 As each COW is millSed the boy weighs the milk on scales hanging in the cell ter of the room and records the figures on a chart which hangs near the door. He then goes across the covered passage so the milk house. strains the milk and re- turns to the barn.
 This millIhousc is small compact building of nine small rooms or com partments and was built especially for this purpose. The rooms in which tho milk is kept are cool and dark, with no windows and. of course there are screens wherever there are openings. The heavy front door opens into cool dark room where the milk is strained IL flows from the straner into a miN-tank in the next room, which is the center of the building. The doors leading from it to the other rooms are screened and the opening in the ceiling over which the Vent,lator is installed, is covered with screen.
 The milk remains in the tank in this center room until il is bottled. When if Is milked and strained into this tank 1t is at temperature of 20 degrees. It is cooled as quickly as possible to B or i0 degrees. The milk tank has double sides. with space between for crushed ice and for
 
 the left is box of crushed ice. and by means of power from engine in the next room this ice water is sent through a pipe from this box to the milk tank and back in another pipe to the ice box. There is perceptihle difference in temperature between the pipe leading to the milk tank and the one leading away from il to the ice box, with the water that has been past the milk tank helping to cool the warm milk.
 Back of this center room where the milk is cooled and bottled is the room in which the bottles are washed There are l windows and screened dcors in this room, l so that 1t receives an abundance of fresh | air The bottles are washed in two large 1 tanks provided With hot and cold water i faucets. From there they are carried to l the sterlizing room, on the right of the milk room. The sterilizing room is built l with an eight-inch cement wall. Next to | this is a four-inch airspace. The inside 1 walls are of tongue and groove lumber | covered with asbestos and then with zinc. The bottles are placed in this room after they have been washed and are ster-

ton to make and keep among his cus- toners, who judge from the taste of the milk he furnishes them. and he also must keep his place up to the requirements of the milk inspectors. They do not con tent themselves with the taste, but inspect the condition under which the milk is pro- duced, the health of the cows and the cleanliness and sanitation of all vessels, buildings and grounds beside making tests of the milk itself. The dairyman' 8 entire place. so far as it concerns the milk, is subject to this inspection and each dairy is graded on all these points.
 It is customary here to publish in the Birmingham papers, following these in spectons, list of all dairies furnish- ing milk in Birmingham, together with the per cent made by each. In the last of such inspections the scores ranged from below 60 to fraction over 97 per cent. This highest score was made by the Cloverdale Certified Milk company, which headed the list and was the highest of four whose grades were in the nineties. To be the owner of the highest grade dairy in so large number is distinc- tion worth having. Why is it the best? ? What difference is there between a quart of milk or little half pint cream bottle that comes from that dairy and one that comes from anywhere else? Perhaps you would like to know the story of that quart or that half pint of cream and of milk that is left at your door every morn ing, and to tell the story suppose we tell of the work at the Cloverdale dairy since it is Birmingham's model dairy.
 To begin with it is the only certified dairy in the state, the only one which the owner knows south of Louisville. At any rate it is one of the few of it's kind in the south. Not all dairies may use the word certified in their name, for these must meet higher requirements than others. They must have no scrub cows but all must be pure blood. They must have minimum of per cent butter fat, where the legal requirements is 3k per cent. Their milk must be as clean and their barns sanitary as it is possible for them to be kept and precaution must be taken to cool the milk as quickly as possible.
 Cloverdale Certified Milk company is owned by T. w. Riddle and his son, Rob- ert Riddle. and the dairy is on Mr Rid dle's farm at Huffman, four miles from

Tn present day housekeeping the dairy , man is recognized as an important and an efficient factor. There wds a time when each family had it's own provision for every household necessity--its own farm. garden, meats. honey, and of course, it's own milk and butter. That was among the very last to give way to the modern plan of having specialists in each line The loom and the spinning wheel, the molds for tallow candles the ash hopper-all are relics now, replaced long1 since by machinery Bee hives went lat ter, not to be replaced oy machinery, for honeycomb is one thing that can't be made by machinery; but now a smaller number of people keep bees each on larger scale.. instead of each family's having its own limited supply of honey for home use Packing houses have sup planted the smoke house in the back yard, and gradually the production of meat at home has decreased. The house. Keeper of each family no longer does all her own preserving and canning of fruits and vegetables but leaves that for those who make it their business. She realizes just does a person in any other pro- fession, that this is day of specialists. She relies on specialists in various lines to provide her with number of the diff ferent things she needs and makes her self specialists in those she provides.
 Among the last to be replaced by . specialist was the home supply of milk and butter. The family COW was consid- cred an indispensable adjunct to the household. No other milk and butter equalled hers. She was always named. in deed she was almost a member of the family, and she was admired and petted by each one unless she happened to be so unfortunate to be too refractory for such attention. But the modern plan of housekeeping makes it almost as imprac- tcable to be one's own dairyman as to be ones own laundryman, and so the matter of providing milk butter butter milk and cream has been delegated to specialists.

British Royal Family.

One hundred years ago England held
a national jubilee in celebration Of the
centenary of the accession Of the
House of Hanover to the English
throne. The first of the H~anoverian
line was George l, who succeeded to
the throne of Great Britain and Ire
land on the death of Queen Anne, Au-
gust l, TIA. Georges succession to
the throne came through his mother,
the electress Sophia of Hanover, who
was a granddaughter Of James l. The
most conspicuous figure in the reign
of George l was Sir Robert Walpole,
who was the first prime minister Of
England. The fact that George could
speak no English, while his ministers
could speak no German, taken with
the other fact that the king preferred
to spend much of his time in Hanover,
gave to the Office of prime minister,
that Walpole was the first to hold, the
character hat it has since retained.

Nav Lower Price of Radlum.

Contracts for delivery of radium in
the early months Of 1915 have been en-
tered into at a price as low as $67.50 a
milligram, and there is a widely prev
alent belief that there may be a great
fall in the price during the next two
years. 1t is interesting to note that for
some time after its discovery radium
could be procured at less than one
tenth of its present price. The de-
mand for radium to be used for medi-
cal purposes has hitherto absorbed the
output, and has led to rates being
quoted which are excessive and alto
gether artificial. The large profits OBJ
tanned have, however, stimulated
search for uranium ores in various
countries, notably in America, and as
there are unlimited quantities Of low
grade uranium rocks available it
would appear to be merely a question
of time before radium will be placed
on the market at a price bearing a
reasonable ratio to the cost of its pro
duction.

STRENGTH OF HEART
infallible Test, According to Proml-
nent Physician. Is the Ability
to Hold tho Breath.

DR.. w. A. Schtange, in a recent
number of the Roussky Vratch, ex-
plains why a healthy person can sus-
pend breathing for from thirty to
forty seconds, or, with practice, for
three times as long. This depends,
the doctor asserts, not on the lung
capacity but upon the vigor of the
heart muscle. In q word, the longer
you can hold your breath the greater
is your heart power, persons with
weak hearts being unable to suspend
their breathing for more than twenty
or even ten seconds.
Doctor Schtange, who is a surgeon
Of note, tests his patients in this novel
way before giving them a general
anesthetic, such as ether or chloro-
form. Seated in a chair, the patient
Is instructed to take a deep 1nspira-
ton and, with the mouth closed, to
hold his breath as long as he can. The
longer he can hold it the less danger
will there be from the anesthetic,
and should he not be able to suspend
his breathing for as long as twenty
seconds, the anesthetic is, as the doc
tor says, "contra-indicated."
