WHAT CAUSES MILK TO FOAM IN
THE CHCRN.

When milk foams in the chnrn Il
is sometimes luz to the fact that it is
too warm or the churn is too full. but
occasionally it results from the pres
ence Of certain forms Of bacilli.
These do not occur very often but
when they once gain access to the
milk or the pals or churn they are
sure to cause trouble and 1t takes
some time to get rid of them.
The cows should be thoroughly
washed and sprayed with an effective
but harmless disinfectant and the
barn should be sprayed and then
thoroughly whiteWashed. Cove every
inch of the interior Of the barn in
Guiding the stalls and hangers.
Next wash the udders Of the COW
thoroughly before each milking and
mix with the water a little ~disinfect-
ant. Wipe the udder and teats and
dry with q clean cloth.
The first milk should be MIXED
into a separate vessel and thrown
away for sometimes the bacilli turks
in the opening Of the teats, and il
this Is allowed to enter the milk 1t
| may contaminate the entire supply.
The milking pals and all vessels
containing the milS should be thor
oughly boiled IN water containing q
| little concentrated I've for at least two
i hours and this sterilization should be
| repeated for three or four days. The
room in which the milk is kept
should also be thoroughly cleansed
| and disinfected, This Is very import
| ant because no matter how clean your
! COWS and barn and vessels may be. il
there is the least contamination left
in old milk or butter or In anything
that is left In the room where milk is
kept the bacilli will continue to grow.

A few years ago steer feeders
thought Silage was too sour II
sloppy TO produce good beef but they
do not think so now.
Steers that are being fattcned in
the winter need worry little exercise.
But If confined In small lots where
they can have fresh air every day and
sunshine there is going during
the winter months they will make
better gains than II confined in dark
and foul barns or pens.
A fact which many feeders do not
appreciate is that maturing cattle
generally feed better when fed grain
once, or at the mos twice a day, with
plenty of roughagc, always where
they car get at it. Young animals
should be fed three times per day.
1t is never wise to put cattle on ful
feed at the start. They should be lee
up to it gradually, else they viii

and other troubles.

porters Immediately swarmed around him
and demanded his arrest His lawyer
pleaded with the men for forgiveness,
and asked that his client be not humili-

forget his injuries. and Cruikshank then
wrote the statement TO smooth over the
matter. Cruikshank's statement reads:
Until I have had a further talk with
my partner and my lawyer I prefer TO
say nothing. But 1 am not unwilling 10
say that I am going North to confer

REPRESENTATIVE HANNA
STRONG FOR ROOSEVELT

Representative Hanna, OF North Da-

for Theodore Roosevelt for President. In
letter to Alexander H. Reven. OF Chi
caso, Mr.. Hanna says:
I am in receipt OF your telegram IN
the matter OF Mr.. Roosevelt becoming a
candidate for President.
Il am for Mr.. Roosevelt I have a
very high regard for Mr.. Taft. and be-
lieve that he has done much for the
country since he has been President, and
that the future will testify to this: but
should he be the standard bearer OF our
party I have felt that there was an
element IN the party that would not sup
port him. Senator La Toilette IS a good
man, and do not believe anywhere near
as radical as some papers would have
US think he Is. but should he be the
nominee I feel II would be impossible
for him to secure the unanimous support
OF the Republican party. Mr.. Roosevelt
can get the support practically OF
the whole party and can bring the
party together. He will also get many
thousands OF Democratic votes, and I
feel that he is the man for the Repub-
Iicans TO nominate. as he has the conh-
dence Of the people Of the whole country,
regardless OF party, and that he can and
viii be nominated and elected"

Paying a Heavy Penalty.

The untimely death of Commander
L. c. Bertolette, of the Yorktown, from
yellow fever at Guayaquil, is part OF
the price the United States pays for
the semblance OF peace in Latin-Amer-
ica. Commander Bertolette was in the
line of duty sent by his country to
protect American interests at the fever
infested port of Ecuador, during one
of the periodical upheavals, otherwise
called a revolution, in that nation. II
is understood that peace has been
patched up between factions, and that
the presence of the Yorktown is no
longer required in the port of Quay
aquil, but this situation comes too late
to save American lives.
It is inevitable that the United States
and other powers must have gunboats
at the principal ports of these Latin
American countries when they are
passing through their peculiar political
changes. Unfortunately, at no time in
recent years have there been so many
of these disturbances going on con-
temporaneously. but at few of the
ports-where American war ships are
required-do all the conditions of a
pesthole prevail to such an extent as

The Price of Butter.

The proposed investigation by the
grand jury of New York City into the
operations of the so-called butter trust
is in the line of public protection. 1t
will proceed with vigor, even though
the price of butter has declined be-
cause the searchlight has been turned
upon the manipulations of the Elgin
board.
1t is a matter of public interest when
men concerned in furnishing neces-
sity of living can gather together and
arbitrarily fix the price which must be
paid for that commodity. Indeed, it
would seem, from the prima facie facts
in the case, as if combination existed
which was inimical to public welfare,
and therefore a conspiracy amenable
to law. Men who will deliberately plan
to enrich themselves at the expense of
their fellow-beings through the exer-
else of a monopoly cannot expect to
receive much consideration at the bar
of public opinion. In fact, most people
will agree with the assertion of the
New York Herald that they ought to
be in jail.
1t is difficult to believe that the high
price of butter is not an arbitrary
matter rather than the result of nat
ural conditions. The work of the New
York grand jury will be followed with
interest everywhere, but it would be
worth while for the Federal govern
ment which has much larger powers,
also TO undertake a searching inquiry
into the whole question and secure, if
possible, some relief for the multitude
of people who are already burdened
with the high cost of living.
