MENACE.

While shorteutting it across the
country recently, l came upon the
earcass of a horse lying in a stream
of running water. There can be little
doubt but that the horse was east in
there by the owner, as the easiest
wal of getting rid OF an unpleasant
task. The creek Is one of the
branches of the Nemaha and supplies
water to a large territory. Necessar-
iIy all the water below must be more
or less polluted through that one ear
cass. The offender may be ignorant,
or only thoughtless. Nevertheless, he
is grossly Indifferent to the welfare
of the man below him. There may
be no law that will apply to this
case but the dictates of ordinary de.
cency should safeguard tn community
against a danger SO real and grave.
We can never tell what we may be
passing on TO the man next to us.
Especially in the matter of pollut-
ing the public streams. Farmers
have a duty here, to one another and
to the public generally, which they
can not lightly pass by. Every farm
er should make it a sacred duty to
pass the waters crossing his land on,
at least as pure as he received them.

JUDGE LINDSEY.

Judge Lindsey, the pioneer in the
work of child saving, is having troub-
lie in Denver. When he began his
work he was the most popular man in
town. but since he is compelled to
run counter to the interests of cor
porate greed he has lost some of his
former prestige. Men in Denver would
rather see homes ruined and children
sent to he'll than change the city adj
ministration when that change means
financial loss to them.
Judge Lindsey may not be re-elect-
ed but his work will go on. BE it
said TO the shame of Denver, that
he who has done so much for God
and humanity; whose life has been
spent in doing good, and whose name
will be remembered and revered long
after the vampires who are opposing
him are forgotten, stands practically
alone today on the firing line of
this great conflict.
1t is sometimes hard work on the
firing line, and cold.

A A SPEECH.
A Native Porto Rican's Talk At a
Meeting of His Fellows.

I'VE, the Porto Ricans, have too
much false pride. We will not ar
ry a bundle on the street, if we are
able to hire a boy to carry it for us.
We never think of going into the
field to work. We are after clerk
ships or other work of that class.
The Americans came to Porto Rico
and bought our lands which we could
not make a living from and which
when the Americans first came here.
we would have been pleased to sell
for five dollars per acre.
They have taken these lands that
we thought had no value and on which
we could grow nothing and today they
have beautiful fruit groves, nice home
have carpets on the floors; linens on
dows. china for their tables and the
lands that we were willing to sell
for five dollars per acre are today
worth from fifty to n hundred and
fifty dollars per acre. How have they
done this? | will tell you. They
have used scientific methods and
their cultivation; have attended to
their places personally and have work
ed them with their own hands. They
are not too proud to get out and cul-
tivate the soil.
81 happened to be passing a few
days ago a grove which belongs to
an American doctor and | noticed
some one in the field blowing and
on approaching closer, | discovered
the doctor at the pillow handles plow-
ing his orchard with a pair of oxen
A few days later | was in San
Juan, and that same night I was at
a reception at the governors palace
and that same doctor whom l had
seen blowing a few days before was
at that reception with his long tail
coat on. We, if we are able to have
a long tail GOA and go to receptions
are looking for political positions.
Il have, on many occasions, been
passing the groves of the Americans
and l have alwaysnoticed the pref
ty homes and groves and see the
owners working out with the poems in
the hot sun, but in the evening if you
will follow these same Americans you
will find them in their comfortable
and beautiful homes or at the recep-
tions
Nov gentlemen, We find one of
the most important government posi-
tions on the island filled by the Amer
lean and yet a few days before his
appointment I was passing his place
and saw him in the same way l had
seen the doctor. He was out behind
a pair of mules working his grove.
Il tell you We have got TO learn
to cultivate our soil and be not
ashamed to do so before we can ex-
peet to make a success of it."

BURLINGTON ROUTE.
All Through Trains to Be Electric
Lighted.

In the history of American rail
roading no such extensive and costly
Improvements of coach lighting has
ever been attempted up to this time
as that which will be made effective
by the Burlington Route the first of
June.
On that date all of its through
trains will be electric lighted from
locomotive headlight to observation
platform. The most efficient electric
lighting system yet devised has been
adapted, namely, the dynamo system
With this system there is installed
in the baggage car of each train a
high-power dynamo which supplies
the current for the entire train. Or.
dinarily, when the dynamo car is de
tached, there is a distinct dimming
of the lights, but under the dynamo
system not only is enough current
generated to light the train when it
is in motion or standing still, but
enough surplus current is stored in
each individual car to brilliantly light
it for several hours without any dir
eet current from the dynamo. This
in itself is a big improvement over
other systems of car lighting.
With this great improvement, the
Burlington Route, which already is
u~nexcelled in it's equipment, dining
car service, regularity with which its
trains run ION time" and complete
block signal equipment will have pas
senger service as nearly perfect in
all details as it is possible to make it.

GOOD ROADS,.
Tecumseh Citizens Organize Good
Roads Association.

Several days ago the citizens of
Teedmseh got together and organi-
zed a good roads association. 1t is
expected that the county commissions
ers will cooperate with the ~associa-
ton in a concerted effort to improve
the public roads leading out from
Tecumseh. This is a most laudable
enterprise and should not only meet
with the heartiest support and en-
eouragement in the community, but
Should be emulated by Falls City
md other county seat towns.
The effort will be to drag syste-
m%atioally and scientifically the main
roaCs away from town. The latest
methods of road building will also be
employed TO put the roads in the
best possible condition to be adj
vantaged by the dragging. Every
one present signed the membership
roll and agreed to pay $500 to help
start the work.
When the people get together and
determine to have good roads, they
can have them. All that is now nee
essary is for the citizens of Tecum-
sch and the farmers to cooperate in
the work; stick together, and keep
pegging away and in a remarkably
short time, at a comparatively insig-
nificant extra expense, they will have
a system of roads over which they
may justly feel proud. There is no
occasion for putting up with road
conditions such as we have here a
big fraction of the year. A little eff
fort and planning, done at the prop
er time, would in time yield truly
magnificent returns. Let us have a
good roads association in Falls City.
And quickly too. This is a legitimat
field for the Commercial Club to pos
sesS.

BUILDING FOR MILK STORAGE
Should Be Free From All Objectionable
doors and Constructed to Keep
Cool and Clean.
CBy E. Fl. WEBSTER. DIRECTOR OF
KANSAS EXPERIMENT STATION

If the milk is placed in a cellar or
cave where there are ~decaying yege-
tables or fruit, it will quickly alb.
sorb the odors from them. Such
places are entirely unfit for the stor.
age of milk. The dairyman should
have a building, set apart from the
barns other places from which
Objectionable odors might come, for
the exclusive use Of the dairy. This
building need not be very large. but
must be constructed so that II can
easily be kept clean and cool. A
cement floor should be laid. as It Is
the easiest to clean, is cool and does
not rot from moisture. If the walls
are built of stone, brick or concrete.
so much the better, for such walls
keep out the heat.
Inc roof construction should be
such that it will effectually turn the
heat of the sun. If the roof is NOT
OIL concrete, it should be built double,
so that an air current will pass be-
tween the upper and lower parts.
Walls and ceilings should be covered
with cement plaster, whether wood
or stone is used in their construction.
h finish, If properly put on, is easy
to clean and does not readily become
affected with mold or decay.
Provision must be made for an
abundance of water, and the pumping
arrangement must be such that the
fresh water from the well or spring
will flow through the dairy house. It
should run into a tank built deem
enough to allow the complete sub.
merging of the milk and cream cans
The tank should have sufficient
width and length to hold all that it
may be necessary to use. A tank
built of concrete and finished with
a cement surface is the most n
ical in the long run, and is much
more satisfactory. Provision must
be made for draining it out for the
purpose of cleaning. Wooden tanks
are usually a source of trouble from
leaks and decay. Iron tanks do not
last long because they become rusty.

and take measures TO organize a

farmers sons and daughters in these

ness of our wi life as a farmers boy
Then there were no agricultural col

this paper when a boy, and the eX.
IRENE difficulty we had in persuad.
ing enough wealthy farmers to sub
scribe, so that we could make up a
club of ten and get a subscription for
ourselves free. There is no excuse
for any boy on a western farm not
learning more about agriculture in
one year than the boy sixty years age
could learn in ten; and with the OPP
po%rtunities now offered on every
hand, there is no excuse for any farm
girl not knowing how to keep house

DAIRY ES.

Don't try to dairy with beef cows.
Any good milk eows of any breed
are good property.
A good milk COW sells for more
than a corn-fat steer.
If there is no silage you should at
least provide a supply of roots.
Two or three good Jersey COWS are
worth a great deal on any farm.
It is we'll to let a COW have all the
hay she will consume without waste.
The heifer can begin to bring you
money when two years old. Let her
freshen at that age.
Good alfalfa hay for mich COWS is
worth very nearly as much, pound for
pound, as wheat bran.
The good dairy cow gives better re-
turns for the food consumed than any
other animal that We have on the
farm.
Remember the dairy COW must be
held up to her highest flow of milk.
it is hard to get her back if she once
falls off.
Some dairymen seem to enjoy an
unaccountable prejudice against the
detective work which can be done by
cow-testing associations.
Too many men are fooling with
dairying. Let's get down to business,
stop finding fault that IN returns are
not better and do something really
worth while.
The economy of a ration depends
upon the cost of producing a pound of
butter or a gallon of milk and not
upon the actual cost of the foods
actually being utilized.
The Falls City tribune., 1910-06-24
Help For The Boys And Girls.

We have realized for a long time
that if agriculture in the west is to
make rapid advances, we must inter
est the boys and girls. 1t is hard to
change the methods of the man past
middle age; but hard as it is, it has
been done many times during the past
few years. Just as the tWig is bent
the trees Inclined Therefore the
proper way is to get at the boys and
girls, interest them in up-to-date farm
ing in all the methods, and make
them really interested in farm life.
Both boys and girls work better in
groups than individually; this is hui
man nature.
The Department of Agriculture has
done a good thing. in issuing Bulletin
3S5, under the title of Boys and
Girls Agricultural Clubs" We would
like ii very much if every boy and
girl who reads this article would write
to the Department of Agriculture and
ask for this bulletin; then read it,
and as soon as possible get the boys
and girls together and organize the
clubs outlined in this bulletin.
The state of Nebraska has probab-
ly been doing more in this line than
almost any other state we know of.
They have developed what are known
as Nebraska Boys and Girls Associa-
tons, and have issued a bulletin (Se-
ries IL, No 12), which every farm
boy and girl in Nebraska should get.
Address State University, Lincoln,
Nebraska. After reading this bulletin
preparing the ground for corn, plant
ing it and cultivating it will not
eel half as much like drudgery as
it has in the past; particularly SO, as
there are a number of questions to
test the boys knowledge. If he can
answer these questions, which any
bright boy should be able to, it will
give him a genuine taste of up-to-date
agriculture.
When at the University of Nebraska
last winter one of Il special pleas
ures was to visit the meeting of the
womens' organizations of the state.
We are filled with admiration for the
noble work they are doing, and it
gives us pleasure TO notice hat the
Department of Public Instruction of
Lincoln has issued a course in cook
cry for Nebraska girls domestic sci
ence clubs, which can be had on ap-
plication to E. c. Bishop, Lincoln, Ne
braska. 1t would please us very much
if our readers in that state would
supply themselves with this bulletin

abundant supply of real nice hay will
be relished before the end of the
tedious journey and then, in extreme
cold weather, the sack and hay will
help to protect the animal when ex-

of securing the sack to the crate is

A PUBLIC CONSCIENCE.

What Falls City most lacks is a
clearly defined sense of the common
need. We have no common ideal of
the general good. This is a serious
lack and amounts to a want of public
spirit in the larger and truer sense.
The idea of sacrificing in the inter
est of the public good does not main
tain in any other sense. The prac-
tice is to push only such measures
us pay the pusher literally. In other
words, the politician is at his job for
the spoil. He is a CRATER and not a
public spirited citizen, such as he
usually poses as being. Real pro
gress is blood bought. and Falls City
will only then be able to take an adj
vance step when her better class of
citizens are ready and willing to
deny themselves in the city's inter
ests. We need men who have the
public veal sufficiently at heart to
be willing to suffer annoyance, dis
comfort, abuse and financial loss in
order to see the best interests of the
city advanced. We need not only
men of large calibre, but men of
strenuous mold. who possess neces-
sary fighting qualities. The peoples
cause calls for championing a com
mon consciousness must be develop.
