Looking After the Boy.

Nine reasons why boys go wrong are
given by Prof. G. w. Fiske, of Oberiin
college There may be others, but nine
are enough. Professor Fiske calls
crime phenomenon of adolescence" ii
definition borne out by the statistics Of
courts. Crime is a youthful practice,
development out OF petty vandalism
and unregulated life on the streets. The
professors nine reasons:
City life. which is artificial
Tenements and fats, which have
supplanted homes.
Too few Fairgrounds, parks and re-
creation spaces.
The average policeman. whom the
boy regards as his foresworn enemy.
The courts. which are stern and ma
chine like, and seem to the boy to be
tramping him down.
The present day school system which
Is an artificial one. without SPECIALIZE
ton and lacking courses interesting 20
many boys.
Recreation is unregulated.
Boys are exploited by child labor.
Divorces by parents drive them to
the streets

causes of crime in the first instance

small children are everywhere coming
in. As to the average policeman" he
has hard task. 1t is not that he IS
harsh with boys, but about all the boy
knows Of the city as an organized en-
man with his club and his arbitrary
authority, in the boyssh mind, to put
anything over on him. The policeman
stands as the representative of frown-
ing and mystical law. which is nc
friend of boy. hence neither is the
city any friend of the boy, nor the thing

which n Sust right for the development
OF bacteria. II it IL allowed to stand
around the barn the bacteria will de-
yelop rapidly and thus make it much
| more difficult to produce sweet cream.
The cream should be taken from the
separator and cooled at once. This can
be most easily done by placing the cans
| In small tank OF water. The average
we'll water has a temperature of about
90 degrees. This when pumped directly
into the small tank which has an OUT
let into a large stock tank offers the
most practical means of cooling the
cream on the average farm. The tank
may be constructed of either wood,
steel or cement and the pipes should be
arranged as indicated in the accom-
panying drawing.
Shotgun cans offer the best means
of cooling cream because of their small
diameter and the amount of surface ex-
posed to the water In comparison with
the amount of cream contained. The
cream will cool much quicker il it is
stirred at intervals of one-half hour
after it has been skinned.
The cream separator as well as the
| milk utensils used should all be thor
oughly washed with brush. A brush
y much preferred to a rag because of
the bristles getting into the cracks and
crevtces and cleaning the pals and cans
thoroughly. After washing, the utensils
should be scalded and then placed in
the air to dry. Cans and pals should
be inverted but should not have the
tops closely against the table. Pegs
fastened into the wall are a very good
| means Of airing the milk cans.
One Of the most important features in
producing clean milk is the covered
milk pail. This is simply an ordinary
| pail with the top partly covered in
order to prevent the dirt which drops
from the cow entering the pail. These
pals are little more expensive than
the ordinary. open pail and practical
use shows that they are very desirable
| for the average farm.
Those who are producing the best
grade of cream have constructed small
! milk houses. These are inexpensive and
are located near the pump. The cool
ing tank, as well as the cream separ-
ator. are placed in them, thus concen-
trating the work and making it easier
to care properly for the cream.
Every farmer will be well repaid for
constructing small tank and handling
his cream in a sanitary manner. The
premium on sweet cream will continue
! to increase and the price win more than
repay for the expense of the equipment
| and the trouble Of giving the products
good care.

THE BOARD AND TINE cHAuIAuouA.

A chautauqua association in an Iowa
town is scoring the school board for
charging the association $50 for the
use Of the school grounds where the
session was held. 1t is argued that
the chautauQua is by way of being an
educational affair and should thus be
free of the school grounds. Also the
statement is made that other towns
furnish school ground sites free to
chautauQuas
denim the school board too much. A
lyceum course is educational, quite as
much so as a chautauqua but ii is not
suggested that the school houses
should be turned over to those who
may promote either at home or from

tional. TO which an admission fee is

What a Lara. Population Means.

A census bulletin Just issued puts the
population of the United States at 10S,-
900 900. This gain Of about 100000
since the last bulletin was issued four
years ago.
One hundred and nine million people
in the United States! What does that
mean?
1t means, first of all, that the coun-
try is too big to be run entirely from
Washington; that the necessity Of eff
ficient state and local governments is
greater than 1t ever was before.
1t means that more attention must
be paid to the problems Ct the organi-
cation Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to the
distribution Of labor: that where the
human interests involved are so large
the old haphazard methods will no;
answer.
1t means a great and growing de-
mand for foodstuffs. hence q mainten-
ance and, ultimately. an increase OF
land values; that we are naturally be-
coming less and less of fofd-export-
ing nation: that manufacturers mus,
be relied on 10 supply the deficit in OK
ports due to this cause.
1t means that industries must be en-
millions of people are to find the work
they need; that manufactures must
reach out and find foreign markets
in South America and e,sewhere-l
they are to furnish employment to 9
proper part OF this great and CROWNS
population.
1t means that the population of the
United States, increasing at the pres
ent rate should soon fill up and de-
velop all the waste places of the con
tinent; that the era of intensive cul-
tivation and higher efficiency in in
dustry is becoming an economic neces-
sity; that the conservation policy Of
the government, wise as 1t may be. Is
likely soon 10 feel the strain of great
western population.
1t means that big capital and big in
dustries are needed to supply the de-
mands of these millions Us economical
~ and as quickly as possible; and that
we have the greatest domestic marke:
in the world, all a, the disposal of the
American producer.
II means that we count the greatest
human wealth of any occidental ma
ton, following the wise Gictum tina,
the greatest wealth of any nation Is
the labor of its citizens; also tina,
this country still remains the land OF
refuge and opportunity for the poor
and oppressed of all nations

scale big enough to stagger the
imagination-big enough TO make it;
