carefully watching and weighing the
milk for a given time the inspector
reported on the individuals in each
herd The result was that poor cows
went to the meat market and the pro-
ducing value of the dairy cows in
creased in one year from $13 to $50
each. Such results came from a sys-
tenn of working everything for profit.
That is the spirit that controls in sue
cessful agriculture.
Bitter milk is one Of the most an
moving ills with which a dairyman can
be afflicted. Bitterness sometimes de-
velops in the best kept diaries, while
the most slovenly will be immune. It's
cause is an organism resembling the
ordinary yeast; in fact, 1t is an yeast
1t is originally found on the leaves of
trees, Just as the yeast organism is
found on hops, but is easily transmit
ted to milk COWS, or the stable dust
When once these yeast organisms gain
admittance to milk, they find condi-
tions favorable for their development
and proceed to reproduce themselves,
hence the bitter taste in milk, cream
and butter. To remove the source of
infection is no small task, for in all
the crevices of every can in which
milk has been kept there will be found
sufficient of the yeast to carry an in
lection. 1t is, therefore, necessary to
thoroughly scald and scrape the seams
of every vessel in which milk has been
kept, then carefully whitewash the milk
house. cellar or pantry, this should pre-
vent further development in the house.
At the same time sweep down the walls
and ceiling of the stables, and give all
the inside thorough coat of white
wash or spraying with some dis
infectant, such as bichloride of mercury,

Dr. Forbes Winslow has found in
studying statistics Of insanity that
locomotive engineers and firemen are
unusually apt to become mentally de
ranged. In list Of seventy-fOur trades
and professions that Of the engineers
stands seventh from the top in this
respect AS records of 10000 engineers
and firemen entered into these statis-
tics, they have a good basis Of relia-
bility. The three exceptionally destruct-
i've accidents to passenger trains in
England in the last year or two, those
Of Salisbury, Grantham and Shrews-
bury, have all been due to failures of
thoroughly reliable engineers to see
signals or to judge correctly their
speed and position at critical moments.
Naturally there is active discussion of
the strain which is being put on en-
gineers by their service, and Of the ex-
tent to which they weaken, If not to
the point Of insanity, at least to that
Of unreliability Of attention during
their work. The railway unions have
emphasized the heavy requirements Of
the roads upon the engineers in the
way Of making time, and the roads
have tried to place all the blame upon
the men. It is the conclusion Of Keigh-
ley Snowden, writing in one of the cur
rent British reviews, based upon con-
elusive reports as to the causes of all
three Of the accidents in question, that
the engineers of fast express trains
have literally more work than they
can hope to do thoroughly and unfail-
ingly. What between making time,
caring for the running of their compli-
Gated machine and watching out for
yond the limit. And his remedy is that
either a system Of automatic signals
must be adopted on all lines running
fast. trains, or else that the fast trains
must be given three men to run them
instead Of two; one Of those three hav-
ing the sole duty Of watching out for
the signals. The installation Of auto
matte signals is expensive and cannot
be done in a day. Where it Is most
needed by proof of experience the three
man substitute would be perhaps a rea-
sonable temporary expedient. Certainly
the fact that two men were enough to
run a wenty-mile-an-hour train a gen.
GRAFTON ago is no argument against the
need OF three men on mary trains to-
day.

woman who writes to the American
Magazine about race relations in the
South touches on this point to say that
the dangerous negroes are dangerous
to all women and girls, white or black;
that the negro children go to school in
groups, as the white children do; and
that the negro women, like white wom-
en-, in the South recognize that 1t is
not safe to 60 far from home unpro-
tected. This statement has probability
in it's favor, and for various reasons
sounds true. It was worth making ;
the more so that we do not remember
to have seen it in print before. We
have all along known and deplored the
peril to the white women and chill
dren, but no one before this has thought
it worth while to mention that the
negro women and girls were in any
danger. The reason why this ought to
be known is that a common danger is
a strong tie, and the blacks and whites
in the South are developing antag-
onisms so fast that no tie that remains
ought to be ignored. After the Atlanta
riot decent people, white and black, got
together to discuss preventive meas,
ures. That was the right way. Shot
gun methods will only increase their
perils.-Harper's Weekly.

Department also wants to take a pater

to give rural residents the parcels post.

IN THE WASTE-BASKET.


The recent death of Miss Julia Bry-
ant, the daughter Of William Cullen
Bryant, has called forth a number of
"reminiscences Of the poet and his fam
lily. Although always kindly, Bryant
was not man Of winning personality.
He was too dignif1ed.. But at home
he could unbend; with his children and
their intimate friends he could occa-
sionally even romp. With strange chill
dren the poet, perhaps being u little
shy Of them, became even more than
usually dignifed, with the result Of re-
ducing them to solemn and hopeless
good behavior.
Il always, In my infantile mind"
confessed a lady who knew him slight
~ in her childhood, connected him
vaguely with the Old Testament, and
revered him accordingly. Such a beard
and such brow were his as l knew
only in Biblical illustrations depicting
Methusaleh and jeremiah. 1t would
have shocked me, I am sure, to see
him laugh"
With another little girl, whom he
and used to perch her on his desk to
listen to her amusing chatter. When
he had had enough of it, and wished to
resume his writing, he would put her
in the big waste paper basket, carry it
outdoors, and merrily tip her out on the
grass.
His own girls were at that time
grown up, but it was a method Of clos
ing a conversation first practiced upon
them. Sometimes, too he used the
same receptacle to hold a daughter too
small to be overconversational, but
large enough to insistently demand
amusement. Dumped in among the
scraps, she would be happy for long
time grooming to herself and tearing
bits Of paper into smaller bits.
Not until the grooming stopped did
her father need to give her any further
attention, but silence was a signal not
to be disregarded, for -itNmeant that she
was, by no means fguratively, exercis-
ing her literary taste upon his latest
discarded poem. Her opinion it was
never possible to extract; but the poem
it was-more or less chewed-and it
was removed from her mouth as rap
idly as possible, and the little lady sup
piled with some other plaything less
tempting or more digestible.

Rails Arc EVener.

The fact that within the past twenty
years two-thirds Of the unevenness in
railroad tracks has been done away
with on certain lines was discussed at
recent meeting Of the American
Academy Of Sciences.
The improvement has been brought
about principally through new designs
and methods of manufacture Of rails.
A track Indicator" car, travelling
twenty or thirty miles an hour, sums
up the inequalities, the ups and
downs in the rails for each mile ira
versed Formerly the total inequali-
ty' per mile amounted to six or seven
feet, even for the best roads; now it
has been reduced to only eighteen or
twenty inches, and this remnant is said
to be due to dents in the rails.

tives and cars. longer trains and higher

protect country stores from the aggres-
sive city mail order houses? The fatal
flaw in Mr.. Won Meyers reasoning, as
quoted above, is the supposition that
the farmer needs to be pampered until
his conditions Of living are as artificial
as those Of the average city resident.
He is to have the trolley car at his
door, the telephone in his house, his
daily mail delivery, which will include
all his groceries and store supplies.
Neither the farmer, nor his wife, nor
his children are to feel the need of
going to town" One may we'll doubt
whether the average rural resident ap-
preciates or needs quite SO much atten-
ton on the governments part. The
country storekeeper needs as much pro-
lection as the farmer, perhaps more,
says the Chicago Journal. The farmer
should be encouraged to deal in the
nearest town or village. The parcels
post is an enemy to this rural COM
munity life. 1t will increase the artii-
cial markets in the cities and curtail
the natural home markets. The govern
ment's paternalism could find more le-
gitimate objects than the suppression

Mechanical traction has been substi-
tuted for horses on the Ladoga canal
in Russia. When the traction engines
appeared 1000 peasants seized them
and stopped all traffic so effectually
that troops had to be called out to re-
store order. There were riots Of this
sort in England a hundred years ago.
when power sawmills were introduced
there, but in the more advanced coun-
tries the laborer and the mechanic now
adjust themselves quickly to new in
ventions. Russia is about one hundred
years behind the times. When one
realizes this, one will understand many
things that happen there that are 9TH

Guilty, but Good Smoke.

The tendency to preserve relics of alb
sent ones sometimes results in odd COM
plications, If the experience Of a man
who visited West Philadelphia home
recently may be taken as an example,
He had been ushered into q small sit
ting room until the master Of the house,
should be at liberty to see him. He
took chair, and, noticing a corncob
pipe on shelf, picked it up, found it
about half filed with tobacco, lit it and
smoked.
When the tobacco was exhausted he
put the pipe back on the shelf and
waited for his host. The latter came
in, their business was soon finished,
and then the host explained that most
Of the articles in the room were pre-
served exactly as the son Of the house

to study, several years before. Here,
for instance, is his pipe" he said, still
half loaded, just as he laid it down
when he was last at home. It gives
his mother and myself great pleasure
to think that these things have not
been used or touched since he went
away, as II he were coming back to
finish his smoke. Sentiment, of course
but it consoles u.s."

legious conduct too deeply to mention
