Facts About Milking.

Opinions differ very Lnuch as to the
manner in which the operator should
proceed in milking COW. Some con-
tend that the proper plan is to draw
the near fore and the off hind teats ST.
multaneously and then the off fore and
the near hind teats, while others argue
that both the hind teats should be first
drawn, and still others contend that
the whole of one side Of the udder
should be drawn ere the other side is
touched. We are not aware that there
is really very much in 1t either way,
but it is suggestive to learn that In an
investigation conducted some time ago
by Professor Babcock. the we'll known
dairy expert, it was found that the or
der in which the teats were MIXED eX-
erciSed considerable influence Oh the
quality Of the milk obtained. 1t was
found that the tCat that was drawn
second in order almost invariably
yielded the richest milk; then came the
teat that was first MIXED and next in
order the third and fourth, the last one
drawn invariably giving the poorest
milk. From these results ProfrS 'Or
Babcock argues that milk is pretty
largely formed during the act Of milk
ing and that il does not accumulate TO
any extent in the ready made condition

What is regarded as the earliest ref

Testament where Abraham refuses to

the shoe played an important part in
many social usCgrS. When buying or

Egyptian mumlnics proves that the
wearing of shoes is almost as old as

teenth century every lady of any pre-
tension to fashion or position wore
what were called 'chOpIines," high
clogs or pattenS. to elevate them from
the ground. Thomas COryat. traveller
who visited Venice in 1G11, says OF
them: 'They are so common in Venice

GOVERNMENT INSPECTION.

In quite all the countries on the face OF the
earth, except the United States Of America, the
government provides Strengthening houses, which
the people may use for the slaughtering of ami
mails for food purposes Here the animals are
slaughtered under inspection and, as a matter
of fact every man engaged in the meat business
is an inspector of the animals killed meats
handled by every other competitor. And under
such surroundings and surveillance ii would be
impossible to slaughter and prepare for sale
animal unfit for human food either by age or
uncleanliness, such an animal as the Beef Trust
classes as a Gamer" 1t is possible that there
might be INSCRIPTIONS people who would kill
and put upon the market such animal food II
they dared, but in countries where laws are
enforced even the great Beef Trust would not
dare.
But in the United States the Beef Trust does
dare, and hundreds of thousands of such can
ner" animals are slaughtered and put on the
markets every year, one packing house advertis-
ing that its cutting floor capacity is two hun
dred and fifty cattle per hour, fifteen thousand
cattle each week; that its output is five million
cans per month besides smoked beef, barrelled
meats and sausages Of every variety, all noted
for their natural flavor" And before the days
OF the packing house and the Beef Trust there
was no market for such animals: nobody ever
thought of selling them; and in no other country
IN the world could they be sold even, TO say
nothing about slaughtering and putting on the
market as animal food All 10 the everlasting
shame and disgrace of American society that

sausages in a market day. and after making
inquiry as to the price asked how long they
would keep The dealer, who was not prac-

meats as he did about any other business, re-
piled that he did not know just how long they
would keep; that sometimes they had pork
sausages in stock quite a long time. and he had
never known them to spoil. The gentleman
took some Of the sausages, but remarked that
he did not lust understand how pork sausages
could be made to keep indefinite time with

THE COLD STORAGE FOWL.

The Beef Trust puts up-that is, it kills and
packs for market-what has come to be known
as the cold storage fowl. And a cold storage
fowl is about hard a proposition, either to
look at or handle, as one would look for When
the barrels of poultry that picked up along
the railroads are unoaded at the cold storage
warehouses; the barrels are dumped the poultry
is sorted and dried and packed in boxes holding
a hundred pounds. The time that elapses be-
fore order is received for the box of fowls
does not enter into the consideration of the
question. 1t is said that the cold storage ware
houses have cases of poultry yet in stock that
ware killed and packed more than two years
ago; and il is further stated that the meats are
in good condition All this may be true. but if
one is to eat cold storage poultry, it is quite
necessary that the dealer first put 1t In order for
inspection. The flesh must be wiped dry with a
cloth, and after it is weighed it is necessary to
go behind the partition. and out of sight of
prying eyes, to draw it, or remove the entra1ls.
And the nasty, greenish mess that has been
stored in the meat of the fowl chicken for
weeks or months, and the smell and faint that
1t has impaired to the flesh are disgusting.
But, by the use Of chemicals and dopes and the
cleaning process soon the fowl does not look so
badly. The prices of fowls and chickens are so
high that the common people cannot AFFORD 10
buy them, and a good share of the poultry is
sold orders of people who do their marketing
over the telephone. And what world of worry
is saved by the use Of the telephone in ordering
the choice young chicken for the Sunday dinner!
The purchaser can neither see the hOrrid con-
the vile taints, nor know how it is put In con-
dition for the cooking. And the Beef Trust
takes great credit to itself by so preparing pouI-

wasted his time or words in propounding the
question. In tho manufacture of pork sausages.
as In the manufacture of bOlognas and other
beef sausages, chemistry plays an important
part. A pork sausage that can be kept free
