public parks and seek out its sequcs-

TEN.
The Idea of introducing the arc lights
at short spaces from each ether may
also be carried out with regard 10 all
other parks throughout Washington
and it's suburbs, according to Colonel
BromWeUs plans.
This new stretch of parking. for which
Congress at the last session apDro-
priated 10000, however. is still in an
embryo state. While plans for it are
being prepared by Colonel Bromwell. yet
no actual stage or development has
been attempted. The frequent rains has
served 20 retard the work somewhat.
Beginning of Great Plans.
II is confidently believed that when
completed in the fall, this new parking.
as laid out by Colonel Cromwell will
be one of the beauty spots of Washing
ton. 1t is but a beginning Of the great
plans talked of so Ions in Congress TO
provide more and better parks fer the
city
The new stretch of parking covers an
area forty feet wide and $500 feet long.
Its location and accessibility promises
TO make It one o. the scenic beauties Of
Washington. Colonel BrOmweu stated
last night that IL would be at least a
month before things began to take on
definite shape. However, the parking

OPERATION FOR BONEN.
THE cross shows where TO puncture for
relief.
Ve few diseases in which the animal
suffers such intense agony as in this.
He gets up and lies down; respiration
Is difficult from the distended stomach
pressing against the lungs; he evinces
his pain by striking his belly with his
feet; II no relief is given the brain
soon becomes affected, evidenced by
the animal becoming unconscious; the
breathing becomes more difficult, and
the poor animal falls, unable to rise.
The disease runs its course very quick
ly; hence the necessity of prompt and
decided measures.
Ohio Farmer, in which the foregoing
account of this trouble occurs, advises
treatment as follows: The first object
is to get rid of the accumulated gas,
and If the paunch is very much dis
tended and the danger of death imme-
date recourse should be had to pune
turing that organ. The puncture should
be made on the left side at the point
Indicated in the accompanying cut. The
usual directions for finding the proper
place are to measure hands breadth
from the last rib. More definite direc-
tons are TO locate point equidistant
from the hip bone the last rib and the
lateral processes of the backbone The
proper instrument for puncturing is
what is called a trocar, the cannula or
case of which should be left in the
wound for some time so that the gas
generated may escape as fast as form
ed. 1t is not often that the farmer pos
sesses an instrument of this kind or If
he does 1t may not be at hand the in
slant its use is required. In this case
common penknife may he used, which
should be plunged into the rumen and
an opening made large enough TO adj
NIT the finger. A small piece Of elder
wood will do well as substitute for n
cannula. In slighter cases when time
is not so much of an object medicine
may be given to relieve the animal.
and many patent preparations are in
use TO effect this object. Aromatic
spirits of ammonia, one-half to one
ounce doses, repeated every hour or of
tener, gives good results. Carbonate of
ammonia i'm four dram doses in hot
water, repeated every hour as long as
required, acts well.
Hoven admits of no delay or expert
mental treatment by medicines. Es-
cape of the confined gas is Immediate
ly necessary. dose of from one to
two pounds of EPSON salts or a quart
of raw linseed oil after puncturng is
beneficial.

COOLING MILK.
To Keep IL sweet From saturday
Night 20 Monday Morning.

Where milk is not taken TO the
TO keep II on the farm from Saturday
night to Monday morning in warm
weather so as 10 have Ii sweet when IL
finally reaches the factory Is a difficult
problem, but an important one, espe-
eially If the milk is intended for
cheesemaking. Apropos of this diff
Guilty the following instructions OF a
Canadian diary expert are reproduced
from the Ottawa Journal:
The only cooling agents to he had by
the farmer are Ice and cold water, and
every intelligent dairy farmer who
wants to send sweet milk on Monday
morning should have Il supply of Ice
and know how TO use II. The quickest
way TO cool milk is TO have il flow in
thin layers over cold surface. but this
is generally not practical to farmer.
Practical Method.
The method | advise TO patrons in
nv district Is as follows: A tank or
trough of some kind Is required 10 hold
cold water, and in this water the cans
containing the milk are placed. Each
pailful as IL Is drawn from the cow is
strained into these cans, which should
not be too large. BY the time all the
milking is done the milk will be fairly
cool, but the water will have become
warmed and will have TO be run of
and more cold water put on In Its
place. This should put the tempera-
ture down TO 55 degrees, but renew
the water as often as necessary. All
the work then required Is TO stir the
milk occasionally In order to insure
uniform temperature throughout. If
you have ice to put In the water you
can see how much better II will be and
how much labor II will save you.
After Cooling.
When the milk is cooled cover the
cans with clean, wet blanket one
end of which Is left In the water and,
acting as a wick, aids in maintaining
the cool tempera ture and also prevents
the cream from drying. If you have
well or a spring to set the cans In they
will answer the purpose well, but be
sure to stir the milk at intervals while
1t is cooling, so that the center will not
remain warm and the outer parts only
be cooled.
Again, let me say cool the milk just
as soon as possible after drawing 1t
from the cow to below % degrees, and
keep 1t there until 1t is time to send 1t
to the factory on Monday morning. Do
not add Sunday mornings milk to that
of Saturday night unless 1t has been
first cooled to as cold temperature as
that OF the nights milk.

The legislature of Iowa has passed a
law requiring all creamery operators 10
pasteurize skim milk at 1S5 degrees be
fore delivery to the patrons. The bill
went through both houses with sub
stantial majorities. 1t is understood
that the moving cause of the law was
the spread of tuberculosis among hogs
that are fed on the ordinary creamery
skim milk. If every farmer would do
as he should do and tuberculn test his
cows once each year we would soon
have none of this disease TO destroy
our cows and hogs. When the pinch
comes, maybe some of them will see it.

An affection which is variously
known as hoove blown, dew blown.
fog sickness, grass sickness, etc, is ia
piliar TO the farmers on grass farms.
The principal cause of hoven is fer
mentation OF the food and the conse-
Quent generation OF gas in the rumen
or paunch. The food most prone TO
undergo this fermentation Is rich, sue
culent grass or that believed with
moisture. All animals eat more or less
greedily on being first turned into the
pasture. and IL il he II fresh one. par
ticularly young clover. they rapidly
and with scarcely any mastication
gorge themselves. The passage of air
into the stomach with the rapid and
large gulps materially assists in the
process OF fermentation and adds TO
the accumulation Of gas This unnat-
urally overloaded condition of the
stomach soon induces suspension OF the
paristaltic action of the organ and, the
digestive process being checked, active
fermentation soon follows.
Decomposed or frosted vegetables,
particularly mangolds, will also give
rise TO hoven.
The symptoms are most distressing.
The paunch is blown up like a blad-
der and when struck with the hand
sounds like a drum. Probably there

suwar Production.

Messrs Willett and Gray the New
York sugar statistlcians, estimate that
the total sowings of sugar beets this
year approximate 399,562 acres. which
should give a probable yield of 800
600 tons of sugar. This means that
for the first time the beet sugar fac
tories outturn will exceed that of
Louisiana's sugar mills, for 1t is not
expected that the cane crop there will
quite reach the 100000 ton mark this
year. Yet the 1905 beet outturn was
not SO far behind the average Loui-
siana cane sugar production, for then
the result was 2S3.717 tons from 341.-

ENLlGHTEN THE CONSUMER
Let Him Know the Value of Milk as
n Food.


Food.
Milk is not a beverage, but an easily
digested perfect food. 1t requires no
cooking, contains no waste, is pala-
table, easily digested and is entitled to
be classed among the economical hui
man foods and ought to be more gen.
orally consumed.
One dollar spent for milk at cents
per quart furnishes IL pounds Of
protein. 1.3 pounds of fat, II pounds
of carbohydrates and 10000 calories Of
energy, while the same sum spent for
beef sirlon at % cents per pound
furnishes 6 pound protein, 6 pound
fat no carbohydrates and 400 Gallo
ries of energy, or the same amount
spent for eggs at SO cents per dozen
furnishes . pound protein. 4 pound
fat, no carbohydrates and 1900 Gallo
ries of energy, or the dollar spent for
oysters at 81 cents per quart gives us
3 pound of protein, L pound fat. -
pound of carbohydrates and go
calories of energy.
Thus we can show that many of the
standard foods are really Injuries in
price when compared with milk on the
scale of nourishment furnished FOR a
definite sum. Now think you not if
the consumer were made cogniZant Of
these and other favorable facts, if they
were thrust before his notice as are
the claimed virtues Of the so called
cereal foods, nostrums or worse. would
not consumption increase, naturally
making a better price?
Advertise the Facts.
Suppose you have folder printed
enumerating these and other virtues
milk possesses. with younr mime and
address and business on the margin
this could be printed by your local
dairy organization or individually and
judiciolisly but literally distributed
and then suppose you paint on your
barn the legend. Good Milk Is a Per-
