 This barn is far too expensive to be duplicated under average farm eondi- tions, and is designated to test the possibilities of high-grade milk pro- duction, and is not presented as a model for farm dairies.
 The milk house is separated from the stable by an ante-room thorough ly ventilated, through which the milk CTS pass in taking milk from the stable to the milk room. Through this ante-room they pass into straining room, where the milk is poured into a tank and runs through a strainer and small opening in the wall into the separator room adjoining.
 There is no direct connection be- tween this receiving room and the separator, so that the latter is not eX- posed to the dirt of the stable. A re- frigerator is attached. into which bot tied milk can be placed as soon as prepared and kept at low tempera- ture until delivered.
 A butter-making room is also pro vided, equipped with all modern ma chinery. but the principal object of the building is the preparation of pure, whole milk
 There are three points about this dairy that are worthy of note by prac- tical farmers: First, that the milk house be separate from the stable; second, that the milkers do not enter the separating room. and, third pro. vision should be made for cooling the milk immediately after it is strained and bottled.

WOODSMAN PANTHER'S FOOD.
Man Killed and Partly Eaten by Beast
 Escaped from Circus.

Rhinelander, Wis.-A panther which escaped from circus in this city a year ago has caused panic in north ern Wisconsin recently and evidence of the ravages of the beast was found in the partly devoured body of man in the woods near Brantwood
 There was nothing on his clothing to identify the man, but he is sup posed to be a woodsman from one of the lumber camps in this part of Wis consin. The body was partly devoured, 1t being evident that the panther had killed his victim while the man was going through the woods unarmed. There was evidence that the man had put up a hard battle, as his hands con tained bits of the panthers hide liter ally torn from the brute in the death grapple
 A child of homesteader, near Tripoli, is missing and 1t is feared that the little one also has fallen a victim to the panther.

POINTS TO REMEMBER.
The Cans for the Creamery Milk Must
 Be Clean.

The can must be sweet and clean in order to keep the milk sweet That same milk can must be emptied out as 1t comes from the factory at noon, so you can have it ready for the evening milk. Don't let 1t stand out by the road until you are ready to milk I have seen a good many places where the patron will empty the can and clean same out with cold water if they have no warm water handy. It is no wonder some patrons get the milk back the next day because the can had no chance to air out and was not fit to use for milk
 Empty your cans out as soon as you get them back; rinse them with cold water, then boiling hot water Use a brush to wash them; never take a rag and think that will do the work. It will not; a brush will find every hol- low place in the can and do the work better than anything else you can get Then after the can is washed, lay 1t down in place where the fresh air will blow and let it lie there for about three hours. Then you will have a can that is ready and fit to receive the milk.
 That is the most trouble in the sum. mer season. The cans are not prop. erly cared for. And that is the reason the creamery man always gets more or less sour milk, so be sure and take care of your milk cans.
 After the milk is placed In the can do not do like some farmers do-let it stay in the barn over night-for it will absorb all the stable air, and when the milk comes to the creamery and you take the cover off the can the creamery man thinks he is close to a COW stable instead of running a cream. ery.-P.

LIVED IN SOLITUDE
 FOR THIRTY YEARS
WILD MAN OF PAPAlkoUMANkA' CALLED CHINESE ROBINSON
 cRUsoE, FOUND DEAD.
Safe on Mountain, He Tumbied BOWL ders Upon Investigating Parties Laid Down in Coffin
 to Die.

San Francisco People who have not been to Hilo. the little seaport on the Island of Hawaii. may not think 1t matter of moment that the wild Cbinaman of the Papaikoumanka IS dead. Like many worthy folk. An Chow did not have his name printed much in the newspapers until after ne died, but that was the fault Of the papers and not of An Chow.
 They say down in Hilo that An Gho" came to the islands 30 years ago as 8 contract laborer on a sugar plant alton. He evidently did not like being a con tract laborer for he fled from the plan tation soon after his arrival and worked his way up to the almost inae- cessible mountain crag of Papaikon' manka to a little plateau hanging diz- zily over a cliffs edge. When some of the plantation men went to get him An Chow put up such fight by roll ing powders down on the only tfall to his retreat that the attempt to bring him back was given up.
 Eighteen years ago the report spread about the country whereabouts that the lonely Chinaman was leper and a posse was sent up the mountain to bring him back into town Tor transpor- tation to Molokai, the Hawaiian leper colony. An Chow fought the posse with powders until they gained foot hold in his narrow shelf of the noun tain. and then charged the timorous Kanakas with a spear fashioned of hard wood and with the point har- dened in the fire.
 He was captured finally and exam ined It was found that the wild Chi naman did not have leprosy and he was allowed to go back to his aerie on the mountain.
 From that day until the Chinaman 8 body was found month ago, lying in a rude coffin of his own making inside his hut, no man is known to have spoken with him and few had seen

Every door and window was locked securely and the desks untouched.

him. The tax assessor and tax collec- tor gave him a wide berth; the man who owned the land which he had pre- empted made no attempt to eject him, He never came down off the mountain and neither white man nor Kanaka cared to go up to see him.
 His body was stumbled on by a stranger who had gone up the noun tain without knowing that danger was popularly supposed to wait at the top for all intruders. When this stranger reported his find several men from the nearest plantation went up to the wild Chinaman's hut
 The body could not he removed, so a pile of wood was heaped about it and it was burned where it lay. with the hut which had for 30 years been the lonely hermitage of An Chow. The strange man must have known the ap- proach of death and deliberately laid himself down in his coffin 10 die alone
 The investigators looked about and discovered how Il was that the wild man had lived high up the mountain, alone with birds. By what must have been tremendous and long continued effort An Chow had cleared about two acres of the tropical jungles back of his hut on the mountain shelf and had there planted plineapples, peanuts, mangoes and potatoes.
 He had even set out a few orange and lemon trees, probably from cut tings stolen at nights from the planta. tion homes below him. The old man had kept no animals; all the bitter work of grubbing the jungle from his place he had done with his own hands.
 Besides the vegetables that had sustained old An Chow the hermit had not lacked for flesh, as bird snares and nets found in his hut and set about among the nearby trees showed He had even fashioned out of bamboo q sort of sampitan. or blowgun, such as is used by the natives of the Dutch East Indies, which will propel dart several hundred feet.
 Like another Robinson Crusoe, Ah Chow had lived on his dizzy shelf oi rock high above and even within sight of the civilization that spread out below him in plantation and village.

An Economical Food

That milk is a very economical food is demonstrated by the comparison of the food values of milk and beef. A quart of milk at eight cents is equiya. lent in food value to pound of beef at IS cents This means that four cents worth of milk furnishes as much food energy in the body as nine cents worth of beef.

A Warning.

Taft's sympathles are altogether
with the great and powerful, and, in
his estimation, the rights OF property
are paramount to the rights OF man.
He is natural born autocrat, and,
with hungry mob of place hunters
back of him, would set about creating
a strong centralized government which
would be stepping stone to the abro-
CATION of the most cherished rights of
the American people. In our estima-
ton, his government of the Philippine
Islands proves this beyond all dispute,
since it was one continuous assault
upon the rights of the people through
arrogant control of the judiciary, abol-
ishing trial by jury, appealing from
verdicts of mot guilty. increasing
punishment on appeal, denying Ameri-
can citizens the right to keep arms,
and the enactment of severe libel and
sedition laws. Let his record of des-
potism in these islands be a warning to
ahe American people to trust Taft in
no position where he can demolish the
structure of their government. Inter

Democratic Convention On.

Democratic Convention On.
The big quadrennial gathering of the
Democratic clans is about to open in
the immense new convention hall at
Denver as this summary closes. In
many respects the situation is similar
to that which the Republicans expert
enced on the eve of their national con-
vention at Chicago. Bryan appears to
be as much in control at Denver as was
Roosevelt at Chicago. Nearly all CORE
spondents on the scene say that Bry-
ans nomination is conceded, although
the conservative allies keep up show
of fight. Under the lead of Judge Par
ker of New York and other eastern
Democrats strong memorial resolu-
ton to Grover Cleveland, commencing
policies opposed by Bryan, raised the
direct issue of platform principle at the
outset, but Bryan's friends expect to
pass Cleveland resolution of their
own, and the platform is expected to
contain an injunction plank radical
enough to suit Gompers. Bryan is dis
posed to seek party harmony by offer
ing the second place on the ticket to an
eastern conservative, and Gray Of Della
ware was n favorite, but he issued a
statement saying that he had not con-
sented to stand for either the first OF
second place.

Zeppelin's Twelve Hour Flight.
Twice during the week has Count
Zeppelin demonstrated the power and
air navigating quality of his big air
ship in voyages over Lake Constance.
The second time he, with crew Of
fourteen men, sailed continuously for
Twelve hours at an average speed of
thirty-fouf miles an hour and passed
oyer most of northern Switzerland. At
all times the ship was under perfect
control, turning, rising, descending at
will and sailing either with or against
the wind. The distance covered was
225 miles, and the greatest altitude at
tanned was $500 feet. The next test
II the ship was to be fight OF twen-
;y-four hours.
In an address before the Society of
German Engineers at Dresden Count

efforts to solve the problem of air nayi-
CATION was his observation that the re-
sistance Of air to a moving body de-
creased In proportion to the surface go
