EVENTS IN SWEDEN

At the end OF the fiscal year the
Swedish budget showed surplus.
That OF Norway showed deficit.
Norway asked for an independent
system and separate consuls. King
Oscar OF Sweden refused to approve
the bill providing therefor, whereup-
on the Norwegian ministry resigned,
and the ancient kingdom of the Ber-
serkers declared its independence.
Under the coalition constitution,
Norway is entitled to separate par
lament and ministry, and her demand
was therefore made strictly within
her rights.
The coalition between Sweden and
Norway has lasted for nearly one
hundred years 1t was doubtless
brought about. by the necessity tor
mutual protection from the grasp
ing greed OF Russia; which, ever
since it rose to power, has looked
with coveteous eyes on tbs Northern
peninsula as affording the much
loneed for seaport or maritime out

Russia ambitions as . wa-!' COW

greatness.
From that time to this haunting
dread OF both Sweden and Norway
has been Russian aggression. Two
weak nations are stronger than -,
but even combined, and brave aTd
hberty-loving as are the people
both. Sweden and Norway would be
helpless against the great empire Of
the Gar; the population OF the unit
ed countries not being over fifteen
million.
Probably, except for the distur-
bance OF the balance Of power, and
fear Of united opposition by the other
nations Of Europe. Russia would long
ago have absorbed both. Now, how
ever. the fear OF Russia no longer
exists. The David OF the far East
has stretched the giant Of Europe
helpless and perhaps dying in the
dust. and Norway can with safety dis
solve the bonds that have long been
CALLING her.
The moment chosen for the dissolu
ton is indeed psychological, and de-
spite the disfavor Of King Oscar the
probabilities are that Norway will
hereafter be an independent kingdom
under prince Of the royal house Of
Sweden, or possibly even Republic.

THE COUNTY PAPER

Hearst's Chicago American hands
this editorial boquet to the county
press:
1T would be a misfortune to the
country if the few big papers in the
big cities should interfere seriously
with the publication OF the valuable
and intelligent local newspapers
upon these local newspapers the well
fare of the country largely depends.
The metropolitan daily cannot posi-
bly, know the needs OF the various To-
calities and small cities. Only the
local newspapers can protect Local
needs and influence local opinion. OF
course we are very glad to have as
many people as possible to read the
Chicago American, i'll the big cities
and in the little cities. But we hope
that in every small town and every vi
1age there will be enough intelligence
and public spirit on the part OF tn To-
cal inhabitants to support earnestly
and enthusiastically the local newspa'
per, giving encouraging appreciation
and a good living to the editor, who
alone can represent and defend jus
tice and public spirit among his
neighbors. The man is unfortunate
who cannot afford to take two news
papers at today's prices. The man who
canafford only one newspaper. in on
opinion should display his public spir
it and his sense of duty to his localit,
by taking the local newspaper"

this is only one example of the
carlessness and thoughtlessness Of
mankind in dealing with his friends

the destruction of birds of any var

IS folly which, if persisted in to the
extinction or material di1ninution Of
certain species, will have the effect OF
increasing. in direct ratio, the nox-
ious forms OF life on which the bird
preys.
1t IS quite true that all States have
laws for the protection OF what are
known as singing birds, and in some
sections Of the country these laws
are effectively enforced but not III

statutes: The bird is confding and

that the captive birds die before

For the Dairy Farmer.

Some COWS hold their milk because
the mixer is not good one. Another
person might milk them and have no
trouble that way. 1t pays to study this
characteristic in the various members
of the herd.
We never yet saw dairyman proud
of his dairy but what he made money
handsome money. Pride will lead
man to do the things he should do to
make it a success. We need a great
many more prideful farmers.
Dairying is cash business. The
COW pays for her board every day II
she is of the right kind, and in this
connection the wise dairyman is par
ticular to note whether the COWS do
pay for their board Or not, as he is not
anxious to run charitable institution.
"Any salt" isn't good enough for
your dairy butter, for salt has lot
to do with the quality and keeping
properties of the butter made. Only
the best quality must be used. What
if it does cost a trifle more, and
large quantity is used; good return
for good butter will soon make up the
extra outlay.
A difference of only one quart OF
milk per day for ten months between
two COWS amounts to 800 quarts,
which will be worth from ten to TWEEN
ty dollars, according to the price OBJ
tanned per quart. This fact should
convince all who sell milk from the
farm that it does not pay to keep
any but the best cows.
1t is impossible to tell what per cent
of fat the milk from a cow contains
without testing it. The value of the
COW depends on the amount of butter
fat she produces. The milk can be
weighed, but the butter fat cannot be
weighed; it must be determined by
testing, and so why not test and know
If the cow is paying for herself

A H. Stewart, of the Philadelphia
BOARD of Health, thinks that milk
dealers would not be warranted in
raising their prices in consequence of
substituting the new bottle for the old.
however, one important effect which
he anticipates from the innovation is
that the operation of bottling will be
transferred from the headquarters of
fhe city dealer to the dairy farm.
Heretofore the danger of breaking
during shipments has been formid-
able obstacle to such change, which
is extremely desirable from sanitary
considerations, and possibly that OBJ
stacle may now be removed.
The operation of washing returned
milk bottles is today conducted with
various degrees of thoroughness. In
instances, no doubt, it is we'll done.
Nevertheless, many shocking stories,
which probably have good founda-
lion, are told about the carelessness
of lazy drivers of city milk wagons. 1t
is said that they often refill dirty bot
ties without cleaning them at all.
Even when the bottles are brought
back to the milk shop to be reflled,
the task of preparing them for fresh
service is often performed so negli-
gently that they might as we'll have
been let alone entirely. Obviously, il
a milk bottle is discarded forever after
doing duty once there can not be any
risk to health from this source.

Their separator embodies every good

the thing has got to be problem.
Reason seems to indicate the desir-
ability of protection. Screens are
put to the openings in some COW
stables, but the most common remedy
for the fly nuisance is spraying with
some fluid that either kills or dis
courages the pests. In either case it
is expensive and troublesome. DR.. G.

Storrs Comm Experiment Station,
says that the annoyance of COWS by
flies seems to be over-estimated, and
that certain proprietary ointments,
