THE VOTING MACHINE.


Records Straight or Scratched Bal-
lots aaA n ASsolutely Secret.
The voting machine Is, primarily, q
counting machine. or rather q COM
binatlon OF counting machines. 1t con-
elsts Of three parts-(D the keyboard,
with one key for each candidate. and
two-a yes" and mo" key-for each
question; (2) the counters, one for
each key, and CD the interlocking
mechanism, which limits the number
Of keys, that can be operated in any
one Office group-the candidates Of all
parties for one office. The machine Is
operated by small gate or lever
which swings In both directions. 1t is
unlocked by the movement Of the gate
In a certain direction before the voter
indicates his ballot on the Keyboard.
while n movement In the opposite di-
rectlon casts the ballot indicated and
ut the same time resets and locks the
keys.
When ballot is cast, 1t Is counted
ut once by the voter himself, for the
total vote OH the counter for each can
didate Is advanced one step by the
act. The voting Is done in the privacy
Of the booth, and when the keys Of
the machine have been reset for the
next voter the identity Of the preced-
ing ballot Ia destroyed. Consequently
the secrecy of the ballot is absolutely
assured. Not only Is the voting of
straight ticket simple affair. but the
mechanism Ia 50 adjusted that q
scratched ticket can be voted us easily
~ II the voter were marking a ballot
with his pencil. He cannot vote for
more than specified number of can
didates, because. when the full vote
has been cast for any group Of candi-
dates, all the remaining keys Of that
group are found to be locked, and when
oil the ballots have been cast every
key on the machine has become i'm
movable. a
Again, the machine is supplied with
levers which may be 80 adjusted by
the judges OF elections that the voter
cannot cast q ballot which he Is not en-
titled to vote. For example. In certain
localities a failure to pay the poll tax
debars the citizen from voting on Ques-
tions involving the expenditure of
money, as well as for certain candi-
dates. When one appears who has fail.
ed to pay this tax. he will find the re-
spective keys locked against him. Ut
would be an easy matter to provide
each machine with a nickel In the slot
attachment. SO that each delinquent
could pay his poll tax at the time of
voting. II he wished.) Another lever
locks the keys OF candidates for which
a woman Is not entitled to vote. The
machine has also q free ballot device,
which permits the voter to exercise his
constitutional right to vote for candi.
dates who have not been nominated by
any party.
When the judges declare the polls
closed. the gate il locked fast In its
outward position. and by this means
Ill the push keys are locked, 80 that
there can be no tampering with the
machine or any further voting.-"vot.

RELATION OF SALT TO DAIRY.
ING.

Cow should be sailed regularly, or
better still, should have constant access
to salt The practice of sailing them
once week is not good one, as the
most of cattle will lick little salt every
day II they can get it. Thus provided
they will yield more and better milk than
otherwise, and will also maintain a better
degree of health. AS salt provokes thirst,
the mich animal should have as free &C
cess to water as to the saline mineral. or
the latter will do her more harm than
good.
Speaking of salt leads me to say that
some failures in dairy butter making |
have noted came about by sailing the
cattle and the butter out of the same bar
rel. In other words, coarse, insoluble
salt was used for the butter, when only
the highest and most refined grade should
be employed. Salt that is not soluble will
not permeate the substance of butter
evenly, and thus rancidity may be induced
Again grains of salt in butter always de-
tract from its appearance and are mimi
cal to even flavor, from these causes
alone lowering its market value. Let me
say here that there are today just as fine
grades of American dairy salt produced
as come from England.
American mich cattle, fed on American
grass, produce butter sailed with Amer
lean salt, that is the peer of any on earth,
and is so conceded in foreign mar
kets. In attaining this result, however,
one must utilize the best of everything,
thinking not that poor or cheap material
can be introduced with IMMUNITY to future
quality. knew a dairyman once, who,
in spasm of economy CD sought to save
fifty cents by purchasing cheaper grade
of salt than was his wont, and later lost
on his shipment of butter, thereby, seven
dollars. 1t was one of the most effective
lessons he could have been taught in
practical dairying. exemplfying as it did
that cheap material always produces
cheap quality. When it comes to cheese
making, salt holds just as important
position as in other dairy lines, i. e., that
solubility and purity are highly necessary.
The relation of salt, be it understood,
to all phases of dairying is highly i'm
portant one, and because this fact is so
little appreciated, accounts for many
dairy failures.-Dr George E. Newell, in
Journal of Agriculture.
