1t is the custom with many feeders

ent without regard to variety.
During the winter season the ami
mails have no opportunity to secure a
variety of food, as is the case when
they are on pasture. The variety must
be furnished by the feeder, who often

An IMPERIAL Army,

Publication of an intention to recruit
the army up to the full lawful number
of 100000 comes with additional force
at this time. 1t at least shows thai
Mr.. Roosevelt has the courage OF his
convictions that big army and big
ger navy are essentials n ridintaining
the peace Of the nation. The general
staff is pleased to look at the matter
In an economic light and tries to show
that the garrisoning of our army posts,
especially those in the Philippines
makes necessary the increased force.
But the people, willing enough to con-
tribute taxes for the legitimate ex-
penses of the government, are unable
to see in an army that begins to meas
ure up numerically with those of i'm
perialistic Europe anything but new
drain on labor, another way to expend
public moneys. a new addition to the
pageantry that seems to please those
mad for colOnialism and vulgar dis
play
Two years ago came complaints from
Europe that their population was be-
ing depleted by emigration. Attention
of the chancelleries was first called to
the inroads we were making when the
CONSUMPTION showed hundreds of absen-
tees. The alarm was not that the soil
should go untitled or labor would be
scarce, but that European powder was
being robbed of its food. That we
should sap them of their Industrial
strength bothered them not at all, but
to rob their armies of recruits was
hard blow.
Is 1t to come that a nation which
has taken pride in building up a sturdy
transplanted race shall itself resort to
militarism and load on the back OF
every workingman a soldier whom he
must maintain?

HOG CnOIeIa.

In the way Of treatment the United
States Bureau Of Animal Industry has
discovered a vaccine which saves about
so odd per cent after cholera appears
in herd, and a larger per cent If vac
cinated before the disease is intro
duced. Time will demonstrate the
practicability Of this method. The
bacteriology department of the Kansas
State Agricultural College is also work
ing along these lines, but is not yet
ready to announce anything but prog
ress.
When symptoms of cholera appear
in herd, it Is wise to dip the whole
herd, disinfect their quarters thorough
ly, give them slight change in feed,
and add to this about five drops Of
tincture of prickly ash for each hun
dred pounds of hog once or twice
day. The old remedy Of wood ashes
and salt is good in many instances. A
little powdered sulphate of copper,
dried sulphate Of iron, or charcoal
given daily when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good. After all, the old adage, an
ounce Of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, holds good here.

Wisconsin supreme Court huIes OK
Regulation OF photographers.
The Supreme Court declared unconsti-
tutional the Wisconsin eight-hour railroad
telegraphers' law. which was enacted at
the 1907 session of the Legislature. The
law is declared unconstitutional on the
theory that it is in conflict with the pro-
visions of the federal constitution, which
clothes Congress with the power to regu-
late interstate commerce and further that
Congress having already provided a law
fixing the hours of railway telegraphers
from nine to thirteen hours, it was not
within the power of the State to enact
law which would in effect change these
hours. Divorced persons in Wisconsin
are prohibited from marrying again with
in one year and that any such marriage
during such period after divorce is ac-
cording to a ruling of the Supreme Court
null and void. The decision was in con-
nection with a Divorce who went to Mich
igan before the expiration of a year, mar
ried again and returned to Wisconsin.
The court rules that such pretended mar
riage will not be recognized by the courts
of Wisconsin.

because Of the difficulty in conveying
the milk from the teats to the receiv

Der tubes, varying IN length from six
inches to several feet, are used. These
are difficult to clean. They can not
readily be washed free from the milk,
they can not be dried so as to prevent
bacterial growth, nor can they be steri
liked without injury to the rubber by
passing steam through them. The only
way TO keep them in a sanitary condi-
ton is to rinse them with cold and
then with warm water and finally i'm
merse them in an antiseptic solution

Therefore if milk is TO be kept sweet,
it is necessary to cool it as quickly as
