This is the time of year when ii
is a big job to get up a newsy
paper, The weather is too hot for
picnics, the farmers are all busy,
the society ladies are all at the
seashore, the small boys and some
of the big one are spending their
time at the swimming hole, every
body is tired, hot, and disguised,
and it makes every man mad il
you ask him if he knows anything
new. The people expect a newsy
paper, and the only way they can
be satisfied is for the editor to
draw on his Imagination. and this
source has been drawn upon SO
much that it is getting bald. We
are too hot to write, too tired to
think and we would not know an
item if we should meet it in the
road.

War Department officials. Silver

DIFFERENCE IN, MILK.
Regardless of Value, Ii Radi-
cally Wrong.

According to bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture, near
ly all milk used for direct consumption
is sold by measure alone, regardless of
value. This method is unjust to both
consumer and producer. The majority
OF people seem to think that milk is
milk, and that one quart is worth as
much as another, SO long as it is sweet
milk. The reason for this is partly
lack OF knowledge DIS to what consti-
tutes good milk and partly because
milk is an opaque liquid, and it is diff
f1cult to judge its composition or food
value by appearance. Milk containing
high per cent. of fat is not only worth
more for food, but it costs more to
produce than milk containing low
per cent. of fat, and it's price should
be governed by food values. Frequent
ly one quart of milk contains twice as
much fat as another, yet both sell for
the same price.
No other commodity is bought or
sold With such disregard of food value.
All milk should be sold according to
its composition, and not only should
its exact composition be known. but
definite grades should be established
with corresponding value. Milk for
direct consumption should not only
have standard of values, but of clean
illness as well, and should be produced
under inspection.
1t would be as reasonable to expect
to purchase three pounds of round
steak for the price of one as to buy
milk with eight per cent fat and that
with two per cent. fat at the same
price quart. Most of the states and
some Of the cities have passed laws
which make it unlawful to sell milk
below certain standard. This makes
the sale of milk coming direct from
individual cows, that give milk low in
fat, unlawful, while it is good, whole
some milk and a perfectly legitimate
product when sold at it's proper price.
But what is even worse, this system
prevents the man who produces rich
milk from getting the price he should
according to it's food value and cost of
production. Milk containing a high
per cent. of fat is not only worth more
for food, but costs more to produce
than milk containing low per cent.
of fat, and the price should be gov
erned by it's composition and food
value, and not by it's bulk.
One hundred pounds Of good milk
contains 81 pounds of water, four
pounds of fat, five pouds of milk sugar,
or pound of mineral matter or salts.
Most of the states and many cities re-
quire or 3.5 per cent. of fat and
9 or 95 per cent. of "solids not fat."
The total solids" required thus vary
from ~ to 10 per cent, according to
different laws.

Ground Feed for Cows.

While there is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to the advisability
of grinding grain for some farm ami
mails, it is generally conceded that it
pays to grind for the dairy herd. A
COW giving large flow Of milk needs
all her energy to secrete the milk and
to digest the large amount Of feed
which must be used for that purpose.
1t is for this reason important to make
the process of digestion as easy and
rapid as possible. A good grinder,
with suitable power to run it, should
be part of the equipment of every well
conducted dairy farm.-C. H. Eckles,
Missouri Experiment Station.

grand opera alone her annual receipts
are about $4,000, and the Baireuth
profits are close to $50 900 every year.
