NEW BONDING SCHEME. 81

MILKING MACHINES IN FAVOR
Becoming Recognized Part Of Equip
ment Of Large Dairles--Room for
Much improvement.

The milking machine is becoming a
recognized part of the equipment Of
large diaries. 1t has already reached
the point where 1t compares favornbly
with ordinary hand milking in the
item Of germ content of the milk and
in its effect upon the flow. There is
still room for much improvement from
the mechanical standpoint, especially
in the matter Of simplicity and ex-
pense Of installation.
The success Of the milking machine,
like any other machine, is closely as
ISOLATED with the personality of the
operator. Unquestionably 1t takes a
higher grade man to operate a milk
ing machine successfully than to hand
milk a COW equally well. There is
every reason to think that in the
hands of careless operators the ma
chinery will work injury to the cows,
but the same result is too often OBJ
tanned from inefficient hand milking.

Peets combined-ThIngs Some

Weather conditions, parasites, fungi,
insect disease and mechanically ap-
piled poisons (most of which are both
dangerous and expensiye) together
are insufficient to check the multiple
cation Of insects without the assist
ance Of insectiverous birds. Edward
H. Forbush records seeing pair of
grosbeaks visit their nest $50 times in
eleven hours, carrying to their young
two or more larvae at time. Spar
rows, chickadees, vireos, martins and
warblers made from forty to sixty
trips an hour to their nests with all
kinds Of insects for their young. One
Of the reports Of the biological survey
records the finding Of sixty grasshop-
pers in the crop Of one nighthawk and
500 mosquitoes in another; thirty
eight cutworms in the crop of black
bird and seventy canker worms in the
crop OF cedar bird. Professor Tschu-
di estimates that song sparrow de-
yours 1000 larvae a day, and Profess
sor Forbush says that a single yellow
throated warbler will consume 10000
tree lice day. A scarlet tanager has
been seen to deyour gypsy moths at
the rate of thirty-fve minute for
eighteen minutes at a time It is
known that more than fifty species of
birds feed upon different kinds Of cat
erpillars, while thirty-eight species
live largely upon destructive plant
lice.

HYP0DERMIC RESTORES LIFE
Action Of the Heart Can Be Prolonged
After Death, Says French
Physician.

Paris, France.--Death Is by no
peans the sudden change which our
minds. laden with metaphysical tradi-
ton, imagine. We talk of something
the soul-f1ying away from the
body. It is seemingly all over. But
1t may not be, comedies the official
bulletin Of the French Academy of
Medicine. A well known doctor has
shown that every function of life save
consciousness may be kept up This
authority sees nothing extravagant In
the idea that medical science may
some day go step farther. 1t may
restore consciousness even after 1t
has been pronounced to be extinct
provided fundamental chemical trans
formations have not supervened For
a period as long as a decade French
physicians have said 1t is possible to
restore the action of the heart after
death" by means TO hypodermic in
jections. Even in so-called sudden
death there is a period which in
French medical literature is called
psychic twilight"
The case most in point, bearing up
on the whole subject. is that of late
noted French duke. He was a con-
spicuous figure in the old legitimist
club life Of the French capital. He
died recently at 10 o'clock at night.
His younger son would be Of age at
midnight. For the sake Of the two

"LlKE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When man has suffered from dys-
pepsia SO many years that he can't re-
member when he had natural appe-
tite, and then hits on way out OF
trouble he may be excused for saying
ut acts like magic"
When it is simple, wholesome
food instead Of any one of large num-
Der Of so called remedies in the form
Of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though sort Of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight Of re-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:
Like magic, tittingly describes the
manner In which Grape-Nuts relieved
me Of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss OF appetite, of many years
standing.
Il tried about every medicine that
was recommended to me, without re-
lief. Then tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion Of a friend. By the time
| had finished the fourth package, my
stomach was all right. and for the past
two months have been eating with
a relish anything set before me- That
is something / had been unable to do
previously for years.
Il am stronger than ever and con-
slider the effects Of Grape-Nuts on a
weak stomach as something really
wonderful 1t builds up the entire
body as well as the brain and nerves"

EXPENSE OF PRODUCING EGGS
Writer In Oregon Agricultural College
Bulletin Gives Results Of His
Experiments.

James s, Dryden, writing in the Ore
gon Agricultural College Bulletin, re-
lates the results of some interesting
experiments made by him, covering sew
eral years, in which every ounce Of
food consumed by six pens of Leg
horns was weighed. The six pens of
hens consumed during the year 564
pounds of wheat, 200 pounds of corn,
20S pounds of oats, 112 pounds of bran
and shorts, and 235 pounds of skim
milk, in addition to some animal food
The cost of the total food per fowl for
the year varied in different pens from
81 cents to Is cents, and averaged Sc
cents. The wheat was charged at one
cent pound, corn at one and one
quarter cents, oats at one cent, skim
milk at fifth Of a cent, and bran and
shorts at three-fifths of cent The
animal food cost from five to six cents
per fowl. The wheat constituted near
ly half Of the total cost. The hens
laid an average Of 144 eggs per fowl.

FEEDING MILK TO CHICKENS
contaIns All That Beef Scraps and
ereenbone Do and Also It 10
Highly DlgestibIe.

The most successful pouItrymen
feed some kind OF animal food to
their chickens of all ages and condi-
tons. In the wild state birds secure
both vegetable and animal foods.
Bugs and worms supply the animal
food, and seeds and other vegetable
growth the vegetable food. The ami
NAL portion of the food is always a
necessity for normal maturity and
good egg laying. So essential is ami
NAL matter in the poultry feeds that
the packing firms manufacture and
sell large quantities of prepared beef
scraps and ground bone, which are
sold very widely over the country
Those who use them find that 1t pays
very well. 1t has been found both ex.
perimentally and by practical tests
that sweet milk, sour milk, butter
milk-in fact, milk in any form-con-
tains all the elements found in other
forms of animal matter.
Milk contains all that beef scraps
and green-cut bone do, but in
more diluted form, and it is highly
digestible, and no digestive troubles
arise from either old or young chick
ems consuming large quantities of it.
Everyone who keeps COWS and poul-
try on the same farm will find it
profitable to reserve all the milk for
feeding the flock, and dispose only Of
butter fat. 1t is the best animal food
that can be given to them. Give all
the chickens all the milk they will
drink. 1t will do them no harm,-Ex-

Many stories are related to show
the ferocity of the dogfish. 1t was not
more than dozen years ago that two
New York yachtsmen we're lolling
along in sloop yacht in Penobscot
bay one July afternoon. One Of the
yachtsman, a physician named Bow

wounds showed in bis legs where the
voracious dogfsh had bitten out

several weeks before he was out Of

That the determination or at least
the thinning out Of the dogfish is prac-
