There are twenty-three directors
of the National City Bank STANDARD

of the National Bank of Commerce
CMorgan). The business
partner of the Morgan group IS
found on the directorate of the chief
financial institution which heads the
Standard Oil group. And one OF
the leading directors of the Nation

of the principle financial institution

tant groups are not additional to the
list of less than one hundred men
whom have referred to as controli-
ing the industrial life of the nation,
but a part of that group"
Continuing Senator LaFollctte
pointed out the fact that these one
hundred men controlled more rail
roads than could possibly be emu
merated in this brief letter. That
the twenty three directors represent
more than three hundred and fifty
other banks, trust companies, rail
roads and industrial corporations
with an aggregate capitalization of
more than twelve hundred million
dollars. In a burst of eloquence the
senator denounced this concentration
of business and Of wealth He in
sisted that legislation should be en-
acted which would prevent the COZ
troll by mere corporal's guard OF
men of all the industries and par
ticularly the railroads of the United
States. He demanded that there
should be legislation to avert this
danger. In talking of the issuance
of national bonds he said "Wher
once the government invites the ma
tional banks of the country to invest
IN them for the patriotic purpose o.
| averting financial disaster, these

DDNoT WANT MILK PAs1EuRlzED HEATING MILK TOO EXPENSIVE
Coal Required to Warm Milk II
Creameres in Winter.

Prof. Bouske, of the Iowa Agricul-
tural College, at Ames, says in the 5th
Annual Year Book, page 235: Il am
told by butter-makers, and l believe
it myself, that it takes as much steam
to warm frozen milk to separatinS
temperature as it does to run the
separator to separate the milk and we
all know that it takes a good deal Of
coal to run creamery and run the
creamery separators." Add this to the
coal necessary to heat the skim milk
to $50 degree F. and you have one
of the wasteful practices of the limit
ed number of milk creameries now In
operation. The coal USED in winter
is no small item of expense, which
the hand separator enables each farm.

To the farmer in such states az
Iowa and Minnesota where the wealth

months of the year. are cold, the ar.

one to be considered most important.

ate the advantage in owning the

THE BEST FEED POSSIBLE
Pigs Averaging SIS Pounds in Weight
Eat Sweet Skim Milk, Corn Meal
and Middlings, Showing Skim Milk
to Net The Farmer SOC per Hundred
Pounds.

To show the great value of skim
milk as food fir young growing pigs
an extensive experiment was tried by
Prof. G. D. Smith Of the Michigan Elk
pertinent station. A batch of Z pigs
were fed 1898 pounds Of skim milk,
and 40 pounds of grain in IS days.
During this time the total gain was
395 pounds for the pigs.
Figuring pork at $6.10 per hundred
pounds, and grain at $4,000 a ton, the
fresh hand separator skim milk will
figure at soc per hundred pounds.
Perhaps you have never placed as
high q value as this on skim milk for
feeding purposes. We can show you
letters from scores of farmers who
think that their hand cream separator
is worth many times the price they
paid for it in the wholesome skimmilk
a0ne, with which 1t furnishes them
for feeding to their growing calves
and pigs.
It pays to take care of the milk you
get from your COWS and to make it
pay you. A god COWS skim milk
should pay for her feed always.

the law and were encouraged to do
SO by the excellent buttermaker and
manager. Legal talent was consulted.
A stockholders meeting was called
and well attended. The excessive at
torney fee that was asked checked
proceedings and compliance with the
law resulted. They wanted the skim
milk uncooked and without the water
added. They said "for. every 100 lbs
milk delivered we prefer 80 pounds
of unwatered skim milk to 80 lbs of
watered and cooked skim milk" They
maintain that the state of Iowa was
destroying the feeding value of their
product. They insisted that buttermilk
was as dangerous as the skim milk
and that pasteurization was not a
success

READ THIS COMPARISON
Fearful Loss by Setting Mix as Com

We answer this question by giving
the exact figures of the New York

1922 The set milk required SO
pounds to make >one pound of butter;
me, separator 70 pounds to make one
pound of butter. With the set mill,
the churn got 70 pounds Of fat out
of every 100 pounds fat in the cream
that was churned. With the separator
SO pounds of fat in the cream was
obtained as butter. The same amount
OF milk that made Is pounds IA
ounces butter from milk set in cold
water, made 20 pounds II ounces, but

you have COW that gives only 200
pounds per year of butter you have
saved 46 pounds; 300 pounds per year,
69 pounds; and If 400 pounds per year
81 pounds of butter. That answers the
question. The New York Station made

The West Virginia Experiment sta

They selected % hens and fed them
skim milk with the result that they
secured 1,244 eggs in this time. An

ing hens, the following test conduct
ed by the same experiment station
should be absolutely convincing.
In the second test, 60 hens fed with
skim milk laid 1862 eggs in 81 days.
Another 60 hens fed with other food,
without the skimmilk, laid 632 eggs

These figures show that in nearly

farmer having milk testing 800 pei

selling to cheese factory or condens
cry milk for 25 cents per 100 more
than the butter fat in the fresh milk

the price of pork remains the same.
According to these figures, cost

it is well to consider thoroughly
whether you are warranted in sacri-

Buying a milk separator is of much
more Importance than buying a bind

money every day in the year, rain or
shine. 1t saves you Is to so cents per
day on hauling the milk. 1t saves you
from 5 to 20 cents per day on being
able to skim cleaner than the cream
cry does. 1t saves you 20 cents to a
