President Mckinley Speaks.

President Mckinley Speaks.
Last Saturday evening in Philadel-
phia President Mckinley delivered
his first public speech since the cleo
ton. In referring to the obligations
which were imposed upon the republi-
can party at the late election the
president said:
"The republican party has placed
upon it tremendous responsibilities.
No party could ask for higher ex-
preston of confidence. 1t is a great
thing to have this confidence; it will
be greater thing to deserve and hold
it.
"To this party are committed new
and grave problems. They are too ex-
allied for partisanship. The task of
settlement is for the whole American
people. Who will say they are unequal
to it?
Liberty has not lost. but gained in
strength. The structure of the faith
ers stands secure upon the foundation
on which they raised it, and is today,
as it has been in the years past, and as
it will be in the years to come, the
government of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people,
BE not disturbed; there is no dan
ger from empire; there is no fear for
the republic"

scalds and not leave scar. 1t can be
applied to cuts and raw surfaces with
prompt and soothing effect. Use it
for piles and skin diseases. Beware of

Dairy Inspections

The question of the inspection Of
milk supplies and inspection of diaries
has been discussed of late years, es-
pecially since the tuberculosis agita-
ton, but that was of such radical
nature that the farmers have been
naturally suspicious of any official il
vestigation.
The dairy bureau has for several years
recommended an inspection system of
reports following the Michigan plan,
so as to make some progress in the
line of inspection with as few burden
some features as possible. This prop
osition was approved by the state
grange two years ago. Pennsylvania
has adopted a similar plan, but out
side of any legislation. A society hav-
ing for it's object the study of diseases
of children has appointed a commits
sion including one veterinarian, one
bacteriologist, and a chemist to exam
inc the milk of diaries of all owners of
cows who desire. This commission
will give certificate to each dairyman
whose milk is found up to the standard.
Nothing will be said prejudicial to the
interests of those who do not have their
milk examined, but it is hoped that
certificate from this commission will be
such good advertisement that farmers
having such certificate will get the
best of the business and others will
want to have the same.-New England
Farmer.
