Bacteria In MIX.

Il is suggestive, If not in fact a
cheering, sign of the times that in the
published lists of exhibits at the nu
merous county fairs round about
there appear so many inventions and
devices for the better care and hand
ling Of milk. 1t was the statement OF
a member OF the state department g
agriculture, recently publicly made,
that one-fourth of the farmers send
their milk to the butter and cheese
factories with enough bacteria to
contaminate the supply contributed by
the other three-fourths. The issue
OF cleanliness and healthfulness in
milk supplied direct to the consumer
is an exceedingly vital one, but one
also to which the average consumer
does not give sufficient concern. With
the question of the treatment of milk
the inventors of appliances, the scien-
lists and authorities must deal; the
question of cleanliness is simpler and
one with which all with ordinary in
telligence may deal. And lack of
cleanliness is the great failing on the
average farm. Even in the cleanest
possible modes of milking by hand
there are 300 germs to the cubic cen
timeter of milk, and in the average
milk there are 10000 to 10000, while
the number in cases of unclean milk
sometimes rises as high as 100000
Nine-tenths of the foreign matter con
tanned in the ordinary can of milk
may be kept out without expense by
the exercise of care. But as there is
no effect without cause, so in this
multitude Of inventions for the bet
ter handling of milk there may be
traced growing desire on the part
of the farmers to meet the demands
for improvement, says the Troy
Times. That the demand is appar-
ent and growing in popular vigoT
there is not the remotest doubt.

Alcohol as a Fuel.

We have in ethyl alcohol an ideal
fuel-colorless, limpid, of moderate
boiling point, about so degrees below
that OF water non-freezing, burning
without smoke, mixing with water in
all proportions, and therefore its flame
extinguished by water, clearly, drying
off completely when spilled, not at.
tracing rubber gaskets or packings
and noncorrosive for metal tanks and
holders. The fact that its flame is
blush, or so-called nonluminous
means that the flame Is almost devoid
OF free carbon particles, with their
intense heat radiating power fact
of considerable Importance. When
gasoline or heavy oils are burning the
Game, loaded with free carbon or SCOT,
radiates heat to such degree that 1t
is not possible to approach near the
con1agration, and combustible sur.
roundings are readily fired by pure
radiation OF heat. The production OF
alcohol on large scale is simple,
and the raw materials already exist
In considerable variety. All saccha.
rine or starchy growths are available,
Saccharine wastes are now largely
used in Cuba for alcohol production.
This alcohol will, in properly or.
ganized engine, equal. volume for vol.
ume, gasoline now sold at a much
higher price in producing power,
says Casters Magazine. Even In
the immediate future, then, it is
evident that alcohol has a large field
OF usefulness. The farmer need not
depend on wood, coal or oil for his
power. His agricultural wastes will
furnish it. His fields need only re
ceive the sunshine and be given suf
ficient water, and thence any croI
yielding starch or sugar, however un
marketable otherwise, may be made
the source of power, light and heat

of little Mary Edick, age II, grand
daughter Of United States Commits
sioner Shields, in saving the life of
her playmate, Tommy Williams, age
ten. 1t was in the Hudson river, off
Grand View. Tommy had swan out
into the river long distance-much
longer than he had ever attempted
before and then discovered, out
failing. That discovery brought panic,
and, with a scream for help, he sank.
At first Mary, watching his FRANKS

playing. When he rose to the sur

and again he disappeared. Instantly
Mary dived from the pier and swan
with all her strength toward the rip

him by the hair. Holding him at

made for the shore, crying for help.
