THE "APTER" MILKING.
A Progressive Danish IGaea--Man1pu.
IattOn of the Udder.

A Progressive Danish Idea-HTantpu-
IattOn of the Udder.
The degree of productive activity in
the udder represents the milk profit in
COW. That the amount of milk Sc
cured depends to some extent on skill
full milking has long been recognized.
Now the scientists go a step further
and recommend a systematic manipula-
ton of the udder after the ordinary
milking to increase the milk production.
AT the Wisconsin station a practical
test has been made of this interesting
theory of manipulation as well as OF
the efficacy of thorough milking.
From summary of results given by
Professor Noel In bulletin No 90 it APP
pears that there was in this expert
mcnt considerable and daily gain
from manipulation and that this gain
was maintained all through the period
Of lactation.
Aside also from manipulation which
10 not always practicable for the ordi-
nary dairyman, the difference in work
done by different mixers is brought out
strongly. In several cases one mixer
did his work so much better than the
others in the same herd as to be worth
nearly $40 month more to the owner
on account Oflthe larger yields of milk
and fat WHICH he obtained.
In the university herd the average
daily production of milk from twenty
four cc&s was increased through ma
nipulaA Ion by As per cent orange 80
30.2 per cent for individual cows) as
rhSf result of a milking experiment con-
tdnued for four weeks, the average gain
in milk being a pound and in fat 90
pound per head per day.
The largest amount of milk obtained
from a cow by the manipulation meth
cd after the regular milking was done
was 5.5 pounds per day and the lowest
20 pound. The corresponding figures
for fat production were ga and ,02
pounds. The former figure is consider
ably above the average total daily pro
duction Of COWS in this or other states
The greater portion of the gains OBJ
tanned came through lack Of care on
the part Of the regular mixers, as the
COWS were not MIXED perfectly clean.
But even in herds where the mixers
did their work well there were always
one or more cows which gave an in
crease of nearly pound of milk and
One-tenth of pound of butter fat by
the manipulation method.
The milk obtained by the manipula-
ton method is similar in composition
to that of 'strippings" On the average
for all herds it contained 1882 per cent
fat and was found to be about two and
one-half times richer than the ordinary
milk. The highest per cent of fat
found in the after milking from any
one cow was % per cent and from any
one herd 14.41 per cent.
Professor Noel says that within a
| year or two dairy teachers in Denmark
hor.- worked out the idea Of manipula-
tIor into ~ systems The Hegeland
system is taught in - -" dairy schools of
the country and adopted by L@~as pro-
gressive dairymen. 1t is the system
tested in Wisconsin. Another set of
manipulations is that of Soondergaard.

The Peculiarly of Japanese Patriotism

Nobushige Amenomori in the Atlantic Monthly.
The love Of ones fatherland is common to
the natives of all countries. but in the Japa-
neSe patriotism there are certain things pc
culiar to itself
When we consider Japanese patriotism we
must never lose sight of it's great concomi-
tant. loyalty to the emperor. These two
passions are so closely united in the breast
of an ordinary Japanese that he can hardly
conceive of one without the other When
a Japanese says. II love my country" a
great or even the greater part Of his idea
Of his country is taken up by the en-
peror and the imperial family. His duty
to his country, as conceived by him, in
cludes, first of all, duty to his emperor.
Moreover. to him his country does not
mean simply group of islands with about
fifty millions Of people living on them. His
forefathers and descendants are also taken
into account. To him the past, present and
future generations are commingled into
one, so that If we analyze the idea of his
kuni. country, as understood by him, we
find it composed Of the following elements:
l. The imperial ancestors.
2. The reigning emperor.
3. The imperial family
4. The imperial descendants.
3. His own ancestors
g. His own family and relations
z. His descendants.
.. His fellow countrymen. their families
and their relations.
o. Their ancestors.
TO- Their descendants
IL. The extent of land or lands occupied
by his race.
The Japanese knows that his own an
cestors served those of his emperor Nay,
he knows that, if his own genealogy be
traced to bygone ages it will be found more
or less connected with that of the imperial
household. In short, the Japanese are
members of one vast family with the en-
peror as the head and representative of it's
main stock. The emperor is by birth the
head of the nation Neither he nor any OF
his ancestors came to the throne by ruse
or violence. Suppose Abraham had founded
an empire in Palestine-that his heirs in
an unbroken line ruled over the twelve
tribes, themselves descendants of Abraham,
and that the empire continued powerful to
this day; suppose this. and you have an
idea somewhat similar to that of the en-
pire OF Japan.

Art Commission and Manhattan Bridge
From the Scientific American

In spite of the obvious contradiction In
volved in the reputation by the art COM
mission of properly authenticated plans
that 1t had already indorsed, in favor of
imperfect plans lacking any engineering in
dorsement, the art commission has seen lit
to accept the new plans.
We certainly agree with the Merchants
Association in the opinion that the COM
mission has assumed grave responsibility
in authorizing this important public work
under circumstances that must be very dis
couraging to the friends Of good govern
ment in the administration of city affairs.
For what good reason does the art COM
mission, after accepting the findings of an
expert investigation of a bridge designed
by a competent engineer now refuse 10
ask for a similar investigation of the undi-
geSted plans of man who was a COMPARE
lively unknown subordinate in that engt-
neeI's office when those first plans Vera
made?
