Even.Handed Justice.

The dairy and food commissioner of
Wisconsin is furnishing the hotel and
restaurant keepers of that state for
violating the law that makes it mis-
demeanor to offer for sale milk that
has been skinned or watered. 1t
seems that Commissioner Emery con-
siders that watering or Swimming Of
milk by the hotels and restaurants
as much a violation of the law as
watering or skimming by the farmers.
law will be greatly appreciated by the
travelling men who are sometimes
forced to take a meal over some of
the railroad lunch counters. The ac-
ton that the commissioner has taken
in this matter is to be commended, as
the law should be no respecter of per-
son or place, and it should be con-
sidered as much of a crime to water
or skim milk in a hotel or restaurant
as it is on the farm. The manager of
hotel or lunch counter may buy
quart of milk from a farmer for five
cents, and if it should be watered,
skinned or fail to test three and a
half per cent butter fat, the farmer
is liable to a fine Of $25. The average
lunch vender skins the top from this
quart of milk to cream the coffee and
divides the balance into from five to
seven glasses, and sells it for from 5
to 10 cents a glass. Many travelling
man can testify to paying 10 cents a
glass for milk that had been both
skinned and watered. 1t is gratifying
to learn that the dairy inspectors of
Wisconsin are making it unpleasant
for the people that have been out
rageously skimnling and watering the
milk for the travelling public.

We notice that the fox squirrel in

found along almost every large hedge
and in the groves about the farmers

better protection there than in the
timber along the creeks, for the farm

Did you ever ride through the "El-
gin District of Northern Illinois and
look out of the car window? You don't
have to guess whether the farmers
in that section are makinga money.
The improvements show this at a
glance.
Winter cows give the consumer fresh

stock and also help to make living

that they do produce in summer, and
paralyze the butter spectators who
want low prices in summer and high
prices in winter
Potatoes that are too small to mar
ket may be used to advantage as
food for young pigs. Many farmers
consider it no loss to have from two
to three per cent of their potato crop
too small for commercial use, as it
gives them such good winter pig
food. 1t requires but short time to
cook them, in which way they are vsry
beneficial. A little salt added whiio
they are boiling will give them a rel
ish.
Isn't it about time that the slaugtl-
ter houses paid as much for a heifar
as for steer of the same class?
If you are raising draft colts, give
them food that will put on weight a,

Something is crowding the hog chol-
