Mr Ellis barns and methods have
been described many times in these
columns so that l will not repeat. He
is now selling from 1900 to 2OO0 quarts
of five per cent milk and As quarts
of cream daily He gets nine cents
per quart for the milk. Under ordinary
conditions he would feed no corn meal,
putting all of the corn plant into the
silo. when the ears are well glazed
Grow the largest corn that will mature
in YOUR locality. Mr.. Ellis has criti-
cal trade, but no fault is ever found
with ensilage milk. Nh Ellis is intro
ducing the card catalogue system in
keeping the record of his animals. 1T
saves three or four books ',and is con-
venient MI Ellis raises about so
calves per year and figures that under
his conditions calf can be raised to 30
months old for inside Of $40, While 1T
would cost $50 for inferior animals to
buy at Brighton such mich cows as he
wants. His herd averages about 5000
pounds of milk per year. Some OF Mr.
Ellis epigrammatic sentences were:
sThe feeding value of turnips is low, but
they are a good tonic. Exercise is also a
good tonic :.
sClover hay is the best for milch cows .
'sNaver measure COW by the time she
goes dry but by the years record
''Weed out all Improbable animals, be
they young or old keep COW as long as
she is profitable"
''With real good hay | would not iced
grain when cows are dry"
"COnSumerS must be educated to pay
good price for a good article.
s'Take care of tuberculosis by wedding
out diseased animals by use OF tuberculln.
Dent cook the germs by sterilization"
Build the cattle barn separate from the
stor ge barn.
''Have plenty of air. Frozen water in
the morning is of less concern than close,
stuffy atmosphere
s.Feed grain as it will repay. Feed
larger amounts when the cows make
profitable return therefor"

THEY FACED DEATH.
Four Men Floating in Small Boat Off The
Maine Coast Bailed Water Sixteen Hours.

Four Men Floating in a Small Boat Off The
Maine Coast Bailed Water Sixteen Hours.
BooTHBAY HARBOR, ME-, Dec. 18th.
Four men who were brought to this
port to-day tell thrilling tale of ship
wreck, hardship and privation. They
were Capt. Taylor and three men COM
posing the crew OF the Deer Isle schOon-
er Hattie S. Collins, which foundered in
the gale that prevailed off this coast
Friday, The distressed men were
brought here from Monhegan island on
the schooner Effort, Capt. Humphreys
in command.
Capt. Taylor says that the Collins
was bound from Deer Isle to Boston
with a cargo of granite. On Friday,
Dec. II. when about five miles south
southeast of Seguin, the vessel foun-
dered. The wind was blowing at a ter
rife rate and the seas were mountain
Gus. For many hours previous to the
sinking of the schooner the men had
been hard at work at the pumps in
vain endeavor to keep the craft above
water
When it was seen that the Collins
was doomed Capt. Taylor, N. Pressey,
the mate, and o. A. Libby and Thomas
Robbins, the two seamen, launched a
small boat. 1t took them 16 hours to
reach shore. At times it seemed as If
the frail craft would be smashed to
kindling by the great waves. The seas
broke over the boat, filling it with
water and causing the occupants in
tense discomfort. The men were forced
to bail continually in order to keep
! afoat. They were drenched to the skin
and the cold weather caused their gar
ments to freeze. Fortunately for the
men their exertions kept them from
being frozen to death.
Sixteen hours after the schooner
foundered the men managed to reach
the shore of Monhegan island. They
were in thoroughly exhausted con,
dition and they say that # they had
been obliged to stay at sea few hours
longer they would have persisted. -.
The residents on the island afforded
the shipwreeked sailors every aid and
comfort possible. and they were brought
to this port at the earliest opportunity.
The schooner Hattie S. Collins was
built at East Haven, Conn.,, in 1867. She
had a tonnage of 122 gross and 116 net.
She was owned at Deer Isle, Me.
