keeps the cows hide free from loose
hairs and foreign matter.
In fact, the hide of the COW is even
kept clipped toward the side of the
mixer so as to be absolutely certain
that nothing can fall into the milk.
Twice day the COW is also sponged,
especial attention being given to the
udder.
The fair milkmaid will be taught
that her hands can never be kept too
clean while taking the milk from it's
COW giver. She must wash them in
warm water before beginning, and re-
peat the operation after emptying
each bucket of milk
These are some of the high spots
in the remarkable program by which
an effort is being made to educate the
farmer as to his vital duty to safe.
guard his milk supply.
OF course, large part of the result
will depend on the amount Of moral
suasion that can be brought to bear,
for many of the suggestions made are
expensive and can hardly be put into
execution without a loss by those who
depend on the popular priced market
for the returns.
But one of the points adopted is
sure to result in a gain.
Ten thousand dollars yearly to be
invested by the state in guarding the
milk supply ought to yield its. profits
in an improved public health.

CLAPP TO MAKE FIGHT,
Will Have Vigorous Backing for His
Tax Amendment.


Washington, June 3O-Senator
Clapp, of Minnesota is going to make
a hard fight in the senate to secure
the adoption of his amendment to the
corporation tax proposition, making
holding companies subject to the oper-
alton of the tax.
By express terms these companies
are exempt in original draft of tax
section and Clapp says that such a
proposition, if put into law, would be
recognition by the government of the
trusts. 1t would also, he believes,
greatly encourage the formation of
holding companies for the purpose of
evading the tax
The Minnesota senator is to make a
speech in favor Of his amendment and
will be strongly supported by Senators
Cummins, Borah, Bristow, La Toilette,
Beveridge and Dolliver, and there may
be considerable other support. Some
of the democrats will join them, but
how many is not known.

the combination would be found to be
ideal.
Guernsey milk is known to be very
high in butter fat. The milk has a
natural rich color, very pleasing to
the eye, the taste, too, is all that can
be desired, but there is one objection
the globules of butter fat unusually
large, are not easily digested. When
mixed with Shorthorns or Holsteins
or Ayreshires, the milk of the Guern-
seSs is just neutralized enough to
make perfect and healthful drink.
Sanitation in Stable.
Fully as important as the breed and
physical condition of the COW is the
question of the stable, and all those
pupils who profit by the enterprise of
the state in supplying instructors will
especially have impressed on them
the Importance of having sanitary
homes for the producers of one of the
most vital of human food products.
The ideal stable should be built on

health and contaminate the milk.
Back of the long line of cows as they
stand in the neat, metal wided stalls
ought to be groove into which dirt
is continually swept and taken away.
In front of the stall is another groove
In the cement floor, through which at
regular intervals runs a stream OF
pure well water, till each COW has had
enough, and then it is shut off.
The food ought to be weighed out
to each COW, and not one ounce more
given than the attendant decides is
needful, for a COW needs only to be
fat and contented looking, and this
is not likely to be the case if over
feeding is permitted.
Care in Feeding.
| The right kind of material for food
will also be explained in detail by
this itinerant course of lectures on
COW knowledge. Grains, corn sileage,
clover and alfalfa hay are the stuffs
| that insure a good flavor to the milk
| The proper portions will be explained
| in detail.
| Sometimes it may become neces-
sary to decrease cows allowance of
one of the ingredients few ounces
| to reduce the production of butter fat
or to add something to increase the
supply of milk.
In such manner as this virtually
everything connected with the COW
| and it's production of milk can be
regulated along the lines which the
! instructors will lay down.
Of course, the COW has to be allowed
a certain amount of exercise in the
open fields, perhaps on average OF
three or four hours day, but here
again the instructor will be to the
fore again with good advice, for he
will tell the dairymaid how to be sure
there is no deleterious substance
growing there, such as garlic.
Only one COW needs to eat garlic to
affect the entire milking, and they
are so partial to it, that only eternal
vigilance can prevent the indulgence.
In the ideal dairy shavings will be
air with germ-laden dust. For the
same reason all hay before being fed
to the COW is wet down with a hose,
thus preventing the dissemination Of
the hay bacilli, which in dry hay fills
the atmosphere and is either inhaled
by the COW or flies directly into the
the milk.
Grains are kept in compartment
separate from the barn, thus prevent
ing the dangers of their favors from
getting into the milk, and all crevices
which might become lurking places
for dust, thus aiding in the infection
of the herd from a tuberculosis COW

Washington, June 30.-A call on ma
tional depository banks for a return

of the Treasury McVeagh. OF this
