pecially handsome with its furnish
ings in mission style. The manager,
James 7. Maynard, is a practical no.

have just been made public. The birds
used were mature hens, large and fair
ly fat, and were killed and dressed by
the regular employees Of poultry
packing house-bled through the mouth
and dry plcked-and were shipped in
the usual packages In carlot Of
dressed poultry. They were received
by the wholesaler, were handled with
his stock. went TO the retailer when
he purchased fowls from the same car
lot and remained In his shop for the
period required to effect their sale. A
part of the fowls were full drawn.
some wire drawn, others Boston
draw and some not drawn at all.
When the data were gathered 1t was
found that the undrawn poultry kept
best-decomposed more slowly; that
the full drawn, with bead and feet
removed. decomposed most rapidly.
while the two other classes stood about
midway between these. These findings
will tend to settle point in the public

A Wisconsin reader makes inquiry as
to the right way to dip cattle. While
spraying thoroughly with disinfect-
ing solution Of the proper strength will
give good results, the surest and safest
way Is sousing the animals In tank
Of the solution. This should be deep
enough so that they will have to swim
at the middle and should be provided
with sloping approaches for ingress
and exit. 1t is customary at the cen
trail stockyards. where thousands of
animals are given the dip daily, to
drive them through the tank In single
nle and as they reach the middle for
an attendant stationed above to give
the head a downward shove, so that
the animal will be completely sub
merged. There are several good dips
on the market. put up In cans of sew

PROF. KOCH'S Lecture
Teacher of the University at Grand
Forks Delivers Interesting Ad-
dress on Shakespeare.

Prof. f. Fl. Koch of the University
OF North Dakota of Grand Forks was
the speaker last night at the Grand
theatre lecture course and he had a
large audience. He took for his sub
ject Shakespeare's Comedies, and said
that the authors name had withstoOd
the storm of criticism of centuries
He said that Shakespeare represent
ed the best English literature and lot
tiers and that his plays had been pro-
duced in the jungles Of India, in the
deserts of Egypt by the Arabs, and
that they had been translated in every
known tongue.
He said that Germany had more pro-
auctions of this celebrated author than
the United States and America to-
gether, but that two-thirds OF those
who visited the birthplace of the han
of Avon were Americans. He stated
that it would be much better IL instead
Of spending their money for seeing his
birthplace they spent 1t in study ing
his works. He said the slums of New
York were more enthusiastic over the
Shakespearian plays than the -four
hundred"
During his lecture Professor Koch
gave several readings that were
heartily enjoyed.
