As milk Is the natural food for the
young, containing within itself all
the reguirements of the body, and
at any adulteration it Injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially; the young, depend to a
great extent upoq those who handle
the milk. And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow at
well as the milk after being drawn
?
from the cow. Every consumer
should visit the place from whence
he gets his milk (no matter if it it
turrounded by a high board fence)
and tee how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a

HIS BEAR CROP
A FAILURE
Bo kiUa, Muster, I
Bruin's Ingratitude.
" r GUESS ol" Bob Eklles wont never
I have do confidence in Van ag'in,'
said Sabin Budd, who snsres rattle
snakes with a leather strinfrand bunt
leer and bears with a tingle-barreled
Duzzle-lnadins shotgun. "And it
arves him right, eo It does."
Bob Skiles is fa mom in the neigh
borhood of Kettle Creek, Pa., as a
bear hunter and one who pretends to
use philosophical forethought as an
sid to his hunting. Thus, one day last
pring he dlcovred a family of bears
'n the woods along Polly's Bun. It
onsisted of a big and savage mother
hear and three cube. The cubs were
ut a few weeks old.
Skiles' first Impulse was to put a
ball through the old bear as she
'imbed toward him from her retreat
beneath t root of a fallen tree, am'
to earry tie cube home alive, but on
-eeond thought he resolved to spar
he family. He knew that the enbf
would pine for their mother and per
hap would not live under alien care
I'll just let the hull caboodle of 'em
lone," said Bob. "8lx months from
now" them eubt'll be In fine shape lo
rive me some fun In 'the wood, end
he ol' woman b'arll have nice new
oat o' fur on to her. I'll let 'em lire.
tnd reap the harvest o' my beiu' kind
o 'em along when snow begins to By
lext fall."
So he did what no other hunter In all
hat spread of water would have done
He ptied on and left the bear family
to itself.
About two, weeks before Thankurlv
nar he had tb satisfaction of knowlnr
hat the eu! had rrii to be more
:han bnlf a hlir s their mother, fst a
iir ready for the klllinc tnd wltl-
'nats of fur of the hlnekeet anH
rlrlet The mother was alo In
tuperb coat end finest ponditlon. They
were snugly boused tn Tamarack
jwsmp.
"Oueat I'D let 'em ptck op for
week or so more.1 said ha. "Then
they'll be ready for me to have fun
with."
A eouple 64 day later he saw the
lear family apnin The old bear tnd
two of the eu went Into the swamp
tnd the other cub started away on hit
i account, over toward an old wood
"oad. and down the road toward Bly's
steering
"That ain't reg!sr."taldBob. "That
b'ar ain't actio' square!"
So be followed the cub, which went
along at a lively rate, and turned into
the woods, at the further edge of
which Bly bad a tew sheep in a lot,
with long fence around it. Bob
SI lk hurried on. and came out of the
wood Into the lot just at the young
bear had cornered the sheep and bad
killed one.
That beln' the ease." said Bob, "I'll
have to have my fun with this young
:ub right now.
And he killed the cub and (rare ft to
Bly becaute H killed Bly's sheep.
A day or two afterward Bob had
an offer of good price for big
bearskin, and he went out to get the
mother of the family. He got on
her trail. The two young bears were
with her.
Bob followed her for an hour be
fore he got t shot, and the old bear
turned on him so fiercely that If
it
lad not been for his dog she mljr!
'lave got him Instead of his getting
er. but he got her. The two young
earr went up a big tree
"I'll leave 'em," said Bob. "Til
jure Thankairtvln hunt with em
nd have a lot more fun I'll get one
if 'em on that day and then 111
keep t'other one for Chrtstma
Vint They'll wait for me."
Id lesc than week after ' that,
though, some one from the county
'ent sent word to Bob that It . h
-oulr send over cotinte of bears
voting fat and juicy, right away, h
mile set nl own price for them, st
'lot concluded that he wouldn't keep
he two remaining members of th
amllj waltinc for him any longer
inc he starter? out bright and earl;
tr get them for the man at th
'onntj seat. - Sabin Budd tella the
rest.
