GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE.
Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

"There was travelling man." said
the night operator, whose wife pre-
sented him with son while he was
out drumming up trade. The doctor
got the mans address, and, since his
wife was doing none too WELL wrote
out a message giving him the news
and telling him to return.
"The doctor gave the message to
the cook, who couldn't read. She
forgot to send it. and the next day the
drummer came home of his own ac-
cord
He stayed a day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing, as it hap
pened, was said about the forgotten
telegram.
'And at the end of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation of horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the Office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got it that night he was terrified.
What he read was this:
Another addition-a son; your
wife very i'll; return at once
'He took the midnight train for
home. He was like man in a trance.
Another he kept muttering in
dazed voice. Impossible!'
"On getting home he was so reliev-
ed when everything was explained to
him that he decided not to fire the
cook, after all"

DAIRY NOTES.

Saltless butter is now rapidly COM
ing into favor.
One years record is not sufficient
by which to judge COW.
Milk from sick cow is only good
for one thing-to throw away.
If butter contains much water it will
absorb many odors.
There are 100000 globules of but
ter fat in one drop of milk.
The last drop of milk is the best, so
don't leave any in the udder.
Cold and exposure will give cows ca
tarrh and nearly all other diseases.
If you want to get on we'll with the
hired man, treat him kindly. The same
rule applies to cows.
The man that has half dozen cows
will find it paying investment to pur-
chase hand separator.
If milk is kept at a temperature of
40 degrees, bacteria will not multiply
in it. They will increase at As degrees,
and at SIS degrees milk viii swarm
with them.

Ground Plan of Milk House.

be best for small farm dairy or milk
house? What size should it be?
2. Would it faint the milk to keep a
gasoline engine in the dairy?
g. How much ice should be stored?
A. How far should milk house be
from stable to be safe from tainting?
To which questions the following
answers are made:
/. If built of cement, would adj
wise using cement blocks. The
inside of the refrigerator and ice
house would need an eight-inch space
filled with mill shavings and lined on
the inside with one Or two thicknesses
of lumber and damp-proof paper. The
cold air circulates from the ice-house
to the refrigerator on the Hanrahan
system. The ice-house should not be
opened during warm weather, An ex-
ira supply of ice for cooling milk
should be in separate building. An
ordinary ventilator on the top of the
milk room is all that is necessary.
The room may be further cooled by
using a sub-earth duct, built of eight
inch tile placed eight to ten feet in
the ground and at least 100 feet in
length. The ceiling above the refrig-
orator and ice-house should have about
one foot of dry sawdust or mill shaw
ings on top to give protection from
heat. Means for ventilating space be-
tween ceiling and roof should be pro-
vided by leaving the cornice boards
off at the sides, so that the air may
circulate through these spaces and up
to the ventilator on the roof.
2. A gasoline engine would be very
apt to faint the milk if kept in the
dairy Would prefer having it in sep
arate building.
3. The quantity of ice required to
cool eight cans of milk daily would
depend on the amount, temperature of
water available, temperature to which
milk was cooled, etc. On the average
we should estimate so tons of ice as
necessary. In the plan, we have al
lowed for three times this amount, so
as to have ample room for cooling
milk, ETC., for household purposes, be-
sides some to give away to the neigh
bors. If the ice is to be used daily
for cooling milk, then an ice-house
10x12x20 would be large enough. The
milk room may also be smaller, or left
out altogether if Subscriber has an
other room for washing, bottling, etc.
The ice-house and refrigerator would
answer the purpose ON most farms.
The milk-room could be added after
wards if found necessary. This is true
if cold water be available for cooling
the milk, which may then be set in
the refrigerator until ready for ship
ment.
4. How far the milk house should be
from the stable would depend greatly
upon circumstances-how clean stable
and yards are kept, etc. We should
say that on the average they should
be at least 60 feet apart. The closer
they are together the less the labor
involved in caring for the milk, but
the greater the danger of it's being
tainted from the stable.

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Ms. Gotta, Confined to Bed and in
Constant Pain, Cured by Dr..
Williams Pink Pills.

Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease OF the blood.
IF is necessary. therefore, to treat it
through the blood if permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is i'll the blood
ire pain will return, perhaps i'll new
place. but it will surely return. DR.. Will
iiams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.

Conn.,, is the wife of the village ma
chinist. s.Several years ago" she says,
ST was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. | was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell so badly that could
not get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
of three weeks during which was con-
fined to the bed. My sufferings were
awful and the doctor S medicine did not
help me.
Gone dav a neighbor told me about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try them. After | had taken them a
short time was decidedly better and a
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent.
Remember DIR. Williams Pink Pills do
not act on the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weak and make
miserable, complaining people strong,
