The Farm Has II.

The statistical experts at Washington
have calculated that in one of the best
agricultural states in the Middle West,
the average yearly accumulation of each
farmer amounts to but Sl13, pitifully
small sum, considering the long days and
nights of toll and anxiety. A study Of
averages is apt to be discouraging, for in
this case they take in Peter Tum mbledown
whose operations are to the bad every
year, as we'll as those of Simon Thrifty
who has a handsome balance left over at
the end of each year. Even at the worst,
however, the farmers profit will COM
pare favorably with that of the small
storekeepers and tradesmen in the cities.
If statistics were at hand, they would
doubtless show that few of them have
anything left over at the end of the year,
while large percentage comes out at
the little end of the horn. But over and
above the question of net profits, are
other things not enumerated or taken
account of by the professors who deal
in statistics, and yet which are of the
greatest Importance. II the farmer does
not accumulate much from year to year,
he has good living from his fields. The
pure-food warnings have no terrors for
him, for be provides most of his own
food, and he knows that it is pure,
wholesome, nourishing, and in much
greater variety and abundance than the
average city man can afford. Still another
almost priceless asset is that of health,
now here more abounding than on the
farm. Therefore, if We reckon mp every
thing and strike just average, it will be
shown that after all the advantage lies
with the farm.

Methods or Equipment.

In producing sanitary milk, which do
you consider most important, good
methods OF fine equipment?
Where dairy inspection is carried on
and the inspector makes no test or ex'
lamiuation of the milk produced, but
scores by equipment and methods, would
YOU consider such inspection satis-

Bristol, Va. X. F. ID.
Whether good methods or fine equip
ment are the most important in making
sanitary milk will depend TO certain
extent upon the definition given these
two terms. AS ordinarily understood, We
would consider that good methods were
by far more important. In order to pro-
duce sanitary milk to the best advantage
and with the largest chances of success
tor a given amount OF work, good equip
meut will render the best results. IL
by fine equipment is meant the extremes
of fashion in dairy equipment, We would
saw that these are useful mainly because
of their pleasing appearance to the eye
and the influence they have upon the
mau in doing the work. However, a
II q
clean even with what might at times be
termed poor equipment. In this, as III
so many other things, the man behind
the COW is the largest factor OF success
in making sanitary milk.
| The bacterial examination OF milk is
in the last analysis our best presen,
method of determining the healthfulness
of milk. II will not always show
whether the disease germs are present
in the milk, but it will show whether
there is not danger that the milk may
contain pathogenic germs or has beer
so cared for as to render 1t possibly unit
for food. None-the-leSs q scoring of 9
dairy according to its equipment anC
methods is a partial indication as to the
healthfulness of the product secured. A
proper inspection of the milk producing
plant will determine whether the cows
are healthy, whether the employee,
are healthy, and whether the care of th'
milk is such that under ordinary con
ditions it bears the promise OF beins
kept in a sanitary condition. Then, too
scoring by equipment and methods help
10 educate the dairy farmer as to th
best methods of producing sanitary milk
and this in turn should indicate bette
quality OF the milk and render 1t NOR
safe for human consumption. OF course
, in this latter method We have the buma
element with which to contend and tn
fact that the inspector may not be a
efficient as may be desired, so his scorin
may be of relatively slight value in 10
suring a safe milk supply. - Hoard

Arrival of Cooperation.

1t was less than FIVE years ago that CO.
operation of New England fruit growers
was joke. Middlemen and others never
took very seriously any associated effort
on the part Of group of farmers and
contented themselves with the declara-
ton, "They will soon fizzle out" Un-
fortunately, they had many examples to
prove the argument. Now it is begin
ming to be another story. The annual
convention of the International apple
shippers association held in Boston
found four strong cooperative fruit
asso citations represented from the State
of Maine alone. Each of these organiza-
tions Ia doing real cooperative work to
the benefit of the pocketbooks of mem
bers. One Of them particularly, which
has been described (the Oxford Bears)
is aggressive, sound and successful. In
another half dozen years the chances are
there will be 80 or more of these sue.
cessful local organizations along frui,
lines. Eventually, these will be in posi-
ton to engage sales agent and effec,
further savings. Real cooperation
among New England farmers has been .
long time coming, but 1t is here. There
will be more failures, but rapidly in
creasing successes-New England Home

Neuralgia.

Severe neuralgia can be cured by In
1ecting alcohol into the nerves, but the
cost Is terrible, for the price Is the
death Of the nerve, with paralysis as
the result. Such, In brief, Is the con.
clusion which DR.. Williams b. Cad
walader reports to the Journal OF the
American Medical association after ex-
periments made at the laboratory OF
neuropathology Of the University OF
Pennsylvania. The alcohol kills not
only the nerves Of sensation, but the
motor nerves as well. In nerve Like
the sciatic this would be serious. For
the nerve may remain paralyzed for
year after the injection Of the alcohol
In trifacial neuralgia, which Is caused
by q purely sensory nerve, this action
is Of little importance. The cure Is not
permanent however. but affords free
dom from pain for several months, per-

He Understood His Profession.

western university was lectur1ng to

whether every one In America could
own property. One fellow answered.
NO; criminal can't own property
But the professor said: Suppose
man owns Il ranch, gets into trouble
with his neighbor. assaults him and Is
put into the penltentiary. Does he still
own the ranch?"
The class was unanimous that he
did.
"If he did not continue to own It,

Cleaning the Milking Machine.

1t is not only important to keep ths
milking machine clean for sanitary rea
sons but also to provide conditions under
which it will do its best work. If any
of the parts are permitted to FIJI up &c
that milk will not flow through them
freely the efficiency of the machine II
impaired and may entirely prevent itt
working. Instances of this kind have
been called to our attention.
1t is a simple process to clean milk
ing machine If the proper method is fol
lowed. In the first place 1t must bt
recognized that milk dries very quickly
and when dry is difficult to remove. II
is good practice never to set away any
utensil which is used in the handling oI
milk without first rinsing it in colo
water, as cold water quickly removes the
milk if it is not permitted to dry upor
the utensil. Never use hot water fol
rinsing purposes as this will cause con
siderable portion of the milk to stick to
the utensil.
In cleaning the machine the teat cups
should be placed in cold water as soon as
the last cow is MIXED and continue
pumping water through them and the
other parts of the machine until the
water runs clear. After this is done the
machine may be put aside and easily
cleaned little later. 1t may be said
however, the sooner the process OF wash
ing is done the easier it will be as no
time is ever gained by pOstponing the
washing of milk utensils.
After rinsing the milking machine in
cold water it may then be put in hot
water with some good washing powder
and thoroughly washed using the special
brushes provided to clean the tubing and
various parts. When cleaned in this
water, thoroughly rinse them with boil
ing hot water and hang them in tank
filled with sterilizipg solution. This
solution may be made by adding salt to
water making a strong brine or by mix
ing one quart of fresh chloride of lime
solution to 80 gallons Of water or With
water and Bacli-Kil.' Washing powders
containing animal fats are liable to rot
out rubber, and should be avoided.
The teat cups and rubber tubing and
the parts that connect them may be left
in this sterilizing solution till they are
needed again for milking. A little sys-

To n AXE chloride of lime solution take
a two-gallon jar and put in it a pound of
fresh chloride of lime and then add gal
lon of water. Mix the water and lime
and allow the chloride of lime to settle.
The clear liquid above the settled lime is
used. A pint of fresh chloride must be
added every three or four days to the
sterilizing solution to keep up the
strength. Bacili Xii must also be added
every three or four days if this is used
for making the sterilizing solution.
About every three weeks an entirely
fresh solution is made, no matter which
one of these products is used. If brine
is made fresh salt must be add
ed every few days and an entirely fresh
solution made every week. - Hoard's
