If the butchers had received such warning,
the residents Of Washington, d. C. would
not be at the mercy Of the beef trust and

Emmons in his comparison of statements
takes DR.. Richardson's report Of October
Ist, 1901, and present time, viz
October /, 1901, output 200 gallons.
Present output $50 gallons
This is the time of year when cows are
most productive" October Ist these cows
were eating grass and plenty Of II, now they
are on solid food and, he says, should yield
more. Go slow Emmons.
Another comparison, viz either the herd
must have been reduced by mortality from
about 400 cows TO II2 cows OF the product

is ON the decrease. What kind OF arithme-

two gallons per day win not pay for its
keeping, and that Dr. Richardson's one aud

ceed 20 cents, and we'll known fact, average
cost Of feed is % cents, and whether the
Government derives any profit from this
industry, the reader can easily Judge for
himself"
Well, Emmons, the readers are judging
the readers are figuring, and will also COM
pare. How will this do, viz: DR.. Richard
sons II2 cows give 1889 gallons per day
each Ashburn (Senator's) 800 cows give
(I,ooo qts.) .s33 gallons per day each
We get both of these items from head
quarters, through the local press Emmons.
reporter and Immaculate investigator. Now
Mr. Emmons, you say, None of these
ClocaD cows can be producing less than
two gallons per day (your simpler test.)
You emphatically, as an expert, assure this
fact, so the readers will accept II as fact,
consequently, two gallons milk at II cents
per gallon equals "a cents per cow, is nit
philanthropy by those locals" now supply
ing the one half, and the readers are proud
of our locals. But that other half, you as
sure us, is at an immensely excessive out

Now Mr.. Emmons by Your disinterested,
purely philauthropic visit Of inspection,
just at the time bin is before Congress
about milk, your discovery Of contagious
abortion, and all the other "ortions" about
that dairy should and we suppose will, be

But what about the remedy; surely you

quart is not enough; that they have 900
cows and only get 1000 quarts per day; the
asylum uses 200 quarts per day. This inn

enacted, " will have to supply all Washing

Emmons, because you know when the
