cake, and at the end Of the platform
is another frame, like the ~footboard
of a bed, with two fine wires bisecting
it both ways. The rotable frame has
a series Of fine wires running across
it parallel to each other. The but
ter is placed on the platform, and
this upper frame is pressed down
through it, the wires separating it into
SO many square slabs, about an inch
thick. The cake is then forced out
through the other frame and divided
into four times as many smaller

COWS SHOULD CALVE IN FALL
Dairy Department Of tho University
Of Missouri Recommends This as
the Best Practice

A number of reasons are given for
the practice Of most dairymen OF hav-
ing cows calve in the fall instead of
in the spring. The Dairy Department
of the University Of Missouri recon-
mends this as the best practice in
most cases, for some of the following
reasons:
Prices for milk and butter fat are
highest in the winter, and 1t is desir-
able that the COW be fresh to give the
maximum flow. When she begins to
decline in the spring, the fresh graso
of pastures will stimulate her to hold
up to good production.
calves in the first few months OF
their growth are fed mostly by hand.
In winter there is more time to care
for them properly. The grass Of
spring will come along just when they
are getting started on a rapid growth.
THE dry period Of the COW will
come at the time CT year when pas
lures are usually poor in Missouri,
and when flies are bad. This will
give relief to the COWS when they
need it, and will be easier for the
mixers.
"In cases where a regular milk
trade is to be supplied, it is necessary
to have the COWS calve at intervals
form flow, but where the farmer is
selling cream it seems best to have
the calves come in the fall"

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT

What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven

vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, If not by any country in the
world, is found In a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
of health concerning the prevention OF
their disease, and thus become a men
ace to the health Of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorlly
segregated by order of the courts, in
institutions provided for this purpose.
II such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations Of the lnstitu-
ton in which he is placed, he may "be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro,
vides that all counties in the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe'
cial institutions for the care Of al
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent OF
$500 a week for each person main

When the frog chants his noe

the shrieks of the passing locomotives
are but as mere chirpings in the face

JUSTICE COURT ABUSES.

Judge Lawrence Becker never

not a part of his game. When he
has anything to say he usually says
it in such a manner as to be fully UNI

The other day some of the abuses
of the justice courts cropped out in
petty criminal case and the judge did
not hesitate to say few things
about the administration of justice in
some of the justice courts of the
county.
The case was that of the State of
Indiana VS.. Koontz, the negro lawyer
who was charged with insulting n
woman. Little. sympathy is wasted
on Koontz for his conduct in this
community has been reprehensible in
a number OF instances.
The point is that no matter how
right to a fair and impartial trial
Race. color or creed have no place
in even the petty courts of justice in
this land.
koontz claims to be a lawyer but
his ignorance of the law is monu-
mental. He did not know enough
about legal procedure to protect his
own interests in the case in which he
was involved. When he thought lie
had perfected an appeal of his case
he was tripped up on technicality.
The poor ignorant fellow, founder
ing about in the mire of his unwar-
his own offensive personality and a
plaything IN the hands of justice
court attaches.
But Judge Becker recognized the
fact that even colored lawyer has
certain rights and as a result of the
evidence that was brought out in this
case he discharged the prisoner and
ordered the jury to return verdict
of not guilty.
And incidentally he scored those
who We're responsible for such a
prosecution. He informed them that
they and not the defendant ought to
be on trial. Incidents like these seem
to be necessary to prevent the con
slant miscarriage of justice in our
courts of least Jurisdiction
THE TIMES did not always agree
with Mayor Becker but it sees much
