Aspiring Republicans.

Milwaukee Journal, May Is:
Affairs in the Third congressional
district interested many Republicans
in the Plankinton lobby today.
Judge D. O. Mahoney, Viroqua,
avowed candidate for the Republican
nomination against Congressman
Murphy, was there and this led the
talk to the old BabOck district.
Some say that Levi Fl. Bancroft,
who urged candidates to "get to-
gether," gave up the thought of sue
ceeding Congressman Murphy and
has turned his attention to the state
senate, where Senator O. G. Munson
will drop out because he is the COVER
nOr's secretary.
Levi Pollard is an avowed candi-
date for the Murphy brogans, while
A. w. KOpp, Platteville, nephew by
marriage of Assemblyman Duncan
McGregor, is futtering around the
candle. ALLEY Peterson and AS
sembIyman McGregOr are mentioned.
Mixed up with the congressional
situation is the success orship of Sena-
tor e. E. Burns, Platteville, chairman
of the committee on claims of the last
two legislature, who declines a re-
election Willard r. Graves, Prairie
du Chen, seeks the Burns mantle.
He is a former district attorney of
Crawford county, and charged with
scheming for a Stalwart lawyer for
congress, while prOfessedly support
ing ALLEY Peterson. He will have to
overcome the solid support of Grant
county for John Blaine, BOscobel.
Other state senators, who have alb
sOlutely declined to run this fall are:
G. H. Smith, Fond du Lac and Green
Lake counties; George W. Wolf,
Ozaukee and Sheyboygan; Henry
Hagemeister, Brown and Oconto coun-
ties; and Julius E. Roehr, Eighth
Milwaukee district
Henry Krumrey, Plymouth, former
asSemblyman is after Senator VOLTS
seat; William Lindsay would, it is
said, succeeded Senator ROehr;
Assemblyman Tim Burke, Senator
Hagemeister, w. I. Greene, T. H.
Gill, Arthur Green, former super
visor, and Senator Froemming are
after FrOemming's place.
Senator Tom Morris of La Crosse
and Senator Walter c. Owen, Maiden
Rock, are in the race. Senator
Noble will have the opposition of ex-
Railroad Commissioner John w.
Thomas, Chippewa Falls.

NSN S$lISdlIG Tor DdlIN SSkS.
a new schedule of charges for con-
Quoting tests of pure-bred dairy cows
for production has been arranged by
the regents of the state university,
and will go into effect on July l.
The rate for one-day tests is Sc, COW
ering the entire cost to breeder; for
two-day tests, SIS; seven-day tests, S25;
and thirty day tests, $50. Every day
additional to the two, seven, or thirty,
will be So extra.
These dairy tests. which have been
conducted by the agricultural expert
ment station at the university for the
past fifteen years, have established
the fact that many animals of remark
able productive capacity are bred in
the state. The Importance of the
tests to breeders and dairymen is
great, as the purchase of cows without
authentic records for high production
of milk and butter fat, or blood con-
nection with such records, is now
rare. AS breeders for whom the tests
are conducted are primarily benefited,
it has been decided that they should
pay the entire cost of the tests rather
than merely the expenses of he super
visor as heretofore, and for this
reason the new schedule has been ar
ranged.

Wisconsin Man Gets Indian

Prof. John r. Wise, a graduate of
the University of Wisconsin in the
class of 1888, has just been appointed
superintendent of the United States
Indian School at Chiloco, Oklahoma,
one of the largest and most important
Of those maintained by the govern
ment in the southwest. Mr.. Wise en-
tered the government service in the
record and pension Office in 1891, and
for twelve years after held position
in the Office of the commissioner of
Indian affairs. He was manager of
the United States Indian congress in
1898 at the Omaha expedition, and for
the last three years he has been as
sistant Superintendent of the Carlisle
Indian school. The school at Chiloco
is more valuable property than the
Carlisle school, though it has a few
less students. Prof. Wise's salary
will be 81. 500.

RUSTY CANS HARM MILK
State University Issues Warming
to Milk Dealers and Cheese
Factories,

Rusty Cans and Their Effect Upon
Milk for Cheese making" is the title
of the latest bulletin of the University
of Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment Station prepared by Mr.. Olson,
assistant chemist at the Station. Ex-
periments made by Mr.. Olson show
that milk hauled in poorly timed or
rusty cans is materially injured for
cheese making. 1.-The cheece factory
milk which is hauled in poorly timed
Or rusty cans" writes Mr. Olson,
''fOr in addition to the retarding in
fuence of the iron on rennet action
and the naturalization of the iron,
there are also produced taints or
off-flavOrs."
The milk cans used to haul milk to
the cheese factory are often of a cheap
grade, and are denied the first Or
second time that they are used, with
a result that the tin cracks, and the
iron is exposed and rusts. AT one
Wisconsin factory a can was found
that had been used for thirteen years,
and had been sodered forty times,
with lead patches two inches in diam
eter in some places. Milk kept in
such cans would take forty minutes
longer to coagulate than that kept in
good cans.
In these experiments milk was
placed in rusty tin cans and allowed

Hon. w. J. Bryan, who has al
ways been sound on the tariff ques-
ton, rightly told the conference of
governors in Washington last week
that we SHOULD not only preserve the
nations resources for future genera
tions but should see to it that these
were not monopolized by few of the
people and future generations should
not be fattened with perpetual fran
chises. Congress, should appropriate
sufficient money to carry on investiga-
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-05-21

to stand for different periods, while
other samples of the same milk were
kept in glass beakers. Every time
that this experiment was repeated, the
milk kept in the rusty cans gave evil
dence of retarding influence on the
reunet action as compared with the
milk kept in the glass beaker. Milk
which was allowed to stand in iron
utensils for several hours had a pc
culiar bluish-gray color, indicating
the presence of iron in the solution.
1t was evident that the acid in the
milk acted upon the iron and dissolved
some of it. The maximum quantity of
iron dissolved in the milk ranged from
one to one and a half pounds for
every thousand pounds of milk. This
iron in solution at least partly causes
the retarding influence on the rennet
action, since it increases the solids in
the milk. The bulletin urges that the
managers of cheese factories see that
the operator is a reliable man who
will not only practice cleanliness, but
will insist that the factory utensils
and those of patrons will be in first
class condition. He advocates the
use of heavy steel, we'll timed cans,
similar to those used in Europe,
which experience has shown are most
economical in the long run. He
argues for the cooperation of proprie-
tors of creameries and cheese factor
les and city milk supplies for this
purpose, with the establishment of
merit system of purchase of milk
founded on sanitary and hygienic
rules to encourage the production of
a superior grade of milk.

A KIND ACT.

At the conference of governors held
in Washington last week, the follow
ing resolution, introduced by Hon.
William Jennings Bryan, was adopt
ed by reclamation.
Resolved, That this conference
expresses its deep regret that EXPIRES
ident Cleveland is prevented by sick
ness from participating in this historic
meeting and expresses its sincere wish
for his speedy recovery"
The offering of the resolution was
kind act on the part of Mr.. Bryan,
and the manner in which it was re-
ceived showed that Mr.. Bryan had
touched the hearts of those assembled
in the important conference.

PLAUSIBLE PROMISES.

Senator Robert Fl. Taylor o. Ten
nessee thus describes the refrain of
tariff reform as sung by the friends of
the tariff:
"The railroads." he said, "are
only one string in the harp of a
thousand strings upon which our
modern Orpheus is playing the trium-
phal march of federalism"
1--WE hear" he continued, "a note
from the metallic string of the steel
trust and long sweet strain from the
sugar trust and believing note from
the beef trust and the ding dong of
the copper trust and the ping pong of
the leather trust and the sing song Of
a Thousand other trusts, all of which
are the legitimate results of an alb
normal tariff system. They are com
Polling the small industries of the
country to sell out to them or be
crushed in the coils of the serpent.
They are sweeping out every vestige
of competition in every department of
manufacture and trade which is the
only safeguard of the people.
THE tariff will never be reformed
by a Republican administration. 1t
is true that all the Republican candi-
dates for the presidency are falling
over each other in their efforts to re-
gale the American people with the
most plausible promises of tariff re-
vision, but none of them promise 5
tariff reform"

A WELL-KEPT FARMYARD.
Nothing Which Pays Better for the
Trouble and Cost.

Nothing is more pleasing and at
tractive than to see a beautiful farm
yard. 1t would be task to name all
the flower seeds planted in our flower
garden every spring or even the va
riety Of bulbs set in the fall
Seeds sown in the spring include
several varieties Of poppy pansies,
asters of all coIors, balsam, carna-
tons, cannas, chrysanthemums, alys-
sum, dahlias, datura, larkspur mari
gold, morning glory, nasturtiums, pc
tunias, sweet peas, verbena, forget
me-not and sweet william We also
plant many bulbs which are taken up
in the fall and stored away until
spring.
We have beds Of geraniums, hardy
roses and Towering shrubs that grow
four to five feet high and bloom pro-
fusely. The cut shows the arrange
ment of the drives and walks, trees,
shrubs, etc, of our place. There is a
hedge bordering the yard, two ever
green trees in front and some hard
naples over 100 years old.
The driveway is semi-circular, and
near the road is a signboard or sale
notice where | post what | want to
sell. The name of the farm is painted
on the board. Last but not least, Old
Glory floats from the flag staff.

Diagram Of the System.

any develop unless air is admitted to
the tank in which the sewage is being
purified So if one can run his sew
age into a water-tight concrete tank
nearly alright above, there the bac-
terra will revel and nearly all the
solid matter in the sewage will be
destroyed. The inlet and outlet to this
tank should be below the surface, both
to prevent the circulation of air and
to prevent any floating solid matter
being drawn into the next tank. The
second tank is like the first one, and in
it the water publication is carried yet
further. From this tank the water is
sometimes carried to sand and gravel
filters, and after passing through them
enough for drinking purposes, though
there would seem to be no valid rea-
son for putting it to this test.
There should be, then, two concrete
tanks, made water-tight, each provided
with a mani sle which should be prac-
tically air-tight, the whole being con-
nected with the house drain with as
muCu ldll DIS TIE NATURE u the SUI VIII
permit, and the drain being of vitrified
tito, with cemented joints. The inlets
and outlets of these tanks should be
below the surface of the water
Here is a farm system proposed by
Joseph e. Wing and published in the
Breeders Gazette: | see nothing bet
ter than TO finish the business by lead
ing the water away from the second
tank through glazed and vitcified tiles
till they join with the regular farm
drainage system, at a safe distance
from the well. This should make safe
the farm well against pollution and
the whole system should prove auto
matte in its action, and give no trou-
Bile.
On Woodland farm we have a very
tough, impervious blue clay everything
our water-bearing stratum of gravel
and use drilled well, so there is prac-
tically no possibility Of water pollution
from our drainage system. We have
but one tank, with drain leading
away This has worked perfectly since
