What Makes q Good cow7

Professor ". J. Kennedy Of the
iowa station recommends the follow
ing in reference to the selection Of
breeding stock for the dairy:
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester. The COW is a machine to con.
vert food into milk. Thus she must
have a large middle and a strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good sized teats.

Hardening Low Grade Steel.

A good grade of steel cannot always
be obtained for making cold chisels,
aat drills. punches and lathe tools, con-
sequently the hardening process must
be right to secure an even temper
that will keep an edge, says
Popular Mechanics. The following So
luton will give excellent results on
tools having a thin cutting edge and
made Of low grade steel. Dissolve two
unces of chloride Of mercury and two
quarts of common salt in three gallons
Of soft WATERMAN 81 distilled. Use
the solution as in hardening ordinary
steel, and the metal will be nicely hard.
ened as we'll as made tough.

SCIENTISTS GO DOWN RIVER.
Trip Made to Investigate Further Al
legged Oyster Contamination.

With psychologists and other scientists
aboard, the Virginia oyster police boat
Gen. Maury left here yesterday on a trip
Of inspection of the Potomac river to de-
terrnine to what extent the sewerage of
this city is responsible for the alleged
contamination of the oysters in beds
seventy miles below this city.
The Maury arrived here Thursday after
noon from the lower Potomac, and as
soon as the scientists were aboard she
started down the river. A stop was
made at the sewer outlet between this
city and Alexandria to take samples of
the water discharged into the river from
the sewer pipes twenty feet below the
surface, and it was stated that frequent
stops would be made along the river to
take other samples Of river water for
examination and chemical tests.
This is the first visit the Gen. Maury
has made here in several years. She
visits Alexandria once or twice each sea-
son, but seldom extends her trips out OF
Maryland or Virginia waters. 1t is stated
at the oyster wharf that samples of oys-
tiers being brought here by the runboats
have several times this season been taken
by the experts of the Department OF
Agriculture, but SO far no concentrations
have been made, though it Is limited that
some of the oysters examined may have
come from the beds in the vicinity of
Colonial Beach, which are said to be
full of typhoid and other germs.

about "a month, and the work done on it
has been so extensive that il will be
practically new craft when put over
board.
Having had her hull at the load water
line covered with heavy planking to pro-
tect 1t from ice. the schooner Elizabeth
Carter of the Carter fleet was yesterday
taken into the Eastern branch to load
several thousand brick. Today she will
20 to Alexandria to load lumber and will
then go to Colonial Beach. While down
the river she will load lumber for this
city. The sheathing placed on her hull
will allow her to tow through heavy ice
without being damaged, the ice cutting
the sheathing instead of the hull of the
schooner.
The schooner Five Sisters is lying in
Aqua creek to be given a general over
hauling before returning to service in the
spring.
