Grinnell, Iowa. Feb. !. President

dozen children. several Of whom fell
Under the train and between the rails.
They were dragged out unhurt before

Is peculiar. and produces almost SINH
lar results. whether the temper of his
hearers IL friendly or hostile. II gen
eral II may be said that he speaks over
the heads of his audiences. There ~
little eloQuence. none Of the arts Of the
demagoguc. and only occasionally a
sentence which carries a direct emo
tional appeal
Words Sink Into Mind.
So the audiences are always "cold.'
The applause and cheering come infre-
quently and do not last long. The audi
ence Is never for moment carried OF
its feet deeply stirred or Wis
IDLY moved Whatever emotion Il has
is suppressed, and il listens quietly and
with the closest attention.
Yet there is very real effect pro-
duced The Presidents words stick.
As he has come West they have been
sticking more and more. His sem
fences arc shorter and more easily
understood. HIS statements are less
involved and a little less qualified; he
has even told q story once. He IL not
becoming a popular speaker, but he Is
getting 20 his hearers in a way that he
did NOT 90 az the start.
Thus the man who fails 10 get a
thrill out OF the Presidents address
nevertheless finds that much OF il has
stayed with him. He is more likely 20
find his mind changing for some time
than TO experience any sudden CONVEX
sion.
But in the country through which the
President has come il can fairly be said
he has won more friends for prepared
ness than for himself. His solemn
warnings Of real and near danger. the
very fact that he has changed within a
year, the quiet earnestness of his ap-
peal all have gone far toward gain
ing support for his new policy.
Even i'm the "hyphen" cities this has
been true. And the friends he has won
are the kind who may be expected to

should be noted that the "hyphen' is

MISS RANKIN STIRS SENATE.
Her Election to House May Cause
Change in Floor Privileges.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The first
important act of the senate when the
new congress meets will be to consider
the necessity of change of its stand
ing rules to carry out the traditional
courtesy of permitting members of the
house to enjoy the privileges of the
senate floor.
The explanation is the election of
Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana. The
rules as now enforced do not permit
women on the floor except on those ex
traordinary occasions when a public
funeral service is being conducted il
the senate chamber for a senator.
Miss Rankin will he the first woman
ever to enjoy the privileges of the
floor on any other occasion.

there have been many others. and the
method Of scoring the exhibits has
gradually been improved. Under the
present system out Of a total possible
score of 100 points IS are allowed for
the bacterial count. IS for the flavor
and odor of the milk, 10 for the alb
sence OF visible dirt. 10 for percentage
Of fat. 10 for percentage of solids not
fat. 3 for acidity and for the appear
ance and condition of the bottle and
cap.
To obtain a perfect score for the bac-
terial count the milk must contain
less than 500 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter. A bacterial count above the
local legal limit results In a score OF
D. The deductions from the possible
score Of % for flavor and odor are
made according to the conditions
found. This Is also true of the ex-
animation for visible dirt. For this
the milk Is allowed to remain for
some time undisturbed and the bottom
Is then examined very closely for the
slightest movable speck. Four per
cent or more Of fat In the milk results
In a perfect score Of 10. less than 81
per cent I'm o. To obtain a perfect
score for the solids not fat the per
centage must be 81 or more, and less
than rs per cent Is counted o. In the
case of cream there Is no credit for
solids not fat. and the percentage Of
Tat counts 20 points instead Of 10. To
obtain a perfect score for acidity the
percentage must be OF or less. More
than O.24 per cent is counted o.
The same score card Is now being
used for market milk and for certified
milk. but in most Of the contests those
who compete In the certified class are
lot allowed to enter samples In the
market class.
The educational value Of these con-
tests Is indicated by the fact that al
most invariably dairymen who have
had experience In such competitions
obtain higher scores than those who
have not On the other hand. the con-
,ests are used also to point out to con-
Iumers the fact that clean milk IL
more difficult and expensive to pro
| luce than dirty milk

Farmers lost annually s45,000,-
600 from bad methods Of producing
and handling eggs. One-third of
this loss is preventable, because IL
is due to the partial Matching Of fer
tile eggs which have been allowed
TO become warm enough TO begin
TO incubate.
"You can save the si5,OO0,OOO now
lost from blood rings by keeping
the male bird from your flock after
the Matching season is over. The
rooster does not help the hens lay.
He merely fertilizes the germ Of the
egg. The fertile germ in hot wealth
er quickly becomes a blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food mar
ket. Summer heat has the same
effect on fertile eggs as the hen or
incubator.
"Infertile eggs will not grow
blood rings. After the Matching sea-
son cook, sell or pen your roost-
er. Your hens not running with a
male bird will produce infertile eggs
quality eggs that keep best and
market best.
Exhibits Reach Clear To Feathers.
Eleven enlarged cuts of eggs Dor
der the proclamation. These show
the fertile egg after twenty-four
hours, with the germ beginning to
hatch, on through the blood-ring
stage, the embryo chick stage and,
at the end Of seven days, the pin
feather stage. The infertile egg SUBJ
jected to the same temperature re-
mains wholesome, as shown by cor
responding photographs.
Heat is the great enemy Of eggs,
both fertile and infertile," the poster
concludes. Farmers are urged TO
follow these simple rules, which
cost nothing but time and thought
and will add dollars TO the poul-
try yard returns: Keep the nests
clean; provide one nest for every
four hens. Gather the eggs twice
daily. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry
room or cellar. Market the eggs
at least twice a week. Sell, kill or
confne all male birds" The BAN
ishment of the rooster will con-
tinue until late next winter.
