The milking machine idea is certain
~ making rapid and favorable progress
In the minds of dairymen.
A writer in Hoard's Dairyman de-
scribes a milking machine exhibited at
the New York state dairymen's conven-
ton, the invention of a Mr. Klein Of
Roanoke, Va. In many respects, he
says, it resembles the Burrell machine.
1t consists of a pail. smallest at the
top, with a cover which fits closely,
making it air tight. On the cover are
metal tubes for the attachment of the
rubber tubes leading to each of the
two cows that are simultaneously milk
ed into the one pail. There is also an
automatic arrangement on the cover
called the pulsator. 1t is by means of
this that the intermittent action of the
machine is made possible. AS the
pulsator oscillates, which it does at the
rate of about sixty oscillations per min
ute, the vacuum is alternately turned
On and off the teat cups, causing sue
ton and release from suction at each
alternate stroke. This gives opportuni-
ty for the teat to fill after each act of
suction by the machine. The method
Of operating the pulsator seems to be

It is not the kind of house we
build, but the way we build it. A
house 10 by II will give us 120 square
feet Of floor space. Do not put twenty
five light Brahmas in that house and
expect good results. for if you do you
will be disappointed. However, you
could put twenty Rocks or Wyandottes
In that pen or twenty-five Leghorns or
any of the smaller varieties.
If you have flock of birds numbering
over 100, divide them into lots of not
more than twenty-five. then you can
watch them better, look after them and
pick out the drones.
In building this fall try to arrange
the size OF your houses so as not to
waste much lumber. A good house is
one seven and one-half feet high in
front and four and one-half in the rear
This will take twelve foot board, and
all that Is lost is the sawdust The
greater economy we use in the business
the larger the profits are.
Provide at least six square feet of
room in each pen per bird and at least
loo square feet per bird in the yards
Build your houses damp proof, but
have plenty Of sunlight and provide for
the circulation of air. Avoid direct
drafts on the birds.
II the ground upon which your house
Is built is low, provide board floors,
although earth floors are better If they
can be had dry.-N. A. King in Ameri-
can Poultry Advocate.

Antwerp and Shipping.

Nearly one-half of the shipping traffic
to and from Antwerp is carried on I'M
der the British and American flags,
and this has made Antwerp almost an
English speaking port. Free night
schools for exclusive classes in Eng
lish, organized by the city authorities,
are attended by thousands of pupils,
while special attention is paid to the
study Of English in all the grades of
the day schools, public as well as pri
vate. This desire to popularize the Eng
lish language is not confined to Bel
GUM, but has extended to Germany as
well. where schools Of instruction have
already been established at Munich
and Nuremberg by the German gov
eminent
A Gill.

MILKING MACHINE.

the chief point of difference between
this machine and the one previously
described. Mr.. Klein has a specially
constructed apparatus, operated by
power, which consists of an exhaust
pump and a compressor, both coupled
to one arbor. The exhaust produces
the suction and operates the pulsator
in one direction, while the compressor
operates the pulsator in the opposite
direction.
AT the convention the milking of four
cows was witnessed by the writer, and
even with that short experience the
cows actually seemed to enjoy the OPP
Grafton. One COW made a few demon
STATIONS not unfamiliar to dairyman,
but the cause seemed to be that the OPP
orator was on the wrong side rather
than any real objection to the ma
chine. 1t is evident that with the pail
standing between the cows and two
cows MIXED at the same time one Of
them must be MIXED from the side op-
posite that which a man usually ap-
breaches when going to milk.
AS everybody was saying, the ma
chine MIXED the cows all right. There
was little stripping to be DONE though
not much. Whether the cows decreased
in flow of milk by the use Of the
machine can hardly be stated posi-
lively, though it was claimed that the
quantity was about as usual.
So far as the dairyman is concerned
with the various inventions in milking
machines 1t would seem advisable to
observe awhile

New National Dairy Associations

A number of important points were
brought out In the papers and discus
sion at the meeting and organization
of the new National Association of
Dairy Instructors and Investigators.
The urgent need was mentioned OF
scientific work necessary to solve
many dairy problems-for example, the
control of moisture in butter, quick
and efficient method OF determining
moisture, causes and remedy of fishy
flavor in butter, influence Of pasteur-
iZation on food value of milk, influence
of ripening on digestibility OF cheese.
Emphasis was placed on the demand
for more and better trained men in
dairy work and raising the standard
OF dairy instruction. 1t was also
agreed that less time should be de-
voted to lectures and more to practi-
cal work iH short courses. Every effort
should be put forth to encourage keep
ing yearly records of dairy cows
There Is much need for more scientific
and uniform work in connection with
the subject of feeding dairy cows.
The scientific principles involved in
the manufacture of condensed milk
should be studied. The value of cheese
as feed is not sufficiently appreci-
ated in the country, and efforts should
be made to increase its consumption.

THE GUINEA FOWL,
y Valuable Bird to Have ON tho
Farm of Average Size.

= Valuable Bird to Have ON tho
Farm OF Average Size.
Ono OF the main reasons why the
guinea fowl is so eminently suited to
farms Is that free range Is necessary
In order to insure success. 1t is almost
useless attempting to rear the chickens
or to maintain the adult stock in con-
fnement. 1 know several cases in
which such a practice has been tried,
but know OF no instance in which it
has proved success, says writer in
the Feather. 1t is surprising how far
the birds viii wander during the day.
! have frequently seen them two and
three miles away from home, but there
Is little fear Of their not returning at
night. as Invariably with the approach
Of evening they return to the home
stead. Guinea fowls are wonderful
foragers. ard after the first few weeks
they VIII obtain nearly sufficient food
to support themselves During seven
months cut CT the twelve the adult
birds require practically no feeding, as
they are abe to find plentiful supply
Of seeds. g-ubs and insects to keep
them in good condition, and it is only
during the winter that they should be
supplied with mich artificial food, two
small feeds day proving ample.
In orsier to succeed with guinea
fowls. it is necessary that the location
shall be suitable Upon heavy clay
land they Go not thrive WELL the most
suitable soil consisting or medium
loan upon gravel subsoil. Very
sandy soil is not good, as 1t contains
50 Iittio animal life without which sue
cess can never be attained When
they are upon dry. we'll drained land
very little difficulty is experienced in
rear.2s. the chickens. and they only re
Guire careful :ttcation during the first
few weeks OF their lives. After this
they are able to work for their own
living and are no more trouble to their
owners.
In one respect it has been found I'M
possible to thoroughly domesticate
guinea fowls. They always steal their
nests and cannot be persuaded to sit
In specially constructed boxes. Even
with a flock of about 200, which were
as tame as ordinary fowls. 1t was Inn
possible to make the hens sit in the
place provided. In a few cases, when
1t was accomplished, the percentage
was extremely poor, and those
that did make their exit from the shell
were delicate and weakly.

The squad That's Wanted.

1t is true many are going into the
SQUAD business, whether they know
much or little about the ups and downs
OF that kind OF work, says American
Poultry Advocate. BY that many i'm
agine the business will be overdone
Not much fear along that line, from the
fact that there is a constant and in
creasing demand. And as the supply
Of game is getting scarce and more
scarce each year, there is going to be
