Anne Boleyn In Spain.

After Henry VIII. divorced Catha-
rine Of Aragon, the favorite daughter
of Ferdinand and Isabella, and married
Anne Boleyn there was intense disgust
thereat in Spain, and to show their alb
horrence they for years carried around
annually in procession huge alligator
Qa tarasca. which strictly means SER
pent, and out Of the back Of this ami
NAL sprang female figure intended
for Anne Boleyn. This figure they
called the "Anavolena" ((Anne Boleyn,
she "b" and "v" being almost inter-
changeable in Spanish). The idea, of
course, was Professionalism, personified
by Anne Boleyn, springing out Of the
foul beast Of the slime. The tarasca
Is shown to the curious, with the Ana
volena complete, in the hall Of the
Gigantes, which is approached from
the gallery round the cloisters Of the
cathedral, the most interesting one in
Spain.-Notes and Queries.

SANITARY MILK PAIL.

Is covered with cap during the proc
ess of milking. The cap Is shown at
the right. The ring at the left fastens
the strainer, which should consist Of
double layer of cheesecloth inclosing a
layer Of absorbent cotton. The pur-
pose of the cotton is to retain fine hairs
and any particles Of dirt that are not
dissolved by the milk. 1t should be
renewed at each milking. The value
Of a partially closed pail is evidenced
by the reduced surface, which has a
tendency to keep out many Of the MI
Gro organisms which would otherwise
drop into the pail during milking. To
illustrate, half closed top would have
the effect of reducing the contamina-
ton from this source about SO per cent.
1t is we'll to say in this connection
that there are many objections to the
so called sanitary milk pail 1t without
doubt reduces the contamination when
the contamination occurs, but when
cleanliness is vigorously practiced no
doubt the disadvantages exceed the
benefits. However, many Of our best
dairymen use it continually.

With a view to getting the most out
Of the dairy COW good, sensible sys-
tenn must be followed in feeding. Prop
er feeding must begin with the calf
and continue right through her life. II
the calf is not promising one it is bet
ter to dispose of her and devote the
attention to others. II she is worth
rearing for the dairy she is worth all
the attention that can be bestowed up
on her. That is the theory we must go
on.
The calf should be growing steadily
so that at two years she is ready to
begin her life work. If allowed to go
beyond this period she will use the
food given to her to lay on fat This
is not desirable. The dairyman must
fight against this continually.

In a bulletin recently issued by the
Michigan experiment station John Mi
chefs, instructor in dairying, depart
ment Of agriculture, says Of the care
Of dairy utensils:
A room for the lslrpose Of washing
the dairy utensils is very important
part of the equipment. 1t should be
provided with shelves, some good
washing substance as sal soda, hot
and cold water and II possible steam.
The shelves should be placed near
large window where the tinware is ex-
posed to the disinfecting action Of the
sunlight The cleaning of dairy uten-
sils is best conducted as follows:
First, rinse with warm or perhaps
preferably cold water. Never use boil
Ing or hot water at first or the milk
will become cemented to the utensil.
Second, scrub with moderately hot
water containing some sal soda. The
washing should be done with brushes
rather than cloth because the bristles
enter into any crevices present which
the cloth cannot possibly reach. Fur
thermore, it Is very difficult to keep
the cloth clean. Third, scald thorough
ly with steam or hot water after
rinsing out the water in which the sal
soda was used. After scalding the
utensils should be inverted on the
shelves without wiping and allowed to
remain in this place until ready to use.
| This will leave the vessels in a prac-
| tically sterile condition. Fourth, If 1t
Is possible to turn the inside Of the
vessels to the sun in a place where
there is no dust, then 1t is desirable to
expose the utensils during the day to
the strong germicidal action of the di-
rect suns rays.
In washing strainers or cloths used
for straining care should be exercised
in placing these in boiling water few
minutes after thorough cleaning. From
the boiling water they are spread out
to dry in clean and dustless place.

Miss Pearle McDuffee, who has
been teaching school up in2 Melrose
township, Grant County, since last
fall, has finished her school and re-
turned home.
While Marshall Grunerud and his
crew were working on the road a
short distance west of town on
Monday afternoon they unearthed a
number of human skeletons at a depth
of about four feet. The skeletons
we're apparently those OF Indians who
had been buried forty or fifty years
ago. Eight or ten skulls were found
in one grave and from the position in
which they were found it was apparent
that the bodies had been buried in a
circle with all the heads together.
This we are informed was the mode OF
buryin the Indian dead. Nothing OF
any description was found buried
with the remains that would reveal the
identity of who they were and how
thew come here. Some of our citizens
are of the opion that as SO many were
buried in the same grave they must
have been victims of some massacre
or battle, possibly slain by soldiers
during the Indian warfare days OF the
early settlements. From recent dis
coveries it is quite clear that the banks
of our beautiful little lakes have been
at one time the rendezvous of the red
men in his wanderings over the un-
broken prairies long before the advent
of the white man. What story the
lakes could reveal if they could only
show up the past.

Aberdeen-Angus In the Dairy.

In Australia the Aberdeen-Angus
cows are highly esteemed for dairy
purposes. A correspondent, writing to

heifers are not to be had in sufficient
numbers and that breeders are mating
the Angus bull with Ayrshire cows to
obtain good mixers. At the royal show
at Sydney in 1902 cow Of this cross

the calm, statesmanlike reply.
"But don't know when she will be
back" urged the maid.

piled Disraeli, ''but am going to wait
till she comes back, so please make me

He did wait, he got his tea, and he

A clean, well drained barnyard Is an
essential factor in the production Of
sanitary milk, for where cows are otlig-
ed to wade in mire and filth it is easy
to foretell what the quality Of the milk
will be. In order to secure a good
barnyard the slope should be away
from the stable or at least not toward
the stable, and it should be covered
with gravel or cinders. If the manure
Is not taken directly from the stables
to the fields, 1t should be placed where
the cows cannot have access to it,

The Farmer Man on Homework

I've dug out stumps and built stone
walls
I've narrowed and plowed and
sown,
I've done all kinds of farm work,
1t seems. t was ever known,
But I've had a new experience,
One that l could not shirk,
For marin has had sciatiky,
And I've been dom the work
I've made punkin pies and ginger
bread,
Biscuits, rolls and cake;
I've learnd just how to grease tin
And how long things must bake.
I did not find those things so hard,
If I could just depend
On doii one thing at a time
And pursuin' it to the end.
But when I peel potatoes,
Mash turnips, season squash
And a dozen other things at once
1t stirs me up, by gosh!
1t sorter jounces up my thoughts
And leaves me daZed and blinded,
And 1 s'pose that's why the women
Are so pesky tickle minded.
Our neighbOrS are the best
That live upon the earth,
And we've had an opportunity
To realize their true worth
And I surely know their efforts
Have bin holdin' me in check
And kept me from becomin'
Almost total wreck.
I'm through now, and out of doors
I'm workin hard and fast,
Tryin' to straighten out my chores
~ And make up for the past.
AND when I go to feed the horse
I'm not waterin' cows
Nor chop. in wood nor shovelin' snow
Nor greasin' up my plows.
If sciatiky visits us agin,
I hope it's me it'll strike;
Then marin can do the homework,
And I'll groan all like.
But whether I groan or whether
swear,
You may not care a dime,
But Of this you may be certain,
I'll do but one at time.
