While opposed to an occupation tax
on general principles, the Observer is
rather inclined to commend the Dali
las council for passing an ordinance
that will compel every business man
to contribute to the night watchman
and street sprinkling fund and thus
equallze the burden of expense among
those directly benefited. Heretofore,
a few enterprising merchants have
been obliged to carry the whole load
The only reasonable criticism of the
new tax measure that can be offered
is that it does not sufficiently discrim-
mate between the small business
houses, carrying light stocks of goods
and receiving a comparatively limited
patronage, and the larger concerns,
with their enormously valuable stocks
and enjoying business amounting to
thousands of dollars each month.
This objection, however, might be
urged against any form of taxation,
for we think all will agree that an
absolutely just and equitable assess
ment of property for taxable purposes
has never yet been made. Realizing,
therefore, that the council must deal
with conditions and not with theories,
it is probable that the business men of
Dallas will abide by the new law with
out complaint so long as the revenue
derived therefrom is sacredly used
for the purpose for which they were
given to understand the ordinance
was being passed.

and distribution of water, estimated
at $3.50 per acre.
Comparative Results.
From three cuttings of irrigated
clover 1912 tons were secured as COM
pared with 4.s tons from two cuttings
off nirrigated clover, or a gain of
5. .lf tons. This is an increase of 1873
per cent, due to the application of 9.9
acre inches of water, at a total annual
cost of $40 per acre. The clover was
weighed when partly cured. At $4.00
per ton the net profit due to this in
crease of yield would amount to $13.55
per acre, or 1885 per cent of the annual
cost BY gravity canal the net profit
due to irrigation could be increased to
1885 per acre, or 371 per cent of
the annual cost.
"By applying 5.35 acre inches of
water to potato crop. 140 bushels
of potatoes were secured, as compared
with 60 bushels per acre from SINH
larly situated unirrigated field This
gain of "a bushels per acre, or l150-
per cent, was secured at total an
nual cost for irrigation of $,56. At
so cents per bushel the net profit due
to irrigation amounted to $Se.45, or
656 per cent of the cost of producing
such results.
Increase of Land Values.
Accepting the above figures as a
correct index as to what can be ac-
complished in the Willamette Valley
through irrigation, it is easy to figure
how the farmer could well afford to
borrow, even at 10 per cent interest,
all the money to install an irrigation
system. The increase in land values
would more than offset such cost. AS
such information accumulates, and
with few successful projects con-
structed, it is easy to conceive such a
boom in irrigated lands in the Will
Iamette Valley that it's population will
be increased ten fold in the near flu
ture.
ut seems to me that the CONNER
cial organizations of the state could
lake up no line of promotion which
would yield greater returns in in
creased population, than by promot-
ng the idea of irrigation in this beau
.iful valley 1t has no greater popu-
alton per square mile than many dry
arming communities Of the arid re-
zion. Irrigation will therefore do as
much for us as 1t will in such COM

Urge Keeping Extra Train.

Patrons of the Northwestern rail
road on the Montfort division appear
ed before the railroad commission and
urged the continuance of the new train
recently put on that division.
For years the people on that line
found 1t convenient to come to Mad
ison on business. This action was a
rehearing of the petition of two
months ago. The railroad company
desires to discontinue the train. Su-
perintendent G. B. Villas of Baraboo
and Attorney w. G. Wheeler of Mil
waukee appeared for the company and
presented statistics on the passenger
traffic of the new train to show that
it was running at loss of about $40
a day. AS against this Attorney o. A.
Stolen Of Mount Horeb said the Off
Gals had not presented the freight
earnings of the train. He declared
the freight traffic of that division was
heavy and that extra freight trains
were frequently run. 1t could be made
profitable through freight, he de-
clared, and it might be possible to
take off one of the freights instead, If
necessary.

PAINTING Farm Machinery.

Iron or steel surfaces should be
carefully cleaned, by means of a steel
wire brush and emery paper, to in
sure the removal of all rust before
painting.
Paint generally should be applied
with a good round brush, and well
rubbed out. The rubbing out serves
to remove any bubbles of air, also the
film of air found on all surfaces; and
it insures a thorough incorporation Of
the paint with the surface, thus afford
ing better protection. The rusting OF
farm machinery Is no doubt largely
due to the fact that it is painted by
the dipping process. Air bubbles caus'
ing openings in the paint film, moist
ure enters and rusting begins; also
the paint not being cemented to the
surface by being well brushed out, Is
easily removed mechanically.

At this time of year, especial care
Is needed in the production of milk
Cor cheesemaking. If that farmer, who
hauled a canful of dirty milk to Wis
consin cheese factory yesterday,
could spend the day at the factory
and see how much trouble 1t caused
the cheesemaker, or could visit the
cheese buyers warehouse, when that
cheese arrived, and see how little it
weighed, what a small price it sold
for, how badly it smelled, and how it
bit the tongue and turned the stomach
Of the poor consumer who tried to eat
1t, he would be convinced that a lit
tie extra time and care is well worth
expanding in the effort to produce
clean milk on the farm, and to keep
1t clean until it reaches the cheese
factory.
Milk gets dirty, whenever the cows
are allowed to wander through a
slough or any other dirty place, get
ting their TANKS and udders wet and
muddy. Every hair on the cows belly
gathers thousands of little living
plants, of the kinds known as bacteria
and yeasts. On returning to the barn
yard, the COWS bring these germs of
evil home with them, and during the
milking, the dirt and germs are rub
bed off and fall into the milk in
countless numbers.
AS long as the milk is warm, these
grow and increase in numbers very
rapidly, and, although they grow more
slowly If the milk is cooled at once,
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1911-09-21

yet they start up their harmful work
again, as soon as the milk is heated
up in the cheese vat at the factory.
Then the milk has in this way be-
come badly infected with yeasts, the
cheese are likely to swell rapidly and
burst open, after a few days in the
curing room, as shown in the two
cheese at the right in the picture.
which are a total loss, so far as their
market value Is concerned. In this
manner, through dirty methods of
milk production on the farm, thou
sands of dollars are lost to Wiscon-
sin farmers every year.
A single can of dirty milk may in
feet all the milk in the cheese vat
and thus spoil the cheese on that day.
At the same time, the whey tank will
become infected and the farmers
milk cans will also become the grow
ing place for these germs, which can
then be removed only by the most
thorough washing and scalding of
the factory watts, whey tank, utensils
and all of the milk cans used by every
patron.
Fortunately, most Wisconsin farm
ers know these facts, and the en-
viable reputation which Wisconsin
enjoys as the leading cheese produc-
ing state is not likely to be lost. Ev'
cry factory patron should join with
the cheesemaker in insisting that only
clean milk shall be accepted at the
factory, and all unclean milk shall
be rejected and sent home.

MAKE CONCRETE WATER TANK
Directions for Making Large Recepta-
Gle That Is Not Apt to Crack
During Winter.

In reply to a request for directions
for making a concrete water tanks
about twelve feet long, three feet
wide and two and one-half feet deep,
the Breeders Gazette publishes the
following:
Excavate until solid bottom is
reached, or say twelve inches, and
fill in six inches with gravel or Gin
ders packed solidly. Then fill with
wet concrete to a depth of four
inches and on this place the forms.
The outside form should be perpen.
dicular, and the inside form ten inches
smaller on each side at the bottom
and five inches smaller on each side
at the top for tank two feet deep,
so that the wall will be five inches
thick at the top and ten inches at the
bottom. By making it Il this way it
Is not only stronger, but freezing in
winter will not be apt to crack it, as
the ice can expand upward.
The mixture may be made Of one
part cement. two of sand and four
of crushed stone, or if of gravel with
"GOub OhS bdAASA "a
cement to one yard of gravel. Mix
wet or sloppy and fill in at once
md all should be d"re before the
bottom is thoroughly set. OF course
the forms should be made tight and
well braced and aroune the top 1t
might be well to place two strands OF
large wire, say No or No. 9. Place
these about two inches from the top
and outside. After one day take out
the inside form and wash the inside
with a mixture of one part cement
and two of sand, spreading it on
thickly with whitewash brush.
Keep it covered from the hot sun until
filled with water which may be done
in two or three days.
The inlet and outlet pipes should
be put In place before placing the
bottom. A good way for the overflow
is to make 1t in two pieces of pipe, a
short piece with It's connection run
ming down into tile drain and it's
top, just level with the floor, then the
overflow pipe will screw into this and
be made as long as the depth of water
needed. 1t can be unscrewed to
drain out the tank. The outside form
had best be left on for a week or ten
days.
