partment when thus handled nave

heartily recommended this way of re-
failing milk
The muck-raker and the yellow
journal. it is suggested. have no place
in dealing with the milk question. Tn
reasonable and adverse criticism OF
the local milk supply tends marked
ly to increase the consumption OF con-
densed milk. the public having the
erroneous impression that they have
a much more sanitary and healthful
product, and ignoring the fact that 1t
comes originally from the same old
COW. 1t is the policy OF the depart
ment to educate the milkman along
sanitary lines rather than to prose
cute him for ignorant violation of
the law. Some Improvement has
been made in the quality of milk sold,
as well as in the sanitary condition
of the diaries, but much more re-
mains to be done. The most marked
defects of dairy barns in this state,
it is said, is the lack of sunlight in
the barns and PROPER ventilation.
There are but two requisites for the
production of pure milk, we are toll.
The first is to keep dirt out of the
milk. and the second is to cool it as
quickly as possible after milking and
keep it cooled below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit
Other portions of the report are
devoted TO the discussion or the care
OF milk and cream. the standardiza-
tion of ice cream, dairy trains, siios
and silage, adulterated butter, cheese
and butter output. A table printed in
connection with the report gives the
average price of western extra
creamery butter in the New York
market Tor each year since 1900. The
average price for the twelve months
ending Nov. 1, 1911. was 2613, this
being about. n cents less per pounu
than the price for the previous year.
1t is explained that the low average
was due to an accumulation of poor
butter which was thrown on the mar
ket in the spring of 1911 Much of
the butter stored during the previous
summer was not of the best quality
and was bought at a price which
prevented its being sold at profit.
The owners of this butter in the hope
of receiving price which would en-
able them to sell without loss waited
until the beginning of the new butter
season before disposing of their hold
ings. The unloading of this large
amount of poor butter during the
spring months demoralized the but
ter market to such an extent that
prices remained at low figure until
the dry weather began to reduce cur.
rent receipts of fresh butter.
The amount OF butter produced by
the creameries of Iowa for the year
ending July /, 1911, shows some in
crease over the preceding year This
increase, amounting to 2,7S3,6S4
pounds, is noted with surprise in
view of the extremely dry summer
and the general shortage of feed
throughout the state.

THE cRUciHLE OF LIFE.

THE cRUciBLE OF LIFE.
Sunshine and shadow, blue sky and
gray,
Laughter and tears as We tread on
our way;
Hearts that are heavy, then hearts
that are light,
Eyes that are misty and eyes that are
bright;
Losses and gains in the heat of the
strife,
Each in proportion to round out this
life.
Into the crucible stirred by the years
Go all our hopes and misgivings and
fears;
Glad days and sad days. our pleasures
and pains.
Worries and comforts, our losses and
gains,
Out Of the crucible, shall there not
come
Joy undefiled when We pour off the
scum
Out of our sadness and anguish and
woe,
Out of the travail and burdens we
know,
Out Of the shadow that darkens the
way,
Out of the failure that tires us today
Have you a doubt that contentment
will come
When you've purified life and discard
ed the scum?
Tinctured with sorrow and Favored
with signs,
Moistened with tears that have flown
from your eyes:
Perfumed with sweetness of loves
that have died.
Leavened with failures, with grief
sanctified,
Sacred and sweet is the joy that must
come
From the furnace of life when
you've poured off the scum.

Once in Tunis Admiral Evans had an
experience that was similar to his
Chilean one. The American consul at
Tunis reported some trouble, and
Evans was sent to straighten matters
out. He told the, hey that unless he
apologized and fred a salute of 100
guns in honor of the American flag
he would change the boundaries OF
Tunis, and that the result would be
an inland Tunis. The hey did not
have enough powder to fire the salute
that was demanded and appeased
Fighting Bob by giving banquet in
his honor that was the greatest in
the history of Tunis.

was assigned to command the battle
