be removed together with the attached
Is inches of ruber hose, at the free end
of which is the self-retaining milking
tube, for the purpose of disinfection
before treating the case. The pulling
on or off of the tubing on the nozzles
of the milled caps is thus rendered I'M
necessary. Within the metal cylin-
der is a wira net, which prevents the
obstruction of the outlet of the cham

disinfectant can be purchased from
the drug trade in most localities, and
is BETTER though slightly more eXpen-
sive, than the plain cotton.
Previous to making the air lnJec-
ton, the hands of the operator should
be thoroughly cleansed and the udder
should receive the same careful anti
septic treatment as has been recon-
mended in discussing the injection OF
potassium iodide. Soap and water
should be applied to the teats and I'D
der, after which they should be care
fully disinfected with 5 per cent so
luton of carbolic acid 6 tablespoon
fuls of pure carbOlic acid to quart OF
water. A clean towel should then be
placed under the udder to prevent the
teats from coming in contact with
dirt or filth of any kind. The milk
ing tube before it is placed in the
teat, should have been perfectly ster-
ilized by boiling for fifteen minutes,
with the lower hose and cap attached
and the apparatus should be wrapped
in clean towel, without touching the
milking tube, to prevent cOntamna-
ton before use. If the apparatus has
been subjected to this treatment short
ly before and it is desired to disinfect
only the milking tube, the latter may
be placed in per cent solution of
carbolic acid for five minutes. 1t is
then carefully inserted into the milk
duct of the teat without emptying the

from the bulb into the reservoir and
thus a continuous flow of air is forced

care being taken to prevent the out
flow of air by having an assistant tie
a broad piece of tape about the teat
at the time the milking tube is with
drawn. The same treatment is re-
peated with the other three teats until
the udder is satisfactorily distended
In case the air becomes absorbed and
no improvement is noted within five
hours, a repetition of this treatment
should be made under the same anti
septic precautions as at first. The

"On the second floor will be eight

TILE ANGEL AT THE GATE.

ALL &ANGhA Al ILL Wal '
I dreamed last night of a better
land,
A heavenly home, an angel band,
A rolling river, ripping streams,
Of shady bowers and sunny CLEANS.
The waters clear as crystals flow,
And sweetest balmly breezes blow.
Where walks were gold, and golden
gates,
Where shining angel-keeper waits.
To guide the soul to realms unknown,
But ere I spoke the vision had flown.
Stay, oh stay, one moment more,
For here upon this earthly shore,
There is no hope except in God,
And cen beneath our feet we trod
The flowers that bloom to cheer our
way
To guide the soul to endless day.
Oh shining angel at the gate,
Wilt thou but one brief moment wait.
To tell me of that city fair
I'll ask the not that thou wouldst
share
The sorrows of this trial life
It's tolls its burdens and its strife.
But tell me of that land of God
Fer I am laid beneath the sod.
Oh, tell me of that city fair
And I will my own burdens bear.
Yes, tell me, I will patiently wait
Wilt thou meet me at the gate
To guide me safely to that shore
When the tolls of life are Ger
When God shall call the spirit home
When | shall here no longer roam,
When shall cross death IS dark river
When the heart strings cease to CULVER
When all earthly ties are broken,
When the last goodbye is spoken.
Then wilt thou angel meet me there
To guide me to heavens portals fair.

NORTHERN ASSOCIATION

Prof. George P. Brown, a former
superintendent Of the Richmond
schools, was in town today. He was
on his way to Winona, where the
Northern Indiana Teachers associa-
ton is in session. Mr.. Brown was
Superintendent of the Richmond
schools from 1860 to<1S6S and then
became superintendent of the Indian
apolis schools. From that position
he went to the presidency Of the In
diana State Normal school at Terre
Haute, where he remained until 1886.
Mr.. Brown graced all these posi-
tions with rare scholarship, fine ex-
ecutive ability and that dignity of
manner that always characterizes the
gentleman and scholar.
For the the past twenty years he
has been editor of the "Home and
School, published at Bloomington,
Ill, where he has resided since leav-
ing our state. Unlike many such men,
he has never, had a degree conferred
upon him, though eminently qualified
for such an honor.
His friends in Indiana are numer-
Gus, and are always glad to see him
in the Hoosier state.
