Farmers Warned.

State Dairy Commissioner Morton
has authorized a statement from his
office for publication, in which he calls
the attention of the farmers of Iowa
to new-fangled milk and cream sem
arator, which dealers have RECENTLY pllt
on the market. The machine is a come
shaped affair, arranged so that water
IS forced into the bottom of it to make
the cream rise to the top. The state
ualry commissioner has been investi-
gazing the mechanism of the machine,
ana says the scheme is nothing more
nor less than the old plan Of using
water in the separation of milk and
cream, which will be recalled by any
of the older farmers of the state. III is
claimed by the agents who are forcing
This separator on the market, that RI
saves to the farmers, if not quite, all
OF the butter fat in the milk. The
State dairy commissioner has been maxi
ing some tests with the machine and
1lnds that such claims do not tally ex-
actly with the results he has obtained.
The promoters of the new separating
scheme are in the habit of allowing
from forty to fifty minutes for the
process of separation, after which they
claim that the milk is free from but
Ter rat. In other words, the meat of
the milk has all risen to the surface in
cream. To make sure that the test
was complete the dairy commissioner
allowed the cream to remain over
night in the separator, instead of the
/ usual forty-five minutes. The result
OF this test was to show that after the
cream had been removed from the
milk there was something like 20 per
cent. of the butter fat remaining in it
or SIX times as much as remains after
the use of the ordinary creamery sep
arator. The dairy commissioner
makes public the result of this test in
order that the farmers may know some
thing of the inside workings of the
new machine.

ARBITRATION MAY FAIL.
to Secure Defeat of schemes
Before Peace Conference.

Washington, June 12.-According to
private advices reaching here from The
Hague. there is grave danger that one
and all of the arbitration schemes be-
fore the conference will fail. 1t is said
that Germany is markedly hostile to
the arbitration principle, and is max
ing an active canvass to secure the sup
port of some of the second-rate pow
ers in her opposition. If this movement
Is successful, even in limited degree,
it is feared that arbitration is doomed,
so far as this conference is concerned,
for, to carry any weight and show prac-
teal results, the delegates must be
nearly unanimous.
The Hague, June 12.-The chief del
| egates to the peace conference met
Saturday to discuss German COM
plants against the secrecy imposed
upon the delegates and the consequence
of misleading reports published, and it
is understood that Count Munster,
head of the German delegation, was in
structed to propose that the protocols
for the plenary sittings of the COM
mittees be published Immediately after
they are drawn up.
American delegates say that they
are still confident of the adoption of
some of their chief projects for arbitra-
ton, but the preliminary discussion
Friday indicates the impossibility of
maintaining them all. For instance, it
is impossible to carry the proposal
that the judges of the arbitration tri-
bunal be elected by the highest court
of justice of each country, as some of
the European countries do not possess
judicial organization permitting
such procedure. 1t is expected that
the likeliest outcome will be that each
country will be free to choose the man
ner of nominating it's own judges.
The Americans propose to insistupon
permanent tribunal, if this is impos-
sible they hope to obtain at any rate
the institution of permanent COM
mission. They will also insist on
other points.

goods 1.S per cent during the week, with
wooden goods 8 per cent. and boots and

Is that expectation of higher prices induces
buying far in advance of requirements for
consumption. 1t is needless to say that this
is symptom of danger and the most con-
sentative manufacturers, especially in iron
ana steel, have striven to avoid it, but &C.

from consumption. 1t is a saving feature
that quotations are quite largely fictitious.

Cleveland, O., June 12.-At four
o'clock in the morning the motormen
and conductors of the Cleveland Elec-
trio Railway company. known locally
as the Big Consolidated, declared a
strike, tying up the entire system, in
Guiding the Euclid, Wade Park, Cedar,

the company unless the officers seek out
and treat with the union. Not car
will be run on any of the lines of the
Big Consolidated to-day if the men can
help it. Men on the way here to take
the places of strikers have been headed

One of the mems demands that
