breed, although some breeds prove
themselves more amendable to the in
fiuence 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 iocally-bred bulls.
The influence of an unsuitable bull
is very far-reaching, for his heifers do
not show of what they are capable
until three years after his introduc-
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 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.

TYPHOID FEVER FROM MILK
Or. Evans, Noted Authority on Pre-
ventivc Medicine, Tells Of Dam
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 WE'LL" 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 a 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
The farmer or mixers, any one who
has handled the can, the workers In
the factory, the milkmen in town. OF
any one who handles milk In the
household where 1t is used can be re
sponsible for it's infection with ty
phoid
A 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 usec
without heating
To heat milk put the bottle In 6
boiler of cold water and heat unit
bubbles are rising In the milk. Put
the milk in the refrigerator or cool 1,
gradually with faucet water. 1t should
be kept below SIS degrees.
Putting typhoid infected milk into
hot coffee will not kill the bacteria
and make the milk safe. The mill
cools the coffee The sides Of the cur
cool 1t more. Between these two the
temperature Is lowered to a point
where some OF the typhoid bacteria
survive.
IT is much safer to drink hot mill
In coffee than it 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
merc1al raw milk for several years

who drinks raw milk will get typhoif

COST OF MILK PRODUCTION
Result of Experiment by New Jersey
Station Shows Some Quite In
teresting Facts.

In 1909 the New Jersey experiment
station investigated with a desire only
to ascertain the facts, the cost of pro-
ducing a quart of milk, says the Amer
lean Agriculturist. It's herd of 81 head
averaged an annual yield of 1851
pounds, 4.26 per cent. butter fat,
against an annual yield of less than
$500 pounds for the average Pennsyl-
vania herd. Feed was bought by car
load for cash, against the purchase by
tons or less, on credit, by the aver
age farmer. The station buildings and
other equipment are not on an extrava-
giant scale, and do not unduly enhance
the cost. 1t was found that it cost re-
spectively 4.16 cents and 4.80 cents a
quart to produce milk at the barn. as
cordingly as cost was figured on the
actual expense of growing the feed
the farm produced on it's value in the
market.
The freight charges for delivering
milk to the city in iced cars raise the
above to 1855 and 5.37 cents a quart, re-
spectively. These data demonstrate
that cents quart is not an I'M
reasonable price, Or if unreasonable. it
is unreasonably low. The milk re-
ferred to was produced under condi-
tons no more exacting than the Phil
adelphia board Of health deems neces-
sary for the supply of that city. All or
nearly all Of it sold for six cents
a quart at the farm. the year round.
The cost in 1910 was as great or great
er, as is also indicated for 1911. Re-
ceiving such increased remuneration,
farmers should prepare to conform to
all reasonable demands Of the board
of health

sented to have the plea of the pack
ers for a writ of habeas corpus heard
on December before the entire
court
In the meantime the case Is set for
trial in Chicago, but Attorney John
Miller said that he surmised another
delay might be granted, in view of
the action Of Chief Justice White. Ii
the trial is not begun before the ap-
plication is filed with the supreme
court IL IS expected that a prompt
decision will be forthcoming in order
to expedite the hearing of the case.
