Our village is grief stricken over q
sad accident which occurred here last
Sunday afternoon, when q special
train loaded with ties came from the
east and our section foreman, Ole
Lindquist, attempted to board the
cars while they we're running at the
rate of IL miles an hour. He lost his
grip with one hand and was unable to
hold his weight with the other, and
fell between the depot platform and
the car. The wheels rolled over his
neck, which came just over the rail.
Several cars passed over him and his
head was severed from the body. DR..
Kriesel the coroner, was called, and
summoned the following jurors for an
inquest: N. Forsberg, J. o. Nelson
and E. Schold. The jury declared

Dairy Wisdom In Brief

It was q great invention that was
Babcock tester was discovered. The
influence which it has exercised upon
the dairy industry would not be easy
to estimate. There Is another tester
wanted, however, that has not been
invented yet. 1t Is some instrument
that will readily tell the amount of
filth in the milk. Is it impossible to
invent such an instrument? = Orange
Judd Farmer.
Solder II Cheap and Clean.
Plug up the holes in your milk pals,
but don't do it with old rags. Solder
is cheap and clean.
No Corners In Model Barn.
Rev. Mr.. DIETRICH, the model farm
er," has no corners" in his dairy barns
--at least no square corners. All right
angle joints are made slightly concave.
90 that dirt and germs will find no
lodging place, and, as Mr., DIETRICH says,
1T is far easier to clean q round than
4 square corner"
Bedding For Cows.
While bedding material for cows
should be as free as possible from
dust and dirt that might get into the
milk and should not irritate the skin
Of the animals, two other important
requirements are the keeping of AMI
mails clean and the power Of absorb
ing liquid manure.
The Best Milking Machine.
They say they have milking ma
chine at last that will do the work.
but, like the flying machine. 1t will be
some time before It is in common usa.
The farm boy or girl growing up with
out knowing how to milk Is missing q
valuable part Of his education. Milk
ing Is not disagreeable work when all
the conditions are right. Have the
conditions right and start the boys and
girls early. No milking machine can
ever come up to good, faithful boy.
and . good girl IL just little better.
says Kimball's Dairy Farmer.
Care ~ the Ysungstsrs.
Give the calves the sunniest. warm

It il best to keep the youngsters in
loose boxes, 90 they will have plenty Of
exercise. They should be handled and
taught 10 lead.
lf calves are dropped and the sta
bles are not very warm small blanket
should be lifted TO each one. These
may b made from pieces Of old wool
blankets, and the straps or strings can
b let out as the youngster grows.

bran and middfings to keep them grow

,GesDarra. ., General Purpose.

8COO0xKoA On 0eAero1 Purpose
In the general purpose animal idea
''the wish is father to the thought" Men
want the general purpose cow because
she would be so handy and profitable.
! will admit it would be very attrac-
tive addition to the herd, at one barn
at least, IL could have half hundred
Jerseys displaced by cows that would
eat no more per capita and give as
much or more milk that would test as
much or more at the creamery. Each
year or oftener each would give me q
big calf that could be started right OF
ON short cut to a profitable market as
baby beef, and when each ones own
life milking fever was over or going
into decline she would offer up her
carcass on the altar of her final general
purposeness, as prime. market topping
beef.
I guess Byron was thinking Of the
dairyman with the general purpose
hope In his heart when he said:
"There comes forever something be-
tween Us and what we deem our hap
piness."
The general purpose cow as a fixed.
breedible fact would make Us happy,
with a gospel measure Of dairy happi-
ness. But the thing that comes be-
tween is the fact that we can't get her.
That's the fly in the ointment That's
the beam In the dual COW mans eye
the hope deferred that maketh the
heart sick and the other fellow tired

TUBERCULOSIS AGAIN.
The Cow . Source Of Health and
Strength to Mank ind.

Strength to Manki ind.
At recent meeting OF a city organ
ization an instructor in Lacteriology
delivered an address on tuberculosis, by
which the impression was left that
milk is dangerous food. though he
declared that germs of tuberculosis are
everywhere and that probably every
man in the audience had them in his
body, perhaps in sufficient quantity to
say that he had tuberculosis in passive
form. And here Is the danger that lies
In the discussion of this question from
one side only. The public gets wrong
impressions because it has not complete
Information. Bovine and human tuber-
culosis may be identical. and an occa.
sional cow may put some germs of tu-
berculosis In milk, but there is far less
danger from milk than from air, not
only because there are fewer such
germs in milk than in air, but because
In milk they do not directly reach the
part Of the human body most liable to
infection, as they do in air. Besides,
city milk is very largely sterilized and
20 made safer than air. But supposing
things were even between milk and air
two parallel questions would arise: Are
we to stop breathing7 Are we to stop
using milk? We may state as a gen.
eral truth that the cow is a great
source Of health and strength to hu-
manity and minor source of trouble.
The public should be impressed with
the fact that dairy products are gener-
ally health giving and always so when
properly handled.-National Stockman.

The Constitution Of New York.

A monumental work has been built by
Mr.. Charles z. Lincoln in the five volumes
Of THE Constitutional History Of New
York. CThe Lawyers Cooperative Pub
fishing. Company, Rochester, N. " The
title does not describe the book exactly,
for 1t is rather a succession Of documents
with elaborate commentaries than a d.
gested history, though the proceedings in
each constitutional convention are told in
great detail. Every document that applies
to the government Of the State Of New
York Is given in full and Is divided con-
veniently into sub-heads for the purpose OF
reference.
In the first two volumes we find both
Magma Charta and the Barons' Articles,
followed by the 1883 Charter Of Liberties,
by the Declaration Of Independence, the
Articles of Confederation and the Constitu-
ton Of the United States with the Amend
ments. These are followed by the text
Of the first Constitution Of New York, l777,
and by those Of 1921, 1s46 and 1894, with the
Intervening, and in the last case the subse-
quent, amendments through 1905. Follow
ing on these come the historical chapters,
in which much more space is devoted to
the account Of the documents themselves
and the manner in which they were evolved
than to general history.
The proceedings in each constitutional
convention are described deliberately; to

n. W. Come along, all vagabonds," says
the author in his opening poem. He takes
a last walk in autumn, regarding the brown
ing pastures, the varying grays Of beech
and oak and t~hornapple bushes, the sur
viving bright colors close to the ground,
as from sumaoh and mullen and the moses
and lichens. He has a vagabondia for
shut-ins, describing what may be seen
from the window by those who cannot go
outdoors. One Of the chapters is about
rivers, another about fellowship, another
about night, another about the art Of loaflng.
Show places are considered, also fishing,
the old homestead, and stone walls. The
verses are about the twilight, the October
woods, the hazy days, the hill road, the
willows by the pasture brook.
The shade trees on the avenues
Have ceased their masquerade and thrown
To winds their gaudy garb. and crews
OF boisterous children those far strewu
Remnants Of mantles gay
In srmfuls heap in a blazing pile.
The pungent incense Nils the air
And flames leap high and uddy. while
Their weird. uncertain, htful glare
Turns red the twilight gray.

Where fancy broods In unpropltous dreams.

Hope and the unreluctant Hours haste;
Wan and emaclated she sits embraced
Within her own unfrultful thoughts. nor seems

Through the encircling gloom anon her eyes.

And all those Hosts OF Happier Dreams which link
Sorrow with Gladness pass. until the drink
