IN MEMoRiAM.

Mrs. Tillie Ames departed this life
May 4, 1908. Gone but not forgotten.
Her two daughters, mother and sister.
In loving memory OF our dear faith
er Amos Marshall, who passed away
April %, 1905.
We do not forget him, we loved him
too dearly
For his memory to fade from our
lives like a dream.
The lips need not speak when the
heart mourns sincerely,
And our thoughts often rest where
they seldom are seen.
Eight years have now passed since he
left us in sorrow,
And sad was the shock we received
on that day.
But some day we will meet and enjoy
him forever,
In the home of our Saviour who
called him away.

Clean. Pure Milk

Bacteria enter milk during the
process of milking and at any time
while it is exposed to air. Hence,
the presence of large numbers of bac-
terra in milk suggests careless meth.
DDS and generally means thas dirt or
filth has in some way gotten into the
milk. Do not allow milk to stand un.
covered owing to the possibility Of
its being contaminated with dust, dirt
or foul odOrs, says the Dairy.
After milking each COW, remove the
milk Immediately from the stable.
Either cool the milk by using a
common cooler or pour into a can,
stopper it tightly and submerge II in
ice water. The least you can expose
milk to air the better. Cool milk
Immediately after drawing. Bacteria
grow slowly at a temperature of so
degrees and growth practically ceases
below As degrees. Milk produced amid
clean surroundings and stored at a
temperature of so degrees or below
will keep sweet for days.

ATTENTION TO FARM TEAMS
Horses Need Careful Feeding and
Care During Hot, SuItry Summer
's Days-GiVe Water Frequently.

The farm work horse requires care
ful feeding, care and general atten-
ton in hot, sultry weather. Use only
the light harness. Leather nets or
q gauno sack cut open thrown over
the back of the horse and allowed
TO come down over the legs will keep
on the flies. Steel collars are now
used by the large truck companies.
They are lighter, keep cleaner, last
longer and are a great comfort TO
the horse. Discard The check rein.
The most economical and the best
summer grain feed is two parts oats,
one part corn and a small quantity
OF wheat bran, with good mixed hay.
A horse at steady work should be
given Is or 16 pounds of oats daily;
but better than all oats is two-thirds
oats and one-third corn. Bran should
be given with an oat and timothy hay
ration. Equal parts of corn and sweet
wheat bran may be given instead of
oats and corn. By adding one pound
OF f1aXseed meal better and strong
er feed may be had at slight cost
one of a grain.
Give well-cured mixed hay. Musty
hay is liable to produce collie. Green
feed is too laxative. Feed small guam
titles and only afe it is we'll wilted.
Work horses should not be turned
to pasture at night after hard days
work. Grass alone will not keep up
their strength or condition. After a
days work is over put the team in
cool, clean, well-aired stable, giving
a thick bed of dry straw. When the
teams are brought in at night wash
the sweat and dirt from the shoulders
and legs and rub dry. Daily carding,
brushing and rubbing makes a horse
feel better, keeps him in better health
and renders him in every way a bet
ter and steadier worker.
Rest the team occasionally, water
frequently, giving small quantities at
a time. A horse should never be
watered or fed whsn overheated; let
him cool of first
In extremely hot weather like we
have had the last few weeks early
and late, rest both man and team
in the middle of the hottest portion
of day. A team well fed and hu.
namely used can be worked without
injury, even If the work is severe
and the weather hot.
We should take all reasonable care
Of the farm horse, aiming to keep him
In the best of health, strength ard
spirits for as long a period Of profit
able service as possible. Thoughuess
persons do not appreciate what an
active factor in farm industry the
horse actually is until deprived of his
services. A steady team can be de-
pended upon, that the farmer fully
knows, is worth the best of care, and
cannot easily be replaced even if the
farmer has money to burn"
