How Radiator May Be Heated From
a Range Boiler.

Unsuccessful attempts to heat RAJ
diators from hot water boilers are
usually due to faulty installation. The
sketch herewith shows the correct
way to make the connections. Instead
of using valves the stop cocks A and B
are used, as they offer less resistance
to circulation than ordinary globe
valves. Cock A must be so arranged
that it cannot be closed more than
two-thirds, says a correspondent of
Domestic Engineering, else If cock B
and cock A are inadvertently closed
tight at the same time there would be
danger of the waterback exploding.
The operation would be as follows:
BY partly closing cock A any desired
amount of the hot water could be
forced through radiator. and by this
means radiator could be kept up to

Question as to Congress Power.

Question as to Congress Power.
The agitation in favor of pure milk
is assuming large proportions, but
there is a question as TO how far cor
eress can go in regulating dairies in
tho various states. 1t is believed by
some authorities that congress can
only legislate to protect the milk sup
nIv of the District of Columbia and
that part of the state supply that en-
ters into interstate commerce. 1t so
happens that maLy of the larger cities
go outside of the states in which they
arc located in order to procure the
necessary amount of milk to meet their
demand. New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton Chicago ST. Louis, Cincinnati, and
MANY other cities that consume enor-
nous quantities of milk, as well as
smaller cities, located near state lines.
use milk that enters into insterstate
commerce. and such of their supply as
crosses A state line before reaching the
retailer would, it is contended, be sub
iect to such legislation as congress
might see fit to enact.
Pay Dairymen for Cows Killed.
The department would like congress
TO enact some general law requiring the
slaughter of every COW found to be
infected with tuberculosis. 1t is pro-
posed that dairymen shall be taxed to
a certain amount per head to Jefray
the cost of having their cows inspect
ed. and if need be they should be reim-
n,rsed for the loss of such cows as
may be killed in the interest of the
public health. 1t is extremely doubtful
if congress, in the near future, would
undertake such rigid general legisla-
ton. though a law of that character
might be enacted to apply to herds
which supply milk for the District of
Columbia. Congress has the sole pow
er to legislatee for the District of Co
lumbia, and under the interstate COM
merce clause could probably reach the
herds outside the District which fur
nish milk for the Washington market
A law of this kind, framed by the de-
partment, would serve as an object
lesson to be followed by the various
states if it should work successfully.
In discussing the work which he has
had under way, DR.. Schroeder said:

words should not be minced The 'tu-
berole germ works its way into the
milk, which affords an ideal place for
its preservation, and unless the milk
is actually boiled before being taken
into the system, more or less vio-
lent case of tuberculosis is set up.
Extensive experiments have been
carried on by the governmtn to deter
mice the danger of infection from dried
sputum and these have established. to
my satisfaction, that danger from that
source is almost nil Certainly it in no
way compares with the danger of in
lection from milk. 1t has been shown
that the germ rarely retains life when
exposed to light and air. especially
when exposed to, a sufficiently dry
atmosphere to convert it into dust
Every recent experiment has gone to
prove that the germ must be taken in
to the system through food. and the
indications are largely that the most
extensive cOnveyor of the disease is

with abnOrmally high temperature Of
all the tests which have been devised
by science for the detection of disease
it is the most accurate We have
killed thousands of cows which have
responded to this test, and have never
failed to find tuberculosis infection. On
the other hand we have had animals
at our experiment station, which gave
every external evidence of the dis
ease, but which failed to respond and
which the autopsy showed to be free
from the disease. Their is absolutely
no question of the efficiency of the tu-
berculin test. 1t is essential, however
that the tuberculin be fresh and eff
cier.t, for much of the stuff sent out
by chemical houses is worthless.
Even from the dairyman's stand
point there is economy in applying the
test When there is one affected COW in
the herd the whole herd is in danger
We have conducted experiments to de-
termine the extent to which this is the
case, and have demonstrated it to be
fact. The dairyman who detects the
disease when it makes it's first appear
ance may save his whole herd by kill

Purity Means Greater Cost.
Dr. Schroeder says it is impossible
to obtain absolutely clean milk, but
milk of a much better quality and pu-
rity than finds it's way to market can
be secured if proper precautions are
taken in the DIARIES. The eXtermina-
ton of cows affected by tuberculosis
and the substitution of cleanly for
dirty methods of handling herds and
preparing milk for shipment will nat
urally result in raising the price of
milk to the consumer, but DR.. SchrOe-
der points out that the consumer has
10 right to complain if he gets pure
milk, for he may be buying for mere
pittance the health of his entire fam
lily.
While there are differnt views on
this subject, the department of agri-
culture is satisfied that it is right in
it's contentious, and it is the policy of
the department to keep the subject be-
fore the people, hoping and believing
that in the end public sentiment will
be so aroused as to render necessary
such preventive measures as will ma
terally reduce the opportunities for
spreading tuberculosis through infect
ed milk.
