THE BUNDLE OF LIFE Rev. Dr. Talmage Inspired by a Familiar and Homely Simi'e. The Thing* Which Go to Make Do Man's Earthly and Heavenly ExistenceThey Are Bound Together In the Divine Economy. Washington, March 6. Under the teiuili.tr Image of u bundle l>r Talmage how* in Mils MTiniin tin- ilnn/-. which go to make up man's eartbly ami heaven- , ly life; tort. I Samuel rxv, 89, "The *>ul of my I<ord shall be bouiitl la the biinOle at life with the lord thy God." limutlfiil Abigail, in her rhythmic pirn for the nwcue of hr inebriate husband, who diisl within i<-ii tl.iv*. ililn-*e David the warrior in the word* of the tort She mio-gmts that hU life, physloal- ly And intellectually Mill tipiril u.illy, U a valuable package or bundle, divinely bouud up and to lie divinely protoc.tod. That phntiwi "bundle of life" I heard many time* In niy father's family pray- er* Kainlly prayerH, you know, have frnquout repetitions.

That familiar prayer becomes the household liturgy. I would not give one of my old father's prayer* for 50 elocutionary sup- plications. Aftaln and again. In the moruiiiK and evening prayer, 1 heard the n|iir.tt that we might all b bound up In the bundle of life, but I did not know until a few day* ago that the phra** wa* Bible pin-use Now, the more I think of U the better I like U Bundlu of life!

Bvery effort is made to keep the stay MM clean and the stalls well bedded and to have as little dnat floating at the time of milking as possible. To ac- complish this latter point the feeding is done after rather than before th*) milking. The handling of the hay. en- silage or even grain fills the atmos- phere foil of dnst and carries with it ' millions npoc millions of germs, many , f which will fail into the milk and net only canse it to soar, bnt will de- velop undesirable fcvon in the butter and cheese made from it Tbe hay bay cillns, a germ that has great tenacity ol life, ex in to in immense quantities in cored hay. and when allowed to de- velop unchecked in ripening cream win caoee the butter to have very dis- agreeable, offensive flavor. j Before beginning to milk, says Pro* fesaor Otis, each milker sees that his lands are clean, not merely that the/ , look clean, but are as free aa pos-i sible from germs. For this purpose it is often necessary to wash in hot water previous to milking Each milker is provided with a canton flannel cloth, \ which is moistened and nsed to wipe off the sides and adder of the cow This re- mows the loose particles of dnst and moistens the reet so that they will not so readily fall into the milk bucket ( These cloths, as well as the cloth strain- , ers.are thoroughly washed and sterilized ith boiling water after each milking. Tbe milk pail nut-d is called the "san- itary dairy pail " It is made of heavy rtti and la covered on top. In this cover is six inch hole, into which fits a cir- cular removable strainer. The milk is) milked directly into thi* strainer. This style of milk pail keeps ont cf the milk the dnat and hairs that fall in spite of tho precautions already mentioned. Any . one doubting the desirability of each a milk [wul need donbt no longer aft** once Meeting the appearance of the pail Htt. r milking In spite of the best pre- i-iiut inns, the top of the pail will be covered with nnmerons hairs and dost pai uclti*. enough to spoil the digestion of any man if be only knew what he was swallowing when be drinks the milk ont of an open milk pail Each cow's milk is weighed, sampled ml again t rained through a wire trainer and tin.-iNy through fonr thick- neiwea of diet-welt >th. This wire strata- ' er M BO constructed that the milk Is trained on an upward pressure. Any particles of dirt remaining in the milk and settling to the bottom will not be forced through the (trainer by the pres- sure of the milk above. From the checxe cloth strainer the milk is received into 40 quart milk can*. We have twc styles of cans, the Mew York and the Chicago. We prefer the former for two reasons. In the tirs* place the lid is oval and will not colled dnst like the lid of the Chicago can and can be cleaned much easier. In the see- , ond place, when it U desired to keep the milk any length of time the New York can may be immersed in water, j The lid projects below the top of the , oaii. and the prownre of the air inside keeps the water from the milk, on the aim* principle as the cans of the Cooley creamer. The milk is brought to the dairy room as soon as rntssible after being milked and strained and is aerated aV half run at time with the Hill aura-, tor. A tin pipe projects above the roof of the dairy room, where fresh air is scared and conducted through absorb- ent cotton, to remove any germs or) dnst particles, into bellow*, where it U forced through the milk. Any one standing near the can of milk while this operation is being performed can- not fail to notice the cowy odor that is given off. This U kept np until the ani- mal odor is removed. In this way near- 1 ly all the taints in milk not due to) germs can be removed, and it has beeni found by experience that milk is much , more digestible after being aerated. After ration the milk is cooled over' Star or Champion cooler to between 50 aud *0 degree* F.. at which temper- ature, it is kept nntil delivered to the college dining ball or the creamery or ' warmed np for the separator. When ' separation taken place immediately after milking, the inilk goes directly from the aerator to thu Heparator without be- ing cooled D*w Oflr- to Feed Cow*. The cow is a rnimnant animal, and this mean* that she takes time to digest her food in the mont thorough manner, f If fed liberally in ;ht and morning and' in sufficient variety, she will eat more heartily than if three full meals are offett .1 to her per day At nocn a few oornatalkB or clover hay may be given.
