m K w T - *i' WASHING .MILKERS’ HANDS. A practical and useful suggestion for the milking shed is to use syphoned water from a kerosene tin bucket for washing the hands of the milters. ,It is cmly necessary to take a kerosene or petrol tin affix a wire handle in tho usual way, and hang up in the cow shed, in any convenient place. Fill with clean water and drop in the syphon (about 1 inch bore). Start the syphon working, and the result will be a small stream of clear water, with which the hands of the milker may be cleansed in a few moments. The advantage of a syphon over a fixed tap is that the syphon requires no fixing. It would be ah advantage to have the vessel containing the water made of heavy galvanised.iron, as kerosene tins are apt to rust, and so contaminate the water. The figures indicate —K, kerosene bucket’ S, syphon; T, tap; W, water.

As showing the trend of the times and the way our c-itv is following on in the way of the hig cities of older countries (states the Auckland Star), it was seriously considered at a meeting of church managers recently whether the church should close clown for a month at the beginning of the year while the great majority of the worshippers with their children were away oil one of Auckland’s many beaches on holiday', so that the minister, the organist, and the choir might also have a holiday and come back fresh for their "ork to be carried on during the rest or the year. It is said that the City Temple in London was quoted as aii example to follow. It was decided, however, that Auckland was not yet at the stage when so radical a change from the usual procedure could be made; even in a city* church here the church services each Sunday were attended very largely by a different lot of people. At a local body meeting in Auckland the chairman suggested that a weekend visit be paid to .some of the works needing inspection. Seven out of the ten members present said (reports the Star) that they had important appointments to attend ' to, and Saturday* would not suit them. The excuses came with such persistency that the chairman at last said, “Oh, you need not camouflage it any longer, Saturday is the second day for the pennant matches on the Auckland bowling greens, and you are just a lot of humbugs with your important engagements.” That the chairman was right was shown by the hearty laughter which followed his remarks, and the knowing winks which were exchanged by the 6even bowlers present.
