And so, by these happy accretions

Railways of Greece.

According to Consular Clerk Con.
stantine NJ Corafa, of Athens, the to-
tai mileage of steam railways in
Greece is 865, and their total capitali-
cation Is $42,215.209. The railways are
not owned by the government, but
are built after Its permission and CON
troll through the department of public
works, railroad section. The state
shares In part of the construction, and
hence controls the passenger and
freight rates and other details. The
government participates in the bene-
fits and has the option of buying over
the roads within specified period,
while at the lapse of another period
the railways become the property of

EXPOSURE or COWS.
Dairy Animals Need More Protection
Than Beef Animals.

Dairy COWS will not stand the ex-
posure that beef cows will stand.
This is one of the arguments put
forth by some of the advocates of
the use of beef cows for the produc-
tion of milk. We have to acknowl-
edge its force. If cows are to be left
to hustle around wintry strawstacks
perhaps it is better to keep beef cows
than any other. This can be said
for them, that the fat that is laid up
from high feeding is distributed
through their flesh and forms also
layer under. the skin, which serves as
a non-conductor of heat. This prevents
the escape of the heat from the body
and gives the cows certain amount
of protection when they are exposed.
The COW of dairy breed makes all
this fat up into milk and does not
have it to use as wadding under her
skin. The cold air strikes her skin
and she shivers. Therefore the dairy
COW must not be exposed to the cold
rains of fall and spring or to the cold
winds of winter. A Holstein, Guern-
sey, Jersey, or Ayrshire COW of pure
breeding must be given fair
amount of protection in winter,
though not SO much as was once
thought to be necessary.
Some years ago one of the prom.
inent dairymen living in northern IL
linois came out with theory which
he promulgated that the dairy COW
needed no protection in winter. He
had made an experiment and found
that when his COWS were allowed to
fight their way through snow drifts
and suffer other hardships they did
as we'll as at any other time. He
preached his theory quite vigorously,
but did not obtain many followers.
His experiments may have been made
with cows that belonged to the beef
breeds or that were grades having in
them large per cent. of beef blood.
If there is one thing that seems to
have been fairly well demonstrated by
large number of experiments, says
Farmers Review, it is that exposure
of cows belonging to the dairy breeds
lessons the milk supply and the fat
supply In Holland and some other
countries the cows are frequently
blanketed in cold days in spring and
fall and are warmly housed in winter.
Protection is given them against cold
and wet, and it is a generally accepted
tenet that exposure reduces profits.
In winter 1t may be that some Of the
protection given such cows is ex-
eessive, but we cannot afford to go
TAR in the opposite direction.

rHE FARM WATER.
II Should Be ttsiped in Some Way TO
All Buildings Where Needed.

All farm buildings should be sup
piled with water brought underground
in pipes from the source of water sup
ply. The barns as weG as the dwell
ings should be thus supplied. The
cost is small and the convenience
great. Many a farmer is carrying
water year after year not only for his
stock but for the use of the family
when the water should be always at
hand The chief reason for this is
the lifelong habit of the farmer, which
he does not see the advantage OF
changing.
Recently a case came to the atten-
ton of the writer that shows how
man will hang to an old condition
when he has no reason for doing SO.
A young man from one of the farms
went to college and got some new
| ideas He studied farm mechanics,
and got little taste for mechanical
engineering When he returned to
! the farm he saw many things that
might be done to increase the COM
fort of the family and make the work
easier.
One of the drawbacks of the farm
was the necessity for carrying water
some hundreds of feet to the house
and the barn, and this water had to be
carried in pals. Moreover, during
most of the year the boys mother
had tq, carry the water that was used
in the kitchen. The father was OPP
posed to any improvements and re-
fused to let the boy exercise his abil-
ity in making improvements.
On the hill little way from the
house was a perpetual spring suffi-
GENTLY high above the house so that
if pipe were laid the water would
of itself flow into the kitchen. The
temptation for the boy to utilize this
supply was SO great that he could not
resist it. So the first time he went
to town he laid in supply of pipe
and the materials for making joints
and connections, with taps and fau-
GETS Then he began his work clan
destinely. When his father would be
away for half day or SO the young
man would dig a trench, lay what pipe
he could and cover it up again before
his father got home. He continued
this till he had laid the pipe from the
spring to the house, had made all at
tachments and had the water running
into the sink, where his mother could
use it at will and without effort.
At this stage he was no longer able
to keep the secret from the head Of
the house. AS it had gone so far the
father accepted the fact as accom-
plished. but he refused permission tt
the boy to carry the pipe just little
further to the barns. 1t is a strange
thing that people will become so "set
in their ways" as not to avail them
selves of natural laws, which were
created to serve them.
