18 . - cows stand facing each other in their stanchions in two long rows, with a wide aisle between and behind them. Between each cow is an iron basin filled with running water, overhead hang records of each cow's birth, breed, name, age and food prescription. Each cow is kept closely clipped around her udder and well up her sides. She is brushed and wiped before each milking and is so hitched that she cannot lie down. Her milk is kept separate from that of other cows and weighed after it is milked, then sent immediately to the milk house. In the barn where the younger stock were kept we saw the head of the herd, who, from the noise he made, rather resented our intrusion. The milk is taken to the milk house immediately after milking. We were shown and had explained to us the cooling and separating ma- chines. We saw the bottling and sealing of the milk bottles and the arrangement for keeping them until delivery. Such care is taken of this milk in every way that although no guaran- tee is given, if sealed one can safely say that it will keep four weeks with little trouble and it has been known to keep for ten. The milk is supplied especially for babies but we were told that many of the oflicers in the fleet who went around the world took a supply with them, and that the big liners sailing across the ocean carried a supply to use after their ordinary milk and cream had spoiled. After a very generous sampling of this truly clean milk we took a train to Newton Highlands and from there came home on the electrics, each one concluding that an enjoyable and profitable day had been spent even if a few bones did ache. L. C. P. A New Tale of An Old Rhyme Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, And cannot tell where to find them , Leave them alone and they'll come home Dragging their tails behind them. l never realized the significance of these familiar lines, until I stud- ied the subject of sheep, in detail, and then the mystery solved itself. Asia is the home of many queer things but, to my mind the queerest of all is the so-called fat-tailed sheep. As the name suggests these sheep have huge tails, weighing from fifty to eighty pounds. The tail is con- sidered a choice article of food. In order not to injure it, the natives make sleds and in some wav fasten them to the shoulders of the sheep, so that each sheep may drag his own tail. What a picture a herd of these sled- ders would make. Authorities say this kind of sheep is the basis for the nursery rhyme because if the sheep dragged their tails behind them since the tail is the most important part of the body, the rest of the body need not be mentioned, which is the case in the rhyme. Therefore, when you read the old rhyme again, I trust you will pause at the word drag long enough to make a mental picture of a kindly looking sheep, pulling his tail after him on a low sled and slowly wending his way homeward.
