Bulletin No. 81 from the Storrs Ag.
ricultural Experiment Station, Con-
necticut, is a most excellent one on the
origin or. sources OF those small or
ganisms called bacteria, which are
found so abundantly in milk. The
bulletin also contains some rather
startling statements and some whole
some suggestions.
Among the statements which ought
to make the average man sit up and
think are the following:
"A quart Of milk at Sc is equivalent
In food value TO pound OF beef at 1Sc.
This means that 4c worth Of milk gives
as much food energy in the body as &C
worth of beef
The average individual consumes
three or four times as much meat IN a
day as the body actually needs for re-
pair, and for its highest physical con
dition.
III the American people would eat
one-half less meat and consume one
half more milk, they would save about

neither had the advantage on this score.
But the rowers on the Pioneer were, on
the whole, stronger, and more skillful

Joshua's successor, though he made no

The result was that the race was a

Dairy Idols.

Cows becomes favorites with their
owners not altogether by reason of the
milk they produce. We have known
cows that their owners thought a great
deal of because of the kindly disposi-
ton of the animals. One COW that the
writer remembers gave but a few
quarts Of milk day, but she was a pet
Of the family. She would prefer the
company of members of the family
rather than that OF other cows. If the
cows were being taken to pasture she
would insist on walking by the side of
the one in charge of the herd. II is
hard to order COW of this kind sent to
The butcher. and many people will not
DO It, Instead. the animals are kept
for dozen years, and not only allowed
TO eat up the provender without re-
turning a compensation for II, but are
allowed to add to the herd more cows
after their own ability not to produce
milk. These may fairly be called dairy
dolls. Their owners claim great things
for them without being able to substan-
late the truth OF what they say.
But the family pet is not the only
GRAND of dairy idol. There are the gen.
eral purpose cows that quite generally
have the entire confidence OF their own
ers as to their great value. They are
Idols that the single-purpose cow men
have demolished again and again. to
their own satisfaction. but they are still
70 be found all over the land.
The dairy idol is a thing that can be
dispensed with to the advantage of
the owners Of the cows. The warfare
against them will be kept up, and little
by little the factors we are warning
against will disappear. 1t may. how
ever, take about as long to eliminate
hem as II took Christianity to drive the
IDOLS out OF the pagan world.-Farmers

HITS AGED FATHER WITH A HATcHET'
Staten Island Man Admits
 Striking Blow.

New York, Sept. 11.-His skull crush. ed in as the result of blow from a hatchet wielded, it is alleged, by his son, to whom he had refused to give money. Stephen Gray, seventy-four years old, lies at the point of death in the Smith infirmary on Staten Island. and the son, Frank, forty-four years old, is in jail at Tottenville charged with felonious assault
 According to the police, Frank Gray freely admitted that he had struck his father. They say he expressed no con- cern when he was told that his parent doubtless would die.,
 Frank Gray made demand upon his father for money. A quarrel ensued when the elder Gray refused to accede to the sons demand. Thereupon, the police allege, Frank picked up hatch ct and felled his father with a blow.
