Much can be done to safeguard the
milk supply OF the cities; much is be-
ing done now and more will be done
in the future, as fast as the public
awakes to the tremendous Importance
Of the subject,
One of the quickest ways to get re-
suits In your campaign to protect your
W family from impure milk is to
thoroughly investigate the source OF
supply and see that the milk comes
from healthy COWS, and Is handled
in such a way that II reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
1t has not been warme than 30 de-
grees since milking, and that there
has been no possible chance OF dust or
dirt OF any character getting into 1t.
The very best and most satisfactory
way to secure pure milk, at the lowest
possible cost Is to keep a COW your.
self, II your circumstances will permit
All you will need Is a small stable,
and a lot OF paddock where the COW
can get out into the fresh air for ex-
ercise, Even under city or suburban
conditions milk a be produced for
from three to five cents a quart, buy
ing all the feed. Many a city man is
getting all the milk his family wants
for their own use and Ia selling
enough besides to pay for his cows
entire keep.
Milk, when taken from the COW In
the proper manner, is az clean as any
OF food that we have. The
sooner 1t reaches the consumer and
the fewer hands 1t has to pass
through, the smaller the opportunity
for foreign matter and disease germs
to get into It. The city family that
OWNS, feeds and milks Its own COW
n OF those great privileges
make the country a better place
10 live in than the city.

DAMAGED FOODS.
Dr.. Rowan Issues Bulletin Condemnin2
Their Sale.

Jackson.-One of the problems with
which the sanitary and health officers
of the state are confronted is how ia
deal with the traffic in damaged food.
stuffs. According to DR.. w. H. Rowan,
chief sanitary inspector of the board
of health, in a bulletin recently issued,
there are grocery dealers in the state
who are handling flour, meal, chops and
other such articles after they are dam
aged in transit. The railroads, as
stated, sell this stuff to dealers at bar
gain prices, who in turn dispose of it
to the consumers, after separating tho
dry from the damaged part, selling it
without label of any kind. Several
samples of this kind of stuff were
taken to the board of health laboratory
for microscopic examination, and all
showed the presence of mould.
ut has been our intention" says
DR.. Rowan, "to protect the public from
such imposition as this; but we can
do it only by having the assistance Of
local health officers and town officials
throughout the state"
Another suggestion of DR.. Rowan IS
as to dieting during the warm period,
who observes:
"Our people eat just as much meat
during the summer periods as do the
people of colder climates. This is a
mistake of tremendous Importance, as
in this climate we should confine our
summer diet to vegetables and fruit
almost entirely, if We would avoid being
uncomfortably warm, The eating Of
meat should be avoided for another
reason: Our butchers are killing, usu-
ally, a poorer quality of meat than for.
merly, and many of them are so neg
lectful of their slaughter houses and
markets that the public should be very
careful"

water or large ponds, as many be-
lieve. Just enough water for drink
ing purposes Is sufficient.
I prefer the White Emboden or large
Toulouse geese, as they are larger,
more hardy and reach maturity In
a less time. At two months Of age
they are nearly grown and full
feathered except the wings. AS soon
as the feathers are free from blood
in the quilts the geese may be
picked. and II they were Matched
early they may be picked four times
before cold weather.
The feathers obtained will o re.
pay the cost of raising the geese
and as their keep Is a very small
item, thereafter the feathers are
nearly all profit. During the past
few years geese have come to be very
popular at the holiday season and
bring prices that mean q big profit.

USinu HedueS Profitable.

The hedge Ia one or the most valu'
able landscape assets that w have,
and at the same time one Of the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago, it fell rapidly into disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
ornamental hedge Is beginning to
come back to It's proper field now, and
we trust that 1t will be more generally
used, in its proper place.
The formal hedge, particularly the
evergreen hedge, has not place on the
small lot. 1t Is as much out Of place
as six two.story Ionic pillars In front
of a portable bungalow. And that
means that hedges Of any kind are In
bad taste on most small lots.
II the house itself Is not close to the
sidewalk, or It Is desirable to use a
hedge on q small lot because Of un-
usual conditions, use a low, informal
hedge such as %barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field Of the hedge Is as
a beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds, or as a screen to furnish pri-
vacy and shut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
hedge cannot be surpassed, because 1t
Is equally effective In winter and sum.
mer, Its life Is from fifteen to twenty
years, and 1t forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock for the tree
hedges. The effect Is somber and the
view from the house will be bright
ened by planting a few Colorado blue
spruce and a line Of red barked flow.
ering dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effects
can be secured by putting in Califor
MIA privet, barberry OIL Japanese
ounce. and they are fully as satisfac-
tory In their own way.
For screens nothing can surpass
hemlock or some of u beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs, such as the hardy
lilacs and syringas.
In moist, cool regions, such as pre-
vail along the coast line Of New Eng.
land, the lockwood plant is almost uni
versally used, and it makes a hedge
rs smooth and solid looking as a bank
OF turf.
Planting directions vary with the
season, the soil and the plants used:
hence we cannot cover them all in this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful
ly at any time of the year that the
ground can be worked, but spring and
fall are the best times. Be sure to
fertilize we'll and plant thickly enough.
About SIS worth of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.

GEESE MONEY MAKERS
Many Farmers Devote All Their
Attention to Hen.
Excellent Opportunity offered 10 &c.
cure Profitable ReSults-Losses
usually Caused by Ignorance
Of Keeper.

More and more our farmers are be-
coming interested in the poultry
business, and the hen now reigns
supreme on many farms. Nearly all
seem to devote their attention to the
chickens exclusively, thus making
the opportunity for obtaining good
returns from geese all the better.
| believe that many will find II
profitable TO give this line OF work a
trial, writes an Ohio farmer In the
Farm Progress. Many seem to have
gained the impression that geese are
hard to raise, but / do not think 80, as
experience has shown them to be
much less bother than chickens. I al
ways use hens for Matching, giving
each one six eggs, and l usually get
good results.
When Matched, the goslings are
taken from the hen. and placed In a
warm box for a couple Of days. After
that they are taken out to q spot
where there Is plenty Of tender grass
and given a shallow pan filled with
water. Do this for a few days, and
they will learn where their quarters
are, and they may then be allowed to
u where they please.
Losses are usually caused by igno-
rance on the part Of the keeper. Cos
lings are unlike chicks, for they re-
Quire little feed. Tender grasses and
similar green's Is all they require,
and the feeding Of other stuff will
soon cause bowel trouble and death.
Neither do geese require running

HINTS FOR THE HOME SEWER
Some Useful Suggestions for Those
Who Try to Do Their Own
NeedIeWork,

The soft wash silk shirt waist is
made more or less plain, according to
the figure that it's wearer possesses.
For those who are plump the plainest
models are chosen. But shoulders are
long and so are sleeves.
The neck cf these waists is finished
with a turnover collar and tie. The
collar is soft and rather high at the
back Cuffs are turned back, and link
buttons are worn with some of them.
By the way Of little frivolity, ja-
bots of net or lace provide a finishing
touch which seems superfluous with
the four-in-hand tie, but is neverthe.
less in evidence.
When made up for a slender figure
these waists are set to a yoke in the
back and fulled into the shoulder seam
in front. The collars are widened.
Soft waists of crepe cloth are made
plain with long sleeves and wide sailor
collars, as well as in the regulation
designs just described. Turn back
cuffs are often finished with crystal
buttons. These waists are opened at
the throat.

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERlNo, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more a period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected. Throughout the
States there are those who If allowed
to continue borrowing, would inev-
itably be a means towards precipi-
tating something q good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and 1t is
safe to say business was never bet
ter The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are in part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. l am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. l
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $16S,25O,0OO, or
an increase over the year 1911-12 of
over $32,000,000. Some indication of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the pc
riod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue of the country seventy
years ago.
"The augmentation of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in it's nature, but has steadily charac-
terized each month of the entire fiscal
| year. 1t was of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
! sources of revenue-excise, post Office
and railways-also gave us very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets of the, world but have
been able to reduce so substantially
(S23,000 000) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be matter of qualification,
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
Il believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
in the world"
Owing to the favorable state of its
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue Of bills or Sc
curities.-AdN itisement.

REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method of Trading 'InduIged
In by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling place the
Kukuhuhus, shy yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have a great fear
of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc. and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by a
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain dwellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast dwellers ap-
prOach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; if not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.
