Test Association In Michigan.
Writing of the test association in
Michigan, Colon C. Lillle says: A few
formers in a community owning a suf
ficient number of cows simply meet
and organise under the laws of the
State, elect officers and hire a com
petent man to, do the testing. The ex
pense Is to be paid pro rata by each
man in proportion to the number of
cows he owns. It Is desirable to have
a sufficient number of cows In the as
sociation so that the expense will not
exceed $1 to fl.50 per cow a year. The
tester visits one herd a day. He ar
rives in the afternoon, sees the "cows
milked, takes n sample from each cow,
weighs her milk, estimates the feed and
the cost both night and morning. Then
he tests the milk of each cow and fig
ures out the cost of the ration, leav
ing a record with the farmer. This
farmer then takes him and his outfit
-to the next farmer and so on. He gets
to each farm every month so that a
farmer has monthly records each year.
At the end of the year the tester fig
ures up the yield of milk and butter
fat and the value of the same, the cost
of feed given each cow and figures out
the profit or loss on each animal in the
herd and furnishes every patron with
this complete record. What dairyman
can afford to be without this knowledge
of his dairy herd when the expends
will not exceed $1 or $1.50 per cow?
Suppose a man should come to you
and say that he would teh you just
exactly how much profit you were mak
ing on each cow for $1 or $1.50. Woui
you not think it a bargain to accept
the proposition? And yet this is just
what n co-operative cow testing asso
ciation offers to every man.
Milking Important.
Milking is one of the most important
parts of dairying. The cows should be
milked quickly, clean and quietly. Do
not excite your cows or they will not
Jet their milk down. Don't strike a
cow because she kicks. If she kicks,
there is some cause for it Look for
the cause and remedy It It may be a
Bore teat. It may be an Inflamed ud
der or It may be that she has been
misused and regards her milker as an
enemy that she must fight If such
Is the case, treat her kindly, and she
will soon learn that you are not going
to harm her. Clip the long hair off
the udder and flanks and wipe off the
udder with a damp cloth before milk
ing, and you will be surprised to see
how much cleaner the milk will be.
Dr. DaTid Roberts.
Cleaning the Separator.
In cleaning the separator clean all
parts that come In contact with milk.
First Immerse In cold water, theni
i,JZ?ZLLT l..wEiwill impress people as mere mas
parts with very hot clean water; after-
ward rinse again with clean cold wa-
ter and allow to dry. Expose every
part to fresh air and sunshine. Do

Fearlessly he advanced his men

under the eyes of the Spanish army,

nourishment. Eigorous dieting to
reduce weight is, he considers, al
ways dangerous. It is better to
work off the superfluous flesh by
exercise. Again, the habit of re
stricting the food allowance results
in a decline of appetite, whereas our
object should be to increase the ap
petite and thereby strengthen the
digestive powers, assisting the result
by judicious exercise. The first
sign of illness in man or an animal
is usually loss of appetite, while, on
the other hand, a good appetite is
generally a sign of fine health. Ex

A Suicidal Lion.
Thackeray almost broke the heart
of a silent worshiper in Charlotte
Bronte when first they met at table.
"Behold a lion cometh out of the
north," she quoted as he entered
the drawing room, while he, as one
of his biographers tells us, was feel
ing nothing but a poor but ravenous
specimen of an Englishman. At
dinner she was placed, by her own
request, opposite Thackeray. "xVnd
I had," he said, "the miserable hu
miliation of seeing her ideal of me
disappear down my throat, as every
thing went into my mouth and
nothing came outof it. At last as
I - took my fifth -potato she leaned
across, with clasped hands and tears
in her eyes, and breathed imploring
ly, 'Oh, Mr. Thackeray, don't!'"

The Nurse's Vocation.
The distinction between the wo
man to whom nursing is a vocation
and the woman who merely earns
her living by nursing is a very real
one, although it is a very difficult
one to define. A nurse may be full
of faults and yet have a true voca
tion, while, on the other hand, a
woman of the most estimable type
may be lacking in the smallest spark
of the divine fire. The vocation for
nursing leaps out from' the hum
blest as well as from the highest
homes in the kingdom. Its one
shining mark is its vitality. Hos

Neither Did the King.
It is told of King Frederick VI.
of Denmark that while traveling
through Jutland one day he entered
a village school and found the chil
dren lively and intelligent and
quite ready to answer his questions.
"Well, youngsters," he said,
"what are the names of the greatest
kings of Denmark?" -
With one accord they cried out,
"Canute the Great, Waldemar and
Christian V.!"
Just then a little girl, to whom
the schoolmaster had whispered
something, stood up and raised her
hand. ' '
"Do you know another V asked
the king.
"Yes Frederick VI."
"What great act did he per
form?" The girl hung her head and stam
mered .out, "I don't know."
"Be comforted, my child," said
the king. "I don't know either."
Why Do We Yawn?
There can be little doubt that one
of the objects of yawning is the ex
ercise of muscles which have been
for a long time quiescent and the
acceleration of the flow of blood and
lymph, which have in consequence
of this quiescence become sluggish;
hence its frequency after one has
remained for some time in the same
position for example, when wak
ing in the morning. Co-operating
with this cause is sleepiness and the
shallow breathing which it entails.
This factor, as well as muscle
quiescence, is apt to attend the
sense of boredom which one expe
riences in listening to a dull ser
mon; hence it is that the bored in
dividual is apt to yawn. As in the
case of sighing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawn
ing compensates for the shallow
breathing that is so apt to excite it.
Speaking of Rivers. -
" The Thames and the Seine are
about as large as the nameless
creeks that wander across almost
every country in America, while the
waters of the blue Danube could be
poured into the boiling flood of the
Mississippi without changing its col
ors a single shade.
What! You have never seen the
Mississippi! Then, suggests Gny
Walker in Good Housekeeping,
postpone your trip abroad and see
your own country first, for one of
the most awe inspiring sights in
nature, greater even than the roar
ing falls of Niagara, is to watch the
silent, majestic and resistless sweep
of the Mississippi at its flood.
