Belgium is to have a world milk con-
gress, in which the object is the saw
ing Of infant life by means Of sterilized
milk according to the methods of the
Straus depots in New York. Infant
mortality is one of the great problems
confronting the science and govern
ments of the civilized world, and it is
an additional source Of national pride
that the work done in the metropolis
Of the United States by an energetic
and enlightened philanthropist, who
has started at the practical end of this
problem, is to be the foundation of a
movement for the saving Of infant life

The coyote is a ms.cn despised AMI
NAL of the wild and woolly west, and
even Mark Twain's vivid description
of its powers of speed is not sufficient
to establish it in popular respect. But
it seems Colorado farmers have come
to the opinion that the coyote has
qualities heretofore unsupported and
which if they do not add to his repu-
tation for morality indicate a higher
grade of intelligence than he has been
credited with possessing. Colorado is
renowned in various ways; among
other things for raising the finest mel
onS. Now it appears the coyotes have
not only developed a taste for the mel
ons, but the sagacity to pick out the
ripest, best and sweetest. AS a con-
sequence, says the Troy Times, the
melon farms are frequently raided by
the beasts and the farmers are heavy
losers. Ordinarily a coyote is held in
such contempt that little or no atten-
ton is paid to him. But when he be-
comes destroyer of Colorado's
choicest melons he is daring fate too
much. 1t is now likely to be war to
the death, and the coyote crop will be
killed off in order to save the crop OF
melons.
