FARMERSREBELATPUR MILKRULE
Health Department Says Hair on Cows Tail
and Flank Must Be Cut and Lights Put in
Troughs-- Clean Suits For Mixers.

Florida, N. Y.-Farmers in New
York State are receiving from the
New York Department of Health let
tiers setting forth the requirements of
the department necessary to insure a
pure milk supply for the New York
City market. The requirements run
all the way from cleaning the window
panes of the cowpen to cutting the
cows hair.
One farmer who had received list
of the departments requirements de-
clares that if some of the rules are
carried out there will be serious
shortage of milk in the market, as to
obey orders would mean great ex-
pense and require so much time at
tending to the animals that very little
profit would result to the owners. The
farmer said:
While the price of milk for the
coming six months by one big con-
trolling concern has been advanced
sixteen per cent. over last years
price, it must be taken into consider
alton that the price of the principal
feeds has gone up twenty-five per
cent"
The same man pointed out that to
luOOI JAC 4llOlS ACAP
would be required and that all this
would eat up the little profit that the
cow raiser now makes. In addition
1T is hard to get competent help.
Too Early For Cleaning.
One requirement to which local
farmers make strenuous objection is
that requiring that the cowshed be
thoroughly cleaned before the cows
are MIXED AS the milking is done
very early each morning, perhaps
long before daylight, it can be seen
that the cleaning process will be al
most an impossibility The farmer
is not wealthy, and many of them
have not the cash to make the re-
CURED Improvements about their
premises
Where are our very small present
profits to come in?" said an owner of
several head after reading the de-
partment circular. Where is the
money to come from to put in non
absorbent floor and six-inch cutters
with rounded corners of the non-ab-
sorbent material? Are we required
to put in lights, so that the feeding
troughs be lighted? / am unable to
see where it insures pure milk to
have the COW see what she is eating,
or perhaps have the window clean SO
that she may gaze pensively over the
barnyard while she chews her cud.
Another requirement is that all
the help be provided with clean suits
when they go in to make the cows
comfortable or relieve them of their
milk. MY wife would object to that,
and farmers wives never have much
to do"

OKLAHOMA IS DEMOCRATIC
Prohibition Wins by 10000 and
Constitution Three to One.
The Whole State Ticket. Headed by
Charles N. Haskell, of Muskogee,
Was Elected.

Oklahoma City-Returns from the
larger cities and counties Of Okla
homa and Indian Territory indicate
that the constitution of the proposed
new State has been adopted by 10000
majority; that the prohibition clause
of the constitution has been ratified
by 10000, and that the Democratic
State ticket, headed by G. N. Haskell
for Governor, has been elected.
The Legislature is Democratic by a
large majority, and will elect as
United States Senators Robert L..
Owen, a Cherokee Indian, and I. r.
Gore, blind man. They were NOM
mated by primaries in June.
In the Congress election the Demo-
Gratis seem to have chosen four of the
five Representatives. The candidates
probably elected are
First District-Former Delegate to
Congress Bird S. Mcclure, Repub-
lican.
Second District-E L. Fulton,
Democrat, defeating ex-Territorial
Governor e. B. Ferguson.
Third District-James Davenport,
Democrat
Fourth District-C. D. Carter,
Democrat
Fifth Districts Scott Ferris, DEM
ocrat.
The new State must await the con-
stitution's Endorsement by President
Roosevelt, who will either approve or
reject it upon his judgment as to
whether it conforms to the enabling
act of Congress and the Constitution
of the United States.
In the enabling act Congress pro-
vided for prohibition in Indian Terri
tory until January /, 1921 The pro-
hibition clause voted on applies the
same provision to the Oklahoma side
of the new State.
If it has carried, as it now seems,
Statewide prohibition will be part
of the constitution for twenty-one
years, and at the end of that period
will remain in force indefinitely un-
less repealed.
