terminal facilities under public utilities

TRANSIT COMPANY
PREPARES TO FIGHT

Against Union Officials Pro.
noting Sympathy Strike,
ALLIED UNIONS VOTING

New York, Sept. lo,--Whilc labor
leaders were perfecting plans for a
sympathetic walkout by $4,000 work
crs to aid the striking railway meti,
officials Of the Interborough Rapid
Transit company, against which the
fight is principally directed, discussed
today the possibility of instituting ac-
ton charging conspiracy against the
union leaders.
Business men and merchants who
have suffered heavily because of the
traction tieup are said to be cooper
ating in the movement to restrain the
labor leaders. James L. Quackenbush.
general counsel for the 1nterborough,
said in this connection that his assis-
tants are collecting evidence of the
transaction of the union leaders and
that when Sufficient cumulative evil
dence had been secured and conditions
so demand, action will be taken"
Mr.. Quackenbush said he was cer-
tain his company could obtain all in
junction restraining the strikers and
their leaders from interfering with the
loyal employees of the Interborough in
the event such course is deemed ad-
Nisable.
Unions Are Voting.
Several trade unions voted today
for the purpose of determining their
response to the call for a sympathetic
strike to back up the striking street
car employees. By Monday labor lead
ers expect to learn the sentiment of
the longshoremen, teamsters, tide
water boatmen, coal bargemen, sta
tionary engineers and firemen. They
assert 10000 men will be called out.
The union leaders announce the ma
jority of the members of the machin-
lists union, totalling $4,000, have voted
to strike.
Should the longshoremen, boatmen
and coal barge workers go out the
strike leaders say virtually all work
along the water front will be tied UP.

CLEAN DAIRY VESSELS
Wash Separately and Keep Them
Away From Dust.
Into Hot Water Put Some Good Aka
line Wash Powder-Avoid Use of
Soap as 1t May Leave Dis
agreeable Taste.

(By J. NJ. BURGESS. Associate Professor
of Dairyng, Clemson Agricultural Col
lege)
pail, bowl, or other vessel that is
used for milk should not be used for
any other purpose. 1t should be washed
separately from other vessels and kept
away from dust.
Wash all dairy vessels in warm water
first, then in water as hot as the hands
will stand Into this hot water put
some good alkaline wash powder Do
not use soap, as it may leave taste.
After washing thoroughly with the
hot water and washing powder, wash
well with clean hot water and put the
vessel in the bright sunshine. If it is
possible, it should be steamed, but sun
shine will kill germs as well as steam
will.
In washing dairy vessels, 1t is much
better to use a brush than Il cloth. A
brush can itself be kept cleaner and
can also clean the corners of vessels
much better than cloth.
1t is poor business to buy low-priced
tinware. Buy only the heavy-grade
ware and see to it that vessels have
seams covered with solder. A wooden
handle on milk pail only adds a
place for germs to collect and is hard
to wash.
There is no better strainer than white
cheesecloth. Use of the small-top pail
for milking and white cheesecloth as a
strainer will go far toward insuring
the production of clean milk.

MAKING GAINS WITH CALVES
interesting Experiments Made in Kan
sas With Skim Milk and Young
sters Sucked by Dams.

1t is difficult, with any system of
management, to make the stim-milk
calf just as good as the dam-suckled
calf at weaving time, but three months
after weaving. there should be very
little difference between the two.
In fact, in Kansas experiment
skim-miIk calves seemed to have
slight advantage after weaving. One
lot of calves which were fed skim milk
gained an average of 10 pounds daily,
five months previous to weaving, while
the lot running with their dams gained
Is pounds daily during this period
But the feed cost of 100 pounds of
gain was 1928 for the s1im-milk
calves and Sill for the calves running
with their dams. This was when feed
prices and milk prices were much
cheaper than now. At the present
time, the cost of 100 pounds of gain
with the skim-milk calves would be
around $3.50 as compared with about
81 for the calves running with their
dams.
After weaving, the Kansas skim
milk calves made average daily gains
of II pounds, and required, for 100
pounds of gain, only 439 pounds of
grain, while the calves which had run
with their dams made an average daily
gain of pounds, and required for
100 pounds of gain, 475 pounds of
grain

sentiment ut being 50 treated.
At this period, it Is well 70 see that
the colts feet are level and the toes
comparatively short; Il little attention
will prevent the development of crook
ed ankles and unbalanced action later
on. The bony structure is pliahle now,
so that much can be done to remedy
faulty action, which will be impossible
after the bones have hardened and
stopped growing.
1t is absolutely necessary and very
profitable to properly care for the feet
of growing colts. If left TO nature, the
foot does not always grow out full and
strong and of the proper shape. When
the feet are let go, they do not wear
properly, and the result is that the
feet split, become uneven and very of
ten the entire leg may be altered in
form. This is one reason we have so
many bad-footed horses on the streets
of our cities. The blacksmith may get
the blame, but most of the trouble
really began upon the farm. To grow
feet in the proper way, the colts feet
should be looked after at least once a
month
