JUST PLAIN MILK.
e May Be Clean and Wholesome,
Though Not "Certified."

The subject Of clean milk continues
to become more and more important in
the eyes Of both consumer and pro-
Queer In series Of experiments w.
A, Stocking of Massachusetts studied
the effect upon the purity and quality
of milk las measured by bacterial con-
tent of certain common dairy prac-
tees, such as feeding and brushing
cows, stripping, etc. He found that
feeding hay, dry corn stover and dry
grain just before or ut milking time
greatly increased the bacterial contain
nation of the milk. Brushing the cows
at milking time had also Il similar eff
feet, because the hair and dust thus
set free into the atmosphere settled
into the milk pail. Wiping the TANKS
and udder of the COW with a damp
cloth just before milking was very
effective in reducing the bacteria con-
tent. Thorough stripping reduced the
number of bacteria found in the milk
ut the next milking, while leaving
small amount of milk In the udder had
directly the opposite effect.
The Foe the Dairyman Fights.
Under ordinary methods of producing
and handling, large numbers of bac-
terra get into milk. 1t is highly desira-
Bile that dairymen should know how to
prevent the entrance of these Organ-
isms into the milk and to 50 handle it
that the growth Of those which do get
in will be reduced to the minimum. 1t
is possible to produce grade of milk
which shall contain but very few bac-
terra. This Is demonstrated by some
of the so called sanitary or certi-
fed milks which are now on the mar
ket, but these are produced at an in
creased cost and are sold at Il price
considerably above that of the regular
market milk. At the present price
which the average producer gets for
his milk he cannot afford to greatly in
crease the cost Of production. In order
to meet the public demand for a better
grade of milk he must therefore make
use of inexpensive means for prevent
ing the entrance and controlling the
growth of bacteria in his milk.
Easy Means Of Improvement.
Cleaner barns, more light, fresher
air, cleaner animals and better SAM
tary methods Of caring for the ma
nure sum up Improvements strongly
urged by dairy experts for many dairy
farms.
1t remains for each individual pro-
Queer of milk to ascertain how far his
own conditions fall short of these sim
pie fundamental requirements Of clean
Illness and sanitation, for, as these au-
thorities remark, even 1.-THE producer Of
what might be termed common or or
binary country milk Is under obliga-
ton to the public to produce reason
ably clean article"
The intelligence and personal habits
Of the individual mixer are also i'm
portant factors in determining the
germ content Of the milk.

FARM GROVES.
They Furnish Wind Breaks and Fuel
on Prairie Land.

They Furnish Wind Breaks and Fuel
on Prairie Land.
Our populated western prairies would
be very desolate indeed were it not for
the groves that were planted by the
pioneers who took that well known
virgin soil, built rude shanties to live
in and stables banked up with straw
and matched with slough hay. All
these early settlers had come from a
forest region where wood was plentiful
for all demands.
Quickly Growing Varieties.
They set out mostly quickly growing
varieties, such as willow, cottonwood,
soft maple and box elder; also some
black walnut, butternut, white ash and
elm. Some groves We're set entirely
to Lombardy poplars, which were very
good looking when young, but the
drought in the summer Of 1891 wiped
them all out. The wood Of the Lom-
hardy poplar is Of very little value. In
the past ten or twelve years the plant
neglected for the reason that $40 and
$10O an acre IS too valuable to plant
to timber from which the returns will
not be realized for many years. But
nevertheless a certain number Of acres
Of each farm should be planted with
trees. Let US say a forty acre farm
might have grove of three acres and
an eighty acre farm five acres, l2C
acre farm seven acres and 100 acre
farm nine or twelve acres.

a farm grove should contain all those
kinds of trees that will do we'll in that
locality, and planting close together
will produce straight trees. For eX-

the latter begin to crowd cut them

35TH BIRTHDAY
Souvenirs Being Distributed by The First
National Bank To Celebrate The Event.

A verv novel and useful souvenir in
the shape of Postal Scale for home
or Office use is being presented to
callers at the First National Bank of
Grand Rapids.
The occasion is the celebration of
the 25th anniversary of the bank, it
having just completed thirty-five
years of successful business experience.
This bank has the distinction Of be-
ing the oldest financial institution in
the country, having been organized in
1872. 1t has passed through two of
the worst panics this country has ever
seen and with each years added ex-
perience has become stronger and
better. Depositors in the old First
Nationsl have no fear for the safety
of their money, no matter what Is
happening in the outside world.
New names are being added every
day to the long list of the banks
customers and the officers and stock
holders have every reason to feel
gratified by the splendid growth be-
ing made.

There is one feature of the Park
Week" arrangement, that is es-
pecially attractive to public spirited
people, and that is the opportunity
afforded every one to have part in
the improvement of Grand Rapids.
This opportunity is sure TO test the
loyalty of every able bodied Grand
Rapids man, and the response to the
call of duty, as well as the ultimate
outcome of the Ladies' scheme, will
mark Grand Rapids as a city of
Boosters or non-progressiyes.
The scheme outlined by the Ladies
has already spread throughout the
state, and judging from the COM
ments of newspapers, as we'll as in
dividuals, the eyes of more than one
municipality is upon the success or
failure of the scheme. If it is success
full the Grand Rapids Library park
viii be completed on Oct. 18th, and
throughout the state, yea even
further, will go the news that GRAND
RAPIDS is live, progressive city,
composed of Boosters. If for any
reason, the scheme should not be
successful. the reports will be to the
contrary.
The REPORTER predicts that Park
Week will be a great success. AL
ready the enthusiasm is manifest,
and as the time approaches there is q
"chafing at the chains, " so to speak,
to be up and at it. Grand Rapids is
composed of Boosters" as Park
Week will prove.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do.
Their Uuceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and
Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the Kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when IN
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyeSight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, drOpsy, deposits
in urine. etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.

SIX STORM
PERIODS in OCTOBER

A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail on the End, Bird and 4th. On and
touching Wednesday End to Friday
the 4th, return to storm conditions
will be noted.
A regular storm period is central on
the Sth, covering the It'll to the filth.
High barometer from the northwest
will push severe to dangerous gales
over the lake regions, all to be fol-
lowed to marked change to colder.
A reactionary storm period will cul-
inmate on and touching the 14th and
18th. Much of the country will ex-
perience very cold days and frosty
nights not far from the 18th to 18th.
A regular storm period covers the
18th to 22nd, and promises to bring
very decided autumnal storms. Ear
ly in the period, in western extremes,
falling barometer will announce ap.
preaching storm conditions. By the
Doth cloudiness and rain will appear,
and from Sunday the Goth to Tuesday,
the 22nd, storm areas will make their
transit eastwardly across the country.
A reactionary period is central on
the 18th, Goth and 9th. Some early
sleet to the northward will be report
| ed before the close of this period
| which is central the 3lst and extends
into November.
A regular storm period begins on
the Doth, is central on the 31st, ex-
tending to November 3rd. From
about the 3lst, to November the 3rd,
autumnal rains will take up their
march from west to east, followed
from the west. and north by rising
barometer, change to cold, westerly
winds, with early snow and sleet over
large areas to the northward.

SCHOOLS GET ONLY $4,000
Common Council Increased Ap-
preparation Only $4,000.

The most important act of the city
council at the regular monthly meet
ing, held in the west side council
rooms Tuesday, was the granting
of the school allowance for the coming
year.
At the last meeting of the council
the chairman of the school board APP
peared before the city fathers. and
asked that the city schools be allowed
S35, 900 for the expenses during the
coming year. At that time the mat
ter was laid over until Tuesdays
meeting when it was cut to $50, 900,
or SO 900 more than was appropriated
last year. The allowing of $50, 900
was granted after good deal Of dis
cuSsion.
The question of draining the west
side district was again brought for
ward, and occupied a good sshare OF
the time. For some time there has
been a number of people who have
held to the theory that these lands
could best be drained to the Wiscon-
sin river, and at the meeting
Tuesday, the city engineer was in-
structed to prepare the plans, and
furnish an estimate of the cost for
the drainage in this manner.
Negotiations for the purchase of
the lot adjoining Library park. and
laying along side Of the Christian
Science church, were ordered opened
with the owners.
Aside from the allawence of the
usual routine bills, and other routine
matters, nothing of Importance was
done.

ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER PARK WEEK
The Spirit OF Improvement is
Attracting Attention.

The Park Week-the second week
in October-is sure to be one of the
most enthusiastic periods in the his
tory of Grand Rapids. If each mem
Der of the Federation invites one
gentleman and secures one team for a
single days work during park week,
the park will be complete by the end
of the week.
1t is the proper thing for the gentle
men to encourage the ladies' in their
excellent effort, by offering their SER
vices before they are asked Many
have already done SO, but many more
will be needed. Don't forget to regis
ter at one of the banks this week,
and ~ doing so, name the day or
days, when it will be most convenient
for you to help. 1t will be well also
for all residents owning work teams,
to consider how much the loan of the
team will aid in beau tifying Grand
Rapids.
The ladies are in receipt of many
communications enquiring about
Park Week. Since the announce
ment in the REPORTER, the novelty
has resulted in comment in many of
the state papers, and in every case
the spirit of improvement is COM
mended. The cooperation of the
citizens is attracting no end of atten-
ton and favorable comment.
Among those who have made en-
quiry is Mrs. Millspaugh, of Chicago.
1t will be recalled that this lady adj
dressed the Federation in this city in
June. She commends the good work
and requests particulars and results,
in order that she may recommend it
in the state conventions she is to adj
| dress.
The enthusiasm of Grand Rapids
may be an inspiration to many cities,
so let the good work continue.
The half days for business men will
not be part of the program as at
first announced, as it is desirable to
have all the help possible on Monday
and Tuesday, Oct. It'll and 8th., while
Mrs. McCrea, the landscape architect,
is here. The workmen, during the
whole week will be directed by En-
gineer Philleo and by City Teamster
John Henry.
Not alone the ladies of the Fedora
ton, but all the ladies of the city, are
requested to solicit farmers and citi-
zens for teams and labor. Farmers
who come in with teams for park
week are requested to bring their
drags, and each laborer is also re-
quested to bring along such tools as
will be necessary, such as spades,
shovels, rakes etc.
The husbands, brothers and friends
of the Federated Ladies are expected
to be very much in evidence on Mon
day and Tuesday. In case any are
unable to leave their business they
are requested to send substitute, in
order that the success of the under
taking will not be endangered by
their absence. Even though but one
or two hours work can be given, it
will be appreciated and help greatly.
1t has been suggested that those not
owning work teams, might unite and
hire teams or labor for one day. The
suggestion is good one.
The ladies announce that they will
serve sandwiches and coffee at 10 a.
m. and at 3 p. m. each day Dinner
will also be served at the Witter
House for all those living at a dis
lance.
The ladies are doing their part, so
get together all you boosters" and
do your part.

WHAT THE WORDS MEAN
Indian Names Given Islands Are
Quite Appropriate.

As stated in the REPORTER last
week, the English meaning Of the
Indian names, given by the ladies TO
the three islands which will become a
part Of the park system in Grand
Rapids, are given herewith as fol-
lows:
Ah-dah-wa-gam was the name
given by the Chippewas to this settle
ment and means Grand Rapids.
The Chippewas in this state were
divided into 16 clans or bands num-
bering about 1000 persons altogether.
Each band was governed by chief,
and each had war captain, a chief
orator and chief medicine man.
The Wisconsin river band, num-
bered about 200 Indians and occupied
the country from below the GRAND
Rapids up to Tommy Hawk Lake.
One island has been given the name
of the head chief of this band, Osh-
ka-ba-wis. He is said to have been a
very sensible and intelligent Indian
He went to Washington during
President Folks administration, II
company with other chiefs, to obtain
redress for some grievances about
their payment. They secured an ap
preparation of $4,000, but were
cheated out of it by the interpreter
who went with them; who having
charge of the money, hid $4,000 OF 1t
and soon after died, so that the
Indians received only $1,000 of the
amount. The name Osh-ka-ba-WlS
means the messenger.
The name of another Indian, Soa-pe
mau was suggested for one OF the
the islands as he is associated with
some of the earliest settlers. a butter
bowl made by him and owned by Mr.
Sampson will soon be placed on eX
hibit at the library.
Soa-pe-mau was of the MenOmonle
tribe which frequented this vicinity
