A Mechanical Mixer.


The latest milking machine is here
pictured in outline. 1t requires an ell
CINE or other power to drive It In or
der to work the vacuum air pump To-
Gated at some convenient point From
this a line of iron gas pipe Is run
above the stalls in the milking shed.
This pipe is used only to exhaust the
air In the milk buckets. No liquid
passes through 1t. A small branch pipe
terminating in hook fs fitted to the
main pipe and hangs over the stall
about two feet above the cows back.
The bucket is shown In the figure
and Is air tight. the top being closed
with a lid, clamped securely in place
by simply raising the handle to lift the
bucket. AL that is needed to make
connection is the mere hanging of the
bucket on the pipe above the cow by
a hook attached to the milk pail for
that purpose, as shown In the cut.
This is an ordinary pail with tight
lid and glass peepholes down the sides

tube runs to the cups attached to the
cows teats. Between the cups is a
valve and chamber about the size of a
hens egg which really constitutes the
effective part Of the machine
The machine is set to work by a sim
pie turn of the valve and the suction

It u well understood that the eggs
laid during the winter are, to certain
extent at least, a forced production.
This being the case, 1t Is hardly fair
to expect that the fowl who has turn
ed out goodly supply Of eggs during
the winter can keep It up during the
summer. 1t Is questionable If 1t would
be advisable to force the winter lay
ing fowl to continue during the sum-
mer. II the bird is to be counted as
among the layers the following win
ter she should be allowed the period Of
rest during most of the summer; that
Is, she should not be fed SO as to force
egg production. but her food should be
sufficiently liberal and sufficiently va
ried to keep her in good shape 10 go
into winter quarters prepared to lay.
The poultryman who has not received
from his fowls the number Of eggs he
should have had during the winter
ought to make an effort to get even
during the summer, the natural season
for the hen to lay. This cannot be
done by simply turning the hens out on
the range, for they must be granted
and properly cared for. Handle them
as you would the fowls for winter egg
production. 1t will not be expensive,
for most Of their living will be obtain
ed on the range and, unless eggs are
very low In price, you will receive
enough from the supply to pay well
for the extra food and care.

Horses fed literally, If not well exs
ercised, will often get of their feed.
The skill of the feeder must remedy
this. Every one having the care Of
stock of any kind should bear In mind
that all troubles Of appetite and Of
the digestive organs are generally
chargeable to the feeder rather than
the animal. Regularity, keen judg-
ment and strict attention are the med
iclne" the feeder of stock needs to ad-
minister.

The silence of the sickroom is &C.
casionally broken by hacking cough,
due to the gathering of phlegm In the
pope's throat. These coughing spells
have the effect of rousing the pontiff,
causing him to open his eyes and re-
vive slightly. When the doctors were
examining him this morning, believing
he was in a stupor, his holiness sud
denly fixed his eyes, even now bright
and by no means lifeless, on them,
saying:
"This time, doctor, you will not win
in your brave fight with DEATH
at is your holiness who Is brave"
replied Dr. Lapponi, but before the re-
mark was uttered the pope was again
unable to understand what was said.
Although it is really impossible to
say who will be the successor Of Pope
Leo to the chair of st. Peter until after
the college of cardinals has met in
solemn conclave and chosen the new
pope from one of their number, at the
same time several Of the cardinals
have been picked out by the general
public as being stronger papal posi-
bilities than the rest. First among
these is Cardinal Gotti, who is said to
be Leo's own choice. It will be re-
membered that before the pope's deth
Mgr. Gotti was closeted with the dying
pontiff, who is believed to have given
him parting instructions as to the ad-
ministration of church affairs. Car
dinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of
state, has always been regarded as one
of those very near the throne" and
his chances of succeeding Leo are con-
sidered very bright. Although these
two are generally considered the first
possibilities, at the same time there
is large body Of Catholics who think
that the choice lies between Cardinals
Oreglia, Satolli and Vanuntelli. Any
one Of the above named may be
chosen for the great work, and on the
other hand the new pope may be a
quite outside of this group.
Choosing a Pope.
Following the announcement of the
pope's death the cardinal camerlingo
knocked thrice on the door of his bed
chamber. Getting no answer, he en-
tered and knocked thrice with silver
mallet on the dead mans forehead and
called him thrice by name. He then
declared to the world that the pope
Is dead.
The body is then embalmed, and !
after mass has been said over 1t in
the presence of the cardinals it is re-
moved to st. Peters, where 1t lies in
state for nine days, when the funeral
proper takes place. The next step is
the election Of new pope. He is
chosen by the conclave, body or
composed Of cardinals and
other high church dignitaries.
They occupy special quarters in the
vatican, isolated from the rest of the
buildings and from the outer world by
the walling up Of every door and win
dow and aperture. Each cardinal has
a separate room, which Is drawn by
lot. With their servants they muster
about 200 souls. All these men are
sworn to secrecy. While the gathering
lasts they are forbidden all inter-
course with the outside world. They
even cook their own food in a COM
mon kitchen.

Science and Farming.


If you tell the average Missouri
farmer that he ought to use a little
more science In his business. he will
reply that the advocates Of scientific
methods are mere theorists; that they
do very well in their way, but they
can't teach practical agriculturist
anything In his line. Robert H. Kern,
a st. Louis lawyer, has lately given the
conservative farmers Of Macon County
a lesson IN scientific agriculture that
has opened their eyes. In settling an
estate he came into possession of some
almost worthless city property. This
he traded for some land In Macon
County which seemed almost equally
valueless. The larger part of 1t was
under water most Of the time, and
good crop never had been raised on 1t.
MIR. Kern called In an engineer and
had him make plans for drainage
system. Then no called In a farmer
who understood the science Of agrlcul-
ture and put him to work. The land
was drained perfectly, bog became a
hne meadow, and where a swamp had
been from time immemorlal bumper
corn crop was raised. Now that farm,
which, when Mr.. Kern got 1t, would
mrdly have brought IS per acre, Is
worth $50 per acre. Ten thousand dol
lars worth OF corn was raised on 1t
last year. 1t Is said half the dwellers
In the Charlton bottoms are now talk
ing about hiring scientific engineers as
farm hands.-Kansas City journal.
