Makinu Excuses.

He is only Il bum. He has been a
member of the dOwn-and-out club for
years. He began by making excuses.
And he is making excuses still for his
parasitism on society. If the world
had given him a chance as it has given
other men, he Declares he would have
accomplished things. But the world
has never given him a chance, and he
sees no prospect now for a future of
any consequence. This excuse he of.
fers, despite the fact that the country
is calling for men and women as never
before in it's history.
Few men appreciate the harm that
comes to their careers from making
excuses. They are wont to attribute
their failure to hard luck. Luck at
times breaks against men and their
undertakings. But if those who have
failed will look back honestly into
their careers, they will see that they
themselves are to blame for their fail
ures. The excuses they offer are mere
Salves to their own egOtism and lack
of perseverance.

Ideal Site for Dairy.

, Whenever possible the COW stable
should be on high ground with good
natural drainage. Poultry houses, hog
sheds, manure piles or surroundings
which pollute the stable air and fur
nish breeding places for flies should
not be near the COW stable. The SilO
may be connected with the stable by q
feed room, but it should be shut off by
a tight door. This is convenient and
also prevents silage OdOrs in the sta
BILE except at feeding time. After the
silage has been fed, the stable can be
thoroughly aired before the next milk
ing period.
An ideal site for a barnyard Is a
south slope which drains away from
the stable. If the barnyard is inclined
to be muddy, it should be improved
by drainage and by the use of cinders
or gravel. A clean yard is a grcar
help in keeping the cows from becom-
ing dirty with mud and manure.

Pure Air for Pure Milk.

Every COW stable should have a
system of ventilation to keep the air
fresh and pure and the cows COM
Portable without exposing them to in
furious drafts. Bad OdorS in the
stable indicate that the ventilation is
deficient. At least 500 cubic feet Of
air space should be provided for each
COW. Farmers who desire to provide
proper ventilation in COW stables can
obtain information on this point by
applying to the dairy division of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.

CLEAN MILK IS
MOST DESIRABLE
Various Methods of Milking
Should Stand Eye Test of
Customers.
KEEP OUT HARMFUL BACTERIA
Ordinary common-Sense Rulea Of
Cleanliness viii Do Much to Pre-
vent Contamination - Clean
Stable Before Milking.

Suppose, MIR. Dairyman, your Gus
toners should step into your dairy
barn unannounced at milking time
would you be likely to lose some Of them
as n result of things they saw?
Would they see cleanly dressed milk
ers in q clean barn, milking from
clean cows into clean pals? Or would
they see another picture which need
not be drawn but which is all too COM
mon, even in these days of improved
dairy methOds--a picture whose re-
Election is the layer of sediment which
the consumer will see If he holds up a
bottle of milk from such dairy and
looks at the bottom of it?
Keep Out the Germs.
Ordinary common-sense rules Of
cleanliness at milking time will do
much to prevent contamination Of
milk by the easiest ways. Unless
considerable care is taken, large num-
berS of bacteria may find their way
into the milk during the process of
milking. Cows should be MIXED in
clean, well-lighted stables. BY taking
great pains 1t may be possible to pro-
duce good milk in a dark or dirty
stable, but it is extremely improbable
that the average dairyman will obtain
a desirable product under such con-
ditiOns.
Grooming and feeding the cows, as
well as cleaning the stable and remov-
ing the manure, should not be done
just before milking, as these opera
tions I'll the air with odors, dust, and

the udders, fIanks and bellies Of the
cows should be carefully wiped with
damp cloth to remove any dust or
loose hairs which might fall into the
pail. In some dairies where milk con-
tanning an exceptionally small number
of bacteria is produced, the cows I'D
ders are washed twice in clean water
and then wiped with clean cloth.

Poison Stocks Ely Enemies.

BY poisoning with arsenic the car
casses Of large animals which cannot
be promptly burned or buried, large
numbers Of flies which are capable Of
serious injury to meat-produclng ami
mails can be killed. Dead carcasses
should be partly skinned, the flesh
slaShcd, and solution of one pound
Of white arsenic boiled in five gallons
Of water should be applied freely.
After a few days the carcass may be
turned over and the other side treated
similarly. After it has thus served as
poisoner, the carcass should be
burned or buried.

only with dry hands. The practice of
wetting the hands with milk Is filthy
one and in the winter is likely to
cause the teats to chap. Milking
should be done quickly and thoroughly
with no violent jerking of the teats.
After each cows milk is drawn 1t
should be removed Immediately to the
milk house..
The mixer should remember always
that he is handling a human food
which is very easily contaminated.
Soap, clean water, and towels must
be readily accessible and the hands
should be washed after milking each
COW; this is commonly done on many
first-class dairy farms. The use of a
clean milking stool will do much to
prevent soiling the hands.

In modern dairies where clean

presents only a small opening
into which dust and dirt may

cows body. It has been found
by experience that the use of a

the number of bacteria in milk

Fifteen Thousand Borrowed to Erect Church is to be Returned. Says

Rev. P. J. Higgins, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church, announced yesterday that the $15,000, borrowed several years ago to be used in erect ing new church. will be returned to the company which made the loan. His statement follows:
 The $15,000 which was borrowed during the administration of Mon signor Enright for the erection of the, new St. Joseph's Catholic church and now on deposit in the Merchants, & Planters bank will be returned to the Thos. Mcdonald company of Chi cago within a month. The mortgage will be released and the property at St. Joscph's Catholic church will re- vert automatically from the trustees of St. Joseph's Catholic church to Bishop Morris, the original owner. The congregation has been losing $225 every year on this borrowed money. and as there is still indecisiOn with regard to building there is no reason for retaining it. The reason for talk ing this action, however, is to assure the pastor freedom of action in the administration of church affairs to avoid the possibility of a stampede to his activities and to call to non- existence the trustees as legal body. l am perfectly within the law both civil and ecclesiastical in taking this action and since I am, no civil law can inhibit it's execution and no ec-
