London's Famous Milk Supply

Washington, May S.--The popu-
lation of London consume less milk
per capita than that of any American
city. The consumption is between
500, 900 and 100000 gallons per day,
which is an average OF from two
tenths to five-tenths of pint per
day among the well-to-do classes,
while among the poor the average
daily consumption is less than one
tenth of pint Medical men attrib-
ute the apparent deterioration of
the British race to this, among other
causes, chief of which is the high
consumption of gin, beer and other
liquors. The working classes of Lon
don drink more liquor than milk
and the gin and beer habit prevails
more generally among the women In
London and other of the large cities
of England than In any other coun-
try in the world,
There are 100000 milch cows in
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland. which yield an average
of 400 gallons per year each, making
total of 1000, 100000 gallons of
milk per year. This is an average Of
only SO gallons per year for every
man. woman and child in the United
Kingdom, or less than half pint
a day. When the amount of milk us
ed in diaries for butter and cheese
and for other purposes is deducted,
the average will be reduced to a very
small allowance
The milk supply of London comes
from all parts of England and Wales
land is brought by railway in ordina-
Try cars in large tin cans similar to
those used in tho United States. II
Is handled very much the same way
as it is here except that 1t is brought
a greater distance some OF 1t as far as
I423 miles. The average distance is
l1S0 miles. Refrigerator cars are al
most unknown. and only very
small part of the supply is shipped
that wey.
During the summer the cows are
kept in pastures upon very rich
\ grass. England has the finest pastures
lin the world. The turf is thick, the
grass Is full of nourishment and the
moisture of the climate keeps II
green longer than Is usual in any
other country. During the winter the
cows are kept in sheds and fed hay
lbeets, bran mashes and dairy cakes
composed of a mixture Of bran and
'lcotton seed. They are MIXED twice
a day The mornings milk is ship
ped to London during the day; the
evening milk is delivered at the rail-
lway stations at an early hour and Is
picked up by the express trains dur
ling the night. The cans are exposed

man with two cans in a pushcart Will
serve the inhabitants of several
blocks who. hearing his cry, brings
pals, cups. pans, pitchers, jars and
other receptacles to be filled by dip
ping into the cans. Very little milk
is served IN bottles, and the cans in
which It is delivered are the same
that come in over the railways from
the farms. In the suburbs milk is
served the same way, except the
carts are drawn by horses instead Of
by men.
Nearly 30 per cent of the entire
supply is furnished to the public
through dairy shops. of which there
are 9,2G4 in Greater London. These
shops keep butter. eggs, cheese aud
sometimes dressed poultry, in addi-
ton to milk. which they sell over the
counter to casual customers or de-
liver By their own errand boys to
families in the neighborhood in tins
or bottles. 1t is customary for many
London housekeepers to send maid
or some other servant to the nearest
milkshop every morning for milk or
cream enough for breakfast, in ad-
dition to the regular supply received
from the milkman which they use
for cooking purposes.

IRISH BILL
is PRESENTED BY GOVERNMENT
TO THE COMMONS.
Is Not Long Step Toward Home Ruie
and Confers Little SeIf-Gov-
eminent.

London May s. The govern
ment today presented its long await
ed Irish bill to the commons and
country. The bill is designed to meet
the demands for Irish home rule. II
was presented by chief secretary for
Ireland Birrell.
Compared with the home rule
bills of 1886 and 1900 the measure
today confers little self-government
upon Ireland merely giving to the
council control Of eight departments
now managed by government boards.
The council is to be appointed by the
crown and. while the lord lieutenant
of Ireland is given power to nullify
its measures the crown retains con-
troll of FIVE of the eight departments,
including the constabulary. The con-
troll of this branch always has been
a thorn in the flesh of the Irish peo-
pie.

bad weather For Farmers.

Frankfort, KY, March s. The re-
port OF the state commissioner OF
agriculture shows rather discour-
|agng condition of affairs for the
farmers. The warm weather in March,
followed by the cold April. says the
report, has practically ruined all the
early corn, and 1t has had to be re-
planted Forward wheat is also con-
|siderably damaged. as is the oats
crop. Peaches are practically ruined,
while there is some damage to plums,
cherries apples and other fruit. To
bacco plants are scarce and for the
first time the flea bug" has done
some damage under canvas. The
hurley crop Of 1906 will be about 80
per cent. of that of 1905. while in
the dark district there is a falling
off of about per cent. The condition
of grass and clover is fairly salts

CANADIAN RATES.
On Newspapers and Magazines WIN
Be Increased.

Ottawa, Ont, May S.-The existing
postal treaty between Canada and
the United States expires by limita-
tion at midnight tonight, the Domin
ion government having notified the
Washington authorities of its desire
to have the treaty abrogated.
Second class matter, including
newspapers, magazines and books, is
the only matter that will be affected
by the change. On this class of mat
ter coming from the United States
Canada will advance the rate from /
to cents a pound The effect will be
according to all expectations that the
circulation of American newspapers
and magazines in the Dominion will
be considerably cut down.

and to pollution at the farm, at
the railway station. in the cars while
in transit, and at the milk shops in
London.
The bulk of the trade of London
is controlled by dozen large whole
sale companies, each having mo-
nopoly In its district. In the fashion
able residence sections of the city
may be found small dealers who han
die the products of special dairy
farms in Devonshire and elsewhere
and supply ricn families at high
prices These small dealers control
perhaps 20 per cent. of the entire
trade. The large supply companies
have open wagons or carts at all the
railway stations before daylight ev-
cry morning to receive the milk cans
upon their arrival and to haul away
those which have accumulated dur
ing the night.
The retail delivery begins as 1t does
in this country by daylight in the
morning. and in the thickly settled
sections is carried on by hand-carts.
Each man has his route and is re-
sponsible for the returns from what
ever amount OF milk may be furnish

the patent and thought so much of
it that he is putting $4,000 into the
company.

MORE STATES NEEDED.
For Which to Name the American
Battleships.

Washington, May President
Roosevelt has under consideration
the naming of the battleships of the
Dreadnaught type, for which CON
tracts will soon be awarded The
ships will be given names of states
according to custom. Most of tho
states have been honored already.
but there remains Delaware, Utah,
North Dakota and New York that
have no war vessels named for them.
New York is eliminated for the rea-
son that there is an armored cruiser
named for the city of New York.
When Oklahoma qualities as state
It VIII give the navy department one
additional name to draw upon. While
mo action was taken today, it il
thought likely that Delaware, the
second smallest state in the Union
will be honored by having one of the
greatest battleships named for 1t, and
that Utah will be the other state to
be SO honored An effort has been
made to induce the president to au-
thorize the remaining Of the cruiser
New York and to call one Of the new
battleships after that state. but it is
not probable that the movement will
succeed. Eventually the war vessels
of types smaller than battleships Of
the first class must be renamed II

THE PANIC

In this great west country we
read in the papers of the great finau-
ciaa panic in the east. That is all
we know about it. 1t does not af-
feet us or create any worry or excit-
nent except that it puts our bank a
little on their guaCd and causes
them to use little extra precau'
ton.
The banks of Kansas are In fne
condition and have plenty of mouey
On hard with which 10 handle their
business independent OF eastern
money.
According to the eeport OF Bank
Commissioner Royce, the banks OF
Kansas are carrying about so per
cent more than their legal reserve
aud there is no possible danger to
any of them if the people just keep
their heads and doI't become ex
cited.
The trouble seems TO be among
the banks Of the east which were
specializing in stocks and backing
up stock plungsrs and gamblers.
Many of these banks deserve all
they are getting. There will be a
great purifying of financial circles
b .fore the thing is over.

AFTER THE WALL STREET

"The Wall street gamblers were
not killed by thsir enemies; they
committed suicide" Slightly alter
ing Taine's expression on the death
of the old regime, these words will
be an appropriate epitaph for the
plungers and wreckers who went
down in the tempest. Their con-
tortions and imprecations during
their demise made a commotion for
the moment, but the financial world
is better for their extirpation. We
now see that the looping off Of these
excrescences and barnacles has
made the monetary ship more sea
worthy, and that We can safely and
easily weather what ever squalls may
be Just ahead of US. Strong hands
have been placed at the helm. Nor
gan, Hepburn, Stillman and other
financial magnates who have had no
hand in the frantic finance OF re-
cent days, have been placed in con-
troll of the situation. They have
thrown many millions of dollars
into the market to relieve the strain
which was sending money up to
dizzy heights. They are ably and
effectively assisted by the Treasury
Department at Washington. All
the available resources of the Uni
ted States Government will, II
needed, be thrown into the scale to
preserve the country's financial
stability and these resources are
inmeasurably greater than they were
when the peevious financial distur'
baeces were precipitated.

saws Rockefeller, "where it will do
good and do not take it and hoard
itwhere the interest will be lost. "
The advice is good, for the banks

Morgan. This is equally wise
counsel. 1t migat, indeed be ell

should put up its shutters, like it
did for many days after the fall OF

1873. That was heroic treatment
for the plungers, but it helped to
restore calm, for the reopening OF

PHENOMENAL EARNINGS

From the Des Moines Register and
Leader.
The Wall Street Journal again
turns its attention to the financial
showing of the Rock Island system
for the past year.
What is true of the Rock Island
is equally true of the other great
trunk lines in which Iowa is inter
ested.
The Wall Street Journal first calls
attention to the complicated me-
thods of bookkeeping by which rail-
roads succeed in covering up their
earrings:
1t is doutful if there exists more
complex organization than that re-
presented by the lines controlled by
the Rock Island company and, 10
the average holder of securities IN
the Ro TX Island Company, she an
nual report which it made public
yesterday is slittle more thsn mean
ingless. The combined income ac-
count as stated above, shows but
nominal surplus earned, which of
course, will be misleading to any
one except student of Rock Island
finances.
Then after digging a little the Wall
Street Journal gives N plain figures
what the report comes to:
If Me Rock Islaed lines were
brought under one centralized HON
ogeneou financial organization and
administration, as they ought to be,
the management could show n
name as they now do in fact, more
than IS per cent earned on the Pre-.
ferred stock of the Rock Island
company, and approximately 8 per
cent earned on the common stock
of the Rock Island company. That
these figures are fair and conserva-
tive, is beyoud question.

stock and particularly record for
any corporation, SO loosely organ.
lied and thrown together as the
present Rock Island system. Thee
must be par: of the system, probaly
the Rock Island proper, that are
considerably more profitable than
even these figures indicate.
The report Of the Wall Street
Journal is made for the benefit Of
investors. Itis not political re-
port.
