1 J3 J. M. Professor A. L. Haecker of the Ne bnikn experiment station says of the milking machine: A good operator -with three machines can milk from twenty eight to thirty cows an hour. If he Is ob'igi'il to weigh every cow's milk separately and sample the same, he cannot work so fast and must be satisfied with about twenty-four to twenty-six cows an hoar. The operator must be a man above the ordinary In intelligence and Integrity. He must follow directions closely, must use his judgment and be steady and method ical in his habits. Haphazard work absolutely will not do. The machine working on the pulsa tion plan must be carefully regulated as to the number of pulsations per mimite. We find, for example, certain cows requires a more rapid pulsation than others. As a rule, the harder the milker the slower the pulsation should be. A man can find this re quirement very accurately by timing himself in hand milking, as so many teat charges per minute can be emp tied. It Is well known that a cow that Is hard milking has a small open ing In the teat. This will require HAND POWER MILKING MACHINE. more time to empty the teat charge. It is just so with the milking machine ouo pulsation should empty or near ly empty the teat charge. Occasionally we find a cow with small teats that milks easily, where rapid pulsations can be used. I have In mind a little Jersey heifer that takes the smallest sized teat cup nnd teat mouthpiece that can be .milked In two minutes and a half perfectly dry by using a rapid pulsation. I have a largo llolstein that milks hard and re quires the largest steed teat cup and mouthpiece and requires from twelve to fourteen minutes. In a mixed herd such variations are quite likely to oc cur. Again. I have found that it is very necessary that each quarter be supplied with the proper sized teat cir; and mouthpiece. I have one cow, for example, that requires three differ ent sizes In order to milk her satis factorily. I have found that even the putting on of the teat cup requires skill, and the same operator should ntilk the same cows each time. If pos sible, so as to avoid annoyance to the animal by changes. The Science of Dairying. If you are clean at milking time and prevent filth or foreign matter of any kind from entering the milk and if you will thoroughly strain it immedi ately after milking through two or three ply of cloths as well as a metal strainer; if the milk is quickly re moved from tbe "barny" ntmosphere and if it be cooled quickly afterward, there will come from that milk a sweet, pure cream. If, then, the cream Is kept at a low temperature, say any where from 45 to 65 degrees P., until twenty-four to thirty hours before Churning time and if the atmosphere In which the cream is kept Is pare, you will know in advance just how batter from that cream will look, how it will taste and how it will sell on the market. You even know in ad vance If you have properly controlled all the conditions bow long it will take to churn, at least within a very few minutes of the time it will take all of which goes to prove, says a writ er in Homestead, that dairying In its every phase is based on scientific principles. Milk or Butter. The first thing I would consider is the breed of cows kept. I believe firm ly In breeding for a, purpose and that every breed has special traits, writes a dairyman in American Cultivator. The second point In considering the subject is distance from the market; third, the price than can. be obtained i r mm sot x w-c rik HE PILGRIMS prudent men.

"Last, but of the greatest importance. Is the taste of the farmer himself, whether he prefers to make butter or sell milk. I believe he can, in most cases, make a success of either line by applying business principles, not thinking that the other fellow Is get ting rich, but to know by strict ac counts kept of each cow whether he is making it pay or not, and, if not, Why not? Value of Careful Milking It has been determined time an again that cows properly milked keep up the flow of milk longer than in the case with cows milked carelessly. Careful milking promotes the value of the animal as a milk producer aside from directly Increasing the milk flow. The test of milking when looked at from this standpoint is important on any dairy farm. Any one who does not do it purposely lacks a good shears of Intelligence, patience and ccaFflen tiousnes GREEN SOILING HORSES. Change Should Be Made Gradually to Avoid Digestive Troubles. T)e practice of green soiling horses on the farm during the spring and summer seasons Is attended with two great advantages it helps to keep the horses in a healthy condition, and it effects a saving in the cost of keep. The sappy and laxative character of "green meat" of all kinds when cut ill a sufficiently young state renders it ex ceedingly wholesome for horses by rea son of the cooling and refreshing ef fect which It has upon the system. The fact that the feeding of large niinnf-Itioa dtmmi ctiifP ia nnt vim. patible with hard condition In horses does not In any way detract from the value and usefulness of green soiling fnrm hnrKM hM-BiiKO tho lntter onn well be keDt In a snffleientlv efficient condition for the work they are called upon to perform on a diet consisting largely of green meat, provided that they at the same time receive an ade quate allowance of grain. When beginning to green soil the team horses, the change In their diet must be effected in a gradual manner. A sudden and abrupt change from the dry fodder of the winter diet to green meat Is very liable to give rise to di- gestive troubles and to attacks of colic, which occasionally terminate in a fa- tal manner. Only small quantities of green meat should be fed to the horses during the msl us s'u "'""5 to cut up the green meat in the chaff cutter along with some straw. The daily allowance of green meat should be gradually increased day by day, the allowance of dry fodder being at the j, -., -. -. same ume correspondingly reuueea.

What the au straw, but this mod& of feeding the j tbe Asturians, mown as Uable, is tnor meant to say can be ascribed by green meat is followed on some farms throughout the summer. When they are being green soiled, it Is advisable to feed some dry fodder to the horses besides their allowance of grain, as this will tend to keep them in good working condition. The al lowance of dry fodder need only be small and should consist partly of hay and partly of chop. W. R. Gilbert in American Cultivator. The Foaling Box. The most important of all is cleanli ness. The foaling box is best away from drains and manure heaps, be cause tbe pregnant mare is very sus ceptible to infection from such im purities. Everything about the mare ought to be clean and pure, and this particular is extended to the hands of the attendant. Navel-ill is perhaps more often the result of unclean ma nipulation of the umbilical cord than anything else. The bedding may be of dry wheat straw, and the shorter It is the better, so that the foal when he gets on his legs will have the least difficulty In getting around the box, which should be large and roomy. THE HORSEMAN. Moderate work up to almost foaling time will not injure the mare. It is much better after the colt is bom that she should have her liberty. Add some linseed meal and wheat middlings to the ration during the shedding season. A good method of weaning the colt is gradually to stop it from sacking the ' 4a m.

Presence of Mind In Face of Death. A remarkable instance of pres ence of mind in the face of death occurred on board the steam launch Queen of England on the Thames at Windsor on a recent Sunday night. The boat, on which there was a party of about eighty, had almost reached Windsor bridge after a trip up the river when the engines suddenly ceased working. The captain went below and there found Francis Butt, the engineer, lying unconscious. He died short ly afterward. It is believed that Butt, feeling death approaching, had the presence of mind to shut off steam before he fell. He thus prob ably saved many lives. London Mail. Studying Singing Abroad.

The National Saluts ar.d the Salute te x he Union.

The "coach," who knows Ameri can history away down underneath, furnished the information that the national salute, which is the inter national salute that is, the salute riven to the national flag is fixed by army regulations at (twenty-one guns, and that the number appear; to have been in conformity to the custom of foreign nations at the ' time when the number was so fixed.
