tional American Woman Suffrage asso-
citation. Woman's brain cannot plan
large enterprises? Mary Garrett Hay
is proof TO the contrary
The political party that could secure
her as state organizer might deem
itself well of. In California in 1896,
at the time OF the adoption OF the state
constitution, a strenuous effort was
made TO incorporate woman suffrage
as plank. Miss Hay had charge OF
the whole state campaign for the wo-
mans cause. She appointed her lieu
tenants-brave. willing and earnest as
herseif-and they did heroic work
fought their battle from start 10 finish
They almost won it. how near few
in the United States know. Woman
suffrage was carried throughout the
whole state as far as Sacramento. Then
in the three cities of Sacramento. Oak
land and San Francisco the women
were beaten by between 5000 and 5000
votes.
Bitterest dose of all. it was the Chi
nese vote that did it. You did not know
that Chinese could vote in this country
Well, neither did l until Miss Hay re-
minded me the other day that all male
natives in this land have the birthright
of suffrage, and there you are. Chinese
have been coming TO California and
bringing their female counterparts now
more than forty years Thousands of
Chinese-as much Chinese as if they
had never seen American soil-have
been born and reared TO mans estate
in San Francisco and its vicinity. and
they can vote. Moreover, the very eIe-
ments that ordinarily are most rabid

him out 10 the last unit and made him
cast his ballot TO keep the ballot right
from white women. So there you are

DIFFERENCE IN MILK.
Method of Selling by Measure Alone,
Regardless of Value, Is 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 a
lack OF knowledge ds to what consti-
tutes good milk and partly because
milk is an opaque liquid, and it is diff
hcult to judge its composition or food
value by appearance. MAX containing
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
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 we'll, and should be produced
under inspection
It would be as reasonable to expect
to purchase three pounds of round
ha
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 a 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 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,
3.3 pounds of casein and albumen and
or pound of mineral matter or salts.
Most of the states and many cities re-
| quire 8 or 3.5 per cent. of fat and
8 or 9.5 per cent. of solids not fat. -
The total solids" required thus vary
from - to 10 per cent. according to
different laws.

TH1sTLEs 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 he 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 few years ago was
the most dreaded weed pest known to
farmers 1t 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 a
law on the subject, but the thistle con-
tinued to thrive.
Then cattlemen in the northwest dis
covered that cattle eat it and they tried
putting up some as hay. The expert
ment was a 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.
A report from Wyoming says that an
attempt to cultivate the plant there as
forage crop was a failure owing to
the wet season. 1t is said that in ordi-
