Next day he should be fed on soft

Dairy Note.
That even the work of milking is cot
without danger is evidenced by the
case of a milker in New Zealand who
had his right eye put out by a switch
from the cow's tail. Probably if the
truth were 'known it would be found
that a great many accidents of this
kind, more or less serious have Op
curred. It would be well to have the
cow's tail fastened during milking, as
is now practiced by some. This is
also in the interest of cleanliness.
We believe that pasteurization of
skimmilk should be .generally prac
ticed, not only by the creameries and
cheese factories but on farms where
any considerable number of cows are
kept for the-' production of milk, un
less, in the last case, where the cows
are all tested; and are -known to be free
from tuberculosis. In the creameries
and cheese factories especially the pas
teurization Is advisable. It will not
only keep disease germs from being
carried to all Mthe-farms but will, have
a tendency to tkeep the cows of 'the
patrons from getting in an unsanitary
condition. If the pasteurized milk is
given back to the farmers when it
stands at a temperature of 185 degrees
it will destroy the germs of the fer
ments that may be accumulating in the
seams of the cans. If this is repeated
every other day, or every time the
patron brings milk to the factory, it
will aid very materially in keeping the
cans of the more careless patrons in a
good condition and will therefore as
sure a better supply of miik for the
use- of the man that is to turn it into.
butter or cheese.
Only men with cleanly instincts
should be permitted to have a part in
'drawing the milk from the cow or
.haadllpg it at any time. If dirty men
.are .to. be retained on the farm they
should be put to some work other than
that that directly affects the milk. We
hear about men that dip their fingers
into the milk when they want to moist
en the teats of the cow they are milk
ing. It has never seemed to the writer
that the facts as reported could be pos
sible, but the preponderance of testi
mony seems to be that there are such
dirty milkers. That being the case,
the dirty man must be recognized as
existing and he should be prevented
from contaminating the milk supply.
But he is not always easy to find. His
dirty tricks-are keptby-him ia-the
background as much as possible. He
must be run down. Perhaps the best
way to find him is for the cow owner
togive his milkers general instructions
against such methods. When the dirty
anm is the proprietor himself the case
becomes more difficult to handle, and
until something like the curd test for
oirt is adopted by the creameries and
cheese factories there is little chance
of finding him out It should not be
forsotten that the dirty man stands in
the way of the maker of both butter
and cheese.. The dirty man. can being
to naught the finest skill In the world,
If wc would build up from the founds

Vowa Before r Battle,
Some strange declaration's have been
made by soldiers on the eve of battle.
Rather curious was the vow registered
by a. French soldier who took part in
the Franco-German war in 1870-71. A
very dear comrade of his having been
killed in action, he swore an oath on
tbe eve of a certain battle that with
his own hands he would kill a dozen
Prussians, or, failing 'this, would per
ish by his own hand. Sure enough, he
kept his word most' faithfully for
when the tlme'-came.he shot 12 of the
enemy in succession, narrowly escap
ing with his own life after the ab
normal feat. During the, war between
north and south a Confederate officer
named Hudson vowed that If he came
uninjured' out of the campaign he
would marry the first woman' he met
on returning to htsnative town, 'pro
viding that she was 'single and willing
to accept him. The gallant but ec
centric officer was spared by shot and
shell to so great an extent that he
emerged unscathed from the war, but
the tow was never consummated, for
by a strange freak of fate the first
woman whom he 'encountered upon his'
rturn was his own sister, so that nat
urally nothing come of the extraordi
nary oath. In ancient days vows
upon the eve of battle were far more
common than is the case in modern
times. Before the battleof Cressy we
are informed that no fewer than six
archers, serving under the English
banner, registered solemn oaths that,
In the event of the battle going against
them, they would thrust their own ar
rows down their throats rather than
be taken prisoners by the French sol
diery. On the night before the world
famous battle of Alma a Cossack sol
dier vowed that if he were fortunate
enough to be spared during the fight
he would consume 10 gallons of ale at
one sitting, directly an opportunity
was afforded him of so doing. The
oath, however, proved a tragic one for
the Cossack, as his companions, argu
ing from the utterance of it that he
was possessed of considerable money,
fell upon him and stripped him of the
pouch containing all his worldly pos
sessions, and in the struggle to regain
his property he fell, stabbed to the
heart by a treacherous comrade. Most
readers of history will remember the
famous seven years' war, in which
Frederick the Great, of Prussia, played
so important a part. During the prog
ress of that memorable and prolonged
campaign a Bavarian corporal rejoicing
in the name of Keller swore an oath
that he would not cut his finger nails
until the war was over. The worthy
corporal's oath would doubtless have
been faithfully observed had not gos
sip concerning it come to the ears of
his commanding officer, who sent for
the man, reprimanded him severely
and ordered him to have his nails cut
in the ordinary course in accordance
with the laws of decency. Perhaps,
however, one of the most curious vows
ever uttered on a battlefield was the
oath' recorded by an Italian soldier
serving under the banner of Garibaldi.
He swore that in the' event of his is
suing from the campaign a sound man
he would at once abandon the' army
and take priestly orders. He kept his
word, for on the close of the campaign
he assumed the clerical robs and died
some six years later in an order of
sanctity having fought in the cause
of religion as .valiantly as he had bat
tled in the cause of freedom.
They All Saag.
An anonymous Union soldier tells
this stcry of the civil war. It occurred
during one of the Virginia campaigns.
Wounded men of both armies, and a
goodly' number who had fallen with
sunstroke, were in a church which for
the time was serving as a hospital.
Federals and Confederates were chat
ting together in the most friendly way.
The place was full oft the fragrance of
June roses which had been brought in
by the ladies. Suddenly there' was a
sound from the organ, a Confederate
officer was at' the bellows, and a Scotch
surgeon at the keyboard. He tried the
instrument, which' was af good one.and
then broke into a military march, to
the pleasure of those listening. The
stops were drawn, the music swelled,
and even the illest of the listeners was
trying "to beat time. It jwas' evident
the player was a Union man, and final
ly, with a grand crash of sound, 'he
gave out the opening bars of the "Star
Spangled' Banner.-" Then; 'with one
impulse,. Federal and' Confederate of
ficers' and soldiers.. .the wounded and
the dying, all joined in the chorus and
sang it to the end.. And then each
looked at the other, mute with the sur
prise of men whose hearts have been
taken by storm. "

aralry instructor at West Point, and
-entered the confederate army. In 1861
he was a lieutenant colonel; in July,
1862. he was made a brigadier general,

eraL At tbe battle 'of Winchester'be
had three horses 'shot under him.-and
was .dangerously wounded.- After the
war he remained in retirement for sev
eral years. In 1875 he delivered an ad
dress at' the celebration of the Blinker
Hill centennial which was one of the
earliest efforts of the leading men 'on
either. side to lay aside the irritating
memories of the "lost cause" and unite
the whole country in the 'bonds of na
tional union. -Gen. Lee was elected
governor of Virginia in 1885, and serv
ed until 1890, hen a constitutional
provision .prevented his., further re
election. President Cleveland sent him
to Havana in 1896 to fill the extremely
important office of consul general.
What be has done since that time is
a, matter of contemporary history.

,t. Reviewing the work of the jlold guns
in South Africa, the Engineer says:
"The more we test it the more satisfied
we become that -little real effect in pro
duced by a field gun at ranges over
6,000 yards. It is indeed conceivable
that if we could ignore moral effect
it might pa tojdnaw the enemy fire at
long ranges and thus, waste ammuni
tion previous to a fierce attack at real
fighting ranges. Experience, we be
lieve, however, 'teaches that- this can
not be done without serious moral loss.
The impression is produced that our
guns are inferior to those of the enemy,
that they can fire on us when we cau
not reply and confidence in our own
fire 'Is destroyed'. Confidence is, after
all, the principal thing. Marmont used
to say that a battle was won not by the
number of men '.killed, but by (he num
ber of men frightened, and it has been
laid down that.some troops are stopped
by a loss of 10 per cent, some 20. and
all by about 30 per cent." There are
exceptions to this rule, as experience
shows.

How tha Earl Wae' Killed.
It is curious to note that the earl of
Airlie met his death, not by a stray
or chance bullet, but by a shower .of
lead sent at him through the reflection
of the sun's rays on to his field glass,
having practically heliographed to the
enemy's sharpshooters the position of
a British officer 'of some condition. It
was said at .the time that Sir George
Colley lost his life, on, the crest of Ma
juba hill in the same way and that the
bullet which kilied him drove some of
the 'glass into the fatal wound: It Is
notorious that since the .British officers,
whom the Boer sharpshooters have
special instructions to pick off, have
dressed themselves down as far as pos
sible to the appearance of ordinary
soldiers the enemy have kept their eyes
open for men using field glasses and
have, already secured numerous victims
in this way. .

England'" Annual Farce.
In the British Naval and Military
Record It ts stated that it is becoming
an interesting problem as to how long
the annual farce of voting battleships
which can never be laid down is to
continue. Each year the first lord of
the admiralty presents to parliament a
ship building program which he sol
emnly treats as though it were likely
to be realized. He estimates the cost of
the operations and the house of com
mons votes the money, which will not
in any case be spent in the way di
rected. Although money may be voted
for shipbuilding, it by no means fol
lows that it will be expended on con
struction. Concerning 'Woaaded Soldiers.
What is the future of wounded men
after they have been brought to the
hospital? Out of 100 men fifteen die
in hospital or on the way home. Twenty-six
are permanently disabled, and,
coming home, are discharged from the
army. But the other, fifty-nine recover
sooner or. later, some being discharged
almost at once. And, curiously, these
recovered wounded men form the best
fighting element of the army, for they
learn, by experience, that being
wounded is not such a bad thing as it
is generally supposed.

BsHrgawilaaa ea Wheat Grawara.
The alaaost unparalleled destruction
ot the wheat crop of 1900, throughout
Ohio, Iadiaaa and Michigaa. is gener
ally ascribed chiefly to the Hesslaa fly,
aad undoubtedly this insect has caused
Kuch leas, not only by destruc
tion outright of many plants in the
fall, but by so weakening, the vitality
of others that they succumbed to
weather conditions which- they would
otherwise have been able to resist But
behind these causes there lies another
which must aot be lost sight of, name
ly, the exhaustion of soil fertility. The
Importance of this factor is shown in
the experiments of the Ohio Station, in
which wheat on 'new land has, this
year, yielded nearly 40 bushels to the
acre, without fertilizers, whereas un
fertilized wheat on land that has been,
for 60 or 70 years, under such cultiva
tion as Is. practiced on a large propor
tion of Ohio farms, was almost total
ly destroyed by fly and weather condi
tions combined, the number of plants
attacked by the fly being in both cases
approximately th same.
Where the sowing of wheat has been
delayed uatil after the middle of Sep
tember in the extreme northern part
of the state; to the 20th and 25th In
the latitude of this station; to the last
week in the month in that of Colum
bus, and to the first week ia October
farther south, .the results have been
generally more favorable than where
the seeding was done earlier; but these
dates were not sufllciently late to
escape the fly last'fall. owing probably
in part to peculiar seasonal conditions.
When the seeding" is delayed beyond
the dates mentioned the loss from the
plant not haying time to sufficiently
prepare for the' winter will probably
be greater than the average loss from
the fly.
Even at these dates, in ordinary sea
eons, there will be need to see that the
land 'is thoroughly prepared and well
fertilized if remunerative yields are to
be obtained.
Late sowing, however, while in some
measure a-protection from the fall at
tack of the fly, will have no effect on
the spring attack unless universally
practiced in a given district; for if
one farmer in a. township sows his
wheat in time to invite the fall attack
he will have provided a breeding place
from which flies will swarm the follow
ing spring to destroy the crops ot all
his neighbors. It would seem, there
fore, to be well worth while for farm
ers to take united action in this matter
by banding together over large dis
tricts and agreeing to delay their
wheat seeding until the dates - sug
gested. Such a test, if properly car
ried out, would be of incalculable value
in 'determining the actual value of this
method of securing immunity from the
fly
If, in connection with a general post
ponement of the date of seeding, each
farmer would sow a small strip of
wheat at an earlier date, this to be
plowed under with a jointer a few days
before the general seeding and then
resown, it might have a very useful
effect in attracting the flies and caus
ing them to deposit their eggs where
they could be easily destroyed.
Many farmers are writing to the Ex
periment Station, asking whether it is
advisable to sow rye instead of wheat
this fall. To this we have to reply that
rye is also subject to attack from the
Hessian fly, while the statistics of crop
production in Ohio show that the aver
age yield of rye is no greater than that
of wheat and the market statistics
show that its average value per bushel
is much below that of wheat
Our advice therefore is, in brief: Put
the seed bed for wheat in the best pos
sible condition by plowing early, thor
oughly pulverizing the surface immedi
ately to retain moisture, and manur
ing or fertilizing liberally; then delay
the seeding to a comparatively late
dateand use a liberal quantity of seed.
The recent experiments of this station
show that two bushels of thoroughly
cleaned seed is not too much for an
acre of ordinary land. Chas. E.
Thome, Director Ohio Experiment Sta
tion. Teeth Age Marks la Cattle.
Nowadays, when early maturity Is
being so much cultivated in the case
of all breeds of stock, the dentition
of farm animals shows' much more
variation than was usual in the old
days, when animals were not forced
to a finish at anything like the high
rate of pressure which has of late
years been indulged in. One of the
consequences of this high-pressure
system of feeding has been that the
leading English show-promoting bod
ies, such as the Smithfield club, the
Royal and other agricultural societies,
have found it necessary to lay down
special rules for the determination of
the ages of such animals as are exhib
ited at their shows. TLa Royal Dub
lin society, in common with the other
leading agricultural bodies, has found
it necessary to adopt certain regula
tions in this direction. The rules for
cattle follow:
Cattle having their central perma
nent incisors cut will be considered as
exceeding one year and six months.
Cattle having their central perma
nent incisors fully up will be consid
ered as exceeding one year and nine
months.
Cattle having their second pair of
permanent incisors fully up will be
considered as exceeding two years and
three months.
Cattle having their third pair of in
cisors cut will be considered as ex
ceeding two years and eight months.
Cattle having their fourth pair (cor
ner) permanent incisors f::lly yp, and
their anterior- molars showing signs
of wear, will" be considered as exceed
ing three years.
Keep the Creamery Clean.
A Canadian dairy instructor' says:
I am sorry to say that the creameries
of Canada arc not being improved as
much as they should be. particularly
in the way of equipment and sanita
tion, or in providing suitable store
rooms which can be held at a low tem
perature for storing the. butter in. A
great number of the summer creameries-are
being run on the cream gather
ing system. This necessitates an
abundant supply of 'cold water which
is oftentimes allowed to run over the
floor, or in open gutters, and has a
tendency to keep the room damp and
prevent the churn and butter-worker
from becoming dry, and the result is
that they soon become foul smelling.
The remedy for this is to conduct the
water away in pipes, and also attach a
hose and a steampipe. After the
churn is thoroughly washed, close tbe
lid and insert the end ot the hose in
the buttermilk outlet, and then steam
thoroughly for twenty minutes. The
intense heat will destroy all germ
life, aad leave the churn dry aad
clean." This is also an excellent de
vice for steaming the butter worker
and utensils, and also the cans or
tanks used in drawing the cream.
Alfalfa Is one of tbe hardiest of the
clover failly. It was known to the
Greeks and Boaans 2.200 years ago.

Of all the diseases known with' which the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is ap
plied, the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkliam, early in her career, gave ex
haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har
mony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney troubles. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the only one especially prepared for nomen.
The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is :
