SOME FAULTS ma DIARIES.
conditions Which One City Milk In
spector Found to Exist on
Some Farms.

A civ milk inspector visited the
farms supplying milk to his city and
found many improper conditions exist
inc. In his report given below can you
find any item which would condemn
your dairy:
!. Barns not sufficiently ventilated
. Surroundings not sanitary, espe-
cially as to removal Of manure, when
usually found piled up against the barn
in a convenient place. This should not
be allowed to accumulate, but should
be removed daily.
8. Stanchions should be better
drained, and no stagnant water or PIGS
allowed, in the barn yard.
4. Milk houses not usually provided
with screens or cement floors. Flies
noticed in milk,
T. Cows udders should be cleansed
better. Some had an entirely wrong
idea of cleanliness, both as to the COWS
and as to the hands and the clothing
of the mixers. In one instance, asmaIl
bucket of cold water and thin, dirty
looking rag were used for all the cows
By the time the udders Of six COWS We're
washed off the water and wash rag were
not very clean.
6. In several diaries each mixer
would use several pals, and after tilI-
ing once would leave it stand uncovered,
open to the flies and numerous sources
of infection always present At two
places | found helpers sTaining milk
through dirty cloths, in which ahandtul
Of flies had found their last resting
place
T. Cans not sterillzed by boiling wa
ter or steam, but hastily washed with
ukewarm water, and set aside to dry
under roof, sometimes with cover on.
| This should not be done, 1t is impor-
tant to sterilize them with boiling wa
ter or superheated steam every time
they are used then put upon a clean
frame. upside down, with covers on,
and fully exposed to fresh air. Bottles
and other containers should be treated
likewise.
8, Chickens allowed too many liber-
ties about the place 1t is impossible
to train a chicken but the screens when
are needed to keep out flies and other
insects will keep them out
9. Improper feeding Some dairymen
consider certain feed good which l do
not think is fit to use. | will report
more fully upon this important subject
when I have concluded my inyestig0-
tiOns.
10. At one farm l noticed dogs were
used for driving his COWS. This l do
not believe good practice,
IT, In one place | found bad we'll
The water was used for the COWS and
also for rinsing the cans. When ty-
phoid fever is caused by the milk and
it has been traced to the milk in sew
eral epidemics, it is invariably due to
water used in rinsing the milk cans or
other containers with infected water.
This well was condemned.
Y. Whitewash not much used in the
barns. The above criticisms do not
apply to most Of the dairies Some
were models of cleanliness; barn clean,
fresh and well ventilated, stanchions
properly kept and drained, milk house
clean as a good housekeepers kitchen,
screens in nearly everywhere, and
cleanliness noticeable everywhere, The
fact that some diaries were models OF
cleanliness convinced the inspector that
it was not necessary to have the faults
mentioned in any of them.

DAIRY HINTS.

The milking machine promises to be-
come quite a factor before long.
A good COW is worth more money
than she brings in the market.
Good breeding and good feeding will
give an average weight Of 1000 pounds
to calf at u to IA months old.
The dairy business cannot be learned
in one day, one month, or one year.
There are things we must practice be-
fore we can learn them.
For removing warts on a cows teats
a Me. reauer says to apply sweet oil two
or three times daily, rubbing it in well
and the warts will soon disappear.
A poor cow or calf can often be made
to come up to the standard of the herd
by a little extra care and attention al
the beginning of the grass season.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink

Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.
1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is for
whisky or tobacco tiend to break off,
except that the coffee user can quit cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum is
well boiled and served with cream, 1t
Is really better in point of flavor than
most Of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
Is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place in
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left off and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the poi
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken liquid that
contains the most powerful elements OF
nourishment.
IL is easy TO make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum Food Coffee.
There's reason"

Among this class the symptoms OF
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part OF the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite until life is burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
