USING ELECTRICITY
IN THE DAIRY

Because Of the nature Of the work
to be done and the absolute necessi-
ty for sanitation, electricity ia Of
great value in the modern dairy.
Fortunate is the dairy that Is within
reach Of cheap and certain electric
light and power.
Sanitation. the best that 1t il pos
sibIe to secure. ID q prime essential
in the dairy. Health experts long
since agreed that there Is no better
medium for the spread of disease
than impure milk and milk pro-
ducts.
The vacuum process for milking,
for keeping the cows clean and for
caring for the cream. butter. and
other dairy products is coming into
extensive use among the more pro-
gressive dairymen.
Among the electrical devices now
extensively used in the modern dairy
are the cream separator, water pump,
churn, butter worker, lighting, re-
frigerator, milking machine, bottle
and can washer, cream tester, clari-
fer, grinder and vacuum cleaner.
One Of the most frequent sources
Of contamination IN milk is the dirt
and hair from the hide Of the COW.
When cows are cleaned in the ordi-
nary way. dirt is stirred up and flies
about the stable. Where thevacuum
pump is used in the dairy. this flying
dirt Is avoided by the use Of vacuum
tools In cleaning the cows. These
vacuum tools may be attached 10 the
! milking machine vacuum system, and
the dirt is drawn off the cows hidea
. and gathered into a dust collector.
This outfit Is equally valuable for
gneoming horses. A clipper may be
used in the same way.
J Valuable also Is the milking ma

IDAHO BUILDING HAS
A FEATURE OF CHARM
Artificial Mountain in the Rio centr,1 cb.~.h..
Shows Artistic Endeavor+- Work Done Tn
oef direction OF Miss Mulkey.

San Francisco, Dec. 7.-Since the
completion of Idaho's building at the
Panama-Pacific international expos;-
ton, q bright young woman. Miss
Emma L. Mulkey, has been directing
the setting up of an artificial moun-
tain that almost fills the big central
chamber on the first floor. AS she
is the only woman who has ever en-
gagged in that line of artistic endeay-
or, her work attracts many people to
the buildings interior for whom il
would otherwise possess no magne-
tism, their visit is amply rewarded
especially if they are advocates of
feminine advancement-by the con-
vincing way in which she proves that
the sterner sex is not naturally sa-
preme in either inventive art or ex-
ecutive ability, or a combination of
those qualities. For in addition to
designing the ideal landscape, she has
superintendent every detail of its
mechanical construction and with her
own hand will apply the paint that is
to perfect its likeness to nature. And
when that job is finished she has re-
quests for others of its kind that will
keep her busily engaged until the ex-
position is formally opened, February
20, 1915.
Miss Mulkey's mountain-that's s
what her artistic associates term it
sharply slopes upward from floor to
ceiling its foot being far enough from
the front wall to enable a hundred
or more people to simultaneously
view it. Tumbling and roaring amid
its jagged and rounded rocks is a
stream that has neither visible source
nor outlet, and by trick of perspec-
tive it seems to be narrower and
shallower at the apex than at where
itmysteriously disappears at the bot
tom. Many gallons of water are re-
quired to keep this cascade in con-
slant action, but an electric-power
pump maintains the endless stream
with little or no waste. The bed of
the brook is concrete and sufficiently
rough to make it look like the real
thing.
All the rest of the surface is thick
paper laid upon wire netting support
ed by wooden props, varying in
height to conform with the uneven
topography. Concealed amid the
natural-colored rocks, are deposits of
earth from which grow trees, shrubs,
plants and grasses, brought from
Idaho, and by the same trick of per-
spective, that makes the brook APP
parently diminish in volume as the
eye travels upward. this flora seems
to increase in size as it approaches
the spectator below.
Taxidermy is enlisted in the gen
eral scheme. Indeed, one object OF
the exhibit is to show the fauna that
fionrished in Idaho,s mountains be.

killed for the JOY of killing, and which

ment of laws for the protection o

mails scattered over the miniature
mountain, are bear. moose, big-horn
sheep and several defunct specimens
OF the wild life that the pathfinders
OF the northwest found abundant in
Idaho.
BY an ingenious system of lighting,
the fac-simile mountain will be even
more eye-pleasing at night than in
daytime, for it will seem to be bathed
in moonshine, with gloomy shadows
among the rocks, and the stream
sparkling in its exposed places.
When her mountain is finished,
Miss Mulkey will make model of
Shoshone Falls and one of Arrow
Rock dam, about 20 miles from
BoisH, and if time permits she may
also construct a fac-simile in minia-
ture Of a group of mines in the Occur
Alene country.
In the meantime, landscape gar
dener is beautifying the unoccupied
portion of Idaho's site at the exposi-
tion. of which the rectangular pavil-
ion covers 50x122 feet. AS the
structure now appears, it is credit
J
to the firm that built it (Messrs. Story
& Salih of Boise), and well worth
the $40, 900 gap it has made in the
states 100000 appropriation. Ex-
ternally, the building is marked by
savor of solidity that only close in
spection removes. while it is suffi-
GENTLY adorned to comply with the
cannpns of good taste. Its spacious
cement terrace affords an unequalled
view of the most picturesque part Of
San Francisco bay, where the Golden
Gate Widens into that broad sheet of
water; and the architect thoughtful
ly provided the north facade with SO
many big windows that the same
rayiahing landscape can be enjoyed
in unison by hundreds of people
within the building. There is not q
more favorably located structure in
| the 0ity of the states.
IT. interior arrangement must sat.
isfy anyone who approves of minglina
utility and ornament. Each of the
chambers is more than sufficiently
spacious to serve it's intended use
and the lighting throughout is ad
mirable, while big fireplaces are es
tablished where they are likely to b.
most needed. Most of the stat
buildings contain a theatre for NOV
ing pictures, but Idaho has the onl,
chamber of that kind that looks lik
a regular house of movies, " with
sloplng floor. In this chamber, b
the way will be daily unrolled abou
$4,000 worth of films showing Ids
hos scenic charms and industrial re
sources.
II the furnishing of the building
comfort is to be combined with ell
gance. especially in the rest room fo
women and the smoking room fl
men. Hospitality to all visiting Id
hoahs will be literally extende
throughout the exposition period,

: among the accessories.

Frances long series Of naval disasters

But while. to our minds. dirt and
discipline are contradictory terms.
there isn't any conclusive proof that
dirt and straight shooting should be.
And the French can show very
pretty article Of the latter commodity.
Ashore they are handicapped by u
great deal of graft and slack methods
in their navy yards. but at sea the
French are not only good seafaring
men, but plentifully supplied with en-
thusiasm for their profession.
There are no naval men in the
world who study their profession

In so far as strength in the air is
