Better Methods Needed.

Many dairy farmers are prosperous
and have established the fact that
the dairy industry can be made to
yield good profits. while others. who
seem TO have the same opportunities,
rail- 10 IND the profitable side. On
large proportion of dairy farms
many Of the fundamental principles
which should be observed in produc-
ing pure milk are almost entirely
overlooked. This is usually due to
lack of appreciation of their import
ance more than to intentional neglect.
In most cases bad conditions are
promptly improved when their dam
gers are known. Special knowledge
is as necessary in conducting a dairy
as in other farming occupations.
When one understands something OF
the science affecting dairying, the
changes in milk cease to be mys-
tel .ous. and the work connected with
the dairy, instead of being unprofir-
able, uncertain and monotonous. as
some consider it, may become profit
able, interesting and instructive.
The value of milk when it is de-
livered to the factory depends largely
upon the care it has received previous
to delivery, and its condition as well
as its fat content should influence the
price paid for it. Every dairyman
knows that the hGndling~of milk the
first few hours after il has come from
the COW has a great influence on it's
quality and the commercial value of
the products made from it. The care
or milk seems a simple matter, but
better methods in our dairies are of
the greatest Importance to the success
and reputation of American dairying.
1t is in the interest of every patron
of a creamery or cheese factory that
the milk used shall be the best and
purest that can be produced.
Anyone who delivers badly contain
mated milk to a creamery is standing
in his own light. His milk may spoil
the entire production of the day, and
thus decrease the returns to every
patron. Butter and cheese makers
should absolutely refuse to accept
milk that is tainted or unfit for use;
they must do this in justice to them
selves and to patrons who deliver
good milk. The attempt has some
times been made to estimate the
losses caused by taints or changes in
the milk due to neglect The express
sion pure milk" should not be taken
to mean simply milk having a normal
chemical composition, but milk free
from all unnecessary contamination;
the word pure" should be UNDER
stood in its broadest sense.-Weekly

Scalded Oats.

When oats are scalded at night and

make an agreeable change of :ood
from the regular diet. Twice a week
is sufficient to feed such food. Oats

DEATH BLOW TO NEAR BEER.
Writ Of Error Sustained Proof-Bur

Probably as far reaching and impor.
tant as any of those cases decided by
the Supreme Court Saturday was the
announcement In the case of Chas. N.
Fuller vs.. the City of Jackson, or il
other words, the near-beer cases.
which were decided On June 6, when
Justice Anderson handed down an
opinion In reversal, which had the i'm.
mediate effect of causing a general re.

1t was not intoxicating In its effect,
and that the burden of proof was on
the state to show that as thus dis
pensed the liquid did intOxicate, SO
long as the alcoholic constituent was
below the legal requirement, 2 per
cent.
The case came up again on a sug-
gestion Of error filed by Chief Justice
Mayes. AS pointed out by Judge
Mayes, there had evidently been some
misrepresentation Of the point raised in
the former opinion of the court, as it
was intended there to show that in the
TWO cases, one involving the d!spens-
ing OF a beverage known as malt ale,
which is subject to the federal internal
revenue tax, for the reason that It
contains malt, and malt in any quantity
brings it within the scope Of the gen.
eral prohibition statutes, and the other
governing the beverage styled as
"brewette," which contains 20 small

ed opinion Of the court concludes by
stating that in the first of the Fuller
cases, that specifying the sale OF malt
ale, the judgment Of the lower court
stands affirmed, and the former order
OF the supreme court vacated, and the
suggestion of error would be sustained.
The decree clarly means that all
themselves in the traffic are subject to
surveillance, and hat the burden OF
proof is reversed and must be shown
by them instead of the state, and
thereby hangs a sequel which is sub.
jeet to development, namely, the shut
ing down of the wholesale traffic nov
going on.
