WHY MILK is DIRTY.

In an experiment at the Illinois eS-
pertinent station, some figures were .
obtained as to the amount of dirt
falling from udders apparently clean,
soiled and muddy. A dish Of the
same diameter as an ordinary milk
pail was held under an udder for
four and a half minutes, while the
mixer went through motions sim
liar to those made in milking, but
not drawing any milk. The dirt thus
collected was thoroughly dried and
weighed, At an average of seventy
five trials made at different seasons
OF the year 1t was found that the
weight in grams of dirt which fell
from udders apparently clean was
O.O152, from udders slightly soied
O.l316, and from muddy udders
O.SS31. From these data it was cal
culated that from muddy udders one
ounce of dirt would fall into the milk
In thirty-two milkings, or that every
275 pounds of milk would contain
one ounce of filth. After each of the
above tests the udder was washed
and the dirt collected as before 1t
was found that with udders apparent
ly clean three and a half times as
much dirt fell from the unwashed
udder as from the same udders after
they were washed. With soiled I'D
ders the ratio was eighteen, and with
muddy udders 1t reached ninety.

DANBURY FAIR RACES.
An Extensive List of Entries for the
 Harness Horse Events.

The entries for the trotting and pacing races at the Danbury Fair, Oct. 5, and ', have broken all rec ords in number and quality There will be three races each day, and as it will be strictly a meeting of win ners each of the races will be hotly contested. Several of the leading stables ship home after the Danbury Fair and all fear of giving the horses a low marking is cast aside and the racers are driven to the limit of their speed.
 It has been the custom for years for the winners other tracks to assemble at the Danbury Fair and decide the tfrubbers.' As there has been a see-saw all along the line this season, first one stable being success full and then another, several old scores will be settled at this Fair.
 The program in brief is as fol-
 Wednesday, Oct. 5-2:27 trot. four teen entries; 2:17 pace, eleven en- tries; 2:22 pace, sixteen entries.
 Thursday Oct. 6-2:12 pace, ten entries; 2:19 trot, twelve entries; 2:25 pace, sixteen entries.
 entries; 2:19 pace, ten entries; 2:17 trot, ten entries.
 The purses amount to $5,000, and in addition to the above harness horse races, there will be running races Oct. 6 and z, and automobile races Oct. 4 and 8.

Kind Treatment.

Kind treatment OF dairy cows can
not well be oyerestlmated. The COW
which is greeted with a kind word
and a gentle stroke OF the hand is
sure to give more milk and better
milk. Rough treatment stirs up
anger and resentment In the COW
and causes her to hold up her milk
The little milk obtained is not prop
erly secreted and is of an unwhole-
some II not decidedly deletrious
character
The man or woman who works
with COWS should always be mild
hammered and of gentle disposition,
An outburst OF temper is never more
out OF place than In the milking
stalls. 1t is positively dangerous to
feed an infant with milk from COW
that was dubbed by her owner when
the milk was drawn. A man who is
not kind to his COWS should not
have the patronage Of the public.
The Big Sandy news. [volume] (Louisa, Ky.) 1885-1929, 1910-03-25
Feed and Comfort.

The dairy COW must be well fed
and properly sheltered II she does
her best work. She must have
enough food for the support OF her
body and then a sufficient extra
supply from which to secrete milk,
In winter sufficient starch foods to
produce body heat must also be sup,
piled. The COW that can go fresh
onto the bluegrass pasture in the
spring is IN her prime. II would be
hard to provide better milk produc-
ing food than plenty OF bluegrass.
1t is well balanced and succulent
two essential qualities
The dairy COW should have a
warm stall in winter and cool one
in summer. The object is TO Keep
her even tempered and comfortable
at all times. Provision against an
noyance from flies should. so far as
possible, always be made. clean
stall and antifly spray help wonder.

Weak Polnts.

Every business has its weak
points and so has dalrying. One OF
them we have spoken Of frequently
and the papers are still discussing IL
| refer to the poor COW or the one
that is kept at loss instead OF a
profit. Some dairymen have sever
al such.
Why is II necessary to continue
talking about Improbable cows'
Because some farmers, or dairymen
never seem to learn to have any
mind or good judgment about them
Why they will not weed out these
non-producers is mystery. It ought
to be plain to everybody that keep
ing cows that don't pay expenses
has no good sense In IT, Then quit
1t and keep only good COWS,
Another weak point is in letting
cows run down in their milk after
coming fresh. You know how hard
It is to get them back up again. Il
1t can be done at all. II is often
caused by dry weather, which cut
off the pasture, that In turn reduc
ing the flow OF milk.
To eounteract this trouble on'
should soil the COWS or feed som,
green crop. Usually this dry spell
comes In the fall. when corn Is vel
on the road to maturity and makes
good green feed for dairy cows i
very we'll takes the place OF grass
in keeping up the milk flow.

At PA|NTSV|LLE
HO|cOnb Held a GEEat Union
Revival.
Detailed Account Ofthe Meeting, ;as
Given by a Pastor Who Took
an Active Pant.

The aftermath of great revival
is generally true index as to the
character Of the meeting. Some
times the after" of a big union
meeting leaves an unpleasant taste.
! have waited a week or so after
the close of the greatest meeting of
any sort ever held here to see what
few days would show as to the
results of the effort-the permanent
cy and general character Of the work
done.
A union revival which was plan
ned in the fall by the resident pas
tors of Paintsyille was begun Sun
day, February IS. Rev. Walt Hol-
comb and his singer, Prof. ]. M.
Ragsdale, had been secured to con-
duct the meeting, and the new
Southern Methodist Church selected
as the place. For two weeks pre-
liminary meetings had been held in
the United Baptist and M. E.
Churches. During these preliminary
services the churches had been put
in a good shape for the work of
the union meeting.
At the first service on Sunday,
Feb. 18th, the big auditorium of the
Southern Methodist Church was fill
ed. A chorus of sixty voices was
turned over to Prof Ragsdale and
the meeting given over to Mr.. Hol-
comb. From the very first service
there was the deepest interest, and
from the first time Mr.. Holcomb
extended invitation to the close OF
the meeting there were penitents
and conversions. The services were
held at ten o'clock in the forenoon
and at night with prayer meetings
at different parts of the town in the
afternoons. An unusual feature Of
this meeting was the morning con.
gregations. The people said we
could not get folks out to a mid
week service in the forenoon, but
from the very first these services
were well attended, and after the
first few days of the meeting, the
auditorium, and sometimes the lee
ture room as well, was filled, while
at night the seating capacity of the
church which is 1000 was taxed anC
chairs had to be brought from tn,
outside to accommodate the larg,
audiences.
The entire town was reached
Men who had not gone to churcl
for years came. The business sec
ton was almost deserted during tn
services. The merchants closed thei
places of business and the Hol
Spirit seemed to be touching every
body in town.
The meeting lasted twelve day
and interest was at white heat a
the close. There were as many a
fifty and sixty converted at one tim

After House Fly.

A concerted, country wide attack
is to be made on the house fly this
year, according to Chief Entomolo-
gist Howard, who testified before a
House committee.
When spring begins hundreds of
scientists, aided by laborers, drugs
and chemicals and mechanical kill
ers," will try to drive the household
pest out of existence. DR.. Howard
says the campaign will be opened in
the country districts and the de-
partment will issue farmers bulle-
tin, giving advice as to the ills the
flies are responsible for and how to
eradicate them.
