Milk Inspection.

In speaking Of milk inspection, Chief
Department, said: "Its purpose Is to
protect the public against impure milk
Such may come from several sources
First, In the case of animals, we need
better inspection, for they may be
badly infected with tuberculosis and
still the disease would not be apparent
to the eye. Second. the handlers OF milk
need closer inspection, and when
such persons have a contagious disease
they should not be allowed to handle
the milk or any Of its products. Third,
there should be more sanitary inspec-
ton Of buildings and equipment
Fourth, the laboratory inspection Is i'm.
portant and should be placed In com
petent hands. 1t Is Of the utmost i'm.
portance that the inspection work be
done by experienced and educated men.
Politics should not adulterate the milk
and Is most detrimental to the accom-
plishing Of the most good. The police
authority alone is the least effective In
this work, for YOU can't make q man
clean with club; he must be educated
However, 1t is best that the inspector
be clothed with police power, for there
are in some communities those who
will heed nothing but pure force The
police power makes the work more eff
fective In all cases, but is not always
necessary. The larger per cent of the
milk sold In the smaller towns ane
cities is not, perhaps, entirely objection
able. but is not quite right"
Mr.. Webster would recommend that
all milk be pasteurized under Official
control until some better means could
be found. High class milk or certified
milk is more or less costly to produce,
and the price is much above what the
ma jority of people can afford to pay.
and pasteurized milk can be sold at a
reasonable price.

But-as to lions temple fed the Hebrew

Softly, through mullioned window-pa

Touched with an equal tenderness the

And breezes sweet with breath of June
through aisle and transept stole,
Cooling the fever of the brow, the passion

But bark. sound OF music low as
zephyr in the trees
Some hand, TO peaceful uses trained, has
pressed the organ-keys,
And higher now, and fuller swells the
clear, harmonious strain,
While dim eyes turn, and trembling lip:

One hears the Tilt of hooking birds amit

And one. the Northern robins call acros!

Once more, there falls on dulling ears b,

And failing tongue and breath grow

While friend and foe, as in the days tina

EARTHQUAKES IN AFRICA.

That Country Has Long Been I'm.
munc from Such visitations.
The fact that two earthquakes have
been reported in central Africa is worth
mentioning because, for all the white
race has known, Africa has long been
immune from earthquakes, excepting
along its northwestern and nOrth-cent-
raj borders, which have sometimes
shared the disturbances that have
afflicted the Spanish peninsula, says the
New York Sun. But since Mung0 Park

exploration nobody had ever heard OF

part of the continent.

river basins, tributary to the KongO
and on its southern and northern
shores. The vertical movement of the
houses and trees was plainly visible
and the natives were badly frightened
for such events were unknown to them
even in their traditions
On June Z a much larger region EN-
bracing nearly the whole administrative
district of the Welle, in the extreme
northeastern part Of the Kongo State
had sharp earth movement lasting
only about twenty seconds. The white
officials say, that the surface rolled il
little waves from the northeast t.
southwest; that furniture in widely
separated stations was thrown about
and that many thousands of negro huts
performed sort of dance that was
awesome to see. Not a single life was
lost in these occurrences, which. how
ever, have deprived tropical Africa OF

Rate of Alfalfa Seeding.


Alfalfa seed is sown Mt the rate of
fifteen to eighteen pounds per acre.
Some growers recommend q larger
amount than this, using as high as
twenty pounds of seed per acre, while
others claim that ten TO twelve pounds
per acre is sufficient, says an Oklahoma
report. 1t is certain that In cases
where the soil is placed In first class
condition and the seed purchased has a
high germinative power good results
can be obtained by using fifteen to six
teen pounds of seed per acre, but If
these conditions are not met then n
larger amount of seed will be required
The method of seeding varies In diff
ferent sections Of the state, but what
ever the method may be one should al
ways aim TO secure uniform distribu-
tion of the seed. Any up-to-date grass
seeder will accomplish this object, or
an ordinary shoe drill can BE- used adj
vantageously. Some drills ire built
with a grass seeder attachment from
which the seed can be scattered I'm
front of the drill ard the shoes or disc
in passing over the surface will give
sufficient covering. Placing the seed
at depth Of more than one inch il
not advisable. The amount of plant
food which is stored up for the young
embryo is limited, and when the seed
is placed in the soil with layer of
earth to the depth of one or two inches
above it the amount of food is INSULT
cient to carry the little plant above the
surface, hence large numbers perish.
