By untidiness and carelessness the milker may be the cause of unclean and unwholesome milk. It is not un- common for the laborer to go from the field, or even the cleaning of the stable to the milking with the same costume and unwashed hands, Add to this the not uncommon practice of milking a filthy cow with wet hands from which drops of muddy -colored Iiquid, fall into the milk pail. No milker or assistant should have any connection with the milk at any stage of its production if he has any communicable disease, or if he has been exposed to scarlet fever, diph- theria, typhoid fever or smallpox. CLEAN, DRY HANDS NEEDED. After having everything prepared for milking, he should thoroughly wash his hands with soap, water and brush, so that they will be clean when milk- ing bas. begun. The hands must bo kept dry during milking. If they become moistened with milk they should be kept dry with a clean towel, Wash. and dry the hands after milking each animal. The first three or four streams from each teat should be drawn into a sep- arate vessel to be thrown away, but not into the gutter. A special suit should be worn dur- ing milking, and at no other time. :the covered milk pail has been found to be an advantage. Milk should be strained outside the stable in pure dust -free atmosphere and into clean dust -free cans. In short, cleanliness should be the Motto in every way. Many dairymen fall to realize that they are producing an article of human food. They fail to realize that to be satisfactory milk must be produced under as clean con- ditions, and handled with as much care as any other food. The cow stable should be as clean as the kit- chen, and the milker as fastidious as the cook. COST OR SANITARY MILK. The produetlon of sanitary milk in- volves extra cost, and the public should be willing eo eray the extra price. Most dairymen, no doubt, could improve the quality of their milk to same extent with tittle or no addi- tional cost. This improvement should stimulate increased consumption, and in the end affect the price. It is unfortunate that the quality of n11ik cannot be 3udged by appearance, But color is not an index of ricbness; the amount of cream is not a true mea- sure of nutritives value; the absence of dirt or sediment does not always ifzrlicate purity; the Babcock test and ]ictometer cannot detect modern adul• ter;stions; batteria Cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the number of species can only be determined by the trained bacteriologist. In our large titles milk passes through the hands Of dealers, and the consumer is un- known to the producer. Under these conditions the efforts of the painstak- ing and conscientious producer of milk is not known, appreciated or reward- ed. On. the part of the consumer un- certainty encourages distrust and di- minishes consumption, FACTS ABOUT MILKING, Cream cannot riff° through a great depth, of• milk. If, therefore, milk is desired to retain its cream for a time,. it should be put into a deep, -narrow dish; and if it is desired to free it most completely of cream, it should be Poured into a broad, flat dish, not much exceeding one inch in depth, The evolution of cream is facilitated by a rise and retarded by a depression of temperature. At the usual tem- perature of the dairy, 50 degrees Fah-' renheit, all the cream wilt probably hise in 36 hours; but at 70 degrees it will perhaps rise in half that time, When the milli is kept near the freez- ing point the cream will rhea very slowly, because it becomes solidified. In wet and cold weather.the milk Is less rich than in dry and warm, and on this account more cheese. is obtain- ed in cold than in warm weather, though not in thundery weather, The season has its effects. The milk in spring is supposed to be the best for drinking, henee it would be best for calves; -in summer it is beet suited for cheeee; and to autumn the butter keeping is better than in summer -the cows, less fre- quently milked, give richer milk and, consequentjy, more butter. The morning's milk is richer than the evening's, The last drawn of each milking, at all times - and seasons; is richer than the first drawn, which is the poorest, FARM NFl1'irS AND VIEW'S, With the prevailing price of feed, the cost of carrying the brood sow through the winter has been higher than any previous year. This being the case, it is highly important that all the young pigs that are born be saved, The only returns received from the feed allowed the brood sows is in the form of young pigs born and raised, This oleo determines the ini- tial cost of the young pigelf it cost $25 per. year to maintain a brood ow, and she produced one litter of 10 Piga, the initial cost of the pigs would be $2.50 per head at weaning time. If she raises only six up to weaning time, the initial cost would be a little over $4 per head, Thus it will be seen that it is important to have each sow produce two litters per year if condi- tions are favorable, and that it ie good busineee to try to save all the young pigs that are 'born.

ACROSS AUSTRALIA, Rorty -One Nliles Undone On Transcontinental Railway, Only forty -one n ilea of track are now needed to complete tate Italian ttanacont1uentai railway. The num- tenets of his uews can hardly he over- estimated, for the completion of the /mail piece of trackage promises to have an influence on Australian devel- thaent comparable in a way with t exerted upon the development of this country by the opening of the Union Pacific nearly half a century ago. The immediate effect will be to link up the capitals of the five conti- nental states of the Australian com- monwealth by establishing an un- broken line of communication through Brisbane, on the east, through Syd- little nemilesy, Melbourne and Adelaide, to Perth, on the neat, a distance just a short of thirty-five hundred , The Australian transcontinental railway has been long in the building, and is the result of the linking up of isolated stretches of lines constructed in and by the different states rather than of a carefully matured program- me of development. BY the year 1889 railway communication had been es- tablished between the four capital cit- ies of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, a distance of 1,790 miles, through the connecting at the borders of the state ratilway linea of Queensland, New South Wales, Vic- toria and South Australia, which line was in time extended from Adelaide northwest to Dort Augusta, a distance of 260 miles. About the same time Western Australia had built a state railway eastward for 375 miles from Perth to Kalgoorlie, in the heart of the gold fields. Nothing was done looking toward the tracking of this 1,063 mile gap be- tween Port Augusta, in South Mistral- ia, and Kalgoorlie, in Western Aus- tralia, until 1907, when the Common- wealth government ordered a prelim- lnary survey of a lino to connect these extremities of the existing lines from the east and west. As a result of that survey the commonwealth de- cided, four years later, to construct the railway as a government line. 'Work was started at both ends in September, 1912, and the construction has progressed so rapidly that there 'now remain only forty-one miles of track ,to connect the Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie division. It is probable that the opening of the first Australian transcontiuental line will have the, salve immediate ef- fect as did the opening of the first American transcontinental line. The - Australian railway, and more parttcu- tarly the thousand -mile stretch be- tween Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie, passes through a relatively poor and barren land, which does not seem now susceptible of the same agricultural development as the Iend pierced by the. Union Pacific. And again the largest results cannot be anticipated from the Australian trunk line be- cause of the lacg of uniformity of gauge throughout its length, a defect traceable to the •different gauges adopted by the different states in the first days of railroad building, In the trip from Brisbane to Perth four transfers of passenger and freight will Purely Herber ---Ho poisonous coloring Aniiseptie-Steps blood -poison Soothing -Ends pain and smarting, etc. Pure-Bcsi for baby's rashes.

Notwithstanding the existence of this present defect, which the Com- monwealth government is already to remedy, the eompiettion of the Austra- lian transcontinental•raiiway will un- doubtedly facilitate interstate trade and, in conjunction with its prflncipal branches, will alow the produce of in- land areas to it:nd its natural outlet at the nearest port. -Philadelphia Com- mercial Museum, SAND PAINTING. l formed of jagged lllaes-- of broken 1 trlanglea, of the ('ollventianalleed whirling iz zlg cross of fire and the swas- tika.

All those mercrants who have kept their firms always flourishing for a hundred years have the right to re- ceive the foreign title of baron.

Sulphur is a Splendid Deodorizer and Disinfectant, Sulphur is a powerful disiutectant and deodorizer. The fumes or gas is intensely irritating to the throat when Inhaled and may produce dangerous inflammation of the respiratory pass- ages. For this reason, when burn- ing sulphur for the purposes of disin- fection it is always2impertant to avoid exposing oneself CO the gas. The sulphur to be burned should be placed on a shovel or iron steel plate, in the room to be faimigated, all out- lets to be closed, Break the sulphur up in small bits and pour alcohol over it; then set fire to it and close the door to the room or closet. For every 1,000 cubic feet of air space to be disinfected five pounds of sulphur are necessary. The time of exposure required for bacterial infections is 24 hours. For fumigation necessary to destroy mos- quitoes and other vermin a shorter time will suffice, about six or eight. hours. Sulphur gas bleaches fabrics r ma- terial dyed with vegetable or aniline dyes. It destroys lit}eri or cotton by rotting the fibre. it injures most metals. Sulphur is very destructive to all forms of animal We, and this property renders it a. valuable agent for the extermination of rats and other ver- min. During the • housecleaning season sulphur may be used with advantage in disinfecting dark closets and musty rooms. It is useful in all localities where rats and mice are found. Tt must be borne in mind, however, that all draperies in carpets will fade; also wallpaper, if exposed to the fumes of sulphur; hats and clothing are also bleached by it. After a locality has been disinfected it should be thrown wide open to ad- mit the air and sunshine for twenty- four hours.
