| left Nashville, Tennessee,
March the 9th and stopped eff
one night at Bowling Green, Ky,
and had very pleasant evening
with friends and former school
mates. Early the next morning
| boarded the train for New York,
and the next "a hours were spent
on the road to the metropolis Of
the United States, spent the
afternoon and night Of the 9th in
Washington City. While there |
visited several places of interest,
among which were The Wash
ington Monument, National
Museum, Smithsonian Institute,
Capitol and Census Bureau. The
Washington Monument is a
marble structure, SO feet square
at the base with a gradual slope
to height of 500 feet. From the
point it has a rapid slope to a
point 80 feet higher, making from
base to summit a height of $50
feet. | took the elevator for the
top and there had a splendid view
Of the city.
AT the magnificent building of
the Smithsonian Institute saw the
burial place of John Smithson,
the founder of the Institution,
who died at Genoa, Italy, while
abroad for his health, and whose
body now occupies a vault in the
floor of the building of the organ
ization of which he was head
and founder.
The next morning, March 9th, |
boarded the early train for the
eastern ast Of our proud land,
passed through Baltimore, Md,
the city that suffered a loss OF
one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars by fire Feb. 7.8, 1904, but
which is being rapidly rebuilded,
also through Philadelphia, but
on ly stopped ten minutes, hence
saw but little of the "Quaker
City," At 2:30 p. hi. we reached
New York and had nice
ride five miles up the Hudson,
sailing almost through the shadow
of the millionaire Steveson's
mansion. AS | was to leave the
next morning, | had but little
time to do" the .great city, but
took the time to see the great
Brooklyn Bridge and few other
objects of greater interest. |
made arrangements for passage
to Gibraltar, made a few small
purchases and went to my hotel
for the night.
The next morning, March 10th,
went aboard the ship early and
had fine time with one of the
stewards, whose acquaintance |
soon formed, and who has since
proved my friend. The ship left
the docks promptly at II o'clock.
The farewells that were said and
waved with handkerchiefs, will
not soon be forgotten by the
writer, and since | had no friend
on the wharf to wave a fond adieu
/ took out my kerchief and wav-

friend, "Here's to Arkansas,
Tennessee and Kentucky, three
sister states, and "the girl left

A number of milking machines are
now in use in this country. A few
have been in use for several years.
So far as it has been able to ascertain
the milking is now practical sue
cess. According to New Zealand pa
pers it appears that in Australia and
New Zealand there are more milking
machines in use than in this coun-
try The Canadian Dairyman reports
that in the two countries mentioned
there are now over 700 of these milk
ing machines being operated, and that
they are giving general satisfaction.
Milking machines have also been used
in the large dairies of Great Britain
for several years. In some instances
they have been discarded, but in the
majority of cases they are still in use
and are rendering satisfactory service
In Denmark a great many machines
are also in USE We believe that the
milking machine now being perfected
in this country will come into gen.
eral use, especially in sections where
dairying is being carried on on large
scale. Last year Mr.. E. Clifton, of
the experiment station of New Zeal
and, tested one of the milking ma

Big corn stories are coming from

Farm Notes

A project is under discussion in
Germany for the holding of a worlds
fair in Berlin in 1912. There is a fair
prospect that provision will be made
for such an exposition.
Reclamation of Alkali Soils is the
title of bulletin "a issued by the Blu
reau of Soils, Washington, D. c., and
written by c. w. Dorsey This work
deals entirely with the arid west"
Cameron and Bell, of the Bureau of
Soils, Washington, d. c., have pre-
pared and issued bulletin 33 on "Cal-
cium Sulphate in Aqueous Solutions"
being a study of alkali soils as they
are found in the west.
1.-THE Swine Industry of Ontario" is
the subject of bulletin 149 issued by
the Ontario department of Agriculture
Popularity and usefulness of various

ties The bulletin is issued from To-

A freak ear of corn is reported from
She!byville, Ind 1t is composed of
about 200 small ears, each the size of
a lead pencil.
A dispatch from Flora, ILL.,, says that

proved unsatisfactory to the breeder
because the change in character OF
The animal is SO abrupt from the type
OF hog which the market has been
used to, that the demand would not
admit of feeding them successfully.
The change must be made gradually
rather than abruptly and must be done
either by crossing the bacon types
with the lard hog, or by careful feed
ing and selection.
It would therefore seem that the
medium hog is to be the hog of the
near future. Not the extreme lard
nor the extreme bacon hog but the
mean between the two. This will sat
isfy for the present both the consum-
er and the breeder or producer.

chimes in use in that country and re-
ported the following conclusions:
After the seasons work it affords
the greatest pleasure to give the ma
chine unqualified approval. Among
the points that most recommend them
selves are:
/. Reliability; no delays or break
downs; the machine operates with the
greatest regularity.
2. 1t eliminates the undesirable EN-
ployment of children
g. Economy in the number of milk
ers and in the genertl cost of labor.
4. Higher wages to responsible
men.
5. More comfort to the cow The
animal almost always Eliminates
while milking is proceeding Kicking,
restless cows remain more quiet when
being MIXED by machine than by
hand
g. Sore and chapped teats quickly
healed.
T. Average quantity of milk main
tanned
g. Milking effected incomparably
more clearly.
g. 1t will insure the safe investment
of capital in the further development
of dairying.
Not only is the milking machine
great labor saver, but it will also
prove to be one of the best means Of
improving the quality of our milk,
and butter and cheese supplies. Those
who have made use of these machines
in this country have noticed that milk
drawn with them produces practically
no sediment in the cream separator,
that it's flavor is improved and it's
keeping qualities enhanced
