THE NEW DAIRY LAWS.
A Synopsis of the Laws Passed
at the Last Legislative Session
Affecting the Dairy and
Creamery Industry.

The following is synopsis of the
laws passed by the last legislature
affecting the creamery and dairy busi
ness of the state. The statement
herewith is important and every
dairy and creamery man should clip
the item for reference:
Section 174O of the Revised Laws of
1905 has been amended so as to make
pasteurization of whey delivered from
cheese factories compulsory, the same
as has been the pasteurization of skim
milk from creameries for some time,
by heating the whey to at least 1S0 F.
Section 1741, of the Revised Laws
of 1905, amended at previous session
of the legislature, is now changed by
eliminating the exemption from the
license provision of the law of those
owning and selling milk from not
more than three cows. Hence, all
who make sales of milk or cream in
or to be used in municipalities, unless
to be manufactured into butter or
cheese, are now required to take out
the usual license.
Section 1743, of the Revised Laws
of 1905, now provides that all milk
or cream received or purchased for
the purpose of manufacturing into
butter or cheese, shall be received or
purchased by weight, and paid for on
the basis of the butterfat contained
therein. Said section as amended,
further provides in effect, for taking
the test samples of cream by weight,
and the use of no other appliance than
the Babcock test for testing milk Or
cream; and the Justification, mani
pulation, overreading or under read
ing is made misdemeanor.
Section 1744, of the Revised Laws of
1905, as amended, now not only re-
quires the delivery of milk, cream or
ice cream to persons, factories or
common carries in cans Or other ves-
sells free from filth or rust and in a
wholesome condition, but requires, in
addition, a thorough cleansing of

SPRAYING WEEDS.
Good Method of Getting Rid of
Mustard.

FURNISHED by the Minnesota Far
mer's Institutes, st. Anthony Park,
Minn.)
Mustard may be destroyed in grain
fields without injury to the grain by
spraying with per cent solution of
copper sulphate or with 20 per cent
solution,of iron sulphate, Iron sui
phate is the cheaper chemical and is
more commonly used. Tt is by pro-
duct in the manufacture of wire and
can be purchased at from $1,000 to
1900 per ton. 1t usually comes in 100
ID. sacks.
100 lbs. of iron sulshate dissolved in
a barrel $50 gals.) of water makes a
20 per cent solution, and the so gals.
is sufficient to spray one acre. Mus
tard should be sprayed before it forms
pods. The smaller the plants the
easier they are killed.
Spraying machines are offered for
sale at from $50 to $3.50, that spray
strip of land from loft. to "a ft. wide.
They have tank holding from so to
100 gals. of water, mounted on two
wheels and force pump run by the
traction of the wheels. Sufficient pres
sure must be obtained to force the
solution thru fine nozzle5 to make a
misty, fog-like spray that settles on
the leaues without falling to the
ground. Large fields badly infested
with mustard have been sprayed and
80 and 95 per cent of the mustard des-
troyed at a cost of so cents to 75 cents
per acre for material and 15 cents to
25 cents per acre for labor. French
weed and kinghead were injured by
this treatment but not enough to pre-
vent them from seeding. Canada
thistles were injured but grow up from
the roots again. Sow thistles and
wild oats were injured by this treat
ment.

Repeat with Hancock.

Last Sunday the Independents took
their second game from Hancock 6 to
4, making it five straight so far this
season.
The game was we'll attended and a
good game was witnessed. Murphy
who was on the slab for Hancock was
in fine form and kept Morris on the
waiting list for the first eight innings.
Hancock scored first in the second
on hit and three more in the seventh
on couple of hits and two over
throws. Bloom who did the twirling
for the Independents pitched good
ball thru out but at times was poorly
supported. Lord took the place of
Bloom in the eighth and in the eighth
and ninth got five strikes outs and
left it up to the rest of the team to
win the game. Some of the bunch
left when Morris repeated their bait
ing stunts in the eighth and the last
of the ninth came with the score to

ed things in the ninth with a single
and the stuff was off and the rest of
the inning was merry go around
with Hancock, doing her best to help
the thing along with two over throws
at third Morris getting five runs which
were all that were needed. Final score
6 to 4.
The Independents have no game
for Sunday yet, but week from then
expect to play the West Darnen team
who have acquired the services of
Bailey, Lewis, and Boscoe of the
Agricultural school team. They also
expect to play Kerkhoven here in the
near future.

POWER OI ONE VOTE

People are wont to laugh ut small
majoritics and poke fun at candidates
who have been elected by Il few votes.
Yet there have been numerous instances
in American history when great causes
have been won and lost by II single
ballot.
In the continental congress of l175
Benjamin Harrison defeated John
Hancock by IL vote for tine presiding
office. But the Virginian insisted on q
new ballot and by his own vote chose
Hancock.
In 1874 the illness of one delegate
from New Jersey kept slavery out ID
states admitted to the union after 1900
and thus confined the civil war con,
testants to the south Atlantic states.
July 10. l7SS, one votc ratified the
constitution, after the famous debate
between Madison and Henry ut Rich
mond. The next day the debate be
tween Hamilton and Clinton ended
with New York following suit. In l10(
Rhode Island came in with an equally
small margin.
Alexander Hamilton swung one vot,
to Thomas jefferson in the electoral
college of 1900, thus breaking Il dead
lock after thirty.six ballots and defeat
ing Aaron Burr. This really began tn,
fcud which cost Hamilton his life OIL
the palisades ut Wcehwkcn.
In 1908 Jesse Thomas, by his OWL
vote, went to congress from the lndi

the northern boundary of Illinois 81
miles north thus giving it Il lake outlet
Had Illinois been united commercially
with the south and her interest,
