The OUTLOOK.


 Hr RockefelIer's The gift of MT
 Gift to John D. Rocke-
 Education. feller of thirty two million dollars to the General Education Board brings his total ben elections along that line up to some where between eighty and one hun dred and ffty-eight million dollars in accepting the gift, said: .'This is the largest sum ever given by man in the history of the race for any social or philanthropic purpose. The money | is to be devoted ts Strengthening the small colleges in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, | Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and in | some of the newer states. Other sums will be raised for this. purpose by the colleges themselves to match the gift, so that the institutions will be placed upon secure endowment foundation. It is interesting to notice that our richest people are giving a great deal to education. It is estimated that Andrew Carnegie has given $15O, 900, 900 for libraries and universities. Leland , Stanford and his wife gave $50. .OOO, GOO to found and maintain the Leland Stanford, Jr., University. Marshall and keep up the Field Columbian mu- scum. John Hopkins gave his name to John Hopkins University and con- tributed s7,OOO, 900 to keep the name and institution alive. Eight million dollars is the sum that Stephen Girard gave to found Girard College in Phila- delphia and the property is now worth over S2O, ,OeO, GOO. Ezra Cornell gave to Cornell University land that was val ued at SC, ,0OO, 900 for it's work and maintenance. And this is only part of the list of donors. It has been es- timated that the country is spending s376, ,OOO, 900 a year on public schools In the state of Massachut5s they spent ln 19034 the sum of s5.42 per capita and in Georgia only 96 cents per cap :, ita. Education is great thing but i, costs money, and one cannot become learned without spending both time and money. But it pays in the higher type of civilization which it bring! e and in the better life that it intro e duces into the world. No one seem
 to be inclined to find much if any faul - with MT Rockefeller for this gift. I
 may be oil cast upon the waters, bu ', we hope that, like the bread upon tn,
 waters, it will return after many day
 and bring better manhood and woman 'o hood along in it's flame.

Milking Cows According to re-
 by ports from the U.
 rachinery. s. Bureau of An. imal Industry in Washington, over a thousand milking machines are In daily use in this country. It is great problem, this of the milking of the COWS, and the milking machine has taxed the inventors for long while From 1872 to 1905, 127 patents were taken out, in this country alone, for machines to relieve poor bessie of her milk without the use of hand power. Most of these patents have failed in some particular to prove themselves to be the ideal machine, but improve ments are being made all the time and the ideal milking machine is bound to be completed in the near future. All ready one machine has milked a COW in two minutes and quarter and this time limit is likely to be decreased, for several COWS will be milked at the same time by the same machine. Two different types of machines have con- siderable notice, one sort being run by foot power and so gauged that the op- crater can run them fast or slow, and one operator can look after five ma chimes at the same time and be milk ing ten COWS. Prof Stocking of the Connecticut Agricultural College is quoted as saying that with the use of in the milk, and of course, as everyone knows, the fewer the bacteria in the milk the better it will keep and the more valuable it will be for food.
