The Dairymen's Protective Association.
"A Dairyman" writes as follows to the Bel
air Democrat: About month ago healthy
effort was made by few determined persons
to form an organization and by so doing help
the dairy interests, dependent on Baltimore for
market an organization built similar to
that which operates very well in Philadelphia.
success beamed on the effort from the be-
ginning and a strong organization is fast as
Stunning shape and force. Nearly every milk
shipper feels that it is his duty to himself and
fellow farmers to join in and help on this good
work. The idea is to keep the organization
under control of the farmer; to use every
means to further and help the business and its
masters by using sound business tactics and to
keep the wholesale price of milk uniform to
guide and foster favorable legislation to help
shut out from the Baltimore market by giving
every aid possible to the proposed city that leg
isation, the filthy milk now being gotten from
cows that are fed on the brewery Stops of High
landtown breweries and the garbage pals Of
Baltimore city. Ten thousand gallons daily,
or one fourth of Baltimore's milk supply, is
thus produced, being sold wholesale for 10
cents per gallon, while it is impossible under
the most favorable circumstances, to produce
milk at a profit on the farm for less than Is
cents per gallon. This filthy milk lessons
the consumption Of this important food and
hurts materially the business of the farmer
who is endeavoring to produce good clean
milk. 1t has increased Baltimore's infant
death rate to twice that of most cities.
THE association is in entire sympathy with
the dealers and hopes to bring about condi-
ton that will be much better than the chaos
that now prevails in the price cutting and illicit
handling which makes it an up hill business
for the up-to-date dairy to sell a first grade
milk when some of their competitors sell a
milk along side of them for cents per quart.
"a joint committee from the different or
CARNATIONS met with portion of dealers in
Baltimore recently and was promised every aid
possible and the hearty assurance that they
were with us.
ut is the duty of every good citizen who is a
dairyman to get into the organization which is
and not to hinder in any way the effort being
made to place the dairy interests on solid
basis, with united feeling and strong bond
of unity"

"PARLOR" MATCHES AND FIRES.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, October 7th, 1907.
MessrS. Editors Scarcely day passes that
there is not a mysterious fire in some barn or
other outbuilding somewhere in the State, and
there is a strong probability that large proper
ton of these fires are caused by the careless
dropping of parlor matches in or about the
buildings. Every tramp and nearly every farm
hand smokes almost necessarily and carries
matches loose in his pockets-a continual source
of danger. A bill passed by the Legislature for
bidding the manufacture, sale or use in this State
of any other than the so-called safety match
would probably reduce the mysterious fires at
least fifty per cent. Now if the various farmers
organizations and others interested in the safety
of property would take up this matter earnest
ly there could be no difficulty in getting such a
law. There is no politics in it; no one would be
injured and the citizens be benefited far be-

Old sweethearts and old friends,
And every other blessing
That heavens goodness sends;
Time mellowed every sadness,
Forgotten every pain,

There's naught can blot it out,
The pure love and the bold love,
When childhood knew no doubt;

To greet you on the way.

THE CITY of Cumberland Md, has had a
lynching and there has been much excitement
there as a result of it. On Thursday night OF
last week negro desperate named Burns
shot and so seriously wounded policeman
that he died some hours later. On Saturday
night a mob of six hundred men battered
down the Jail door and, after securing Burns.
literally beat and kicked him to death. The
body was permitted to remain exposed the
greater part of Sunday and was viewed BY
crowds of people, including hundreds of Sum
day school children, so dispatch said. The
Iynching was bad enough, but this latter fea-
ture was even worse. Cumberland needs some
civilizing evidently.

THE VALUE of pure milk is shown by the fact
that in 1892 the death rate among infants in
New York city was 96.2per thousand. In 1893
the distribution of pasteurized milk was begun
and $4,000 bottles were distributed. In 1906,
3,140,2 52 bottles were distributed by the socie-
ty, in addition to about 100000 quarts sold by
dealers, and the death rate among infants had
fallen to IS per 1000. OF course, all this
change in the death rate may not be due to
pasteurized milk, but it evidently must be
credited with large share of the good out
come. Some of the best results 90 not appear
in the statistics, because impure milk produces
diseases, such as tuberculosis, which do not
appear till later in life. 1t is not admitted that
pasteurized milk is better than pure milk from
healthy cows, conveyed to the consumer with
out contamination. But it cannot be denied
that it is almost impossible to obtain milk un-
der ideal conditions, and that pasteurized milk
is much better than the skim milk or condens-
ed milk with which the children of the poor
are often fed. In initiating and supporting
this work Secretary Straus has written himself
down as one of the greatest benefactors of the
age.
