What Tests of Fourteen Samples
at Wichita Revealed
After Being Subjected to q
Chemical Analysis.
FROM DAIRY WAGONS
Barnyard Litter and Particles of
Sand Discovered.
Tuberculosis Germs We're Bask-
ing in But One Sample.

Wichita, May 16.-The Beacon
says: Results of testing fourteen diff
ferent samples Of milk are presented
by the Beacon today. The samples
teen dairy wagons. They were aver
age samples Of the milk which is con-
sumed in Wichita homes every day.
The qualitative analysis and tests of
the milk samples were made at the
Paramount college laboratory. The
Whitaker, Of the department Of biol
ogy, and DR.. S. E. Swartz, of the de-
partment of chemistry.
While tuberculosis germs were dis
covered in one sample Of milk, the
tests show, in many instances, a lack
of sanitation. The milk was dirty
some Of 1t filthy.
If some of the samples Of milk the
Beacon bought that morning had been
purchased by a consumer he would
have taken dirt, barnyard filth, straw
and other vegetable matter with his
coffee or breakfast dish. All these for
eign substances were found in some
Of the milk samples. They were re-
vealed in mentionable quantity when
piled the tests.
While tuberculosis germs were
basking In but one of the sam
pies, the germ family was fairly well
represented. The tuberculosis germ
has no monopoly on the dairy pro-
duct. His taste for milk is shared
by other germs that are almost, II not
quite, as dangerous.
There were pus germs and other
kinds in four samples
There were both pus germs and
blood clots in one sample.
There was blood and no germs In
one sample.
Yellow sand was present in the
milk from one dairy.
There was evidence of disease OF
the COW in two samples.
Four samples contained soil, ma
nure and other vegetable matter.
One sample was designated as
Every clean and otherwise in the best
condition"

In the upper part OF the Ruby Valley
is really serious one, and the stock
men of the county are feeling the loss
keenly, for a wolf Is almost as big as
a St. Bernard dog. and has an appe-
lite in proportion. 1t takes lot to
feed him, and he generally likes to
feed on warm flesh and do the killing
himself, or else be in on it. He Is not
a coyote to play the jackal and feed
OF carrion.
For a while I secuted at the idea
of wolves being in the valley in num-
bers, but had occasion to change my
mind few weeks ago. I was above
the upper canyon. looking after some
stock, and camped out near the Car
ruthers cabins. Before daylight / got
up and found the horses had moved
out of the little valley, and started
after them. Before I had gone more
than mile 1t began to get light, and
in the sagebrush. not over 200 yards
objects moving about, which mis-
took for deer. Thinking it queer that
deer should be in such locality, I
went little nearer to investigate,
Then my hair stood on end, for
could see that they were wolves, all
big. gaunt, hungry-looking chaps.
Seeing me. they sided slowly away
trotting on a hilltop, where they came
against the skyline, and I could dis
tinguish them clearly. I counted 18
in the bunch, and fully that many
more went below the skyline, so that
they were lost in the shadows. That
can assure you do not want to see
any more of the critters, especially
when I am on foot and unarmed."-

WOLVES IN FARMYARDs.
They KIN Horses and Cattle In Mon
tana, Hunting In Big Packs.

FLOR some unknown reason wolves
are coming back into our section Of
the state" said Frank Metzel. promi-
nent as stockman and ranchman Of
the upper Ruby valley for many
years. land they are creating consid-
nowadays Of coming into a barnyard
and making kill and a number Of
valuable animals have recently been
destroyed by the varmints.
"Only q few days ago a pack in
vaded one of the pastures near the C.
x Larabie Brook Nook ranch and
killed two finely bred colts, while
It. and with ranch hands less than
half a mile away. There are a num-
Der of other incidents in the valley
where they invaded the corrals and
killed calves, and 1t is nothing infre-
Quent for killing to be made in a
pasture.
Until within the last few years our
section of the country has been free
from this curse of the range, and 1t is
only in Isolated cases that a gray wolf
was ever reported. Now they go in
packs and hunt systematically I can
remember the older men of the valley
tell OF seeing wolf packs in the early
los, but those old time hunters were
DO relentless in their hunt of the ami
mails that few escaped. and 1t was
believed the entire wolf tribe Of that
part OF Montana was practically ex-
terminated. It Is only during the last
few years, since the establishment OF
the forest reserve system, that the
wolves have become particularly per.
nicious. There is some talk of the
forestry bureau putting in a trappe1
20 hunt the wolves in the Madison
reserve this winter.

Frisco Road Is Receiving New
Steel Baggage Cars.
Will Be Used on Kansas Lines
of System.
STEEL INSIDE AND OUT
Mail Clerks and Baggagemen
will Be Much Safer.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

The Pullman car company IL de-
livering to the Frisco railroad twenty
five steel baggage cars which were
ordered in February of last year. As
soon as these are delivered a ship
ment of six combination mail, bag
gage and express cars of similar con-
struction will follow. The reason for
the delay is that the Pullman COM
pany is over a year behind on its or
ders.
The steel baggage cars are so feet
on inches long, and the combination
cars 10 feet 1 inch long, over the stills.
The under frame Is of steel, with CEN
tie rand side steel Orders feet
inches deep. The upper frame is of
steel, well tied together and riveted
to the under frame.
Several of these new cars Will be
used on passenger trains between st.
Louis and Wichita.
In speaking of these new steel cars
an official of the Frisco railroad says:
1.-THE construction Of these cars fol-
lows closely the idea along which the
system lines have been working in
freight car designs. The outside fin
ish is OF the tnterlocking steel type,
same as IL used by the Pullman COM
pany on its latest sleeping cars. The
inside sheathing Is also of steel, ap-
piled horizontally instead of vertical
". This sheathing inside and out.
closely resembles the ordinary wood
on Bheathing when painted and var
nished.
'-The floor. doors. windows and
deck sashes are wood. and we feel
that this amount Of wood, together
with blocking and mailing strips is
Justified in the reduced cost and that
It Is neither necessary or desirable to
make the cars absolutely all steel.
1.-THE new baggage cars are equip
ped with eight foot side doors in one
end to accommodate automobile busi-
ness. The centers Of these eight-foot
doors are staggered four feet, to ia
cilitate the loading of long machines.
We have maintained the common
standard sixwheel truck OF wooden
construction on these cars. as this
truck has given excellent service on
our other equipment, and we feel that
as few trucks are destroyed, we
should maintain our standard truck"
