A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.
The problem OF. keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer. - = : ~
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taiht or hint OF staleness
left in can, tinEor ichurn may ruin
a whole output; that the faint which
is left. is in the Storm. OF bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has le&rned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which, is, If any,
thing. worse than the milk or cream
residue. and 1t Is little wonder that
there has been a constant claInor for

LIE. HOUSE and HOcIE r
Advice Abont Snk.

A silk buyer in a department store
has this advice to give in regard to
the making up of silk:
Large pins or needles make per-
manent holes in silk fabrics, and, If
extra large, break the threads; then
the silk tears easily. Putnew needles
in the sewing machine before work
ing on new silks. With old needles,
only slightly blunted, the silk is GER
tain to pucker and draw.
BE careful in pleating or rufIling
that the iron used is not too hot. An
overheated iron VIII crack any silk.
Always wear good shields, and avoid
If possible, much trailing of silk
gowns, as the fabric trays quickly"

THE REFUNDING OF THE COTTON
TAX

In an elaborate speech in the house

of South Carolina urged the passage
of his bill to provide for refunding
to lawful claimants the proceeds of
the cotton tax collected by the gov
eminent, illegally, as he claims, in
1S6S-6S.
The total amount of this tax, he
said, was more than siXty-eight mil
lion dollars, of which the eleven cot
ton states paid nearly sixty-five mil
lion dollars.
In cases where claims cannot be es-
tablished, the plan of Mr.. Aiken, as
stated by him, is that the amount shall
be turned over to the various state
treasures for use in the common
school fund of such state.

THE DOGS OF WAR


We know the dog as policeman in
Central Europe; as life-saver he has
worked in the Alps for a thousand
years. But the dog regularly enlisted
in every great army Of the world
whether in the Red Cross department,
or as scout and despatch bearers
surely something of a novelty.
In the Franco-Prussian war, out of
$4,000 casualties, $4,000 were return
ed as missing" and who shall say
what agonies those unfortunates stuff
cred? Every war of the future, how
ever, will see the dog mitigating its
horror.
The ambulance dog is entirely in
dependent of artificial light, and relies
only on his extraordinary power of
scent. Last year, during the great
Austrian maneuvers, two hundred men
were left lying on the field to repre-
sent the wounded; and the stretcher
bearers working against time, over
looked thirty-eight of these. Within
twenty minutes the Viennese dogs had
discovered them all.
Each dog carries about his neck a
flask containing brandy or soup and
also a roll of bandages. The wound
ed man, having made what use he can
of this relief, gives the dog his cap or
belt, and the intelligent creature at
once races OF with it to the ambu-
lance attendants, whom he conducts
TO the rescue with all speed.
Marvellous stories are told of the
dogs which the Allied troops took
with them to China for the suppress
ion Of the Boxer rebellion.
The French in Algeria have also
used dogs in this way in their warfare
with the Arabs. One canine favOrite
with the Oran garrison has just been
raised to the rank of sergeant" on &C
count of his sagacity, for he can be
used indifferently as scout, sentry. dis
patch bearer or seeker for the wOun-
ded on the battlefield. He is a Rus
sian borzoi Other dogs in use by
different armies are the shepherd dog
the Danish boarhound, the bloodhound
and crosses Of these breeds.
Ii is the German army authorities
who have adopted war dogs on the
largest scale. Other armies have fol-
lowed her example. 1t is realized
that hundreds, il not thousands, Of
men may owe their lives to canine
searchers, or at least the mitigation
of terrible suffering, such as the dread
full thirst resulting from the loss of
blood.
The Russian army in Manchuria en-
plOyed hundreds of specially trained
collies, and Captain Persidsky report
ed: I'm finding the missing and
wounded with which the millet fields
were strewn, nothing even approached
our pack of seven English dogs. In
our last engagement fifty-three men
were found more or less badly wound
ed in utterly unsupported places,
rwhere the stretcher bearers and sur
geOns would never have dreamed of
looking"
AS to Great Britain, every year her
war office authorities carry out ex-
haustive tests of war dogs. The dogs
are specially trained in FOrfarshire,
Scotland, by Major E. HOutOnville
Richardson, of Carnoustie.
The great difficulty lies in having
dogs and ready in sufficient numbers.
