Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-01-23

Representatives of the press of the
three cities were guests yesterday
afternoon of the Tri-City Bottled
Milk and Butter company at its plant
on Forty-fourth street. The occasion
proved most enjoyable one to all
who availed themselves of the COM
pany's courtesy. both in the scientific
treat that it afforded and from a So
ciaI standpoint.
At the outset an inspection was
made of the plant in complete oper-
alton showing the thorough process,
scientific and sanitary, to which the
milk is subjected, the various repre-
sentatives of the company being on
hand to explain in detail the system
employed. The manner of handling
the milk from the moment il is re-
ceivcd at the plant was shown-how
IL is first examined, to ascertain if
1t is sweet, and free from odors caus-
ed by the feeding of sour or rancid
food, and from being suffocated from
the can lid being closed over night.
Then. it was explained, if the milk
is found to be sweet and free from
doors two samples are taken, one for
a composite test to determine the
value of the milk. and the other goes
to the Laboratory, and there by the
use of the microscope il is examined
for diseased germs of all kinds.
If the milk is found to be satisfac-
tory il is weighed ana passed over
large refrigerator coil, connected
with the cold storage plant, which
reduces ii to the temperature of s.
degrees. This process also aerates
il second time, removing all posi-
BILE traces of animal heat. 1t is de-
posted into large vat and kept at
a temperature where germs cannot
possibly develop. This vat is pro
vidcd with an agitator and cooling
coil, to prevent the cream from ris-
ing.

1t is then drawn off through fill
ter, by the gravity process, and is
forced through sixteen thicknesscs
of the finest linen, to remove foreign
substances. As soon as the milk is
filtered or clarified, it is placed in Il
bottling machine, and as soon as the
bottles are filed the latter are cap
ped and removed to the cold storage
room, and there kept until the next
morning, ready for delivery.

are used in the process. Refrigera-
ton and cleanliness. pure and simple,
is the Tri-City company's method.
1t was demonstrated too, that the
company exercises the same care in
connection with the manufacture
of butter, and every vat, pipe and
utensil used in connection with the
handling of all milk products is
thoroughly cleansed and sterilized
by steam.
But the demonstration did not stop
i'm the exhibition and explanation of
the machinery used IN attaining the
degree of perfection in which the
Tri-City company prides itself. At
ter the entire plant had been in
spected the newspaper men were
taken through the barns and wagon
houses where the same attention to
every detail of cleanliness. neatness
and system was shown. The horses
used on the wagons appeared to be
of the best stock, admirably cared
for. while the wagons all new and of
the most attractive up-to-date style
equipped for the delivery of milk
and butter, with refrigerators in
each for use in the warmer months.

served admiration.

premises from which it came to To-
cate the sick COW or cows and they
are ordered isolated from the rest of
the herd, and the milk from that
particular farm is refused until such
time as it can pass the stipulated re-
quirements.
+. w. Woodcock, vice president,
followed with an explanation of the
scientific and sanitary precautions
that are pursued in securing the
quality of milk before it reaches the
factory. He first read the contract
that is entered into with all dairy
men indicating the rigid require
ments that must be observed by
those who sell the raw material Go
the factory"
BY the terms of this agreement
the producer becomes essentially
the responsible agent of the com
pany. Before purchasing the milk
from the farmer. the company's milk
buyer is instructed, said Mr.. Wood
cock, first to see that the herds of
COWS are all in good health, and at
the same time, is instructed to eX-
anime the sanitary conditions i'm and
around stables. and the places where
the milk is cooled and aerated. He
must see that the farmer does not
feed silo enselage. sour or rancid food
of any kind. When these conditions
are favorable, the farmer is permit
ted to make the necessary contract
for milk supply. The farmer is then
supplied by the company with Il
cooler or aerater, over which all milk
is passed Immediately after milking,
thus cooling the same within one or
two degrees of the temperature of
the water used inside of the aerater.
In addition TO these precautions, the
company. il was explained, has an
inspector whose duty it is to visit
each farm frequently. to see that all
these requirements are fully COM
piled with, and he also makes it his
special duty to ascertain if there are
any contagious diseases existing in
the family of the farmer. i'm which
case the shipments of milk must be
until il is safe to re-
sumo.
Mr.. Woodcock took occasion to
pay graceful compliment to the
men, whose mission here
hereafter he placed a degree or two
higher than anyone mas risked Civ
ing them before.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Wood !
cocks remarks Mr.. Page spoke brief |
ly from the practical side of the !
milk and butter question, and then
i'm response to calls few oi the |
men from the three cities
made short remarks expressive of
the delight that had been afforded /

and of appreciation of the courtesies |
extended. and of the qualification

Owing to our predecessors having
made a careful examination OF the

II The fire wagon crew was out for
pr2ctice Wednesday afternoon. The
men handle the wagon with credita-
BILE efficiency.
The attendance on court has been
confined pretty closely to those who

L The Tavora cotton mills have sub
Imitted to the town1rouncil a PROPOSE
ton to give all night lights for s75 a
year each, as against s65 for lights
burning until midnight, on condition
the council will agree to take four ad-
ditional lamps. The council has not
yet acted upon the proposition.
The town council did a creditable
thing last Tuesday night when it de-
clded to furnish the Kings Mountain
Military academy with free water. The
proposition is that the council will put
in a reduced extension of the water
main to curvlng, opposite the barracks,
from which point Colonel Stephenson
will carry it to wherever may be nec-
essary. A meter will be put down, and
the school will be allowed $4,000 gallons
of water free of charge, being required
to pay for the excess. The people of
the town generally will no doubt ap-
prove Of this act as slight recogni-
ton Of the' value and Importance of
the X. M. M. A. to the local public.

SOLICITOR Thurmond has announced
his intention to bring criminal action
against the mill owners of the Horse
Creek valley for conspiracy. The ope-
ratives Of the J. P. King mill, Of Au-
gusta, struck for an advance Of 10 per
cent. in wages. The strike was in pur-
suance of the plans Of the Textile I'm
ion. The idea was to make concen-
trated fight against this one mill, rely
ing upon the union operatives in the
other mills to support the idle strikers
until the fight was won. Then, as the
next move, the operatives of another
mill would strike and the same tactics
would be pursued until all Of the mills
had agreed to the advance. To cir
cumvent this plan, so soon as the
scstrike against the King mill was de-
clared, all the other mills Of Augusta
and those Of the Horse Creek valley
country in South Carolina, adjoining,
shut down. Solicitor Thurmond takes
the ground that the South Carolina
mills had no right to shut down; that
their operatives were fulfilling their
contracts, and that the action Of the
mill owners was in the nature of con-
spiracy entered into for the benefit of
the management Of the King mill. The
probability is that there will be long
and expensive fight on the issues in
volved, and that the question will get
into politics.

iaflroad Consolidation.

There has been a most sensational
furry in the railroad stock market dur
ing the past week or ten days as the
result of which the financial world is
doing a great deal of guessing, while
the general public is quietly settling
down to a conviction that the whole
thing means nothing more nor less
than a consolidation Of the Louisville
and Nashville and the Southern rail-
roads. the two great systems Of the
south under the management of ]. p,
Morgan G. Co.
The first symptoms of the current
upheaval manifested themselves in a
sharp advance in Louisville and Nash
Vile. After some 100000 shares of the
stock had changed hands at prices up
to 1913, it became evident that John w.
Gates has probably wrested control
from the August Belmont interests and
subsequent conferences Of Gates and
J. P. Morgan G. Co., convinced Wall
street that deal had been agreed up7
on whereby Morgan & Co., are to take
control of Tie Louisville and Nashville
property.
So far as the stock operators are con-
cerned, there seems to be no doubt
that Morgan & Co., propose to .consol-
idate the Southern and Louisville and
Nashville in the interest of the former
system. Morgan & Co., however, deny
this, claiming that they have only be-
come trustees of the Louisville & Nash
vile, and that they propose to operate
the property strictly in the interest Of
the stockholders. This statement is
not generally believed to be more than
an evasion made on account Of the
pending action of the government
against the Great Northern Consol-
idation. If the governments action de-
velops into more than a bluff, the
Northern Securities company will be
dissolved, and it will follow also that
mergers like that proposed between the
Southern and Louisville and Nashville
will be illegal. Until the action against
the Northern Securities company is set
tied it is not expected that J. P. Nor
gan & Co., will make definite state
ment of their intentions.

for the substitution, were Messrs. Nc
