NOTEs

Have the same person milk the
same COWS as far as possible.
The calf pail should be Just as care

her a chance TO develop first.

The COW must have pasture or its
equivalent This accounts for the
many soils and the great popularity
Of soiling crops.
The separator needs ventilating.
The best plan Is to leave 1t uncov.

Much is said about scales on the
farm. but the most important scale "a

and is used after every milking.
The tight, unveutilated barn may
be a little warmer than one that is
properly taken care Of. but 1t is also
q whole lot more damp and dangerous
to the health Of the COWS.
Some COWS are such persistent
mixers that It is almost impossible to
dry them on before freshening. This
should be done. however, for every
good COW leeds q little rest.

RESENTS CRITICISM OF
STATE DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON. July 24.-Aroused
by the criticism of Senator Fall, of
New Mexico, who publicly claimed
that the State Department was not
doing it's duty with reference to the
Mexican revolutionary claims, Acting
Secretary of StaSe Adee has re-
piled to the Senator's criticism by
saying that department has done
everything possible to aid Americans
to secure payment for damages at or
near the border.
Senator Fall claims that tive de-
partment has referred complaints to
the Mexican government" said Sec
rotary Adee. This Is not so. The
department will personally investi-
gate all claims and attempt to adju-
dictate them through diplomatic chan
nels. In addition we have
that all claims will be paid in Ameri-
al currency, and the only dispute
possible will arise over the value of
the property"
