Curing a Kicking Cow. 'Kvory once in 11 while I boo In nt. agricultural napcr an nrtlclo on how to euro kicking cow'.s. With a kick ing cow that has tho hahlt well form ed, no art will avail, at least when thero Is a new milker. 1 have handled n great many kicking cows, and am absolutely of tho opinion that a cow must hecomo acquainted with her milker beforo ho can even hopo to euro her of tho propensity, and then tho euro will exist only so long as tho milker remains with her. When ever a now milker appears tho habit will revive. I havo known of kicking cows that havo been milked by tho same milker for years and would not allow themselves to be milked by any other person unless they wcro so thoroughly tied up with ropes that they could not move. Tho best meth od of curing a cow of tho kicking habit is to use gcntloncss. Tho milk er must develop tho power to hold his temper under all conditions. Even then, if the cow is like somo that 1 havo known, he will find it to his ad vantage to restrain her by a ropo put around her legs In tho form of a lig uro "8." This should bo placed around tho logs just abovo tho bend of the legs. The ropo should bo loop ed at ono end and tho looso end passed through tho loop, completing tho flguro eight. The rest of the looso end can Ho in tho lap of the milker. Tho friction of the ropo In tho loop will hold tho figure eight In place, and if tho cow attempts to kick, it will glvo only so gradually that she cannot deliver a blow. If it is made fast sho will feel herself under re straint and perhaps become excited and throw horsclf. I found this to bo nno of the best methods for saving tho milker from the kick of tho cow. John Stinson, Bureau Co., 111., In Fanners' Review. Detecting Formaldehyde in Milk. When men began to uso preserva tives in milk, they used various sub stances that could bo easily dotectcd by tho chemists. Repressive laws, however, made. It dilllcult to uso somo of these preservatives, and tho manufactururs of preservatives set their chemists at work to find somo substanco that could not bo detected by other chemists. Thoy hit upon formalin, or formaldehyde, tho latter being a combination of formalin and water. For a long tlmo tho chemists were unablo to detect this In tho milk as no means was known of showing tho formalin. 13ut by a largo number of experiments things woro at last discovered that would show tho pres ence of formnlin. Tho French havo just hit upon a now way of detecting it at once and without any question. Thoy Hrst add acetic or lactic acid to tho milk, and this precipitates tho essoin. This leaves a liquid that may bo niterod. To this nilrato is added a fow crystals of amidol. Tho watftr of tho liquid then becomes a ilowery green. Tho test Is so accurato that If thero Is proscnt In tho milk ojily ono part of formaldchydo to half a mil lion parts of milk, tho test will show It. The Cow Owner.

Some Sanitary Bosh Sanitation sometimes stands on its head and becomes Insanity. This Is a phase of midsummer madness, one may suspect, when a leading medical journal warns us against "the danger of contracting dlsoaso from Imper fectly polished doorknobs. So many germs in the householder's hands, so much for his knob. How many door knobs are there In tills happy Island? Give each citizen two doorknobs a very meager estimate, for ho proTJrtbly touches a dozen a day and they will run Into millions. Is there a record anywhere of a disease caught from one of those thousands of millions of door knob turns In any single year? To this vr!ter the question is of some lntercst; for, if door knobs aro unsanitary, thero aro other things that should bo fatal.

In four weeks from tho Unio I started taking them I was able'to mnko my garden. No body can know how thankful I am to bo cured or how much I feel I owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills."
