Improving the Farm Home

Improving tnS z arm homo
That farm homes are often unsani
tary. and the scene OF illnesses such
as should be impossible in "the free,
invigorating air of the, country" is at
tributable, in probably the majority
OF instances, to the use Of defective
methods In the disposal Of the waste
and sewage Of the house. The
noisome cess-pool and the undrained
privy--cold, malodorous and soil-pol.
luting--make such large additions to
the rate of mortality as to rob the
country, in a measure, of it's natural
superiority over the town in the sta.
tistics of health
In this day of cheap inventions
such as have brought running wa
ter in the house," bathroom, the
drained kitchen sink, and the conven-
fences of the modern laundry, within
the reach of every fairly well-to-do
farmer-the presence of the little old
fashioned "out house" near his dwell
ing should be looked upon as a re-
proach.
Closets, sinks and tubs can now be
so connected with septic tanks as to
do away entirely with the unsanitary
conditions attendant on old methods
of disposing of sewage. The septic
tank brings the science of bacteriol-
ogy to the solution of the vexing
problem For it is shown that in
such a tank-properly constructed So
as to provide a limited amount of light
and air, certain degree of heat, and
a surface unbroken by currents-mil-
lions of these beneficent organisms
apply themselves so effectively to the
publication of it's contents that they
can be discharged into system of
tiled drains or into the soil through a
sand-tilter, with no risk Of dangerous
ly communicating the soil.
Various forms of these septic tanks,
adapted to farm homes and all COM
paratively inexpensive, are described
by Prof John T. Stewart in the Min
nesota Farmers Institute Annual for
1909, which will be sent to any per-
son applying on receipt of II cents

Names Of Alfalfa Growers Wanted

| Names Of Alfalfa Growers Wanted
A comparative study of alfalfa in
Minnesota, involving cooperative
work with farmers in representative
sections of the state, is being planned
by the Agricultural Division of the
Experiment Station. AS a prelimin-
airy step to this investigation, it is de-
sired to get in touch with all who are
at present raising alfalfa in Minneso-
ia, even though on small scale and
with those who have tried it with on
ly partial success or with complete
failure.
1t is hoped that each reader of this
notice will kindly send the names and
addresses of any who have had, to his
knowledge any experience with the
growing Of alfalfa in Minnesota, to A.

The selection of H. H. Dunn of AL
bert Lea as the republican candidate
for the speakership of the house. by a
vote of IS to 20 in the caucus held at
the capitol Monday night, brought the
speakership contest to close after
day full of activity on both sides.
Earlier in the day the county OBJ
tionists held a caucus, which was not
altogether harmonious. Several mem
hers asked to be released from their
pledges to- ]. A. A. Burnquist. This
was refused and the optionists went
solidly to their defeat.
Accepting the endorsement of the
caucus, Mr.. Dunn renewed his pledges
to be fair to all interests, declared
that he felt no bitterness over the
fight waged against him and urged all
members to feel free to come to him
at any time.
Mr.. Burnquist thanked his friends
for their support, declared that he
had entered the fight for a principle
and not from personal ambition, and
asserted that he would continue to
fight for that principle from the floor.
i The democratic caucus, held in the
senate chamber was largely informal.

Too Much Butter Fair

The motive which, above IN other
things, appealed to the Lawmakers OF
Minnesota. when they~enacted that
milk sold for food should contain not
less than threeand-ahalf per cent OF
butter-fat was the protection Of chill.
dren from the use Of impoverished
milk The popular idea has been
that, the richer the milk in butterfat,
the better ii is for the child There
We're some who claimed that the Min
nesota standard should be set even
higher.
There are some wise mothers. how
ever, who have learned that the milk
of the cows most priced in the dairy
is too rich to be fed, in it's natural
state, to young children: and that it
is better to dilute it, for their use.
with liberal amount-say one-ouar-
ter to one-half, or even three-fifths,-
of warm water.
The judgment of these mothers is
supported by the authority of T. L.
HACKER, Professor of Dairy Husband
ny and Animal Nutrition in the Min
nesota College of Agriculture, who de-
clares that milk of the standard now
required in this state is too rich for
the stomachs of children.
Prof. Hacker has arrived at this
conclusion as the result of a series of
observations on both children and
young animals, covering a long period
lie found, first, that children throye
better on milk containing but a COM
paratively small amount of butter-fat
than upon the richer" milk of the
pure-bred COWS at the Experiment
Station
While no one can be more jealous
than is Prof. Hacker in advocating
the breeding of cows capable of a
nigh production of milk rich in butter
fat, for the manufacture Of butter. he
thinks that mistake is made in feed
ing such rich milk, undiluted. to chill
dren. What is not best for calves can
hardly be considered best for chill
dren. He finds that if the calf of a
COW whose milk is very rich in butter
rat Is allowed to nurse at will. the
breeder is very likely to have very
bad case of indigestion on his hands
the next day, if he is not minus a calf.
1t would appear that the SURPRISING
richness OF the milk of certain breeds
or cattle is the result of gradual.
long-continued departure from natur-
al conditions, under which the milk.
While less valuable for butter-making
was on the whole better adapted to
the use OF growing children: and that
a return to those conditions might
therefore contribute something TO tha
cause Of health and the reduction of
ln1ant mortality. 1t is suggested. al
so, that if the attention now given to
securing ''three-and-a-half per cent
hutter-fat," in all milk sold to the
public, should be diverted to securing
greater purity, through scrupulous
cleanliness in all the operations of
the dairy, the gain to the children
would be further perceptible.-C. R.

Poll Taxes Close to $50, 900 Paid.

A special from Baton Rouge says:
Though returns of payment of poll
taxes in the parishes have not all
been received, it is certain that the
number is far in excess of that of
1909. The estimate based on re-
turns already in is 143, 1896.
In a few OF the parishes there is n
decrease, that of East Baton Rouge
being accounted for by the alleged
elimination of negro names, said to
have formed considerable part of
the poll taxes a year ago, and that
OF Caddo parish by the fact that n
year ago there were hon " contested
fights on over the liquor question,
and consequently practically the
whole voting strength of the parish
paid poll taxes. Most of the parish
rs show gains.

The State Board of Liquidation
held a meeting on Jan. 4th, and
passed upon five important sub
jects, ard the action of the Board
in every instance was unanimous.
First-The Board authorized
the Governor to borrow from the
State fiscal agent money sufficient
to meet the salary of Justice
Nichols in the event of his retire
ment from the State Supreme
bench. The last Legislature pro-
vided for the financing of the Su-
preme Court Justices after fifteen
years of service should they wish
to resign, but made no appropria-
ton.
Second-The Governor was au-
thorized to borrow q sum sufficient
to meet the salaries of two assist
ants to the Attorney General crea-
ted by the last General Assembly,
but which no appropriation was
made.
Third-The board authorized
the Governor to borrow $25, 900, or
SO much as would be needed to de-
fray the expenses of the case OF
the City of Shreveport VS.. the
Texas Railroad Commission In
what is known as the Texas rate
case hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Tie last
Legislature appropriated $4,000
for this case but Attorney General
Guion employed Luther NJ. Wal
ter of Chicago, whom the Shreve-
port Chamber of Commerce want
ed, and his services costing $lO,-
600, an extra appropriation had to
be made for the cost of the case.

Evidences of Agricultural Prosperity

Evidently the new order of ag-
ricultural development in Louisi-
ana is working splendidly for the
progress, prosperity and welfare
of all classes. The recent holiday
trade indicated two highly i'm
portant facts. That there existed
unusual prosperity indicated by
the volume Of business, and that
the cash system largely prevailed,
which proclaims that the farmers
have entered an era of greater in
dependence and freedom from the
credit system. Reports from all
over the State indicate that pur-
chasers have been more numerous
and goods of high grade have been
bought, showing a greater abund-
ance. The year 1911 opens under
more favorable auspices, and its
promises are plethorice for a sea-
son of still greater progress In ag-
ricultural aud material develop

The Old Age Pension Bill.


newspapers alike have recently
been criticising not the principle
involved in the pensions paid the
veterans of our wars, but the pen
sion roll which is in many respects
fraud, as it contains the names
OF many who were neither drafted
nor voluntarily enlisted, hence the
appropriation for pensi ion s
amounts to $780, 100000 forty-five
years after the close of the Civil
War. These papers will now have
additional ground for criticism in
the passage by the House of the
Sulloway old age pension bill
which, if it becomes law,
will greatly increase the annual
expenditures for pensions.
1t is a general measure grant
ing pensions ranging from Sl2 to
$50 month to all soldiers of sixty
two years or over who served nine
ty days in the Civil or sixty days
in the Mexican War; and, it is said
will add about S45,OOO,OOO year
to the roll, which would seemingly
bring the total up to over $780,
100000 this year, more by about
SAC, 000,0 900 than it has ever been
since 1898.
No one objects to the small PEN
sion-the mere pittance-which
the real veterlns of the wars or
their widows are receiving, but
there are reasons for believing that
the critics of the pension roll are
right when they assert that there
are not 92l, ZOO real veterans On
the roll, and that large number
are simply frauds whose claims
should be more closely scrutinized
than they have been. There is no
justification for the Sulloway old
age pension bill. 1t is nothing
more than vote-seeking measure,
and should be defeated. A num-
Der of Republican newspapers are
urging president Taft to veto it
should it be sent to him for his APP
proval, but it will never get
through the upper house of Con-
gress if the Democratic Senators
do their daty.
They have already had their at
tention called to the fact that they
will have to face as a legacy from
the Republicans a treasury deficit
which it is estimated will be about
$30,000,000 at the end of the pres
ent fiscal year in June next. But
In the event that the supreme
Court of the United States decides
that the corporation tax law is I'M
constitutional S25, 900, 900 already
collected will have to be returned,
and If the Sulloway bill carrying
S45, 100000 becomes a law the treas
ury deficit will be something more
than S100,000,000. Therefore, un-
less the Democratic Senators wish
to see their party heavily handi-
capped in the Sixty-second Con-
gress in its efforts to carry out a
policy of real economy they will
spare no efforts to defeat the Sui
loway bill, and as the session is a
