DETECTION OF D?RT IN MILK Sediment Test Shows Dairyman De gree of Cleanliness of Milk Covered Pail ls Favored. The sediment test is the best meth od of detecting dirt in milk. This test should be used wherever milk is sold. It shows tlie dairyman the de gree of cleanliness of his milk. In order tha,i a.s little dirt as pos sible may adhere to the cows, clip their udders, flanks and tails. All Pail Keeps Out Dirt. loose dust can be easily brushed off with the hands before milking. Do not allow anyone to milk wet, as this is a filthy practice. : The cows keep unsoiled on grass in a night pasture, while if they are kept in a dry barnyard the loose; ry manure will stick to their udders and bodies and drop into the pail. If kept lin the barnyard in rainy weather it is almost impossible to milk them with out first washing their udders. A covered pail closed about two thirds with a hood, will keep .out at least 75 per cent of the dirt. These pails are just ae convenient to use as the ordinary enes, and cost little more. A strainer will not take out the fine sediment in milk, but is useful for taking out hair and other large for eign stuff and is good for detecting the dirty milker. One farmer uses a strainer made from an ordinary 14 ^ quart tin dishpan. A five-inch hole is cut in the center of the bottom. A ring two inches wide and of the same I diameter as the hole is soldered on, I over which another rings slips to hold the strainer cloth. Huck toweling makes a very good strainer cloth. Such a strainer covers a factory can, Good Type of Covered Pall. preventing the milk from becoming exposed every time the can la opened. All cans and utensils are washed and scalded every time used, and giv en their daily sun bath to keep them sweet. FEW PRACTICAL DAIRY HINTS Pure Food Laws Won't Worry If Only Clean, Wholesome Producta Aro Sent to the Markets. When counting the by-products of the dairy, do not forget the skim milk allowed to clabber, of which the de licious Dutch or cottage cheese is made. When not all is needed on the home table, it can readily be disposed -of at good prices. Send out only clean, wholesome food products, then the pure food laws will have no worry for you. Don't feed lice, get rid of them. If the stock has been cleanly kept, there will be no lice to get rid of. Very seldom is a cow or calf lousy when in good condition. Keep their stalls and premises clean, give wholesome feed and enough of lt, and the cows will not raise lice. A little corn or bran will not hurt the cows and will save many steps of getting up the cows to milk. Dont forget the salt at the regular time. Grass requires more salt than did the dry feed of winter. Feed the calves enough to have them do welL Allow them the run of a grassy, shaded lot, and unless sup plied naturally with water, be sure to keep some before them. Too rich teed may give the young calf Indigestion. Guard against this, as after once becoming out of fix, it is much harder to regulate. Keep them well and kuep them growing. This is true of aU young stock, the only way to make a profit of lt is to keep it growing. Ration for Dalry Cows. The average grain ration for dalry cows should contain at least one pound of cottonseed meal, as feeding this material results in a firmer fat and harder butter. The greasy ap pearance in the butter is caused, by the softness of the fat globules, and tho addition of the cottonseed meal will remedy this matter. V/ater for Calves. Set a pail of water into the corner of your calves' pen. You will find they will drink when not more than two T/C^KS old. They often get very thirsty during the long, hot days of .summer. SPECIFIC ACTION OF GERMS Results of Sme Interesting Experi ments That Were Made by Fa mous New York Physician. In a lecture before the New York Academy of Medicine, Doctor Rose now gave an interesting and convinc ing account of his experiments with germs taken from diseased organs in various parts of the body. He showed that bacteria taken from ulcers of the stomach, appendices, infected gall bladders and rheumatic joints, when injected into animals in the majority of instances caused infection and in flammation in jthe localities corre sponding to those from which they had been taken. For example: Out of 59 animals injected with the germs taken from cases of appendicitis, 41 developed appendicitis. Out of 79 ani mals injected with the germs from ulcer of the stomach, 50 developed ulcer of the stomach, 47 showed lem orrhage. Out of 27 animals injected with germs from inflamed gallbladders 22 developed gallbladder affection. Out of 71 animals injected with germs de rived from cases of rheumatism, 47 developed joint affections, 33 devel oped inflammation of the lining of the heart, a frequent complication of rheu matism, 33 developed myocarditis, in flammation of the heart muscle, and 19 developed pericarditis, inflamma tion of the membrane surrounding the heart, 28 kidney affections, 19 peri tonitis. DEFENSE OF THE FAIRY TALE Writer Points Out Its Importance In the Scheme of Education of . the Child. Ignorance of fairyland Is the pun ishment of intellectual vanity-the vanity of the average pedagogue, who has forgotten that education means leading forth and not stuffing in. It is the vanity of the physiologist who, forgetting that the germ-plasm is a faculty of influence and enter prise, not an arrangement of mole cules, thinks to create it in a test tube. It is the vanity of the eugenist who believes he will improve upon those ancient ways of life which, for a few ages before Mendel and Weissmann, managed, all untutored, to evolve a reverent man, something more mar velous than these modern acad?mie things who seem so ignorant of their native virtues. To the fairy tale wo must often look, if we are to mend our ways with the child and lead him forth to find that mighty world, that true self, which is the idea of him laid up in the heart of God.-New York Tele gram. Dally Housework Outline. An outline of a system of house work was the request made not long ago by a bride-to-be, who wished some directions published for her guidance in housekeeping. The variation in the needs of different households makes a universal rule Impracticable, as was suggested to the inquirer at the time; but she may find some help in a daily outline given by Miss Par loa, a noted authority on household matters. Miss Parloa says: "Make the Ares, air the dining room and hall. Prepare th? breakfast and set the table. Air the bedrooms while the family is at breakfast. Remove the breakfast dishes; put away the food. Sort the dishes and put to soak all dishes and utensils that have had food in them which is liable to stick. Put dining room and sitting room in order, airing them well. Wash dishes, put kitchen and pantries in order. Prepare dishes that require slow cooking and put them to cook. Make beds and put sleeping rooms and bath room in order. Trim lamps. Dust halls and stairs; sweep piazzas." A Gem ir Its Way. This, slightly deleted, is from the erstwhile sedate Outlook, which was wont to fnrvn upon levity as severely as the rest of us do on the deadly upas tree of the tropics or the equally dead Bingletree of the more temperate zones: "You can get relief from bunions by walking pigeon-toed. A bad case of pigeon-toes can be cured by walking bow-legged. The remedy for chronic bow-legs ls to walk knock-kneed. Should knock-knees bring pigeon-toes again, one can, of course, always es cape back to bunions." Painting Walla. Before paint or calcimine is applied to walls every crevice should be filled with plaster or cement To the calci mine put one-quarter pound white glue in cold water overnight and heat grad ually in the morning until dissolved. Mix eight pounds of whiting with hot water; add the dissolved glue and stir together, adding warm water until the consistency of thick cream. Use a calcimine brush and finish as you go along. If skim milk be used instead of water the glue may be omitted. One Way to Make a Friend. There are several kinds of hypocrisy, but the one that masculinity most fa vors ls spurious devilishness. Nothing brings the beam of contentment so fervently to the mediocre eye as a Don Juan accusation. Dig him in the ribs and wink as you call him a sly dog and he loves you. He may be the quintessence of domestic respectabil ity, but if you will but insist that you believe kim capable of maintaining a seraglio with consummate deceit, you are his friend. ANONYMOUS. Bullerton's father said: "It doesn't matter whether it's time for it now or not. He wants it now and he's go ing to keep on asking for it until he gets it. You might as well give it to him.' So Bullerton got it. One of Bullerton's earliest friends relates the following anecdote. Buller ton's father and mother were visiting his father and mother and Bullerton was along. At dinner Bullerton held up his plate and requested a second helping of pie. "Why, Harvey!" exclaimed his mother. "You shouldn't ask for things. That's very naughty and im polite." "They wouldn't know I wanted it if I didn't ask," said Bullerton. That, Bullerton's boyhood friend said, was perfectly true, especially considering the size of the first help ing and the extent of the meat courses that he had previously consumed. It was a more commendable appli cation of the principle when on leav ing school he asked the president of the local bank for a position as as sistant cashier. It ls probable that he would have got the position if he could have demonstrated his fitness for it. Failing to do so, he asked for a Job as office boy-and he got that. Inside of two weeks it occurred to him that three dollars a week was an | insufficient wage. . He asked for five dollars and there again he proved the soundness of his policy. They gave him 13.50 and promised him four dol lars at the end of the month if he could show that he was worth it. But they got tired of being asked for raises after a while and let him go. Then Bullerton went to the city and disappeared As the years passed it became generally understood around the little town through the medium of his parents that Bullerton was doing well-getting on. When he came back one summer on a visit his appearance seemed to bear out the report. He certainly looked prosperous. One of the envious fel lows of the town said that Bullerton must have asked a tailor for credit and got it; but no one paid any atten tion to that slur on a rising young man. When Bullerton had been home a week there was a meeting of the town council, at which he appeared and, on the part of the Bellevu? Construction, Investment and Improvement company of New Jersey, asked for a franchise for an electric street railway. No body knew who or what the company was. Nobody seemed to care. The bank president who had given Buller ton his start in life was then presi dent of the council. He was perfect ly satisfied with Bullerton's vague as surance that the company was com posed of men of unimpeachable finan cial standing, whose names Bullerton was not at liberty to mention,* so the rest of the council were satisfied, too, and gave Bullerton what he asked for. Then Bullerton asked for desk room in the bank. He asked for options on property along the proposed lines of the railroad. He asked for the assist ance of the editor of the local paper. He got them all. Soon he left for the city, having first disposed of his options at a ridiculous sacrifice to business men Of the town who, with the assistance of the local paper, awoke to the almost assured fact that the town was on the eve of a great boom. Then the news came that the Bellevue Construction, Investment and Improvement com had sold its franchise to a great capitalist and prices of real estate went up. Shortly after that the cap italist visited the town and seemed somewhat disappointed. The railway is not built yet. It would have been no surprise to the town after that to learn that Bul lerton had married the daughter of a millionaire or had been appointed am bassador to Great Britain. The old people died in course of time, so there was no longer any news of him. Finally one of the citizens of the town who had occasion to visit the city resolved to look him up. He did so-in financial circles more particu larly. Strange to say, Bullerton seemed to be unknown. His name did not even appear in the city directory, so the citizen naturally concluded that his old townsman had sought a larger field for his activities. He was on his way to the railway station to take the train home when a man in shabby clothes and with a week's growth of beard touched his arm. "Pardon me," said this man. "You are a stranger to me and it may seem a liberty that I take, but I find myself in a pecuniary embarrassment and if you could favor me with the loan of 25 cents I should appreciate it." There was something familiar in the voice. The citizen, looking more closely atf the man, recognized Buller ton. He said he was never more sur prised in his life. But, after all, cheek is not everything. Supposed lt Had Settled. "We think," wrote the manufac turers of printing machinery, "that it is about time you were paying some thing on the press you bought of us. It is now almost a year since you| got it." "I wasn't aware that I owed you anything," answered the owner of the Strlngtswn Bazoo. "You told me ?when I ordered the press that it would pay for itself ia six months." TRIMMINGS IN FAVOR FUR COLLARS AND CUFFS ON THE FLIMSIEST FROCKS. Chiffon Voile OP Cloth Has Attained Great Popularity- Description of One of the iViost Effective of Latest Designs. Thin gowns carry little adornment in the way ot white at the neck. Near ly all of them fasten straight up to the neck after the manner ot the coats, or have a single flaring collar of white organdie tnat goes out sharply from the neckband and reaches to the tips or the ears. Fur is used for collars and cuffs,, even on the flimsiest of frocks, and it is arranged to turn down when there is a nigh coat collar with which to reckon. Chilton voile or cloth is made up into morning gowns to wear under any Kind of warm coat as a substitute for the regulation coat suit. The wearing quality of this weave of chiffon has been satisfactorily proved, and women like it as well, if not better, than serge. It is lavishly trimmed with ribbon, usually of velvet, although the ribbed silk ribbons are effective. Rows of it are placed around the skirt, as a belt, cuffs, and sometimes as a plaiting placed below the hem. One of the most effective of these chiffon frocks for afternoon wear which will be copied here in many col ors with different fur is moleskin chif fon with a gathered skirt flowing into soft fullness at the ankles and run with vertical graded bands of mole skin. The points reach toward the waist, but end about six inches below it. The blouse has collar and cuffs of the same fur, and there ls a girdle of moleskin velvet In all these gowns the sleeves are long. There is no experimenting with the length, but a vast variety of ex periments are made with the shape and the trimming. Paquin features sleeves and produces a dozen or more good ideas. The modified leg-o'-mut ton is universally used. The length of the cuff depends on the whim of. the dressmaker. I FOR RHEUMATISM. As soon a9 an attack of Rheuma tism begins apply Sloan's Liniment.
