Realized Injustice.

When the board saw its action SET
forth in cold type and realized the in
Justice done TO these Montana women by
its failure to act in the matter the
Montana State vice regent, Mrs. Weed.
was requested to make statement to
the board of the whole situation at the
meeting of the board on the evening ses-
sion, on March Z. 1905. The result was
a veriication of the old saying, truth
is mighty and will prevail Mrs. Weed
presented the case with clearness, dig
nifty, truthfulness, with absolute com
pliance with parliamentary usage, and
the constitution of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. and showed to the
board exactly wherein the records now
on file in the d. A. r. offices differed
from the facts in the case, to the great
injury of the reputation and official re-
cords of a number of the Montana wo-
men in the society.

the society who had made charges
against her and her officers and mem

required by the board 10 either prove
the charges they had made, or retract

any one who does not like stanchiolls
and has no room for box stall. 1t is

a platform so short that the droppings
will fall over the edge The rack is
about a foot wide at the bottom, with
bars wide enough apart to let the cows

Vitality In Milk.

To the controversy on vitality in
milk DR.. W. G. Huntington of Michl-
gan furnishes the following in Hol-
stein Friesian Register:
The fat globules In Holstein milk are
finer and more intimately mixed with
the other solids than in the milk Of
any other COWS, and hence Holstein
milk is best for all purposes for which
whole milk is used.
Jersey milk is here not considered
suitable for condensing because 1t is
too inclined TO churn simply from slop-
ping about i'm the can during trans
portation to the condensary, and the
tendency of Jersey milk TO separate
in the stomach into melted butter and
hard indigestible curds is the reason
why the puny Jersey calf so often
cannot live on the milk of its own
dam
MIX which is not At for the offspring
of its producer Is certainly not very
suitable for human consumption, and
there need be no mystery about the
recognized fact of greatest vitality in
Holstein milk.

Cnnkinr the MIX.

The main thing is to cool the milk
quickly to temperature of 80 de
grees or less. and it would pay the
dairyman TO provide ice for this pur-
pose. In driving through the country
in the early morning you will observe
near the well at different farms a can
of milk placed in a half barrel where
there Is not room for more than a cou-
pie of pals of water, which would not
be sufficient TO properly cool the milk,
and unless this is quickly done the
germs that may have got into it will
have chance to develop before it gets
cooled to that point where their growth
Is retarded.-J. G. Moore, Wisconsin.
