one end of the tube attach a bicycle
pump; to the other end fasten rub
Der tube and to this, fasten milking
tube to be inserted into the orifice OF
the teat. The tin tube mentioned
above is to act as sterilizer for which
purpose it is filed with absorbent
cotton. Having filled the tube WITH
cotton, wrap it in five or six layers OF
newspaper and put it into an oven
just hot enough to bake cake: Leave
the tube filed with cotton in the oven
for about one hour and the small
glass tubes which pass through the
corks fitted into either end of the tin
tube, should be plugged with small
Wad of cotton. The rubber tube con-
Meeting the milking tube to the tin
tube and the milking tube itself should
be sterilized by immersion in solu-
ton of carbolic acid, and then care
fully attached to the glass tube pass
ing through the cork when it is ready
for use. The bicycle pump attached
to the other end of the tin tube is
used simply to force air through the
tube contained the sterilized cotton
and into the udder. 1t has been known
to the medical profession for years
that cotton is perfect filterer OF air;
that is, whenever air filters through
cotton, the germs it contains are hello
in the meshes of the latter. The
strength of the carbolic acid solution
for the sterilization of the articles
mentioned, according to DIR. Water
man, should be about three table
spoonsful of carbolic acid to one pint
of water.
We have recently noticed that this
method has been tried by great
many dairymen and that it has proved
effective; in fact, since the advent OF
the air treatment, milk fever is no
longer dreaded. Every dairyman
should provide himself with the ap-
paratus described and have it ready
at all times so as to be prepared for
emergencies. A bicycle pump can be
purchased for from 35c to soc, and the
tin tube can be made by any timer.

How the Ballots Must be Marked-Legal
Opinion on the Subject.-In view of the fact
that il is conceded generally that the result OF
the election in Maryland depends to q certain
extent upon the number of ballots thrown out,
Attorney General VIM. s. Bryan, Jr., on Mon
dav, sent the following letter to Mr.. w. Starr
Gephart counsel to the Supervisors OF Elec-
tons of Baltimore city, in response to a letter
from Mr.. Gephart: :,
Dear Sir: II beg to state that agree with
YOU in the following conclusions under the
MARYLAND Election law:
(al If voter should make Ossmark (A)
opposite the surnames of the Presidential and
Vice Presidential candidates Of party and also
should make q cross-mark (X) opposite the
name of one or more of the candidates for
Presidential elector Of the same party the
vote could be counted only for the elector OPP
posite whose individual-name the ballot was
marked. For example. If voter should make
a cross. mark (X) opposite the surnames OF Par
ker and Davis. the Democratic nominees for
President and Vice. President, and should also
make q crossmark (X) opposite the name OF
Mr.. Frank Brown. one of the Democratic can
didates for Presidential elector, the ballot
would count for Mr.. Frank Brown, but for no
other elector.
(bl If voter should make cross-mark (Xl
opposite the surnames OF the PRESIDENTIAL and
Vice Presidential candidates OF one political
marty and should also make cr0ss-mark Ky
opposite the name of one or more OF the can
didates for Presidential elector OF some other
party the whole ballot would be thrown out.

Dead Cats in Church Burial Ground
Justice Neumayer Says They Can Stay
There.-Has the owner of lot in a cemetery
the legal right to bury his or her dog or cat in
the lot? This momentous question, as far as it
refers to the cat has been settled by Justice
Neumayer, of the 14th district. He says that
lot owners have this privilege, and when Mrs.
Sarah Rice was brought before him charged
with burying her two cats beside her husband,
the late Theodore HI. Rice, he dismissed the
For two months the residents of Parkville,
Hartford road. where the cemetery is in which
repose in close proximity the bodies of Mrs.
Rice's husband and cats, have been much ex-
ercised over Mrs. Rice's action, which they
term q dissertation. Every means of persua-
sion was tried upon Mrs Rice. Other lot-own-
ers protested to the trustees of the cemetery
which is attached to Hiss Methodists Episco-
pal Church. The members of the congregation
tried to use their influence, but Mrs. Rice is a
Baptist, and their wishes carried little weight
with her.
Mrs. Rice says that her cats were pets, and
she cannot understand why the people are OPP
posed to the presence of their bodies in the
cemetery.
Although the cats bodies have lain in the
cemetery for more than two months and all
efforts to have them removed have failed, the
people of the vicinity have not become recon-
ciled, and they still hope that their persistent
appeals to Mrs. Bice will be needed.
Another feature of the case, in which the
neighbors are not however, so much concern
ed. is the fact. admitted by Mrs. Rice, that she
killed the cats because after her husband g
death she decided to move to the city, where
she thought they would not be happy. She
could find no one in the country who would
give the pets the kind treatment which they
had enjoyed at her hands, so she poisoned them
and buried them as stated.
Hiss Church is an appointment of Great
Falls Circuit of which Rev. Frank r. Isaac is
the senior pastor. The trustees of the church
are Messrs. Thomas Gorsuch of c., Charles P.
Ehrhardt @. Howard Amoss, Benjamin F.
Parlett William BarDikow. George w. Gram
mer and Henry Fuller.

How to Keep Seed Potatoes.-An au.
thority on this subject says the ideal method
of keeping seed potatoes Is in cold storage.
Potatoes thus kept at the Ohio Station have
come out sound and fresh, with no indication
so late as the let of June. 1t is important,
however, that the temperature of the cold
storage room should not fall below IS degrees,
nor should it rise much above 40 degrees.
When cold storage is not available, spr0uting
may be in some measure prevented by shovel
ing the potatoes over frequently.
