SOUNDS "CUssY," BUT ISN'T.
Washington Judge UphOlds Legality
of "TO Hell With You

That ITO hell with you!" is not
profanity is the dictum handed down
by Judge Kimball of Washington, ID.
c., who is himself a church-going
man and opposed to irreverent Ian
guage.
Swearing is against the law in that
city. AS the case framed up in DO
lice court Charles f. Greenwell, a
plain citizen, sought some informa-
ton from Special officer Lewis. The
data handed out by the officer did
not meet the appreciation of Mr..
Greenwich and he expressed his dis
gust by exclaiming ITO hell with
you!" The officer yanked the citizen
off to the lookup and subsequently
caused his arraignment in court.
His dismissal followed the opinion
of the judge.

Protects Cows From Flies.

An Ohio farmer has found it profit
able to protect his COWS against
flies. He gets more milk, more
cream and more butter. And it is
safe to say the COWS find life more
ENJOYABLE.

from carrying out this plan. The Gen.
traliZers also secured injunctiOns in
April, 1908, restraining certain Michi-
gan roads from enforcing proposed in
creaSes in cream rates until the mat
ter could be acted upon by the Inter
state Commission.
The hearings before the commission
opened in Chicago on June 10 with
Commissioner Prouty in charge. All
the interests involved were we'll rep
resented and mass of evidence was
taken. Since that time there have
been hearings both in Chicago and
Washington and the railroads have
had strong backing from a large num-
Der of organizations representing the
local creamery interests.
The smaller creameries at country
points introduced evidence tending to
show that a lowering of the rates on
the raw products without similar re-
duction in the rates on butter would
be a discrimination against them and
in favor of the big centralized plants.
Dairy experts were also called in for
the purpose of showing that the but
ter manufactured at the local plants is
likely to be of better quality than is
the case where the raw product is
shipped long distances before being
made into butter.
The evidence introduced by the big
creameries was for the purpose of
showing that butter could be manu-
featured cheaper in big plant than in
small one and that the lower rates
would be of material assistance to the
producers by providing wider outlet
for their milk and cream.

IMPROVING THE DAIRY.

In terse and pointed article touch
ing this matter Hoard's Dairyman
says:
Two things on the dairy farms of
this country seriously need improve
ment. First the man of the farm J;
second, the COWS of the farm. A large
proportion of the farmers do not be-
lieve that they need any improve
ment. They-do not believe that they
have wrong ideas of cow and farm
management They are satisfied with
themselves and their ways of doing
things. Of course, as long as they are
in that state of mind no improvement
can come to them, or their COWS, or
their soil, or their profits.
No man does any better as long as
he thinks he is doing his best. Unless
ne knows what better work is he will
never want to try to reach it. Unless
he wants to know he will never know.
There is a great host of men who are
keeping COWS today who do not know
that they are way behind the light
house, in their ideas of COWS and
dairy farming. The COWS they have,
the returns they get from them, prove
lnat The tremendous difference in
the profits of one man over another
right in the same neighborhood, pat
rons of the same creamery, proves it.
Now, how shall these men improve
themselves in their business? How
shall they improve their COWS, make
them more profitable, get more profit
out of the business?
First they must come out from that
cover of wrong notions, wrong con-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-02-15

ceits, they have been hiding behind
They ought to see that something is
wrong somewhere. They are not max
ing the money out of COWS that in
telligent men are making. Then face
the question courageously and ask
frankly: "Am l as intelligent on this
dairy question as I ought to be? Have
l not been doing my work with wrong
ideas, wrong judgments? Would
have such poverty stricken results as
am getting if 1 were as well in
formed man in dairying as 1 ought
to be"
Now right here is the reason why
this great host of dairy farmers do not
improve. They never ask themselves
such questions. Their pockets tell a
plain story. There is no lying there
But they will not look that way. Yet
there is where all the trouble lies.
And until dairy farmers commence
asking themselves those very ques-
tons, until they are willing to admit
and see that they have been following
wrong ideas about themselves, their
COWS and the conduct of their farms,
they can not improve.

INTERSTATE RATES REDUCED.

The centralizers have won their
fight before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. In September of 1907 the
railroads proposed to raise the freight
rate on cream about 100 per cent. The
new rates were to become effective
on September 1, of that year, but a
temporary injunction was granted by
Judge Kohlsaat in the United States
Circuit Court. preventing the railroads
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-02-15

Commissioner Prouty said: "It
seems plain that the duty of the COM
mission is to establish just and fair
transportation charges in so far as
that can be done. The commission
should not establish scale of rates
with a view and for the purpose of
fostering or discouraging either form
of this industry"
The commission now holds, upon the
facts disclosed in the record of the
case, that the railroads schedule of
rates on cream to Chicago, between
Detroit and Port Huron on the east
and Colorado common points on the
west, is excessive, and orders into eff
feet a scale of rates prescribed as
maximum. The big creamery inter-
ests declare that the decision means a
saving of one cent pound on butter
fat to farmers who ship cream by
freight to the factories.
Commenting on this decision the
New York Produce Review and Amer
lean Creamery says: ut behooves
every local creamery and cheese fac
tory in the regions from which the
centralizers draw their supplies of
raw material to keep sharp watch
on the economical management of the
plant, the quality of the product and
the per cent of over-run. 1t is in a
disregard of one or more of these
three departments of the creamery
work that the true cause of local
creamery failure is often to be found"
One creamery at Tillamook, Oregon,
received 2,754,000 pounds of milk dur

Sharples Dairy Tubulars have
the finest known method of oiling.
The driving gears, and the bali
bearing which supports the bowl,
are enclosed in the head of the ma
chine. A spoonful of oil is simply
poured into the gear case once or
twice a week. The lower gear
wheel dips into this oil and throws
it in a spray over all the gears and
the ball bearing. The oiling is
perfect, is never forgotten, causes
no trouble. All running parts are
easily reached simply by lifting
the gear case lid.

THE WATER QUESTION
An Official Tour of Inspection of the
Source of Supply.

The water question is again being agi-
tated. 1t is so every year. about July
and during the months of August and
September when the streams are low
and drying.
The water situation today is as it was
last year and the years past, with the
exception that the stencil this year is
not SO strong as it was last year.
How can the water be free of stencil
when the source from which it is sup
piled is not scented with perfume?
An authority on water has declared
that the water supplied is wholesome,
notwithstanding the smell, and this
should be sufficient.
However, there is in progress today
an official investigation of the water,
and as before, forecast is as easy as
rolling off log.
1t is an old story, which will be re-
vived every year until the city of
Shreveport shall become possessed of
lIS UWIl water WOIkS,
1t is not disputed that the Water
works Company is doing ali, and per-
haps more, than is required of them by
their contract, nor would it be fair to
expect the company to spend more
money than is actually necessary to
comply with the letter of this contract,
unless the city would agree to extend
their franchises for an indefinite term
of years As has been explained, re-
peatedly, by the Caucasian, the grant to
the Waterworlss Company will have ex-
pired, and it is now the duty of the city
administration to begin a practical plan
to secure for Shreveport the water sup
ply of the future independent of the
present waterworks system.
About the only source of relief for
the present is, as in the years past, do
the best you can with the present water
supply.
While on this question of water it may
be said that the plan offered by Coun-
Gilman Lowenthal for a supply of good,
pure, wholesome water should enlist
the earnest attention of all the citizens
of Shreveport.
Why not try artesian wells?
Why not adopt system of cistern
water, but, at this suggestion comes in
chorus the answer absurd Why alb

RED RIVER BRIDGE
A Photograph of the Structure Sub
mitted to the Mayor.

Councilman Dambly has been exhibit
ing to his friends a photograph of the
bridge which is to be erected across
Red river. The photograph, giving the
outlines of the structure, has been sub
mitted to Mayou Dickson. 1t is attrac-
tive in its perspective and would indi-
cate that it is combination of the use
full and the ornamental, and it is to be
hoped that it will be in active construc-
ton before the term of the present city
administration expires.
1t is intended to have the bridge span
the river from Texas street. 1t is to be
what is called an overhead structure
with free access to vehicle and foot
traffic off and on the bridge. According
to the governments requirement there
is lacking about two hundred feet of
space to the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Pacific bridge, which, it is believed, will
not interfere with the location. 1t is
this requirement which has operated
against the constructions of the bridge
at Crockett street, the site favored by
ciizenS of Bossier and of Shreveport
The bridge at Texas street would Cost
twenty to thirty thousand dollars more
than at Crockett or Lake street, but the
many advantages would compensate for
this outlay The bridge at Texas street
would revive the Levee in that vicinity
The need for such bridge has been
discussed threadbare. Active operations
must be in evidence before February
next if the grant by the government is
to be maintained.

AGAINST THE NEGRO
Vermonters Object to Quartering
Twelve Hundred Negro Cava1rymen
at Fort Ethan Allen-Won't Eat in
Restaurants with Blacks and Want
Jim Crow Cars.

A telegram from Burlington, ", dat
ed July 20, says: Confronted with a
question similar to that which disturbed
the peace of Brownsville, Texas, and
resulted liz national scandal, the peo-
pie of northwestern Vermont are acting
not unlike their Southern brothers.
Burlington, one of the northernmost
cities of New England, and hotbed of
abolition in ante bellum days, is ur in
arms over the decision of the govern
ment to quarter 1900 negro cavalrymen
at Fort Ethan Allen, three miles from
the city. White people have refused to
eat in restaurants with the negroes, and
citizens of Burlington and Winooski are
seriously demanding separate cars for
whites aud blacks on the trolley road,
Jim Grow" cars as they are called in
the South.
Burlington, with its 1860 population,
is about as badly worked up as Winoos-
XII. Burlington is a license city, while
Winooskil, except for blind tigers, is
dry. 1t is already having trouble with
negro soldiers, and anticipates mach
more when the entire command has ar
rived. Winooski, a mile and halt
from the fort, has a population of I4oo.
When all the companies of the Tenth
Cavalry have arrived there will be 1900
negroes there. This town finds itself
facing a condition similar to that ir
many Southern cites amid towns, where
the negro population is nearly as large
or larger than the whites.
Northern public sentiment in the face
of these conditions is likely to be quite
different from Northern public senti
ment in the face of mere theory.

GALVESTON STORM
Limited Damage in the Island City-No
Life Lost = Reports Exaggerated
Protected by the Sea Wall.

In the hurricane which swept across
the Gulf of Mexico yesterday, Calves
ton, Texas, had trying experience,
which fortunately was unlike the dis
aster of 1000, when the sea swept over
the city and at least eight thousand peo-
pie perished.
The protection of Galveston from a
similar disaster is due to the sea wall
constructed at a cost of more than
100000. It is the sea wall which held
in check the waves rolling mountain
high and which dashed on and spent
their fury against the wall.
The storm swept across the island at
the rate of seventy miles an hour and
the barometer dropped to 2o.7. Dur
ing the storm of 1900 the barometer
dropped to 27.5 and the velocity of the
wind was as great as yesterday, but in
the 1ooo storm Galveston was unpro-
tected.
In the city of Galveston the damage
was no greater than would be the result
of such disturbance, and was confined
to bath houses and some piers. No life
was lost. A fishing sloop was dashed
against the center of the bridge between
the mainland and the city. The bridge
was damaged and the wire connections
were broken. Information from Gal
weston was conveyed by telephone to
Houston and from thence to the out
side world. The wire service was re-
stored in the afternoon.
The reports of the storm were great
" exaggerated and kept in narrowing
suspense those having relatives and
friends in that city. This storm, un-
fortunately, is not without its recort
of death. From Tarpon pier, sever
miles from Galveston, is reported ter
deaths, among whom are Captain Bet
tison and his wife, Edward Lewis, bar.

TO LIVE LONG
A Scientist Advocates the Removal OF
the Large Intestine

And now comes DIR. D1staso Of Paris
who says he has verified the theOry of
Prof Metchnikoff that old age can be
warded off. A London cable says:
at will be recalled that Prof. Metch
Niof declared few years ago that it
was his conviction that the large intes-
tine was the breeding place of the ma
jority of harmful germs in the human
body, and that when this intestine was
removed the majority of germs remain
ing in the body were beneficial, with
the result that life was prolonged.
Or Distaso's investigations were di-
rected to comparing the germs found in
normal individuals and in those whose
large intestine had been removed by
operation. He so satisfied himself by his
studies of the truth of Prof. Metchni-
koff's theory that he unhesitatingly says
that every child ought to have its large
intestine and appendix removed when
two or three years old.
He further affirms that almost every
chronic disease can be traced to the
action of these intestinal germs, among
others heart disease, arterial sclerosis
and most kinds of headaches. Every
body would get along better without
the big intestine, but those who are not
inclined to submit to its removal by ope-
ration ought, if they want to live long,
to eat very little meat, once daily being
plenty, with green vegetables and only
vegetables at other meals.
Water should be drunk abundantly
throughout the day, but no coffee, tea
or spirits, although little diluted wine
could be allowed with meals. Eggs are
dangerous poison They decompose
within the intestines exactly as they dc
outside, and afford an excellent breed
ing place for malehcent germs.
CDR. Distaso is about to return tc
Paris, taking with him two residents OF
London whose large intestine has been
removed for further observation at the
PaSteur Institute.
This is the scientists diagnosis of the
large intestine which may be, and
doubtless is, beyond the comprehension
| of the average mortal, but can DR.. Dis
taso or Prof. Metchnikof explain why
this intestine and the appendix were
placed in and are part of the marvel
GUS mechanism of the body if there be
not for good and useful purposes.
The theory of diet is reasonable and
sensible and if practicable would leat
Ito good health and long life, without
1.-THE removal of any part or particle oi
the human organism, except in instances
of great emergencies when life may b.
at stake, in an operation.
1t is fortunate that the great body o
mankind give little attention to thu
revelations and the deductions o
scientists and learned theorists. 1t i
to this marked indifference that may b.
attributed the sanity of the world.
Why was the intestine or the appen
dix placed in the human frame, if eithe
or both must be cut out from ever
Echild when two or three. years old?

from the view of the laynan.
