Care of Milk on the Farm

The place where the herd is kept and
to the health of the animals. Infection
from stable air can be largely avoided
by using special care in feeding and
cleaning The air should not be full
of dust at milking time. Some advo-
cate the use of a special room for milk
ing only The effect of milking in
pure air is shown by an experiment in
which the COW was MIXED in an open
field on a damp morning when the air
was clear, and it was found that her
milk contained only a few bacteria in
the same volume which, under ordinary
conditions in the stable, contains many
hundreds.-R. A. Pearson, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
At Milking Time.
No dusty food should be fed just
previous to milking. IT it is believed
to be necessary for COWS to be eating
at milking time. they may be given a
moist feed then and the dry fodder
used after milking The animals and
stables should be cleaned early and
the stable well ventilated before milk
ing Is commenced. In light, dry
building in hot weather it is we'll to
sprinkle the floor to settle the dust
and lower the temperature.
Stable Odors.
Cow stables should be kept clean ali
the time; little attention once or
twice daily is not enough. Ii the cows
are kept continually in their places
an attendant should pass through the
stables several times day and remove
all droppings. When the herd is large
boy or man may well be continually
employed for that purpose. This is
more necessary than formerly on ac-
count of the high feeding usually prac
Hced and the consequent soft manure
or disagreeable odor. 1t is well to
make free use of land plaster for the
purpose of absorbing moisture and I'M
desirable odors -as well as increasing
the value of manure
Cow Barn Disfnfectant.
One of the best and cheapest disin-
fectants for floors. cutters. waste pipes.
ETC.. is sulphate of iron (copperas). For
a floor as much of this should be dis
solved as water will hold. 1t is then
applied with a sprinkler. Lumps Of
dry copperas are useful for purifying
drains.
After stable has been disinfected
it should be allowed to remain empty
for several days for thorough airing

ment Of Agriculture.

Her Piaua Wish.

Robert Burns friend, DR.. Blackjack,
the blind poet, was a licentiate of the
Church of Scotland and used to preach
occasionally.
One Sunday he was supplying a
country pulpit. Certain deaf old wo-
men, as was the custom in those days.
had squatted on the pulpit stairs to be
as near the preacher as possible Like
the mass Of the Scottish people, they
abominated sermons that were read.
One of them as soon as the discourse
was begun said to her neighbor in 8
tone that was audible through the
whole church, us he readin'?''
? "TutS, woman! No, he Gamma read.
He's blind"
.Blin, is he, Ell? That's raal fort
nate I wish they were a blind"

The Milk Veins.

The milk veins found along the stom-
ach Of the cow should be very tortu-
Gus, says American Cultivator. They
wind about on the belly and pass into
the body through oritices in the rear
Of the fore flank. Their duty is to con-
vey the venous blood to the lungs for
purification; hence the larger the vein
and the greater it's ramifications the
better indication it is that the circula-
ton of the blood through heSudderis
very large, and naturally the larger
the circulation of the blood the greater
will be the milk production, because
milk, after all, is really a product Of
the blood

Drinking Water.

Our physical well being would be
greatly increased if we would drink
q large glass of water Immediately on
arising and again on retiring. The
morning glass may be of hot water to
advantage. Then take another large
glassful between breakfast and dinner
and another between dinner and sup
per. Encourage the water drinking hab-
it in the children as well as in your
self, for thereby the eliminating proc
esses Of the body are satisfactorily car
ried on.

Dairy Steers rs Beef.

A recent feeding trial at the Kansas
experiment station indicates that dairy
steers if properly fed will make good
beef and that alfalfa hay and corn
produce a nice quality of meat says
Farmers Advocate. These results are
encouraging to farmers who are anx-
ious to build UP their dairy herd and
do it by the use of good dairy bulls.
1t seems to us that there can be 10
question that the thing for the small
farmer to do who must largely depend
upon an income from cream and but
ter is to use dairy. sires instead Of beef
sires. The advantage gained by get
ting better steers from the use of beef
bulls is greatly overbalanced by the
increased flow of milk obtained by
grading up herd with bulls of pro-
nounced dairy type belonging to dairy
breeds

A Hint to Smokers.

In an article on the hygiene of smok-
ing published in the Munich Medical
Weekly by Dr.. J. Bamberger he says
the injury that may follow the use of
tobacco differs with the manner OF
smoking. Those who use a mouthpiece,
or, if not, are careful not to keep the
end Of the cigar saturated with saliva,
are much less apt to suffer from the
absorption Of the various products of
the burning tobacco. DRY smokers
run much less risk of harming them
selves than those who chew the ends
Of their cigars. DR.. Bamberger sug-
gests that bit Of absorbent cotton
saturated with chloride of iron be plac-
ed in the holder, and he claims by do
ing this some of the harmful products
OF combustion are rendered innocuous.

Oily Feeds and Butter Fat.

The feeding of oils to milk cows at
the Hatch experiment station produc-
ed rather interesting results. The oil
had a tendency to increase the amount
Of butter fat at first, but after short
time the per cent of butter fat fell to
about the usual amount. When the
feeding of the oils was discontinued
the per cent of fat fell off, showing
that the cows had come to depend on
the oils as upon stimulant and it
would be some time before the normal
proportion of butter fat would return.
The principal conclusion was that the
only profitable way to increase the
amount Of butter mat is from good
food and good care, but the natural PEI
cent of each COW could not be changed
to any great extent.

MNIc and Female BUYERS.

Whereas some women will go into Il

out any fixed plan of purchase and will

THE COCOANUT PALM.
IL Plays an Important Part In Life
and In Law In CeyIOn.

IL Plays an Important Part I'm Life
and In Law In Ceylon.
When a traveller gets his first sight
of palm grove he does not easily for
get it. He sees the trees springing up,
as 1t We're, from the water in which
their shadows are reflected. Besides
being beautiful ornaments to a land
scape these palms are among the most
useful gifts which nature has given to
the inhabitants of tropical islands. In
supplying actual necessities and in the
can be applied bamboo takes first rank,
but the palm comes next. To many of
the people of Ceylon the cocoanut trees
are everything, and their very lives de-
pend upon them. The tree supplies
most of their wants, besides giving
them valuable commercial products
In this island there are estimated to
be nearly 100000 palm trees. and
among the poorer classes mans
wealth is estimated by the number of
trees he owns. They form the most i'm
pOrtant asset of his estate and by will
are generally divided among his fam
lily. AS one of the important traits of
the Cingalese is his love of litigation,
one can readily see what an important
part the palm tree plays in the law
cases there. There is a case on record
In which the two thousand five hun
ared and twentieth part of grove
containing only ten trees, was the sub
ject of dispute. One of the greatest
difficulties which the engineers had to
encounter in building railroad across
the island was to determine the owner
ship of the palm trees. The ramifica-
tons of relationships and the fraction
al claims set up were most difficult
to understand and disentangle.

Concerning Skim Milk.

In Europe the farmers have a, much
higher idea of the feeding value of
skim milk than is entertained by the
farmers of the United States. The Bel
gian farmers fix the value of this i'm
pOrtant food at 33 cents per 100
pounds. But this value is due to the
fact that the Belgian farmers are
thoroughly well posted in the art Of
feeding and developing young animals.
This is a good consideration.

The Rusty Milk Can.

When milk can or other receptacle

A conscientious Jury.

On one occasion native in Kali,
Hawaii, cheated a neighbor out of
small sum Of money The community
was indignant and determined that the
guilty party should be punished. The
day of the trial came, the testimony
was conclusive, the judge closed his
charge, reminding the jury that ''it
takes nine to convict" for a three
fourths majority was required instead
of a unanimous jury. 1t was thought
that the twelve might decide in the
box, but the Hawaiian likes form, and
they gravely withdrew to the jury
room. They were gone an unconscion-
able time. At length the judge, impa-
tient, sent to find out what in the
world was the matter and discovered
this predicament: All twelve were for
conviction. and no three could be in
duced to vote for the defendant
