SEEK TO ENJOIN
PARK BOARD

A number of colored peopl'
were present in Judge Ferns
court Wednesday afternoon OF
the argument on the case of Chas
Fred White ct al VS.. the Spring
field Park Board, E. ID. Mcneil
and James o. Sylvia which was
brought last week to restrain the
defendants from interfering with
plaintiffs in their enjoyment of
the bathing privileges at the Bum
Park Beach.
Attorney B. G. Clanton present
ed the colored peoples side of the
case in a mastery manner. He de-
fined the different kind of rights
and distinguished the one here vi
olated as a civil right, although
his opponent of the opposite race
attempted to confuse the court by
asserting it to be personal"
right. In the light of all the de-
cisions and statutes cited by the
complainants, however, this was
an absurd contention. The civil
rights statute of Illinois defines
the right to be accommodated at,
INNS" restaurants" bath
houses" etc., as civil right, and
Atty. Clanton and Charles Fred
White had numerous other au-
thorities to support their case. So
thorough was Atty. Clanton's pre-
sentation of the contentious of his
race, represented by the complain
ants, that Mr.. Catron, the Park
Boards attorney, was left with
hardly a foothold to stand upon.
His argument was literally riddled
by the hot shot from his colored
adversary.
The matter in controversy arose
out of the refusal on Thursday,
July 9th by E. ID. Mcneil, one of
the concessionairs of the Bum
Park pavilion and bathing beach,
to rent bathing suits or dressing
rooms to White and several others,
or even to allow them to swim in
the lake if they furnished their
own suits. The suit for injunction
was entered to secure them their
rights,
After listening veiy attentively
to the argument on both sides,
Judge Ferns said that he would
render a decision within a few
days, after he had examined the
briefs of the two attorneys.

KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW
Summer siIo Gaining Favor as Source
Of Succulent Feed-Some Grain
Should Be Given.

The summer silo Is gaining favor
rapidly as q supply source of a suf-
ficient amount Of succulent feed. Many
dairy farmers feed silage every day in
the year and especially when pasture
Is not to be had. A small silo built
and filed In the fall to be opened in
July is the most economical method Of
supplying a succulent ration during
short pastures.
Silage left over from winter feeding
may be kept with very little loss un-
I'll midsummer. Cows should be fed
from 40 to. so pounds of sllage each
day. Silage alone does not furnish a
balanced ration so some grain should
be fed, especially to the cows that
give the most milk.
At least one pound Of cottonseed
meal should be included on the daily
grain ration.

SKIM MILK NEEDED ON FARM
Excellent Feed for Calves, Chickens

Every bit of skim milk is needed on the

OF course, II the cream is sold by the

as both buyer and seller are concerned.

FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA
Important That Hay Be Cured SO as
to Save Leaves-Rake Into Wind
rows Before Dry.

/. Two-thirds of the feeding value Of
the alfalfa plant is in the leaves. If
the leaves are lost in curing only one
third Of the feeding value remains.
This makes 1t important that alfalfa
hay be cured so as to save the leaves.
This means that the alfalfa must be
raked into windrows before the leaves
dry or they win fall off. The alfalfa
should be raked into windrows an
hour or two after being cut. This not
only saves the leaves but also keeps

ONE GREAT DAIRY DRAWBACK
Monotony OF Havlnoto Milk Large
Number Of Cows Daily Keeps
Many Men Out OF Business.

The tedious task of hand milking has
been one of the greatest drawbacks
the dalrying industry has had. The
monotony of having to milk a large
number Of cows each day has kept
many men from entering the business
when they might have made great
success Of 1t. Machine mllkinNf not
only feasible, but 1t is pracHcable
there being thousands of cows ma
chlne-milked each day in the country
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1916-09-28

They are milked faster and more gen.
tly than most hand-milked cows.
One man can milk IL to 25 cows an
hour with the proper equipment OF
machine. The speed made depends
more on the operator than on the ma
chine. However. IL you had to hire
one man eight hours each day to dc
the milking, you would get more profit
than you would by taking half
dozen farmhands from the fields an
hour earlier than they should quit
work.
In the past much trouble has been
experienced In getting efficient ma
chimes. Many of the earlier makes left
much milk in the udders TO be re-
moved by hand. Great improvements
have been made In the last few years,
however, and now machines can be had
that will remove practically all the
milk.
