The medical profession ought to thrive | in Afghanistan, for fevers are very prevo lent, and the people are also subject to & peculiar disease of the eye.
At Ghanzi, in Afghanistan, which is over 7,000 feet above the sea level, the cold in winter is intense, and it is nothing un- common for the inhabitants to be snowed up in their houses for months at a stretch.
the Afghans are not passionately fond of soap and water, though they wash their
hands b ‘ce and alter meals. They fer using their fingers in place of knives and forks and change their garments about once a month.
The origin of the empire of Afghanistan was due to an accident arising cut of the sudden and unexpected acquisition of vast wealth. In its earlier days the internal resources of the country yielded little or nothing to the imperial treasury, and the state coffers were replenished by plunder- ing expeditions into India.
The Afghans are a fine race, of splendid physique, but of corrupt morals. One candid writer sums them up as perfidious, avaricious, selfish, revengeful, merciless, treacherous, idle, proud, vain and cruel, and it must be admitted, in view of Eng- land’s experience with the country, that the writer's statement is pretty pear the mark.

Dairy and Creamery.
When you buy buiter coler, be sure that it is not an aniline preparation. There is a butter color on the market which is made of aniline and which is a deadly poison. It killed a child that accidentally swallowed a portion of it recently.
Above all, farmers must be made to understand that good butter and cheese cannot be made from dirty or tainted or unaerated milk. Thisis the law and the prophets.
If a cheese has become moldy on the outside, wash it in very hot water into which you have first poured a little am- monia.
There is no sight more pleasing to gois, men or angels than a shining elean creamery or dairy without any slop, dust, spider webs, mold, rust, rot- tenness, bad smells or filth anywhere to be seen.

<> THE MANAGER.
How Mueh Pay Should a Creamery Super- intendent Receive?
The Creamery Journal] sent letters of inquiry to a large number of creamery managers asking ,how much pay they got and whether they thought they rs- ceived enough money for their services. The answers showed in almost every case that the manager received no ade- zuate compensation for the large round of duties requirsd of him. A creamery manager cannot be successful unless he gives his whole time to the factory, and that he cannot do unless he has salary enough to support him and his family in comfort and have something left ower. Either he must neglect the cream- ery or Tet his family go half fed and clothed.
The Creamery Journal says on this subject and on one or two other impor- tant points:
The subject is of great importance, as many students of the co-operative system as carried on in this country at present agree that it is a dangerous rock on which many a creamery has been stranded.
The question is, Is it possible to eon- duct a business involving the manufac- ture of, say, $50,000 worth of a delicate and perishable product properly and without loss year after year at an ex- pense for supervision and management of from $75 to $360 a year? Would any individual conducting a business of similar magnitude in any line intrust the management of it toan employee so poorly paid for his services? Is it rea- sonable to expect a farmer who has his
-own farm to look after(as mest of them
have) to devote his best energies and thought to the management of a cream- ery, assuming all of the responsibilities of the office year after year, for the mis- erable pittance of $75 per annum?
A prominent New York buyer and exporter tells us that while in Chicago recently he sent out 22 telegrams to co- operative creamery mauagers, making them an offer of from one-fourth to one- half cent per pound more than they were getting for their product and re- questing an answer by wire. He re- ceived in the course of two days two replies, one by letter and the other by telegraph. He wanted to contract for a large amount of goods and with a re- sponsible house back of him, and au- thority to pay a price that would glad- ly be snapped up by any good business man, he felt confident that he could quickly do the business.
Why did the secretaries not reply? Why were they and why are they in nine cases out of ten indifferent to any kind of a business proposition which in- volves their personal responsibility?

ashamed of. Our champion cow of past year’s butter yield gave 7,300 pounds of 5.6 per cent milk, or 408 pounds fat. We get a 15 per cent gain over test in churn, so this cow has been fairly prof- We have six others that have Our highest testing cow reaches 7.6, but her limit in milk is 18 pounds per day. The best 2-year-old heifer gave 6,223 pounds cf 5.2 per cent milk, or an average of over one pound of butter per day. These reo- ords were made with only ordinary care or such care as balance of herd got. Our herd of 28 to 80 cows and heifers have averaged one pound of butter each per day for the past year.
We keep a set of records so complete that any cow or heifer can be traced back to her calfhood, and not only her milk yield is accounted for, but any pe- culiarity she may have is recorded for our own benefit and also for those who may have her in charge in the future. —Buff Jersey in Hoard’s Dairyman.
Dairy and Creamery.
Vegetable gardeners have found thers is refuse enough on their farms to feed several cows, and that keeping them pays well im connection with the added fertility which the cow brings to the soil. A butter factory in the vicinity of a large tract of vegetable gardens is the right thing. Where there is no cream- ery and the vegetable raisers have a re- tail trade they can add delicious butter, cream and pot cheese to their goods and make money in two ways.
A milk aerator ig a necessity on every farm where cows are kept. So is a milk cooler.
An expert declares that after a butter tub has once becorme moldy it is impos- sible even by steaming and sandpaper- ing ever to clean and purify it again.
Put up in big letters at the entrance to every door in the creamery or in your miikroom if you keep a private dairy, likewise in the cow stable, the sign, ‘‘No smoking.”’
The co-operative creamery at Shafer,
Minn.,. is a most successful one, selling.
some months over 8,000 pounds of but- ter. During last June its patrons got 14 gents a pound for their butter, and the
creamery used up 750,000 pounds of’
milk.
When cheese is in the curing room,,
every day when you turn it brush all
the surface over very thoroughly and; stiffly to rub off any eggs of the cheese
fiy that may have been deposited there. The cheese fly is fond of laying its eggs in eracks, and these must be very care- fully watched. If skippers make their appearance in these cracks in spite of your care, cut the walls of the crack entirely out to remove every eyz: or
skipper. Then get some soft cheese amd
fi}) the crack out even with the suniaea.
