DISEASE GERMS
FROM COWS
MIR Contaminated in Various
Ways From Time It Leaves
Cow Until It Reaches Table.

There are hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from
the time it is drawn from the udder
till 1t reaches the table in the form
OF sweet milk, cream, or butter. First.
a great deal Of bacteria, impurities
and disease germs get into the milk
at the barn or lot in which the COWS
are kept. Second, a great many more
OF these owe their existence in milk
to the attendant and the place in
which the milk is kept.
The moment the COW shows signs
of being Ill, or when even a slight
eruption Is noticeable, a person may
contract disease by partaking of her
milk.
Impure water is another way In
which milk is contaminated. If the
COW is compelled to drink out of a
mud hole, filled with disease germs,
she cannot help but drink a large
number Of those germs into her sys.
TEN, some of them being sure to reach
the MIX.
Milking the COW into an open pail
when the barn is filled with dust, and
from which there hangs an untold
number Of dirty cobwebs, or milking
her in an extensively smelling lot,
where the filth is ankle deep, or milk
ing a COW where udder, TANKS and
legs are covered with dirt and filth.
in such cases 1t is impossible to avoid
contamination Of the milk.
We believe that more disease germs
are given the human family through
milk than are given in any other
agency; and we also believe that less
attention is paid to the care of milk
than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

SET IN HER WAY.

Sweet Mary Jane sat fourteen days. and
wouldn't deign TO rise.
Although her folks tried every way q
make her realize
That II was quite unladyllks to sit an
day and night.
And never change her attitude or rouse
her appetite.
They cOaxed and teased and threatened
her, and still she would not stand.
And when they tried to raise her up she
bit then on the hand,
They didn't want to do her harm, or call
In the police,
And yet they sorrowed at the thought OF
Mary James decease.
But Mary Jane knew what was best,
she wiser was than men.
She sat until she'd had her set, for Mary
was hen.

View Showing Stanchlons.

A form of combined stanchion and
manger for calf feeding is illustrated
In a bulletin published by the Mich.
gan Experiment station and is recon.
mended as being very convenient, The
principle on which the stanchion is
built is not claimed to be new; the
use dates back a number of decades,
but the especial application and ad,
tustment of the one hereafter describ.
ed presents some new features. This
particular model is produced as the
result Of three years trial. having I'M
dergone several changes since the
first one was installed. This appli.
ance can be adjusted so as to accom-.
modate the calf from birth up to u
months of age. The calves are con.
fined In the stanchions at feeding
time only. After the calf has been
secured the milk bucket Is placed In
the manger; when the milk is con.
sumed the bucket is removed and en-.
silage and meal supplied, followed by
hay. BY using this stanchion method
OF feeding the maximum number OF
calves can be kept in a minimum
amount Of space In a clean. healthy,
thrifty condition, providing they are
given access to the outdoor yardage
The average size of the four calf pens
In the dairy barn, including manger
space Is 10 feet three inches by u
feet inches. Each pen accommo.
dates eight calves up to five or six
months Of age. The average size of
two pens in the grade herd barn ac-
commodating six calves each. is 8 feet

A Vain Threat.

A group in the mark attracted much
attention the other day. 1t consisted
OF a languid-looking woman read
ing a novel with a flaming cover,
nursemaid, who was evidently new
and green, and two troublesome little
children.
The youngsters fought, screamed,
and scratched. while the maid looked
on helplessly.
At last the novel reader closed
her book and said, impatiently:
"Hilda, II you can't keep them quiet.

men alive and comparatively well
have arisen from their grave.
In these six days the rescued men
have passed through horror the
like Of which never has been describ-
ed, even in fiction.
Without food, heat or even air, the
men gnawed at bark from logs used
for supports in the mines, erected an
earth wall to protect themselves from
the deadly white damp of the mine,
successfully fighting off the deaths
that appeared so imminent.
But the men who have returned to
life can only thank themselves and
the scientific knowledge of one Of
their number for the fact that they
are alive. It was through their own
heroic efforts that they were saved
from suffocation in the mine. From
the moment they were trapped in the
blazing shaft last Saturday afternoon
until they were carried from the mine
this afternoon the men have battled
with death.

Louis Lucke, who last year
bought a place on the river eight
miles below town, put out fine lot
of berries this year and next season
will be in the market with his crop.
He will follow general farming and
as soon as the big gravity canal
reaches him will have one of the
most productive places Of its size in
the county
A visit to the Maxwell orchard
proves that fine fruit can be grown
in that part Of the valley. There is
a 15-acre old orchard which will
produce a fairly good crop this sea-
son and 1j-acre, 3-year-old orchard
which presents fine showing of
what can be done when young trees
are properly cared for. They are
certainly all that could be desired,
Next year 10 acres more will be put
in orchard and this will make a
place about as large as can be cared
for under one management.

INTERVIEW WITH THE FATHER
OF KANSAS PROHIBITION
PRES. TAFT "PUTTYMAN"
Some RecOlIections Of Events OF the
Blaine-ClevcIand Campaign
Of 1884.

A special from Spokane, Wash,
says that st. John, formerly govern
or of Kansas, who has come to Spok-
ane to begin the fight for prohibition
in the state of Washington, made two
predictions in the course Of an in
terview:
Nothing but his death will pre-
vent the nomination OF Theodore
Roosevelt to succeed President Taft,
and If he is not elected no other re-
publican can be.
Ten years hence there won't be a
legalized saloon within the bound
aries of this commonwealth. Spokane
will be dry in five years from this
time"
Mr.. st. John said among other
things in speaking Of Roosevelt and
Taft:
Theodore Roosevelt Is the sharp
est politician in the United States.
But for him Mr.. Taft would never
have been thought of for the presi-
dency. Roosevelt knew Taft, and so
do 7, but he knew that Taft is a putty
man, soft putty at that. Roosevelt
helped to elect Taft. He knew that
his administration would be a fail
ure.
Roosevelt went off to Africa He
is not mixed UP in any of the ques-
tions before the people today In
the course of IS months he will re-
turn, covered with rhino hides, ele-
phant tusks and glory. The how
and yell element in politics will raise
the cry for Roosevelt. The country
will go wild over him. Nothing but
his death will prevent his nomination
to succeed Taft, and If he is not elect
ed 1t will be because no Republican
could win"

Creamery Meeting

The question of establishing a
cooperative creamery in River Falls
has been quite generally discussed
Of late, and the sentiment seems al
most unanimous in favor of doing
SO. Partial lists of COWS have been
pledged, which indicates that the
creamery will be we'll supported.
1t has been decided to call a meet
ing of all farmers and citizens inter-
ested in the project, to be held in
River Falls on Saturday, May q, at
loo o'clock p. m. to make plans for
the organization.
Committees have been appointed
TO arrange for this meeting, propose
plans of organization and report on
the question of location, ETC., but
all questions are to be referred to
the meeting for final settlement.
The Importance to the farmers of
this vicinity and the commercial in
terests Of the city, of well support
ed and efficient cooperative cream
cry, is much greater than is COM
monty supposed and all are urged
to attend and take part in the or
ganization. BY THE COMMITTEE.

From the Wheaton tMinn) Gazette-Reportel
Jeremiah E. Flint Dead

To the many who have been as
Sociated with Jerry Flint in either
a social or business way during the
many years he has been Unidentified
with this section of the state, the
news of his death was q message
that brought the deepest sorrow.
Death came to him suddenly at
Warren, Mimi, where he had gone
to look after property interests.
About one year ago, while he was
here in Wheaton, Mr.. Flint suffered
a slight stroke of paralysis, and al
though he afterwards regained suf-
ficient strength to travel about, his
intimate friends could observe that
he was steadily failing and that
death might come at any moment
and without warning, as reports
here state that it did. Mr.. Flint
passed the greater part of his life
at River Falls, Wisconsin. He en-
listed there at the opening of the
rebellion and fought bravely all
through the war, returning to River
Falls again when mustered out
1AOOul LWCnly yCd1 > efSO nC OC(dtllC
interested in real estate in the vicin-
ity of Wheaton and since then has
made his home here much of the
time.
No man lives who can say that
Jerry Flint ever wilfully or knowing
ly wronged him. His sense of jus.
tice and his regard for truth and
honesty were such that no circum-
stances could induce him to avail
himself of an opportunity to secure
an unfair advantage in any transac-
ton. His integrity was not the re-
suit of fixed rule, but was a trait
of character implanted in him by
nature, and dishonesty or trickery
were repulsive 10 him. In his breast
beat kind, noble heart and his at
titude toward his fellow men was
charity for all and malice toward
none. He was good, patriotic cit
izen who sought for and advocated
the best things in life, who despised
hypocrisy and whose good deeds
were performed in manner to at
tract the least possible attention.
His life was one that any young
man might well pattern after, and
his death brings sincere regret to
the many who SO highly priced his
friendship.

Base Ball

LOCAL HIGH TAKES ONE MORE
Last Saturday afternoon the local
high met Hastings high on the local
campus. Hastings had a likely
looking bunch, and the bugs who
watched them practice had the
trembles when they thought what
would happen when the game began.
And when the game began they had
more trembles, for Hastings began
hitting the ball from the start, and
in the second inning counted three
times before the locals woke up to
the fact that there was trouble brew
ing That was all they had coming
however for Sy1nes steadied down
and after that there was nothing
doing for Hastings except errors,
while River Falls began to connect
with the ball and run through the
errors, and when they got through
thew had tailed fourteen. At that
it was a desperately ragged game.
River Falls had errors chalked up
against them, while Hastings had
II.
The local boys will be seen in
action again next Saturday at three
O'Clock, when they take on the team
from Galahad. Galahad has beaten
Ellsworth Is to 8, and lost to New
Richmond 4 to 0, SO the game should
be good one, and will go far
toward settling the championship
for the section for this year. Turn
out and see it.
