NOCuFe,

Chicago, Jan. 28.-'Drug
treatment is useless in cases of
pneumonia. The medical profess
sion, as far as medicines are con-
oerned, can be of no assistance in
the fight against the disease. The
sooner the profession will acknowl.
edge. this to the public aud set to
work to discover some specific to
save pneumonia patients, the bet
ter for all concerned.
This startling statement by DIR,
Arthur d, Bevau, who stands high
in the profession, stirred up the
members of the Chicago Medical
Society to-day.
Several physicians spraug to
their feet to protest against this
arraignment. All had to admit,
however, that there is no definite
remedy known and they based
their contention that they might
influence the patient favorably by
easing him somewhat and by NOR
al effect of their presence,

RULES FOR RUNNING DAIRY
Many Annoyances That Now
Beset You.

The rules Of the Vermont Dairy as
ISOLATION contains the following: The
mixer should be clean, and his clothes
likewise. Brush the udder just before
milking and wipe with a clean cloth or
sponge. Milk quietly, quickly and thor
ughly, Throw away into the gutter
the first few streams from each teat.
This milk is very watery, of very little
value and is quite apt to injure the re-
mainder of the milk. Remove the milk
promptly from the stable to a clean, dry
room, where the air is pure and sweet.
Drain the milk through a clean flannel
cloth, o through two or three thick
nesses of cheesecloth. Aerate and cool
the milk as soon as it is strained. The
cooler it is the more souring is retard-
ed. If covers are left off the cans, cover
with cloths or mosquito netting. Never
mix fresh milk with that which has
been cooled, nor close a can containing
warm milk, 0 allow it to freeze. I'm
der no circumstances should anything
be added to milk to prevent it souring.
Such doings violate the laws of both
God and man, The chemicals which
are used for this purpose are slow pois-
ons. Cleanliness and cold are the only
p~reservatives needed. In hot weather
jacket the cans with a clean, wet blan-
ket or canvas when moved in a wagon.
Musty, sour food, dusty litter or fodder
should be out of the way at milking time.
The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1904-03-25
TIMELY DAIRY T

Bitter milk is generally caused by
bacteria. Keep the stable free from
dust and remove the milk as soon as it
is drawn from thescow.
Unwashed butter. if the buttermilk
is we'll worked out, will keep as well or
better than butter washed in impure
water. If butter is worked too much it
spoils the grain, hence the value Of
washing out the buttermilk when good
water can be obtained.
The ideal COW of the Holland breeders
is of wedge shape, with shoulders mod
erately thick, the chest full, the barrel
long, ribs spreading, abdomen strongly
held up, the hips broad, the rump long,
broad and carried out high, the quar-
tiers straight, wide and full. and last but
not least, a broad and strong spinal
column. Farm and Home.

wheel beneath. There are no belts, no
cogs. The weight of the animal bears
the part of the large inclined wheel
upon the smaller wheel beneath and
causes it to reyolve.
A discarded wagon wheel might be
used as the framework of the large
wheel, mailing boards on the upper
surface for the animal to walk on, or a
frame is easily made, and if somewhat
larger than a wagon wheel-say six
feet or seven feet in diameter-the cir
Gle will be larger and the animal will
find the walking more direct. The
under wheel may be six or eight inches
in diameter. The power is increased
by giving the large wheel more pitch,
and diminished by setting it more
nearly leyeI.-Orange Judd Farmer.

SELECT GOOD COWS ONLY.
Guesswork in the Purchase of a Dairy
Herd Is Economy That Might
Be Called Criminal,

1t is Just as essential to keep good
COWS as any other animal. No man
can afford to keep poor cows, and es-
peclally the poor man. liza rich mar
wants to waste his money in poor
cows it is moi quite so bad, but a poor
mar must know better, or he cannot
expect much profit. In order to make
Roadway the poor man must keen ami
mails and use feed that will make the
largest profit. You cannot afford to
keep a single cow that does O make
you a profit. Be practical and BUSH
nesslike and apply the only sure test.
Keep a book in which to enter on one
side I'll milk, cream and butter,
whether consumed by the family or
sold. They are worth in your family
exactly what you would have to paw
for them if you had no cows. On the
other side enter the feed consumed,
whether purchased or raised on your
farm. The hay or corn fed is worth
on your farm the market price, less
cost of delivering to market. This test.
even if conducted for short time, will
you facts and not what YOU
S~N
guess about it. Some people refuse to
spend money for the best feed for
their COWS. This is poor economy, be-
cause 1t is simply an investment which
Will bring good returns. In selecting
choice dairy cows; if the richest milk
Is wanted, keep the Jerseys; if both but
ter and milk are wanted, keep the Ayr
SHIRE, but if large quantity Of milk is
wanted for the manufacture of cheese.
then the Holsteins must have first
place.. But. however. in either case all
ways select the best. Suppose you pay
$50 for a poor cow and come out. even
at the end of the year. Suppose you
pay $50 for a frs. class COW, and at
the end of the year she can show you
a profit of $50. If you keep cows for
profit just figure this over carefully.
1t requires just as good business quali-
ties to be a successful dairyman as It
e to be successful in any .other
business. If you don't think so you had
better quit the business.-E. L. Morris,

WESTERN CANADA HAS AN
EXCELLENT CLIMATE.
Tho Saskatchewan Valley Very High
ly Favored.

An interesting feature Of Western
Canada is it's climate. Those who
have made a study of it speak highly
OF 1t. The Canadian Government
Agents are sending out an Atlas, and
at the same time giving valuable in
formation concerning railway rates,
ETC., to those interested in the country.
AS has been said, the climate is excel
lent. The elevation of this part Of
Canada is about 1880 feet above the
sea, about twice that of the average for
Minnesota. tits a very desirable alti-
tude. The country has a very equable
climate, taking the seasons through.
The winters are bright and the, sum
mers are pleasantly warm. r. F. Stu
part, director of the meteorological
service for Canada, says:
THE salient features of the climate
"of the Canadian northwest territories
"are a clear, bracing atmosphere dur
ling the greater part of the year, and
"a medium Tailfaif and -sno fail. III
mean temperature for July at Winni-
peg is 66, and Prince Albert 62. The
former temperature is higher than at
"any part O. England, and the latter
ais very similar to that found in many
parts of the southern countries"
AT Prince Albert the average daily
maximum in July is rs and the mini
mum 4S. Owing to this high day tenn
perature with much sunshine, the crops
come to maturity quickly.
Moisture is ample in the Saskatche-
wan valley, being about Is inches an
nually. It is notable that about rs per
cent of the moisture falls during the
crop months. Thus, Western Canada
gets as much moisture when it is need
ed and with several hours more sun
shine daily than land further south
gets during the growing season, it is
not difficult to understand why crops
mature quickly and yield bountifully.
Winter ends quickly, sowing is done
during April and sometimes in March.
Harvest in August, about the
middle. Cyclones, billiards., dust and
sand storms are unknown.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs.
a. y. Smith, of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
Ny daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In a month she would have
the spells again. At these times she
would eat very little and was very yellow,
low.
THE doctors gave us no encouragement
they all said they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Oh
course, we continued the treatment I'M
til she had used in all about a dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her oc.
casionally, when she is not feeling well.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the bes;
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs
Smith, for by SO doing they may save
their daughters much pain and sickness
and ensure a healthy happy future fol-
them.

This Is Worth Thinking About.

How does little Denmark, where land
is worth $500 al acre, manageto capture
the English market from the big United
States? The answer is simply this.
They send men over to study the English
markets and find out the kind OF butter
that England wants. These men then 90
home and make that kind instead Of do
ing as the Yankees did-try to educate
the E~nglishman's appetite to the kind
Americans make. In Denmark dairymen
cooperate and help each other in every
possible manner; they have cooperative
creameries, cooperative eggs sale houses
and cooperative slaughter houses. They
simply go about doing honest hard work
and always produce a uniform product.
