PREVENT BACTERIA IN MILK
E2ot Way to Hinder Formation Is TO
Cooi Liquid as Soon as Possible
After Being Drawn.

Perhaps the best way to hinder the
formation Of bacteria in milk is to
cool it as quickly as possible in order
to remove the 'tanimal heatn after it
has been drawn from the udder. Then
heat it to temperature of 100 de-
grees or even to the boiling point,
after which it should be put into bot
ties, scaled tightly and set away in Il
place where the temperature is about
80 degrees. Leave it there till you are
ready TO use i.

RAISING CALF ON SKIM MILK
Young Animal Should Be Taught TO
Eat Grain Early-ln No Case
Feed 1t in Milk Ration.

The calf which is to be raised on
skim milk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to it, many of them will begin eating
at Two weeks of age or three at the
latest.
The grain should be placed in a box
where they can easily get at it, and
they can be encouraged at first by plac-
ing q little in their mouths after they
have consumed their milk. Grain can
best be fed dry after the milk is fed.

and 20 days of age. AS little child

From the first days of his sickness his
strength seemed to wane and all that

was Of no avail, for God had called and
he tried to make US understand he was
going to place where he could rest.
He leaves to mourn his loss mother,

Injured in Collision.
Darlington Democrat.

Darlington Democrat,
Monday evening about 6 O'Clock while
Thos. Kirwan and Chas. Teasdale were
sitting in freight caboose at Gratiot,
waiting for the train to move on to
Darlington, a crash came that nearly
ended their lives.
Their train was about ready to start
when an extra coming from the east
that intended to stop about one hun
dred yards behind them slid on the icy
rails in such an uncomfortable manner
that the air brakes proved Ineffective.
The train was moving between six and
eight miles an hour and the engine,
which was showed on from the heavy
load behind it, went crashing through
the frame work of the coach as though
it had been made of pasteboard.
1t rooted its way under the roof, in
stantly filling the car with volumes OF
hot smoke and poisonous gases. A car
of coal just ahead of the coach and be-
hind g long heavy train was driven
nearly to the center of the coach from
the other end while the passengers
were pinned in between.
Judge Simpson, who had stepped oil
the train a moment before and was ar
eye witness to the accident, knocked
panes of glass from several of the win
dows and called to the men inside. A
travelling man, much bewildered anC
nearly suffocated, finally crawled out
but gave no account of the Darlington
men. A brakeman trying to force hi:
way in was only successful on the
second attempt as the coach had ther
caught fire, adding more smoke to tina
emitted by the engine.
In the meantime Kirwan and Teas
dale had found their way to the cupol'
and through the little slide window
made their way out on top of the train
Mr.. Teasdale was about the next da.
and aside from some flesh wound
seems to have escaped very fortunate
~. Mr.. Kirwin, however, was not S
lucky and has been confined to hi
home, suffering from injuries abou
the back and head. He is attended dali
by physician.

Young Man Seriously Frozen.

Last Sunday morning in the face of 6
Iraging blizzard from the northwest
with the temperature considerably be
low zero, Roy Austin, a young man OF
this place left here for Dodgeville tc
bring the Sunday papers to this city.
1t is conceded by everyone to have
been by far the worst day of this in
tensely vigorous winter for drive, es-
pecially against the wind.
| When but little more than two miles
out Roy stopped at farm house and
beng alone was advised not to attempt
to go farther, but his grit and determi-
nation to proceed predominated. At
Page Woodbury's, four miles out and
half way to Dodgeville. he made an
other stop Here it was discovered
that his face was frost bitten. He was
invited to remain for dinner, but mo,
| thanks, must go on, was all he had
to say.
Roy finally got to Dodgeyile, but in
such semi-conscious condition that it
Fis mystery how he managed to pilot
the team. Both his feet were frozen
and one leg up toward the knee. both
hands, also his face, nose and fore
head, rendering him apparently more
dead than alive. He was rushed to
hospital at that place where the best
of treatment and care have been adj
ministered, still at this writing he re-
mains in pitiable condition.
Views concerning the unfortunate
case are expressed in various ways,
but we have only to say that to ven
ture out alone on such an extremely
wild and cold day was not the proper
to do.
The team was cared for at Dodge
vile over night.

Enjoyable Church Gathering.

A pleasant gathering of the mem

Tuesday evening.
A brief program of songs and adj
dresses was followed by season of So

contributed to delightful evening
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
The water supply of every com
munity should be frequently examined
in a laboratory to determine its fitness
for consumption. No water not first
analysed and approved should be ac-
cepted as municipal supply by any
city or town. These rules are suggest
ed for Wisconsin citizens by Dr. w. D.
Stovall, director of the state laboratory
Of hygiene. In a statement regarding
meteorological analysis of water he
points the way by which people in the
rural districts may know the character
of their water supply.

RUSSELL CURNow.
Tuesday evening about o'clock the
young spirit of Russell Curnow, aged
IL years, took its flight with but little
warning. Two weeks ago this little
fellow underwent an operation for APP
pendicitis. Not being of the robust
kind, cooperation was somewhat slow,
yet there were ample signs for hope of
final recovery up to within an hour of
his death. He was the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Curnow, Jr.,
whose loss and sorrow are ungaugable
by words.
Russell was a good boy -obedient,
kind-baarted. willing, ambitious in his
studies, and agreeable with his play
mates, hence the circles in which he
will be missed are many.
