WHY TALK OFF WAR.

Captain Ignaz Rodic Of the Austro-
Hungarian army declares that japan
is feverishly preparing for war with
the United States.
When such talk from such sources is
heard two ideas should be carried in
mind.
First: War talk tends to produce war.
Second: In case of war between the
United States and Japan Europe would
profit from lending money and selling
munitions to the combatants; (2J from

r The farmers will prick up their ears
as the investigation of the harvester
trust proceeds. The department of
commerce and labor is fairly started
on the investigation, which was or
dered by congress last December. The
first result for the public is an expla-
nation OF the two names under which
the concern travels. the International
Harvester company and the Interna-
tional Harvester Company Of America.
One is capitalized in New Jersey at
$40, 0,000,0 COO, the other in Wisconsin at
$l,000,O00. The first named is the manu-
facturlng company, and does no inter-
state business. The latter is the sell
ing company. which buys the output
OF the manufacturing company and
sells it throughout the world The two
companies are Of course identical in
control. The double device is helpful
in dealing with the taxing authority
the trade, the farmers and possibly in
time with the interstate commerce
laws. The investigation has shown that
the penalty clause of the company's
contracts with dealers, by which the
latter agreed under pain of fine to han
die no implements but those sold by
the trust, has been Withdrawn. Deal
ers say, however, that the clause is
practically in effect as much as ever.
The company takes pains, wherever il
seems desirable, to impress dealers that
a competing store may be established
nearby if they persist in handling in
dependent goods. Like the king who
decreed freedom of religion in his do

Servinu Fruit,

Fruit may be served on a large
round, fiat dish, or in a fruit bowl or
fruit dish 1t is very pretty to use
the natural leaves, if they can be pro-
cured, for garnishing the dish. The
fruit should be passed and eacn per-
son be given a fruit plate and fruit
knife and finger bowl. The finger
bowl is placed on the fruit plate and
should be lifted and set TO ones left
before helping ones self to fruit. A
nice way to eat an orange is to cut it
in half and eat with a spoon. Plums.
peaches and pears are eaten from the
fingers; bananas are eaten from the
skin. Pineapple is usually pared, the
eyes taken out, the flesh picked apart
with silver fork, placed in a fruit
dish and sugared and then served in
a dessert plate and eaten with spoon
or fork.

TIE PRODUCING
OF CLEAN MILK
BY w. j. Fraser, Illinois Expert
ment Station.

Keep the cows clean and do not
compel or allow them to wade and
live in filth. This means clean yards
and clean we'll bedded stalls. Every
thing short of this is positively re-
pulslve and should not be tolerated
any longer In a civilized community.
Stop the filthy practice known as
"wetting the teats," by which is
meant the drawing of little milk into
the hands with which to wet the
teats before and during milking,
leaving the excess of filthy milk to
drop from the hands and teats into
the pail.
Wash all utensils clean by first
using lukewarm water, afterwards
washing In warm water, and rinsing
IN an abundance OF boiling water,
then exposing until the next using in
direct sunlight, which is good
sterilizer.
Use milk pals, cans, etc, for no
other purposes but TO hold milk.
Keep out OF these utensils all sour
or tainted milk.

the circulation of air in the soil and
also favors the escape of the water.
This crust must be broken by deeper
cultivation.
Land is summer titled to store the
moisture of one season in order that
crop may be grown the next. The
more thorough the tillage. the better
this moisture is conserved. When
small grain crop is being harvested,
the disk should follow the binder. The
ground may be plowed later in the
fall and packed with a harrow and a
soil packer. AS soon as the frost is
gone in the spring the ground should
be made loose on top. 1t should be
kept in this condition all summer or
until the next crop is needed. The disk
and harrow should be used as often as
necessary to keep the surface loose.
When the ground is not plowed in the
fall, 1t will be necessary to disk it ear
ly in the spring and plow before July
Is. Deep plowing increases the ca
pacIty of the soil to hold water. IL

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans.
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analyZed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that "is best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for its ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
a prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin. and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin

dissertation that you may not beable
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics of
it's own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any Of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in

where you come in, if you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are

ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distsact
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call

will be able to tell him what drugs you

The important problem In dry land
farming is to conserve the moisture
in the oil--dIstributing it through
out the season of growth. The total
annual precipitation is usually SUM-
Client TO grow large crop, but some
OF 1t comes when not needed and In
larger quantities than can be used and
by the crop. The soil may be used
as a vast reservoir for storing the
water until II is used by the plant.
BY keeping the soil loose on top, we
step evaporation from the soil SO that
all the water may be used by the
plant In this way we save the water
in the soil until Il is needed by the
crop.
Surface tillage is n means Of trap
ping the rainfall. The surface soil
is made loose and the capillary con-
nection between the loose surface and
the firmer and moister soil below is
broken. making it more difficult for
the water in the soil TO reach the sur.
face, where il is lost by evaporation.
The depth of cultivation desirable in
the formation of the soil mulch well
depend on the frequency of cultivation
and the amount of rainfall. During
a long dry period mulch three or
four inches thick is not too much. If
a crust forms on the surface, water is
lost rapidly by evaporation. If crust
forms under the mulch, Il prevents
