SOME FAULTS IN DAIRIES
Conditions Which Ons City Milk In
spector Found to Exist on
Some Farms.
! A city milk inspector visited the
.farms supplying milk to his city and
found many improper conditions exist
ing. In his report given below can you
find any item which would condeouj
jjrour dairy:
1. Barns not sufficiently ventilated.
2. Surroundings not sanitary, espe
cially as to removal of manure, which 1
.usually found piled up against the barn
in a convenient place. This should not
.be allowed to accumulate, but should
jbe removed daily.
3. Stanchions should be better
drained, and no stagnant water or pigs
allowed, in the barn yard.
4. Milk houses not usually provided
with screens or cement floors. Flies
noticed fn milk.
5. Cow’s udders should be cleansed
j better. Some had an entirely wrong
~*1dea of cleanliness, both as to the cows
and as to the hands and the clothing
-*of the milkers. In one instance, a small
♦bucket of cold water and a thin, dirty
Rooking rag were used for all the cows.
By the time the udders of six cows were
washed off the water and waih rag were
not very clean.
6. In several dairies each milker
• would use several pails, and after All
ying once would leave it stand uncovered,
t,(Open to the flies and numerous sources
..of infection always present. At two
^places l found helpers straining milk
(through dirty cloths, in which a handful
*|of flies had found their last resting
place.
7. Cans not sterilized by boiling wa
iter or steam, but hastily washed with
■*lukewarm water, and set aside to dry,
funder roof, sometimes with cover on.
^This should not be done. It is impor
tant to sterilize them with boiling wa
ter or superheated steam every time
’they are used, then put upon a clean
♦ frame, upside down, with covers off,
and fully exposed to fresh air. Bottles
and other containers should be treated
] likewise.
8. Chickens allowed too many liber
ities about the place. It is impossible
to train a chicken, but the screens which
-are needed to keep out flies and other
!insects will keep them out.
9. Improper feeding. Some dairymen
^consider certain feed good which I do
jnot think is fit to use. I will report
t more fully upon this important subject
when 1 have concluded my investiga
tions.
10. At one farm I noticed dogs were
•sed for driving his cows. This I do
not believe good practice.
11. in one place I found a bad well.
The water was used for the cows and
* also for rinsing the cans. When ty
phoid fever is caused by the milk and
.^it has been traced to the milk in sev
■ eral epidemics, it is invariably due to
water used in rinsing the milk cans or
'‘other containers with infected water,
i This well was condemned.
12. Whitewash not much used in the
■barns. The above criticisms do not
•apply to most of the dairies. Some
were models of cleanliness; barn clean,
"fresh and well ventilated, stanchions
: properly kept and drained, milk house
■■clean as a good housekeeper's kitchen,
screens in nearly everywhere, and
cleanliness noticeable everywhere. The

it Out”
says many a doctor to his
lady patients, because he
doesn’t know of any medi
cine that will cure female
troubles except the sur
geon’s knife.
That such a medicine
exists, however,is proved by
thousands of cures made by

weak, sick women and rescued oth

GAVE UP SUPPORTER.
* ‘ I wore a supporter for four
years, to keep up my womb,”
writes Mrs. S. J. Chrisman, of
Mannsville, N. Y. “My doctor said
no medicine would help me. After
taking Cardui I gave up my sup
porter and am now well.”
fact that some* dairies were models of
cleanliness convinced tlie inspector that
it was not necessary to have the faults
mentioned in any of them.
Score One for the Motorist,
j We hold no brief for the motorist,
hut “honor where honor is due." On a
country road the other day we saw a
motorist deliberately avoid running
over an animal on the highway! To
be exact, it was a circus elephant.—
The Bystander.
Warning to Alcohol Drinkers.
The maximum amount of alcohol,
says Parkes, that a man can take
daily without injury to his health is
that contained in two ounces of
brandy, one-half pint of sherry, one
half pint of claret and one pint of
beer.
The Mark of the Strong.
The tendency to persevere, to per
sist in spite of hindrance, discour
agements and impossibilities—it is
this that in all things distinguishes
the strong soul from the weak.—
Thomas Carlyle.
A Soldier’s Life.
Compared with a few years ago, the
soldier’s life in barracks presents an
improvement that is calculated to turn
a Chelsea pensioner sour at his ill
luck in being born so early.—London

TIMELY FRUIT TOPICS.
In selecting varieties for family use
have a succession from early to late.
In this way you can have apples the
year round.
Never plant a peach tree over one
year from the bud hut goo<^ strong
healthy stock 4 to f> feet high with
clean bark and clean roots free from
root galls.
1 prefer to plant one-year-old apple
and pear trees when I can get strong
4 to 6 feet whips. Such trees have a
strong robust h tbit, a strong individu
ality and are che very cream of the
nursery.—Dr. .1. H. Funk, Berks Co.,
Pa. .

think it pays better than to feed them
out. to the cows. Boil and mix witn
the mas'll or throw a few raw ones
into each pen in the middle of the
day.
The winter peach blight which has
been serious for several years in parts
of California is caused by a fungus,
it attacks the buds in late winter and
earlv soring. Spraying with bordeaux
mixture four to six weeks before
.growths start in the spring is usually
effective.
The Puzzle Solved.
Some time ago a merchant in Mar
blehead, Mass., was discovered in his
store at a very late hour, and in reply
ing to inquiries, he said:
"My confidential clery is missing.”
“And what of it?”
“Why, I'm looking over the books,
but they seem to be all right.”
“Have you counted your cash?”
“Yes: and it is correct to a dollar.”
“Looked over your hank book?”
"I have, and it is satisfactory.
That's the puzzle, you see. He's
skipped, and I can't make out what
for."
“Been home since noon?”
“No.”
“Perhaps lie’s eloped with your
wife."
He hurried home, and found this to
be the case.
Use of Languages.
The most extensively spoken lan
gnage is Chinese, but as there are so
many dialects in the language and as
these differ so greatly in the confines
of Mongolia and Thibet from those
around Pekin, it is scarcely correct to
say that the 3S2,000,000 Celestials all
speak one language. Putting, there
fore, China aside, the most spoken
languages in the world are as fol
lows, in millions: English, 120; Ger
man, 70; Russian, GS; Spanish, 44;
Portuguese, 32.
A Female Othello.
An elegantly dressed lady in a hurry
made a sign to a cab. The driver
came up, but when he heard the ad
dress drove off at a canter, leaving the
lady stupefied with surprise. Asked
by a fellow cabman why he had re
fused to take her he replied: “Why,
she wanted to go to a house in my
street, and if my wife had seen her
she would have skinned me, she is
that jealous!”—II Mondo Umoristico.
To Engrave Eggshells.
Make the drawing of any figure or
design you please upon the egg, in
melted tallow or any thick oil. Then
immerse the egg in strong vinegar.
When the egg has remained for
some time in the vinegar it will be
found that the parts untouched by
the tallow have been eaten away,
leaving the design in relief.
In Dreamland.
A French barrister, whose client
had the misfortune to be found guilty,
appealed on the ground that during
the trial a juryman was asleep. The
court of Cassation has held that the
juryman, being asleep, was technical
ly not present during the hearing, and
has quashed the verdict and ordered
a new trial.
Woman’s Idea of Them,
“Here's a clever thing in oil,” said
she, at the art exhibition; “it's called
‘When the Cat's Away,’ but I don't see
the artist's name. I wonder who
painted it.” “Evidently a woman,” re
plied her escort; “see what a fero
cious expression she has given the
mice.”
Longest Span of Wire.
The longest span of wire in the
world is used for a telegraph in In
dia over the river Ristuah. It is
more than 6.000 feet, and is stretched
between two hills, 1,200 feet high.
Driver Paid for Fun.
A motor car driver in London the
other day charged and scattered like
chaff a whole troop of the Life Guards,
but paid eight dollars the next day in
the police court for his victory.
Good Cause for Worry.
Jones—"Old Griggsby looks wor
ried. I wonder what the trouble is?”
Smith—“His only son thinks he can
play the races, and his only daughter
thinks she can play the piano.
