The Telephone War.

After an exciting contest, and by Il
vote of to ;, the assembly committee
has reported the bill to make telephone
rates uniform. It is in the interest of
the independent telephone companies,
which say the big Wisconsin company
furnishes telephones at an absurdly
low rate, and even free in one city, in
order to ruin rival, making up the
deficit from some other city. The in
dependent companies are pretty strong
in Wisconsin, and will count up many
votes in both branches, though the
question of constitutionality is raised
against the bill. It is unique prop
osition, to propose that a company
shall not charge more for telephones
in one city than in another of the same
class as to population, but these quasi
public institutions in private hands are
leading the state into unique situa-
tons. Not Until public ownership is
introduced can these vexatiOus ques-
tons be settled.

Fresh Interest in Freight Rates.
The administration has been taking
the liveliest interest of late in the
freight rate bill, which proposes a
state commission and maximum
charges. At first the railroads had
things their own way and petitions
focked in from shippers to the effect
that they wanted no politics injected
in trade relations with railroads. Later
the administration got to work and
now petitions are coming in in favor
of the bill. Il will be reported favor
ably this week and the administration
figures that they can force it through
the assembly, though there is doubt Of
it. Of course it can never get through
the senate. This measure has merit
if coming as pure business PROPOSE
ton, but, as with other bills this win
ter, the unfortunate fractional fight has
so embittered influential men in the
legislature and over the state that they
the big administration measures are
interpreted by the governors oppon-
ents as political rather than public.
To revert to the freight rate bill, if
Governor LaFollette does not get
things at this session and decides to
throw himself again on the people, it
is believed this issue will be put to
the front IT touches citizens more
closely than does the primary election
bill, and has fresher smack to it.
The railroad men, of course, are
strongly opposed to the bill.

A great many people who discover
faint in milk are at 4 loss to know the
cause of it. Being accustomed to their
own management, they do not know
where to seek the cause. There are
many ways by which milk can become
tainted. A great many people still cling
to the use of wooden pals in the dairy.
This is one cause for tainted milk. The
wood Of the pals, being porous, alb
serbs milk which continues to undergo
changes in the pores of the wood, and
it is next to or quite impossible to keep
them clean and sweet. Another source
of tainted milk is in not airing the cans
ard cooling them before the warm milk
is put in them. The quicker the milk
is cooled after it is removed from the
COW the less susceptible it is to faint of
any kind.
Keeping the milk too long in filthy
and urkempt stables is another source
of trouble along this line. Milk alb
serbs bad odOrs very readily, and for
this reason it should never be put in a
vegetable cellar or a cave where bad
CdOrs abound. Most hOuSeheepers have
observed how readily milk, cream and
butter become tainted when put in a re-
| frigeratOr box with other articles kept
there. Oranges, lemons and strawber-
ries will transmit their various odors to
milk, cream and butter kept in a re-
frigeratOr with them. These may not
be unpleasant to some people, but most
people like to have these three articles
in their natural flavor Such vegeta-
bles as onions, cabbage and others less
pungent will transmit very unpleas-
ant faint to milk.-HC homestead
Creamery Versus Dairy.
One Of the advantages Of the cream
cry over the dairy is the making of
butter on a larger scale, which con-
duces to a greater uniformity of prod
uct, says an exchange Where cream
cry gets a good reputation for a nice
and uniform quality Of goods in any
quantity and style of package there is
an advantage to both manufacturers
and dealers in disposng of them with
out the necessity Of personal inspection.
