PLATT and ODELL DON'T MEET
GOVERNOR-ELECT GOES FROM
ONE TO THE OTHER,
but Says He Did Not Talk senatorship
or tmastership-AnxiOus to Make
. Peace-Odeil Does Not Reply to
Senator PIatts Remarks OF Friday.

Governor Chairman Odell came dow from
Albany yesterday morning and stayed in
town until evening. but he did not SEQ
Senator Platt. He did, however, have a
talk with hGovernor-elect Higgins, and after
ward Mr.. Higgins called on Senator Platt.
This procedure led to some talk at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to the effect that Mr.. Hig-
gins was acting as a sort OF interviewer,
and that his conferences with the Governor
Chairman and Senator Platt were for the
purpose Of bringing about settlement OF
the Senatorial situation and an agreement
upon a recommendation to President Roose-
welt for the postmastership.
There was nothing more substantial
than gossip behind these reports. Gov
ernor-elect Higgins himself said that his
consultations with Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Odell
were devoted entirely to the discussion
OF certain details Of the policy he will outline
for himself in his first message to the Legis-
lature and to seeking the views Of Messrs.
Platt and Odell upon the appointments
he will be called upon to make when he
takes Office. Mr.. Higgins is anxious that
his appointments shall be such as to end
rather than foster variances between the
h heads of the Republican party in the State.
Mr.. Odell would make no comment on
the rather sharp remarks concerning him
self which Senator Plat uttered on Friday
night. except to say:
Il don't want TO talk on Mr.. Plstt's in
terview, because while anything I might
say would possibly add to the gayety Of
nations Il would certainly not add to the
harmony Of our party in this s tate"
Before he went home last night to New
burgh Mr., Odell repeated what he has said
at least dozen times already, that he was
anxious only to bring about harmony in
the State; that he had no candidate Of his
own for either the United States Senate
or for the Postmastership, and declared
again that he was not aware that Mr.. Black
was to he put in the field against Mr.. Depew.
'The only announced candidate to sue
ceed Mr.. Depew in the United States Senate
is Mr. Depew himself and 30 far as know
he is the only aspirant for the place, was
the way Mr.. Odell replied to inquiries as
to the possibility Of a fight being made
against the return Of Senator Depew.
Mr.. Higgins went home to Olean last
night. Both he and Mr.. Odell will be back
in the city early in the coming week to con-
suit with the Republican leaders Of the
Legislature on plans for and to map
out the work Of the next session at Albany.

SiIo Building

professor Mckay of Iowa Is credit
ed with the statement that there are
probably not more than ten silos in
Iowa. This is surprising in view of
the fact that silage is one of the best
foods in the world for dairy cows.
The maximum feed of silage for dairy
cows is 40 pounds and an acre Of
good corn will provide the rough feed
for COW for $50 days. Think of it!
of the corn up clean when it is served
to her in the form of silage. 1t is
surprising to learn that in some of the
states of the Union this great saving
Is ignored. This is especially the case
in Iowa and Illinois. There are states
In the Union where silos are numer.
GUS, notably Wisconsin and New York.
Professor Mckay says that in Iowa
milk is produced as extensively as 1t
was 20 years ago, in spite Of the
steady advance in price of the land,
and the consequent necessity of pro-
ducing milk more cheaply. 1t is safe
to say that il every farm that has
dairy cows on it also had a silo, thous-
ends of the cows that now do not pay
their board would be kept at a profit,
because the feeding of high-priced
feed to poor cows is one of the surest
ways to lose money. We have advo-
Gated the letting go of the poor cows,
but if the farmers are determined to
hold onto them they should at least
stop feeding them high-priced feed
out of which the cows find 1t impos-
sible to return profit.

Dairy Associations.

Most of our agricultural associa.
lions are conducted on a high moral
plane and the more this is the case
the easier will it be to make them eff
fective in the performance Of the
work they are organized to do. The
dairy association, the association Of
creamery managers. the association
of creamery buttermakers, and what
ever the name of the association may
be, will do well to see to 1t that a war
is made on every form of dishonest
dealing. Dishonest practices can be
prevented almost entirely when asso.
Citations of the kind named take a
firm stand in regard to them, so far
as those practices are found among
their own members. There is moth
ing so potent as public opinion, and
frequently this is enough when mani
tested to stop abuses.

"A Good example.

Many OF our milk producers can
well afford to take hint from the
great bottling establishments as to
the care of their milk. We wish that
when the opportunits comes readers
OF this department would make 1t
point to visit some of these places
and see the extraordinary care that is
used in cleaning bottles that have held
milk, and in keeping clean all things
that are to contain milk, or that are
to come into contact with milk. What
these establishments do on a large
scale the farmer can do on small
scale. If it pays the big establish
ments to keep clean it will pay the
small establishments to do likewise.
Water and heat are used in great
abundance. 1t may not be possible
to have steam in the farm home, but
hot water can always be had in large
quantities. Hot water is destructive
OF germ life ii it is left long enough
in contact with the utensils. The
man that has a good deal of milk to
handle will find 1t to his advantage
to arrange for tanks Of hot water in
places where he can use the water
when it is needed. Frequently the
little kitchen stove and the teakettle
are the only means of heating water,
and when the farmer has dozen
cows, this way Of heating the water
makes 1t necessary to be very econ
omical in using it. The gallon of hot
water has to be diluted with cold wa
ter to make it go around, and the tenn
perature that results is not too high
for germ life to stand. In the, big es-
adjustments the bottles and other
utensils receive a soaking in hot wa
ter that will remove any kind of
germ or put it in a condition where
1t cannot develop. 1t is often said that
1t is possible to have too much of
good thing, but this is hardly true of
hot water and heat in the cleansing
OF utensils and vessels used in the
milk room. We believe that the men
that are running the big bottling es-
& Establishments are setting an example
that should be followed as far as it is
possible to do so. y
