Surely here Is q wonderful transformation and a prac- tical leader.
 Evidently this strange experiment in self-government has done great things for the leadera Those who know the system, best but who may possibly be partial, claim that it has greatly helped the followers as well as the leaders. Certainly in bearing towards visitors. in neatness of person and dress, and in far moro substantial ways. the results are gratifying.
 The chief industries at which the cit- txens (and their convfcts) work are bread and wafer baking, laundryine, making of handmade furniture. cook ing, sewing, printing. farm work, housework. and labor about buildings and grounds. The equipment is by no means complete. except in the bakery. Here about 120 pounds of chocolate and ginger waters are manufactured daily and shipped all over the country. be- sides the baking of the bread for the community.
 The chief source of income is private and personal donations. The sales of waters and of furniture are important
 means of support. The products of the farm are large and valuable, and are consumed by the community. The farm Is equipped with a $10.000 barn, two silos. a large herd of Holstein and shorthorn dairy cows. and fair assort- ment of farm implements. Farm work evidently does not attract so many boys as do the indoor industries. I should a re a A A

 This disease is not really a fever, but paralysis following soon after calving
 with heavy milkers. It is usually
 caused by letting the COW get too fat at calvins, or by milking out the udder too clean after dropping the calf. If
 there are no symptoms of sarset in the udder. 1t is now considered best to leave
 some milk in the udder to prevent milk fever. This sounds contradictory to our
 first advice about assisting the calf to clean out the udder. but there Is a hap py medium to be maintained between the two courses that common sense will dictate. If there seems to be no dan ger of milk fever. and some danger of garget, I would milk the udder clean. If there Is no danger of garget and
 some fear of milk fever. I would leave half the milk in each tsat equally for a couple of days after calving, and after that time milk h all out clean. It is the practice of taking out every drop of milk within one to/hve hours after calving that often preeipitates milk fe- yer. In case both garget and milk fe- yer Is feared, I would milk the udder pretty clean and use the treatment for the latter disease, if 1t comes.
 Modern methods Of treating milk fe- yer have worked wonders. removing ss per cent of the loss by death, and mak- ing 1t a disease that is easier to cure than a bad case of impaction or Texas fever One good preventive is to give the cow a small dose of salts soon after ca1ving, or perhaps a stimulant of whis- key and quinine If she appears to droop.
 The first symptoms of this fever. or a
 paralysis. are shifting and staggering of the hind feet. weakness in the loins, finally making the COW get down and practically helpless. When the COW lies with her nose turned back resting near either flank, breathing loud, and eyes beginning to get glazed and insen- gible to the touch of the finger, you may rest assured this Is the trouble, and work accordingly. = The only treatment necessary Is to
 distend the udder with pure air. com mon wind. and retain 1t there for twelve l to twenty hours. This required the use of milking tube to insert in the teat, and some form of syringe. bellows or air pump. Every dairyman ought to have one or more of the little silver | tubes on hand. as they are always use l ful. They can be bought for 800 to 40e from John D. Daniel Co., Atlanta, or | from I. A Madden. Atlanta.
 If 1t is impossiblye to get a regular milk tube at once use a small glass tube or rubber tube, or even a quill of a chicken feather with hole punched | through the small end. The principal precaution necessary in this work Is to have the tube clean and pump only clean air into the udder. An ordinary | rubber household syringe bulb may be used to do tho forcing of air, or a bi- cycle pump. Wash the udder and teats of the cows thoroughly with warm soap studs. wipe dry. milk out all the milk you can, and leave a clean towel
 or sack under the udder. Have the milk tube clean and grease 1t with lard or vaseline. Insert the metal tube care fully up into the teat. then pump air with the bulb or piston until you have nlIed that quarter of the udder full of air. so that 1t Is medium tight and tense. Tie a soft strip of cloth around the teat to prevent the air from escap- ing. Treat all four quarters in the same way, prop the COW up in a sitting position, and leave her alone for three to i've hours. In most cases she will feel better in half an hour, and get up by herself within two hours. In one case near Experiment recently, we pumped the afr into udder at D. m, with the COW apparently very near dead,
 and at 4:S0 she rose and begun eating grass. Another case was treated at 5
 p. m. which the owner did not expect
 to live through the night, and at 7:30
 she got up and ate a good sized bran mash. Both are hearty today. Very few bad results follow the air treat
 ment, as was the case at times with the injection of potassium iodide. which has been used formerly. When the COW atrfn ha Nal
