Tying the Kicking Cow.

l have tried many ways of tying a
kicking COW. and most of them
have proved failures One way,
however, that was told me by
an old farmer. has proved en-
tirely satisfactory, and 1 give it to
readers of the Farmers Review. Take
a rope and make a moose in one end.
The rope should be an inch in thick
ness and should be about five feet
long. When starting to milk pass the
rope around the cows legs, crossing
it between the legs and running the
long end through the loop. The loose
end should lie over the lap of the
mixer. The two loops, one around
each leg, should be above the
joints in the legs. When the COW tries
to kick she will be able to push her
leg forward but a short distance and
will not be able to upset the milk pail
or disturb the mixer. l MIXED one
Kicking cow for several years, and
always had her tied this way. The
rope will slip little, but not enough
to allow the cow to do any damage
l. is OF no use to attempt to tie a
cow further down on her legs
as she will then get excited and throw
herself She does not seem to MIND
the arrangement l describe above.

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS?

H. T. Newcomb of the District of
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that STATS depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of SAP, 354 ,086 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold $S45, $50 38 of steam
railroad stocks and bonds and IA edu-
cational institutions depend on $47,-
468, 1927 invested in similar securities
for a portion of their income. Other
fiduciary institutions own enough
railroad securities to bring such hold
ing up to more than billion and
half dollars, about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in
surance policies in the country, as
many more of fire insurance policies,
and an even greater number of de-
positors in banking and trust institu-
lions, where investments are largely
in railroad securities.

The culIinan Diamond.

Speculation is rife in mining circles
as to what might have been the fate of
the Cullinan diamond had it not been
picked up on the surface
A stone of that magnitude, if carried
to the washing machine, would not
pass through the cylinder, and might
conceivably be picked out and care
lessly thrown aside with the discard

reached the rollers, it would inevita-
bly, be smashed into several pieces

Finished Lumber for Coops.

The use of finished lumber for
coops is to be commended 1t is
mistake to use old half rotten boards
for the construction of such coops,
even though they may be used for but
one season The mites will find the
numerous cracks great harboring
places, and the rats will be able to
gnaw through them if they have occa-
sion to do so. The painting of such
coops is a discouraging job, while the
painting of the smooth lumber is
pleasant pastime. When properly
painted well-made coops may be kept
for years. They can be made so that
they can be easily taken to pieces
when the time comes to put them
away for the winter

.ar-~Rr-~ar-~Jap~~ OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
NATURES GREAT DISINFECTANT.
Let the Sunlight Reach Every Corner of the
House and Destroy the Germs.

Natures great disinfectant is sun
light 1t is a most interesting fact
that this wonderful light, which pro-
notes the growth of useful plants and
sustains animal life, at the same time
destroys by it's very brightness all
sorts of germs which are brought in
contact with it. 1t is this fact alone
which renders the earth inhabitable.
Germs develop with such marvellous
rapidity that they would quickly over
whelm us by their very numbers if
not constantly destroyed sby the sun.
A little computation will readily show
this. Some germs are capable of such
rapid multiplication that they may
double every fifteen minutes under
favorable conditions of temperature
and food supply Estimate the num-
Der of germs which might be pro-
duced in a single day of twenty-four
hours, or ninety-six doublings. The
number would be more than thirty
two thousand billion billions, or suf-
ficient to cover eighty thousand
square miles a foot deep, or fill
space of more than fifteen cubic
miles. The increase of a minute or
ganism occupying a cubic space of
not more than one twenty-thousandth
of an inch to such prodigious magni-
tude is beyond comprehension. and
practically cannot occur; for while
the germ may grow at this immense
rapidity for a short time, the poisons
which it produces become destructive
to itself. The material upon which it
feeds is also exhausted, SO that its
growth ceases
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that mold grows during the night and
in dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs, mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Diff
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly, but accomplishes in the
course of few hours what bright
sunlight is capable of doing in a few
minutes. 1t is clearly evident, then,
that in order that our houses should
be kept free from germs, they, like
our bodies, should be made full of life.
The shutters should be opened, the
curtains raised, and the light admit
ted to every room in the house, clos
cts included, SO that the disinfecting
power of light may be exercised in
every nook and corner of the dwell
ing.

a crowd of coarse, half-drunken men,
and with them partake freely Of in
toxicating liquor. Unfortunately, this
painful sight is not at all rare, and it
is quite common to see drunken WON
en- Keeling about in the streets. What
a sad commentary on our modern civ
ilization.
In Copenhagen it is the custom to
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms are almost or entirely bare, even
in weather when Americans appre-
ciate their overcoats- This practice
necessarily chills the blood, and tends
to produce congestion of the internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays the
foundation for colds, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis is making sad havoc
among the urban population of Nor
way. 1t is pitiful to note how this
plague is decimating this once hardy
race. Sedentary life, indoor confine-
ment and defective ventilation are
undoubtedly the most prolific causes,
for fifty per cent of the tubercular
cases make a satisfactory recovery
when they are sent to some outdoor
sanitarium; and what will cure a con-
sumptive would certainly have pre-
vented the onset of the disease.
The liquor curse is undermining the
physical stamina of the Swedish race.
Liquor drinking among the working
classes is almost universal. One
third of their population die before
the age of twenty-one, and one-fourth
of those who live, are rejected from
military service on account of phys
ical disqualifcations.

1t is a saying that it is of no use
to try to have a garden and keep
hens at the same time. Any farmer
that has watched the matter knows
better. The saying doubtless arose
among the townspeople whose keenest
disappointments came from the little
garden patch being raided by neigh
boris hens. As a matter of fact the
hens need be kept out of the garden
only at planting time and during the
short time when the vegetables are
still so small as to be easily destroyed.
When good size has been attained by
the plants and vegetables the hens
are a help to the garden by keeping
down the bugs and worms

Egg Laying Capacity Of Fowls.

1t is a mistake under which we
we're all laboring to assume that hens
were largely alike in their capacity
for the production of eggs At the
Maine station experiments have been
carried on for good many years,
looking to the finding out of the rela-
tive capacity of layers of the Plymouth
Rock breed A hen of that breed laid
2S1 eggs in a year, another $50, and
several went over the 240 mark Quite
a flock of hens was got together each
one of which laid in excess of 200
eggs One hen that would have been
a prize winner at any show did not
lay an egg during the entire time she
was owned by the station

Occupation and Tuberculosis.


The influence of occupation as a
cause of consumption is shown by DR..
J. M. French in the Medical Exam
liner.
At least four classes of employ
ments ments have a tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis.
They are:
1. Sedentary employments in ILL
ventilated apartments, involving con-
finement in impure air, and other un-
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typiied by the So
called swet-shops for the manufacture
of various articles of clothing.
2. Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers, matchmak-
ers. fle-cutters, grinders, engravers,
etc.
g. EmploymentS which involve the
overuse or abuse of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts, wrestlers, professional BIZ
cycle riders, ball players, ETC., large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
4. Employments which involve un-
due familiarity with intoxicants.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine, beer and
the various classes of alcoholics
Tatham's tables show that, taking the
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred, that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, of brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and fifty-seven.
Overcoming Hereditary Tuberculosis.
Much is being said nowadays re-
specting the out-of-door treatment of
tuberculosis, a disease which, while
rarely directly transmissible by hered-
ity, is one the predisposition to which
is in the highest degree hereditary
1t has been clearly shown by numer-
Gus experiments in various parts of
. the United States that out-of-door life
with regular hygienic habits, ire
spective of altitude or special climat-
fc advantages, is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to
effect cure of this formidable mall
ady without the use of drugs of any
sort.
tuberculosis is a disease of civiliza-
ton 1t scarcely exists among saw
ages who live in the primitive state,
but quickly appears among such peo-
pie when the habits of civilization are
adopted, especially the indoor life.

North American Indian alike fall vic
