Many eastern cities are now In tho

adopting resolutions endorsing the

which has received the approval OF
President Roosevelt.
In Chicago, Tuesday night. the med
ical society. with membership OF
more than 1000, went on record In
opposition to the pure food commits
sion as now organized. with mem
bership composed entirely of poiiti-
clans. Radical amendments to the
pure food law were recommended,
transferring the duties of the commis-
sion TO the state board OF health. and

OF food products in charge of the lab
oratory of the state university.
Physicians Aroused.
Denver physicians are becoming

OF the Times to protect the health and
lives of the citizens by giving them
pure food In place OF the aduterated
products now sold throughout the
city, and active steps are expected
soon TO be taken by the local medical
organization.
The public as n whole Ia becoming
aroused. The cooperation of all the
citizens Is needed in this movement
and one OF the greatest helps that can
be given Is for the people who have
been poisoned by impure foods to
bring samples to the office OF the
Times.
Careful analysis OF the food will be
made by the Times chemist and
where deleterious substances are
found the dealer will be prosecuted
and publicly exposed for the better
protection Of the lives OF Denyer's

Treatment of Foul Brood.
Of. G.. Herman.)

The one crucial test to detect foul
brood is the color and consistency
of the dead larvae affected with the
disease before it dries up. At this
stage the matter is always ropy, of
peculiar odor, and the cappings of
the diseased cells are generally dark
er in color than those of healthy ones,
besides being sunken or fiattened, and
often having irregular perforations OF
varying sizes. The comb containing
much of the disease presents an alto
gether sickly appearance. The cure
is difficult, from the fact that it is hard
to discover the disease in it's incipient
stage, in every colony, and to deter
mine such colonies in which germs Of
the disease are lying dormant. The
cure of any particular colony is very
simple and certain, the precautions to
be observed having to do with prevent
ing the access of bees from healthy
colonies to the diseased combs. To
preclude this danger, all the neces
sary operations must be performed
when no bees are flying, or when the
pasturage offers so much nectar that
there is no disposition to rob.
u0S6 OSCul GU, LCthO ulF =
as near like the one containing the
diseased colony as possible, and hav-
ing moved the hive with the colony
to one side, place the new one, fur
nished with starters, on the old stand,
then run the bees into the new hive by
shaking or driving. If nectar is scarce
or absent, absconding must be guard
ed against and feeding resorted to.
Scantily feed for a few days; after
that, as plentifully as is desired.
1t is preferable to attend to the
cure during honey flow. Sometimes
when the disease is discovered, there
are large amounts of healthy brood in
colonies that are to be treated, which
sometimes casts swarms in the swarm
ing season. In such cases hive the
swarms on foundation or on frames
with starters, always avoiding combs
for this purpose.
In three weeks shake out the bees

a week later when the COW was calm
and the dog chained up the test ran
up to 62 per cent of butter fat. Is any
moral necessary? Does not this dog
and COW incident show that gentle
handling of COWS pays the biggest
kinds of dividends?
A gallon of cream weighs eight
pounds. Then gallon of cream test
ing twenty per cent will contain 1.6
pounds of butter fat; adding one-fifth
of this gives 1872 pounds of butter. A
gallon of cream testing forty-five per
cent will contain SO pounds butter
fat; and adding one-fifth to this makes
4.32 pounds butter Hence in a gallon
of cream testing twenty per cent fat
the amount of butter that may be OBJ
tanned is 1872 pounds and from cream
testing forty-five per cent, the weight
of butter is 4.32 pounds. These are
approximate figures and show what
may be obtained under average con-
ditiOnS.
Ira P Whitney, secretary of the
State Dairymen's Association and dali
ry instructor at the State College, has
spent the past month in the cream
cries and in visiting the dairymen in
Snohomish county. He has been made
a deputy dairy and pure food commits
sioner by State Commissioned Davies,
under whose authority he is inspecting
the cream received at the various fac
tories in the county named. His work
among the dairymen is of an educa-
tional nature and we have no doubt
but what the results will be great,
both in the improvement of conditions
at the creameries, and more cleanly
and sanitary methods in the dairy
barns.
In a recent report published by the
Iowa state dairy commissioner the av-
erage cost of producing one pound of
butter is given as follows: In the
creamery making 10000 pounds of but
ter per annum it costs four cents to
make one pound of butter, and in the
creameries producing $4,000 pounds,
it costs ga cents to make one pound;
while in creameries making 100000
pounds a year it costs only 1.85 cents.
In some of the very large central
plants producing over 100000 pounds
it costs IA cent pound. These fig
ures clearly show that the larger the
creamery, the cheaper butter can be
manufactured and they also show that
at least 400 COWS tributary to one fac
tory are required before a profitable
creamery business can be established.

at is certainly impossible for COW
to be two things-a first-class beef ami
NAL and a most profitable dairy COW,

ferent, and the characteristics con-
tinually at war with each other
The COWS should be protected from

Our dairy exports for last year were:
Butter, 1901 ,487 pounds; cheese, TO-
134,424 pounds. Besides, we exported
$4,000 900 pounds of oleomargarine
and oleo oil.

Now is the time to put old animals
in condition to SELL Begin to feed
those that are to be turned off. It
seldom pays to feed old animals for
profit Also dry off the poor COWS
now and fatten them before the wea-
Their is cold.
1t has been said: "That the only
sure method of wedding out the I'M
profitable COWS is to use a Babcock
test and pair of scales" We would
add that good judgment should ac
company their use, for some years
good COWS are but ordinary producers
II quality has value, as we all know
it has, it should be paid for. 1t is now
up to the managers of creameries both
large and small to grade cream in fact
as well as in words and make a sub
stantial difference between first and
secOnd-grade stuff. When the cream
cries thus give backing to their own
words the farmers will give the neces-
sary extra care.
In dairy practice, good many old
methods in use by our fathers could
be revived with profit. Such, for in
stance, as scratching poles set at an
angle of As degrees to fit the backs
of cattle of all sizes. Such a device
was used by some of the old farmers
in New York half century ago. Cows
and young stock are very fond of such
exercise if given an opportunity.
Some firms who make glass milk
bottles are anxious to help out the
mi1kman who furnishes poor milk yet
must compete with the man who has
the genuine stuff, and are turning out
bottles that are all neck. A bottle of
this kind looks to be fifty per cent
cream, yet there may not really be
over ten or fifteen per cent This
trick, and it is rather a small one, may
work for few days but the customers
soon find it out.
A Nebraska dairyman once tested
the milk of cow after she had been
chased into her stall by large two
legged fool and a small four-legged
dog. The Babcock test showed a per
centage of butterfat of 2.3. The next
morning the same COW tested Al and
