HtSE I'm Drcucbct Cattle.

Doctor David Roberts, state Nctcri-
MARIAN of Wisconsin. gives this advice ::
Perhaps the best way of demonstrating
the danger of dren"bing cattle is to adj
wise the reader To throw back his head
rs far as possible ana attempt to swal-
low. This You Will find to be a diff
cult task, and You will find it more
difficult and almost impossible to Swal-
low with the mouth open. 1t is for
this reason that drenching cattle is Il
dangerous. practice. However, if COWS
head be raised as high as possible and
her mouth kept open by the drenching
hottie or horn, Il portion OF the liquid
is very apt to pass down the windppe
into the lungs. sometimes causing in
times causing death to follow in 4 few
days from congestion or inflammation
OF the lungs. Give all cattle their
medicine hypodermically or IN feed. if
they refuse feed give it dry on the
tongue. The proper method Of giving a
cow medicine is To stand on the right
side Of the COW, placing the left arm
around the nose and at the same time
opening her mouth. aud with a spoon III
tie right hand place the medicine,
which should be I'm powdered form,
back on the tongue; She can then swal-
low with safety.

Nutriment in MIX.

Bulletin No 81 from the Storrs Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, Con
necticut, is a most excellent one on the
origin or sources of those small or
ganisms called bacteria, which are
found so abundantly In milk. The
bulletin also contains some rather
startling statements ana some whole
some suggestions.
Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit up and
think are the following:
"A quart of milk at Sc Is equivalent
in food value to a pound of beef ut 1Sc
This means that 4c worth of milk gives
as much food energy in the body as &c
worth of beef.
The average Individual consumes
three or four times as much meat in Il
day as the body actually needs for re.
pair and for its high">t physical CON
dition.
"If the American people would eat
ouc-half less meat aud consume one
half more milk. they would save about
Sl50,oOo,000, in money ana in health
enough to make the doctors bills look

Dairy Idols.

Cows becomes favorites with their
owners not altogether by reason of the
milk they produce. We have known
cows that their owners thought great
deal of because of the kindly DISPOSE
ton of the animals. One cow that the
writer remembers gave but few
quarts of milk day, but she was pet
of the family. She would prefer the
company of members of the family
rather than that of other cows If the
cows were being taken TO pasture she
would insist on walking by the side of
the one in charge of the herd, 1t IS
hard TO order q COW of this kind sent to
the butcher. and many people will not
do it. Instead. the animals are kept
for a dozen years. and not only allowed
to eat up the pr0vcnder without re
turning a compensation for it, but are
allowed to add to the herd more COWS
after their own ability not 70 produce
milk. These may fairly be called dairy
idols. Their owners claim great things
for them without being able to substan-
tiate the truth of what they say.
But the family pet is not the only
brand Of dairy idol. There are the gen
eral purpose COWS that quite generally
have the entire confidence of their own
ers as to their great value, They are
idols that the singlc-purpoSe COW men
have demolished again and again, to
their own satisfaction, but they are still
to be found all over the land.
The dairy idol is thing that can be
dispensed with to the advantage OF
the owners of the cows. The warfare
against them will be kept up, and little
by little the factors we are warning
against will disappear. 1t may, how
ever, take about as long to eliminate
them rs it took Christianity to drive the
idols ont Of the pagan world.-Farmers

RESCUED FROM SHARKS.
Narrow Escape of Filipino Sailors from
a Wrecked Vessel

Capt. Carlos Krebbs, commander of
the steamship Dalupaon. reports that
last Sunday afternoon about ) o'clock,
while en- route from Tudela to lligan, the
ship sighted four Filipinos clinging to a
submerged banca surrounded by school
of sharks, which. even after the vessel
had come alongside, persisted in lowering
about the banca. The four men upon be-
ing picked up related a terrible tale Of
suffering and agony. They stated that
they had left Basac, Negros, bound for
Earili, Cebu, and that on Saturday they
ran into heavy weather which caused
the banca to fill, sinking to the water :
edge and washing away their food and
drink
Shortly after that the weather cleared,
leaving these poor mariners under the
glare of tropical sun. Then the sharks
appeared, and to the agony of thirst and
the pangs of hunger was added the ter
rifle fate of becoming morsel for Il
sharks tooth.
They had despaired of relief and every
vestige of hope was gone when they
sighted the Dalupaon.-Cebu Courier.
