ROry MIX.

Ropy milk IS caused by the ropy
milk bacteria which has got onto the
milk ducts of the teats. This is not
a serious proposition, and can be easi-
" remedied by washing the udders
OF the COWS and all dairy utensils
thoroughly with a ) per cent solution
of carbolic acid This will destroy the
bacteria. Cows that have access to
marshy pasture. or COWS that run in
wet pastures, especially in the spring
of the year when they are inclined TO
be muddy, and in muddy lanes or barn
yards. are apt to get this ropy milk
bacteria. Wash the dirt from the I'D
der of the cow and also rinse the dairy
utensils, pals, strainers and cans and
everything that the milk touches, with
a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid.
IF this is done at once l think there
will be no further trouble. The cows
udders and teats should be washed
with this solution two or three dars

Tr,,.sormed by Forests.

A most striking example OF the
Transforming effect of forests, not only
on the appearance, but on the produc'
tivity of q country, is afforded by the
Department of the Landes, in France.
At the close of the eighteenth century
about 100000 acres of that region
were little more than shifting sand
dunes and disease-breeding marshes.
At present the same lands are among
the richest, most productive and
healthful in France, and the change
has been brought about by Intelligent
cultivation of pine forests. Even the
character of the climate of the region
has been ameliorated, and it has be-
come mild and balmy. A thin layer
of clay beneath the sandy upper sur
face soil, formerly irnpervious to wa
ter. has been pierced by the pine
roots until a thorough drainage is es-
tablished to the spongy earth which
lies below.

After Hearing Testimony

| Reno. New. March Shortly after

closed the hearing for taking testi-
mony In the case of the Nevada Rail-
road commission against the Southern
Pacific company and the Nevada and

| The testimony offered by the plain
tins supported their contention that
the merchants OF Nevada were being
charged rates In excess of the rate
charged the so-called California termi-
nal cities. such rates to Nevada points
under the service rendered being dis
criminatory and unfair The testI-
mony further showed that on goods
delivered at Reno direct from the
Eastern point of origin, were charged
the same rate the shipments that
moved through 10 the coast and then
distributed from these points to the
interior. It was further shown that

mountain grades and then returning
them to Reno. In this sense, the plain

He was subjected to severe cross
examination as well as by searching
inquiries by the examiner. In regard
to cancellation of intermediate rates
to Reno he said the reason was that
the company could not make as much
profit out of that as by charging the
full back haul rate, and not being as
profitable they had been cancelled. He
also testified that the back haul
