Avoid having the milk close to the
wall or in strong draft, SO as not
to have leathery coat form, due to
rapid evaporation. The pans are bet

The milk should stand from twenty

lated.

fashioned perforated skinner.
This system has many disadvantages
"a great surface Of the milk exposed
to atmospheric contamination; the
milk liable to become too acid for do
nestle and feeding purposes; the cream
clotted and overripe; the Dreaming in

the pans and much labor involved.

The cans usually are eighteen to

Deep Setting System.
Milk should always set twenty-four
hours before the skimmilk is drawn,
and thirty-six hours In winter Is bet
ter. Milk allowed to stand only twelve
hours before sklmming will yield a
larger volume of cream, but it will test
low (from Is to 20 per cent?. while the
skimmilk may test as high as from
g to ! per cent and over, especially
if the water has not been cold. In
twelve hours the smallest Of the fat
globules have not had time to rise to
the top and so pass Off In the skim
milk and become, like the prodigal
son of old, feeders of swine. When
the milk Is allowed to stand twenty
four hours the cream will test from 18
to 25 per cent and the sklmmilk from
2 to a per cent, or, In other words,
we have in the case of the longer set
ting richer cream and less loss Of
fat In the skimmilk, two desirable re-
suits in dreaming milk.
Butter made from cream from the
deep setting system is usually Of good
quality, rs the cream Is always at a
low temperature. which is unfnvn-qble
for the development of bad favc"s
The disadvantages are the heavy
lifting of the cans, the storing aud
handling Of Ice and the heating OF
the skimmilk for the young stock.
The only time water may be advan-
tageously added to milk is when the
cows have been long time in milk
and the milk Is vlscous and rich in
solids. Then small amount of hot
water will help. If the milk has a
strong food flavor, such as turnips
give, a pint Of boiling water put in the
shallow pan as the milk is strained in
helps to some extent to drive of the

GREATEST BREEDER OF CRIME
Alcohol Is Most Evident and Danger
Gus Cause of LawIessness, Says
Dusseldorf Expert.

What Is the greatest source OF
crime? Is it poverty and misery? Is
It unfavorable social conditions? Is II
hereditary affliction? Is It defective
education and training? These cues
lions were presented and discussed by
Doctor Pollitz, penal hospital super
intendent of Dusseldorf, in a lecture
on the psychology Of crime at a meet
ing of scientists in Tenbangen and af-
forwards published in q memoir. In
1t he says that the close relation exist
ing between alcoholism and all kinds
of crime has been much discussed
since the alcohol question has re-
ceived so much attention, and It is no
longer seriously denied. He declared
alcohol to be the most evident and
most dangerous cause of crime as well
as Of much misery and evil, and closes
by saying that the hopeful movement
against alcohol offers the best pros
pect for the prevention of crime-Hy.

FOE OF EFFICIENCY IN NAVY
Commander-in-Chief of British Allan
tic Fleet Declares Alcohol Is
Cetriment to Men.

The following clear and striking de-
claration by Sir J. R. Jellicoe, com
mander-in-chief of the British Atlantic
feet, shows how the most responsible
officers Of the navy regard alcohol as
the great foe of efficiency among men
of the service:
ANY officer holding command
which carries with it any measure Of
responsibility for the defence of the
empire must recognize, as | do, the
value of temperance in promoting
fighting efficiency. In the navy there
are three qualities upon which eff
cheney mainly depends. They are dis
cipline, straight shooting, and endur-
ance, and temperance unquestionably
tends greatly to the promotion of these
qualities. In regard to discipline, one
has only to look at the punishment re-
turns to realize how many Of the dis
culinary offences are due at the out
set to intemperance. AS for endurance,
fact that temperance Is a great as
set In improving physical qualities,
and, therefore, the endurance Of the
human race. But of our own personal
experience we know that we do not
drink alcohol just before a football
match or a boat race. If we do we
shall fail, and the same is true of any
other pursuit involving endurance AS
regards straight shooting, which is so
largely question of eye, it is every
ones experience that abstinence is
necessary for the highest efficiency.
IL one were going to a rifle meeting
In the afternoon, it wouldn't do to
drink whisky and soda at lunch. If
l should do that know | should have
no chance Of making a possible"
What applies to a rifle applies equally
to heavy gun, and all admirals rec
ognize this by taking care that the
fleet is called away from a harbor on
urgent business at least twentyfour
hours before battle practice or a gun
layers test is commenced.
Most captains also, if their ships
are to fire at these practices In the

coe, hold over the grog issue until

should like to refer to the experience
of Capt. Ogilvy, who, l regret to say.
died some eighteen months ago He
was the officer who did such good
service with naval guns at the relief Of
Ladysmith. Commencing under Sir
Percy Scott in the Terrible. he later
commanded the Grafton. a gunnery
school tender, and then the Revenge,
the Institutional battle practice ship,
and died when in command of the
Natal, which ship he placed at the top
OF the fleet in gunlayers' test. He
went carefully into statistics, and
found that the shooting efficiency Of
men was 30 per cent. better before
than after the grog issue. He put his
figures In the form of a curve, and It
behooves an admiral when chasing an
enemy's fleet and manoeuvering for
position to consider the grog curve as
we'll as the position of the sun and
direction OF the wind. These facts
will show, think, that naval officers
are fully alive to the advantage Of
temperance in promoting fighting eff
cheney"

"Sit Down With Abraham"

The Great Teacher declares that
while the natural heirs of the Mes
sianic promises would be cast out from
Divine favor, as they hare been cast
out for the past eighteen centuries-in
The meantime Genties from the East

found of similar character to the Cen
turion whose servant was healed. And
these would sit down with Abraham.
Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom. in
the sense that they enter into rest.
AS st. Paul declared I'VE who believe

rest or sitting at ease that Abraham.
Isaac and Jacob enjoyed. They had
Gods promise that eventually He
would raise up a spiritual Seed of
Abraham through whom all the fami-
lies of the earth would be blessed.
Abraham rested upon that promise;
so did Isaac; so did Jacob. And so we
rest in this Divine assurance that Il
blessing will come to the children OF
Adam in Gods due time; more than

Dius Mile of Ditch a Day.

The largest eXcavating machine
ever built Is capable of digging a mile
OF ditch six feet deep and u feet wide
every day. 1t is employed in the con-
struction Of canals and laterals CON-
prising an irrigation system to water
the 5000 acres which compose the
Cudahy ranch, situated in the Imperi-
al valley of Mexico. The conditions are
identical with those Of the valley OF
the Nile, for this ranch is of silt lands
built up by the ages of overflow OF
the Rio GTande. The machine weighs
100 900 pounds and covers an area OF
25x60 feet. 1t is entirely Of steel con-
struction and is propelled by two thir-
ty horse power oil engines. The fore
part OF the machine carries the en-
gines which drive a shaft wheel,
which in turn, by a series OF cogs and
chains, propels the machine over the
ground and at the same time operates
the immense circular digger carried at
the rear. This digger is equipped with
scoops bearing sharpened blades OF
steel. 1t first picks up the dirt and,
revolving upward, drops it's burden
on to conveyors which carry 1t to
both sides, depositing it upon the
banks of the excavation. The machine
is so nicely adjusted that it can dig
a ditch from two inches up to eight
feet in depth and from four to IL
feet wide, shaping and finishing the ex.
cavation as it proceeds. With this ma
chine seven men do the work Of so
scraper shovels hauled by 100 mules,
with driver for each team.
