Sunshine.

The value of sunshine as puri-
fer and a germ killer cannot be es-
timated. 1t is safe to say that hun
dreds Of thousands of lives are saved
each year through Gods pure sun
shine. The most harmful germs
cannot resist its killing powers.
Germs Of consumption will live for
years in dark place, but when the
suns rays are turned on them they
die in a few hours. All germs of
fever can exist but few hours in
the sun. How necessary then that
all our rooms be we'll summed. Bed

thing that can be moved should be
gotten where the direct rays of the
sun will fail on it. Get in the sun

us many ways of keeping well and

laws through ignorance or laziness.

Der of patents that were conducive
in the operation of his machine. Mr..
Lawrence and Mr.. Kennedy finally
agreed to combine the good points
of their machines and put out what
is known as the Lawrence-Kennedy
machine. While the improvements
of the resulting machine were be-
coming more successful it however
was not practicable for American
conditions. Sa
Nearly two years ago Mr.. ,Burrell,
of Little Falls, N. Y, wealthy
creamery machine manufacturer,
succeeded in making contract with
Lawrence and Kennedy to combine
the patent that he was holding, and
finally succeeded in making a
machine which was fairly success
full. These machines were then put
under practical conditions on.a few
large dairy farms. Mr. Burrell at
the same time placed one of them in
the dairy department of the Kansas
State Agricultural College. Exten-
sive work Immediately began, and
improvements were continually be-
ing made to make the machine as
practical and simple as possible.
Considerable credit is due the ex-
perimenters of this college, particu-
larly Shinge Suzuki and Toni
Miyowaki, representatives of the
Japanese government, who at that
time were employed in the dairy de-
partment, in finding the proper
manner of operating and manipulat-
ing the attachments of the machine
successfully. Shortly after the sue
cessful operation of the first milking
machine, which is now known as the
Burrell- Lawrence -Kennedymachine
the Globe machine was invented. It
was the combined patents ola num-
ber of inventors, but chiefly those of
Mr.. Kline. A number of,snlall ma
chimes have been invented recently,
but whether these will be practical

Milking Machines.

Prof. 0. Err. Of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, has the following
to say about milking machines in
the Farmers Tribune:
Dairying is now the second larg-
est branch of agriculture in the
United States. The dairy products
exceed the wheat crop by 27O
million dollars. They exceed in
money value Of live stock, such as
cattle, horses, sheep and swine, by
over 500 million dollars.
Owing to the great progress this
industry has made within the last
few years, it has brought about a
great demand for labor in these
particular lines. The labor prob
lem has greatly hampered the in
dustry, or even greater strides
would have been accomplished for
there is an endless number of arti-
cles that are made from dairy pro-
ducts which never allows an over
production. Furthermore, dairy
products are the cheapest products
according to the constituents they
contain. For instance a quart Of
milk is equal to pound of the
best steak or two pounds Of bread.
With these conditions before the
dairyman efforts were being made
for many years to invent an ap-
paratus that would dispose of the
most disagreeable part of the dairy
work, namely, milking.
Milking machines were invented
as far back as 1919, but no great
efforts were made until 1870, when
a number Of inventors began to take
out patents. From that time on un.
til the present l47 different patents
have been issued. Some good points
were embodied in nearly all Of them
but owing to the great number O
people who were holding patents il
was impossible to combine the sue
cessful points embodied in the pat
ents into one machine, and not unit
recently have number of patenteel
mutually agreed to buy or sells
part OF their patents on shares il
the profits Of their inventions.
Mr.. Lawrence, q Scottish inventor
was successful in buying q numbe:
of these patents. Mr.. Kennedy o
