The United States government has
recently established an Essential On
Station at Orlando, Fla, under the
direction Of the Department OF Agri-
culture. Its purpose Is research
work regarding those trees. plants
and shrubs of foreign nativity adap-
table to F1orida's soil and climate;
those now native to that state which
are capable of yielding certain es-
sential OILS that can be used in the
arts and industries; and also those
which produce citrus by-products
such as citric acids. Already the sue
cess Of this new work seems assured.
Nearly s6.000.0ee worth OF essential
oils and gums are imported into this
country annually Professor Hood,
who IS in charge OF the station in
Florida, believes that a large pro-
portion OF them can be produced and
manufactured in that state. The
present war difficulties have mater
tally 1essened the supply OF these pro-
ducts from Europe, and several In
dnstries are suffering from this con-
dition-
Among the oils which are now be
ing successfully produced at the sta
ton are Oil of rose geranium, which
is usually imported from A1gfers;
lemon grass, from which lemon ex-
tract is made. imported from India;
cftronella, OF which million pounds
are imported annually from India and
Java; lavender, imported from Eng

Pure MIX will Save the Babies

Not all the deaths during the sum-
mer are due to rocking the boat. |"
This is the time Of the year when the
greatest amount Of intestinal diseases,
and consequent deaths, occur among
babies and little children.
When asked the cause Of this, DR..
M. P. Ravenal, professor Of bacteriol-
ogy at the University Of Missouri, said
that many of the disorders Of the d.
gestive tract, such as dysenterY, diar-
rhea, and cholera iniantum, were due
to dirty and spoiled milk.
Much Of this dirt, said Doctor Raw
enel, comes from the stable and is
made up in large part oi intestinal dis
charges Of the COW herself. In some
cases the disease germs, like tubercular
bacillii, the germ Of foot and mouth
disease, garget, and septic sore throat
come directly from the COW into
the milk. During the summer,
however, diseases OF the digestive
tract most prevalent in children,
which cause large death rate, are
often brought about by an excessive
number Of ordinary germs found in
the intestinal tract OF cows, many OF
which bring about rapid souring and
decomposition OF the milk with pro-
duction Of poisonous products.
"Udders and fanks Of cows should
be cleaned and moistened before milk
ing. The mixer should have clean
hands and the milk can should be
cleaned and sterilized where possible.
Milk which is used in msnufactur-
ing ice cream should have the same
care. Ice cream made from pure in
gradients is wholesome and nutritious
food for even young children, and its
use should be encouraged. 1t is now
largely used also by conyalescents
with the best oil results.
1t should always be remembered
that good work done in dairy may
be spoiled by careless handling oi
the milk in the home.

Business and Politics

Confidence in republican success
next year is based largely on the be
lief that business, big and little, is
against the democracy, and will i'm
prove the opportunity to declare itself
at the polls. The depression OF the
past two years has created a longing
for a change.
Business did not elect Mr.. Wilson.
1t was not in favor Of his election.
But ii was powerleSs in the face OF the
republican division. As it could not
heal that it was obliged to accept the
result at the polls, which brought in
the minority by minority vote. The
wrangling republican politicians, and
not the business men, we're respon-
sible fer what took place in November,
1912.
Since then business has had "a
time Of it," Hence the assertion
that at the polls next year business o.
all kinds and degrees will register itsel
in favor Of change. Washington

The first requisite Of good mana
ger Of any large business is ability to
select competent assistants. No mat
ter how able the manager, the enter
prise cannot succeed il for any season
the subordinates are not fitted for the
the positions to which they are as
signed. Herein is the key to the
failure ol the Wilson administration.
Having no business experience him
self, the President should have made
special effort to secure the assistance
Of men Of large experience in handling
important affairs. But with one or
two exceptions, his cabinet appoint
ments were monumental mistakes.
Any business man Of ordinary expert
ence, any country store keeper, con-
tractor or country banker, having at his
command, as the President does, every
citizen OF the United States, could
have taken two weeks 10 study the
situation and then made far better
selection than was made by Presi-
dent Wilson. It is evident that the
President himself realizes his blunder
for whenever sor'e problem Of real i'm
portance arises, he takes personal
charge Of it or authorizes the EN-.
ployment Of an expensive corps Of
special counsel. But the captain Of
the team cannot escape responsibility.
He had absolute control over selection
Of his cabinet, and their incompetence
proves his own incapacity as the mana
ger Of the largest business concern in
the world-the United States Govern.

What 10 do for ScOurs in Calves

Farmer in Southern Missouri recently
wrote TO the College Of Agriculture
saying, Il am having trouble with my
calves. l am raising them by hand.
Uhey scour all the time and l am
afraid am going to lose some Of them
What can I do for scours2"
]. G. Watson, Extension Assistant
Professor Of Dairy Husbandry, made
the following reply:
This disease is the result OF a de-
ranged digestive system. Keep calves
only in warm, clean, we'll ventilated
pens. Feed them regularly, giving
the milk III clean pals. Always re-
move the foam from the separated
milk. Grain rations should be fed
dry and Immediately after the milk.
This will prevent ear sucking, Gus
tom among calves which often results
in bloa. and scours, caused BY taking
air into the stomach.
The following remedies may be
used. Eggs alone or mixed with
-four; or teaspoonful Of dried blood
to feed Of milk; or one-half ounce oil
tormalin in 1912 ounces Of water as
a stock solution and feeding teaspoon.

Germans to Build Factories Here

With the report that two large Ger
man concerns have bought property
on Jersey soil and will promptly begin
TO construct manufacturing plants,
comes up the old discussion so often
seen in print and heard in discourse.
1t was frequently urged against
the Republican party that while high
duties kept out many foreign made
articles thousands on thousands Of Ior-
eign workmen came to our shores.
There was enough reason in this to
force the passage Of laws against i'm
porting labor under contract, and thrice
we have come near far more stringent
Legislation against wide open ports.
Much is said against the arrival Of
multitudes who may crowd native
laborers out Of employment. On the
other hand, it is declared that unskil-
led labor would fail us did not men
from the Old World come to do what
native born Americans refuse 10 do.
But there have been good and bad
men from abroad; we owe to Europe
citizens Of great value ond citizens Of
undesirable type, the foreigner is as
varied, as the native and the gull be-
tween the best and the worst Ameri-
cans is a wide ore. The immigration
question is a mixed one, still this is
clear. II thousand ton OF British
iron and thousand yards OF French
silk are bought BY Americans,
that money goes over the water.
II an English iron worker enters
an American foundry and a French
silk operator finds employment a large
part Of the wages earned must be
spent here. Furthermore, many Of the
skilled artisans who came here did no,
displace any laborers, they started new
industries. Americans learned to dc
the same work, thousands Of immigrants
became excellent citizens their child

rogatories. The thirst for information
which Mr.. Williams exhibits is some
thing extraordinary; and some Of the
questions he asks are regarded as in
quisitorial and meddlesome to au aston
ishing degree. The function Of the
comptroller's Office thas been to see that
banks conduct their business according
to law and maintain their solvency-
which is the chief concern OF their de-
positors and Of the public. But Mr..
Williams now wants to know about the
salaries the banks pay their officers,
how much directors get for attending
meetings, how much the banks pay for
their quarters, or, if they own their
own buildings, how much rental they
receive and how much they charge
themselves, and how much the prop
erty is assessed for.
In one sense these new questions
to all banks are an outgrowth Of the
policy which the comptroller has pur'
sued toward the Riggs tank and which
that bank has submitted to the scrutiny
Of the court. This litigation promises
to be OF intense interest and its conse-
quences, political and otherwise, are
likely to be far-reaching. But the
present tactics OF the government,
which has been put upon the defensive,
are to play for delay. The first post
ponement which the comptroller asked
Tor was regarded as a mere sparring
for wind, but as the day OF hearing ap'
proaches, it becomes evident that
Williams lawyers intend to use all the
tricks Of their trade in an attempt to
delay trial Of the case upon its merits.
They are planning to raise all sorts OF
technical objections in order to take
an appeal on points Of law, hoping, Of
course, that it will be later than No
vember, 1916, before the case can be
heard. In the meantime, il this pro-
gram succeeds, the present charter oI
the Riggs bank will have expired, and
its renewal is matter which is wholly
within the decision Of the comptroller.
Accordingly, if Williams can delay the
lawsuit he reckons to hold the whip.
hand on the bank.
OF course, this is not an agreeable
situation for an administration whose
motto is "pitiless publicity" But the
fact is that ''pitiless publicity" is tie
administrations motto and nothipg g
more. 1t never has been the admin
istration's policy.
