Dairy Instruction and Sanitary
Inspection of factories 1
arid Creameries.
+++++4+++++++++++++.+4++++++++++++++++++++++4++++++44
The Dairy Instruction of the past few
years has resulted in a market improve-
ment in the general equipment and eaui-
'tary conditions of factories. :hle,ny pro-
prietors and makers have, however,
stated to the instructors and mon-there
of the Dairymen's Associations that they
r . g
were somewhat discouraged after Torun
to the expanse and trouble which were
found necessary to make the improve-
ments considered essential by the dairy
instructors. "We have gone to consider-
able expense in order that the quality of
• cheese may be of a higher standard, but
our neighbor factories have gone on in
the same old way manufacturing along
cheap lints and they, for the moat part,
seoure as high a price for their cheese
as the better equipped factories. in
many cases the poorly run factorles
manufacture for a lower rata than a
well equipped and Improved factory thus
melting the burden still greater for those
1 who are anxious to do what is omen-
' tial if the industry is to be placed on a
sure and permanent basis."
The sanitary inspectors for the past
year, Messrs, J. H. Echlin and T. Dillon,
have effected a marked improvement in
the sanitary conditions of the factories.
They went out from the department
clothed with authority to insist upon
improvements whichwere necessary and
which had, in many cases, been recom-
mended by instructors, but which had not
• been made. Many expressions -of appre-
ciation of the work accomplished by
these inspectors have been received from
all sections and the better class of dairy-
• men throughout the province are strong-
ly of opinion that work of this nature
should be followed still more closely
during the coming seasons
The representatives of°1tho dairy asso-
elations and the chief instructors as well
,•tis the regular staff of instructors are
wf one opinion as to the advisability of
clothing the instructors with the power
of sanitary inspectors and so arranging
the districts that every factory and
creamery will be subject to regular sys-
tematic sanitary inspection and may
have the benefit of instruction as well.
In order that the opinions above ex-
pressed might be put into tangible form
to be placed before the Minister of Agri -
tion e, the Directorofthe Instruc-
tion
ACHING KIDNEYSe
tion called a meeting of the chief in- V
atructors, sanitary inspectors and rep-
resentatives of the two dairy associa-
tions to meet in Toronto on the 8th inst.
Those present were Chief Instructors G.
• iT. Barr and G. G. Publow, Sanitary In-
spectors, T. Dillon and J. H. Echlin,
representatives of Eastern Dairymen's
Association, R. G. Murphy, .T. It Darga-
vel, M. P., and J. IT. Singleton. West-
. ern Association --Thos. Ballantyne, Jno.
McLevin, and J. N. Paget. After dis-
•eussing the subjects before them at great
length they unanimously decided upon
the following system. reporter of the Star -Transcript Mr.
Robinson freely gavepermission to pub-
lish a statement of his case in the hope
that his experience might benefit some
other sufferer. He said: "I have suf-
fered from kidney trouble for about
three years. Sometimes my back ached
so severely that I was unable to work,
and at times it was almost impossible
for me to straighten up. I had to urin-
ate very frequently and often had to
get up several tunes during the night.
At different times I was under the care
of doctors, but I only got relief for a
• time. I also tried a number of medi-
owner or ananage r of, or assistant in

that is tainted, gassy, over -ripe, or deliv-
ered in rn'ty or unclean gaits or ut'enests,
or in which a preservative of any dtesorip-
tion has been used, •or whielt has been
drawn from cows suffering from lump
jaw of other infectious disease, s+ha1I lee

sion under which the producer ora be

a cheese or butter manufactory any
milk that is tainted or badly soured, and
it is thought to be distinctly in the In-
terests of the industry to have a pro-
vision by wlhielt a aneker or proprietor
can be dealt with provided he accepts
any such milk to be manufactured into
a food product for general .use, This will
have the effect of practically prohibiting
a maker from accepting milk of infer-
ior quality which ]tis been refused at a
neighboring factory.
It must be remembered that the above
are •recotnanendations made by the joint
committee to the Department, and; the
same are being published at this time in
order that the comments of the dairy-
men generally may be secured !before
definite action is taken, The Depart-
ment is desirous of doing only that
which shall be in the best interests of
the cheese and butter industry of the
Province, and wishes to adopt suoh mea -
sores as are necessary to secure the
same, but at the same time wishes to
avoid doing an injustice to any person
or persons. It must not be inferred that
instruction is •to be abandoned and an
army of men sent out merely to give or-
ders to tare men who own the factories
and herds of the country. It is the
desire to so re -arrange .the work of rn-
struction and sanitary inspection that
at can 'be done most effectively at a rea-
sonable cost and in the best interests
of the owners of the factories, bhe pro-
duoerts of milk, and the makers.
The Director of Dairy Instruction, Mr.
G. A. Putnam, would bo glad to oeoctve
suggestions or recommendatiotna from
dairymen regarding the proposed reguia-
tibns.

BYRON AND SHIELLEY.
SOMETHING OF THE LATEST DAYS
OF THE TWO POETS.
Byron was proud of being an athlete,
and was forever in the water, when
swimming was possible. Shelley could
not swim. Trelawny spurred him into
attempting a trial by the specious
pledge: "If you will that you can
swim you can; take a header off this
bank." Shelley, almost mechanically,
obeyed; ho went straight to the bot-
tom, where his white body could be seen
reposing, without movement, not the
least effort to rise or swim. Trelawny,
horrified at his responsibility, plunged
in, lifted the body to the surface, and,
as soon as Shelley recovered breath, lie
sighed regretfully: "I always find the
bottom of the well; they say truth lies
therein. In another minute I should
have found it and you would have
found an •empty shell." Like most per-
sons who neglect to learn to swim, Shel-
ley adored the water and persisted in
having a sailboat. It was Trelawny's
atrocious ill -luck to have some identifi-
cation with Shelley's nautical antics. A
few months later Trelawny, on board
Byron's craft, saw Shelley and his friend
Williams, sail out on the placid sum-
mer sea, while the sailors made prog-
nostics of the possibilities of storm. Two
days later Trelawny embalms the last
poignant picture of the poet, after his.
body had been found on the seashore:
"The face and hands and parts of the
body not protected by the dress were
fleshless. The tall slight figure, the jack;
et, the volume of Sophocles in one pock-
et, and Beat's poems in the other, dou-
bled back, as if the reader, in the act
of reading, had hastily thrust it away,
were all too familiar to me to leave a
doubt on my mind that this mutilated
corpse was any other than,Shelley's. Tho
other body was washed on shore three
miles distant from Shelley's, near the
tower of Migliarino, at the Bocce Leric-
co, I went there at once. This corpse
was much more mutilated; it had no
other covering than the shreds of a
shirt, and that partly drawn over the
head, as if the wearer had been in the
act of taking it off; a black silk hand-
kerchief, tied sailor -fashion round the
neck; socks, and one boot, indicating
also that he had attempted to strip. The
flesh, sinews and muscles hung about
in rags, like the shirt, exposing the ribs
and bones. I had brought with me from
Shelley's house a boot of William's, and
this exactly matched the one the corpse
had on. That, and the handkerchief,
satisfied me that it was the body of
Shelley's comrade.
Byron alone of the friends that gath-
ered on the beach, when Shelley's re-
mains were burned, couldn't endure the
sight; he walked away, leaped in the
water and swan to his vessel, lying in
the bay. Everything of tate human fabric
of Shelley crumbled to fine powder, save
the heart which Trelawny snatched from
the flame and burned his hand badly in
concealing it. Since he would have been
forced into quarantine had the authori-
. ties seen the act. Byron in his way seems
to have delighted in the reformed pirate,
;though Trelawny gave the outhor of
,"Don Juan" no such fealty as he felt for
the gentle Shelley. He acoiitpanied Byron
!on the wild fillibuster fdr the indepen-
dence of Greece, his old sea craft prob-
ably delighting Byron's heart. It was
the pirate's fortune to be near at hand
at the death of the twooets, and his
picture of Byron's ending at Missolong-
hi remains still the best that has been
given of the poet's untimely taking off.
'With desponding thoughts I entered
Missolonghi. Any spot on the surface of
the earth, or in its bowels, that bolds
out a prospect of gain, you will find
inhabited; a morass that will produce
'rice, the crust of a volcano in which the
!vine will grow; lagunes, in which fish
abound, are temptations which overcome
the terror of pestilence or death. So I
was not surprised at seeing Missolonghl,
situated as itis on the verge of the most
(dismal swamp I had ever seen. The mar -

had been besieged, day and night, like
a bank that has a run upon it. Now that
death had elosed the door, it was as sil-
ent as a cemetery."
Byron's body was embalmed, and Tre-
lawny, as he declares, in order to satisfy
a proper curiosity, took a moment when
the poet's valet was out of the room to
examine the feet of the dead. Both, he

information, viz., from the dockyard or
the admiralty headquarters in White-
hall. In the case of the Dreadnought it
was clearly proved that the workmen
, were above suspicion and that those on
• whom the slightest suspicion of foreign
;interest had fallen had been promptly
discharged. Besides, the nature of the
'work was such that there was little any
one man could have betrayed.
As a matter of fact the leakage was
traced to London. A duplicate design of
the gun was missing for a few hours and
then soddenly found in the strong box
where it had originally been placed, ap-
parently it had ben stolen for a time,
another copy had been made and the dup-
licate design returned to prevent fur-
ther inquiry and investigation.

Mrs. Pinkhamclaims that there is a I
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
derangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturbance .
similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot 1
be relieved without a medicine which
not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has
a peculiar tonic effect on the female
organism.
• As proof of this theory we call at-
tention to the case of Mrs. Henry
Beaubien, 58 Sparks St., Ottawa, Ont.,
who was completely cured by Lydia E.
