Cleanliness in
the Dairy.
BY r. c. Jones, Dairyman, Mon.
tana Agricultural College.

81 + j. + + + + + + i. i. i. i. i. + +
In recent years we have heard much
agitation in regard to the health OF
the nation, especially as related to the
food supply. Many health ordinances
have been passed in our cities. Large
sums of money have been expended in
improving water supplies and in per
fecting systems for the disposal OF
sewage and garbage. National and
state food laws have been enacted.
providing for inspection Of our meat
supply, prohibiting the use OF anti.
septics and preservatives in all foods.
and requiring proper labelling Of all
foods, drugs, and drinks.
Dairy products have not escaped
this legislation and 1t is perfectly
right that they should not for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First-Milk is an ideal food for hu.
man beings and for the lower forms
of organic life known as bacteria.
Second-Unless one is careful, Ger.
tain forms of these bacteria which are
known to produce disease in human
beings may gain access to the milk.
Third-Milk is more widely con
sumed than any other food, with the
possible exception Of bread.
Fourth-Milk forms almost the ex.
elusive diet of most infants and many
invalids.
Fifth-Dairy products are consumed
for the most part, In raw state and
without further preparation than they
receive in the stable or factory.
1t is, therefore, not too much to ask
that the dairyman be as careful in
the production Of dairy products as the
cook is in the production of pastries.
Milk as it is drawn from the udder
of a healthy animal is pure and ster'
lie, but in handling it becomes more
or less contaminated by dirt and bac'
terra. Dirt is unappetizing and out OF
place in milk. Bacteria are very close
ly associated with dirt and nearly al
ways gain access with it. While some
dirt can be removed by straining, bac
terra cannot, so that second strain
ing after COW puts her foot in the
pail does not repair the damage. Dirt
may come from the COW, the air of the
stable, the utensils, or the clothes

How Far Can You See?

What is the farthest limit to which
the human vision can reach? Power
In his book, 1.-THE Eye and Sight," gives
the ability to see the star Alcor, situat-
ed at the tail Of the Great Bear, as
the test. Indeed, the Arabs call it
the test star. It is most exceptional
to be able to see Jupiter's satellites
with the naked eye, though one or two
cases are recorded, the third satellite
being the most distinct. Peruvians are
said to be the longest sighted race on
earth. Humboldt records case where
these Indians perceived human fig
ure eighteen miles away, being able
to recognize that it was human and
clad in white. This is probably the
record for far sight.

SHlRKING JAIL WORK.
eidwelI, tho Forser, Was a Champion
at Malingering.

eidwelI, tho Forser, Was a Champion
at Malingering.
Malingering is common in jail, but
surely a case quoted from his own ex-
perience by DR.. Quinton, the late gov
ernor Of Holloway, In Crime and
Criminals Is q record. The hero"
was a violent prisoner who feigned
stiffness Of the index finger to avoid
oakum picking. He was so angry
when the finger was forcibly bent
that ION returning to his cell he
promptly placed the offending finger
in the hinges of his table, which was
attached to the cell wall, and violently
raised the leaf, with the result that
the finger was absolutely shattered
and had to be removed"
Another case even more remarkable
in its way was that of the notorious
American criminal Bidwell, who was
sentenced to penal servitude for life
| In connection with the Bank of Eng
land forgeries.
"He was In good health on convic-
ton, but never did any active work.
| Feigning loss of power in his legs, he
lay in bed from day to day and from
year to year, defying all efforts of
persuasion and resisting all unpleasant
coercive measures devised to make him
work. When saw him at Dartmoor at
the end of eight or nine years Of his SEN
tence long disuse Of his legs had rem
dered him almost cripple. The mus
cles were extremely wasted, and both
hip and knee joints were contracted
in state Of semiflexion, SO that he
lay doubled up in a bundle. Though
he was examined time after time by
| experts, no one succeeded in discover.
ing any organic disease or any cause
for his condition other than his own
firmly expressed determination never
to do days work for the British
government, threat which, believe,
he ultimately carried out"
About the middle Of the last cen
tury the power Of imprisoning a debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and it fills one with amazement to
think that system 30 ridiculous
should have continued as long as 1t
did. The three principal debtors prls-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compter. In the year 1859 there were
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The futility of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
in some Of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them

and hands Of the mixer. Bacteria, as
we have said, are very closely associ-
ated with dirt and after once gaining
access the conditions for their growth
are so good that they develop and null
tiply very rapidly.
The bacteria or germs in milk may
be divided into three classes. The
first contains great many species or
kinds that are perfectly harmless and
produce no change in milk. The sec
ond includes those which produce fer
mentations like the souring Of milk.
The third are those causing diseases
like tuberculosis, typhoid fever, etc.
In the past twenty years over one
hundred epidemics of disease have
been traced to milk alone. One-third
of all deaths of children are said to
be caused by bowel complaint. The
germs which cause this are often
found In milk. These germs can be
killed by boiling the milk, but this in
jures the flavor as we'll as the digesti-
bility Of the food For this reason an
ounce Of prevention is worth pound
of cure.
The following are the preventive
measures to use: In the first place,
keep the stable and cows clean. In
the second place, keep yourself clean.
In the third place, keep all utensils
clean. In the fourth place, keep ev-
erything clean. The first means not
simply scraping out the cutters once
a day. but at least twice a day, and
keeping the rest Of the stable clean
and sweet. It means thorough
scrubbing and disinfecting of the sta
BILE once or twice each year. 1t means
feeding the cows after instead of be-
fore milking, SO that the dust will
have time to settle before the next
milking. 1t means currying your cat
tie daily and wiping their udders and
tanks before milking.
The second preventive measure
means clean clothes and, especially
clean hands. The practice of milking
with wet hands is to be condemned,
for If there is any dirt on either the
udder or the hands it Is sure to be
washed into the milk.
The third factor in keeping milk
pure means not simply rinsing your
pals In the watering trough, but calls
for a thorough washing and scaldins
of them. The best practice is to rinse
the utensils first in lukewarm water
then wash them in hot water contain
ing some weak alkah, rinse and scald
thoroughly with live steam or scald
ing water, and finally, set in the sur

When a tailor puts you on the meas

door so that you can't get away and
another making book on the game,

Now, nobody can make any combi-
nation Of the foregoing figures which
will spell anything like a decent pair
Of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out to Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference to them In his later op-
erations. He knows the pants won't
fit, anyhow, so what's the use? If
you watch him you will discover that

board rule, with curve in the cor

not watching him he will probably
cut your pants by ear and will not
bother to use this implement, but If
you insist upon inspection he'll make
pretense Of scientific use of this In
strument, whose real nature or pur
will know.
What the tailor is thinking Of as he
begins to make chalk marks In q piece
Of blue paper, using this rule as a
straight edge, is the "joy ride" he is
going to have with Marie in his new
auto that evening. 1t makes no diff
ference to him whether the chalk slips
or not, nor is it important how far
along this or that angle he allows the
straight or curved line to run. He
knows they are not going to fit, any.

The tailor goes on making severa
cute little pictures on the blue paper

The Next Ten Yeara.

That greater freedom of trade, in q much broader sense than is signified by the term free trade" is going to be more dominant in American com merce during the next ten years is extremely probable, says Mark Sulli- van ;n Golfers. The tendency is likely to be toward the removal of artificial barriers from trade, and toward the destruction of those re straints on competition which have been fundamental in the growth of trusts during the past two decades. Public opinion is headed that way; the recent trust decisions have done much; the present activities of the attorney generals office at Washing ton will do more; a lower tarifT will help; most of all will be done by the simple workings of economic laws.

Prosecution of "Trusts.y

We may differ as to the question of free trade with foreign nations, but there can be no doubt of the desir- ability of a good deal freer trade among ourselves than we now enjoy. Greed has interposed many obstacles between the people and their source of supply. Too many men and organ izatioas take toll of life's necessities before they reach the consumer Con sumers, not being organized in their capacity as consumers, it is most diff fcult for them to protect themselves against extortion or to maintain their rights. Therefore, the government is under peculiar obligation to enforce any laws enacted for their proHection-
