Peril in CoId-kcpt Milk.

Mr.. H. w. Conn. the bacteriologist Of storrs.
Conn., says that while milk at degrees Fahren-
heit may keep not longer than forty-eight hours.
at 50 degrees Fahrenheit it may not curdle for
two weeks At 50 degrees the ordinary milk or
ganisms increase very slowly; but, on the other
hand. the putrefactive bacteria continue to de-
velop rapidly and while they may not sour the
milk. nevertheless they make it unwholesome
For this reason Mr.. Conn says that milk which
has been kept sweet by low temperature should
be viewed with suspicion. Companion.

The increased cost to the rs

spirators $4,000, 900"
Attorney Shearn. unse for William
r. Hearst in his complaint of collision
on TT part of the anthracite coal car
rylng roads to charge exhorbitant
prices. made the statement today be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion. A heated argument followed be-
tween counsel, end the commission fin
ally instructed A. S. Baker, auditor IF
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad coal department, to SUBJ
NIT a more complete statement of the
company's expenses and receipts in
mining and selling Goa.
George BroWnell of the Erie railroad
objected to the statement of Attorney
Shearn, claiming ii was misleading and
untrue. He declared that the figures
quoted showed only the items of in
crease for labor in mining and pro-
ducing coal, and that numerous other
items Of expense in coal production
were not taken into consideration. He
protested there was no basis for she al
legation of any such profits as were
named, and that the estimates were
based on cost of prepared sizes. while,
as a matter of fact all the smaller sizes
of coal under domestic are sold at a
loss.
A. S. Baker. auditor of the Delaware,
Lackawanna ana Western Railroad
coal department, identified a statement
submitted by the Lackawanna railroad
which showed that the cost Of pro-
ducirg coal averaged S1.37 for the six
months ending April, 1900, and S .S7 for
the six months ending April, 1904. This
increase of SO cents. Mr.. Baker ex-
planned, applied only to the cost Of
labor.
'T e labor cost is increasing every
year" he said, and a days work does
not purchase as much coal as it did be-
fore"
Mr.. Baker explained that his state
ment, which showed that the total
amount of coal mined and bought by
the road was 9,130.o0o tons and that it
was sold for $16,327.6s2. an average of
Sl.l79 per ton, and did not include the
price received for small sizes.
James f. Childs. vice president and
general manager Of the New York, On
tarto and Western railroad, said his
company handled much oft coal. and
declared 1t cost twice as much to move
a thracite coal as 1t did soft coal. He
said his company frequently had $500
or 5000 cars IoaSrl with anthracite on
the tracks without n market. He could
not recall an instance where the price
was lowered to get rid of the surplus.
