PRACTICE LETHAL CUSTOM
Pangs of HydrOphobia are

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.--For the FIRST
time in the medical history of Phila-
delphia, euthanasia, or at least
form of the lethal doctrine OF Miss
Anna NJ Hall, Mrs. Maud Ballington

has been put in practice in this city.
Several physicians, among the best
in Philadelphia, one of them the uncle
of the victim and another a cousin,
sat at the bedside of Miss Julia Cur
tin, grandnlece of Pennsylvania's ia
nous war governor, and for seven days
stilied with ether the pangs of hydro
phobia until the girl was dead. It was
with the full consent of the family
that the drag was administered, The
girl did not know. The paroxysms
were growing greater and the periods
Of consciousness less frequent. Dur

Pig Notes

Sucking sows require extra good
feeding with some succulent foods,
slops, ETC., or they lose flesh rapidly
and go down below normal condition.
Brood sows three to six years old
grow the strongest and best pigs,
which have more vitality to resist
disease germs.
All waste from the kitchen is whole
some and suitable as food for pigs, but
swill barrel that is never empty is
bad thing to have around.
The thumps in pigs is often caused
by an excess of fat about the internal
organs and especially around the
heart.
Pigs often lack vigor because the
brood sows are kept too fat. A good
thrifty condition is much better for
the pigs than too much fat.
Give the pigs fair start in life by
feeding the SOW upon milk producing
rations. There is nothing much bet
ter than skim milk mixed with shorts.

The sabcock Test for Farmers Use

In the National Stockman and

pointers about farmers using milk
tester. He says:
1t is to be regretted that so few
farmers use the milk tester, but in
fact very few own and use this val
liable little dairy implement. Of
course everybody has scale, and if
he doubts someone's weighing he uses
the scale to determine the matter.
He has bushel, half-bushel, peck,
quart and yardstick to measure with,
and uses them But in today's mar
keting when you sell milk by the
pound or quart that is really not the
final basic unit, because man has
found it SO easy to extend the quarts

Dairy Notes

The greatest milking record known
is that of New Zealand farmer and
his wife, who milked seventy-two COWS
every night and morning without any
help. Both the man and his wife were
stout and robust. They must have
been inferior cows, or they could not
have gotten through with them all
twice in day.
One of our farm readers says that
he has young COW a little over
year old which has triplet calves, and
that her granddam this spring had
three calves also, all doing WELL At
that rate one can soon grow a herd
Indiana Farmer.
The small farm with the small herd
is vastly better than large farm with
a large herd, because the small farm
will do more in proportion than the
large one.
1t is estimated that an active man
and an active boy can attend to fifteen
cows. These on fifty acres of land
near good town ought to make for
him a good living.
Salt, thoroughly rubbed around on
the inside of the churn, after it has
| been rinsed with hot water, is first
rate thing to make it clean and sweet.
| Rinse the salt out with water.
The following figures show how i'm.
portant it is to exercise care in wash
ing milk pals, for in an actual ex-
pertinent there were found: In the
first washing 7,S39,OO0 bacteria, in the
second washing $4,000, and in the
third washing $4,000.

The Morning After the Dance

The Morning After the Dance
The dance broke up at twa a. M, We
reached our beds at four.
At five o'clock the farmers fist was
rapping at our door,
"Wake up" says he, "your breakfast
waits--we most uncommon late;
The hogs are squealing give us corn
the cows are at the gate"
We heard his heavy tread retreat
along the naked floor,
Six steps it may have been, or seven
and then we heard no more.
Sleeps touch that sealed our eyelids
down was feather-soft and sweet;
Our dreams were all of sparkling eyes
and little twinkling feet.
Again we waltzed Matilda Jane and
Annabe and Sue,
And chased down the middle of the
parlor two by two;
But, just as we were bowling our part
ners to their chairs,
The farmers cowhide boots again
we're heard upon the stairs.
With sighs and groans, we fumbled
and grumbled in the gloom,
For shoes and such etceteras that car
peted the room.
The frost was on the drowsy corn
what time we drove that way;
The moon still lit the silent vault, as
when we came from play;
The reedy ponds were garmented with
gossamery lines;
The stars were blinking sleepily above
the somber pines;
The sun was gliding Boston's domes
a thousand miles down east,
And evening seemed a thousand years
away from us, at least.
A thousand years from two of us
Bills thoughts were lighter toned;
He grinned and gaped and chuckled
while we yawned and husked and
groaned

Effect Of SiIage on the Flavor of Milk
The use Of corn silage In milk pro-
duction has become well established.
Experimental results and practical ex-
perience have alike been favorable to
the economy of this method of utiliz-
ing crops where dairy farming is con-
Quoted on scale at all extensive.
From time to time, objections have
been raised to the use of silage, on
the ground that it imparts an unpleas-
ant or disagreeable flavor to the milk.
Considerable has been written on this
subject, including several articles in
recent experiment-station publications,
most of which is summarized in a bull
letin just issued by the department
of agriculture.
In work with corn silage at the
Wisconsin experiment station it was
demonstrated beyond question that
when silage is fed a short time be-
fore milking a sweetish odor is i'm
parted to milk, by which it may be
detected from milk not produced from
siIage. 1t was further demonstrated
that If the silage is fed to COWS just
after milking, in the majority of cases
milks so produced could not be sep
arated by the sense of smell from nom
silage milks. Butter made from such
milk, while still possessing the sweet
ish silage odor, was scored by experts
higher for flavor than other butter.
1t may be concluded from more re-
cent results that it is now generally
recognized that, with the improved
modern methods of using silage and
with proper precautions to prevent the
milk after it has been drawn from the
cow from being tainted with the OBJ
jectionable odor of badly fermented
silage, the material may be freely
used without danger of injury to the
quality of dairy products.
