The demand for pure milk, produced
under sanitary conditions, is con-
stantly increasing, and to produce
such milk 1t is necessary TO have
clean COWS kept in sanitary stalls.
That dairymen Of the state are reali.
zing the wisdom of constructing sani-
tary barns is shown by the many in
quiries for information on this sub
ject. This awakening among the
dairymen is in part an outcome of
the pure food laws which have been
enacted to meet the demand for pure
milk and its products.
Sanitary COW barns should contain
sanitary fastenings for securing the
COWS, but this does not necessarily
imply that such fastenings need be
patented. There seems to be a pre-.
vailing impression among dairymen
that a comfortable sanitary stall or
stanchion is an expensive factory
product, while the fact is that any
farmer who is handy with carpenters
tools can build a stall which will Sc
cure as good results as any patented
stall upon the market The stalls de-
scribed in this bulletin embody in
their construction all of the principles
found in any of the patented stalls and
the dairyman may easily choose a
stall among these types which will
meet the needs of the average dairy.
The average dairyman OF 20 years
ago gave the sanitary stall little con.
sideration and used any method of
building which best suited his indi-
vidual ideas. He cared little about
the condition of the COW at milking
time so long as she gave the milk.
The most of the old dairy barns are
so arranged that it is impossible to
keep cows clean in them.
The Model stall is a home made
product and was originated by ex-Gov.
w. D. Hoard. He has used this stall
in his own stables for several years
and finds it very satisfactory. 1t is
probably the nearest approach to a
perfect stall of any in use at the
present time. 1t is constructed as
shown in illustration, so as to force the
COW to have her hind feet between the
crossbar and gutter when standing
thus preventing the fouling of the
stall by her own droppings. When
lying down she is brought forward
and compelled to lie in front Of the

Senate ''Chair" Calls Himself to Order

ator Bacon was going to speak, was
engaged in conversation with his col
leagues. Senator Kean of New Jersey
was also talking to Senator Warren of
Wyoming. Senator Bacon wanted to
get the attention of the senator from
Vermont before speaking on his bill,
and hesitated a moment, which Sena-
tor Curtis took as a sign for him to
get busy. So he began pounding that
little marble cube until the senate
chamber fairly rang. BY the time he
had worn off a little sharp edge the
senator from Vermont sat up and took
notice, and Senator Kean Of New Jer-
sey woke up and returned to his seat.
Finally Senator Bacon, who was get
ting pretty hot under the collar and
pretty red in the neck and face, man
aged to make his voice heard. "Mr.
President" he said, 81 did not seek
the attention of the senator from New
Jersey. When you had secured the
attention Of the senator from Vermont
l was satisfied and was ready to pro-
ceed, but you kept on banging the
gavel so that it was impossible for
me to begin. now yield the floor"
Senator Curtis, who is nothing if not
polite, with a merry twinkle in his
black eyes, apologized for his undue
exertions with the ivory cube, and
said: The chair will now como to
order. The senator from Georgia is
recognized"

WASHINGTON.-EXperience under
w the family desertion and non
support law in Washington has proved
that 1t is possible to bring deserting
husbands to time and make them sup
port their families, however much
they may want to skip out and leave
wives and children to shift for them
selves.
Punishment in itself profits nobody.
The law aims not to punish bu. to Sc
cure support. The man decides
whether he will work In confinement
or out OF It, and Judge William H. De
Lacy of the juvenile court sees that he
does work in one way If he will not In
the other.
When a man brought up for non
support promises to furnish It he is
put on probation, and ordered to pay
a specified amount of his wages each
Saturday night at the police station
nearest his home. The sergeant turns
the money over to the juvenile court,
and then the wife gets 1t in full on
Monday morning, her pay day. The
money is pretty safe here, and the
plan heads off many a Saturday night
spree. The man is kept at work,
which is a mighty good thing Of itself,
and -he family is kept together.
Men who are not willing to furnish
support under this arrangement and
those who default in payment or de-
sert a second time are promptly sent
to the workhouse. There they are
made up into gangs and put to work
in Rock Creek park. where Mr.. Roose-

the hotel windows, the rest followed,
like flock of misguided sheep. Pell-

aeroplane landing on the Willard is
not in commission yet and the hotel
management objected strenuously to
any attempt of guests to enter by
means of the roof.
Accordingly, corps of hotel en-

who could be pressed into service,
made for the upper chambers of the
hostelry and swished and switched
the winged visitors out of doors, some
dead and some alive.

Then the composition Of the milk is

unishing Wife Deserters in Nations Capita

Welt when president used to take his
afternoon gallop. They have a hard
days work in the open air, with good
food, and for this tie law requires the
government to pay so cents day TO
the wives, as for any government en-
ploye. The work in the park would
cost $3.50 a day II not done by prison
ers. so one dollar is left to pay for
boarding and guarding the men, after
the wages have been taken out. Con-
gress appropriates $4,000 a year for
this purpose.
It pays TO do so. A man who can get
out at any time will not work long In
this way. Last year only one man out
of nine had to be sent to the work
house, and he got out after an average
of six weeks. The government paid
$3.50 for work, but the men outside
earned S3S,S19.65, which was collected
by the police and paid to the families
through the juvenile court
Beyond the money value Of the la
bor however, is the moral effect Of
the work and its compensation on the
man in his relations to his family. In
stead of escaping the punishment
which he deserves, and so falling to
realize that he has done wrong, the
issue is squarely made and the work
house sentence, If inflicted, reveals his
conduct to him in it's true character
Many men have reformed after this
experience, and It Is due in large part
to the compensation provided that the
Judge is able to inflict the punishment
without hesitation where he thinks it
necessary.
Judge DeLacy's execution of the law
is effective because it is certain. Fam.
lily desertion is a misdemeanor or a
felony in almost every state and is
punishable with hard labor in many.
But to punish the man in jail the Judge
must also punish his wife and children
by cutting off his wages.
