DIFFERENCE. In MILK.
Method Of Selling by Measure AIone,
Regardless Of Value, L. Radi-
ca1ly 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 q
lack OF knowledge Is to what consti-
tutes good milk and partly because
milk is an Opaque liquid, and it is diff
ficult to judge its composition or food
value by appearance. Milk containing
a high per cent. of fat is not only worth
more for food, but it costs more to
produce than milk containing a 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
sole With such disregard OF food value.
All milk should be sold according to
It's composition, and not only should
its exact composition be known. but
denn1te grades should be established
with corresponding value. Milk for
direct consumption should not only
have a 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.
prevents the man who produces rich
milk from getting the price he should
according to its food value and cost Of
production. Milk containing 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
erred by its composition and food
| value, and not by its bulk
One hundred pounds of good milk
contains 81 pounds of water, four
pounds of fat, five pouds of milk sugar,
3.S pounds Of casein and aIbumen and
or pound of mineral matter or salts
| Most of the states and many cities re-
quire or 3.5 per cent. of fat and
| or 9.5 per cent. of "solids not fat -
The total solids required thus vary
from IL to 13 per cent, according to
different laws.

er pleasantly, and after few remarks
about the weather and tie crops, ex-
planned his errand.
Want to interview me, eh?" said
the farmer, Il never had any expert
ence givin' interviews, but if your
heart is set on it, go ahead. What do
you want me to talk about?"
WELL" said the reporter, scratching
his nose. reaectively, suppose you
give me your views on reciprocity"
Couldn't have suited me better for
a subject, mister. The fact is I've been
thinkin' a good deal about reciprocity
lately. l believe in it. l don't mean
reciprocity with Cuba nor Canada, al
though that may be all very we'll in
its place. What I want to see is reci-
procity right here in the United States.
l think reciprocity like charity should
begin at home. want the fellows
who have been enjoying the blessings
Of protection for good many years to
reciprocate little with the farmers"
What do you propose?" asked the
wielder of the pencil, who began to
see that he was getting more than he
expected.
WELL" said the farmer, 81 want
some plan adopted by which a part of
the tariff collected will get back to
the rural districts. understand
there's fellow down there in congress
who has introduced bill that will do
the business. l mean that bill pro-
vidin' fer the government to aid in
improvin' the roads in the rural dis
tricts. That would be great blessing
not only to the farmers, but to every
body. Talk about developing re-
sources! I'D like to know what wonld
do more to develop this country than
buildin' good roads. If this plan was
adopted few millions of the taxes
the farmers pay would come back to
them, and there couldn't be no charge of
special privilege, either. for the money
would be spent for public improvement
and would benefit all sections and all
classes Now I want to see the city
people who have been protected so
long turn in and help the farmers get
that law passed. That's the kind of
reciprocity believe in"
How much more the farmer might
have said the reporter will never
know. for the interview was just then
interrupted by a blast from the din
ner horn.

Calves i'm Stalk Fields.

Every autumn brings fresh round
of complaint from farmers losing
calves which are allowed to run in the
stalk fields. Really, such young stock
as calves but recently weaned should
not be compelled to make their living
In this way, for they must eat so much
Of euch Iow-grade feed that their weak
digestion is unequal to the task. The
large amount of sstuff then dries in
the stomach, produces Inflammation
and murrain. However. plenty Of salt
and fresh water will go long way
toward remedying this evil.-D. , B.

DISCOVERY OF DYNAMITE.
Terrible Explosive First Prepure1
by an Italian Chemist in
the Year 1916,

Few people know what dynamite is,
though the word is in common use, says
the American Syren and Shipping Jour-
nal 1t is giant gunpowder; that is, an
explosive material, varying in strength
and safety of handling according to the
percentage of nitroglycerin it con-
tains Nitroglycerin, whence it derives
| its strength, is composed of ordinary
glycerin and nitric acid, compounded to-
gether in certain proportions and at a
certain temperature. NitroglyceriD,
though not the strongest explosive
known, being exceeded in power by nj
trogen and other products of chemistry,
Is thus far the most terrible explosive
manufactured to any extent. Nitro
slycerin by itself is not safe to handle,
hence dynamite is preferred.
1t Is extensively made and consumed
In the United States under the various
names of Giant, Hercules, Jupiter and
Atlas powders, all of which contain
anywhere from 30 to 80 per cent Of NJ
troglycerin, the residue of the compound
being made up of rotten stone, ,nonex-
plosive earth, sawdust, charcoal, plas-
ter Of paris, black powder, or some other
substance that takes up the glycerin
and makes a porous, spongy mass.
Nitroglycerin was discovered by Sal
vero, an Italian chemist, in 1S45. Dyna-
mite is prepared by simply kneading
with the naked hands Is per cent. Of in
fusorial earth and Is per cent of nitro
glycerin until the mixture assumes a
putty condition not unlike moist brown
sugar. Before mixing the infusorial
earth is calcined in a furnace in order
to burn out all organic matter and it is
also sifted to free it of large grains.
While still moist it is squeezed into car
tridges. which are prepared of parch-
ment paper. and tkA firing IS done by
illuminate Of silver In copper capsules
provided with patent exploders.
.Nitroglycerfn is made of nitric acid
one part and sulphuric acid two parts,
to which is added ordinary glycerin,
and the mixture is we'll washed with
pure water. The infusion is composed
of small microscopic silicious shells
which have lost their living creatures.
The cellular parts receive the nitroglyc-
erin and hold it by capillary attraction,
both inside and out. The earth is very
light. Water is expelled from it by
means of furnace and then in the form
of powder it is mixed with nitroglyc-
erin. Nitroglycerin has a sweet, aro-
matte, pungent taste, and the peculiar
property Of causing a violent headache
when placed in small quantity on the
tongue or wrist 1t freezes at 40 degrees
Fahrenheit, becoming a white, half
crystallized mass, which must be melt
ed by the application of water at tenn
perature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

INDIAN AS FOOTBALL PLAYER.
passed in Running and
Tack1inG.

AS matter of prosaic fact, these hard
working and well-behaved wards of the
nation at Carlisle have been from the
start models of disciplined and educated
conduct on the football field as well as
of, and only their shocks of black hair
and their swarthy faces mark them as
unusual or odd when they line, up
against the ''palefaces," says a writer
In the Illustrated Sporting News.
These lads are intensely fond Of foot
ball and they have left in them an in
herited Indifference to ruts and tough
ness of fiber that are their strongest
qualities when added to swiftness and
agility of movement. I have seen them
play through hard game, without one
call for time OUT" because Of injury,
and nearly every one who has Geen
them play must have noticed the fierce
ness of their tackling and their fashion
of breaking out of scrimmage on the
rebound like so many rubber balls. In
running, tackling and aggressive line
breaking the Indians are unsurpassed.
Their weakness is an argument In
favor Of the claim that football is q
question of the trained mind as much
as the powerful body. It is mental
alertness and adaptability that the Car
Isle players find themselves lacking
when they meet the first-class teams.
To analyze and meet the unexpected,
and to solve the problems Of scien-
tiflc attack and defense of q style to
which they are not accustomed puzzles
the slower and less effectively trained
mind of the Indian, and he cannot make
as quick change of mental base as the
white youth. This is to be expected, and
the astonishing feature of it is that the
Indian player is able to make the show
ing he does. He comes to Carlisle from
the reservation 1ittle...savage ana In:
perhaps q half dozen years he Is ffshS
ioned into the clear, alert, self respect
ing young man who delights those who
know good football, played with ardor,
yet with self-control and intelligence
of high order. While his opponents
shout and rave in moments of great
stress, he plays the game in silence,
without show of emotion, whether he
wins or loses-the type Of the true
sportsman. He is a vindication both of
the wholesome training of football in
the development of young manhood and
Of the magnificent work accomplished
by the policy and life work of Col. Pratt
at Carlisle.

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 1t
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
It is for this reason important to make
the process of digestion as easy and
rapid as possible. A good grinder.

THISTLES MAKE GOOD FEED.
On Discovery of This Fact Obnoxious
Weed Ceased to Grow In
Kansas.

F. D. Coburn, secretary of the Kan
sas state board Of agriculture, issued
bulletin two years ago in which LIZ de-
clared that the Russian thistle, when
properly cured, made. excellent feed for
stock. Since then the thistle has
ceased to grow wild in the northwest
ern part of the state, where it was
most plentiful at that time. In many
counties where it was common few
years ago it has become extinct. The
Russian thistle a few years ago was
the most dreaded weed pest known to
farmers It was said that if it once
started it would drive out all other
vegetables. Notwithstanding all pre-
cautions, the seed was brought into
northwestern Kansas with other seed
and the plant gained firm foothold
in several counties. The papers print
ed columns about the necessity of up
roofing it and the legislature passed q
law on the subject, but the thistle con-
tinued to thrive. =, -f-f- .'~
Then cattlemen in the northwest dis
covered that cattle eat it and they tried
putting up some as hay. The expert
ment was success, as the cattle would
eat it in preference to most other kinds
of hay, and it produced good results
Now it seems that the weed is dying
out, since it has been. discovered to
have merits. 5lzE--,r, E:=s.s--
A report from Wyoming says that an
attempt to cultivate the plant there as
a forage crop was a failure owing to
the wet season. It is said that in ordi-
nary years this weed can be raised in
large quantities on the Laramie plains,
as 1t flourishes on extremely dry
ground. Cattle deyour 1t eagerly.

DISCOURAGING GERMS,

Billions.

We can get on the good side of a dog
by patting his head and we can please

or by putting the weight Of our hand on
them. If they won't be petted or tanned
we can pick up q rock and let them

But when a creature has no tail to
wag and nothing to purr with, how can
we pet it? How can we, without getting
a crick in the neck, stoop down far
enough to say pretty microbe!" to
something that is to US as a grain of

If it comes to exterminating them,
what chance have we with a creature
that every two hours breaks into two
