Plan to Build Sample Roads.

Secretary 7. NJ. Sattler of the Mich
igan Good Roads association of Jack
son states the state highway depart.
ment has offered to build samples of
the different kinds of state reward
roads for the delegates at the coming
meeting at Lansing, August 81 and Sep
TENDER l to inspect. While the speak.
ers have not yet been secured, an eff
fort will be made to engage such men
as i. w. Page, good roads specialist
from the agricultural department at
Washington; N. p. Hull, master of the
state grange; State Highway Commits
sioner Ely, ex-State Highway Commits
sioner Earle, President Brown of the
State Automobile association, and q
representative of the Detroit Associa-
ton of Automobile Manufacturers.
a campaign is being planned for the
betterment of public highways in Mich
igan. Competent road builders will be
sent into every county, city and vii
lage to organize associations to build
good roads, asking each merchant to
pledge a certain amount for every mile
of good road built within ten miles of
his store; to secure similar pledge
from every automobile owner and also
from rural mail carriers.
1t is figured that by this method
good roads can be built so the farmer
will have to pay only about 20 per
cent. OF the cost, the balance being
paid by the state award and by the
State Good Roads association.

Mine Valuations Get Big Increase.


According to unofficial reports, the
assessed valuations of northern Mich
igan mining property will be boosted
as a result of the investigation made
by Prof. ]. r. Finley, who was en-
gagged by the state tax commission to
make a valuation Of the various prop
critics. 1t is said that Engineer Fin
ley will recommend that the valua-
tons Of the iron mines be increased
approximately S100,000,000. They are
now assessed at about $25,000,000, and
the new figures, it is said, place the
value at S125,0OO,0OO.
Such an increase in valuation would
be greater than ever made before on
any one class of property, and in case
the engineer boosts the iron mines
value four times, there will be hard
fight and protest before the state tax
commission and the state board of
equalization.
Mr.. Finley, who has been employed
by the public utilities commission of
New York, was engaged by the tax
commission under authority granted
by bill introduced by Senator White
at the last session.
1t is understood that while he rec
ommends a boost on practically every
iron property in the upper peninsula,
that he also recommends that In a
number of cases the valuations on
copper mines be reduced. The coal
mines of the state are also to come in
for a raise.

MILK DEALERS
SUFFER Loss
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE
LOST TO THE CITY PRODUCER
ON ACCOUNT OF WEATHER.
BULLETIN WILL BE ISSUED
Commissioner G. M. Dame Gives Some
Valuable Advice and Suggestions
on Care of the Cow-House-
wife Has Suffered.

Lansing-In bulletin which will
be issued within a few days by the
Michigan dairy and food department,
Commissioner G. M. Dame gives some
valuable advice and suggestions on
the care Of milk in hot weather as
follows:
THE abnormal hot weather in the
summer Of 1911 has already caused
the loss of thousands of dollars to the
city milk producer and condensery
patrons on account of sour milk In
addition the housewife has suffered
the loss of milk and the anxiety of
infantile diseases from the same
source. The milk distributor is like
wise sufferer from the same causes.
1t is the purpose of this article to
point out how these losses might be
avoided. The responsibility does not
lie with any one class; ignorance and
neglect or all combined make these
losses possible.
Let us get down to the funda-
mental principles as to the causes OF
sour milk. Sour milk is caused, to be
pain, ny ulrL ana warmth.
In the University of Michigan can
be found sample of milk ten years
old which Is still sweet. How was
this brought about? The milk was
absolutely clean. First, the cows I'D
der and teats were washed clean with
a disinfecting solution. Next, the
milk pail and mixers hands were
likewise treated, also his clothing. The
milk was placed in a sterilized glass
jar and Theoretically sealed and so
will keep an indefinite period. How
can we explain this? 1t has been
found that sour milk is caused by GER
tain bacteria which are on the cows
hair, on the teats and udder and on
the mixers hands and clothes, in the
dust in the air, in fact, they cling to
all substances. When they fall into
the milk they begin to breed and de-
velop Tactic acid which sours the milk.
The more dirt that gets in the milk
the more bacteria gets In. The more
bacteria gets IN the quicker the milk
will sour. 1t is necessary, however,
for milk to be warm. The warmer the
milk the quicker bacteria will multiply
and the quicker the milk will sour.
Kept under As degrees milk will not
sour as the Tactic acid bacteria will not
breed. The chemist has found out
these facts; how shall we put them to
practical use in the dairy?"

State Gains in Manufactures.

A preliminary ,atement Of the
general results of the thirteenth
United States census of manufactures
of the state of Michigan has been
issued by Census Director Durand.
1t includes a summary comparing the
figures for 1904 and 1909, by state
totals, prepared under the direction
of William Nj. Stuart, chief Stats
tician for manufactures, bureau of the
census.
The summary for the state shows
increases in all the items of the CEN
sus of 1909, as compared with that for
1904. These are exhibited. in per-
centage order, as follows:
Number of salaried officials and
clerks, rs per cent; capital, 70 per
cent; cost of materials used and
value of products, 60 per cent. each;
value added by manufacture, SO per
cent; salaries and wages, Sc per
cent; miscellaneous expenses, so per
cent; primary horse power, SO per
cent; average number of wage earn
ers, 80 per cent, and number of es-
adjustments, 23 per cent.
There were 9,159 manufacturing
establishments in 1909, and 7,446 in
1904, an increase Of 1,713, or % per
cent.
The capital invested, as reported
in 1909, was $3.50 $4,000, a gain Of
S246,053,O 900, or 70 per cent. over
1897 1894 900 in 1904. The average
capital per establishment was ap-
proximately $4,000 in 1909 and s45,-
600 in 1904. In this connection It
should be stated that in the census
schedule the inquiry concerning cap
ital invested calls for the total
amount both owned and borrowed
and invested in the business, but does
not include the value of rented prop
erty, plant, or equipment which was
employed in the conduct of the manu-
featuring enterprises.
The cost of materials used was
$36S, 900 in 1909, as against $780,
0S1,O 900 in 1904, an increase of $685..
531 900, or 60 per cent. The average
cost of materials per establishment
w1s approximately $4,000 in 1909 and
SCI, 900 in 1904. The cost OF mate
rails, however, does not include un-
used materials and supplies bought
either for speculation or for use dur
Ing a subsequent period
The value Of products was $685.
100000 in 1909 and $429,120,00O in
1904, an increase of 1856, 9S9, 900, or
GO per cent. The average per es-
adjustment was approximately $685.
600 in 1909 and $5S,000 in 1904.

Good Roads Men Are COMING.

Secretary NJ. F. Gray of the Ian
sing Business Mems association has
completed negotiations with Phillip T..
Colgrave of Hastings, president of the
Michigan State Good Roads associa-
ton, and has received the assurance
that the annual meeting Of that or
ganization will be held in Lansing
August 81 and September 1.
Several other cities were bidding
for the convention, which brings at
least GOO people here for two days,
but Lansing had the advantage mas
much as the state highway depart
ment is located in Lansing. The con-
vention will be held in representa-
tive hall, and some of the best author
tiles on road building from Ohio, Wis
consin and Indiana will be among the
speakers.
The state highway department will
give a practical demonstration Of
road building and maintenance, and
much valuable information will be
given to the various highway commits
sioners who are expected to attend
the convention. Inasmuch as the
Business Mems association was re-
CURED to guarantee music, programs,
etc., 1t will be necessary to solicit
funds among the merchants, but no
one will be asked to give any large
amount. At least 100 automobiles
have been promised for use of the
delegates during their stay in Lam
sing.
