At the meeting of the American Medical Association at Atlantic City Pneumonia was described by Dr. Edward F. Wells, of Chicago, as "A new menace toycivilization." He quoted thirty cases of com- municable virulency. He recom- mended the use of moistened cloths before the face and nose when sneezing and coughing, adding that the pneumococcus was often pre- sent in the throat and nose and might be communicated by cough- ing or sneezing. Ex -Surgeon Gen- eral Sternberg, the discoverer• of the pneumococcus or pneumonia germ, said he doubted the practic- ability of any method of fumigat- ing or sterlizing a room in which the germs might happen to be. Before bananas are thoroughly matured they are apt to be insipid in flavor, and to cause dyspepsia and other forms of intestinal dis- turbance. • They should not be eaten before the skin is blackened in places, or when there is any reluc- tance in the skin to separate from the pulp. Housekeepers know how bananas will change in the course of a single night from a manifestly sound condition to one in which the skin is.blackened and the pulp soft and slightly discolored. Now, children infinitely prefer these last bananas to those that are apparent. ly sounder, and it may well be that in this instance the natural inclin- ation of the child covers more wis- dom than the caution of its elders ; in fact, experts say that the banana like the'medlar, can hardly be in too ripe a condition for eating.— Britsh Medical Journal. AERATION AND COOLING OF NEILL tor, The result was that we got some of the • worst milk we could possibly have. Unless the air be pure, it would be better to cool the milk with as little aeration;as pos- sible. �y COOLING XILI* 1'0R THE CGEES3 FAo'roRY.— Cooling of • Milk is a most important point: The advTan- tage of cooling is th+a.t it prevents the growth of bacteria or organ- isms which are apt to develop bacl flavors in the milk. There are two ways of cooling milk. One is by the maximum of exposure to the air, and the other by the minimum of exposure to the air. Tho first method, the use of such a cooler as the Star or Champion, will cool milk rapidly, which is a decided advantage. A disadvantage is that one must have water elevated or under pressure in order to' use the ordinary cooler, and a great many farmers have not such a water supply. A second disadvantage is the labor of lifting the milk up to the cooler, and of washing the cooler afterwards. The majority of farmers will not undergo the labor necessary to do this work properly.` To lift$tho milk up, to let it run o-rer the cooler,,and after- wards wash the cooler, is more than the average man will do. Then there is the difficulty that by using such a cooler, the milk is largely exposed to the air and the sante risk is run in the use of the aerator. Any form of cooler,wlrich cools the milk rapidly exposes it largely to the air. And while this gives an opportunity for the gases and volatile oils to pass away, im- purities are apt to be absorbed. To overcome this difficulty various devices have been suggested to cool milk under cover. Probably the best plan is to set the cans of milk in tanks of cold water. Run- ning cold water, at a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees, gives the ideal conditions. Where that is not obtainable ice will be necessary to get the milk properly cooled. In that case the milk should be suf- ficiently stirred while cooling to bring the cool milk from the out- side of the can to the centre, and so facilitate the rapid cooling of the milk with a miniantun of expo- sure to time air. Milk for factory work should be cooled .to a tem- perature at least below 70 degrees, to 60 degrees if possible. Where the milk is paid for by the fat con- tent, the owner is assured of better and more more uniform tests if he will star the milk and keep the cream from rising. COOLING ESSENTIAL IN SUMMER. AERATION OF QUESTIONABLE VALUE.. —By aeration of • milk we under- stand the exposing of milk to the air, or the forcing of air into milk, said Prof. Dean of the Ontario Agricultural College, at the con- ference of dairy experts held at the Department of Agriculture,Ottawa, last fall. The theory of the prac- tice is that the oxygen of the air verifies or improves the milk, and at the same time gases or volatile oils which are in the milt are en- abled to pass away. If the air to which the milk is exposed on which is'ferced into the milk be perfectly pure, the result -will undoubtedly be an improvement in the flavor and physical quality of the milk. The experiments at the College have not shown any advantages from aerating milk. Probably. the conditions there, so far as feeding the cows and caring for the milk are concerned, are better than those of the average farm. The farrier may be compelled to feed his cows imp such a way, or the cows themselves may get such feed, that aeration of the milk would be an advantage. AERATION IN THE BARNYARD. --In many cases, however, the air is not pure, and often as much Barin as good is done, Instructor Publow has mentioned that fifty per cent of the cans in Eastern Ontario are left in the barnyard,. Aerating milk in. the barnyard is one of the worst things a man could possibly do. We have milked our cows in the yard, which is kept a good deal cleaner than the average barnyard. We have put the aerator outside the fence, milked the cows and have let the mill* run down over the aera- Canadian .Life Stock at St. Louis. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WILL DUPLIOATn PRI'I,mys.--The Hon. Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agri- cultnre, has authorized tho live stock commissioner to announce that any Canadian who exhibits horses, cattle, sheep, swine, or poultry at the St. Louis Exposition, will receive such services as are granted to exhibitors in other classes. and in addition i he Depart- ment of Agriculture will pay to eaoh such exhibitor a suns equal to the prize money which he secures in the competitions for which ho enters, The Exposition authorities have asked. that the Commissioner of Exhibitions shall countersign or endorse the certificates of registra- tion of pure bred stock. All entries or applications for space for live stock should be addressed to Mr. Wm. Hutchison, Commissioner, at the Canadian Building, Exposition Grounds, St. Louis. All such mat- ters will be properly and promptly attended to, and the intending ex- hibitors duly notified as to the con- ditions of the Exposition in regard to their particular classes. • The War. The. Japanese are making free use of their fleet on the shores of the Liaotung peninsula, The squadron in the Gulf of Pechili is blockading Newchwang and patrol- ling the coast to the southward. The Manchurian railway runs along the shore there and Admiral Togo reports that the other day one of his ships bonabarded a railway train near Kaichow and forced it to turn back. A cruiser patrolling a hostile coast and dropping shells here and there wherever a Russian guar is mounted must be far more effective than a battalion on infan- try in preventing a southward Rus- sian movement. In the Core= Gulf the Japanese navy is still active, and it is fronn this region that the news conies of a disaster to the Yashinma, a first- class battleship, which is alleged to have gone ashore. For over two weeks the report has comae in at intervals and has had no official denial. There seems to be no suf- ficient reason for risking the big Japanese fighting vessels ire any- thing less important than a battle with the Port Arthur squadron. British naval experts point out that Japan asks a little too much of her navy, The clearing out of the Haines in Talienwan Bay, for, ex- ample, in which a cruiser was lost, should, they hold, have, been defer- red till tho capture of the town by the land forces, when it might have been safely done by countermining ; that is by sinking mines and firing them, the resulting concussion ex- ploding all other mines within a hundred feet. A Times cable says that ammu- nition is very scarce. There must also be great many sick and wound- ed in the hospitals. Stoessel's story that only 700 were killed and wounded in the fighting at Kin - chow is shown to be utterly untrue The Japanese officially report that they buried 704 Russians on the field. The proportion of killed to wounded is seldom more than one to three, and it is safe to estimate that among the troubles of the gar- rison of Port Arthur not the least is the caro of over two thousand wounded, many of then terribly injured by bursting shells. From the armies of the north comes a despatch that indicates a serious reverse for Kuroki's army. The Russians at Idareheng say they set a trap for the advancing Japan- ese. Two battalions, the advance guard of the Japanese forces at Fenwaneheng, fell into the ambus- cade on June 9th, and were cut to pieces by artillery and rifle fire. The Russians, it is aclded,withdrew without the loss of a single man. The reversal of form is so remark- able that we shall await confirma- tion before fully crediting. the story, though it has probably a basis of truth. A Japanese battal- ion consists of a little over 400 men. W. C. T. U. Do Something to Stop It. At the national meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Philadelphia, one of the members told the story of an unhap- py mother, a wealthy woman, who wished to send a message to her son in prison. Said. the speaker She handed me a picture, and told me to show it to him. "1 said.' This is not your picture !' " .Yes,' she said, 'that is mine before he went to prison ; and here is one taken after I had had five 3 -ears waiting for Charley.' "I went with those two pictures to the prison. I called at an inop- portune time. He was in the Clark cell. The keeper said he had been in there twenty-four homers ; bnt. in answer to my pleadings, he wont clown into the dark cell and an- nounced a lady from his mother. There was no reply. '• 'Let me step in,' I said. . "There was just a single plank from one ends to the other, and that was a]1 the furniture ; and there the boy from 'Yale College sat. "Said 1, 'Charley,I am a stranger to you, but I have come from your mother ; and 1 shall have to go back and tell her that you did not want to hear from her.' '° `Don't mention my mother's name here, he said. '1 wi11 do anything if you will go.' As he walked along the cell, I noticed that he reeled. "Said. I, 'What is the matter?' "He said he hadn't eaten any- thing in twenty-four hours. "They brought him something, and I sat down by hint and held the tin plate on which was some coarse, brown bread without any butter, and, I think, a tin cap of coffee. By and by, as we talked, I pressed into his handl his mother's picture, and he looked at it and said : "That is my mother. I always said she was the handsomest wo- man in the world,' "Ho pressed it and hell it in his hands. and I slipped the other pic- ture over it. -Who is that?' he asked. " 'That is your mother.' "That is my mother.' 'Yes; that is the another of the boy I found in a dark cell, after she had been waiting five years to 800 him.' " `n God !' he cried, 'I have done it! No, it is the liquor traffic that has done it! Why don't you do something to stop it?' Press, Supt. A new scheme of blackmailing is being carried on by some of the "secret disease" quacks: After an offer of a month's free treatment, or other seemingly great induce- ment, a sheet containing a list of questions is sent to the vintiztr: The unsuspecting party who has more faith in an advertising con- cern than in any regularly licensed physician, answers tho questions, and of coarse signs his name.' This admission made above his signature forms an excellent basis for the levying of blackmail. MARKETS Revised every Thursday afternoon.
