NURSERY STOCK AGENTS
Liable to Prosecution If Without Ii
cense, Says Attorney General.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
noticed IN your issue of Tuesday,
December 26, letter from Thaxter 81
Holt, in regard to the law compelling
agents selling nursery stock to take
out a license from the State before
doing business. In the letter it is
stated that the attorney general de-
clined to prosecute Thaxter & Hollis
statesmen who We're working without
license, and that because of this fact.
it seems evident that the attorney
general had but little confidence in the
validity of the law in question.
The statement is misleading.
was interviewed in regard to bringing
prosecution against agents selling
nursery stock without a license and I
presume the interview was in behalf
of Thaxter & Holt. although l am not
sure of that. l stated to the party in
terviewing me. that the attorney gem
eral had nothing to do with prosecut-
ing such cases and that | presumed
they would be taken up by the prose-
cutting attorneys of the various coun-
ties in which the offenSeS we're COM
nitted. l certainly did not intimate
any opinion as to the validity or con-
stitutionality of the law in question
for had not then, and have not since,
given that matter any thought and
have not had occasion to do SO.
/ should not take the bother to cor
rect this misunderstanding excepting
that to leave the matter as it is might
cause agents selling nursery stock to
feel at full liberty to work without
licenses, wnereas. of course, as the law
stands, any agent 50 working is liable
to prosecution.
Yours very truly.

SANITARY MILK.
Tho Necessity of tho Thorough
Cleansing of All Receptacles.

A glass bottle which has been absolute
ly cleaned should be a good receptacle
for good milk, but there is no doubt but
that where dealers have facilities for
cleaning, which are presumed to be thor
oughly used, IL is sometimes question
as TO the possibility of removing all the
Accommodations that may adhere to a bot
tie, from the fact of the milk in it liav-
ing been allowed to sour and then instead
of the bottle being at once thoroughly
cleaned 1t has been allowed to dry. If the
drying process is complete, the cleansing
process will be found difficult and there
is a great temptation OH the part OF
small and irresponsible dealers to use
bottles without proper cleansing; In fact,
it is stated that mikmen have been
known to fill bottles that they have TAX
en- up ON their route, that may or may
not have been cleaned. with milk from
their cans, which was taken out for de-
livery. This is very likely exceptional
but possible.
Experiments are being made with the
making of parafffn paper milk bottles
that can be used but once. These car
be produced inexpensively and will be alb
soiutely hygienic.
In a number of states laws have beer
passed doing away with the common Oh
public drinking cups. In some cases the
naraffin drinking cups have been substi
tuted and for penny a new cup can be
nrocured from which drinking water
from the cooler may be drawn. Wher;
these are found it is all right out TO oe
away with the public drinking cup whicn
water may be taken and not providihe
a substitute, depriving one greatly IL
need of water. might prove a hardship
and the remedy far worse than the dis
ease. There is not little danger OF toe
greatly magnifying the dangers from this
source while cleanliness is commendabie
and should be observed. Health Culture.

Our Navy in Second Place.
(New York Post.)

1t is a pity that Professor Munster
berg has not devised some accurate
machine for measuring the daily
fluctuations of national pride. Such
an emotional seismograph would have
registered last week sharp thrill of
patriotic satisfaction traversing the
country from Maine to Los Angeles
and from Puget Sound to Key West
For from Berlin comes the news that.
with the drafting of a reduced Ger
man naval budget for next year. the
United States leaps at once into sec
ond place among naval powers. 1t is
true that, after the Reichstag cleo
tions next month, supplementary
budget is expected. Nevertheless.
the fact stands that from December
II, 1911. to January Is, 1912, we shall
be the second naval power in the
world, and that our manifest destiny
whatever that may be is more mani
fest than ever. Who will be the sec
ond naval power after January 10, is
not certain Possibly Germany may
regain the lead till the Easter vaca-
tons; possibly a strike in the German
shipyards on May Day may once
more give us the aseendeney from
May l to May 10. On such delicate
adjustments does the balance of power
depend. The men who talk of peace
and arbitration are fools and dream
ers; but the men who decide the fate
of nations by matching 49S.200 tons of
var craft against 4S7,54o tons, and
two battleships one-fourth completed
against three cruisers five sixths com
pleted-sueh mathematician of bat
tie and slaughter are always practical
men.

The Poultry Yard.

Late matched pullets will come IN

You want water not quite 2oO ue-
erees hot to scald chicks Just right.
A man need not be an expert to be-
gin poultry culture, but he needs to
be more or less expert to succeed.
Many dealers object to eggs with
pale yolks When you find yours are
getting that way, put a little more
corn in the ration.
Eggs oyerwashed in water lose the
beautiful fresh appearance they have
when first laid Add bit OF vinegar
to the water and use as little water
as possible.
A bit of experience with damp
floors: The upper sash of the windows
were taken out and muslin placed
there instead and the dampness ems
tirely disappeared. The theory of
this seems to be that the moisture
rising escaped through the muslin, in
stead of remaining in the house.
There are many days in this month
when it is unfit for fowls to be outr
doors. For that reason they should
be supplied with good-szed house.
and the floor heavily Uttered so they
may exercise and keep in good health.
The premises must be Kept perfectly
clean. Filthy quarters breed disease,
and diseased poultry is not profitable.
Something queer about hens and
even chicks turning cannibals and eat
ing each other up alive. The best ex-
PLANTATION so far is that birds that do
this need more meat to eat. A bit of
scratch comes on some hen and the
rest see the red spot or the drop of
blood and out of curiosity pick it OFT.
That gives them taste OF the blood.

creature. If plenty of meat scraps is
given the chances are that Won never

Christmas.
lIndianapolis News.l

t1nulanapoiiS NeWS.D
We do not know whether we had a
sane Christmas or not 1t is to be
hoped that there was in it more sanity
than usual. 1t may be suggested
that the more widely the church idea
of Christmas prevails the more sensi
Bile will be our observance of the day.
For that idea is that Christmas is a
religious day, d sacred day. If that
is so its spirit ought to control in
everything that is done in connection
with it, even our shopping. People
will avoid. as far as they can, impos-
ing burdens on others. and will be
careful to refrain from making
burden of Christmas itself. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that many are rebelling
against the whole idea. Really what
they are fighting is, not Christmas.
but the secular abuse of ii.
1t is the same with our practice of
heaping gifts on those who do not
need them. and of giving only to those
who give to us. For this reduces the
transaction &c the mere business or
commercial level The Christmas
thought is in strongest conflict with
that idea. 1t is not mere sentiment
that prompts men to try to bring hap
piness into the lives of those who have
little of it. The motive is benevolence,
in the highest sense of the word.
Christianity teaches that those who
are blessed with this worlds goods are
in very truth debtors to the poor.
Thus we see that Christian giving is
among the sanest of things. SO it is
to be hoped that, in these particulars
at least, we have made an advance in
sanity
