MILK AND CREAM PLANT
Inspector J. G.. Josiin Writes Concern
ina thes n stisuticr.

70 the Editor of The Free Press: As
there has been 50 much agitation, the
past winter over the milk situation, and
knowing that there was Il new milk and
cream plant beng started, | called i'll on
them and inspected their plant and out
fit.
1t was not III operation at the time |
was iii, but when completed it will be as
complete and as sanitary milk plant
as YOU can find anywhere i'll the state.
1t is il plant that Mankato has been
sadly i'll need Of. and | think we ought
to be glad that these gentlemen have
seen fit to locate here.
The milk is all to be clarified and
then pastcurized before being bottled for
delivery. The pasteurization of the
milk will eifcctually kill all tubcrculous
germs if there are any present i'll the
cows in the state are tested for tuber-
cuIosIs. the only way to be sure the
milk is free from germs is to have it
pasteurizcd:
We See great deal i'll the papers
lately regarding the market milk stu
alton, and the city of New York is very
much wrought up over the matter, and
they are considering the idea of com
pelling all the milk dealers to pas
tuerize their milk.
OF course, it would not be of much
benefit to pasteurize the milk and then
put it into bottles that were not alb
solutely sterile, 50 large cabinet has
been made of Sheet iron in which 900
bottles can be placed on racks, and then
live steam is turned on until they are
thoroughly sterlizcd.
In fact, everything from start to fin
ish. is to be done in Just as sanitary Il
way as it is possible to do it, and
whether we patronize it or not, we all
ought TO be glad that we have such an
establishment in our city. Yours for
good milk, j. c. Joslin.

JOTTiNGS FROM JUDSON
Snow Stopped Seeding, Personal and
Social Notes.

1t made people think winter was with
us again last Sunday, about four inches
Of snow ON the level. The old settlers
used to say that "a fall of snow after
| the seed had been put i'll the ground was
as good as heavy coat of manure to
| the soil" We wonder if people of these
| days believe the same to be true?
| Evan +. Evans has returned from a
business trip TO North Dakota and re-
ports some snow drifts were to be found
there when he left, and people were just
starting in seeding last week.
John G.. Roberts has invested in II
span of drivers, and is Of the %opinion
he can ride over the road as fast as the
average now. They are fine team.
Several cases of mumps are report
ed from school district No. -.
Miss May AbIcs, teacher III school dis
trict 90, was the guest of Il. p. Viii
liams and family over Sunday.
Gwyn Owen of Minneapolis has hired
ont to Il. r. Williams for the season,
also Eddie Roberts has hired to j. G..
Roberts for IA few months
On account OF bad weather, very few
from this community attended the fun
cral of Mrs. John C.. Jones last We'd
ncsday. If the weather had been favor
able 10 doubt there would have been an
unusually big gathering, for Mrs. Jones
was highly respected among all her ac-
quaintances. Mr.. Jones and all of the be-
reavcd family have the deepest sym
pathv of the community.

WI; witt sc RECORD Session.
Oregon Legislature VIII Appropriate
About SIS, ,ooo. 900.

Salem, Feb. ll.-Unless the legisIa-
tive pruning knife is applied wisely
and Discriminatory, the present legis-
lature will win for itself the designa-
tion Of the "$5, 900, 900 session" Bills
carrying outright appropriations aggre-
eating $4,S00, 1851 have been intro
duced to date, and there remain two
weeks of the session in which further
demands on the treasury may be made.
At any rate, the indications are that
the appropriations Of the present legis-
lature will establish q new record.
OF this gigantic total, the committee
on ways and means has recommended
favorably bills carrying appropriations
to the amount of 81, ,439, ,200.96.
There are pending in the two houses
other measures carrying s2,34S, 965 .95,
and but one bill making an appropria-
tion, that for the state library commits
sion and carrying $4,000, has passed
both houses. In conjunction with this
estimate Of the possible expenditures of
the peoples money, there is not includ-
ed the probable cost to the state of nu-
merous boards and commissions it is
proposed to create ON per diem basis.
Neither do the figures given include the
cost to the state If either Of the numer-
GUS bills providing bounties for the
scalps Of wild animals is passed. With
scarcely an exception these measures
impose on the state a portion of the
bounties that are proposed to be paid.
Another item of expense not included is
that entailed in the bill providing for
the purchase of voting machines.
