Beyond the cities where life throbs and

RADIUM CHANGES TO
HELIUM IN FEW DAYS

LONDON. jan 23.--Sir William Ram
sey. this noted chemist, in lecture stated
that metal radium can change into helum.
The heavy gas emitted by radIum shows
at first in the spectrum analysis the lines
OF radium; the spectrum of the gas, how
ever. II inclosed in a tube, gradually
changes till the distinct spectrum of hell
um becomes visible The changing process
begins on the fourth and ends on the 18th
day. 1t has, therefore, been observed for
the first time how one element changes
into another. Professor Ramsey expressed
the opinion that all elements, perhaps,
change slowly, but that man does not live
long enough TO observe the change. Sir
William Ramsey and the chemist Soddy
are now examining more minutely how
much helium can be formed from radium
and how long the changing process lasts.

HAS MUCH RESPONSIBILITY
The Man Who Milks Cows Can Be
Either Protector or an Enemy
of His Fellows

When a man is milking he should
bear in mind that he is handling food
product which will undoubtedly be
placed on the tables of many people in
essentially the same condition that it is
obtained from him, says Prof. E. H.
harrington. He should be just as par
ticular and as careful when milking to
supply his customers or for a factory
as he is when filing the glass pitcher
which his wife or child brings him
when milking and asks to have it filled
for his own supper table.
Milk and it's products are, as rule,
used raw with all the impurities that
may have got into them on the way
from the cow to the table and the con-
sumner does not like to be reminded of
these possibilities of contamination by
the appearance of the milk when he
gets it. Milk is sometimes source
of positive danger to community, as
it has been demonstrated that diseases
may be spread by this food product
from one farm to many households.
When such contagious diseases as sty-
phoid fever, diphtheria and scarlet
fever occdr in a family selling milk,
the fact should at once be made known
to the proper authorities: f.

SYSTEM IN COOLING MILK
Upon the Proper Performance of This
Task Depends the Success of the
Butter Makers,

II the shallow, or open system, as it
is called, is used, strain the milk as
soon as it is drawn, first through
wire strainer and then through a thin
cloth or muslin. The amount of sedi-
ment that adheres to the cloth will be a
surprise, unless the mixers have been
unusually careful. Milk should not be
covered for at lea-t half an hour in
summer and ten minutes in winter, thus
allowing all animal matter to escape. II
the habit has been GO cover the vessels
Immediately after the milk is strained,
where wooden covers are used. unless
they are cleaned daily, they become
dark and discolored by absorption Of
vapors, and an unpleasant smell or odor
is impaired to the milk and cream.
; The temperature at which milk is
kept should be as inform as possible,
A stone dairy house is better than any

temperature as is possible during warm
weather. If ice cannot be had, then
the vessels should be immersed, to at
least half their depth, in cold water.
which should be changed twice a day.
or oftener if the weather is excessively
hot
A long wooden tx or trench of stone
or cement is best adapted for this pur-
pose, where one does not possess a
creamer. The water is drawn of
through an orifice at one end of the box.
If the water can be led into it by a pipe
from spring, and constant current
kept up, an ideal creamer will be the
result. Trenches should be cleansed oc-
casionallY with washing soda or lye.

skinned when the first sign of acidity
is detected, and not left until thick or

Advantages of Irrigation.

The irrigated area is growing larger
rapidly. This is SO particularly in the
arid regions. In time the enlargement
will become general. Irrigation is nec-
essary where there is little or no rain
fall, but that does not argue that it
should not be provided for even in Sec
tons in which the rainfall is fairly re-
liable. 1t costs less to provide irriga-
ton where rains are abundant because
smaller supplies of water need to be
stored. When water is needed, even
Athin the rain belt, it must he provided
or the crops are lost. There is a drought
now and then in the best watered Sec
