breed, although some breeds prove
themselves more amendable to the in
fuence of selection than others.
Dairy farmers are fully alive to the
Importance of heredity In this respect.
and although they favor cattle OF GER
tain breeds, they fight shy of cattle OF
those breeds from pedigree herds.
This is because they have found that
pedigree bulls in many instances get
calves far superior in dairy quality to
the calves of locally-bred bulls.
The influence of an unsuitable bull
is very far-reaching, for his heife-s do
not show of what they are capable
until three years after his introduce
ton.
During these three years, that bull.
If he is wrong one, will have been
destroying the dairy character that
probably took many years to estab-
lish.
The reason why pedigree bulls in
the past have failed as popular sires
in the dairy herds is TO De attributed
to a great extent to the cattleshows.
Breeders of bulls for sale, naturally
look to the show yards for publicity
and success to bring their cattle un-
der the notice of the buyers.
Bulls of dairy strains at one year
old, the usual age for exhibiting, do
not fill the eye with the same effect
as the beef type. so they do not ap-
pear in the prize list and are branded
as inferior accordingly.

GOOD PLACE FOR SEPARATOR
Room With Cement Floor and PIas-
tered Walls In Some Part Of
Barn Is Convenient.

Just where to place cream separa-
tor for convenient use Is sometimes a
question. Convenience requires that
the place be in or near the barn.
though 1t is sometimes placed In the
kitchen or some portion of the home
building.
A room with cement floor and
plastered walls can be constructed in
some part Of the barn where 1t will
be convenient and more sanitary than
II placed In the kitchen or in
any open portion of the barn where
It is likely to be affected by dust and
odors. This room should have a water
system and proper drainage, so that
1t may be kept clean and swept all the
time.
The work necessary In preparing
this room Is not expensive, nor does
1t require expert help, but such a
room in some locality is absolutely
necessary for the production of clean
milk products and in lessening the
work Of the dairy. Care in handling
the milk and plenty of hot water in
cleaning the vessels will remove very
many Of the criticisms that are made
against the farm dairyman.

w. L. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller. which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
| favor. writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big. perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all. but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place OF the Sherman law II is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
In this country who do an interstate
commerce business
The law should be made SO clear,
plain and definite that II could not be
misunderstood II should require al
capital TO be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given TO the
public and certified by public ac-
countant. There should be board
OF examiners in each state TO look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
uonal banks are watched by the ma
uonal government. They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex-
anime the records OF all the direc-
torates of these companies.

TYPHOID FEVER FROM MILK
Or. Evans, Noted Authority on Pre-
ventlvo Medicine, Tells Of Dan
gers In Bacteria.

DR.. w. a. Evans. the greatest au-
thority on preventive medicine in the
country. writing for the Chicago Trib-
une on How to Keep Well" states
that during August. September and
October there is greater danger OF
contracting typhoid fever than any
other time of the year.
He says those who escape until No
vember LIST will be fairly safe.
Typhoid is bacterial disease. the
bacteria being taken into the system
with food and water. II these are
made safe there is no danger from
the fever.
The most important article of food
from the typhoid standpoint is milk.
Typhoid gets into milk from the
hands of people who handle milk.
has handled the can. the workers in
the factory, the milkmen in town. or
any one who handles milk in the
household where 1t is used can be re-
sponsible for its infection with ty-
phoid.
typhoid water supply on the farm
would spread it. not through infec-
ton of the cows drinking the water.
but through washing the cans with It..
If milk is properly pasteurized 1t is
safe from infection by any one who
handles 1t prior to the time OF Pas
teurization.
Raw milk should never be used
without heating.
To heat milk put the bottle in a
boiler OF cold water and heat until
bubbles are rising in the milk. Put
the milk in the refrigerator or cool II
gradually with faucet water. 1t should
be kept below SO degrees.
Putting typhoid infected milk into
hot coffee will not kill the bacteria
and make the milk safe. The milk
cools the coffee. The sides of the cup
cool 1t more. Between these two the
temperature is lowered to a point
where some OF the typhoid bacteria
survive.
1t is much safer to drink hot milk
In coffee than 1t is to use cream. Cot
fee and hot milk is somewhat easier
on the digestion than is coffee and
cream.
1t will not be safe to drink COM
mercial raw milk for several years
yet. | do not meah that every man
who drinks raw milk will get typhoid

One word l should like to rub out of
the vocabulary used by human beings, one
toward another. 1t is the word "don't."
Looking back over'a somewhat full and
varied experience, l can say that in my
judgment didactic prohibition issued from
soul to soul, for every ounce of good it
has done, has made pound of harm.
Don't" is the stupidest, most brainless
and LATEST of all parental terms. To tell
a child what to do requires thought, inves-
tigation, interest. To tell anyone what not
to do requires no cerebration.
"Don't' is the language of annoyance.

VALUE OF A PURE-BRED SIRE
Pedigree Bulls Get Calves Far Su-
perior in Dairy Quality to Those
of Local Animals.
CBy w. r. GILBERT1

CBy w. r. CELEBRITY
Although the general run of dairy
COWS are of no definite breeding, they
are not necessarily the worse for that.
Good dairy quality is a natural char
acteristic which is hereditary to an
eminent degree. A long line OF an
cestors of dairy character on both
sides of the family tree is quite suf-
ficient to insure good dairy quality OF
the offspring.
Dairy character has been developed
by careful selection. 1t is not a quail
lty originally inherent in any one
