TREATMENT FOR LEAKY TEATs.

A prominent veterinarian, in dis.
cussing leaky teats and treatment for
them, says that in the normal condi-
ton there is layer of muscular It's
sue-arranged in circular and longitu-
dinal bands, situated between the in
ner or mucous lining of the teat, and
the outer coat or skin. 1t is this lay
er of muscular tissue which contracts
and closes the duct which passes
through the teat from the udder, and
prevents flow of milk when the gland
is at rest This band of muscular
tissue is strongest at the base of the
teat at it's junction with the udder,
where it is most needed. In some re-
Taxed and f1abby udders this muscular
band has lost it's tone, and does not
contract with sufficient force when
the udder becomes filled, and the pres
sure is increased.
The treatment usually adopted is:
(a) to prevent too much pressure by
milking the COW three or. four times
within the "a hours, and (b) to apply
an artificial elastic band round the top
or base of the teat. This has to be
carefully and skilfully done to pre-
vent serious injury to the teat. If a
narrow elastic band is fixed tight
round the base of the teat, it inter-
feres with the circulation of the blood,
and causes the teat below the band to-
swell, while the band itself produces
acute irritation and an inf1amed hol-
low ring. In order to avoid this, it is
necessary to apply the band uniform
ly around the whole teat, so that it
fits like the finger of glove without
the tip, the pressure being merely
sufficient to keep the duct closed, and
prevent the bandage from falling off.
A broad elastic band, if cut the exact
length, and the ends sewn together
neatly, can be fitted on without much
trouble. The pressure requires to be
very light 1t is necessary to keep
two or more of these bands clean and
dry, so that a fresh one can be put on
after each milking, and see that the
teat is also kept clean. The most i'm
portant thing is to avoid too tight
pressure; very little is sufficient

to have a steady growth, that the far
mer, who is the source of supply, must
receive all that rightfully belongs to
him. A remedy for incorrect tests,
tried in other places with success, is
therefore submitted with the hope that
it will lead to intelligent action by
those interested.
Let the farmers call a mass meeting
and appoint committee to go before
the city council and submit their
proposition, which is, that the council
appoint an official milk tester who shall
have entire charge of the testing of all
the milk that is brought to the differ
ent factories, the salary of this official
to be paid by the condensers pro rata
according to their receipts of milk.
The man appointed to this responsible
position of course must be capable and
trustworthy, and one who would be
satisfactory to the farmers themselves.

the dairy industry in this section is
of interest not only to the farmer who
produces the milk, but to the business

have not been able to secure any
accurate data regarding the capacity
of square silo 12x12x20. We might
suppose that the ratio between the
capacity of round silo and a square
silo would be in proportion to their
respective areas, but this is not true,
as the material in round SilO will
settle better than that In square
silo, and | do not believe that there
would be a great deal of difference
between the capacity of silo twelve
feet square and that of round one
twelve feet in diameter A round silo
twelve feet in diameter and twenty
feet deep will hold thirty-eight tons
of corn silage and l presume that the
weight of oats and pea silage which
it would hold would be about the
same. Forty pounds of silage per day
is considered a full feed of silage for
dairy cow but if she were being fed
silage only once a day, she would
probably consume not more than
twenty or twenty-five pounds of sill

PEOPLE TO HOSPITALS
Panic in Fashionable Flats Was
Started by Explosion in, the
Basement-Building is Totally
Destroyed by Fire.
(By Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, May 20.-Twenty or more
persons were injured, some of them Sc
riously, by dropping from windows in a
fire, starting from a gas explosion,
which destroyed the Toledo flats, Sixty
fifth street and Minerva avenue, here
today.
The first explosion occurred in the
basement and was followed by others in
various parts of the building. Flames
burst forth in several quarters and
halls and stairways became cnOked with
flames and smoke.
Mrs. e. c. Updegraff, who occupied a
fiat on the second floor, rushed to a
window, holding her four-year-old child
in her arms. Her screams attracted a
crowd who cried to her to throw the
child and it would be caught.
CROWD CATCHES BODY.
Mrs. Updegraff, leaning far out of the
window, dropped her boy, who fell safe
ly into a dozen upstretched arms.
Mrs. Updegraff herself then climbed
out and, after hanging to the ledge,
dropped. She was seriously injured and
taken to a hospital.
Mrs. A. Elmore, a third floor tenant,
also was injured by jumping from sec
ond story window. Mrs. G. Ballard, said
to be deaf and dumb, was in her fiat on
the fourth floor when the fire broke out.
She was assisted to safety by other oc-
cupants of the building.
John Miller, janitor of the building, was
in the basement. He was severely burned
by the first explosion, and was taken TO
hospital. His condition is said to be
serious.
Mrs. Catherine Garmody escaped
through the hall and severely burned. She
and an elderly man, whose name could
not be learned and who jumped from a
second story window, were taken to hos
pitfalls.
WINDOWS BLOWN OUT.
The explosions WHICH followed that in
the basement, blew out nearly every win
dow in the building, and within half an
hour. the entire building was a mass of
flames. Firemen were unable to check the
fire and some of them narrowly escaped
when the south and north walls fell.
Ambulances were sent from different
police stations and in these the injured
were given their first medical attention.
In all, it is said that more than twenty
people were hurt.
Among those who escaped was a Mrs.
Hern. Mrs. Hern rushed into the street
carrying a parrot. Then she realized that
while saving the bird she had forgotten
her mother, SO years old. Mrs. Hern
rushed back into the building, but tainted
before she had gone far. Meanwhile her
mother had reached the lower floor and
both women were rescued by neigh
Dor.
The monetary loss is placed at $4,000.

SHIP IS WEDGED
SOLIDLY IN ICE
1t is Not Believed, However, That
the Passengers Are in Any Very
Serious Danger As Yet from the
Great Ice Fioes.


ST. JOHNS. y. F., May 2O.-The grip
of the ice on the steamers Monaghan and
Prospero. which were surrounded off the
entrance TO St. Johns harbor, remained
hard and fast at dawn toay and while
neither steamer was in any immediate
danger of being either crushed or pushed
ashore, and while the 500 passengers on
the Monaghan were in a position TO gain
the land within a few minutes, a strong
gale from the east was a danger to be
feared.
The limits OF the great ice field could
not be seen from the summit of the high
est hill on the coast, but extended to the
horizon. Off shore the bergs could be
seen grinding ard turning as the Labra-
dor current pushed them constantly to
the southwark.
NIGHT FULL OF ANXIETY.
The night on board the Mongolian was
an anxious one. despite that the officers
assured every one that the shore could
be reached easily, and that ample warn
ing would be given II the stout side of
the steamer showed signs of being unable
to Withstand the pressure OF the ice. The
passengers displayed admirable patience.
Fishermen and many other persons
from the city journeyed out over the
field during the early morning and many
messages were sent on shore.
To those who visited the Monaghan
many of the passengers recounted how
the ice pack bore down on the steamer
yesterday as she neared the coast, until
hemmed in on every side, further pro-
gress was completely stopped. Then came
the effort OF the little steamer Prospero
to break through the ice at the harbor's
entrance and open a lane for the larger
steamer.
RELIEF WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
Many of the passengers bound to Hail
fax and Philadelphia on the Monaghan
thought that the Prospero would at Least
reach them and perhaps enable them TO
land, and there was much disappointment
when the ice pack was seen to gather
steadily around the little steamer, I'M
til she was succumbed to its mighty
power.
The two steamers lay in practically the
same position throughout the night. There
was some movement of the big bergs as
the tide rose and fell and the weight OF
the great ocean current sweeping alons
shore from the north. extended in shore.
During the forenoon 1t was noticed that
tn eice was jamming up a bit on the
shore and the Monaghan had been forced
a triie to the southwark.
Many climbed Telegraph hill, the emf
hence overlooking the scene at the en-
trance to the harbor. but even at a height
| of several hundred feet there was no sign
OF clear water for at least Is miles of
shore.
PRosPERo GETS FREE.
The Prospero freed herself from the
ice jam this afternoon. A heavy under
tow in the narrows assisted the steam
ers.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon

point that in appearing in so public a
