Now it is the faithful cow for whom mechanical contrivances are being turned out to displace the ancient and honorable. custom of mileing by bend. It is only by the 1 xtier dairies and arnerig the well-to-do dairymen that the milking machine has been introduced, for the rank and file of the farmers of the 'United Stales cling to their inherited methods and are listen° to regard such inventions as the milking machine in the light of "new -beige 1" notions, mere fads for the idle rich and government experimenters, but useless in the serious business of making dairying pay. So great has been the progress achieved by the milking machine in re- cent years, however, and its Successful use would open up such a wild field of Improvement in the dairying industry that the Department of Agriculture at Washington instituted a series of ex- periments end investigations as to the use and. probe:He future of the machine. Four types of machines were open to the investigetions of the officials of the department. One was the foot -power desigeed for use in small herds and witb no stationary fixtures. It con- sists of a suction pump worked by foot power, two pieces of rubber hose and eight suction cups to be attached to the teats of two cows, which can be milked at the same time. The second, the power milker, con- sists of an ordinary milk pail made of block tin, fitted with a tight lid of aluminum and. surmounted by a pump of pulsator that works automatically and causes the intermittent action of the machine. Then there 13 a milker designed for either hand or power, consisting of a single air pomp composed of two cylin- dereeeach of ehieh is independent of the other in its action. Finally there wits the machine that was selected for the eeperiments, in which the milk is drawn 'by intermittent ?suction, created by either a. vacuum pump or a steam ejec- tor. This last machine was of the kind in most general use at the time of the tests, Dairymen frequently inquire what kind of power should be used with the milking machine, but this is only im- portant so far as it affects uniformity and the dependable qualities. If when a cow is being milked, whether by hand or by machine, a stop is made when a .e0,7 is only partially milked, the chances aro there will be a decrease in yield and also a decrease in the quality of the milk when the operation is resumed. So that should the engine or whatever power Is used stop for any cause during the milking a marked falling off in the yield and quality of the milk is at once remarked. Gasoline engines, electric motors and steam power constitute the power used with the milking machines now turned out, and any of these can be utilized with food success if sufficient care be taken in its employment. A,To convince a dairyman that the milk- ing machine is of any use he has to be ehowirthat it will increase the yield and the quality of the milk, or at any rate not decrease them, and will affect a sav- ing of time and consequently of expense ultimately. From a herd of thirteen cows eight were selected by government experts, divided into two lots in such a way that each lot gave practically the same amount of milk. The test con- tinued for thirty days, being divided into three periods of ten days each, ont lot being milked by hand and the other by machine. At the end of each period of ten, days the methods of milking the two Jots of cows were reversed in order to obtain results from milking by the two meth- ods from which a comparison could be struck. During the test all the milking was done by one man, for it makes a vast deal of difference to the cow who milks her and whether she is accus- tomed to the handling. The general averages for the thirty days showed matetially in favor of the machine milking method. Not only was considerable time saved, but the yield was increased and the quality was bet- ter from the machine -milked cows, iii - though this latter point was obtained by very much more careful handling of the machines than the ordinary dairy- man gives to it. The experiments showed that the aver- age time required foe one man to milk four cows' with the machine was 13.02 minutes in the morning and 13.57 min- utes in the evening, or a total of 26.59 minutes for the day. These figures included the time used for putting the machine in place., ad- justing the teat imps, etc. In the ease of the four cows milked by heed, it took an average of 21.9 minutes to milk them in the morning and. 18.71 minutes in the evening, or a total of 40.6 minutes for the day. There was, therefore, a saving in time by the machine, milking of 3.5 minutes a day for each cow, Phi e saving was accomplished not by greater speed in milking, but by the operator's ability to milk two cows at once. As a matter of fact, one man can, look after five mai chines milking ten cowe at once, thereby 'vastly increasing the time saved. Even in milking a single cow, the rnae chine can obtain high spent, however. The pulsator can be adjusted so that its action can be fast or slow and. from fifty to sixty pulsations a minute is the rate usually recommended, but the more rapid. the pulsations; the faster the ma- chine will milk, up to & certain limit. For instance, in the ease of one cow, giv- itg a good flow, the machine milked her absolutely clean in two ana one-quarter minutes, the number of pulsations being 150 te the minute. To the dairyman the yield is perhaps the most importent. matter. In that re- spect the =whine compared favorably with the hand milking. From hand milk- ing the total yield, of four cows for thirty days tvas.,1,808.75 pounds, as against 1,000.25 pounds from the machine method, not intruding etripplings—a ferenee of 01.5 pounds, or 3.84 per cent., hi favor of the timeline. The experiments with -another hatch of four cows showed that the yinia of milk, not including strippings, amounted, for thirty daya to 1,278.7 pounds front the hand milking and. 1,282.0 pounds front mite...111ms milking a difference of 8.e pounds in favor of the machine. ille; *nide a machine milks cows clean or, at least, as clean as the average farm doce it, is of but little service to the dairyman. 'Ithis was made one of the features of the test, the milkern %stew - tions being net to fp, to extremes in either direction. The total strippings from the hand milkinge for four cows during thirty days was .68.35 pounds and arm* machine milking 61.00 pounds, or tt45 pounds teed for the machine.

Special care has to be exercised in adjusting the proper -sired teat cups to ellen cow, and amt. her important consid- eration that hears ntlus is to have the 'cows always tithe the eame places in the barn and to use teat cups in the same size at each milidag. The animals then become accustomed and reconciled to the cups and win milk (ileum It is of interest to note hew the milk- ing =thine affects a herd of cows the first time it is used. Some of the ani- mals are a little restless at first, owing to the sight of the mechinee and the clicking of the pulsatore, but soon they become quiet and reconciled. to their ac- tion. One feature winch is perhaps a little surprising is that heifers take to the machine as readily as the older cows. The majority of the cows appear lo like the 'mainlines, and stand. quietly chewing their cads without manifesting any dis- comfort. • ECZC.MA AGAIN OVERCOME ZAM-BUK CURES A CASE WHICH FOR TWO YEARS HAS DEFIED EVERY REMEDY TRIED.

A St, Louis oculist, chatting with friends about the ins and outs of his pro- feseion, said, that there were two lines of work which fol. professional reasons both the oeulist and, the optician would be glad to see widely encouraged. ()tie is music, particularly piano playing. "Have you ever noticed," said he, "that the pianist's head as he sits up- right at the piano is generally almost three feet from the mune? He reads at long range, This of itself is bad, in- volving as it does a continual strain upon the eyes. If the pianist only sat still, however, the Case would not be so bad, but very few do.

NATURE'S PRUNING RELIED ON BY THE FORESTER— ARTIFICIAL PRUNING COSTLY. One great difference between the for- ester's management of trees and that of the horticulturists or the arboriculturist lies in the manner of pruning. The hor- ticulturist does not trust the tree to grow as it pleases; he carefully directs and prunes the branches so that it will best serve the purpose intended. The forester leaves all this to nature; he trusts in what is called "natural Zam-Buk differs from ordinary soaves ,Iceyboaed—that is, to write without (pruning." His theory is this; that, in and. embrociations in. containing no ant. hooking at the keys—the eye strain ttho course of the growth of the trees, Id not be so severe f the light will be cut off from the lower branches of the trees as branches are formed higher up. In order to grow— indeed, in. order to live at all—these 'branches must have light; (whether they require much or little depends on the species of tree and other considerations.) Consequently, when the light is cut off from them, they cease to flourish and finally die. At the point where the dead branch joins the main stem of the tree new layers of wood are put on the tree, ow- ing to the yearly growth in diameter of tieothe main stem, and the dead branch is and the services of the optician would gradually weakened at this point until, THE SMALL GIRL FROM INDIA. be lessened very materially, but as it is through the action of the wind, the these two classes are a. great help, both 'whipping of other branches or some other cause, the branch is knocked from the tree. All that remains of that branch henceforth is the knot in the stein of the tree that is formed by that part of the branch that is still retained within the stem. In this way, as the tree grows it is cleared of branches to a greeter and greater height until finally there Is left a long stem, clear of branches to a height of fifty, sixty or even a hundred feet.

There is every evidence to show that un- til a few days before Easter he did not contemplate ;my such eventuality, For in the remarkable interview whioh he furnished to one of the editors of the Paris Temps who was visiting Cairo, he discussed. plans and peojects which he had in view for the present summer and , autumn in Egypt. It 3r3 said that the rela- tions between the Khedive and himself, which were already somewhat strained in the spring, had reached the breaking point at Easter. Then came the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Connaught to Cairo, whose reception by the Khedive and by the Egyptians is said to have been far less cordial than on former oc- casions. Then followed immediately the resignation of Lord Cromer. According to mum, we are on the eve of a deposi- tion of the Khedive, rendered necessary eby his recrudescence of hostility to- wards the English and Lord Cromer does not wish to be identified with what will practically constitute a reversal of much of his policy of the last quarter of a century. According to others, the Khe- dive complained bitterly of Lord Cro- mer's alleged autocratic ways to the Duke of Connaught, and received respon- ses from the Duke of a nature of which Lord Cromer did tot approve.

Plenty of Warm Comfort in Small Bulk the Prime Requisite. As (in ballooning) every pound lessen.s the soaring quality of the balloon, the traveler has to select his outfit with care. It is wise to have a short coat with plenty of pockets, and buttoning close round the throat when necessary; and the simplest and most practical tail- or-made suit of light wool should be worn. Light ehoes, like these used for tennis or yachting, are necessary, with a strong pair of boots in reserve in case of lnading in a mountainous distriot or hav- ing a long tramp at the end of one's journey. An umbrella is a desirable ad- junct—for the sun bites in the south— and a motor -veil for wind and warmth. A long, light Shetland scarf such as one uses in the Alps in bad. weather is useful In ease of sleet and eold. A small nece.ssaire, a "first aid," -a change of underwear, a light volume of fa,vorite author, a map, and a guide- book, should be taken. These 'should be wrapped in a light waterprof cover; for.
