AN APPREHENSION.
Editor Wheeling Majority,

Editor Wheeling Majority,
Sir:-The indictment in West Vir.
ginia by a Federal grand jury, of the
president and other officials of the
United Mine Workers of America, fol-
violation of the Sherman Act, gives
rise to grave reflection and serious
apprehension for the maintenance OF
American principles of democratic gov
eminent
| Congress by its recent passage OF
the Appropriations Bill exempting la.
Dor unions from prosecution under the
Anti Trust law, has implicitly declared
against such proceedings.
i Apparently the judicial department
of our government is directly con-
travening the action of Congress, thus
placing the legislative and judicial
functions in antagonism to each other,
threatening to make us again a house
divided against ITSELF" which Lincoln
said, quoting from a higher authority,
could not stand.
If this breach is not9elosed by the
executive authority under the provis-
sions of the Departmental Commerce
and Labor, the impending deluge will
overwhelm us. The destiny of the
nation is in the balance. Democratic
government is being pat to supreme
test, for we are on the verge of an
archy, as ex-President Taft has said
recently, in another connection, to his
| law students
If the Supreme Court of Love and
Good Will to all men, which has been
written in human hearts by the life and
20 In nf fhn No nfnrs kNf 10
| Is not made manifest in this crisis, we
go again in the way of the French Re
volution, to be resolved into the primal
human elements from which to emerge
slowly with pain through this century
to attain to a point of progress and
vantage wherein we now stand with
our choice, to go back to the flesh pots
more among the inhabitants of the
larger houses. Chalmers regards the
evidence as showing that the children
born in the smaller houses are from
the start under serious physical han
dicap which is related to some extent
to the ood-upply. This could be trac-
ed to the prevalence in this group Of
various forms of disease Of the diges
tive organs. "In later life the fnflu-
ence of the birth surroundings did not
wholly disappear, but these we're OBJ
secured by the influences Of adult life,
which, ais in the case Of diseases of the
nervous system, tended to become de-
generative type and appeared more
! frequently among tn occupants of
houses of larger SIZE" Whether or not
these particular conclusions are found
! to be generally valid, II will be recog-
nized, says The Journal OF the Ameri-
can Medical Association, that the care
full scrutiny and statistical analysis on
which they are based is the only me-
thod likely to lead to permanent re-
suits. In word, it is not simple
task to determine the influence Of
housing on health. Comparison of
death rates without reference to age,
sex, race reconomic conditions may
be quite misleading

CARE MUST Be USED
IN FILLING THE SIL0
Corn Should Be Put Away Be-
fore It Becomes Too Ripe.
SECURELY CLOSE ALL OPENINGS.

Corn should be put into the silo.
when the grain has become denied
and glazed but is still easily broken
with the thumb nail, but it will make
good silage even If it is past that stage.
If corn has become little too ripe
for the very best silage, especial care
should be taken not to cut it in the
field too far ahead and allow it to-
dry out before it is hauled in. There
is probably more danger of putting
it In too dry than too wet and If it
does not feel distinctly wet as it falls
from the blower or elevator it may
be advisable to add water by turning
hose into the silO. A much better
distribution of water is obtained by
running small stream into the blower.
Especial care should be taken to
keep the silage higher at the walls
during filling as air is most likely to
reach this outside portion and cause
the silage to spoil. The whole SUR
face should be more carefully tramp
ed than is usual II cut in half-inch
lengths the silage packs better but
more power is required to run the,
cutter. Some object also that the
half-inch lengths tend to stand on end
between a cows gums and cause
sore mouth. Impossible let the silage set
tie a few days after filling, then add
as much more as possible in order to
make use Of the silO's full capacity.
Knot holes or other openings
through or between slaves or around
doors may be closed with little
moist clay, as the silage reaches
them during filling. A little care on
this point will save a good deal OF
spoiled silage in silos that are Begin
ming to open up.

SORE THROAT FROM MILK
Many Outbreaks Traced to Certain
Bacteria.

Many Outbreaks Traced 70 Certain
Bacteria.
The advancement along the lines OF
bacteriology during the past few years
has revealed new dangers from using
contaminated milk. One of these dis.
coveries has to do with contagious
form of sore throat.
Many outbreaks of sore throat have
continued to appear in number of
different tactics which have been traced
to certain bacteria. 1t has been found
that these micro-organisms get into
the milk from those handling the milk
or from a diseased udder.
A few years ago an outbreak of 900
cases appeared in Stockholm, Sweden,
which was traced to an abcess in the
udder of a COW in one of the herds
that furnished milk to the city.
Since this outbreak in 1908 in
Stockholm similar outbreaks have
occurred in Chicago, Boston and Bal
timore. It has been found quite re-
Gently that the disease does not stop
at the throat, but often spreads to
other parts of the body and may Sc
riously affect the heart, the brain or
the joints.
A more recent outbreak. of sore
throat occurred in Boston in 1911, in
which DIR. Winslow made very
thorough investigation. He traced the
origin to one of the most carefully
conducted diaries in Boston, and
found cases of sore throat in family
on one of the farms that supplied
milk to the dairy and also in fam
lily Of one of the employees at the dairy.
The occasional outbreaks of septic
sore throat and other infectious dis.
eases furnish most powerful argu-
ment for the pasteurization of all
milk given to children in a raw state.
Where these outbreaks occur 1t has
been found that the trouble ceased as
soon as the milk was properly pas.
teurized.
II milk Is delivered In the bottle
1t may be pasteurized by setting the
bottle into q can of water and heated
to las degrees for about twenty min.
utes. Where the milk comes in the
bulk a good method is to put it into
a double oatmeal cooker and heat In
the same way. Where this is not At
hand a small tin vessel set into a
larger one filled with water will serve
the purpose.

LOSS FROM POOR SEED.
Not Acclimated and Of Low PRODUCING
Vitality.

The importance of natural variation
and differences in climate in relation
to agricultural production has never
been fully realized. Under natural
conditions only those survive which
can modify their habits Of growth so Al
to make a successful resistance to de-
structive influences and propagate
their kind.
When man enters in as q factor he
may, and usually does In consider.
able measure, interfere with these
natural adjustments. He selects indt-
viduals and cultivates them for some
natural popularity, and as result in
tensifies these features; but unless he
follows natures methods and destroys
the plants that are not best adapted
to his conditions and requirements he
soon gets a mixture of individuals,
good. bad and Indifferent, and cult
Yates them all together.
On the other hand, If he selects the
individuals that give the best results
under his peculiar conditions and pre-
vents their crossing with the less de.
sirable sorts, he soon develops strain
of high efficiency and productiveness
for those particular conditions; but,
like nature. he must continually select
the good and persistently destroy the
bad, or eventually lose all and see the
variety run out"
The great importance Of selecting
and growing seed under the condi-
tiOns under which the future crOn
must be grown is now apparent.

Grafton might well adopt.

Stake half bushel of unslaked
lime with boiling water. keeping Il
covered during the process. Strain
Il and add . peck Of salt. dissolved in

rice put In boiling water and boiled
to a thin paste: half pound Of span.

dissolved in warm water. Mix these

stand for several days. Keep the
wash thus prepared in a kettle or
portable furnace. and when used put
It on as hot as possible with painters
or whitewash brushes.
