Thi 'change cannot bo prevented, but L may be postponed ed byreducing Y p P the number of bacteria. The first means :of reduction is by oleanliness, carefully washing the milk vessels, and more attention to the glean condition of the cow. (Phe second means is by regale- - tion of temperature. When freshly drawn, milk is about 100. deg. a eg tem- perature favorable to the rapid growth of dairy bacteria. Cooling the milk immediately checks their growth greatly. 11 is necessary, however, to empha- size the need of immediate cooling, Half an hour or an hour after milking I the cooling will be of very much less value than if done at once. During this half hour the bacteria have atl- ready become very numerous. It sometimes happens that night's milk keeps better than that of the next morning because the night's milk was cooled at once, while sometimes the morning's milk is put into the cans at once and taken into the city without cooling. The two chief agencies to prevent souring then are oleanliuess and low temperatures. The same means will prevent all the other bac- terial growth whieh causes slimy milk, tainted milk and other peculiar condi- tions. I Milk from a healthy cow contains no bo true.

The question is : "What aro the necessary qualifications for an army nurse, and what are her duties 7 Are the army nurses and the Red Cross nurses the same?" Candidates for the army nursing service should apply to the 'Under Sec- retary of State, War Offiee, Pall Mall S. W. No nurse is appointed to this +, ~ service who is not between the ages g of Twenty-five and thirty-five, and has �1 had at least three years' preliminary training and service combined in a y civil general hospital. A candidate 4 must also produce unimpeachable references as to health and character. J On being nominated, the nurse un- dergoes a period of six months' pro- bation at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Kelley, oad will then probably, in times of peace, be employed at home. Later she will be sent for service abroad, and her period of such em- ployment is usually five years. The salary of a nursing sister 1s £30 for the first year of service, and rises byyear'ly additions of 22 until £50 a year is reached. Lodging, board, and washing are also provided, or an allowance in lieu of board and wash- ing. A senior nursing sister, acting as 'superintendent, receives £20 a year in addition to a nursing sister's salary. The highest post in the army nursing service 15 that of lady superintendent of nurses at Notley, and the salary of this post is about on a par with that of Lhe matrons of the most import- ant London hospitals. Army nurses aro obliged to retire at the age of sixty, but receive pensions. The Royal Red Cross is a aecora- tion, instituted in 1883, for rewarding zeal and devotion in providing for and nursing sick and wounded sailors, soldiers and others with the armyin the field, on board ship, or in hospital. Tho greater number of women upon whom the decoration has been confer- red have been army nurses, though a not insignificant proportion are ladies who have rendered serv100 to British soldiers and sailors in various ways unconnected with the regular military nursing organization. t The order was founded for the pur- pose of publicly acknowledging the value of "Red Chose" work, by whioh is primarily understood work perform ed by voluntary seeleties organized for the relief of the sick and wounded 10 war, In several of tbo chief countries of Europe, Red Cross societies have ex - feted for many years, .and in Great T Britain the work of various societies to directed by the Central British ltd Grose Committee, which has boon termed with the sanction of the Seo- t ret.ary of State for War. 'Thus it will I be seen that, though an army nurse may receive the Enyal Red Cross, and t may be said, by virtue of her service, 1 to be engaged in Red Oross wade, a $ -Red Cross nurse is not necessarily a a Member eel the army nursing service, but may be engaged by a voluntary b society, altirnngh she will be required 1 AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL SUFFERERS FROM ANAEMIA AND KINDRED TROUBLES. Or. Vin. Wilson, of Sarnia, Tells clow Ile Regained tlw4;h Atter 511 Illness of Over Two Tears. Mr. William Wilson, who is well known to the citizens of Sarnia, Ont„ writes: "It affords me much pleasure to be able to add my testimony to the great benefit that 1 have derived from your famous Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It is now a little more than two years since I became afflicted with anaemia. During that time I have received almost continuous treatment from medical man of the highest rank in their profession, yet apparently deriving no benefit. In- deed I continued to grow worse until I became unable to walk. 1 Dame to the conclusion that I wee deriving no benefit from the treatment and de- cided to give it up. It then was the question, what shall 1 try? Having read the testimony of so many wbo had suffered in a similar manner and who hied received great benefit from your Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I decid- ed to give them a fair trial. "It is now about three months since 1 commenced to take your pills and to -day I feel almost completely re- stored. Two weeks after I began to take the pills I felt a decided im- provement. Three months ago when I began to take your pills my flesh looked like wax, and my face, feet,, and logs were badly ewolienn These (tendinous have all disappeared and mo' t is n e the under parte of the o0 before milking and if he will raja the first one or two jets of milk fro each teat, be will greatly reduce the number of baoteria which get into the milk when milking and thus improve its quality and keeping powers.

The seeds once in the ground live for years and continue to germinate as they are brought to the surface. If they are present in small amounts, hand pulling is the best method of eradication. When the field is badly infested, the ground should be her_ rowed or gang -plowed soon after har- vest, As soon as the seeds have sprouted, cultivate thoroughly and .at repeated intervals. Rib up with a double mold board plow late h the fall. Put in a hoed crop the follow- ing spring and cultivate thoroughly throughout the growing season. Cul- tivate and harrow after the crap is off and plow again with a double mold board plow. Sow the ground the next spring and seed with clover, pulling the weeds by'band out of the grain crop, After one or two crops of hay are cut, rotate again in the same way. ;TREATMENT OF HORSE COLIC, Forty years' practice as a pountry physloian has compelled; me to give advice for the farmers' sick animals, writes Dr. A. G. Chase. Whisky is the very wont thing that can be given, unless it is bicarbonate of soda. The only remedy that need ever be given if used in any reasonable time is spirits of ether. One-half ounce of this in a pint of warm water sweet- ened, repeated in half to three-quar- ters of an hour if needed, is all Ihave ever found necessary. I never lost but one ease, and in that one a half pint or more of whisky had been given a couple of hours before I saw the horse, whioh died within five minutes of my arrival, Ill the absence of the ether, 2 cz of sweet spirits of niter May be used with equal success. This i is the spirits of nitrous ether and may' be given in warm water as with ether. In the absence of anything better, hot water internally and externally Ls proper treatment.

ADDRESSES BY DAIRY EXPERTS. The reports include many addresses of interest and praotioal value deliv- ered at the annual meetings by prom- inent men who have had a wide ex- perience in dairying, and by scienti- fic experts who have devoted much attention to the subject in its differ - earl phases. Among those who spoke or furnished papers were; D. Derby- shire, President of the Eastern Asso- ciation; J. H. Grisdale, J. W. Hart, J. W. Newman, Prof. H. II. Dean, G. G. Publow, Harold Eagle, J. W. John- son, Hon, Thos. Ballantyne, A. F. Mc- Laren, M.P., A. W. Campbell, Dr. W. T. Connell, Andrew Patello, M.P.P., Or James Fletcher and Miss Laura Rose. Many of the addresses gave rise (to interesting discussions, in which the points brought out were thoroughly oousidered. Among other questions oousidered was the profitable dispos- al of the by-products, which it was urged could be utilized by the raising of pork tend whioh should go hand in hand with the dairy industry, contri- buting greatly to economy in the pro- cess. The preparation of cheese and butter for the market also received due attention. , Four essays, two on cheese making and two on butter making are also published, the writers of whioh were the nueeeisfal °onlpe- tters among 07 who wrote papers In Order to iseeere the pries, aurount- lug to the aggregate to $200, offer- ed by the Western Assoaiatioor for the best essays on these subjeots, The luoky prize winners were Colin A, Campbell and A. 3, Wagg, Who treat- ed of cheese -making and J, 112.
