"Tell us, tell us, wee Bacillus, What, and wiry, and whence you are.' It is a pity that dairy farriers in the aggregate know just enough about bacteria in milk to balk at the sound of the word, like a nervous high-strung ihcrse at a newspaper blowing across the road. If these lit tle disturbances of the peace of the dairy world were better understood, they would lose much of thieir terror. They have always existed, they do and will exist, and the best way to get along im the dairy business is to study their habits and just see that tihey are kept out of the milk-that is, those which are harmful to irnilk and its users. iWhieai' the cow makes her milk she does not funnislh any bacteria, with, it. That is not necessary, as fthey are ready amd anxious to appear nn large numbers if the farmer wdH al low it. The thrifty, forehanded' farmer does not let the rats get into, hi grain bins, bceau.se he knows they will eat the grain; he does mot let his hay loft roof leak, becausie he knows his hay will mould; he does not have cracks im. his silo, because he knows the silage will spoil if he does; he does not keep his packle jb-amrel im.- the kitchen, with the range going full tilt, because he knows the beef or pork will spoil. The rare-cautions of tight grain bans, sil os or loft roofs, and a cold cellair for the 'brine barrel are matters of ordinary routine. He knows) tihq cause find effect and pro-'ldes ahead Process should be just the same with bacteria and milk. Some of these hurt the hnalk itself; some harm the. drinker of the milk; other hurt "both and still others hurt neither. A bacterium is really a tiny plant, so tiny it can be seen only under the highest power microscope.

They reproduce either by "fission," which is simply dividing into two or more parts, or by forming "spores' or breeding cells. Tfnese tiny plants find in milk a most congenial and comfortable place to multiply with food moisture, and unless the milk iskept at a low temperature, warmth. There are many kinds of bacteria, but the most common are the sour ing or lactic acid bacteria; the pu trefactive kind, wtheih make bad 'flav ors and gas; the; pathogenic or dis ease,germs and number which cause specific troubles such as rcpiness, bit terimess., etc. The putrefactive and pathogenic bacteria are the black sheep of the flock. The former come from dust aaid dirt, including manure; the lat ter come from the handling of milk by persons who have had contagious or infectious diseases1, or who have themselves been near diseased per son;aliso from diseased cattle, from dust, or from water whSch may have been infected amd is used in wash ing dairy utensiils. The putrefactive germs come generally from dust and dart, including manure. The lactic acid bacteria, which can not grow in milk cooled to 4o de grees Fahr., but which thrive vigor ously between 90 and 98 degrees in Fahr., are those which make milk sour through their action on the sugar of milk, which converts it into lactic acid. It is most desirable that they should be kept off the milk, whiich is to be used for drinking, feeding children, or cooking; while for butter and cheesemaking they must be present. The other forms are not ordinari ly met with, so they are not the con stant menace of the dairy man that the three above mentioned are. No dairyman wants t ohave it on his conscinece that he has, through carelessness, thoughtfulness or wil fulness cuased either sickness or death to child or adult, aside' from 1 ATTEM ' We demand in Suits for Summer wear materials as fine and tailoring as high class as we do in heavier garments for winter.

Teifs cf the Ec- cer.tricites of Passengers Who Tra- veS at Night. ( Ne w Y o r k Tl m e s ) . Working on the cars we learn odd things about peole's sleeiing habits," said a Porter of a Pulknau: car. "One cf the surprising items gleaned in my early railroad days was the fact that many people sleep with glas ses en. The first fellow I saw go to bed made up that way was a poli tician who traveled over my road stirring- up voters, in the western .part of the State. The funny thing about him was that he didn't really need glasses any more then I did. He seMom wore them in ulie daytime, ind generally made his speeches and read the papers w-ith his glas-eis dangl'.ng from his buttonhole three feet away from his eyes. But the minute he got ready for sleep they became indispensable. It bowled me clean ever when I buanped into his benti one night and found him sleep ing with the things on. I tried to take them off.but at first touch he was wide awake. "I was just taking off your glasses,' said I. 'You went to bed with them on," 'Of course I did he snapped. "I always do, I could not sleep without them. Give, "em here.' "Aftjer that I met lots of people who had become slaves to tQxe hab it. Some who could afford luxuries had special night glasses: made with certain loops and clasp which held thsm securely in place, while others less extravagant, contented themselv eswith the regular reading glasses .A few whom I questioned said they had purposely accustomed themselves to the habit because they were apt to lay their glasses down carelessly and were totally helpless, when, awak ened suddenly, but the majority de clared that their glasses had become a part of themselves, and that they would as soon think of taking off their ears. a. "In contrast to these folks. I found that most people take out their false teeth upon going to bed. I had a good deal cf trouble with, the toothless contingent.. Most of them were afraid to trust their teeth to the marrow confines of the berth, for fear of losing them. So thsy gave t!hqm to me for safe keeping. "Then there were wigs. Lots of bald-headed people couldn't sleep wilt, cut them. In most cases a spec'al shock of ha:"r was provided for' sleep ing purposes, thus keeping the regu lar wig speck -and span for daytime wear. One of the funniest things I ever came across in false hair line was the case of a certain gentleman from Indiana who often traveled with me. He was absolutely bald. Cine nrght I caught a glimpse of him in his night attire. The shining pate that I had marveled at only an hour be fore had blossomed out into a great 'mat cf shaggy black haxr. " 'I always sleep in it,' the old fel low said. "Don't say anyt'l ing about it. vvMl? you? It's just a fad of mw?. All my life long I have wished for a fine head of curly black hair. Na ture denied me that boon. She gave me nothiing but sparse red locks to start with. Now that she has tak- i en even those away I feel justified In gettinig back at her by wearing any old kind of hair I please. I do not dare put on my black wig ln the daytime fctr fear my folks will make fun of me. so I wesr it at night.'xz 'That struck me as being one of the craziest notions I hud ever heardi i'bufl, of course it was strictly the old man's busiaess, so I didn't say much about at. " 'I'll never forget one old chap with an ear truimpet. Every night when he turned in he arranged the trumpet writh the tube to his ear anid fastened it some way so it could mot budge. I got to know the main pretty well, and one night I jollied him about making preparations to hear Gabriel's horn if it should take a nioticn to blow it in the middle cf the night. The old lellow got quite serious. ' "It isn't that I want to hiear,' he said. "I always fix the trumpet rear dy for use so it won't be hard to find it in case there is any trouble on the road and some of you fellows fmd f cessary to call nje.' man tmyeled oa my line twace That a mon th for two eyairs1. One ndght we ran into a freight train.. In the excite ment I folrgot all about him and his ear trumpet and neglected to call ham, as I had promised, but I guess he found out about the accident ev en if he coiuldn't hear very well. "Another funny thing is the predi lection many people have- for sleep ing withi their heads- in a certain, din rection. I certainly remember well what a time I had with one; worn an traveling over the Northern Pac ific from St. Paul to Helena. After that road passes into North Dakota it runs almost due west. Naturally the berfths extend from east to west. This woman could sleep only with her head to tilie north. " 'It makes me deathly sick to lie with my head in any other direction,' she said. 'Make up my bed with the head to the north.' I tried to be diplmoatic. I pointed out how trfljpos sible it was to improvise a couch tha would block up the isle for the rest of the passengers, but she wouldn't listeni to reason. I reported the dif ficulty to the conductor and brae men. They set the whole machinery of the road in motion to try to get tha woman a crosswise berth but she w.'2s suc-h a tall woman they coul r-o-t manage it unless she rede with e ther her head or her leet sticking out of tli ewindow.Fl.nally we made up little lurk fcr her in a little ante room at the rear end cf the coach, aiid there she sL:-pt for two nights. "There are other folks who nave a habit cf sleeping decked out in all greatest offenders in that' respect. I used to implore them to lock their jewels up srimevrhere. but they declar ed that they couldn't sleep without their rings and all he rest of it. I knew one woman who never wore the plainest brnd r'.r.g' in. the daytime but when she got ready for bed sh? locked like a jeweler's advertising window. "Sleep with certain peopTe dep'-nls virion the kir.d o: clotli'iig worn.

One man who trav eled often over a west.:-rn -road whe-e I was em ployed' could not sleep uni?s he had a rde s h-xwi around hi-? shoulders. "Most habits cf this kind are con tracted during a sp-?l! cf sickness. The wear-Ln- gof a certain artiiefe of dress is recommended then and by the time the patient has recovered the habit has become second nature and cannot well be broken off. "Then there are certain sounds es sential to repose. There is the feVov who cannot sleep without an alarm clock ticking under his head, the fel low who is kept awake all night by wnirrine of the car wheels,, and the one who evsn be lulled to sleep only l y a ?oar and a rattling loud enough to split an ordinarv pair of ears. "Of all the slaves to habit thoe who are bound to wake at a stated hour or minute cf the niight, or at a particular spot are the most amus:ng and at the same time ''most annoying I have in mind new a customer be longing to the latter class. "He traveled in my car once from Cleveland to Chicago. We had been out of Cleveland only about half an hour when he hunted me and asked to have his bed fixed. I suggested that it was rather early and asked him if he couldn't held out little lon ger. " 'No sir, said he, 'I cannot. Iv'e only got a few cat naps ahead of me at the best and I want to make the most of them. I won't be able to close my eyes for two seconds aft- r ve cross the Indiana line and I went to siiiatch a few winks cf sleep before we get there.' "I saw the man was in dead ear nest and made his bed. Five minu tes' later he was sncring away like a pirate and he continued to snore till we got to the Indinaa line. As sure as I am slitting here that man ceased snoring before the last coach had switched out of Ohio and stuck ! his head out from between the cur tains as wide awake as a nev,T silver dollar. " 'It didn't take us long to get to Indiana," he said. 'Ycu may make my bed now. I shall not be able to so long as we are in this con- founded state. I was dimifoundd. But how did you know when we got here?' I asked. 'You were -sound as leep a minute ago.' " 'Of course I was,' said he, 'and I should have slept all night if we- had not struck Indiana.
