The housewife has ut her command

Or not the milk she buys contains pre-

fines. The directions for making this
test are given by DR.. w. NJ. Cross.
city chemist of Kansas City.
THE substance most frequently
used to preserve milk" said DR.. Cross,
"is formaldehyde. This Is a dangerous
poison and even when used only In
minute quantities will injure the
health Of infants. Its presence In milk
may be detected by the following
means:
Fill q wineglass or other small glass
receptacle half full Of the milk to be
tested. Pour upon this a small guam
tity of sulphuric acid-not the chem
ically pure acid, but the grade known
as commercial This acid may be
floated upon the milk without their
mixing by slightly inclining the glass
and adding the acid gently.
Then hold the glass Of milk and
acid to the light. II where the two
fluids come in contact there is a violet
line, fOrmaldehyde Is undoubtedly pres
ent. II the contact line Is dark brown
or black, it is safe to conclude that the
milk is free from the ~preservative."

trio railroad enterprise.
The annual increase in products
from a ten-acre farm furnishes some
thoughts for speculation. Estimates
made from actual experience in the
Palouse country place the approxi-
mate income at $600 for the first
year. $500 for the second, 1000
for the third, and about $1,000 an
for the third, and about 81 200 an
acre for fruits harvested after the
sixth year from planting. The new
farm will have five acres planted to
fruits, consisting OF cherries, apples,
pears, and plums. Two acres are to
be planted to blackberries, raspber.

paragus. The orchard will be cult!.

"Ain't 1t the Truth?"

We are getting the benefit OF the
usual variations in the new train
schedule of the Great Northern Rail-
way company. No. / on Wednesday
was ten, hours late. We were in
hopes that the company had inau-
gurated a schedule that they could
run to. But so far there has not
been a westbound train in on sched-
ule time since it went into effect.
The inconvenience of waiting for
late trains is very annoying to the
public. II We had but one train a
day and knew when that train would
come. it would give better satisfac-
ton than the present system of de-
lays and long waits in a dingy old
waiting room at the depot. This
trouble could be easily avoided if
the company would give us another
train running from Spokane to Ever
EFT, where connections could be
made with one of the twelve daily
trains running on the coast lines
where the company has competitors.

animals will be considered at the
meeting of the state livestock and
sanitary board.
The proposed method of causing
death to the undesirable denizens OF
forest and plains which is to capture
them with sareptic mango and theE
release them to carry the disease to
their kind, is now being planned in
Montana. and DR.. Noble has lengthy
report from the state veterinarian OF
that state on the subject, which will
be presented to the board.
Old animals are better for the pur-
pose of spreading the disease than
young ones, the Montana veterinarian
says in his report, because if young
animal is kept in custody for any
length of time it becomes more or
less tame and will often not return
to its former haunts and remain.
Some difficulty was experienced by
the veterinarian in getting hold OF
dog which was diseased with the sar-
copic mango, but one was secured
from an eastern state and number
of coyotes and wolves were captured
and inoculated and then turned loose
The veterinarian says that the re-
ports of the results of the method he
has received from his deputies in diff
ferent parts of the state have been
very satisfactory, but he says it will
require at least two years before the
method can receive a thorough test.
