BITTERNESS IN
 MILK PRODUCT
Source and Nature of Bacteria Which Makes This Condition Possib1e-FreQuen
 Found in Udder.

tBY l.. A. ROGERS. UNITED STATES
 BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY)
 The distinct bitter taste which sometimes appears in milk may be caused by CD certain weeds that the COW has eaten. (2) an abnormal con dition of the udder. (3) an advanced period of lactation, (D the action of certain bacteria. Only the fourth cause of bitterness will be discussed in this paper.
 It is probable that the bacteria caus. ing bitterness are not at all uncom. mon and that they could be found in many lots of milk showing no bit. terness.
 Some of these bacteria form acid and sour the milk; the more common forms, however. form little acid and are checked by the growth of the lac tic acid bacteria.
 Nearly all of them form spores and thus survive heating. which destroys the tactic acid bacteria. For this req.

CANADA FORCING
 AHEAD

Thomas c. Shotwell, one of the greatest market reporters in America, writes from New York, under date of March 20th, and says:
 "The Tariff tangle with Canada which President Taft has taken in hand is of importance chiefly because of the multitude of American farmers that are crossing into the Canadian northwest. Most conservative esti- mates of their number place it at 150,000 for 1910. Some say as many as 250,O00 will cross. These are all expert farmers and their places in the United States are being filled by un- trained men from Europe and from the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly in agricultural importance and with in a few years the United States will have to call on the Dominion for wheat. Production of wheat in the United States is not keeping pace with the population. A tariff war would complicate the problem of get ting food. Even now Canadian farm CTS are getting higher prices for their cattle on the hoof and Canadian house. wives are paying less for meat in the butcher shops than farmers and house. wives are receiving and paying in the United States. The tariff on cattle and wheat must be removed as be. tween the two countries before long,"

son bitterness has been most frequent. ly observed in pasteurized and imper- fectly sterilized milk.
 The few remaining spores germ. mate, and as they are unhindered by the presence of tactic acid bacteria they soon reach unusual number and the bitter flavor Appears.
 Bitter milk may appear as an epi. demic, persisting day after day, and causing great trouble This may be due to some constant localized source of infection which adds each day un- usual numbers of bacteria to the milk
 In some cases it has been found that the udder of the COW was infect. ed. This should be determined by carefully cleaning the udders of all cows and milking from each quarter of the udder of each COW into fruit jars or bottles which have previously been cleaned with boiling water.
 The utensils, the milk room and the stable gradually become inoculated with these bacteria or their spores and each new lot of milk is thoroughly inoculated
 The bitter-milk bacteria may be one of the new forms. In this event if may be necessary, after thoroughly cleaning everything coming in contact with the milk. to introduce some good solr milk from neighborlng dairy.

Men seem to hold that whatever a friend does is necessarily right and that it is dishonorable beyond excuse for one friend to give evidence against another. The same principle is oper- ative in various fraternal or mutual benefit organizations, such as that ex- traordinary policemen's organization in New Jersey which maintains that one policeman ought to be ready to perjure himself to help another out of scrape. There is reason for think ing that a large share of encourage ment to evil deeds and of the immun- ity which their perpetrators enjoy may be attributed to this cause. Much is to be sacrificed to friendship, but justice is not one of the things It is not the office of friend to compound a felony.

OLD AGE PENSIONS IN FRANCE.

The French senate, a moderately progressive body, has just unanimous ly approved a pension bill which it had under consideration for two years. The bill, already passed by the cham Der, will affect about 17,000,000 per sons, is is estimated, and will apply to both sexes of wage earners, in cluding agricultural laborers and small tenant farmers. Railroad men, miners and seamen are the great classes eX cluded from its benefits, but only be- cause they are otherwise provided for English papers strongly commend the French scheme and declare it to be fairer and more statesmanlike than the British. It provides for contribu tiors to the pension fund by employ CTS, employees and the state respective. ly. The states contribution is equal to the sum of the other two contri- buttons. The full pension is limited to those who reach the age of 65, if they have paid for 30 years, but at 55 a smaller pension, to which the state contributes nothing, may be claimed. The annual pension under the sytem cannot exceed $S2.50 under the most favorable circumstances, but in France this will be sufficient to avert pauper- ism and misery in old age

Speaking of imports into the United States, there is one article which rep resents high value Three trains re- gently started from Seattle on the Pacific coast, for Paterson, N. J., which is pretty near the shores of the At lantic. Each train was loaded with silk for the mills at Paterson, and each cargo worth S1,000,000 or more. That was a bigger prize than train robbers would get if they were to hold up an express or palace car outfit, and it Is not strange that the goods were care fully guarded across the continent. And the trip was not without adven- lures. The trains were stalled by the heavy snow in the mountains and for a time there was much apprehension. The railroad officials rushed men to the blocked trains to protect them against possible looters, and it may be well imagined that relief was felt when the silk was delivered to the con- signees. The argosies of the old seafar- ing days which offered such tempta- tions to the pirates of the period were no more richly laden than those silk carrying freight trains.
