To get the advantage of full market

portant than the style of the cases and
:packing. Of course size and cleanness
are very important considerations, but
the first thing that strikes the eye of a
purchaser is the exterior quality. I
noti’ée‘ many lots of eggs, especially
from the south, which come into the
stores in a] sorts of casesv-rscarcely

trim. These goods are generally con-
demned before tl‘f‘eyare looked at and
can only be sold at a concession, no
matter how good the eggs may be
Shippers may accept it as a fact that
while all eggs in first-class packages

Important Advice.
It is surprising how many peo-
ple wake up in the morning near-
1 as tired as when they went to
lied, a disagreeable taste in their
mouth, the lips sticky, and the
breath ofi’ensi've, with a coated
tongue. These are nature’s first
warnings of Dyspepsia and Liver Dis-
orders, but if the U. 5. Army 65* Navy
Tablets are resorted to at this
stage, they will restore the system
to a healthy condition. A few
doses will do more for a weak or
sour stomacb and Constipatimz than
aprolonged course of any other
medicine. _

MAXIMS FOR MILKERS.
ome- ol Them Are Old, Others New,
'But All of Thom Arc ‘Vurthy of
Serious Consideration.
"he hands of the mill-.‘ers should“ be
clean and as soft as possible. To bring
this about wash them in warm water
and use soap. Do this: just before you
begin work. . "
Have a name for every cow, and call
her by that name, spoken in an easy ’
conversational but firm voice.
When cows come from pasture the
boss co ' will lead and the others will
follow. Milk the boss cow first and so
on down to the underling.
Follow the same rule when cows are
stabled, not only in milking, but in
feeding.
Brush off the udder dry, and follow
this up with adamp cloth. Do not wash
the udder with cloth and water unless
there is accumulated dirt which will
not yield to the first kind of cleans—
ing.
Never feed the cows while milking.
If they are hungry, feed before milk-
ing; otherwise, feed after the milking
is done. The cows will wrestle with their
mess, and, being uneasy, they will step,
stop the flow of milk and perhaps kick
over the pail.
It is best to have a, solid seat when
milking. A stool with only a. single
foot is unsafe, because, if the animal
stirs at all, in order to balance him-
self the milker will use the tent for a
support.- . .
By putting his hand softly on the
hip of the cow, she will learn to put
back her foot. Then take hold of the
hind teat and then take the near front
one, which gives most room for both
hands.
Milk as fast as possible, without
shocking or irritating the animal. The
process is agreeable to the cow, and
she will stand still until the udder is
relieved.
Never milk with thumb and finger;
it is slower work and will incline the
cow to hold back the flow of milk, and
thus hasten her going dry. Stripping
is not allowed in good dairying.
Never wet fingers or hand in the
milk; it, is a. nasty habit and ought not
to be tolerated or practiced.
Never converse with other milkcrs—
if there are any. The noise made by
the milk will hinder you from under-
standing and you will have to stop and
explain, etc.. all of which is contrary,
to good work. The humming of a soft
tune to the rhythm of the milking" is
allowable, yes, more than that, desir-
able, because the cows like it; at-least,
most- of them do.
Milch cows and fattening stock
should never be driven out of an easy;
walk; you have no use for a dog, ex-
cept possibly a. trained Scotch collie.
Such a dog will bring the cows home
as quietly and as regularly as a. boy,
and generally make less fuss. The
cows soon learn when the dog comes
that they must start for the yard, and
the gate being open, they will go in
and generally find aparticular place for
rest and for the milking—Charles W.
Murtfeldt, in St. Louis Republic.

is hinged or stapled to the windowsill,
but so loosely that it. can rise and fall
to let the ice slide into the building.
There was a time, and that not. many
years ago, when ice. was an almost
unknown quantity in farmers’ homes
in the summer, but. the increased in-
terest in dairying and. improved meth-
ods of dairying have changed all this,
and ice has come to be a necessity on
all farms where butter is made in any
quantity. But 'there is no reason why
all farmers, whether interested in dai-
rying or not, should not provide this
luxury for the use of their families in
hot weather. It is easily secured and
easily housed, and its use in hot weath—
er will save the housewife much worry
and trouble in keeping fresh meat. etc.

Co-Operatlon in Dairy \Vork.
The cooperative dairy in Minnesota,
Litchfield district, is an encouraging
venture. Even the conservative farm-
ers admit- that it is a good thing. A
number of farmers living along the
same road take turns carrying the
milk for each other. Immediately
the milk is weighed, a sample tested,
and check given showing weight,.which
entitles the; farmer to a certain weight
of skim-milk and buttermilk. He can
take this back with him, no long wait
is involved. ,They get the pay for the
cream later. The dairying has largely
' increased, thus enabling the farmers to
secure more fertilizing for their land.
They get- better prices, and the. value of
land also has almost doubled, to say
nothing of the saving in labor and care
to the farmers’ wives.

MODERN MEANING OF GUN.
The “ford Is More Often Applied to
the Great Engines
of Death.
“The evolution of the word ‘gun’
forms an interesting study in up-to-
date etymology,” remarked one of a
party of newspaper men, says the New
Orleans TimesJDemocrat. “A dozen or
so years ago we all understood gun to
mean a. fowling piece—a shotgun as dis-
tinguished from a rifle or a musket.
Heavy and light ordnance, in fact all
pieces of artillery, without regard to
size, were known as cannon. That, of
course, was where people made an eff
fort to speak English. Out- in the
frontier the word gun was applied ex-
clusively to pistols.
“Nowadays the nomenclature has
curiously changed. By degrees the
good old word gun has become monop-
olized by the long, slim, murderous ma-
chines that constitute our modern ar-
tillery. We speak of quick-fire guns,
eight-inch, ten-inch, twelve-inch guns,
and the word seems singularly apropos.
They are not cannon. ‘Cannon’ imme-
diately suggests the big, lumbering,
black-throated, smooth-bores of the
past. The word conjures up all sorts of.
curious antique pictures —— swabbers
naked to the waist, motionless men
holding lighted matches, frigates
other’s ports, Sepoys bound to. the
muzzle, neat geometric pyramids of
round shot in neat geometric forts, the
charge of the Light Brigade, and lots of
other things too numerous to men-
tion.” ‘
Soldier and Courtler.
Lord Kitchener, of Khartoum, is a
straightforward soldier, but he does no:
scorn the art of turningacompliment
gracefully.
It has long been said of him that he
is proof against all feminine charms,
and when he waited upon her majesty
at Windsor, the queen was curious
enough to put a pointed question. ‘
“Is it true. my 10rd,” she asked. “that
you have never yet cared for woman 1’"
“Yes. your majesty.” replied the sir-
dar. “quite true—with one exception.”
“All!" said the queen, .“and who is
she '3"
The sirdar bowed. “Your majesty."

The Saltlng of Butter.
Butler taken from the churn in gran:
ular form will take the salt more even-
ly than if gathered into a lump, besides
which the milk can be more thoroughly
separated. Tastes differ as to the
amount of salt, but this is not essential
to the keeping qualities of butter; any-
where from one-half ounceor more will
keep it if lhe milk is out of it. For lay-
ing down a stone jar is as good as any-
thing; press the layer down as solid as
possible, then sprinkle a handful of
salt over to keep the next layer from
sticking. A cloth. may be put between
the layers, but it islnot essential.

8 WRONG SIfiE Gila—THE COW.
An Artistic Blemish That “’as Over;
looked by Many in a De-
troit Painting.
“It has always seemed to me,” says a
writer in the Detroit Free Press, “that
the pictorial artist should pay just a
little attentionto truth and nature. Now
there is a. picture in a certain Detroit
art store before which for some time
mire. The subject matter is excellent.
There is o. barnyard, with the usual ac»,
companiment 'of ‘hens and ducks. A
dog sits on the step of the cornerib,
and in the ‘ immediate foreground
stands a pretty, speckled bossy.
“A pictorial dairy maid is milking
bossy. She is a. charming creature, the
dairy maid. Her hands are not. big and
coarse; her knuckles are not swollen,
and her fingers do not resemble dill
pickles. She is just a. daisy dairy maid
4—but, saints alive! she’s on the wrong
side of the cow.
“Nonchalantly she sits on the left of
the animal and milks, milks, milks.
She looks, the while, around the land4
scape and smiles at the hens. Now,if
the truth be known, that dairy maid
wouldn’t be on the left side of that
meek-looking bossy longer than two
minutes. Her head would be kicked
off.”
Freaks 0! Explosions.
Gunpowder explosions have one re-
markable feature. Thebodics of per-
sons killed in such an accident are
always found without ’clothing, but
frequently one foot will have the shoe
on. This is true of horses also. If
one of the feet is in the air and‘an-
other on the ground, the shoe Will
be found torn from the foot that was
-on the ground, and not from the
other. When men are killed in pow-.
der explosions the foot that happened
to be in the air when the shock came
will be found wearing the shoe, while
the other foot will be bare.

since Zittel wrote, in 1895: “The prob-

geology and anthropology, up till now
found no solution.” Dr. Dubois has re-

remains of a man-like animal in Java,
styled by him Pit-hecanthropus erectus,
associated with extinct Pliocene mam-
mals. These Javan remains would
seem to indicate an anthropoid of ex

ably of exceptional faculties. Dubois’
discovery is, however, as yet a single, _‘
step, founded upon a single skeleton.
