the farmer, who is at least as upright.

protests should be made against at
tributing the major part of the trou-
bic to him.
One never hears or reads anE Re
ports Of country children suffering or
dying from impure milk either on
dairy farms of other farms.
Milk is gathered up from the farms
, by large companies doing business III
or near cities They probably send
out their men With cans TO collect the
milk. The cans are not always clean
and the contents are emptled into
huge yats, the milk. all kinds, good,
bad and Indifferent, is dumped into
these watts together, from whence 1t Is
taken, poured into bottles and deliE-
cred 10 consumers.
Is there not g question as to the
milk losing some OF its purity, sweet
ness and freshness by this method OF
handling it:
4>ot only does milk lose sweetness
in its Journey to the city by change
from cans to yatS and again to bottles,
but preSerVatiyeS are occasionally used
which destroy the natural flavor and
are often q positive injury to those
who use such milk.
Should the farmer who rejoices in
his herd Of fine COWS, his cleanly
stables and careful attention to de-
tails be blamed if milk delivered IN
the morning often sourS before even
ing, even in the winter?
The writer Of this article once sold
milk to a creamery. The COW, a fine
Hereford, gave good, rich milk. Great
care was taken to have it properly
cooled so that the largest per cent or
butter fat might be obtained before
souring.
Day after day cans were brought
from the creamery SO filthy and sour
that they were unfit to receive what
had been 50 carefully guarded. When
demonstrating with the collector re-
garding the unclean cans he replied:
'.Oh, pour it in. That's all right, the
separator takes out everything. it even
takes out flies
milk generally becomes contaminated
fter leaving the farmers hands and
reaches the large milk trusts that COM
bine to deal cut what they label
'''pure country milk" and right here
with these trusts" whose principal
aim in life often is to make money
with the least expenditure Of capital,
at the expense Of child life and Of the
community at large, lies the trouble
instead OF at the door Of the farmer,
where it is too often placed.

Under the head, Horrors Other

Navy Journal calls attention Of the adj

factories and tenement houses. The

Journal to heart, says the New York
Press.
According to the former authority.
during 1907 there were 1.449 persons
killed and 1854 injured by confagra'
lions. In the cities of the United
States there are as fires to 1000 pop

European cities. Here Is chance to
do some good reform work in the anti
horror line. OF every 1000 men en-

In the matter of murders we enjoy
similarly striking pre-eminence
Chicago averages 11S year, Paris 10

are convicted and punished. In Ger

around under foot everywhere, "95
per cent of the murderers are brought

opportunity appears for crusade
