BIG QUEENSLAND TURTLE.
It's Captors Used 1t for Riding on the
Sand and on the Sea.

Sand and OF the Sea.
A party of men were reclining in
their tent by the sea near B~undaberg,
where they were surprised to see a
large turtle poke It's head in the en-
trance.
After they had recovered from tbs
surprise they set to work t capture
the turtle and it took the united efforts
OF TWO OF them to turn the turtle over
on its back, which they did with the
aid or a rope and a couple OF .pars.
A rope was attached and it was kent
prisoner till boxing day, when the cap
tors amused themselves riding on il
up and down the sand.
After the novelty had worn off one
OF the members of the party mounted
the turtles back and set its head for
the sea- letting the rope go. The tur-
tie' appreciated its release, carried it's
jockey out to sea, and the latter slid
on and let the turtle return to the
deep.

BUDGET NOT APPROVED.
Cuban Senate Fails to Concur With
House on Financial Bill.

Havana, July 1.-The senate and
house adjourned last evening after the
final day Of the regular session of
congress. No action was taken on the
aIi-important question of the approval
of the budget.
In default of an agreement at an
extraordinary session of the senate,
which was called before midnight, the
only recourse open to the president
will be to declare operative the bud
get of 1909.
President Gomez will reconvene
congress on Saturday to propose that
the amendment to the budget be
dropped, so that the budget may re-
ceive the presidents signature.

the combination would be found to be

Guernsey milk is known to be very
high in butter fat. The milk has a
natural rich color, very pleasing to
the eye. the taste, too. is all that can
be desired, but there is one objection
the globules of butter fat, unusually
large, are not easily digested. When
mixed with Shorthorns or Holsteins
or Ayreshires, the milk of the Guern-
seys is just neutraIized enough to
make a perfect and healthful drink.
Sanitation in Stable.
Fully as important as the breed and
physical condition of the COW is the
question Of the stable, and all those
pupils who profit by the enterprise Of
the state in supplying instructors will
especially have impressed on them
the importance of having sanitary
homes for the producers of one of the
most vital of human food products.
The ideal stable should be built on

keeps the cows hide free from loose
hairs and foreign matter.
In fact, the hide of the COW is even
kept clipped toward the side Of the
mixer so as to be absolutely certain
that nothing can fall into the milk.
Twice a day the COW Is also sponged,
especial attention being given to the
udder.
The fair miIkmaid will be taught
that her hands can never be kept too
clean while taking the milk from it's
COW giver. She must wash them in
warm water before beginning, and re-
peat the operation after emptying
each bucket of milk.
These are some Of the high spots
in the remarkable program by which
an effort is being made to educate the
farmer as to his vital duty to safe.
guard his milk supply.
OF course, a large part of the result
will depend on the amount OF moral
suasion that can be brought to bear,
for many of the suggestions made are
expensive and can hardly be put into
execution without a loss by those who
depend on the popular priced market
for the returns.
But n of the points adopted is
sure to result in a gain.
Ten thousand dollars yearly to be
invested by the state in guarding the
milk supply ought to yield it's profits
in an improved public health.

regular intervals run a stream OF
pure we'll water, till each COW has had
enough, and then it is shut off.
The food ought to be weighed out
to each cow, and not n ounce more
given than the attendant decides is
needful, for a COW needs only to be
fat and ]contented looking, and this
is not likely to be the case if over
feeding is permitted.
Care in Feeding.
The right kind of material for food
will also be explained in detail by
this itinerant course of lectures on
COW knowledge. Grains, corn sileage,
clover and alfalfa hay are the stuffs
that insure a good flavor to the milk.
The proper portions will be explained
in detail.
Sometimes it may become neCes-
sary to decrease a cows allowance Of
one of the ingredients a few ounces
to reduce the production of butter fat
or to add something to increase the
supply of milk.
In such manner as this virtually
everything connected with the COW
and its production Of milk can be
regulated along the lines which the
instructors will lay down.
e. OF course, the cow has to be allowed
a certain amount of exercise in the
open fields, perhaps on average Of
three or four hours a day, but here
again the instructor will be to the
fore again with good advice, for he
will tell the dairymaid how TO be sure
there is no deleteriOus substance
growing there, such as garlic.
Only one COW needs to eat garlic to
affect the entire milking, and they
so partial to it, that only eternal
vigilance can prevent the indulgence.
In the ideal dairy shavings will be
used as bedding. They do not fill the
air with ~germ-Iaden dust. For the
same reason all hay before being fed
to the COW is wet Gown with a hose,
thus preventing the dissemination of
the hay bacilIi, which in dry hay fills
the atmosphere and is either inhaled
by the COW or flies directly into the
the milk.
Grains are kept in a compartment
separate from the barn, thus prevent
ing the dangers Of their flavors from
getting into the milk, and all ~crevices
which might become lurking places
for dust, thus aiding in the infection
of the herd from a tuberculosis COW
are eliminated.
