The question of keeping a proper
record of attendance presents a much
simpler problem than the keeping OF
property accounts, but none the less
important. An ill-kept record Of at
tendance at drills is bound to have a
bad influence on the entire company
because the delinquent. often relying
upon faulty memory. is frequentl!
inclined to request substantial proof o1
his absences from drill when disciple
nary measures are invoked, and the
inability to produce such proof in q
convincing form has a demoralizing
effect.
The company maintains the regular
roll book in accordance with the in

dition to this record an improvised roll
book is made from an ordinary record

the stencil work Of this company has
been much more satisfactory by the

twofold evil will soon overwhelm him.
Every militia officer should realize

often fail under trying and unexpected

Of this paper to convey the impression
that the system of property accounts in
operation in this company is ideal, or
even merits special consideration. The
most that can be said is that the

Some Of the samples sent by dairy

have not been i'm good condition when
they arrived For this reason the de-
partmcnt desires to make the follow
ing suggestions:
The bottle should be filled full TO
the cork or stopper in order to pre-
vent the milk or cream from shaking
up and down and thus becoming
churued. Two or three drops Of for
malin should be added to the sample.
The bottle should then be shaken
thoroughly so that the formalin will
be distributed TO all parts Of tho milk
or cream. FOrmalin acts as a pre-
servative so that the sample will be
in good condition when it arrives
Samples should be tightly corked
