The following conversation actually

BICYCLE PUMP n SAVED "A COW
WITH MILK FEVER.

~ II
It has in recent years been proved
to a certainty that the method Of in
flating the udder of COW with milk
fever, with pure air, will almost in
variably save her life. The symptoms
of COW with milk fever are briefly
these: Constipation, weakness in the
legs, staggering gate, finally falling
down, head outstreached, dull eye,
heavy deep breathing. 1t attacks cows
in good flesh usually. It almost follows
easy calving and very soon after the
birth Of the calf 35 al Is
A correspondent in Hoard's Dairy
man writes: I'VE washed the udder
with soap and water, sterilized an or
binary silver milking tube and then
Npumped each quarter Of the udder as
full of air as it reasonably would
hold, tying each teat with bit OF soft
string. We then drew the cow into a
natural position, propping her up
with bundles of straw and gently rub
bed the udder. In 20 minutes the eyes
seemed clearer and the breathing was
easier. In two hours from the time the
remedy was applied the COW was on
her feet looking but little worse for
the attack"

WOMAN MAKES SEPARATOR PAY.
A Woman Sells Cottage Cheese Made
From Milk SKINNED With an Iowa.

~ -
What do you think of this plan for
making legitimate profit out Of milk.
She buys of pure sweet milk 200
pounds per day and separates it with
an Iowa and sells the cream to her
neighbors in the city. She then con-
verts the skim milk into Cottage
cheese and supplies it thus freshly
made to her patrons. In this way she
realizes $1.00 per hundred for the
skim milk. The cream she sells by
the quart and although she pays $1.80
per hundred for the fresh milk she
makes handsome profit with a very
little outlay Of labor.
This business could be carried on
more extensively If a woman would
do little figuring.

WHY MILK CANS LEAK
MIX Cans Affected by Pasteurized
Acid skim Milk and Butter
milk.

In one locality where buttermilk
and pasteurized skim milk are re-
turned to the farmers, complaints
are made that the milk cans soon
spring leaks and in less than year
the tin has partially or wholly dis
appeared Some of the cans are, at
the expiration of this time unfit to
send the milk in. One farmer attribut-
ed the frequency of leaky cans to the
pasteurized skim milk. He said / sup
pose we must comply with the Iowa
law, but wish we were not COM
PEELED to pasteurize II don't like the
cooked and watered skim milk. Sew
eral of my neighbors have complained
as do about the rapid depreciation
IN the value of their milk cans"
The explanation for frequency in
leaky cans is this: The hot skim milk
weakens the strength of the solder on
any part of the can Take strip Of
solder and tie 20 pound weight on
one end, fasten the other end rigidly.
Apply heat of 100 degrees Fair, and
the strip Of solder will elongate. APP
ply still higher heat and finally the
20 pounds pulls that piece Of solder
In two, pieces, Now with pasteurized
skim milk, the cans are hot for con-
siderable time on the road. The rough
roads and rough handling more cas-
lily separate the solder from the tin,
than rough roads and rough handling
would do providing the solder was as
cold as the delivered milk. The solder
being weaker at 100 degrees Fair.
than at 80 degrees Fahr., of course,
becomes detached sooner, some milk
leaks out in the wagon, a loss oc.
ours and repairs are necessary.
OF course, the frequent necessity Of
getting cans repaired In town is very
annoying. Part, also Of this trouble
originates from the acid buttermilk
being returned in the same cans In
which the fresh milk was delivered
Undoubtedly the leaky cans are more
often caused by the weakening Of the
solder by the hot skim milk It is moi
an uncommon thing to- find a milk
.hanler having one or more Ieaky cans
on his wagon. The same cans were all
right in the morning when they LEFT
/ the farms. Rags are sometimes uset
to "plug up" the leaks. This make:

|. One farmer had one of the. milk
cans soldered six times in one year
and paid 10 cents each time. Another
can was soldered times and he paid
IS cents each time.
The hand separator largely oby-
iates these expenses and the neces-
|sity of investing SO much money In
milk cans. Rough roads and acid hot
skim milk soon destroy milk cans.
You cannot save hot skim milk If the
can springs leak on the way home.

PUBLICITY ANO PUBLIC CHARITIES.

Rabbi Hirsch, member of the
board of charities for Illinois, says in
reply to the storm that has burst over
the disclosures Of outrageous condi-
tons in Illinois state institutions, that
the board of charities has known for
months that sickening conditions exist
in the institutions. But" he protests,
"our hands have been tied. We are not
permitted, under the law, to make
these things public, and for that rea-
son we have not spoken.
This is a peculiar state of affairs
if it exists. 1t would be interesting to
know more of a state law that pre-
vents the board having charge of state
institutions to protest publicly against
such conditions as have been disclosed
in the Illinois institutions. The revolt
ing story Of feeble minded children
roasted on hot radiators, of women at
the mercy Of lustful attendants, is one
to curdle the blood of savage. What
law could bind any man to keep a
close mouth while such things were
