MOnkeya at Play.

Nothing is more instructive" said
the ZOO keeper to Baltimore Herald
reporter, than to watch young mon
keys at play. These interesting crea-
lures investigate everything with in
satiable curiosity. They do things
startling enough to convince me that
they have almost human minds.
II had in India young monkey that
learned to put the key in the lock and
unlock the chain that fastened it to a
pole. Near this monkey there always
lay a brush with a handle that un-
screwed. In time the monkey learned
to unscrew the handle and then to
screw it in again.
"A friend of mine had monkey that
he kept chained just out of reach of the
hearth fire. This monkey learned to
tear strips from newspapers, roll them
into long tapers and light them in the
flames"

MILK CONTAMINATION
Importance of Keeping Hairs From
the Udder Out of the Pail.

Importance of Keeping Hairs From
the Udder Out of the Pail.
Those who have studied micro or
ganisms found upon hairs of animals
are well aware Of the baneful influence
they may have upon the changes in
milk. A clean hair may have on its
surface from 80 to 1000 or 5000 micro
organisms: dirty hair almost any
number above this. A dirty hair, there
fore, entering the milk may provide
micro organisms by the thousand or
by the million. If the milk is strained
and the hair kept on the strainer, the
micro organisms go through just the
same, and the surface of the hair is
simply washed off. If, accordingly, a
milker permits dozen or two hairs to
enter the pail during the course Of
milking it means that probably mil
lions Of micro organisms have been in
troduced into the milk.
Any one at all familiar with the sta
BILE Is familiar with the character Of
the dirt on the surface Of hair. There
are the micro organisms which may
cause trouble and are usually capable
of producing a variety of changes in
milk. They may produce taints or fer
mentations Of any kind.
In order, therefore, to eliminate micro
organisms from this source it may be
necessary to groom the COW thoroughly
or to clip the hair on her udder. II
the cow is kept clean and Is thorough
ly groomed the necessity for clipping Is
not so great. Further, by dampening
the udder during the milking process
the hair may be made to adhere so
that it will not fall into the mike. E.

RipeninH Cream.

No part of the buttermaking is Of
more Importance than the ripening Of
the cream. In winter it is frequently
attended with considerable difficulty,
as few farm houses are provided with
conveniences for maintaining even tenn
perature, says Hoard's Dairyman.
Where there are several fresh cows
in the herd cream ripens better, with
less danger Of introducing harmful bac-
terra. Fresh buttermilk in such cases
usually furnishes starter sufficient
for all practical purposes. Save out a
couple of quarts each time and stir this
thoroughly through the cream twenty
four hours before churning.

A COlOseal Idol.

Two miles from Kamakura and about
twenty from Yokohama, in japan, on
a terrace near the temple sits the most
gigantic idol in the world. 1t is the
brazen image Of a deity and dates from
the reign of the Emperor Shomu, who
died A. D. 74S. The dimensions Of
this idol are colossal. His height from
the base of the lotus flower upon which
he sits to the top Of his head is sixty
three and half feet. The face is
sixteen feet in length and nine and a
half feet wide, the eyes are three feet
nine inches from corner to corner, the
eyebrows five and half feet and the
ears eight and half feet. The chest
Is twenty feet in depth, and the middle
finger is exactly five feet long. The
flfty-six leaves of the lotus throne are
each ten feet long and six feet wide.

Building Up the Dairy Herd.

From the first crop Of calves from
common cows retain the heifers from
the best cows or, better still, keep all
the heifers, says Holstein- Friesian Reg
lister. When these heifers are fifteen to
eighteen months old breed them to
their sire. Inbreeding to this extent
may be safely followed under any cir
cumstances. When these heifers drop
their calves give them special care.
Remember that you will be disappoint-
ed IL the majority Of them do not de-
velop into better cows than their dams.

BOTTLE SHAKERS.
4 Unique Set Of Expert Wage Earn.

eRs In France.
The bottle shakers Of France form q
somewhat unique set of expert wage
earners.
All the larger firms of champagne
makers at Reims use only the juice
from the first pressing Of the grape for
champagne.
The juice is taken in barrels to the
cellars and poured into large vats. The
wine remains in these vats from Oc-
tober until January, when the mixing
takes place. This mixture is called
the cuvee, and it stands again until
April or June, when the great opera
ton of filling the bottles takes place.
First, the bottles are thoroughly test
ed and well cleaned. Then the long
pipes are extended to the bottles from
the mighty vats that hold the cuvee,
and as the bottles are filled, corked and
wired they are lowered in baskets to
the caves below, where they are stack
ed
These bottles are now left from one
to two years, when they are put in
small racks, necks downward, and for
two or three months each bottle is
given daily gentle little shake by an
experienced workman. In this way the
sediment is brought gradually to the
cork and the wine becomes perfectly
clear.
One man can shake about 10000 bot.
ties in a day. Upon the expertness OF
the shakers depends in, large measure
the quality Of the wine.-Philadelp

CARE OF MILK CATTLE

All dairy cows should go into the sta
BILE at night as soon as the first frost
makes it appearance on the ground,
and from Dec. l until the frost is al
most clear Of the ground in the spring
they should not be let out at all. The
farmer would be money in pocket by
following this plan. By eating good
food and converting it into milk cow
would get sufficient exercise. A cow
giving milk will drink water about a
dozen times a day and therefore should
have water constantly before her.
Before the Cow Calves.
For three weeks before cow begins
to give milk she should have no corn
meal. This is heating and tends to
bring on milk fever A day or two be-
fore new milk comes give the cow
dose Of physic, such as EPSON salts
Farm Journal.
The Cow Tie-up.
There are a few essential points In
the construction Of tie-up. First,
sunshine all day; second, water in the
tie-up or in a room connected, so the
cows will not have to go out in the
open air to get it; third, plenty of ven
tilation in front of the cows, the rear
will take care of itself; fourth, it
should be so constructed that the cows
can be kept clean with the least eX
pense of labor, and. fifth, the cows
should be so tied that they will have
the largest amount of latitude and still
be tied-Cor. American CultivatOr.
Rations For the Cow.
The dairy COW has very large stor-
age capacity, can use a great amount
of roughness. and the character of this
roushness must be taken into account
before we determine with what kind Of
a ration we must balance it up. Only in
special cases do you need to give more
| than eight pounds of concentrates per
| thousand pounds of cow per day, and
you can get very good results with
even less than that.
| Drying OFF Cows.

skip one teat today, another tomorrow,

Stables are now whitewashed quicker
and much more effectively with spray

Rurning Of the yanities.

SayanarOlo once marked his strong
condemnation Of luxury by collecting a
large number of articles which he re-
9arded as vanities during the carnival
to be burnt in the Piazza della Signoria,
Florence, on Shrove Tuesday, 1497. In
this burning Of the vanities' were JIM
cluded fancy costumes, carnival masks,
false hair and rouge pots, cards and
dice boxes, books and pictures, to-
1ether with casts and valuable sculp-
lures Of questionable character. Built
up into a pyramid Of seven stages
signifying the seven deadly sins-the
pile was burnt by lighting fagots
placed in the center, while children
standing round sang hymns before the
assembled crowds.
the simplon Pass.
The Simplon pass always has been
the great highway Of travel from
Switzerland into Italy. 1t was used by
Caesar and his legions as far back as
30 B. c., and, although Napoleon hap
pened to use the st. Bernard pass, he
recognized the superior Importance of
the Simpl0n and ordered a military
road to be built over it to serve in fu-
ture campaigns. 1t was begun in 1900.
but before it was completed. in 1906,
the fortunes of the battlefield led the
emperor elsewhere, SO he never saw It.
