WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE situation
at the Pacific naval stations and yards is
such that some means must be found to
secure additional skilled mechanics, for
not only is there insufficient labor to put
the battleship fleet in order when 1t ar
rives on the coast, but there Is actually
not sufficient force to keep up with the
demands for current repairs of the ships

Meanwhile, as soon as congress assem-

body with the recommendation that legis-
1ation may be had to insure the supply of
force of labor sufficient to meet the
needs of the Pacific yards, not only for
the present, but for the future, in view
of the probability that naval necessities
will require the maintenance Of two
ocean fleets.

is from two to ten feet of water in the
streets. Great disturbance has resulted.
Railroad traffic is utterly disorganized.
AT all places the roadbeds have been
washed away and the stations are under
water.
Fortunately the storm center is now
moving seaward, the weather clearing
and the worst appears to be over.

the damage in this region resulting from
the floods is estimated at $16,000,000 in the

90 PER CENT OF CHICAGO
MILK DECLARED IMPURE
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Declaring that 80
per cent of the milk sold in Chicago is
impure or adulterated City Bacteriologist
]. F. Biehm last night advised the MEM
bers of the Chicago Medical society to
work for the passage of more stringent
law to regulate the sale of the beverage.
He asserted the commoncst practice in
the milk traffic is skimming the cream
off the cans and bottles and injecting a
coloring fluid to give the residue the
color of pure milk. Another evil uncov-
cred by the inspectors is milk which con-
tains the germs of infantle cholera.

FEEDING SKIM MILK.
Experiments Show That 1t Is a VaIu-
able Ration For Fowls.

y writer in the American Poultry
Advocate has the following to say Of
| TIE value of skim milk as a partial
| ration for fowls:
HE West Virginia experiment sta
ton has recently made some sys-
'eilatic tests to prove the value of
skim milk for laying hens. The first
test covered 122 days. The twenty
two hens fed skim milk laid 1.o44 eggs
as compared with 99G eggs laid by the
Twenty-Five hens fed mash wet with
water In another test sixty hens fed
the skim milk ration laid S62 eggs In
thirty seven days as compared with
Go eggs laid by similar lot fed no
@kim milk. Other tests gave about.
the same comparative results The
conductors OF these experiments esti-
mate that under the prevailing cOndi-
tions and with eggs selling for 20 or
% cent; per dozen the skim milk used
for nloiStening the mash had q feed
Ing value OF from IL to cents per
quart That milk is one of the best
general foods for almost all stock and
human beings, too. is recognized by
everybody and needs no special proof
That it should have better results in
nutrition than just plain water is real
~ self evident When l feed skim
milk to my fowls, l do expect to get
some benefit from it. But it is Il
satisfaction to know that it is worth
for feeding purposes, the comparative
~ high figure OF IL or cents Il quart

been conducted. From summary Of
data on the relative value of whey,

also that sweet skim milk has not so

Liver Trouble In Fowls.

When few hens in Il flock show
symptoms of advanced stages of liver
trouble. it is reasonable to conclude
that Others in the flock are in the
earlier stages. Give the flock Il grass
run if possible. If not, give green
food literally. avoid the excessive use
OF corn, and try to secure consider
able amount of exercise for the fowls.
This is best accomplished fer fowls in
confinement by feeding the grain in
litter and feeding rather spar!ngly at
first This reduction of diet should not
be continued too long. If it is. the
birds become weakened and reduced i'll

The Cause of Wry Tails.

The cause Of WY tails is obscure. but
is attributed to an injury to the hip or
some part Of the rear of the body.
which causes deformity. Examine a
WY tailed chicken after dressing it
and YOU will usually find. we think.
that it is deformity OF some part Of
the body. usually of the hip. that
causes it. 1t has been argued that
such deformities are caused by over
crowding in the brooder or being
crowded into a crampcd position for
several hours when the bones are soft
and plastic. This. however, is theory
only.
