REASONS FOR CREAM
THAT WON'T CHURN
Sometimes Due to Bacteria That
Get Into Milk Utensils
Cause of Tainted Milk.

There is no satisfactory explanation
that always holds good for cream that
foams up and makes about twice its
former bulk and is finally thrown away
in disgust after the housewife has
churned it for hours without the
slightest sign of butter. Sometimes
it is due to certain bacteria that may
get into the milk utensils or into the
cream.
More often it is some organic Pc
culiarity of the cow herself and mani
tests itself usually after the first half
of the tactical period. Where the cow
has freshened again the trouble may
never reappear or it may become
chronic, in which case the cow should
be sold
Tainted milk is often traced to feed
or some kind Of weeds or grass the
cow is eating and sometimes to fla
yors and odors absorbed from the air
at milking time or in the milkhouse or
cellar. The exact cause or these
things is impossible to determine at
a distance and sometimes a skilled OBJ
server right on the ground cant
find it.

DEATH OF CHICKENS
LAID TO ROSE BUGS
Expert of Connecticut Station
AccumuIates Data to JUS
tify Accusation.

The New Jersey station advises that
for many years rose bugs have been
accused of causing the death of chick
ems by poisoning. Recently G. 81. Lam
son Of the Connecticut station has ac-
cumulated data to show this accusa-
ton is justified. Mr.. Lamson used at
least $50 chickens of various ages in
his experiments. He fed these birds
either with the rose bugs or with an
extract prepared by soaking their
crushed bodies in distilled water. 1t
was found that from Is to 20 rose
bugs were sufficient to kill a chicken
one week old, that 25 to 40 killed the
three-weeks-old birds, and that the ten
weeks-Old specimens were rarely de-
stroyed by the maximum number they
would consume. 1t was also found
that small chickens died within few
hours after being fed on the extract.
Older chickens of greater weight, when
fed a small quantity of the extract,
lived but showed signs of poisoning.
Larger doses resulted in their death.

use of legume crops. He says:
"a vast number of American farmers
are making their homes on impover-

working capital. The outstanding fac
tors in profitable farming, in such
cases, consist in a study of what to do
with what they already have.

competence sufficient to provide for
the education of his children. The
only opportunity for the farmer To-
Gated ON poor land, having no capital
to speak of, is to substitute his time
and labor for capital. His first prob
lem is to develop soil fertility. The
only known broadly applicable method
of making poor land rich without ex-
tensive capital is through legumes and
sod crops. Many farmers are not
able to buy legume seed. In practi-
cally all regions, however, some class
of legume seed can be home grown,
and from the very small quantity re-
quired to seed say one acre, the poor
land farmer can, in a short time, be
producing enough seed to supply his
whole needs. He can, in many cases,

OVERCOME WEAKNESS
OF LEGS In CHICKS
Trouble in Young Fowls Generally
Caused by Too Much Protein
or Excessive Heat

Leg weakness in chickens is caused
by feeding the young chicks too much
protein or by too much heat in the
brooder, according to w. A. Lippincott,
professor of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State agricultural college. 1t
is somewhat similar to ricketts, in chill
dren.
In case the brooder is oyerheated,
reduce the temperature but not to a
degree that will make the chicks I'M
comfortable. In case the difficulty is
caused through excess of protein, in
crease the ash by feeding oyster shells.
Leg weakness Is generally overcome
when conditions are changed by proper
feeding methods.

TAKES OVER
WELSH COAL FIELDS
Breaks Deadlock Between
Miners and Owners In
Interest Of Realm

London, Nov. 30-Leaders Of the mine
workers were apparently dumbfounded
today over the governments sudden de-
termination to take over the Welsh coal
fields tomorrow, under the defense of
the realm act.
Whether there will be any serious OPP
position to the move, made necessary
by trade dispute which threatened
continuance of full supply from the
South Wales mines, depends upon the
governments attitude toward the de-
mand Of miners for 10 per cent in
crease in wages. The Federation OF
Miners will meet Monday to consider
the situation.
Owirg to a deadlock between the min
ers and the owners, the government was
convinced that naturalization of the
mines was the only thing that could pre-.
vent disastrous strike at this critical
stage of the war. A special commit.
tee. made up from representatives of
the home office, the board Of trade and
the admiralty, will, under the new plan,
take control of the mines.

SALEM BANKS MAKE
SPLENDID Showing
Nearly 100000 More On
Hand Than A Year Ago
Of Salem Money

Judging from the bank statements
issued few days age, some folks in
Salem or vicinity must have abundant
reason for giving thanks today. The
-four banks in Salem have on deposit
exactly $SS0,254.62 more than they had
one year ago.
And there is suspicion that the
farmer is the men who is piling up
this extra amount of not far from a
million dollars compared to that they
had one year ago.
With everything the farmer had this
year yielding big crops and high prices
for all his products, the farmer just
could not dodge prosperity.
In the four Salem banks, the total
deposits are $5,354, 1881. One year ago
they were $4,474, ,4S0.59. With almost
five and half millions deposits in
the city banks, it is pretty evident
that some folks are not suffering to
any great extent from hard times. And
every man may work this winter and
there is plenty to do. Two years ago,
the Salem Social Service Center and
Commercial club were doing their best
to find work for the many unemployed
and George +. Rodgers had establish
ed the home on Ferry street for the
great army of unemployed.
The statements of the banks Just Is
sued, compared to one year ago are as
follows:
