MAKE EQUIPMENT TO
CLEAN DAIRY PALS
Heating Apparatus Is One OF
Greatest ConvenienCes.
Low-Pressure Upright Boiler Is Desir-
able Where a Large Number Of
Cows Are Kept-cream Sepa-
rator Saves Labor.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
One of the greatest conveniences on
the farm where cows are kept is some
means Of heating an abundance OF
water for washing the milk vessels.
Where considerable number of cows
are kept, heating water by means OF
steam from a small, low-pressure up
right boiler is desirable, but on the
small farm stove with basin fitted
into the top Cor it may be separate
from the. top) can be purchased
cheaply, and will serve the purpose,
provided the water is properly heated.
Wster can be pumped from the well
directly into the basin. In order to
avoid heating the milk room and to
do away with smoke and ashes, the
water heater should be placed immedi-
ately outside the milk room and, If ele-
waited, the water from it can be run
into the washing vat.
Some equipment is necessary in
which to wash utensils used in han
ding milk. A vat Is very convenient.
One end of the vat can be used Tor
washing and the other for rinsing and
scalding.
Fiber brushes for washing milk
utensils should replace the common
dishrag, as they do better work and
are more easily kept clean.
On every farm where as many as
four or five cows are kept cream sep
arator is advisable, as it will reduce
the labor required in handling the
milk from cows more than any other
one thing.
A refrigerator or ice box is desirable
upon every farm where either a few
or many cows are kept if it is prac-
tica5le to secure ice for use in sum-
mer.

It was not until afteraI had advanced

stopped low to thus gain clearer vision

the Namur appeared only as a mere
shadow, without so much as light

we had swept past the previous after

the head became completely sub

I stood there, resisting the undertow
Juggling at my limbs and barely able
to retain my footing, intent upon my
purpose. Full strength had come back
to my muscles and my head was again
clear. With strong, silent strokes I
swan forward, directly breasting the
force of the incoming sea, yet making
fair progress. Some unconsidered cur
rent must have swept me to the right,
for, when the outlines Of the bark
again became dimly visible through

ment this was accomplished every
sense deserted me. and I lay there
motionless. totally unconscious.
I shall never know how long I re-
manned thus. Yet this time could not
have been great. AS though awaken
ing from sleep faint consciousness
returned. Then the sharp pain of my
wounds, accented by the sting Of salt
water, brought me swift realization Of
where I was and the circumstances
bringing me there. I had evidently
lost considerable blood, yet this had
already ceased to flow, and very
slight examination served to convince
me that the knife slashes were none
of them serious. My other injuries
were merely bruises to add to my dis
comfortable result of blows dealt me
by Sanchez and Cochose, aggravated
by the bearlike hug of the giant ne

cry that was far from being a dead
man; and, inspired by this knowledge,

No CLEAN Of light appeared In any
direction; no sound echoed across the
dark waste Of water. 1t was clearly
impossible for me to attempt any re-
turn to the wharf through the impene-
trable black curtain which shut me in.
What, then, could do? What might
/ still hope to accomplish? Those fell
lows had swept the sloop clean, and
had doubtless long ago scuttled it.
They would suddenly find themselves
leaderless, unguided. Would that suf-
flee to stop them? Would the discov-
cry of his body halt his followers and
send them rushing back to their boat,
eager to get safely away? This did
not seem likely. Estada knew of my
boarding the sloop from the wharf,
and would at once connect the fact of
my being ashore with the killing of
Sanchez. This would satisfy him
there was no further danger. Besides,
tkese were not men to flee in panic.
Surely not with that ruffian Estada yet
alive to lead them, and the knowledge
that fifty thousand pounds was yonder
in that unguarded house, with no one
to protect the treasure but two old
men asleep, and the women. The
women dorothy! What would be-
come of her? Into whose hands would
she fell in that foul division Of spoils?
Estada's? And I, afloat and helpless
in this boat, what could I do?

Every farm should have small
flock of sheep.
Turnips make a good and cheap fall
forage for hogs.
Ranginess in the young stock is a
highly desirable quality.
Rape is one of the common annual
pasture crops for hogs and sheep.
For feeding calves. no ration has

Sows running through filth and then
being sucked will often cause pigs to
scour.
Calves are always greedy, and for
this reason overlooking should be
avoided.
Owners of beef-breeding cows should
use every possible means to insure a
maximum number of calves.
The high price of wool and the de-
mand for mutton have caused farmers
to look with more favor on sheep.

WANTS S5OO,000
TO INVESTIGATE
Federal Trade Commission Wants That
Sum to Look Into High Cost of
Living-Bills Introduced.

WASHINGTON, Augi 13.-An APP
preparation of 100000 for investiga-
ton of the increased cost of living by
the federal trade commission was asked
of congress yesterday by Acting Chair
man Murdoch of the commission IN a
letter to Speaker Gillett. Funds for
the commission already authorized are
insufficient to conduct the proposed in
quiries, the letter said.
Chairman Murdoch, who also is a
member of the sub committee named
! by Atty. Gen. Palmer to submit recon-
mendations for, reducing living costs,
set forth in his letter that the commits
sion proposed to conduct further inves-
LEGATIONS as to the production, storage
and distribution of foodstuffs with the
aim of arriving at figures on the real
cost, wholesale and retail prices.
So far as known, the President has
not directed any additional investiga-
tions, but bills now are pending in the
house for inquiries into the sugar and
shoe industries.
| The communication reached the house
at the close of a day during which both
branches of congress gave much at
| tention to the cost of living problems
Appropriation of $4,000 was request

Glass, who asked that in authorizing
the appropriation clause be inserted

for boarding, profiteering or monopoliz
ing the production of foodstuffs, fuel o
clothing. Representative Goodykoont
, (Rep.) of West Virginia presented
| resolution to direct the judiciary com
mittee TO frame legislation to eliminate
, boarding and TO reduce the amount o
currency in circulation. Mr. Goody
