LICENSING OF MILKMEN
FARMERS WAS FAVORED

There was a conference yesterday at the
agriculture's executive committee and the
Newport Association for the Prevention
OF tuberculosis in addition to the cattle
commissioners and lots of light was
thrown upon the milk business.
Various methods by which milk dealers
defraud the public were exposed. and the
unreliability OF tuberculin tests was ar
gued by Dr.. Pollard and Cattle Commits
sioner Turner.
The members OF the Newport associa-
ton want the Board OF Agriculture to ac-
cept certificates OF the killing OF COWS up
on the verdict OF tuberculin tests. and the
proper compensation for the owners ~
such cattle. The claim is thus made that
the expense to the state will be lessened,
as II will do away with the expensive
trips OF cattle commissioners and the vet
%erinarian.
The members OF the board and its cat
tie commissioners and DIR. Pollard, how
ever, combated that claim with charges
hat certificates OF such tests are easily
bought without the making Of the test.
During the talk Christopher Easton.
secretary OF the Newport association,
stated that during the past u or IL years
nearly 5000 cattle nav been killed, at a
cost to the state Of over 800. 900 to do II.
And yet the disease among cattle is no
more exterminated than in the beginning.
h board and the commissioners In
ormed Mr.. Easton that the legislature
never could be convinced of the practical
bility, or the necessity, OF such a plan
About the only thing the conferees could
agree upon was the ~desirability OF licens-
Ing all farmers who handle milk.

started home with the big bird dangling
over his shoulder, while he kept tight hold
of its legs
The village jokers. who were in the

solved TO have svne fun at his expense,

up the road.
He was whisling Turkey I'm the
Straw" when they sprang out I'm front OF
him to commanded him 10 throw up his
hands. Sundry drinks of good old Passaic
apple1ack had given Grace more courage
than he usually possesses. Besides, he
thought he recognized his friend CARR
son's voice.
He made believe he was frightened. but
when the three got near enough he struck
out right and left with the turkey and be-
Ia them until they cried out I'm pain.
Grace never let up until his assailants fed
across the field from whence they had
come.
Il guess that will hold them for a
while" he chuckled as he continued on
home with what was left Of the turkey.
The jokers were not In evidence at the

The Legislature, In changln the snlall-
est sum at which damages could be laid

titled TO costs. There was no exception
made as to pending cases. There is now.
as there has long been, a provision that
