James j. Jeffries, retired heavy
weight champion Of the world, anC
now before the public eye as a pos
sible candidate for fight with Jack
Johnson. made his first appearance in
the public ring Sunday in four years,
and while Jeff is not the same big boy
we saw when he was slowing away
Fitzsimmons, Sharkey and the rest, he
worked in such fashion that he gives
promise Of being capable to get back
In grand shape.
JeGrles does not display the wealth

as the shoulder that compelled respect

beehive appearance again If the cham
pion takes up his bag punching and
his filtration with the heavy sand
sack.
In any case Jeffries now looks more
like the John l.. Sullivan of 1886 than
the Jeffrles OF half dozen years ago.
He has lost the strong man lines that
were heritage of his boiler-making
days. He is flat muscled and rotund

athlete looks when he has fallen upon
easy years and Is approaching middle
age.

At these low temperatures they are
simply inactive, not dead. At tenn
perature of los degrees F. the active
germs become inactive, and large
proportion of them are killed at
temperature of from 1876 to 140 de-
grees F. In milk Tactic acid fermen-
tation means simply souring and 1t
renders the milk unfit for use almost
wholly because it's taste is unpleasant
to the ordinary palate. A large amount
of Tactic acid is perhaps injurious to
the young and delicate or weak diges-
tive organs, but ordinarily it is harm
less. Tactic acid lamentations are
extremely important in the processes
of both butter and cheese manufac-
ture."
These facts explain why it is SO i'm
portant to observe cleanliness in the
production of milk. Of the several
chief means for preventing milk from
souring, the average dairyman can
make use of only two: First, to keep
as much dust and dirt out of the milk
as possible while it is being drawn;
and second, to cool the milk down to
a point where the Tactic acid germs
will remain inactive.
AS was mentioned, the Tactic acid
germ is made use of in the manufac-
ture of butter and cheese. The devel
opment of Tactic acid in cream for
churning serves to cut the thin film
about the small globules of butter fat

inches wide, and they will hold all the
manure without overlooking and at
the same time will be easy to clean
out. A coating of whitewash at least
once a year helps to keep the barn
light and sweet.
A barn so constructed will have
many advantages; it will be source
of pride to the owner and of comfort
to his COWS; it will be more easily
kept clean; it will not be full of the
foul odors which are so readily alb
sorbed by milk.
Manure should be removed daily
to distance of at least so feet from
the barn. Where it is possible, it
saves much labor to carry the manure
on a spreader, wagon or sled to the
fields daily. Too often manure is piled
high up against the side of the barn,
where it remains to breed flies, dis
seminate odors, rot the boards, and
leach away in the rains. The last
two points alone, are enough to ap-
peal to the financial side of any far
mer's nature.
Two points which are vitality i'm
portant and which are often neglect
ed are tuberculin testing the herd and
cleanliness of milking. 1t certainly
pays any man to have his herd tested,
for by killing one. or two diseased
animals, he may check the disease and
avert the loss of many valuable AMI
mails. Mixers should have clean milk

HOW TO KEEP MILK

At a meeting held in Boston in the
interest of pure milk, under the aus
pices of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, the Woman's Municipal League
of Boston, the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College, and the State Dairy
Bureau, the following nine good rules
for the care of milk were given by
P. NJ HARDWOOD:
1. Take in milk and cream as soon
as possible after being left at your
door and place in refrigerator.
2. Keep milk and cream cold until
ready for use The bottom of the re-
frigerator is colder than the ice con-
tainer.
8. If ice cannot be had, wrap the
bottle in wet cloth and stand it in a
dish of water by an open window, out
of the sun; evaporation of the water
will cool the milk.
4. Keep milk or cream covered un-
til wanted, and in the bottle in which
it is delivered; in open bowls or pit
cheers they will absorb odors from food
and collect flies and dust.
5. Pour from the bottle only what
milk or cream is needed for immedi-
ate use.
6. Milk or cream that has become
warm should never be poured back
into the bottle of cold milk.
7. Utensils used for milk should be
cleansed with cold water and then
with boiling water, thoroughly drained
and allowed to become cold before
being filled with milk.
s. Wash and return all milk or
cream bottles daily.
9. Have separate quart of milk for
the baby; what he does not use others
may have.

WHY MILK SOURS

1t is, of course, far more important
that the man who handles milk should
know what measures to adopt in order
to prevent it from souring than to
know why it sours. There is this fact
to be needed, nevertheless, that the
person who does his work thoughtfully
can nearly always do better when he
knows the reason for doing. Why
milk sours is concisely explained by
Prof Wing as follows:
milk sours because of the action
of Tactic acid germs. These germs
are the most common and most nu-
merous germs found in milk, and ordi-
narily the Tactic lamentations are the
first to take place. They begin their
operations almost Immediately after
the milk is drawn and continue until
the maximum amount of Tactic acid
has been produced. In the Tactic acid
lamentations milk sugar breaks up
into Tactic acid. The presence of the lac
tic acid serves to coagulate the casein
so that the curdling of milk is always
an accompaniment of the Tactic fer
mentation after it has reached a GER
tain stage. When a certain amount
of Tactic acid has been formed, the
further development of Tactic acid
ceases.
Tactic acid germs are most active
at temperatures ranging between 80
and 100 degrees f. At temperatures
below 80 degrees they gradually lose
their activity, and below so degrees
little or no Tactic acid will be formed.

products, and give profitable employ
ment the entire year to hired help. If
whole milk is sold to village or city
trade, fruit growing and dairying are
the best combinations, the manure be-
ing used for growing the orchard and
land for growing forage crops. Where
cream or butter only is sold, dairying
and pig or poultry raising are good
combination, the skim milk and but
termilk being fed to the pigs or chick
ems. Pigs, poultry, fruit and dairy
may all be profitably combined under

ing suits,-overalls and jumpers will
do, if they are kept absolutely clean.
Milking should be done with clean,
dry hands, and the COWS should be
first cleaned by having their udders
and teats wiped with a damp cloth.
When the milk is drawn, remove 1t
from the barn at once, and cool it as
quickly as possible in clean, airy
place.
The Department wants to keep in
touch with dairymen all over the
state, and is glad to reply to any in
uuiries concerning the dairy business.

Dairying makes good combination
with many other farm operations. An
exchange sums it up this way: Dairy
ing may be profitably combined with
poultry keeping, with fruit raising, or
with pig growing. With any of these
combinations, one is able to have two
substantial incomes, utilize the waste

so that when agitated they will join
together. Tactic acid prevents the
development of germs which would
have an undesirable action on the but
ter, and also imparts a much esteemed
flavor to butter, likewise cheese.-The

A MONKEY WITH A MIND.

In the current number of The Psy-
Geological Clinic DR.. Lightner Wit
mer, Professor of Psychology at the
University, reports the results of
tests made on chimpanzee at the
Psychological Laboratory of the Uni
versity. Prof. Wilmer believes that
the anthropoid apes have an intelli-
gence far beyond that which they
have hitherto been supposed to pos
sess. He has obtained from Borneo
orangoutang under two years of
age which he and DR.. VIM. H. Bur-
ness, who brought the orangoutang
from Borneo, are training as a psy-
Geological experiment. His interest
in the study of the mental intelli-
gence of the apes led him to investi-
gate Peter, chimpanzee who is be-
ing exhibited this winter on the Keith
circuit of theatres.
Peter was put through many of the
tests which DR.. Wilmer uses for the
study of backward children. He per-
formed many of these tests in a
very satisfactory manner. He was
able to string beads the first time he
tried it. He put pegs in the ordinary
kindergarten pegging board. He
opened and closed very difficult
lock. He uses hammer and screw
driver and distinguishes without any
mistakes between nails and screws.
A peculiar kind of hammer was CIV
en- to him in order to fool him, but
Peter was not fooled. He felt both
ends of the hammer and used the
fiat end instead of the round end.
Showing his initiative and general
intelligence, Peter got away during
the tests from those who were watch
ing him and darted for a washstand,
quickly turned the faucet and put
his mouth to the spigot and got a
drink before he was snatched away
by his trainers. Peter understands
language and follows verbal instruc-
tions without signs. He is able to
say "mama" and DR.. Wilmer taught
him in five minutes time to make the
sound of "p." The most remarkable
performance was making the letter
"W" on the blackboard, in which he
initiated DR.. Winners movements
exactly and reproduced fair
copy of the letter. The conclu-
sions drawn from the tests are that
the ape could be trained to show

even greater intelligence than he
possesses at the present time. Peter
is the most intelligent animai to be
reported in the annals of science.
He goes long way to Justify the
reports of those persons whom
Roosevelt and others cali mature
fakers," because they ascribe high
er intelligence to the lower animals
than biologists and psychologists
thought they possessed. His intelli-
gence bridges the gap which was sup
posed to exist between the minds of
the lower animals and the mind of
man. Prof. winners study is con-
tribution of great value to animal
psychology and il his results are ac-
cepted, it must change our current
notions as to the limitations of the
animal intelligence.
In the same number of the Clinic
DR.. o. P. German, Associate Supt. Of
Public Schools, reports the educa~
tional results in school progress of
children in large and small classes
containing under 40 pupils, medium
sized classes containing from 40 to
40 pupils, and large classes contain
ing so or over. DR.. Germans con-
clusions are that classes of medium
size make the best showing and the
large classes do not fall much below
small or medium sized classes. In
the grammar grades the larger the
class the better is the promotion rec
ord. The results were obtained from
the examination of the records of
800 classes. In good behavior also,
the larger classes had as high rat
ing as the small casses and q higher
rating than classes of mediu size.
