SEPARATOR IS QUITE USEFUL
Dairy One Must Take Every Pre-
caution to Get Most Milk.

The modern dairy is very different
from the dairy Of the old time, and to
get the last cent Of profit out of your
labor, and out OF your cow. you must
take every precaution for securing the
largest quantity Of milk and for get.
ting from that milk the largest guam
tity OF butter and cream.
One way Is to get a separator and
then TO learn how to use the separator.
Then you must study the food prob
lem. You must keep an account with
every COW. II you have three or five
or ten, do not average the production
OF milk. Keep a separate account with
each COW and find out whether each
COW is producing enough to justify
you in feeding 1t and caring for It.
This is the foundation Of ucces In
the dairy.

H VIEW.

The special committee appointed by
the Socialists a year ago to study the
liquor problem says In its report, pre-
scented May l3 to the national commit
tee In Chicago that total abstinence
is the only absolutely safe and wise
course to pursue" in view Of the dis
astrous effects Of excessive drinking.
Many of the authorities quoted in
h report In condemnation of beer
are German. Among alcohol's recorded
opponents are 800 German and Aus
trian doctors. One statement is that
beer is not the harmless beverage
many OF the German people think 1t
is"
THE Socialist party" declares the
report, cannot remain Indifferent or
inactive, but should take a definite 20.

the evils OF alcoholism"

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.

The political strength of liquor is
furnished by the wine and beer drink
ers. Whisky interests may be better
fere more actively in politics. but
the votes which make possible the
sale of iEtoxicants are not furnished
by whisky drinkers, who do not al
ways vote as they drink. The beer
drirker generally will vote to protect
WINGED of its mallgnancy.-From Edi-
torial In Chicago Tribune.
And that is why the w. c. T. U. and
other temperance organizations are
bringing to the masses the truth about
beer and its malignant effects upon
the human organism. Concerning
those effects the Life Extension insti.
tute says in a published statement:
"One-half of n quart Of beer IL

Gus system are for a time released.
The everyday. well-poised, self-con-
trolled man goes to sleep, as It were.
and the primitive man temporarily

lowered, the total effect being a LOST

PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

(By JAMES MIDDLETON. in Worlds
Work.)
About two years 6 Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan gave a diplomatic din
ner in Washington, distinguished par
ticularly by the absence of wine. Im-
mediately the world burst into q roar
Of laughter; Europeans, especially,
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration of American provincialism.
A few months ago the king Of England
announced that he would himself abb
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
Of the war, and that wines would no
longer be served in any Of the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for
hidden the manufacture and sale Of
absinthe, and the Russian empire is
dryer" at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause Of antialcoholism has made
in less than a year. When the leader
of the most sophisticated society in
Europe follows the example of our
own somewhat homespun secretary Of
state, the cause OF teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.

and that the average COW does not
give a return OF exceeding $40 per
year for the labor invested and food
consumed.
With increasing land values and
cost OF labor and feed. such a return
gives little or no profit: and 1t Is up to
the farmer-dairyman keeping average
cows to find out why he is working
without compensation. II the average
dairy herd In the United States pro-
duces just enough to induce its owner
to keep on working, 1t Is evident that
many cow are kept at a loss, and that
IL the average production could be
raised a nice profit would result. II
is also evident that the only way to
raise the average is to improve the
methods OF caring for the cattle and
also the cattle themselves. BY i'm
proving the methods. it is quite likely
that the better three-fourths OF the
cows would produce as much profit as
all now do, and the ~one-fourth now
kept at a dead loss might be sent to
the block without decreasing the out
put OF dairy products. The man who
milks cows merely for the pleasure he
gets out of it, provided he can ahor
it, may confer a favor on humanity.
but Toes not show good judgment. and
the sooner such men can be induced
to change their methods the better 1t
will be for the whole dairy industry.
Improvement in conditions is neces-
sarily slow. The greater part Of the
owners are lethargic; but there is al
ways a progressive portion that Is
looking for better things. and this
portion will in time leaven the whole
mass. The main cause OF this lethargy
Is ignorance. Few men would keep
Improbable cows II they knew which
were kept at a loss; but they do not
test the COWS individually and SO can
not know.
All progress In dairy husbandry.
aside from improved methods of car
ing for the cattle, must depend upon
improvement by selection and by
breeding. BY selection OF the best
cows, and breeding TO the sons or best
COWS. in time a great improvement
would be shown; but this process Is
too slow when there is a quicker way
That quicker way Is to max use Of
the improved dairy breeds for the OBJ
tanning of bulls with which to mate
the selected cows. An improved breed
is one that is able to CONVEX food in
TO valuable products more protitably
than could the breed or breeds from
which It was derived. Also it must bt

be carefully bred to is the one tina

Currency Bills Workings.

BY the currency bill the Democratic
party created a democracy Of credit
such as has never existed in this
country before. For a generation or
more we have known and admitted
that we had the worst banking and
currency system in the world. because
the volume Of our currency vas wholly
inelastic; that Is. because there was
more than enough at certain seasons
to meet the demands of commerce n
credit, and at other times far too lit
tie; that we could not lessen the vol
ume when we needed less nor increase
it when we needed more. Everybody
talked about the absurd system and
it, quite necessary endorsements,
sure to produce periodic panics; and
everybody said that 1t ought to be
changed and changed very radically;
but nobody took effective steps to
change it until the present congress
addressed itself to the task with genu-
inc resolution and an intelligence
which expressed itself in definite &C
ton. And now the thing is done.

Confidence in the President.

President Wilson is a million votes
ahead OF the Democratic party" said
Representative Joseph w. Byrns OF
the Hermitage district of Tennessee
at the Burlington. reports the Wash
ington Star.
Il have just returned from an ex-
tended trip through the western
states, and I find that Mr.. Wilson Is
very strong in that territory. The
sentiment for him seems to be unani-
nous throughout the West. I never
have seen such a unanimity of opin-
ion among the people of any territory.
Both Democrats and Republicans are
strong for him. They seem to have
absolute confidence in his integrity
and leadership. Unless something un'
foreseen happens. there is no man
who can be brought forward to defeat
him."

In the ordinary climate of this coun-
try it is not necessary to put any
kind of a wall inside the %studding; the
building paper and the siding furnish
a wall that is sufficient protection
against the weather. The disadvantage
of a rough wall is that it furnishes a
refuge for the various insects that
are found in poultry houses. 1t Is
hard to paint a rough wall with white
wash or crude oil SO as to reach all
the and cracks.
In high-grade poultry establish
ments the wall is finished with
matched ceiling. This gives q very
smooth surface that can be easily
cleaned and kept free from vermin.
Many people think that this is too
much OF an expense unless chicken
raising IL taken up or a large scale.
A very satisfactory substitute has
been suggested for this matched cell
ing. Wall board has been tried in a
number OF instances, and very good re-
suits have been obtained. This gives
a smooth, tight wall, and the cost is
not very much.
