The Result is This

We are bringing you milk from high-bred
cows, fed ard tended under ideal conditions.
For convenience in shipping, we evaporate
two-tlirds of the water at low heat Moth

The milk as it comes to you is as thick as
thick cream. 1t has per cent butter fat.
If you reduce it with water to the richness
of milkman's milk the cost will figure about
six cents per quart.

Clean Methods

Keeping milk clean-that is,
free from germs-is the great
est of all the problems. No
ordinary dairy has solved it.
Our evaporating plants are
all built without wood. Every

ana care.
The evaporating is done in vacuum, so
that slight heat is sufficient.
Our milk comes from Holstein cows-the
famous breed whose milk is advised for chill
dren. The cows themselves, and every sur
rounding, are subject to rigid inspection.
Our plants are all located in the best dairy
ing districts, where the soil lies over gravel.
To the soil and drainage is due the grass
which makes these districts famous.

cream as you want it.
The milk is pure and sterile. While every
drop of raw milk contains myriads of germs,
there is not one in Van Camps.

is one OF the interesting points Of
the case--whether a body of water
otherwise navigable is prevented
from being so by distractions that
might be removed.
II will be also Insisted that the
state In the enactment OF It's land
laws did not contemplate land COW
cred by water. II viii be argued
that the policy of the state In grant
ing lands Is TO build up and settle
the country. TO place on the land
people TO clear II and Till the soil. and
that a grant giving one man private
dominion over a-body OF water must
have been void. The state does not
press this point against the Doherty
grants.
Another inslstence by the state is
that an actual survey of the land with
chains and pins, as required by law,
vas not made and could not have
been made in water OF that depth.
The defendants meet all these con
teniions by relying on their grants as
regular and insisting upon the fact
that the water Is not navigable.
Among the dispositions 20 be read

Two Great Waterfalls.

What is the true comparison be.
tween the power Of Niagara and the
Victoria falls in South Africa? The
answer is that the. flow at Niagara var
les between 100000 and $4,000. 900
gallons per minute; that at Victoria is
as low as about 100000 gallons in
August. The mean available drop at
Niagara is 100 feet and at Victoria $50
feet. Hence, while the minimum Nj
agara flow represents about 100000
horse power. the Victoria flow in Aug
ust represents only $4,000 horse pow
er, and accepting the statements of To-
cal authorities that in November the
flow at Victoria drops to only 100000
gallons per minute. the minimum
horse power there can be only about
one-tenth Of Niagara's minimum. The
maximum of Victoria is not given.
