KANSAS BEER MUST NOW
BE LABELED.
Ruling by State Board OF
Health Makes Beverage
a Drug.

Beer and whisky sold by Kan
sas drug stores hereafter must be
sold and labeled as drugs, accord
ing to the decision of DR.. s. J.
Crumbine. secretary of the board
of health. DIR. Crumbine and
Frederick S. Jackson, attorney
general. had a conference and 1t
was decided that this rule should
be rigidly enforced. 1t is believed
that the effect will be to drive
every druggist who has a joint
in connection with his store out
of business.
Beer is essentially a beverage
and is very rarely used for medi-
cinal purposes. Druggists may
sell beer only for medicinal and
scientific purposes and it then
comes under the rules OF the state
pure drugs law, the same as pat
ent medicine. When a man goes
into a drug store and asks for a
bottle of beer and makes an affi-
davit that he wants it for insom'
MIA or indigestion or headache OF
some one of the diseases usually
mentioned in the aflidavits, the
druggist then sells the beer as a
| medicine. not as a beverage, and
under the pure food and drug law
the label must state the amount
of alcohol in the bottle and show
other information about the con-
tents.
The brewery companies now
label their goods to come under
the pure food laws when sold in
Kansas. A guarantee is made thai
no authorizations are made and
that the contents are pure. In
formation has come to the state
officials that the breweries viii
not make their labels comply with
the pure drugs law also and il
original tables are not supplied
to the druggists it will be impos'
sible for them to sell beer in
Kansas.
The state board of health has
required that beer be pure and
without authorizations as one Of
| the aids to the attorney general
| in enforcing the prohibitory law
and this move is expected to be
great help to the attorney gener'
al in enforcing the law.

Mr.. limerick of lola was in
the camp this week making ar
rangements to start up the l. d l.

land north of the Joanna mine.
This shaft is showing some fine
zinc ore.
The Mission mine will ship a
car of zinc ore this week. 1t is
starting up the mill again, after
a short shutdown, during which
time many improvements have
been made, as we'll as overhaul
ing the steam plant and mill and
putting things in excellent con-
dition.
The NJ. X. & T. is still piling
ND its ore. The bins are all full
and ore is being piled out on the
ground. If it does not sell soon
the roadway will be blocked with
concentrates. A splendid quality
of ore is being made, and il
looks good to see such a big pile
of it. Both shafts are working
night and day.
The Joanna, which has been
shut down for some time so that
some repairs and improvements
could be made to the property,
will be started up to its full ca
pacity on the 5th of November.
Mr.. Foster, superintendent, tells
us everything will be in readi'
ness by that time.
A new tramway has been com
pleted from shaft No. ? to the
big mill, distance of six hum

starting up this property, which
has been idle since the high
tramway blew down some months
ago. This will put another big
producer in the shipping list
soon.
The Lucille Mining Co., just
west of the Mason mine, is do

ing a mill as soon as possible.
The Micawber intends to be in
position to start up when the
Common Law mill is ready to
run, which will be sometime the
early part Of November. The
Common Law is pushing work on
its new mill. Some of the ma
chinery is coming in and being
placed in position, while every
thing is being made ready for
those parts which are slow in ar
irving.
The Newlands Mining Co. has
an immense bed of free ore in a
conglomerate formation which is
very easily mined and milled.
The ore bed is dipping to the
southeast so strongly that a new
shaft will have to be sunk to en-
counter the ore bed at its lowest
contact. With the impro, ement
completed this property should
lead all the mines in the camp
for production.
John Rice is milling dirt at the
Dark Horse, taking the ore from
the old Isley diggings and at the
same time is pumping water from
the Dark Horse property, getting
it ready for operation also. MIR.
Rice intends to sink a deep well
on the Dark Horse property to
supply the mill with water, and
at the same time to demonstrate
the lower formations, which he
believes carry other layers OF ore
bearing rock.
Miami made its second turn-in
last week, being from the New
State mine. This new camp is
| attracting a great deal of atten-
ton and it deserves to, as a re-
markably good showing is being
made. Hatton e. Coyne OF Webb
City are setting record for shaft
sinking, making s. feet in nine
shift, cribbing also. They are
under consract to be milling dirt
within 100 days from date OF
lease. They have material on
the ground for their mill. This
| is going some, isn't it!
The Lancaster is pushing its
new mill to completion, which II
expects to get going by the first
of November. This will add
| much to the production each
week. as the ore is very rich,
with no limit to the AMOUNT IN
sight. Several thousand tons are
now on the dump which will be
inilled with what it can get from
the ground on starting the mill.
This property is being watched
with much interest by all the par
ties interested in the north camp,
especially Chas. Gregory, mana
ger, has promised some mighty
good records and it is nearing the
thine for him to show us.

BUYING YOUNG COWS.

4 years old one can judge of her value.
1t is a good plan to buy with ones

has been a regular breeder and has
dropped two or three calves. will likely
be a sure breeder for six or eight years
mere. l am always on the look out
for promising young COWS, just after
they have dropped their second calf.
AT that time / can see udder develop
ment, and other external signs Of a
good mixer, and at that age the
young COW has either been made or
ruined. Another point I am very. par
ticular about is the man who raised
the cow. l want to know his record
as well as the cows. If he has been a
good and careful feeder, and a good
handler, the chances are that his
young COWS are in the pink of con-
dition to go right ahead and do well
for their owner. It's the bringing up
that counts with COWS, and when I
find the right nan and the right sort
of young COWS / want. l never haggle

DIFFICULT chuRNlNG.

There has been more complaint this
fall thar usual about difficult churn-
ing. The writer recently visited a dairy
farm in Fond du Lac county, Wiscon-
sin, where fifteen COWS are being MIXED
now, and the cream churned at home.
h ~churnilg here takes from one and
q half hours to two hours: and as it
is done by hanC power it actually wears
out the whole family before the churn-
ing is completed. This family makes a
fine grade of separated cream butter,
ana gets two or three cents above Elgin
creamery prices for all the make,
hence they do not resort to some of
the usual practices for helping slow
cream. The butternaker here says you
cannot get nicely grained butter from
quick churning, and really about one,
hour is the time it should take, when
flrst-rate quality butter vas desired
Longer churning does not injure the
butter, but it is hard on the one Who
turns the churn. 1t was really interest
ing to watch the methods employed on
n farm to secure the finest grade of
butter. The COWS We're MIXED at 6
a. M, n the milk was carried out Of
the COW stables promptly, and taken to
the separator room. There a lusty boy
was ready with the machine and the
separation was quick work. The one
serious fault j found was, the bowl
OF the separator was cleaned just be-
fore the milk was brought into the
milk room, instead Of being cleaned at
once after each separation. The milk
cans were n the same way, that
is the skim milk stood in them for
twelve to tWenty-four hours, and
then when the cans were wanted
for use they We're emptied, and
merely rinsed out with cold water,
and the fresh milk poured in. While
| have never tasted a more de-
licious favored butter than that made
on this farm, yet these slovenly meth
DDS will surely tell in time, and they
are apt to ruin a good business.
We discussed the causes of long
churning. First a small churn was
used, and the cream was churned every
day. 1t was then concluded that the
cream did not stand long enough, and
a larger churn was installed, but with
of cream put into the churn was re-
duced, until the churn was not more
than half full, but this did not help
matters. The cream was brought to a
higher temperature, and ripened up
more, but the trouble was not found
here. These cows have been milking
now from seven to line months, and
right here probably is the cause of the
poor c~hurnability Of the cream; and
then by using separator cream there is
a tendency to churn before the cream
IS sufficiently ipened. To obviate these
troubles, one should have two or three
COWS come fresh in October, and In
addition to that. carefully test the
cream to see that it is the proper de-
gree of sourness, before attempting tc
churn it. The buttermaker on this
Fond du Lac county farm believes in
churning at the lowest temperature OF
cream possible, and before the cream
gets much acid. / must admit that fine
butter is made here, under these meth
DDS, but two-hour churning is unneces.

LOCATION OF MILK HOUSE.

Convenience is one of the essentials
OF the milk house, but when that brings
it dangerously near the feeding pens
of the hogs, 1 car hardly see the wis
dom of the location. / recently visited
a dairy where from twenty to thirty
cows were MIXED the year around.
The barns. feeding yards and milk

theory that the consumer cannot east

SOME SWINE FEEDING EXPERT.


Two very interesting bulletins dealing
with the various feeds commonly used in
swine feeding and the dangers of using
milk from tu~berculous cows are just being
issued by the animal husbandry depart
ment Of the experiment station of the
Iowa State college at Ames.
MO. 81 is a report of three experiments
to determine the value of corn and supple
mentary feeds in pork production and the
comparative efficiency Of these feeds at
different market prices and under varying
conditions. Barley. wheat shorts, meat
meal and tankage were some of the sup
plements used. Dry lot and pasture feed
ing and timothy and clover pastures are
contrasted. The object of this experiment
was to find the most economical method
Of producing the largest gains In hog
feeding. If only a small margin OF the cost
of producing pork can be eliminated by a
better management, the profit to the state
will be enormous, as Iowa has one-sixth
of the total number of swine in the United
States within her borders. This bulletin
contains sixty pages of practical and in
%structive matter and Ia of inestimable
value to farmers of this state who are in
any manner connected with the swine in
