Chicago Milk camra;,n.

Again the milk inspectors of Chi
cago have begun an active campaign
against waterers and skimlners of
milk. In the past the spasmodic ef-
forts OF the milk inspection depart
ment have resulted only in spasmod,c
indications of virtue among the vend-
ers of milk. The present effort will
doubtless result the same way. The
trouble is not with the milk inspec-
tors but In the conditions that make
it impossible to keep at work enough
inspectors to thoroughly do the work
belonging to their Office. All kinds OF
tricks are worked against the insoec-
tors. One Of the most common ones
is to label all of the milk "skim"
whether it be whole or skinned milk.
Then the dealers sell the milk that
has been robbed of a part of it's cream
as good" milk, by which the custom
ers understand milk that has not
been skinned" When the inspector
comes along he finds the cans all la
beled skim" milk and so the man
that has been really selling skinned
milk for whole milk is beyond prose.
cution. To the present time no check
seems to have been found on this
trick. Some have proposed that a law
be passed to prevent the sale Of skim
milk except in considerable quanti-
ties, but this would certainly initiate
against both the producers and the
consumers of milk. A considerable
number of milk dealers are being pros
ecuted and their names published in
the papers, and this is expected to
have salutary effect

Strenoth of Ancestry.

To have strong breed Of fowls we
must have birds bred up from strong
ancestors. In our present knowledge
of the different breeds we cannot tell
just what the comparisons between
the different breeds are in this re-
spect. Doubtless as time goes on we
will have tests to discover these rela-
tive facts. There is a strong impress
sion that one breed is much stronger
than another breed, but we have no
definite data to back up these rather
vague impressions. In small way
we can tell something about the
strength of ancestry in individual
strains. Thus, if we have had in our
fiocks rather weak birds and have
permitted them to reproduce them
selves and have seen the same weak
ness in their progeny we know that
the proper strength is lacking for the
development of proper strain OF val
liable birds. The best we can do is
to watch these birds and weed them
out of the flock. If we cure sick
bird, that bird should never again be
permitted to lay eggs for Matching
purposes. The very fact that she has
been sick makes it probable that she
lacks in hardness.

Law Against False Brands.

False brands of dairy products have
always played large part in frauds
perpetrated in the sale Of butter and
cheese. 1t is of interest to know that
bill to prevent such practices is now
before the National Congress and
stands a good chance to become
law. 1t is known as the Sherman
Bill" and is for the purpose Of pre-
venting the branding Of butter and
cheese otherwise than from the ter
ritory in which they are made. Thus,
at the present time, "Elgin butter"
comes from all parts of the country.
II any one section of country builds
UP reputation for good products,
other localities at once begin stealing
that reputation and profiting by it..
This is q mean kind of robbery that
needs to be done away with. In the
end it brings into disrepute the
products from all localities, for it
causes doubt as to the value Of any
kind of brand. In New York the
state department has been trying for
years to execute laws relative to this
matter, but has always found the non
existence Of national law in this re-
gard great obstacle in its path.

Little Things About incubators

Little Things About lncubators
There are some things that seem lit
tie in themselves that are Of constd-
erable Importance in the running OF
an incubator. The advice is given not
to buy secondhand incubators. Prob
ably the advice Is good, for Q second.
hand incubator may have been 60
badly handled that it will give unsat-
isfactory results in the hands Of
new user, especially II the new user
be q person that has had no expert
ence with these machines. 1t Is
claimed that incubators, like other
things, wear out. Without doubt this
apparent wearing out is due to the
maladjustment OF the parts or utensils
in the parts. How much warptng
and striking has to do with the So
called wearing out OF incubators we
cannot tell. l. is claimed that in the
case of too much moisture being used
the machines Will warp. This use of
too much moisture is a little thing,
but il must be looked after. 1t is
mistake to use any but the best kind
of oil in incubators. A few cents
saved on oil may mean the loss of an
entire hatch. Least of all does it pay
to buy cheap thermometers. There
is little difference in cost between the
good and poor thermometers. We
have seen some of these articles sent
out from houses for advertising pur.
poses that were entirely worthless.
One thermometer that we knew OF
seemed to work all right for q few
days, and then dropped down to 20
degrees below zero and staid there.
degrees out OF the way may result in
large losses of eggs and time, to say
nothing of the patience OF the poultry.

Tomatoes for the annerie.:

1t is evident that the tomato sup
ply is short so far as the canned prod
uct is concerned. A man conversant
with the conditions existing says that
for three years past the market has
not been fully supplied and that it
will take a most bountiful harvest to
put the market in normal state.
Last winter canned tomatoes were
actually imported into the United
States from Canada, thing before
unheard of. Probably the high prices
asked for the canned product is to
some extent due to the comparatively
short crop of last year, but 1t does
seem that the supply of this fruit
would be sufficient for all needs II the
tomatoes that are actually grown
could be taken care of. There are mil
lions of gardens in this country where
tomatoes go to waste every year be-
cause the owners cannot use them
and there is no sale for. them. The
shortage in the supply on the market
in winter is due then to lack Of ia
cilities for using what is actually pro
duced.

Pasturaue In Porto Rico.

Shipments of 1900 head of cattle are
made yearly from Porto Rico to Trim
idad, St. Lucia and Barbados for the
English government and about 300
head to Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Prices Of to 10 cents per pound on
the hoof are obtained, less AZ per cent
discount. The grazing on the island
is unsurpassed, there being 100000
acres of blue grass of the finest
growth, equal to the celebrated graz
ing lands Of Kentucky. Cattle raising
as an industry can be largely in
creased in Porto Rico and to great
pecuniary advantage, as the market
is practically unlimited. The demand
from the numerous adjacent islands
alone is far greater than the supply
