FARMERSREBEL LATPURE MIIKRULE
Health Department Says Hair on Cows Tail
and Flank Must Be Cut and Lights Put in
Troughs--CIean Suits For Mixers.

AS general thing the farmers do
not believe that epidemic of disease
has been caused by the condition Of
the milk they have sent to the mar
ket, and they consider that the Health
Departments demands are beyond
reason. Already some are deter
mined not to send their milk to New
York City, and are arranging to send
it elsewhere or dispose of it locally.
Health Departments Requirements.
Some of the requirements of the
New York Department Of Health fol-
low:
That the floors be constructed Of
concrete or some non-absorbent mate
rial.
That the floors be made water tight
and properly graded.
That the drops or cutters be con-
structed Of concrete, stone, or some
non-absorbent material. That they
be ut least six inches in depth, with
all corners rounded
That the feeding troughs. plat:
forms and cribs be we'll lighted and
v ut clean at all times.
nat additional windows be in
s.led in the COW barn to provide
.lctent light. 1.-TWO square feet OF
window space for each COW te be the
minimum).
That the window panes be washed
and kept clean at all times.
That the walls aad lodges be thor
oughly swept down and kept free
from dust, dirt or cobwebs at all
times.

That the long hairs on the flanks
! and tail be clipped and kept short at
all times.
That clean, special suits be pro.
vided for all the attendants engaged
in the production and handling OF
milk.
That the milk at all times
strained at the milk house, and in a..
atmosphere free from dust or odors.
That the milk pals used be Of the
small-mouthed design, so constructed
that they can beNreadily and thor
oughly cleaned. and top opening no
to exceed eight inches in diameter.
That racks be provided in some
suitable place SO as to expose the mill
pals to the sun or to live steam.
That a milk house be built and 10

time.

TO BUILD UP PASTURES.

G. c. Watson OF the Pennsylvania
College Of Agriculture says: How to
increase the productiveness of run.
down pastures Is question that Is
confronting many farmers in the Mid
die and Eastern States. Wnen we con-
slider the cause of the Improbable
condition of these pastures we cease
to wonder that they are not remunera-
tive. Much lapd in the United States
has been cleared of timber that ought
never to have been c.eared-land that
is worth more to produce timber than
anything else. This land has been
wholly cleared of forests and either
seeded artifcialry or permitted to be-
come seeded naturally to such grasses
and other plants as would maintain
themselves under the existing condi-
tions. These grasses grew more or
less luxurlantly fer time, but finally
the. soil becomes SO exhausted that
they are now wholly unsatisfactory.
The question now is how to restore
the fertility of which the soil has been
robbed. 9she land must be made more
fertile through the application of plant
feed or the growth of .eguminous
crops, or beth. If the land Is not to
be plowed but to remain in grass un-
dcubtedly the owner should seed the
land with clovers and grasses early
in the spring. A mixture of white
clover. alsike and red clover would
undoubtedly be better than elmer
alone. With these may be mixed
timothy and June grass. 1t is prob
able that nature will seed the land
to June grass, but some assistance
will hSp to make a good turf sooner
than If left to nature. A thorough har.
rowing with a spike-tooth harrow be-
fore the seeding would be most bene-
fetal. Immediately after seeding ap-
ply a top dressing Of barn manure.
The manure thus applied will not only
furnish plant food for the grass that
Is already on the land and the young
seeding but it will form nulch to
protect the young plants and will ma
terially help them to become thorough
ly established. ii the land Is not
lined this may be applied as the top
dressing some time during the Fall
preceding the Spring seeding.

JEKYL1-HYDE IN REAL LIFE.

Dublin, Ind.-After witnessing
production of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde" some time ago, Albert Deayer,
Of Newcastle, attempted to initiate
the rawlings of Mr.. Hyde. He became
SO adept that his impersonation
amazed his friends. and in a few
weeks he began to experience the
same difficulty that DR., Jekyll did in
returning to his normal self. A few
days ago he seemed to lapse inyolun-
tarily into the character of Mr.. Hyde,
which now apparently has complete
contro, OF hiR. He was taken to the
insane hospital.

A former college athlete, one ofthe

COST OF DYING INCREASED.

Athol, Mass.-The cost Of dying as
well as of living is fast becoming pro-
hibitive In Athol. simultaneously
with the increase in the prios of milk,
meat and eggs, there has been an adj
vance of twenty-five per cent. in the
price of funeral carriages. Caskets
are higher, gravestones cost twice as
much as formerly, while the price Of
cemetery lots has passed beyond the
smeans Of many residents.
Some citizens are talking Of adopt
ing the method in vogue in Franco,
where the cost of funerals is regulat-
ed according to the family income.

Florida, N. Y.-Farmers in New
York State are receiving from the
New York Department Of Health let
tiers setting forth the requirements of
the department necessary to insure a
pure milk supply fer the New York
City market The requirements run
all the way from cleaning the window
panes of the cowpen to cutting the
cows hair.
One farmer who had received list
OF the departments requirements de-
clares that If some of the rules are
carried out there will be serious
shortage of milk in the market. as to
obey orders would mean a great ex-
pense and require SO much time at
tending to the animals that very little
profit would result to the owners. The
farmer said:
while the price of milk for the
coming six months by one big con-
trolling concern has been advanced
sixteen per cent. over last years
price, it must be taken into consider
alton that the price of the principal
feeds has gone mp twenty-five per
cent"
The same man pointed out that to
meet. the requirements more he'll
would be required and that all thi
would eat up the little profit that the
cow raiser now makes. In addition
it is hard to get competent help.
Too Early For Cleaning.
One requirement to which, Local
farmers make strenuous objection is
that requiring that the cowshed be
thoroughly cleaned before the COWS
are MIXED. AS the milking Is done
very early each morning, perhap:
long before daylight, 1t can be seer
that the cleaning process will be al
most an impossibility. The farmer
is not wealthy, and many of then
have not the cash to make the re
Quired Improvements about thetl
premises.
Where are our very small presen
profits to come in" said an owner O
several head after reading the de
partment circular; Where is thu
money to come from to put in non
absorbent floor and six-inch gutter
with rounded corners Of the non-ab
sorbent material? Are we required
to put in lights, so that the feedin.
troughs be lighted? am unable t
see where it insures pure milk t.
have the COW see what she is eating
or perhaps have the window clean s.
that she may gaze pensively over tn
barnyard while she chews her cue.
! Another requirement is that al
the help be provided with clean suit
when they go in > make the cow
comfortable or relieve them Of thei
milk. My wife would object to that
and farmers wives never have mucl
to do"
