IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS
10 Prevent Disease Cows Should Be
Carefully Brushed and cleansed
at Least Twice Every Week.

In the prevention of disease too
much stress cannot be placed upon the
Importance OF cleanliness. For this
reason the cows should be brushed and
cleansed at least twice week. partic-
ularly on those parts that are beyond
the reach of the tongue. Whatever
Denent may come from the COW licking
herself when she Is clean, there is
more or less danger from that source
when the cows are kept inside, ana
nave no way OF cleaning their bodies
except with their tongues when turned
out for water and exercise.
AT certain times during the year and
at certain stages of condition and
health the hair comes off in great
abundance. AT such times, when the
animals lick themselves, much of the
hair gets into their stomachs and there
is danger Of its forming hard mass
that will severely injure them This
danger is minimized by brushing the
COWS carefully. 1t should be done daily
while the cows are shedding their
coats, for at this time there is more or
less Irritation of the skin that prompts
the animals to lick their bodies more
perslstently than at other times. By
brushing them in careful manner this
irritation is lessened and the falling
hair is removed beyond the reach of
their tongues

CONTROL RICHNESS IN CREAM
Separator Is Most Important Factor,
but When Adjusted Properly
There Will Be Variations.

The most important factor conrtoi
Ing the richness in cream is the cream
screw An the separator, but even when
that is adjusted properly there will be
some variations in the percentage of
fat In the cream. Ordinarily in winter
and when cows are more nearly dry
they are likely to give richer milk
than when fresh and on June pasture.
Accordingly, cream for the winter will
at times show variation Of about
seven per cent. over that produced
during the summer months
Not running separator at uniform
speed will also affect the cream, be-
cause the slower the separator bowl
rOtates 1t will affect the cream.
If too much skimmilk or water is
used in flushing out the bowl after
each time the separator is used the
cream will be thinner Use no more
than just necessary to free the bowl
from cream
Sometimes the skimmilk or the
cream becomes clogged, interfering
with the free passage of either cream
or the skimmilk through their re-
spective openings. These outlets
should be examined frequently.

death of John Bollinger, Chicago
infant who was permitted to die when
an operation might have saved his
life but left him mentally and physi-
cally defective, expressed no criticism
In their verdict Friday night of DR.. H
J. Haiselden, attending physician, who
decided not to operate on the child.
The action OF DR.. Haiselden has
provoked considerable argument
throughout the country as to the justi-
fication of his act, or not, as the indi-
vidual happened to think, and many
letters Of protest have been written to
the Chicago authorities demanding
that he be punished for malpractice.
The fact that the doctor did not oper-
ate, with the full consent and knowl-
edge of little Johns mother, does not
lessen the criminal act in the eyes of
the professors, who, by the way, ap
pear mostly to consist of busy old
maids who go upon the face of the
earth lecturing to parents generally
on the proper method of administering
Group tonic and adjusting didies, but
who themselves are mighty careful
not to place themselves in the mother
class.
Of course, there are others who pro-
| test the doctors non-action, but at the
same time there are many well mean
| ing persons who approve, and they
appear to be in the majority, especial
ly among the surgical profession
But all this naturally brings up the
subject of the right or wrong involved
in such practice, which has been a
matter for discussion for centuries.
Should acts of this character be-
come common, who is going to sit in
judgment upon whom the doctors
shall permit to die where assistance
would save life?
Who will sit in judgment upon the
line of demarkation between the fec
tive and defective?
Who will positively know that many
little unwelcome trangers born to this
earth were not mental Weaklings be-
cause surgeons refused CD to operate?
1t would appear that the Chicago
case lowered the bars to those who
have advocated the elimination of the
mentally weak or permanently de-
formed, and probably they rejoice; but
in the cases which are to follow-and
the precedent is established-the out
come will surely result in murder,
which is going to call for more dras-
tic condemnation then now is recog-
nized by both state and church.

WHAT ABOUT THE INFANT?

Under the very effective protection
resulting from the war a new and i'm
portant industry is incubating in this
country. The manufacturer of dye
stuffs is conceded to be possible and
profitable undertaking The incuba-
ton has gone far enough to result in
one concerns purchasing 100 acres OF
land on which to build a dyestuff fac
tory. 1t is generally recognized, how
ever, that this concern is taking lone
chances
Why? Because the end of the war
that may come at any time within
the next two years-will end the pro-
lection, and, given a democratic. presi-
dent and a congress of like politics
the markets OF the United States will
be open to the revived dyestuff indus
tries of Germany. Inundated by the
our infant will drown.
Secretary Redfield has an answer to
this grave doubt, but it is not the an
swer that will satisfy the country The
secretary of commerce proposes to
save the infant by devious methods.
Instead of walling out the flood from
overseas, he suggests that it may be
mOpped up by proceedings instituted
in the courts, under the trade COM
mission law, against those concerns
that purchase the foreign product.
The proposal needs merely to be
stated to make it's injustice and alb
surdity obvious. With what fairness
can the government, controlling our
ports of entry, permit the free impor-
tation of foreign dyestuffs and then
penalize it's own citizens for buying
them? Why should the infant indus
try be put to the tedious and costly
work of fighting such purchases
through the courts when the possibili-
ty of them can be stopped by a tariff
sufficiently high to make the sale of
the foreign commodity improbable?
1t is this unintelligent worship of a
party fetish that stamps the democ-
racy as impossible when big questions
of national policy must be faced. Ira
ditionally, the democratic party be-
lieyes in the open door to the foreign
producer. Actually, the democratic
party-represented by Mr.. Redfield-
sees great opportunity for fostering
a new and important industry at home

If the American producer and the
foreign producer should both be as
sured that free trade would be the
permanent policy of the United States,
one of two things would happen
either the American workman would
come very close to the foreign stand
ard Of wages and living, or he would
cease to produce articles which can
be produced by foreigners Forum
ately, both Americans and foreigners
know that free trade is only tempo
rary policy and that within a very
short time the American people will
resume command of their own mar
kets. Hence, the American producer
does not give up his industries nor
does the foreigner make the large in
vestments that would be necessary to
supply our markets fully. We merely
curtail our expenses, cut out luxuries
live economically, maintain bread lines
and take advantage Of the partial re-
lief afforded by foreign war.

AS a result of the war, we have
became great creditor nation" says
the Portland (Oregon) Journal, dem
ocratic newspaper. The usual prac-
tlce is to boast or our commercial sta
tus and assume that it is a healthy,
normal condition upon which conf
,dence can be placed. The admission
that the war made us creditor ma
ton carries with it the practical ad-
mission that the close of the war will
end our advantage and, within a short
time, make us a debtor. That is ex-
actly what will happen unless we en-
act a tariff law that will have the
same effect as the war in shutting out

were 1929, 461 ,907. Republican pro-

William Jennings Bryan is a good
illustration Of man possessing the
confidence of large following, finally
wearing out the patience and trust of
the very men who have backed him.
He is great talker and a small doer;
and is most seriously lacking, like all
great takers in that constructive COM
mon sense that marks all true states
men. Bryan has talked himself to
death politically. AS the old farmer
said: Give that calf rope enough and
he will choke himself to death. JEFF

INA, ranking member of the house
committee on rules, referring to a
conference with the president, says :
L told the president that it was sig
nlficant that two living former presi-

differed on many subjects, were to-
gether on the question of national pre-
paredness." And yet the democrats
having been driven to the espousal of
preparedness by republican criticism,
are now trying to make it national
issue.
