MILKMEN FORCED OUT OF
BUSINESS.
Representative of State Board OF
Health Stirs Traverse City.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.-At the
suggestion of prominent citizens who
have been trying to get rid Of unsani-
tary conditions, the State Board OF
Health has ordered sanitary sur
vey to be made Of this city. Appeals
10 the local health officers have fail
ed to bring results. All Objectionable
places will now be cleaned up and the
necessary sewer connections made.
A representative Of the State Pure
Food Department has made visit to
this city and local milkmen are in a
panic. He has condemned several
dairies and has refused TO let owners
Of cows sell milk unless they con-
form strictly to the State law. One
firm went out of business and three
others are expected to follow. Fail
ure to keep milk at temperature oil
go degrees when delivered TO custom
ers and lack Of bottling facilities are
the causes Of trouble.

GETTING READY
FOR APPLE SHOW
Development Bureau Is Planning ar
Excellent Display For Annual
Affair.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. = The
Western Michigan Development Blu
reau has secured Clarence III. Salter
who has been specializing in chem
istry at Olivet College the past year
as chemist for preparing the exhibit
of fruit on the branch for the apple
show 10 be held this fall. This will
be the second year that Mr.. Salter
has had charge of this preserving
work 1t is the plan OF the Bureau
to secure larger and better specimens
this season than in any of the years
gone by that its display of fruits may
surpass anything yet used for the adj
vertisement Of the Michigan fruit
growing industry.
1t has been found that the solutions
that are used in the West will not do
in Michigan because Michigan fruits
are so much richer in juice than the
Western fruits. In consequence at
ferent chemicals have to be used for
Michigan fruits.
The first problem in preserving ant
er the selection OF the best speci-
mems has been made is the use or a
chemical which will set the color The
second problem is that Of introducing
poison that will kill all germ life and
prevent disintegraton, and the third
problem is to get the fruit into So
luton that will show it to the best adj
vantage.
The Western Michigan Develop
ment Bureau is the only organization
in the State, which, SO far, has sue
ceeded in putting up raw fruits so
that they hold their color and form
and make an attractive appearance.
This will be the fourth summer that
this work has been carried on by the
Bureau. In consequence of its three
seasons of experience the Bureau mas
accumulated considerable knowledge
as to the secret of making fine dis
plays. 1t is in frequent receb 1t of re-
quests from boards of trade and edu-
cational institutions for its formula
for fruit preserving, and these formu-
las it gives out with pleasure, but
at the same time says that experience
counts for more than the formula 1t
advises all who propose to attempt
the putting up of fruit for displays to
experiment freely and continuously.
The plans for the present season
call for the preserving OF strawber-
ries, raspberres, currants, gooseber-
ries, cherries, plums, pears, peaches
and apples.

During the Quarter Just Ended More
Than 500 Cases Were Reported
to the Attorney General for
Prosecution.
FIRST FLOOR PLAN.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The vig-
orous activity in the enforcement of
the food and drugs act displayed dur
ing the quarter just ended has been
the subject of much comment by the
Secretary OF Agriculture.
In the months Of April, May and
June, 1912, more than 500 cases were
reported to the Attorney General for
prosecution, including both criminal
prosecutions and recommendation
for the seizure OF adulterated and
msbranded foods and drugs. This
number is ne-eighth of the total
sumber OF cases reported for prose
cution since the act became effective
on January |, 1907, is double the num-
Der reported by the Secretary to the
Attorney General during April, May
and June, 1911, and exceeds by more
than 25 per cent. the number OF cases
reported during the first quarter OF
1912. The number Of cases reported
was SO large that il has been found
necessary for the United States at
.orneys in some of the large judicial
districts to make up special calendars
of food and drug cases and set aside
several weeks exclusively for the
trial Of such cases.
Secretary Wilson commended many
of the Un1ed States attorneys for
their diligence in prosecuting the
cases. The maximum penalty allow
ed for first offenses, that is, $500
line, has been imposed on several de-
PENDANTS The first Jail sentences
lnder this statute were imposed dur
ing this quarter Several hundred
consignments Of food stuffs found TO
contain filthy. decomposed or putrid
material have been condemned and
destroyed after seizure Noteworthy
among cases OF this class was the
proceedings for the condemnation Of
about 1000 cases Of sardines found on
examination by the Bureau OF Chem
istry to consist wholly or in part Of
filthy, decomposed and putrid sub
Stances In this case, after a warm

STATE NEWS
NEGRO AND DOG IN CITY WA
TER PIPE.
Bodies Found at Benton Harbor Had
Been in Water Two Years.

BENTON HARBOR-The body Of
negro and his Newfoundland dog,
drowned in the St. Joseph River two
years ago are the source of the ty-
phoid epidemic that has been raging
here. The State Board of Health
made the discovery during an investi-
CATION undertaken after 1000 people
had been afflicted with the disease.
The bodies were found according to
report beneath the mouth Of the in
take pipe near the middle of the
stream. They are believed to have
been drawn there by the suction of
the water, probably shortly after the
drowning. Several score have died
from typhoid fever since the epidemic
started.
The negro and his dog came here
with Ringing Brothers circus. The
negro went TO the river for a swim
between the afternoon and evening
performances and Tell from the diving
board into the water, being taken
with cramps. The faithful dog went
to the rescue, but the negro grasped
il SO tightly that both went to the
bottom.
So far as the circus people were
concerned, no effort was made TO re-
cover the bodies. The city authori-
ties made some effort, but, failing, the
negro and the dog were soon forgot
ten. 1t was reasoned that the pair
had been caught in an undercurrent
and carried down the stream.
Then came the typhoid epidemic,
and despite all efforts il would not
recede. Authorities insisted that the
water was pure, but encouraged the
people to boil it, which finally arous-
ed some suspicion and the situation
was brought to the attention OF the
State Board Of Health.

well To the front among the big agri-
cultural states.
In ten years Michigan has ad-
vanced from fourth TO first place in
the production of rye; from third to
second place for potatoes; from sixth
to second place for apples; from
eighth to third place for pears; from
fifth 10 third place for grapes; from
sixth to fourth place for cherries, and
from seventh to fifth place for
peaches.
Michigan's ranking among the
states for the production of the more
important farm and orchard crops. &C
cording to the figures being issued
by the Census Bureau, is as follows:
Rye-Michigan ranks first.
Potatoes, Apples-Second.
Buckwheat. Grapes, Pears-Third
Cherries-Fourth.
Peaches-Fifth
Plums-Eighth.
Oats-Ninth.
Barley-Eleventh
Wheat-Twelfth.
Hay and Forage-Thirteenth.
Corn-Fourteenth
The meaning Of the above figures
is that not less than thirtyfour
states produce less of each one Of
the above mentioned crops than does
Michigan.
Michigan stands fifteenth among
the states in the value of its farm
lands, sixteenth in the number Of
farms; and it is eighteenth in the
average per acre value Of its farm
property.

MARKET
REPORT

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-New
potatoes advanced 25 cent? per barrel
last week and the market was very
strong. Many Of the dealers have
not made any money handling the
new crop OF Southerne spuds because
of the sharp rivalry and price cut
ting. The getting together on a fix
ed price will steady the potato mar
ket. The Southern crop is rapidly
passing out OF the growers hands;
when the supply is exhausted home
grown must be relied on to furnish
the supply. A small offering of home
grown brought $l.l5 per bushel
Tomatoes were higher Al - cents
for eight pound basket, green onions
were up TO a shilling and cukes high
er at 10 cents. Small fruits were
somewhat scarce, but prices were
about the same as the day previous.
Trading in beans is very moderate.
There is very little demand for white
beans, and practically none Tor red
