WHITE RIVER DAIRYMEN.

was held at the opera house at Au
burn June 81. One of the matters
under discussion was the tuberculln
test as required by Seattle officials.
DR.. J. E. Crichton, health and santa
ton commissioner, and his assistant,
DR.. F. S. Bourns, were present. j. l..
North, a Green River milk producer,
said: "The children out here drink
ten times as much milk as those in
Seattle but you don't hear about any
of them dying as consequence,
What's the reason? 1t looks to me as
if the milk becomes polluted, if at all,
after it reaches the city
The dairymen drew from the Off
Gals the admission that cement floors
perhaps are not as suitable for COW
barns as good wooden ones, and this
pleased them. Judge White quoted in
stances to show where cement floors
proved so damp and hard that they
gave the COWS rheumatism.
This part of the discussion evidently
arose from the rigid requirements laid
down by the inspectors. John Woodin,
Ravenna, who had been notified to
put in a milk house with a cement
floor is quoted as saying:
"Such regulations in dairy like
mine are foolish, but inspectors who
learn all they know about the business
in milk school cannot be expected
to know much better What | have
learned has been by experience, and
it extends over 80 years. 1t makes no
difference what the regulations are,
the only way you can get clean milk Is
to take pains in the milking, and
whether pains is taken depends entire
ly on the mixer If he does not keep
his hands spotlessly clean he will pol
lutte the milk If the udders of the
COWS are not washed twice daily, as
ours are. some dirt is bound to fall in
the milk. 1t is not the regulations,
but the spirit in which they are car
ried out that counts"
The farmers claimed that much OF
the trouble about milk is due to the
carelessness of the distributor and con-
sumer after it reaches the city, aver
ring that the consumers need educa-
ton along such lines fully as much as
the farmers 1t was stated, for in
stance, that placing milk in a refrig-
orator in most instances will cause
contamination unless the refrigerator
is kept scrupulously clean and venti-
lated.
DR.. A. H. .Fehr, of Georgetown, was
present in behalf of bill which he
hopes to get passed at the next ses-
sion of the legislature, setting aside
a fund for partially reimbursing any
owner compelled to destroy an animal
whose milk has been declared unfit
for use. In a number OF Eastern
states dairymen are paid from $25 to
$35 a head for all COWS destroyed for
tuberculosis and atinymacosis.
A committee was appointed to draft
constitution for the organization,
which is to meet again soon.
Such meetings are bound to promote
the work of improvement in dairy con-
ditions if officials and producers can
unite on sane and practicable lines OF
work. All such efforts need concil-
iatory plans for cooperation to be-
come productive of beneficent results.
Intolerance and bigotry on the one
hand are just as harmful as Ignorance
and slovenliness on the other.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-07-01

Conrad Johnson, proprietor of the
Queen City Dairy, in Seattle, entered
a plea of guilty in the superior court
where he was charged with entering
into an agreement to raise the price of
milk, and was fined $3.50 by Judge A
w. Frater before whom the case was
called for trial. Judge Frater has not
yet fixed the punishment of A. u.
Erickson, convicted by jury of con-
spiracy as charged.

Boise to Have 100000 Park.

Within short time by special cleo
ton, to the voters of Boise will be sub
mftted the proposition of voting $780,
600 in bonds for city park, says the
Boise Capital News. The ordinance
calling for the election is already be-
Ing prepared by the city attorney and
the matter is causing considerable
comment. A short time ago the city
was presented with 40 acres along the
banks OF the Boise river extending
from the Eighth street bridge to the
Broadway bridge on the north.
The property is centrally located
and is an excellent site for park, but
for city. which in few years. will
have over $4,000 Inhabitants, the tract
was not considered large enough and
negotiations were made for the mr.
chase of two tracts on the north. one
known as the Broadway park con-
sisting Of 81 acres. which can be pur-
chased for $4,000, and the Brock
tract adjoining 1t, consisting of 40
acres, which can be had for $4,000.
The owners of these tracts have
agred to accept city bonds for all but
$4,000 OF the purchase price, and the
interest on 100000 bonds. counting
the inhabitants of Boise at 20, 900,
would amount to less than IS cents
each per annum.
The matter Of purchasing this land
has been taken up and discussed by
the Columbia club and practically re-
ceiyed the Endorsement Of that organ
lzation.

preparations are being made to re-
