The Milking Machine.
The experimental stage of milking
with machines has passed. The sear
city of good milkers and the difficulties
In distributing work on the dairy farm
evenly throughout the year has
prompted many dairy farmers to in-
vest in milking machines. Reasoning
stubbornly along the lines that it
would cost more to operate the ma-
chines and do the necessary stripping,
many dairy farriers have blinded
themselves to the year's accomplish-
ments. Perhaps a few minutes are
lest in preparing the cows and follow-
ing the machines to get the strippings,
but what is that compared with the
tired hands and time spent in getting
the bulk of the milk.
The milking machine is not fool-
proof. A lot of good mechanics are
not sufficiently in sympathy with the
cows to make good milkers.• Thou-
sands of good milkers are hot good filthy, germ -laden teat cups will set up
infection 9n''some form and the use of
unsterilized teat cups can have but
one result finally, ' From careful ex-
amination of milking machines on
many dairy farms it is a wonder that
machine to meet their- individual re-
quirements.
Always wash the cow's udders and
moisten' the teats 'before the milking
begins. Then, if there is some disor-
der with the teats or udder, such as
garget or inflammation, she will at-
tempt to kick or become uneasy.
When the full milk stream is over
stfip the rest by hand. This gives an
opportunity of becoming familiar with
the cow's udder and knowing exactly
its physical condition, It also trains
the heifers to stand for either hand or
mechanical milking. If any of the
cows have udder trouble milk them
by hand until they return to their
normal condition.
Rasp the teat cups clean and ster-
ilize them after each milking. Novel;
use them on a cow that is affected
with teat or udder trouble. If properly
cared for the teat cups are not any
more frequent distributors of bacteria
than the mllker's hands. Naturally,

Generally speaking the proper time
to begin using the mechanical milker
is about the time the cows regain

Id At the beginning f the tnikk°
of dairy cattle and producers of certi-
fied milk have found it necessary to
use the machines or go out of busi-
ness: The pails, being airtight, admit
no dust and dirt, consequently there
will be practically no sediment in the
milk. The bacteria that enter the
milk must come from the cow's teats
and from the contact of the milk with
the rubber tubing. In the mechanical
milker the milk travels through about

Fitting the teat cups to the cow and
keeping close watch to see that the
teats and udder are in normal condi-
tion are important points in operating
the milking machine, The cups should
fit tile teats so that they will get a
straight and proper grip and. the pul-
sation of the machine should be regu-
lated to suit the .indaviduat cows in
the herd. The operator should under-
stand how to adjust the machine to
give the proper length of squeeze and
length of release in order to make the
machine do good work without discom-
fort to the cow. A short, quick pulsa-
tion is not euite'ule for a cow with
long teats that is a hard milker, On
the other hand, a long, slow pulsation
is not suitable for a cow with short
teats that give out the milk easily.
The man who operates the machine
should know his cows and adjust the

Curing Meat.
In the •making of good' meat on the
farm, curing 'is of the utmost import-
ance,
Many farmers make the mistake of
allowing meat to remain in the brine
too long—to "take too much salt." For
hams a good rule is to allow a day
and a half for each pouted of meat; for
instance, eighteen days for a 12 -pound
ham. This ;is for ordinary winter.
weather whets the, meat is protected
from freezing, If the weather is
especially severe, or if the meat
freezes, a longer time should be allow-
ed. However, meat should not be
allowed to freeze, provided it is pos-
sible to prevent it, In the "dry salt"
method it is a good Plan to pack the
meat in a box and to repack at least t
once craning the curing period.
repacking, the meat that was on top.
should be placed near the bottom, so
as to insure an even distribution of
salt. Bacon or side meat that is to be
Mead before summer should not be left
in salt more than a week or ten days.
Where bacon is to be carried into hot
weather, two weeks' time is an aver,
age period. Sides should be split in
two, having a thick or heavy, and a
thin or light bacon. The "heavies"
should he used or sold first, or a better
plan is to render these into lard or
to use a part in adding fat to the sau-
sage.

Smoking has much to do with the
flavor of country -cured meat, and
especially hams. In smoking, almost
any kind of hard wood can be used.
Hickory and apple tree wood are
among the best, The smoking from
a smoldering fire should be kept up for
a few hours each day for two or three
weeks, the object being to allow the
meat to take smoke gradually rather
than to hasten the process. All meat
should be hung some distance above
the fire, and bacon should be near the
roof of the smokehouse. Smoking
should not be done on damp, "muggy"
clays or in rainy weather.
After the hams have been smoked
sufficiently, wrap them in old news-
papers and place in flour sacks, then
hang up 'in a dark place. In sacking

Tbet is quite naturally the lawyer's

must be Christ's answer, "Loves God

Church there will he, as there has ale
ways been, differences of opinion, jlif-
ferences of judgment, on political or

prevails there will be friendly inter-

reform or change may prove imper-
fect. It may have its day. and cease
to be, But love abides, the unalter-
able law of God, "Love never fnileth"
Who Is My Neighbor? is the earn-
- est inquirer's next question. To whom
does this law of love apply? Does it
apply to an alien, a' foreigner, an
enemy, a rival? Does it apply to a
man of another race, or color, or
creed? The parable of the good Sa-
maritan is the answer. Your neigh-
bor is the one who suffers, the one who
has been ill-treated, the one who
needs your help and whom you. can
help, The Samaritan proved himself
neighbor to the poor fellow who had
fallen among thieves.
It need not be difficult to apply the
teaching of the parable to present
conditions.. If we meet from day to
day those who suffer' from any cause,
whether they- have been robbed, . of
insufficiently clothed or housed or fedi
or unable to have the comforts of.
decencies of life for their children, or
era broken in health, or mentally de-
ficient, or without faith and hope in
God, we have found our opportunity
to obey the law of love. These arc our
neighbors. What have we done, what
shall we do, to help them? To be
interested, to feel responsibility, to
seek to understand and sympathize
and help in the wisest and most ef.
fective way, is possible for us all. To
pray for power and wisdom to help is
our privilege. It is in connection with
this very question of right and help-
ful relations with those about us that
Jesus uttered the great promise of

Owner of one, he must be happy. The Samaritan thought first of hie
duty to the sufferer. Love prompted
his -willing and ready effort to help
and to heal.
The exhortation of James (2s 14-16)
is to the same effect. No profession of
faith, or good words, will take the
place of loving deeds. Our faith will
be surely tested by our treatment of
those who have need. A little self-
denial on our part will always make
possible that greatest happiness, the

ing the example of our grandmothers
who dried apples, peaches, pumpkin,
corn, with great success. Corn should
be cooked; "cut from the cob and spread
"on cotton cloth over clean boards,
platters, or drying trays and set he
the sun; while drying, turn or stir
well. This dried corn makes the most
delicious succotash, combined with
baking or other beans.
Apples are sliced, spread, turned,
and dried similarly, also peaches; and
housekeepers are experimenting in
this direction in many ways. A friend
tells me of her success in drying
strawbernies, which she has verified
by 'soaking and stewing a few of the
berries, the result being a delicious
sauce. Other products which are
dried successfully are - potatoes, car-
rots, onions, Swiss ,chard, rhubarb,
spinach, and so forth. When perfectly
dried, pack in tins, paper or cloth bags,
The perfect gentleman is the man
who has the highest regard for the
rights and feelings of others.
