The Dutchman and the Reporters.

?#>■•-/ - ■ - ■ * ' ' |5" Prrr the sorrows of a poor reporter. He Sgtbas to face dreadful words sometimes, the P^Kfco of ,which he never met before. A :'%jDutch Witness announced in the London Courb that he found Dr Jameson oata place called Van Uit Hoonis Winkel I^Spruit, which appears to mean the house a -certain Mr Van Uit at the bend of a^the brook. Commenting upon the dismay ggamong. the reporting staff the Daily |g.Chroniole says ; "If there are to be many ipnlore Boer witnesses in the Jameson trial IjfesitHe hard-worked reporters will have to #7apjly.for the services of a special InterI^Jreter. They were left the other day to pjjnake .the best they could of the name of |p£a, J . place which came trippingly off the sgitonguo of Bonwer, the Boer witness, but which the ordinary signs of stenoj^giraphy. offer no equivalent. In the. de- ■ the name appears as Van Winklespruit. The nearest ggibe. Evening Standard reporter got to ib igiJw'as Van Nit Hookiswinkel Sprint, the feGlobe gently modified this to Van Nit jg^Horriswinkel, while the Sun simplified it gjgtof/Van Oudtshoorn's, and the Evening l|pSrewß boldly made one fearsome word of g|lt—thns, -..yanoudtßchawanswlnkel. The llgtieslTot the reporters fenced gently with it, feoifj like prudent men, declined it altoIpfgether." Now, the only thing that comes pfgiiiear to their feeling is that of the comp;;poeitor who haa to setup suoh unearthly fftvy^words. ..Even the linotype machine is no |S£iiae h>re.. We still, like Artemus Ward, |p}haTß to do our own " spellin." Iflf^'ln i\-a lecture recently delivered at |s|gDunedin under the auspices of the Otago ipS&grioultural and Paßtoral Soolety, by Mr |||S,-,5.. Cameron, M.R.O^.S., on " ComV^boti:^ Ailments of Dairy Stock," the |f|foUowing :was said with reference to andwarty teats :-" A great deal pv|jh' as been -heard lately, too, about cracked fe^teats, and the' opinion obtains in some sfeSqaartera that they are unavoidable. I, ||fetfiowe.ver, hold a contrary opinion, and Indistinctly assert that cracked teats are Ijpjinainly the result of carelessness on the pf part; of the milker. The trouble is most ai^ common in dairies where the practice of |||;:wet milking is adopted, and this appears ifefor-be' one of the most prolific causes. ip'Bxcepli the teats are thoroughly dried fe|;after~inilking,_tho skin surface gets a chill, pgprhich results in a mild inflammation and fife'ohappingj" jusfc in the same way as a pKfWullerymaid's hands become rough and by being frequently wet and exllpjfips'e'cl ■to cold. If the cracks are not p£s> attended to and healed up they become with particles of dirt, and this, g||tbgether ' with the manipulation during ppinHking, inoreases the irritation and soregPHeßßi resulting ultimately in the formation pfeofsmall warty growths. When the cracks Ipajppear the use of a little ointment, conpKßistinglof one part of borax or boraccic P|?abid to eight of vaneline, both before and Mjflfter milling, will quickly effect a cure. I^PutSthere. .is no reason why the main I.SicauseT— namely, wet milking, should not J|gbo abandgned. It is purely a matter of gh/abit sud use,: and with a-little determiuate^^i'rs'Snd Cpractice anyone can soon Ipconstom "themsolves to dry milking, K^Mioh^.iß equally efficacious and much pjttßge^leaply^ ,\- \\.: ,■■ &S]p°^W the time^to buy a tollable watch can be saved I The |||fclnif(£io boy ah artiole of nne and beauty giforj; ; the home, for personal wear, or for a pwPMWn);!'
