they work a hardship. LoOphOles are

SOME MILK MACHINE TESTS
Danish Experiments Reported to De-
partment Of Agriculture Should
Prove of Much Interest.

The subject of milking machines is
one of current interest in dairying cir
cles, says the American CultivatOr.
Along this line the results of some
Danish experiments reported to the de-
partment Of agriculture should prove
of value, since Denmark is at the top
notch in dairying practice.
Four uniform lots of ten COWS and
four heifers were, used in the first sea
sons experiments, and in the second
seasons experiments four lots Of IA
head each were used The results Of
the experiments showed that nearly
the same amounts of milk were, in
general, obtained By either method of
milking For the aged cows, however,
hand milking appeared to give small
increase over machine milking, while
the opposite was true for the heifers.
The chemical composition of the milk
was not affected by the method of
milking adopted. No special difficulty
was met with in operating during the
process of milking The great differ
ence in the ease of milking different
COWS and heifers by hand was found
to be not nearly SO pronounced by
machine milking
The results obtained indicate that
one man with two machines (milking
four cows) can do about the same
work as three hand mixers, and can
milk 80 to 60 COWS in two to two and
one-half hours. The archaeological
examinations of the milk showed that
machine-drawn milk may have fewer
germs than milk drawn by hand, if
both the machine and the teats OF
the COWS are kept scrupulously clean.
Care in keeping the teats clean is
especially important from the fact
that bacteria in dirt adhering to the
teats are likely to be sucked into the
milk pail with the air, and will tend
largely to increase the bacterial con-
tent of the milk.

WANT THE EMBLEM UNIFORM
Association That Is Fighting .Tubercu
Iesis Gives Exact Proportions of
Its Double Red Cross.

A special committee of the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. of which Dr..
Henry Barton Jacobs of Baltimore Is
chairman, has just announced the ex-
act proportions of the double red
cross, the international tuberculosis
emblem, which have been adopted for
use in the United States. Every or
ganiZation or institution dealing with
tuberculosis will be urged TO use the
emblem in its correct proportions. Al
though the double red cross was adopt
ed for use in the United States in 1906
as the symbol Of the crusade against
tuberculosis, no effort was made TO
standardiZe the shape or proportions,
with the result that hundreds of diff
ferently formed emblems are now be
ing used in this country. After a year
Of study of the history and artistic
merits of all OF the designs available,
the National association has finally
chosen one in which all Of the arms
are pointed, the two cross-arms being
of the same length. The width Of the
cross is taken as the unit in Getermin-
ing the proportions. The length OF
the lower left is seven units, the arms
are three units on either side, the
point above the arms two and one-half
units and the distance between the
arms one and one-half units. These
measurements hold good for any size.

KEEP WATCH ON TURKEY HENS

HORSE POWER NOT UTILIZED
Average Farm Animal Works About
Three and Half Hours Per Day
Cost Is Twice Too Much.

Carefully conducted Investigations
show that under ordinary conditions
on American farms work horses are
utilized only about three and a half
hours a day on the average. Horse
power is thus utilized to less than half
its capacity Per unit of work done
this power costs more than twice what
it should cost. The full utilization of
the power actually available would
thus reduce materially the cost of pro-
ducing crops. The cost of keeping a
work horse is on the average about
$125 a year The average utilization
Of the horse is about 1850 hours a
year, at an hourly cost of 10 cents per
hour If we double the number of
hours work the horse does-and this
can be done without injury to the
animal-we reduce the hourly cost to
5 cents.

LITTLE LIFTS ON THE FARM
Several Practical Suggestions That
VIII Lessen Work of the Farmer
if Followed Carefully.

Every farm ought to be equipped
with a crowbar and a ten-foot iron
tipped wooden spike for moving
heavy objects. They save time and
take the place Of muscle.
The best way to mend straps on
common teamwork harness is to rivet
with copper rivets. They never rot
and hold better than wax-ends.
1t viii pay to have on hand dupli-
Gates of the most breaka BE parts OF
the harvester. Il costs time, which
is money, II stop a machine in rush
days to wait fer the broken parts.
4 ten-dOIlar forge and an anvil with
a few other tools will more than pay
their cost the first year.
Every farm ought to have little
work shop stocked with a few good
tools and plenty of bolts Of various
sizes, nuts, rivets, a few pieces OF
round and strap-iron and such things.
If the lawn is uneven, put the roll
er on it after 4 heavy rain this fall
and again in the spring. Use the IN
shod horses to draw it.
It does not pay to keep a runt of
any kind on the farm. Get rid OF
them.
Never put q thick pad under a
horses collar Leather is the only
thing.
# you happen to run into poison
ivy, wash in hot water Just as soon
as TcU can. Gri-delia, which can be
had at any drug store, rubbed on the
parts every five minutes until the
itching stops, viii also cure it. if done

This occurred several times, ana
each time his dogship arose to the oc-

easily won the day when he turned to

We Are Behind In Aviation.

Europe is in earnest in seeking the
ultimate conquest of the air, while
America looks on as the spectator of
a contest in which she was once su-

America IS that the government does
not make the pursuit of the science re
muneratiye enough to attract the best
qualified experts to engage in it. The
only way by which America can re-
gain her lost laurels is for the govern

the support of their families in case
of disability or death At present the
newest military arm of the service is
undermined, inadequately equipped
and poorly paid. notwithstanding the

Able Assistant.

The small son of a clergyman who
was noted for his tiresome sermons
overheard two friends of his father
saying how dry they were, and how
hard it was to keep awake during
them. The following Sunday, while the
minister was preaching, he was as
founded to see his son throwing peb-

at him, when the boy piped out in a
clear treble voice:

WhfteMash Dairy Barn.

Doctor Marshall, a Pennsylvania in
stitute speaker, says that whitewash-
ing of dairy barns should be done for
the sake of general sanitation, but
the main point in fight against tuber-
cuIousis is the elimination of the dark
stables and filthy stall conditions.
When clean methods are used in the
keeping of COWS, he advises the use Of
a compound made from one pound of
chloride of lime and five gallons Of
whitewash, which, when put on the
walls and stable partitions, acts as an
effective preventive Of disease.
