elusive, 127 patents were taken out in
this country alone for milking ma
chines or separate parts of them.
Most of these have failed in some re
spect, and not until recently has any
One of them gone into extended use.
The prospect of their general intro
duction led to the experiments de
Scribed in this report. Two different
types of machines are shown in the
Illustrations, one worked by foot pow
er, the other by an electric or other
motor. The report shows that the
machines have the advantage in more
than one respect over hand milking.
Says Mr. Lane:
"Naturally one of the first questions
asked when a dairyman is considering
the Installation of milking machines is,
How much time will be saved by their
Use? A glance at the general averages
for thirty days shows that the average
time required for one man to milk four
cows with the machine was 13.02 min
utes In the morning and 13.57 minutes
in the evening, or a total of 20.59 min
utes for the day. In case of the four
Cows milked by hand it will be noted
that it took an average of 21.88 min
utes to milk them in the morning and
1S.71 minutes in the evening, or a total
of 40.5'J minutes for the day. There
Was thus a daily saving of 3.5 minutes
per cow, or 14 minutes on four cows,
through the use of the machines. It
Should be noted, however, that the
time saved by the employment of ma
chines was not the result of greater
speed in milking, but in the operator's
A I'OWilt MILKER.
ability to milk two cows at once. In
deed, one man can look after five ma
chines milking ten cows at once, thus
greatly increasing this saving of time.
"The pulsator can be adjusted so that
the action will be fast or slow. Fifty
to sixty pulsations per minute is the I
rate usually recommended. The more
rapid the pulsations the faster the ma- j
chine will milk up to a certain limit.
The writer saw one cow giving a good j
flow milked absolutely clean ' with a !
machine In 24 minutes, the number of
pulsations being 150 per minute. It is
believed, however, that such rapid
milking for any length of time has a
bad Influence upon the cow.
"The yield of milk Is perhaps the
most Important matter to the dairy
man. Any method of milking that has
tendency to decrease the flow to any
appreciable extent can hardly be con
sidered practicable. This point was
stndled for a period of thirty days in
this experiment with the milking ma
chine. The total yield of milk for four
cows during thirty days was 1,898.75
pounds from hand milking and 1,960.23
pounds from machine milking, not In
cluding stripplngs, a difference of 61.5
pounds, or 3.24 per cent, In favor of
the machine.
"It is of Interest to note how the
milking machine affects a herd of cows
the first time It Is use. The writer
was present in a barn of about forty
cows on one occasion the first time the
machines were put in oieration. Some
of the animals were a little restless at
first owing to the sight of the machines
and the clicking of the pulsators, but
soon they became quiet and reconciled
to their action. One feature which is
perhaps a little surprising is that heif
ers took to the machines as readily as
the older cows. The majority of the
cows appeared to like the machines
and stood quietly."
Feeding the Calf.
IJemember the calf stomach is a
Small affair and must be fed in pro
portion to its capacity. The practice
f watering the milk for the calf Is
bad. Feed the milk by itself and let
the calf do Its own watering. It knows
its needs in that line better than you da

Bucket Pumps.
It Is possible to apply small quanti
ties of spray on a few plants in a
small garden, for instance with a gar
den syringe. Most of these syringes,
however, do not give a sufficiently fine
spray to be satisfactory. These ex
pedients, however, are now supplant
ed by the bucket

quirements of

bucket, but usu
ally the pump is inserted into a wood
en bucket containing the spray, as
here shown. To do good work the
bucket pump is usually more easily
operated by two persons than by one.
With the bucket pump good pressure
can be secured, and if suitable hose
and nozzles are used results entirely
satisfactory are possible.
The Elberta Peach.
The reason why the Elberta peach is
planted more than all others Is about
the same reason why Baldwin and
Ben pavis apples. Concord grapes and
Bartlett pears are more generally
planted than most all others. The
tree Is vigorous and hardy, thrives on
about every variety of soil; fruit buds
are a little more hardy than the aver
age." It la an early and profuse bearer,
and, whether the fruit be thinned or
not, It Is always of large size, rit is of
bright yellow, with red on the sunny
side, which makes It always attractive
In appearance. It has a thick, tough
skin and is a long keeper,' and; as the
majority of the buyers never ask what

Garden Windbreaks.
The garden plat for early vegetables
needs a slight southern exposure and
protection from north and west winds,
a site selected Just south of a grove
or buildings, says Iowa Homestead.,
Where such protection cannot be had
the farmer can grow in three years a
sufficient willow hedge. In these days
of high priced lumber It is perhaps a
practical suggestion to say build a high
board fence.
The windbreak, once its advantages
are noticed, will not be readily aban
doned. Its value in securing early ma
turity Is considerable.
Sowing Sorghum Seed.
As a general rule, sorghum should
be sown later than corn. In the cen
tral part of the country, or the great
corn belt, seeding will mostly be done
by May 25, and two cuttings are some
times secured la favorable seasons.
Bowing may be continued during May
or, for a catch crop, well through
June.

which covers a period of nearly fifty
years, we do not remember ever but
once having this trouble to contend
with, although our pasture for our
aged sheep has been used continuously
as a permanent pasture durins all
these fifty years. Our first experience
set us to thinking. We consulted You-
att, Spooner, Randall, Stewart and oth
ers and made up our mind the thing to
do was to exterminate the germs in
embryo in the stomach of the ewes, if
possible.
Sheep, as well as all other kinds of
stock, crave salt, and when allowed to
partake at will take only so much as
nature requires. Our method now is to
keep constantly before them medicated
salt, either commercial or of our own
home mixture, which consists of salt
dampened with spirits of turpentine
and a light sprinkle of sulphate of iron.
When weaned and we want to wean
early we bring them to the barn and
allow them access to their creep. In
the evening turn them out on fresh
meadow pasture, or, what is still bet
ter, a newly seeded meadow. When
the sun begins to grow hot on the fol
lowing day they are again driven to
the barn, where they remain during
the heat of the day.

stock exposition at Chicago.
.Breeding From Twins.
For many years I have kept a small
flock of Devon Longwood ewes, and,
the singles' naturally, getting f at, ' I
have always sold them to1 the butcher,
keeping only the twin ewe lambs ' as
breeders, writes a breeder in Farmer
and Stock Breeder. The last three or
four years the number of .twins, trip
lets and generally one or two fours in
my flock has been very much larger
than that of my neighbors. But wheth
er breeding only from twins be the
cause of such an Increase T should not
dare to say. The ewes When with the
ram are .only kept as usual,, in ordina
ry old pasture, and only; one ram to
eighty ewes. This year's record so far
promises to keep on the usual lines, as
tip to date twenty-three eWes have had
fifty lambs--vlz, three singles,' fourteen
twins,' five triplets and one' four.
Hints For the Goat Breeder.

said: .We prefer March kids.. That Is
What I nearly always aim to have.

sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

that one of the first things is to keep
them free from lice. But I have found,
too, that too much grain is a detriment.

don't know. The first time I noticed
it I had one goat in particular that I
was taking much pains with and ex
pecting to get into a very fine show
animal. It did not, for it had too
much grain, and I think that along
that line it affects the goat A man
wants to feed certain amounts, but not
to overdo the thing. There is such a
thing as overfeeding. In my goats I
look out for their feet particularly.
They are subject to foot trouble, and
when a goat gets his feet In bad condi

"The meaning I wished to convey

As He Put It.
Lillian Eussell was dining at an
Atlantic City hotel. She had run
down in the morning from Philadel
phia in her seventy horsepower car,
breaking most of the records by the
way.
During dinner Miss Eussell told
a story about a handsome actor.
"A letter of his," she said, "was
put in another man's box at a club
one evening by mistake. The other
man opened the letter, saw that it
was a very angry note from a tailor
demanding instant payment of a bill
long overdue and in dismay sealed
it up again neatly and put it m the
box f its rightful owner.
'Well, the rightful owner entered
the smoking room that night with
the letter in his hand. He ran it
through, glanced round complacent

murmured:

"Speaker Cannon, never felt so

Baid John (L Eversman, secretary to

ages gathered to join in the fun,
but the speaker had more than any
body else, lie arranged the part

the orchestra to play the 'Arkansaw

"Vanity," said the husband as his
wife tried on her new outfit before

of little minds."
But the lady, who was literary,
ran for her notebook.
"Vanity is the sign of a little
mind, is it?" she cried. "Well, listen
to this. This is from Gibbon's di
ary."
And she read:
I am the greatest historian that
ever lived. No one can equal me ill
this direction.'

letter that John Euskin wrote to
Alexander Mitchell :
