THE FALLACY OF
WASHING POWDERS
By MISS ALICE LOOMS
Hi,ton5in CsIlrgs of .Hgyfnh.re

Observation-Disclosures NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Until cooperative laundries become
general, laundering will be one of the
unavoidable labors in most homes.
That people are seeking to tighten the
labor is seen by the immense number
Of washing compounds on the market.
which is about equal to the number
Of cereal breakfast foods a few years
ago. These washing compounds give
more or less satisfaction to the user,
but are rarely worth the price paid
for them. Their efficiency depends
upon a variety of factors. Sometimes
1t is the soaking which the directions
require. Often paraffin is used as a
detergent. There is one pink wash
ing compound upon the market which
seems to be nothing more than col
ored paraffin. The directions require
the use of boiling water with it. The
results are satisfactory, but no more
satisfactory than with ordinary paraf-
fin, which costs possibly one-ffth as
much. Some of the compounds con-
tain powdered soap, and as soap
chips may be bought for four cents
a pound, they are not an expensive
ingredient. One compound that gives
good results contains paraffin, bluing
and enough free alkan TO take paint
OFF the wood. There is usually more
or less free alkan present, sometimes
in the form of sal soda or borax and
occasionally even I've. A few COM
pounds contain an insoluble material
which acts in the same way as brick
dust in securing knives. There is no
doubt but what the clothes become
clean when they are boiled up or
rubbed with such material. Any
housekeeper who has an abundance
of soap, parafin, bluing, sal soda,
borax and I've should be able to &C.
complish her washing as easily as
with the use of these washing COM
pounds, and at the same time should
use less strength than is used in the
process which sacrifices human labor
to prolong the life of clothes.

Rabies Outbreaks IN State.

Rabies Outbreaks In State.
DR.. A. H. Hartwig, state vet
erinarian, says there is prevs-
lence of rabies in the state and warns
those concerned not to allow such
cases to go far without proper action
to counteract it. Dogs with rabies, ne
says, will run for miles, biting animals
that come in their way and endanger-
ing human beings.
Doctor Hartwig reports considerable
rabies cases in Kewanee county, and
In Jefferson county between Fort At
kinson and Jefferson. 1t is advised
that such outbreaks be reported to
the local health officers as soon as OBJ
served, as well as notifying the state
live stock sanitary board.
Civil service examinations for assist
ant state veterinarians-forty po-
sitions and perhaps more-win be
held at county seats in the state on
August rs. This Office was estab-
lished by recent action of the legisla-
ture and has in view the application
of the tuberculin test in a more
scientific way and in wider areas than
in the past. In Polk county the ex-
animation will be held at st. Croix In
stead of the county seat, and will be
held at the following cities in addi-
ton to their county seats: Column
bus, Lancaster, Spring Green and
Waupun. The new position will af-
ford valuable experience for newly
graduated veterinarians and will add
to the professional wisdom Of the old
er practitioners, both Of which classes
Doctor Hartwig urges to take the ex-
aminations.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, 1 became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most Of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, 1 doctored with the best ply
sicians Of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which / did, tax
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment Go the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
1otice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was
yell again, and have not had a re-
turrence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. l have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases"
(Signed) A. G. Brandon, Attorney-at-
Law, Greenville, o., Jan. IL, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti-
cura," Dept. 3 K, Boston.

ruhercuIosis Patients NeqIected.

Out of more than 225 public hos
pitfalls for the insane, with a popula-
ton of fully 100000, only 20, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous inmates. and
this, too, in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this disease
is very high among this class of peo-
pie. Such is the substance of a state
ment made recently by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion Of tuberculosis. Seventy hos
pitfalls In 2S states, providing all told
about $3.50 beds for tuberculous in
sane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane ranges
from so to 200 per cent. higher than
among the general population.

Buttermakers to Meet In Milwaukee.

The Wisconsin Buttermakers' as
ssociation will hold its annual con-
vention in Milwaukee during the
international dairy show. This
was definitely determined at confer
ence between President Schulz, Sec
rotary George H Benkendorf and
Professor Moore of the University Of
Wisconsin. The selection Of Milwau-
kee as it's place Of meeting is big
boost for the dairy show. 1t means
that the largest state organization,
affiliated with the National Creamery
Buttermakers' association, will lend
all its influence to the international
exposition.
The dates probably will be the first
four days of the dairy show, October
10, II, IL and 10. The attendance,
according to officers, will be the
largest that has ever turned out at
an annual gathering, and Manager
Cannon expects more buttermakers
in the city during the four days of
the Wisconsin buttermakers' conven-
ton than attended the national
creamery buttermakers' convention
two years ago. The convention will
be held in Engelman hall.
An important feature of the butter
makers convention is the fact that
the Wisconsin butter and cheese
scoring exhibition will be held at the
same time and the international dairy
show association will award diplo-
mas to buttermakers scoring ninety
three or better during the exhibition.
Official entry blanks will be fur
nished for the dairy butter exhibition
by George H. Benkendorf of Madison.
Entries must be filed not later than
October 1, and each exhibitor is re-
quired to send in not less than four
pounds of butter, while exhibitors of
cheese are required to send 20 pounds
in each entry. The cheese exhibit
will include every variety made in
Wisconsin. To stimulate interest in
the production of more sanitary milk
and cream, gold and silver medals are
offered for market milk, market cream,
certified milk and cream and pasteur-
lied milk and cream.
The buttermakers' exhibit will be
placed in a monster refrigerator de-
partment, which will be especially
provided by the international associa-
tion.

Milk and cream are very often i'm
properly cared for on the farm. Cream
which has been kept in an unclean Gel
lar until almost stale is often taken to
the creamery and the butter maker
should make good butter from this.
Milk is too often almost sour when
it reaches the creamery or cheese fac
tory
No good butter or cheese can be
made from stale cream or milk which
is not fresh and sweet. If we farmers
would take better care of our milk
and cream before 1t Is taken to the
factory, the operator could make
better product. A better product
means better prices. If the operator
gets a better price for his article, he
can afford to pay a higher price for
milk or cream.
Milk and cream are food products.
They should be treated as such from
the time the milk is drawn from the
COW until the products are consumed.
There are two great factors in the
production of good milk or cream.
These are cleanliness and cold. Clean
Illness means to keep the dirt away
from everything that comes in contact
with milk or cream. Cleanliness
should be the watch word at every
step in the production and handling of
milk. If dirt falls into the milk pail
during the milking, the dirt must come
from the COW or from the hands and
clothes of the mixer The COW can
be easily cleaned. So can the hands
and clothes of the mixer. If the dirt
comes from the dust in the stables, all
dusty material can easily be removed
from the stable before milking. Dirt
aud dust are full of bacteria. If they
once get into the milk no amount of
straining will take them out. A large
number of bacteria in milk or cream
will soon spoil good product. No
body likes spoiled food. 1t isn't health
full nor is it palatable. Milk and cream
are foods. We drink the milk, we eat
the butter and cheese. We like the
cream I'm our coffee. We like to have
our food clean.
Cleanliness alone does not keep the
milk and cream good and sweet. Milk
and cream naturally have bacteria,

Avoid Disputation.

The disputatious person never
makes good friend. In friendship,
men look for peace and concord and
some measure of content There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention in the realm of the inner life
also. There, If anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over 1t.
It's chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh

which do not come from the dirt and
filth. These bacteria will cause the
milk to sour unless 1t is cooled and
kept cold until used.
Milk or cream, in order to keep well,
should be cooled at once after milking
or separating. To cool milk or cream
means to make them cold. 1t is not
sufficient to go through the motions
of cooling. If the can of milk or cream
is set into water, the water must be
cold. The contents Of the can must
be stirred frequently until the milk
or cream is as cold as the water on
the outside. Better still, every farm
can afford a milk cooler. AS soon
as a COW is MIXED, the milk can be
poured over the cooler before it flows
into the can. This cooler must be in
clean place. Every farmer can at
ford some kind of milk room sepa-
rate from the barn. This milk room
need not be an expensive affair. 1t
should be handy and made SO as to
keep the flies out The cellar Is no
place for milk. Milk soon takes odors
II Ol1 LILO dill MIN Will dh 0hhIIu al
odor will not make a good favored
butter or cheese.
Let us be more clean in handling
such an important food product as
milk and cream. Let us see that the
pals and Gems are properly washed
with hot water and inverted in the
open air, in the sunlight. Let us
clean the cows udder and tanks If
they are dirty, let us have clean hands
when milking. Let us remember that
milk is a food.
Let us be more careful with cooling
our milk and cream. If kept cold they
will not spoil until delivered to the
factory. If you have great distance
to go, a wet blanket thrown over the
cans on the wagon will prevent the
hot sun from warming the milk. You
must deliver a clean, cold, sweet milk
and cream to the factory and then you
may expect to have good butter and
cheese. If we, as farmers, do our part
in furnishing good clean milk and
cream, we can demand that the opera
tor of the factory do his part also
Let us cooperate with our cheese
maker or butter-maker and see if we
all can make more money.

Loss Due to Milk Fever
and Its Prevention
By PROFESSOR A. C. BAER
H1seonan CeNsgs Of Agrinlture

rNXMNNNMNN NM.NNNXNXNSNNx
Milk fever is a disease which oc-
ours in the COW just before, at the
time, or soon after calving. 1t seldom
or never attacks the heifer or the old
COW, but it usually attacks the COW in
the prime of life, which has calved
with ease often after her third to
fifth calf Almost invariably the.
hearty feeder. heavy milk-producer or
the oveTfed COW in good flesh is most
easily affected 1t is largely disease
of the dairy breeds and the heavy
milk producers of the beef breeds.
Weather conditions seem to play lit
tie or no part in causing milk fever.
We have seen it in COWS at pasture
in the middle of summer as we'll as
In closely housed animals in zero
weather Several very plausible
theories have been advanced in re-
gard to the cause OF the disease. Some
veterinarians hold that the condition
is largely an affection of the brain
and spinal cord Others say that the
womb is the chief seat of the trouble.
Still others, among whom is included
Schmidt of Denmark, the introducer
of our present methods of treatment,
claim that the first milk In the udder
gives rise to certain poisons. These
nelson's, absorbed into the blood, &C
cE,nulate in the brain and spinal cord,
causing the paralysis characteristic of
the disease. The theory lately brought
forth, that milk fever is due to lack
of blood in the brain on account of
so much being required In the udder
at this time. is based upon the fact
that relief and cure is apparently
brought about by an equalization of
the blood pressure. This is done by
forcing the blood away from the I'D
der by means of specially construct
ed air-pump.
Many cases can be prevented by
proper handling. AS precautionary
measures, it is advisable to cut down
the feed of all COWS in good condition
a week before calving. Place them
on a mildly laxative, easily digested
diet. Sudden change of feed is to be
avoided, as it may lead to harmful re-
suits. A handful of oil meal is a
splendid addition to the feed of cows
Tor two weeks before they freshen.
Give this amount in mash once a
day. A gentle physic in the form of
~ pounds of Epson or Glauber salts
completely dissolved in about one
quart water and given as drench, is
recommended few hours before de-
livery. It Is advisable 30 draw little

To Fix Up the State Accounts.

Peter White of Chicago, an account
ing expert, has been engaged by the
state board of ptblic affairs to advise
with the board in placing Wisconsin's
state accounts on permanently
stable and uniform basis.
Governor McGovern, in imparting
this information, spoke appreciatively
of Mr.. Whites superior standing and
of what the board hopes to do with
his aid.
At this meeting the board will audit
the accounts of the University of Wis
consin, the state normal schools and
the state board of control and take up
plans for a general audit of state
branches.
The question of immigration, with
view to more rapid settlement of
undeveloped lands, will be considered.
The whole program outlined in the
act creating the board cannot be taken
up at once, but the board will take
up one thing at a time and do each
as effectively as possible. The board
is limited to $4,000 for the biennial
period.
Mr. White was engaged by the joint
finance committee of the last legisla-
ture in devising new financial sys-
tenn for the state and is therefore
familiar with the problem facing the
board of public affairs.
