Is the milking machine safe to use?
A New Jersey dairyman who used one
of the patent milking devices states
that under his own personal operation,
the machines actually increased the
milk flow, but that when the duty was
laid on an oyerworked superintendent,
some of the cows were injured. Ii

Re III ect

Previous TO the meeting Of the reeu.
lar sesaion there had been an extra
session. This held on till the regular
session began. There was no inter-
val between the two, SO far as tie
time was concerned the one ran into
the other. Hence no member went
home from the extra session and came
back to the regular session.
There was absolutely no recess at
all--not single minute between the
one session and the other"
The imaginary recess having been
created by ....Constructon... the mem
bers of the lower house took an mag
mary trip home during the imaginary
recess, and then proposed that they be
paid their imaginary expenses, not In
imaginary money, but hard cash.
Therefore sixty-odd Republicans
forty-odd Democrats, and two Union
Labor men voted to give themselves
$4,000 Of the peoples money to pay
tor imaginary Journeys made during an
imaginary recess.
1t is doubtful if more shameful at

MoRTALITY DUE TO NEGLECT.
F'eavy Losses of Live Stock That
Misht Easily Be Prevented.

From authoritative reports by gov
eminent officials it appears that some
1857, 021 cattle die in the United
States annually from disease and ex-
posure-most of them from neglect.
From the same source 1t is also ascer-
tanned that the loss of sheep from the
same causes is as great These fig
ures only serve to show what a waste
full people we are. One of the excuses
the beef trust makes for high prices
OF provisions Is the enormous death
rate of live stock on the range and on
the farm, most of it due to pure
tr1fingness of the herdsmen and the
grazier. Indeed, the losses by neglect
and exposure greatly exceed the losses
by disease
1t would he impossible to estimate
the waste of farm products after they
mature in the field; but it is enor-
nous, some of it due to scarcity of
labor, but most of 1t traceable to thrift
less husbandry, or, in plain speech,
downright laziness. One source of
waste is imperfect cultivation, for mil
lions of farmers persist In half cult
walton OF large areas when they would
make more by proper tillage of fewer
acres. Then there is immense waste
In the disregard of intelligent rotation
OF crops. This Is the worst sort of
waste, for it means devastation of
soils that requires years of provident
tillage to replace. All over the east
are abandoned farms that would to-
day be gardens If they had been given
