THE MILKING MACHINE

A practical machine has recently
been invented which aims TO repro
duce accurately the action of the
hands when milking and SO to milk
cow by mechanical means. The
teats of the COW are engaged by a
series OF rollers which pass against
them in succession, giving them an
opportunity after each passage to be
refilled from the udder. The advan-
tage claimed for the machine is that
in insures a clean supply OF milk, as
the teats are not touched by hand at
all.

IMMIGRATION
Settlers and Laborers
Can Be Secured, Says
Com. Sargent.

Warm Springs, Ca, June IL
Some very notable speeches were
made here last week on the sub
iect of emigration. The meeting
was attended by manufacturers,
farmers and railroad men all of
whom want 70 get more labor in
the state. Thousands Of farm
ers say they cannot get enough
help to make their or ps. Every
where the factories complain
that they are short Of help The
railroads say that labor is very
scarce with them. When con-
tractor gets a good force, some
other contractor sends an agent
around ard he lures off all he
can get.
An Alabama man said that his
com pany is putting up a building
which was to cost 100000. On
account of the scarcity of labor
the cost will be $4,000 more
than that.
Frank P. Sargent, Com missin-
err General of EN- migration, came
down from Washington and
made an address. He said that
Georgia can get i'm migrants if
she will 60 at it in earnest.
Less than $500 i'm migrants
have come to Georgia in the last
ten years while more than a mil
lion came to the United States
last year. He advocated State
Bureau saying that Georgia
ought to publish in foreign laugu-
ages about resources and oppor-
tunities and send this matter
abroad. He also favored direct
stea mship line between Savannah
aud some European port.
The only effor being made to
bring settlers and labor to Geor-
gia is the work done by an asso-
citation of few railroads. Sam.
C. Dunlap, favored Mr.. Sargent's
idea about State Bureau and he
suggested that the work could be
carried on by the Commissioner
of Agriculture without creating
a new Office.
President F. B. Gordon of the
Georgia Industrial Association,
estimated that the idle looms in
the state due to labor shortage is
equal to twelve large mills shut
down all the time.

Typhoid Fever
Instructions from Health Com
missioner Dixon.

they leave the SICK room " idy
other fellow beings low with the
disease" Such are in the In
structions that Health Com mis-
sioner Sam uel G. Dixon of PEN
sylvania gives in his new circular
on typhoid fever addressed to
nurses and attendants in charge
of persons suffering from this
infectious malady."
II want to send that message
ringing thro the whole state, .
said Health Commissioner Dixon
the other day. II want to get
every local Board of Health to
see that in every home where
there is person i'll with typhoid
fever, the physician, the nurse
or attendant shall be impressed
with the duty of letting no infect
ion from their patient be the
cause of giving the disease to
another, and the way to do this
first of all is to kill the germs Of
the disease that comes from the
patient before these germs leave
the sick room.
If beginning today, the Nurse
or attendant in charge of a ty-
phoid fever case will see to it
that the discharges from the
patient are thoroughly disinfect-
ed before they are carried out of
the room in which the typhoid
victim is confined we can almost
wipe out typhoid in a year,
time. Irea1ize that this is big
eff" yet it is one of the simplest
ways in the world TO blot out a
disase that isappallingly epidem-
ic throughout the whole state, if
only each and every person to
whom this message is directed
will hear it and heed it,"
In his typhoid circular Health
Com missioner Dixon sets forth
simple methods of killing the ty'
phoid germs before they are
c arried out of the sick room.
Secure any of the following
disinfectants: Kerolin, Lysol,
Tri-Kresol, Chlorinated Lime
Chloride of lime or bleaching
POWDER, or a 40 per cent solu'
ton of Formaldehyde, which is
preferred.
Make up disinfectant solutions
from the above by adding three
teaspoonfuls of Kreolin, Lysol or
Tri-Kresol or eight teaspoonfuls
of the 40 per cent solution Of
Formaldehyde to a pint of water
or one-half pound of Chlorinated
Lime to one gallon of water.
Keep constantly in the bed
pan, urinal, chamber or commode
or vessel intended to receive the
discharges from the bowels o,
bladder moderate quantity Of
the disinfectant solution selected
and after receiving the discharg.
es add a quantity to equal the
amount of the discharges.
Cover and remove the vesse
and allow the contents to stand
for one hour before emptyine
the same.
Never empty the discharges
upon the surface of the ground
or in a stream, even though dis
infected.
If the discharges are emptie6
| into a water closet or privy they
must be thoroughly disinfected
first. They must never be buried
until after being thoroughly dis
infected, and then never less
than one foot deep nor withir
one hund red feet Of a we'll OF
