MAGNITUDE OF

The clean-milk problem is vital one,

ton of 9,0O0,000,000 gallons in the
United States per year, being an an
nual supply of over 100 gallons for
every man, woman and child in the
country. This amount affords IL
quarts a day for every individual,
which includes the milk used in ma
king butter and cheese. The actual
amount of whole milk consumed each
day averages about IS of a pint for
every individual. The value of this
product for a year at retail is the
startling sum of $2,500,000,000. This
is about one-fftieth of the entire
wealth of the nation, five times the
wholesale value of last years wheat
crop, nearly twice the value of the
corn crop, and. over one-third of the
entire value of farm products for 1907,
which is estimated at $7,400, 900, 900.

THE, HANDLING OF
DRAFT MARES
BY 0. E. WEIGH.

My method Of handling draft mares
and their colts is as follows: First, I
feed the mares a ration Of oats. bran,
and some corn or timothy hay, and
work them moderately right up to the
time Of f0aling. When the time for
them 10 f0al comes | stay with them
nights, and | think the best way, if
possible, is to have two double stalls
adjoining, and have them we'll cleaned
and disinfeCted by spraying with creO-
lin | also scatter lime over the floor
and Whitewash the rest. I keep the
mare tied in one stall until after she
has the colt, and as soon as the colt
is born / disinfect the navel and cut it
about two inches long and tie it. If
possible | never let the navel touch
the floor until disinfected. For that
] use creolin in water for a wash and
then use boracic acid and prepared
chalk three Or four times a day until
the navel is dried up. AS soon as pos
sible after foaling | take the colt into
another stall. which is we'll bedded
and dry, and when [ see the mare is
strong enough to get up all right, |
put her in with the colt loose.

WASH THE,
cows UDDER

To determine definitely the amount
of filth that gets into milk during the
process of milking, and how much THIS
can be lassened by washing the I'D
ders, the following comparison was
made: 1t was determined after several
trials with three different mixers, that
it requires an average OF four and
one-half minutes to milk a COW.
A glazed dish IL inches in diameter,
the size of an ordinary milk pail, was
placed in the top of pail and held I'M
der a cows udder in the same posi-
ton as when milking. For four and
one-half minutes the mixer went
through motions similar to those made
in milking, but without drawing any
milk The amount Of dirt and dust
which felf into the dish during the
operation was, of course, about the
same as would have fallen into the
milk during the milking process. The
dirt caught in the dish was then
brushed into a small glass weighing
tube. the udder washed, and the
process continued.

only tarred paper would not take the
strip during this cold spell; and every
night | changed hot syrup for cold

touched. Following this cold spell
came a period of warm weather., and
/ took the occasion to examine the
bees and see how they withstood the
cold weather, The Al newspaper
packed colonies had, in the eight
frame colonies, eight frames of broods
or six frames of solid brood, and were
boiling over with bees; and of the
Ferris, or 12-frame colonies, there
were II frames of brood or ten frames
Of solid brood, and they were hanging
out at the time of examination with
the temperature at rs degrees in the
shade. Of the Is colonies packed only
with tarred paper, eight were dead
starved. Two absconded, and went
into other hives, and three were stick
ing out their stings and shaking their
wings at me when | took off their

fairly good colonies for wintering by

1t might be of interest for me to say
that the Al colonies that were rearing
brood during this cold spell averaged
100 pounds per colony in last years
poor season.
In commenting on Mr.. Alwin's meth
DDS, the editor Of Bee Culture says:
The use of two pieces Of tarred paper
in place of one will facilitate very ma
terially the packing and unpacking
but we would suppose that, at the line
where the top piece overlaps the bot
tom one, wind and water would beat
in and if the hive is tipped little
siGeWise the water would run down
between the packing. Perhaps you
Overcame this in some way.
ct is little surprise to us that you
secured as good results after feeding
in such cold weather, even though the
strip was given them hot. 1t would
have been our opinion that this hot
sirup would have so stirred up the col
ony that bad results would have fol
lowed At all events, we would say
that beginners should be cautioned;
for unless hives are we'll packed, and
colonies very strong, such feeding
would be a very doubtful proceeding.
In a general way we observe that,
where your hives were packed with
newspapers under tarred paper, you
hot only secured excellent results in
winter, but increased materially the
amount Of honey. We see no reason
why hives well papered under caps
should not winter their colonies just
as we'll as those having a wooden cap
over them 1t was demonstrated last
winter in our own yard, and reports
went to prove it, that a mere paper
cap without packing under it is hardly
sufficient protection for OutdOOr-win-
tered colonies in localities where the
temperature goes down to ten or 20
above zero, occasionally lowering
around the zero point. There should
be several folds Of newspaper, old car
poting, blankets. Or something under
the cap to provide the necessary in
sulation, for cold atmosphere will
penetrate a seven-eighths-inch board.
IT, however. such boards be covered
with several folds of newspaper, with

SHOWER BATH AS TONIC.
Beneficial for Those Physically Able
TO Take Them.

Not everyone is strong enough to
stand a shower BATH but when taken
properly il has a tonic effect.
The best test whether it is beneficial
or harmful is whether one is in glow
afterwards or feels creepy for several
hours.
The shock is not good for anyone
with a weak heart and no one who is
not we'll should use a shower except
by the advice Of a physician.
AS a rule, the best time for a cold
shower is on rising in the morning;
the system is strongest then.
Do not stay under the shower too
long, minute is quite long enough,
unless one has exceptional strength.
1t is VOL to prepare for the cold
shower by dashing cold water on you
first or by taking tepid shower and
gradually getting it colder.
Never take a cold shower when chill
y. The cold feeling is a sign that
your physical condition is not up to
the mark.
Follow a shower by hard rubbing
and ~ a few physical exercises. Some
women go back to bed for five minutes
after the bath before dressing. The

Split Ends of Hair.

1t is essential for the proper growth
of the hair that the split ends should
be clipped off with the scissors. The
easiest way to do this is to separate
the hair into strands, going to work
at it Systematically, beginning at the
front on one side and taking one
strand after another around to the
front of the other side. Twist each
strand tightly and the hairs of diff
ferent length will stand out so that
they may be easily clipped. This is
better than singing the hair by
means of lighted tapers passed quick
ly along the strand so that the hairs
which stand out will be burned off.
Unless this is done by one who is an
expert the other hairs will become
burned and the hair will become un,
