obligatory upon the milkman to see
that no opportunity is afforded for the
contact Of the tactical fluid with con
taminated atmosphere in the stable.
Probably the best way in which this
can be accomplished is by the aid of
the pneumatic milking machine here
illustrated. 1t is so arranged as to not
only milk the cows automatically, but
also incloses the milk in an alright
receptacle as long as it is in the prox-
unity of the animal. This is accom-
plished by a reservoir suspended over
head and connected with the teat cups
by a short section of hose. BY means
of a vacuum created in the pipe to
which the reservoir is attached the
milk is drawn from the teats and de-
posted In the receptacle. whence it
can be removed to the creamery for
further treatment before being placed

Moreover They Are Bad for Ones
Nerves, This Man Says.
You may not know it, old fellow,
but there is very intimate connec-
ton between the high collar and the
headache" said an observant man,
land | have proved my faith in the
statement by refusing to wear collars
of the high sort. 1t is bad business.
my boy. Itigh collars choke up the
veins and arteries and interfere to
some extent with the circulation of
the blood in the neck and head Do
not understand me to be knocking
any particular brand of high collars
So far as the appearance of the high
collar is concerned. l confess that |
like it,
I'm my own case it has been a great
blessing in at least one way, for fell
lows with long necks, you know, do
not look so well when you harness
them up in low collars. My neck is
long, long as a cranes, and the high
collar has kept me from leaving too
much of it exposed. Why, I've got so
much neck that when | first began
to wear low collars was almost
ashamed to venture out into the street.
1 felt as if l was but half dressed and
the feeling was not so far wrong at that,
for the low collar does leave a good
part of my anatomy open and above
board, as it were. But this fact does
not bother me now. 1 simply don't
care at all. Exposed neck is a whole
lot better than headaches. and you
know, old chappy, | was speaking of
headaches just now. That's what l
wanted to tell you about. The high
collar does something more than inter
fere with ones circulation. 1t scatches
and irritates the skin. keeps ones
chin at an unreasonable, uncomfort-
able and unnatural angle. and causes
one to acquire a nervous frigidity sort
of habit.
when you meet your friend who is
in the HABIT of wearing a high collar
pay particular attention to the way
he moves and holds his head 1t isn't
at all natural. 1t is all due to the
high collar Mark you. there are high
collars. and high collars. Some of
them approach rationalism in neck
dress. Others are about as far from it
as it is possible to get without en-
quilting the whole head. But, of course,
every fellow to his own liking in these
matters. 1 wear low collars because
they are comfortable, and because I
believe the high collar is a producer
of headaches, and a bad thing for
ones nerves generally. Dallas News.

The Farmers Wife.

Don't make hired man of her. A
woman on a farm has no more place
in drudgery than she has in the city.
The duties of any home are sufficient
for the wife. No woman can be a
wife, herder of cattle and swine. a
milkmaid and do the general chores
about the house. No woman ought to
submit to such work, and no man will
allow it. He who does so can scarcely
be called man. Women wear out fast
enough in the general course Of life,
and just because they happen to live
on farm it is no reason why they
should enter into a life of slavery

The Walking Gait.

Walking is one of the gaits that is
nearly always neglected, and yet an
active, quick, clear-footed walk is a
valuable gait to the horse intended
for the farm, for use as a roadster or
for a saddler 4 horse broke to har-
ness is generally trained for a while at
the side of some steady old animal,
and the youngster, if inclined to walk
fast, soon begins to learn that it is not
the thing to do. For that reason it is
best to break a young horse in single
harness or under the saddle, and train
him to be a good walker as well as
good at other gaits. A 3-year-old is
generally better walker than he will
be at any other age if he is kept as
harness horse, unless specially trained
with a view to brisk, active movement
in that gait-St Louis GJobe-Demo-
