PRESIDENT DISTRESSED
Annoyed by Democratic Criticism in
The House.

ney of the House Committee on APP
preparations a letter expressing deep
resentment at the criticisms passed
by Democrats in the House debate
Thursday upon the travelling expens-
es of the President.
The President says he is especially
distressed at suggested reflections
on Southern hospitality
The Presidents Letter
The Presidents letter fol ows
The White House, Washington, May
81, 1910.
My Dear Mr. Tawney: ! am deep
ly grieved over the phase which the
discussion of the appropriation for
the travelling expense of the Presi-
dent took yesterday. | think II is a
legitimate argument in favor of such
an appropriation that Congressman
and many others press the acceptance
Of invitations to visit their sections
and districts, because the urgency Of
such requests indicates the opinion
on the part of the people that one Of
the duties of the President is to visit
the people in their homes
But the intimation or suggestion
that the acceptance by Congressman
of the Presidents invitation to travel
on the train with him In their re-
spectlye districts or states was a rea-
son why they should not vote their
free opinion on the question of such
an appropriation is to be a most pain
full one.
In travelling upon the train they
were not receiving my hospitality
they We're only making little more
elaborate the cordial we'come which
they as representatives of their dis
tricts wished to give.
The feature OF the discussion yes
terday which was especially distress
ing to me was a suggested reflection
on Southern hospitality. The intima-
ton that somewhere IN the South
board was charged has no foundation
In fact, and never heard II intimat-
ed until | saw II in the morning s
paper.
In all my experience, and have en-.
joyed the hospitality of many sections
and countries Of the world. | never
had a more cordial, generous. open
and lavish welcome than | had In the
Southern states during my trip, and
the slightest hint that puts me In the
attitude of a critic OF that hospitality
gives me great pain.
am going to take the liberty OF
making this letter TO YOU pubic.
Very sincerely yours,
William II. Taft.
To Hon. James A. Tawney. House OF
Representatives.

Thus goes down in the annals OF

auce Of the Capital City League with

and is looked upon as the only reason
able and logical result. From now on,
for this reason at least, ample oppOr-
tunity will be afforded for the thorough
trying out Of the plan which so many
of the amateur managers have advo-
Gated for the past three years. Every
feature has been worked into the new
constitution Of the amateur commission,

holding the directing positions feel sure
that every. expectation will be fulfilled

Hookworm Menacinq Cattle.

Cattle In the southern states are con-
siderably affected by the hookworm.
In South Carolina especially it is 4
serious pest, which often produces
death. s.. raE u
The disease comes On with slow
fever, diarrhea and loss Of appetite. 1t
soon becomes chronic, with constipa-
ton, emaciation and thinness Of blood.
Young cattle are more subject to it
than old ones. The worm is found
principally in the first part Of the
Small intestine and attacks the mucous
membrane with sharp teeth, sucking
blood from the wound. F
The full grown worm is of about the
thickness of d pin and from one-half to
five-eighths of an inch in length. Eggs
are deposited in the intestines and dis
charged with the faces. They seem to
hatch in the pasture grass, which they
climb, ready to be eaten by the cattle
and complete the circle Of their life.
The prospect for; cure Of the dis
ease is not hattering. Prevention Is
the main hope. Dry weather is de
structive to the, parasite. Rotation Of
crops also tends to destroy it. Manure
from the stalls should be :disinfected
and lowiand pastures should be avoid
ed. as the parasite rhrives best in
damp places. 525s5S. X

Results From Separator.

To get the best results from the sep
arator the Kansas experiment station
urges observance OF the three rules
which follow: First-.The speed of the
bowl has an influence on the cream.
A change in speed from one separa-
ton to another changes the per cent of
fat to the cream. Second-The tenn
perature Of the milk affects the cream.
If the milk is warm the cream will be
thicker than if it is cold. Third The
amount separated per hour is another
factor. This is especially important,
for If the milk Is unevenly fed into
the bowl the thickness of the crkam Is
vastly Influenced. The amount of wa
ter or skimmilk used to flush out the
bowl Will affect the quality OF the
cream. All these things tend to show,
that the separator must be handled
with care and good judgment.
