SOUR MILK BY ELECTRICITY
Insplrits and Invigorates Bacteria as
Alcohol, Cocain or Strong Tea Az
fects Man-Work Quickly.

To many persons the curdling of
milk in thunder shower is a myster-
ious and unintelligible phenomenon
Yet the entire process is really simple
and natural. Milk like most other
substances contains millions of bac-
terra. The milk bacteria that in a
day or two under natural conditions
would cause the fluid to sour are pecu-
liarly susceptible to electricity.
Electricity inspirits and invigorates
them affecting them as alcohol, CO.
cain or strong tea affects men, Under
currents influence they fall to work
with amazing energy and instead of
taking couple of days to sour the
milk they accomplish the task COM
pletely in half an hour.
1t is not the thunder in the storm
that sours the milk it is the electric
ity in the air that does it. With an
electric battery it is easy on the same
principle to sour the freshest milk

he lived in the forests of the north

DAIRYING ON BUSINESS BASIS
Separate Account Should Be Kept
With Each Cow to Ascertain Her
Exact Cost and Profit.


In order to put dairying upon a busi-
ness basis every farmer needs to use
the milk scales, the tester and the
record book. The successful business
man has ledger to guide him in his
transactions Every dairyman needs
to enter a separate account with each
OF his COWS so that he may have an in
dictator to tell him at the end of the
year just how much feed each COW has
consumed, the amount of milk pro-
duced and the percentage it tests
Too many farmers of the country are
keeping the scrub COW, feeding and
milking her twice each day, ii times
each week, 60 times each month and
72O times each year merely for the
pleasure of her company, when a por-
ton of this time might well be ex-
pended in estimating the feed weigh
ing and testing the milk and credit
ing the same to each COW.
Many good dairymen squander 80
minutes each day gambling with the
scrub COW when three minutes time
with the scales, tester and record book
would put the herd upon a paying ba-
sis and money in their pockets.
The keeping of records is a business
transaction and means the essential
difference between knowing and guess
ing, pleasure and drudgery. profit and
loss, success and failure.

WHO WILL SING ITS PRAISE?
Surely the Humble But Useful Carrot
Has Been ShamefuIIy
Neglected.
Copyright. 1913, by W. C. chapman)

Why does no poet arise to sing the
song of the carrot? This Is the car
rot season, the time of harvesting
the hardest worked vegetable in the
kingdom. Much is said in favor of
the plethoric pumpkin, the gathering
of corn is a commonplace theme, but
the poor carrot has been neglected,
yea, even scorned
For diversity of use the carrot has
pumpkin and corn backed over the
garden wall Men feed carrots to
cattle, increasing the dairy output;
they feed them to other stock some
times, improving it's temper. A car
rot, artifcially followed with a
knife, makes an elegant Japanese
vase. Sufficiently hardened by harsh
contact with the world, carrot may
be used for a weapon, either operated
like mallet with a handle or hurled
like Russian bomb.
Carrots are sometimes even used
for food by human beings. They are
chief ingredient in vegetable soup.
Mixed with butter they improve its
color. They make better pumpkin
pie than pumpkins themselves.
Served as hubbard squash, they
make one wonder why squashes were
invented.
The answer to the high cost of liv-
ing cry is carrots. Johnson had his

AS A GLOW-WORM
By GEORGE ELMER coBe.

Two persons in Fairview were writ
ing letters at the same hour; a grace
full, lovely young woman of twenty-five,
Marcia Westbrook; a grave-faced,
handsome man of thirty, Rolfe Dur
ward. Neither knew of the employ
iment of the other, yet each was writ
ing of the other, and only some casu-
al connecting link of circumstances
was needed to bring forth a rare, sweet
romance.
Thus ended the letter Of Durward
to his close friend in distant city:
AS to your question of getting mar
ried and settled down, that is far dis
tant. l do not think am generally a
favorite with the fair sex. There is
young lady here, a Miss Westbrook.
have not had her out of my mind
since l first saw her, but she is rich,
am poor, and I am as a glow-worm
coveting the star"
The letter of Miss Westbrook was
coincidentally also to a close friend,
and it ended: $50, dear, do not think
l have taken leave of my senses, but
tell me just what you think of a face
that presents to me nobleness and
attraction l cannot resist. His name
is Rolfe Durward, he has a respecta-
Bile position, and, like myself, think,
he has met with those Bullets of fate
that make the heart mature and likely
to respond only to the real merits of
life"
The grave strain in the missive had
basis. Marcia Westbrook had lost
father and mother in a single year.
She had been left in charge of three
young children, her sisters. She had
given her life to them and had seen
little of social pleasure.
Durward had seen business left to
him by his dead father wrecked by a
designing partner and had been COM
