DAIRYNOITS

The milk crop is one which comes in every day.
 When possible, test the cows milk before buying her.
 Never buy a COW whose milk tests below three per cent.
 Stanchions are thing of the past. Cow ties are now in order.
 After the good COW is born there is lots of work in her making.
 The sooner dairy tools are washed after using the more easily they will be cleansed.
 Why not settle on dairy farming as a business? Then breed and feed and work for better breed.
 Don't use the milk pail for carrying feed to the pigs if you desire to be classed as a good dairyman.
 The grade bull calf will not pay for the cost of rasing if the dairyman can dispose of his products otherwise.
 There's as much in the man behind the COW as in the COW herself. Brains count everywhere in dairying.
 As a rule milk should not be used within 15 days before calving or dur ing the first five days after calving.
 You don't know much about your cows until you weigh their milk and test 1t with a Babcock tester. Keey records.

New Storaue Battery,

A dry storage battery of the same size and shape as the ordinary dry cell is an offering of an American manufac- turer. The new storage battery con- tains non-flowing electrolyte and, ac- cording to the statements of the man. ufacturer, can be recharged an indcfi- nite number of times at lower price per charge than the original cost of an ordinary dry cell. The rating of the battery is 0.5 ampere for 40 hours, one ampere for IS hours, amperes for eight hours, or three amperes for five hours. The average discharge potential is two volts. The contain CT of the battery is made of unhreak- able paperhber, while the elements are rolled strips of corrugated lead. The electrolyte is contained in an amorphous, ,non-crystallizing white sub- stance which is claimed to possess ex- exceptionally high absorbing power. A tube is provided in the center of the cell for carrying water in order to pre- vent the cell from drying out.-Scien- titic American.

New Ideas in Church Buildinq.

Perhaps the most striking innova- tion in church affairs is in building. The steeple, bell, and even cruciform ground plan are things of the past New ideas in construction dictate buildings that look exactly like other buildings, and that above all are planned to suit needs, and not planned to demonstrate ecclesiastical actions. One church in New York even pro- poses church inside of an apart ment house, like the duplex apart ments inside of big flat buildings. Not winter in years has brought in as many new ideas in church practice as this one, and leaders in Christian work in America are saying that more innovations are just ahead that are even more significant and that utility and up-to-dateness will characterize church management as never before.-- Western Christian Advocate.

finely decorative work of Byzantine chisel being in our day anywhere dis coverable. On the best of them a pair of peacocks. facing one another, are pecking at the contents of a bowl which is raised on a column between them. The rest of the space is filled with whorls of tendrils, and the whole Is framed within a border, adorned with series of those charming TO- settes within circles which decorated every Byzantine ady's ivory jewel casket of that time. As for the ambo, or pulpit, that was pulled to pieces at later date and set up again in an altered position and blundering fash ion, so that the parts are all wrongly arranged and many are missing.
 About the time when the ambo was being pulled to pieces the cathedral underwent further restoration. Its inlaid floor was then put down and mosaic pictures were affixed all over it's west wall and in some other places. But by that date the best age of Byzantine art was passed. and the west wall mosaics, though still highly interesting in spite of much radical restoration, are not very beautiful. Torcello had lost its importance and no longer could command the re- sources of more prosperous days.
 It was, however, at this time that the little church of Santa Fosca re- ceived the form which it still retains. Originally it was small three aisled basilica, with little apse at the end of each aisle. For what reason and by whom the church was rebuilt in it's present octagonal porticoed shape is not recorded. Nothing of the original church remains except two of the lit- tie apses. The rest is all built on rather an ambitious Byzantine model, and was evidently intended to be sur mounted by 8 dome.

C. P. Norgord, commissioner of agri culture of Wisconsin. speaking before the Guernsey Breeders association of Waukesha county, at Waukesha, set forth a hew plan whereby the tuber- culin test of cattle will not only be of greater value as an aid to science, but will be of increased commercial value and at the same time greater pro- lection to breeder, seller and buyer.
 Under the plan proposed by Con- missioner Norgord tuberculin-tested cattle will not only be given a rating above those not tested, but this rating will be interstate and will be main tained and backed by veterinary de- partments of all states. The plan al- ready has been indorsed by number of states.
 campaign of education will be conducted in furtherance of the plan, and cooperating with the Wisconsin be the College of Agriculture of Uni versity of Wisconsin, the United States department of agriculture, and the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders association and all county breeders organizations of Wisconsin.
 Under the new order of things the herds coming under the test and found free from tuberculosis will be certified as Glass A herds, and will be so listed in all states Therefore, it will be an inducement for the breeder to voluntarily acquire this certification as soon as possible.
 In setting forth his plan, Commis- sioner Norgord said:
 Tn an effort to simplify the inter- state inspection of cattle and to en- courage the use of the tuberculin test, the Wisconsin department of agricul- ture is hereby submitting a plan whereby it may be possible to make shipments from herds which are

eval town hall and the loggia where laws were proclaimed. That is all. A few fishing boats alone represent the fleet of merchant vessels that in the tenth century filled the great haven whereof Constantine Porphyrogenetos wrote: Moreover, the whole aspect of the place is one of abandonment. Grass grows in the streets. There is nothing going on. The only modern life is that brought by the visitors who come to see the dead city.
 Churches are Restorations.
 It follows that he who would taste the abiding and most rare charm of Torcello must not visit it in a crowd. He must come alone, or at most with one or two sympathetic companions, and he must have plenty of time to spare, for such visions as these can not be apprehended in few hurried moments. They do not strike nasty sciousness of one who yields himself entirely to their slow, insidious pene- tration. Neither the cathedral nor Santa Fosca are in fact nearly so old, in their preesnt condition. as they seem to be. One would willingly enough accept them as of early Chris tian date. for both the basilica and the round church are built on ancient lines and conform to early architec- tural forms The first cathedral on this spot was that built in mid-seventh century by Altinum refugees; possi- bly, one carved stone from that may survive. In S64 and again in 1908 the building was seriously dealt with, and the first restoration amounted to rebuilding. though, to some extent, on the old lines and preserving the orig final apse.
 In the year 1908 a further restora- tion was taken in hand, this time un- der strong Byzantine influence and

 among other cities. The folk of Altinum took refuge on an is- land in the lagoon and founded Tor cello. In the pressure of those miser- able days, when the German invaders almost succeeded in destroying the civilization which Greece and Rome had slowly built up during a thousand years of wise labor the lagoon islands harried peoples, who fled to them for shelter, as in our days so many dis tressed Belgians have fled to Holland and England, writes Sir Martin Conway in Country life. That was how Venice and Malamocco was the first of these cities of refuge. It was likewise for a long time the chief city of the lagoons; the first Doge whose name is remembered had his seat of government there.
 Venice, for all it's antiquity, throbs VAeh al iilc. lO SO HUH it to Torcello is to plunge into the past. The very transit by gondola matches also that transition. From the city of the living you float past the city of the dead and so over the wide lagoon to Burano. Then come devious channels among sand banks and low lying islands, inhabited, if at all, by malaria-stricken folk. At last Torcello rises before you with it's i'm posing group of churches and it's in- significant cluster of houses. There stands the cathedral with it's Ro- manesque campanile and near by the arcaded octagon of Santa Fosca Gone is all else of importance that once arose here in pride. A ruined bap- tistery can still be traced. The small piazza retains an unimposing medi-

DAIRY
 FACTS
LOCATION OF MILK IN A COW
Secretory Glands Take Raw Materials From the Blood and Manufacture
 Them Into Product

In the system of the dairy COW there are two kinds of glands: excretory glands and secretory glands. A good example of the excretory gland is the kidney. An excretory gland does not manufacture, but simply serves as vehicle for transferring waste from the body.
 The secretory glands are manufac- turers. They take the raw materials from the blood and manufacture them into a special product. The mammary gland, located in the upper part of the udder of the COW, is secretory gland. It takes the raw materials from the blood and manufactures milk.
 The large veins seen under the ab- domen of the COW do not contain milk, as great many people suppose. They contain impure blood. This blood isl returning to the heart. It has passed through the mammary gland of the COW, deposited the food material and absorbed the waste.
 As fast as the milk is manufactured from the blood, it is stored in the udder of the COW. The milk is being manufactured all the time that the COW is fed and cared for. She works day and night So far as known milk Is not manufactured any faster during milking than it is any other time, but the process of milk manufacture con- tinues, and is in proportion to the size and quality of the mammary gland, amount of blood and raw material supplied by the COW.

WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Cows Giving Milk Require Great Quan- titles of Water-As Essential
 as Feed in Winter.

Water is fully as important to the dairy cows as feed during the winter. They must have access to it so that they can drink all they want, wheth- CT they have it in automatic water basins. or in the yard tanks.
 Cows giving milk need great quan- titles of water. Careful experiments have proved that it requires more than five pounds of water for every pound of milk produced by the COW.
