DR.. ATKINS GIVES
BIC BOOST To
PURE MILK
Exposes UncIean Diaries and
Counts the "Bugs" in Sam
Piles Sold in Atlanta.

The pure milk campaign had been
materially advanced Wednesday as a
result Of startling exposures of in
sanitary conditions in the handling
and sale of milk in Atlanta, made Mt
the pure milk meeting held at Taft
Hall Tuesday night under the aus
pices of the State Department Of Ag-
riculture and the milk committee of
the Chamber Of Commerce.
DR.. Kenneth n. Atkins, State Bac-
teriologist, who has made an exhaus-
tive investigation and chemical test
of milk samples, made the revelations,
which caused a stir in the audience
Of between 400 and 500 people.
Other speakers were J. D. Price,
Commissioner of Agriculture; DR.. r.
E. Stalllngs, State Chemist, and DR..
Peter F. Banhsen, State Veterinarian
Wilmer L. Moore, president Of The
Chamber Of Commerce, presided at
the meeting and introduced the
speakers
Result Of Or. Atkins Tests.
Step by step DIR. Atkins analysed
the conditions he found existing IN
Atlanta diaries, soda fountains, no.
tells and other milk emporiums. In
detail he enumerated the figures OBJ
tanned in ARCHAEOLOGICAL tests of sam
pies of milk procured at these places.
To bring his revelations squarety
home to his audience, DR.. Atkins
exhibited pictures exposing some G
the insanitary conditions existing in
Atlanta.
Some Of these pictures showed milk
cans and pals sitting open-side up
and uncovered on dirty back porchs
and in filthy back yards, and in some
instances only a few feet away from
manure piles. Others showed filthy
milkhouses, with screen doors wide
open and with rags hanging in close
proximity to the open cans.
Pictures of Dirty Diaries.
DR.. Atkins also showed pictures OF
downtown dairymen pouring milk out
of bottles sitting on garbage cans
and others measuring the depth Of the
milk by sticking their arms down IN
the bottom of the cans Methods OF
washing cans and other utensils were
also exposed in a series Of pictures.
DR.. Atkins most startling revela-
ton. perhaps, was his figures on bac-
teriological tests made in the state
laboratory. These tests. he declared
showed millions of bacteria in sam
pies of milk in which the law permits
a maximum of only 100000.
Sixty samples of milk taken from
producers in and out of Atlanta, &C
cording to DIR. Atkins figures, showed
an average count of $4,000 bacteria;
80 samples taken from wagons and
diaries showed an average count OF
365, 900; rs samples from depots in
Atlanta an average of 1,575,0OO bac-
terra to the cubic centimeter; % sam
Piles from soda fountains showed an
average of count Of $4,000; six
samples from hotels showed an aver
age of 2.410,000 and 80 samples from
downtown cafes showed an average
of 2,034OO0 to the cubic centimeter.

Fertilizer for Alfalfa.

From my experience horse manure
is the best thing for alfalfa, but don't
advise anyone to put 1t on the year he
sows, says the Farmer. The year be.
fore is best, or the year after will do. II
manure is applied when seed is sown 1t
will cause more filth to come and
smother out the young alfalfa plant,
which is very delicate the first year.
After that 1t will take care of itself.
Another fault with manure ia in most
cases there Is plenty OF timothy seed
IN 1t, and the consequence Is you will
have good stand of timothy. From
what have used of alfalfa, no farmer
can afford to do without 1t. for 1t can
be grown In this state, and why not
try it? II you do fail sometimes. and
the seed comes very high. when you
do get good stand 1t Is fortune In
the hay line.

GOOD FEED FOR DAIRY COWS
Young Animals Must Be Given Moder-
ate Grain Ratien-Clean and Per
sistent Milking Needed.

Young cows with their first calves
must be given a moderate grain ration,
which may be gradually increased.
Let the calf suck the COW for few
days; after the calf has done sucking
milk out the remainder of milk every
drop each time. The German dairy
men milk their young cows three times
day. The extra milking develops the
udder and milk veins; the result Is q
greater yield OF milk. Young COWS
should be MIXED up to within four
weeks of having the second calf. Clean
and persistent milking will develop
the habit of milk yield. Cows must
have succulent food to milk we'll. Now
is the time when roots may be given
If ensilage cannot be had. Beets con-
tain considerable sugar. A half bushel
Of sliced roots mixed with two quarts of
wheat bran and one quart of flaxseed
meal given morning and evening to
each cow in milk will largely increase
the milk yield. Give to each g good
forkful of mixed clover hay and after
the hay is eaten give the roots; give
straw at noon. This makes an eco
nomical feed, as most of the food may
be grown on the farm. Alfalfa and red
clover hay should be largely grown by
dairymen If their land Is suited to
these crops. The aim should be to
grow those ,clovers and grasses that
will give the greatest yield in tons and
also in food value

FEEDING Hens for Euqs.

Any good, healthy pullets will pro-
duce eggs probably during the winter
months II they were Matched early
enough regardless OF the exact feed
ing method used. This fact Is perfect
ly true to a degree, and II we had to
choose between late Matching with
scientific feeding and early Matching
with unskilled, but plenteous feeding,
we would choose the latter every time.
The hen is not very particular
where she finds her food, and she has
an omniverous appetite, but nature
makes her balance up her ration
pretty we'll, provided she has access
to the various elements needed.
At the same time, the eariy-hatched
fowl will be benefited Just as much by
scientific feeding as will the late
Matched one, and the few simple rules
governing poultry feeding should be
thoroughly understood and followed
by every poultry keeper.
By scientific feeding we mean the
nearest practical approach to the ex-
act requirements Of the fowls body
IN producing eggs, tissue, heat and en-
ergy.
If hen needs q pound of protein or
desh-forming food and needs only four
pounds Of fats and starches, we must
not feed all corn, because in this case
she will have to eat about twelve
pounds Of starch to get her pound Of
protein, and the surplus eight
pounds Of starch will be wasted, make
her too fat to lay or make her sick.
The whole secret is to mix the food in
order to save that surplus of starch
and make the hen lay at her top
speed.
Here is what your flock must have
in order to do their very best for you:
Grain--They should receive mixed
grain twice a day, about one handful
to the fowl, eaca feed. Cracked corn,
wheat and clipped oats makes an ex-
cellent mixture Barley may be used
In place Of oats and kafir corn Is
good grain In the southwest. Do not
feed whole corn to hens in a mixture
as 1t Is harderEto digest and they negs
lect the rest OF the mixture. Feed
grain in deep straw during winter
months.

When the robbers entered my store

in the front near the counter. While

When he laid down nickel and i

those fellows took to their heels. It
wasn't funny then, but you should

got out of the store

tears came TO their eyes.

WAYS TO UTILIZE RYE PATCH
Acre or Two OF Rich Land VIII Fur
nlsh Supply Of Early Green
Fead for Cows.

Rya which Is sown In the fall for
green feed during cold weather may
be economically used in at least three
ways the next spring and the early
summer. One Of these ways Is to use
it foS pasture Another way Is to
use T. for q summer soiling crop for
milch cows.
An acre or two on rich land will
produce a large amount of early
green feed and the crop can be used
for nearly three months. To use rye
as soiling crop, ksep the stock OF
it In the spring and when it is tall
enough to cut take the mower to the
patch and cut enough for two days
feeding. Rake this and store it Ia
ths barn and feed out. Then NOW
enough more for another two days
feeding and continue the same meth
cd till the patch is all mown.
By this time the rye Of the first
moving will have grown up enough
for second cutting and in success
sion it may be cut several times dur
ing the early spring and summer. In
this way a great number of cows may
be kept on a limited area OF pasture.

KEEPING hiIDDLEMAN AT BAY
Commission Men strenuously Object
TO Bills introduced In Albany
Amendment Agreed to.

Hearings ON the bills providing for

TEL thereby u zetection for
the producer against dishonest and I'm
scrupulons middlemen. have been spir-
tied In the extreme. During one OF
these hearings the rafters Of the great
Albany capitol fairly rang with the
short and ugly rejoinder. The commits
sion men objected to the bill to the
verge OF apoplexy. They did not want
rs be inspected and bonded. They
rallied at the provision that merchants
should furnish the names of purchas-
ers within forty-eight hours after sales.
And when all semblance of argument
failed them they roared at the farmers
that they were the ones to be inspect
ed and bonded. The farmers retorted
In kind. Twas a beautiful row with
Kilkenny favor.
Finally exhausted, the commission
men declared that really there wasn't
any money in buying and selling farm
products, at which there was great
and continued laughter. The oppo-
nenta of the bill scored one point,
however, when they put themselves on
record that they would withdraw all
objections IL an amendment were
tackled to the measure making it mis-
demeanor for farmer to mark hts
goods as being OF quality or quantity
other than they actually were. It Is
SOUND logic that If honesty is to be
legislated into the middleman he ls
entitled to assurance the producer
wont cheat.
The bill In all probability will be
enacted into law, but that fact win not
help the man for whose benefit 1t was
framed unless he plays his end Of the
game with scrupulous honesty. The
bonded and inspected commission man
Is bound to do business only with an
honest farmer, wherefore the law
should work both ways,-Country Cen

For the Swine Rreeaer,

Unsanitary conditions about the
hog-pens cause an unwarranted loss
OF pigs In infancy.
Corn breeders claim that it is pos
sible to double their crops by tmprov-
ed methods. Is it not possible for us
to double our pig crop without keep
ing more sows?
The size OF the pig crop depends
upon the care and feed given the sows
more than 1t does upon how many
sews we keep. The fewer sows we
keep the better are the chances OF
saving a large number Of pigs per
SOW.
Overlooking and understanding
Will ruin the best brood sows.
When outdoor exercise and sun.
shine are lacking, the pigs should
have q wide variety OF feeda

Ground grain, or mash, is absolutely
necessary for economical results. and
it can be kept before them at all
times in an automatic hopper; an ex-
cellent mixture is two parts cornmeal,
one part middlings, one part bran, one
part oil meal, one part alfalfa meal,
one part meat meal.
Green food Is essential TO the fowls
health and the color and body Of the
eggs. Pasture In summer and alfalfa,
cabbage, clover, chan, sprouted oats,
ETC., In winter will serve the pur-
pose.
Vegetable food is necessary for
health, and semi-weekly feed OF

Animal products are best supplied
by little green cut bone every other
day, but meat meal in the mash Is an
excellent substitute. They are of the
very highest importance to fowls
which do not have free range.

crushed oyster shells, plaster or mar

Grinding material must be had. and

as for humans and 1t should be clean

Cut Bone for Poultry.

Green cut bone is an excellent egg
producer when fed judiciously, says
the Poultry World. The supply should
be secured fresh and 1t should be fed
as soon as cut. Would not advise
feeding 1t every day, as the birds
are liable to overeat and sure case
Of diarrhoea will be the result. Three
times q week Is often enough to sup
ply this form of feed. I prefer to
mix 1t with bran or middlings and al
low the birds all they will eat In
fifteen minutes. If you prefer, it
may be fed clear or 1t may be- mixed
with the mash. If fed mixed with
other foods as above, the birds will
not fight for their share.

Vegetables in Window Boxes.

II you live In a fiat and have no
ground available for gardening, do not
give up the idea OF raising some deli
clous fresh vegetables of your own.
Many vegetables will grow in pots and
porch or window boxes just as well
as they will grow anywhere. It is very
easy to grow them, many Of the plants
are as decorative as flowers, and the
product will be much nicer and very
much less expensive than store veg
etables.
The location of the vegetable boxes
is important. They should be placed
where the sun will strike them nearly
all day. Windows, porches and roofs
can be used to advantage, under prop
er conditions.
It is usually better to use boxes or
trays instead of flower pots, as the
former will hold more plants to a
given area, dry out less quickly, and
are less liable to get broken.
Any dirt-tight wooden box, eight or
more inches deep, will make good
vegetable box. These boxes have to
be deeper than hot bed trays because
the vegetables are to mature in them
Bore some half inch holes in the bot
tom Of the box to provide drainage.
Put in two inches Of cinders, gravel or
other coarse material. Cover this
with from four to six inches Of fine
rich earth, prepared greenhouse earth,
IL possible. It should be thoroughly en-
riched with fine, well rotted manure.
and some wood ashes will help, also.
Coal ashes possess no available plant
food
Fasten your boxes firmly IN place
and plant your vegetable seeds or
plants as you would a regular garden.
II possible, these boxes should be
planted month or six weeks before
they are going 10 be placed out of
doors, SO as to get good start in the
house. Put them In place when dan
ger OF frost is past.
Keep the soil well watered, and aft
er the plants are up it will be well to
keep the surface Of the soil In crum-
bled condition, most Of the time.
Radtshes, lettuce, Swiss chard, spin
ach, onions, garlic and 1eek can all be
grown from seed in boxes. Magnih-
cent crops Of cumcubers and tomatoes
can be had all summer long. These
plants should be pruned and trained
On supports Of some kind, either wires,
stakes or strings. Egg plant and pep
per will do very nicely, and we have
seen trellis completely covered with
muskmelon vines growing in pots.
Care must be taken to water, culti-
vate, fertilize and spray for insect
pests IL any appear If bees and in
sects do not reach the blossom to pol
Innate them, 1t will be necessary to do
this by hand with some OF the vege-
tables mentioned. Take a cancels
hair brush and transfer the pollen
from one plant to another. This In
sures fruit, and is quite important.
