The Woman's Club of Grants Pass
las stepped to the front rank in club
dom in Oregon by demonstrating it's
ability to "do things" Although but
a few months old, it has set in motion
certain wheels of progress that will
result in the erection of a fine library
building. Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has
promised them five thousand dollars
for this purpose, provided they raise
five hundred dollars annually for its
maintenance. Undoubtedly small
city tax will be levied for this amount,
and it will not be long before this
dream will be realized and modern
artistic structure will be a substantial
reminder of what a little well-directed
effort will accomplish.

EXPERIMENT STATION WORK.
Importance of Pure Milk for Mich
Cows.

Cows.
Typhoid fever has often been as
cribed to a contaminated milk supply.
AS during the summer and fall, when
this disease prevails, cows are fire.
quently forced to get their drinking
water from sloughs and stagnant
ponds which may be contaminated
with the germs of typhoid fever, it is
important to know whether such
germs find they way into the milk
supply through the COW or by contain
nation of the milk after it is drawn
from the COW. This matter has been
the subject of very careful investl-
cation by e. F. PernOt, of the Ore
gon experiment station, who admins
tered various germs, including that
which causes typhoid fever, to COW
and examined the milk and excreta
obtained for the presence OF the
germs. 1t was found "D that pure
culture of typhoid bacilli mixed with
water and given to the COW to drink
did not pass into the milk; CD that
they did not pass from the COW alive
with the urine Although the
results in this experiment have been
negative in transmitting the germs
from polluted water to the milk sup
ply through the cow, it does not fol-
low that the danger from cows using
such water does not exist"
AS COWS frequently stand in the
water to escape flies or to cool them
selves, and their udders may thus
become contaminated with the pol
luted water, Investigations were made
to determine to what extent germs
in this way enter the teats and con-
taminate the milk "The cow used
in this work was Jersey about 4
years old, with fair-shaped udder,
good teats of medium size, reasOna-
bly, easy to milk" The teats were
dipped in water containing the germs
and allowed to dry naturally After
the lapse of several hours milk was
drawn and examined for the germs
but none were found, showing that
they were not taken into the udder by
capillary attraction through the teat
orifice.
There is no doubt that there is
great variation in the teats of diff
ferent mich cows A teat possessing
weak sphincter muscles is imperfect
ly closed at it's extremity and must
necessarily be more accessible for bac-
terra to enter through the duct and
invade the contents of the udder,
while another teat having good mus
cular contracting power would be less
likely to admit germs. Yet it seems
almost impossible that any moist mus

Our plan of operating is as follows:
A., enterprising town or village is Sc
tied for the central office, and all
..,nnany meetings are also held there.
nos are run in all directions from
no central office, each line being a
,..rtv line. with from four to seven
titles on each line, although five and
-. is the number set by our bylaws
f., each line except in extreme cases.
qhe patrons on each separate line
renresent a company, which selects
ore of it's stockholders-each party
being a stockholder-to represent the
company to the general company,
which is formed by one member from
each of these small or line compan-
les. and all line companies are con-
troled by the general company.
In our general company we have
a president, vice-president, secretary
and a treasurer, also a board OF
trustees composed of five members.
Tn the matter of construction it is
the duty of the board of trustees to
have all lines measured and staked
where poles are to go and thus de-
termine the number of poles, cross
arms and pins or brackets required
to construct all lines, and then deter
mine the number of poles, etc., each
man must furnish to construct the en-
tire system. In the matter of wire
this can also be divided up equally
among all; or probably better plan
is to let each line or individual COM
pany furnish the wire for it's own COM
pany, each party sharing alike. A
good plan is to have each individual
company furnish the general company
at least 100 pounds of wire, to be held
in a reserve for the purpose OF con-
structing connecting lines to connect
the central Office with the central Of
flee in other towns.
Free exchange is given between all
these central Offices, thus completely
connecting large districts, and any
patron Oh any Individual COlupduy Can
talk with patron of any other indi-
vidual company free, though they may
be a hundred or a thousand miles
apart.
By having, say, five patrons on each
individual line, and having, say, forty
or fifty such lines, it gives one a
chance to talk with 200 or ESQ different
parties, and if connection is estab-
lished with, say, from five to ten
other villages, having like number
of phones, one can talk with from
1000 to $500 people.
Practical use has demonstrated that
where there are no trolley or electric
light wires or iron pipes to influence
lines, that ground circuit lines with
bridging phones installed will give a
thoroughly practical service; but
where the aforementioned influences
exist only metallic circuit lines and
bridging phones will prove satisfac-
y tory. The metallic circuit requires
two wires, while the ground circuit
requires but one.

shut out an organism of such minute
dimensions, especially those like ty-
phoid, which are actively motile.
1t is generally believed that micro
organisms gain access to the milk in
the cows udder through the teat, but
in this case they did not, although
the result might not be the same with
all COWS.
Even if it should be proven that
milk is not contaminated in this way
the danger is not removed, because
the body of a COW which has been
wading in impure water is itself a
source of contamination, since it is
impossible to milk such a COW with
out particles of material falling into
the milk and carrying with it in
Vulnerable germs. This we know oc-
ours to such an extent that it is Gus
tomary to strain the milk to remove
the particles of foreign matter. When
archaeological study is made of this
sediment the number and kinds of
these germs found are truly surpris-
ing. If all the germs thus entering
the milk would remain in the sediment
it would be oil right, but unfortu-
nately, dropping into the milk with
this foreign matter, the germs are
liberated through constant agitation
incident to milking. AS warm milk is
a very suitable material for germs to
grow in, especially typhoid-fever
germs, the number which would null
tiply in twelve hours from the few
introduced at the time of milking
would be enormous and dangerous"
On this point R. H. Forbes, of the
Arizona station, says:
when a COW wades belly deep into
filthy pool fostering in the heat
and fouled with excretions, her milk
will inevitably suffer. Not only will
the foul odors of the water she
drinks be impaired in some measure
to the milk, but millions of bacteria,
adhering to her hair and udder, will,
when she is dried off and MIXED, find
their way as dust into the milk pail.

It would seem that these are suffi-
cient reasons why COWS should be pre-
vented from having access to foul wa
ter, but there is the additional rea-
son of danger to the health OF the
animal from disease germs which may
be present.
Although these are dangers that it is
we'll worth while to guard against, II
is evident, as Mr.. Pernot points out,
that outbreaks of typhoid fever oc-
cur which, if the cause were carefully
traced, would be found to come not
from the milk as it leaves the COW,
but from vessels which had been
washed with contaminated water,
and he calls attention to the fact that
since "the advent of the cream sep
arator, which is usually driven by
steam power, steam has been used to
clean all the utensils in the dairy.
Not only is it efficient for this pur-
pose, but as a germ destroyer there
is nothing better, because it pene-
trates to the bottom of the seams

occurred in 1895. On each anniversary Mr..
Emmerich has appropriate exercises In the
auditorium and the custom will be followed
again. The students usually dismissed
early in the day. When the building opened
over zoo students came the first day, al
though by no means that number had been
expected. Since that time the enrolment
and the conveniences have greatly in
creased. The actual daily attendance is
now 1878. BY September the new addition
will have been fully equipped and with a
fine gymnasium close at hand the school
will certainly be the best Of its kind in the
country.
\An unusually large number of students
will take the postgraduate course this year.
In a class Of fifty-two, forty-five will re-
main until June.
Exercises were held in the auditorium
Friday afternoon during the third hour.
Mr.. Emmerich gave talk on the different
phases Of school life, mentioning the fact
that he was pleased to note an increasing
friendliness between the two high schools.
Mr.. Moore rendered several selections on the
piano: Among them were the "Minuet" and
