CARROLL Lawyer with West McHenry State Brery Wednesday 8 * McHenry, miosis Milking cows Is being done in a n«w way by experts of the United States Department of Agriculture at the dairy experiment farm in Maryland and the plan being used may have several advantages for Minnesota dairymen, in the opinion of Dr. C. H. Eckles, chief of the dairy division, University Farm. St Paul. This plan involves driving the cows to the milking machine, instead of taking the machine to the cows. A mechanical milking unit of standard make is used, but Instead of the usual portable receptacle for the milk, it Is drawn into a stationary contain er located between two stalls. Cows are driven into the milking stalls from the rear and instead of being tied or stanchioned they are detained by tnov able gates placed in front of the stalls. These can be opened from the rear by the operator after each cow is milked, allowing her to move on and another bossy to take her place. Doctor Eckles thinks the idea Is well worth considering for dairymen who are contemplating building new barns and particularly, so for farmers who wish to go into tlie dairy business, utilizing buildings which they already have, but which are not equipped for dairying. For instance, a man who is raising beef cattle might easily and cheaply konvert his place into a dairy farm by ifitting up a mall milking plant along the lines described above, using the regular sheds or shelters for dairy cows and driving them to the special tstalls for milking. Large herds of dairy cows may he sheltered together ^Without stanchions providing they are dehorned and the sheds kept well bedded. Doctor Eckles would favor having enough milking stalls to permit the cows to remain in them while eating their grain. Feeding the cows their grain Individually at milking time enables the dairyman to adjust the amount of grain to milk flow and also attracts the cows to the milking stalls. Beside being a relatively cheap way to equip a farm for dairying, this new system would make it easier to keep the milking quarters clean because of their smaller size. Doctor Eckles says. Sweet Clover Excellent Ration for Dairy Cows Cows may be pastured on sweet clover as readily as on clover or alfalfa. Care must be taken at first to turn them on only when the clover is dry and only for an hour or two for ;4he first few days until the cows are accustomed to the clover. Sweet clover Is best seeded in the Spring with oats or barley. The growth is slow at first, but In favorable years and on good soil it may be pastured lightly the first fall after the grain is harvested. Sweet clover is a biennial. The main crop comes, the Second year, when it should be pastured off closely, as the plant then |Hes. The best practice is, of course, to have two pieces, seeding one each year, end plowing up the land after the main crop has been pastured off. Unless It grows wild in your neighborhood, seed Inoculation will undoubtedly be a benefit It Is doubtful If sweet clover that is sown In the fall with rye or wheat would make sufficient growth to carry It through the winter and be strong enough to make a vigorous growth in the spring. Mohawk Indian Has Only Dot as Companion. Albany, N. V.--A few hundred feet from Albany, a city of more than 100,' 000 persons, Floyd H. Hitchcock, a fullblooderi Mohawk Indian, has made his home. Like his forefathers, "Flower of the Swamps," his Indian name, lives in a wigwam with only a dog as a companion. Five years ago Hitchcock decided he'd live his present life. Prior to that he married an Irish girl, who bore him two sons. Both now are members of the, Albany police force. "This Is in* life," he declared. "It Is the life 1 love; the life of the forest and the streams. I am happy here, more than I would be in the city. I was brought up as an Indian runner, |o follow the mark of the cherry tree, by an old Indian who bore the name •Flower of the Swamps,* which I have adopted as my own." The fifty-five-year-old Indian's homo is located on the fringe of a woods only 300 feet from the Dominican monastery. An old oak tree, which once marked an Indian trail, is nearby. "Flower ©f the Swamps" lost his parents yhen quite young, and an old Iroquois brought him up as a runner. However, he later drifted among the whites and worked as a painter, laborer, bridge worker and finally as a stage driver for the government tie arrived in Albany In 1905 and married. r Seven years ago he and his wife separated. He is unwilling to discuss his family affairs. "This is my real life. I shall never go back to the old." On the Funny Side THE DIFFERENCE "What's the trouble?" asked Jones, when one of his most popular jokes failed to score a chuckle. "Let me see," said the solemn one, thoughtfully. "I've got to buy some flowers, some chocolates, and the theater tickets, and--" "Doing mental arithmetic?" asked his friend. "Sentimental arithmetic," sighed the young man sadly. BAD LUCK AND WORSE Radium Used to Defects of the Eye Baltimore.--Dr. William Holland Wilmer, head of the Wllmer Eye Institute of Johns Hopkins hospital, has found a new use tor radium in treating physical defects of the eye. The radium, used In very small quantities, has been found effective in treatment of obscured vision blurred through formation of scar tissue in the corner. "This use of radium," a preliminary report says, "Is In the pioneer stages, but it has been found to hasten the absorption of scar tissue and to restore a high degree of clarity to the sight of many patients." Some of the Instruments used are so delicate and sensitive to vibration that engineering experts were employed to design the bases for them. To reduce this vibration to a minimum, solid concrete piers, such as might be required for a skyscraper or a bridge abutment, have been sunk just to support instruments of compaiv atlvely little weight Trap Rare Tarantula in Hole in Beach Sanl Washington.--A hole in the sand made by the high heel of a woman walking along the water's edge near Chesapeake beach, Maryland, was the trap in which Herbert Barber, of th«*, Smithsonian institution of Washington found a very rare tarantula known as the "lost Atypus." This species of spider, the scientific name for which is "Atypus bicolor,* is a velvety jet black and the lees are bright orange. Only two specimens had ever been caught by scientists previously. One of these was found a few years ago at Plummers island, Maryland. Dairy Hints Cows like to breathe fresh air.

Just as soon as the winter snows disappear and the warm, sun penetrates the woodlands it dries up the dead leaves and underbrush scattered on the ground at the base of every tree, making ready kindling for a carelessly dropped cigarette, cigar, lighted match or other fire dealing weapon. There is nothing on this earth more valuable to the welfare of our natural resources and wild life than the forests. Everything depends upon our trees. Without foliage the wild game would soon disappear, as their cover and protection would be gone. Streams and small lakes would soon dry up and the moisture of the ground would be absorbed by the dry soil and result in the ruination or every blade of grass and second growth timber surrounding the territory affected. Fires each year bring a loss in the neighborhood of $33,000,000, to say nothing of the vast amount of loss to our natural outdoor beauty from scenic standpoint. The Iraak Walton League of America has long sponsored a nation-wide program to place the forest fire hazard at a minimum. Local chapters of the League have organized fire fighfeing brigades in many territories and their alert efforts have been responsible for the elimination of disastrous fires on several occasions. The necessity of forest fire pre vention should be broadcast in every community. Campers and travelers through leaving burnt embers, dropping matches, setting old Stumps afira and neglecting to smother the smouldering ashes have caused the loss of thousands of dollars worth of timber. Save the trees for posterity and help protect America's natural beauty and wild life. It's up to you.
