DIARIES FURNISHING MILK TO
RICHMOND GIVING GOOD GRADES

grades. How well the barns are paint
ed and whitewashed is also taken into
consideration. The state law requires
that dairy barns be whitewashed at
least once year and Mr.. Bruner stat
ed that dairymen in this vicinity com
ply with this law better than those in
other parts of the state.
At present there is a large supply
of milk everywhere. Several gallons
of milk are being sold daily in this
city alone and farmers have more milk
than they can dispose of. The demand
will exceed the supply. however, in
the latter part of July and in August.
Shortage in the milk supply which
comes at that time each year is due
largely to the extreme heat and the
flies which bother the cattle.
The best cows examined by Inspec-
tor Bruner were those at Easthaven.
Some of these cows furnish more than
so pounds of milk or more than six
gallons daily. There are g COWS in the
herd and the average daily supply Of
milk there is 9s4 pounds or A gal
Ions per cow day. The average herd
furnishes rs to gallons of milk per
head a day.

Just a year ago today Senator
Root by a vote OF 55S to 502 was
elected temporary chairman of the
Republican convention at Chica-
go, and the death knell of Repub-
lican reactionarism sounded.
Senator Root was the candidate
of the Taft reactionaries and his
unsuccessful opponent was Gov
ernor McGovern OF Wisconsin. the
candidate OF the Roosevelt pro-
gressives.
The reactionaries' triumph that
day was but the preliminary bur
ial service for their greatest defeat

Progressives completely obIiter-
ated the party that had ruled this
