Various devices have been invented to get the cream out of a milk bottle and a Michigan man has contrived a way that involves a new bottle. In this new bottle there is a email open ing at about the spot where the bot New Style Milk Bottle. tom cream line is apt to be. Normally this opening ls plugged with a re movable pin. but when the cream is to be run off this pin is taken out and the cream allowed to flow through the hole. To do this, however, air must be admitted to the top of the buttle, so the plug is made with a sharp point which can be jabbed through the pasteboard seal .that is iu the top. lt is important to keep each plug wbh its particular bottle, for once the plug Is lost the bottle is of no use until another stopper can be found for IL PREVENTION OF ROPY MILK Caused by Certain Bacteria, One Type of Which ls Found in Dirty, Stagnant Water. A woman reader wishes help regard ing ropy milk, asking the cause and the cure. The milk is strained at night and the next morning the cream Is ropy and must be thrown away. It ls not always easy to trace the cause of ropy milk to Its source. Without going into any lengthy explanation, it may be said that ropy or slimy milk ls caused by certain bacteria. One type may be found in dirty, stagnant water. If the cows wade In this water their flanks and udders become the resting place for this type. The bacteria are easily transferred to.?the milk at milk ing time. The stable becomes infect ed, as it were, and also the utensils that come in contact with the milk. The germs lodge in the crevices of the utensils and readily propagate in the warm milk. The cure lies in absolute cleanliness. All utensils should tx thoroughly scalded. Lime is an ex cellent destroyer of all germ life. The utensils may be given a coating of the slaked lime, then washed in boiling water. It may be necessary to give the stable a thorough cleaning with lime used as whitewash. HANDY DEVICE IN THE BARN Lever Attached to End Used for Open ing and Closing Stanchions How lt ls Made. I have a handy device for opening and closing stanchions, says a writer in the Missouri Valley Farmer. When making it I took first a strip of one by four and bored one-half inch holes in it. These holes were as far apart as the stanchions were at the top. n The Lever Does lt. Then I bored holes the same ?.zo near the bottom of the swinging side of the stanchion. I bolted the strip to the stanchions, and at the end attached a lever bj' which the stanchions could easily be closed. The lock on the end of the stanchiojfts the only one now that need be closed, as the stri? keeps all the others closed. Effect of Feed on Milk. Some dairymen believe that if the I feed of their cows is changed it will have a bad effect upon the milk? i!ow,-| but repealed sciemiiic experiments show that chancing ircm ene feed to another, and frequently additions to the regular feed, helps the milk JIOV Money ir, Df.iryiny. There is money lu dairying in spite of a prevalent notion to the contrary, but it needs a combination of good cows and good management to get it out. THOUGHT HE GAVE THE SIGN ?ut Old Gentleman Naturally WES in dignant ac Mistake cf Drug Clerk. A well-dressed old man walked ir.tc a corser drug store the o?her day, mopped his brow with a handkerchief and took a seat at the soda fountain. Thc derk faced him expectantly. "I am very thirsty," he remarked as he drummed on the counter. "I don't know what I want. Well, I believe I will take a phosphate," he concluded, still drumming on the marble with his fingers. The clerk smiled, picked up a stein and went to the rear of the store. He came back, sot it in front of the old man and rang up 15 cents out of the ha4f dollar which was given him. The old man, without looking i:i the stein, thisstily raised it to hi3 lips and took a long draught Then he' quickly set the stein down, sput tered a moment and then exploded between his coughs. "What do you mean? I never took a drop of liquor, sir, iu my life. But I knew it, sir, the rotten stuff, when I smell it. ni not stand for it, sir. I called for a cherry phosphate. What do you mean, sir, by giving me whisky?" And tbs old man stopped for breath as he glared at tho amazed clerk. "Web, I-I er-I guess I made a mistake. I thought you wanted it for medicine," stammered the clerk. "Sir, I am a teetotaler. I wouldn't touch the stuff for love nor money." And the old man marched out indig nantly. "Well, for the love of Mike!" ex claimed the clerk to. a man at the counter who had been served a stein in the same way, but who made no kick. "That old duffer came in here and certainly gave me the correct high sign. And he drank nearly half of it, too." The clerk laughed as he looked into the stein.-Kansas City Journal. OBJECT TO THE CHICKEN'S Residents of Summer Place Allege That Their Early Morning Rest Is Disturbed. The dwellers' lu tho residential sec tion of Hastings-on-th'e-Iiudson have become much excited over discussions of the question. Is it proper and right to maintain a poultry farm on a vil lage plot? Since the days have length ened and the sun rises early and the windows are kept open wide all night, it is maintained by those on the negative side of the discussion, restful sleep is out of the question after 4 o'clock in the morning. A peti tion setting forth all the arguments from the moral, economic and social points of view against chicken raising inside of village limits has been cir culated, and bas the names of all who co not own chickens. One of the sign ers said the whole trouble was brought on the community by the in> portation of a bantam rooster. What this fellow lacks in size he makes up in volume and shrillness of voice and in the zeal with which he indulges his talent for crowing in the early hours of the day. He is keyed too high, and his owner should feed him chalk every night. TtiQ petition describes in detail the annoyance of being roused out of a sound sleep by a loud cock-a-doodle-doo and the horror of lying awake to listen for the next summons from the other roosters. One particularly loud-voiced Leghorn was found dead beside his coop a few days ago. It is said on of the neigh bors, at the risk of being shot, broke the rooster's neck. It took only a few days for the owner to get an other lusty-lunged bird, aud now there is some feeling! * Bitterness In an Epitaph. Mason and Dixon's line ls fast be coming a memory, but here and there are to be found evidences of the once bitter hatred which prevailed in the day3 of the Civil war. George W. Kerdolff, who before en tering the insurance business spent much time in the south, tells this story of an epitaph rudely carved on a block of sandstone yet to be seen In a Louisiana parish: When the slogan of the south was "On to Washington," and the youth of the Confederacy had shouldered their muskets for the front, leaving only the older folks and women and chil dren at homo, a hand of Union sol diers carno into Louisiana. Sighting the enemy, the aged men, assisted by the women, gathered together their scant supply of firearms and planned resistance. As the Federal forces came up a narrow lane, the southern ers opened fire with such deadly effect that the invaders retreated, leaving ono of their number dead upon the fiehl of battle. The victors buried the fallen foe, and over his grave, to this day, one may read the roughly chiseled epi taph: "Tho Yankee bands with bloody hands came southward to divide our lands. This lonely and deserted spot is all this-old Yankee got"-Kan sas City Journal. Too Fast. "I don't believe in^forcing schools for children," said Gov. Woodrow Wil son at a dinner in Trenton. "A child that knows at four as much as ordina rily it would know at eight, is, to ray mind, about as tasteful au object as Calhoun Clay's watch. '"That's a fine watch you've got there, Calhoun,' said a friend. 'Is it a good goer?* "'A good goer?' said Calhoun Clay. 'Well, you bet your life it's a- good goer.

Many Edgefield people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Weak kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and iii health-the slightest delay is dangerous. Use Doan's kidney pills, a remedy that has helped thousands of kidney sufferers.
