PUTTING Vt UP TO MR.. HUGHES

The authors OF the Democratic Text
book for 1916 manifest considerable
curiosity to know what Mr.. Hughes
thinks about number Of things. It
is quite noticeable that the Republi-
can candidate has failed to make his
position plain in regard to most of the
matters pertinent to the present cam
paign, apparently being too busy find
ing fault with President Wilson to
state his own views definitely. The
public is still anxiously awaiting light
on the following questions which the
Democratic leaders have checked up
to him:
Do you favor a repeal Of the Federal
Reserve Act?
Would you have protested against
the violation Of the neutrality of Bel
gium and have backed the protest by
plunging America into the European
carnival of slaughter?
DO you favor repeal OF the Rural
Credits Act?
Would you have recognized Huerta
as president of Mexico?
DO you favor repeal of the Clayton
Antitrust Act?

tive and expensive land now held by
the State for the purpose Of working
for the acquisition of additional wild
wood lands adjoining or adjacent to
the present State property in Sun

senate. Efforts were made to SO
switch the intent Of the bill as drawn
al to require the commission to be ap-
pointed to purchase land elsewhere
than in the delta, but the only effect CT
these amendments was to afford OPP
%portunity for a prolonged and

The bill is the outcome OF a recent
inspection by the p~enitetntiary conf

percentage Of the convict population
there we're actually loafing half their

PROPER CARE OF THE CREAM
Clean Milk Cannot Be Produced Un
der Unsanitary Conditions
Small-Top Bucket Favored.

By c. A. BURNS. Department of Dairy
Husbandry. Oklahoma Agricultural Col
lege.)
The care OF cream should begin be-
fore the cows are MIXED.
1t is quite an evident fact that it is
next to impossible to produce clean
milk under unsanitary conditions,
where the surroundings are anything
clean and careful.
Naturally a COW is a cry clean ami
NAL, and if given proper surroundings
will not show the least inclination to
be otherwise. However, if a COW is
forced to wade through mud and
manure up to her body in order to get
to the watering tank or into the barn
to her feed. how can she be otherwise
than dirty and filthy? If no gutter is
furnished in the COW barn and the
COWS are tied with short halters, moth
ing more may be expected than that
they will be coated with filth every
day.
Cows should be absolutely clean be,
fore they are MIXED, special attention
USIAS given 10 Tue HANKS, lluQQuaTLeTS
and udder. If such precaution is not
taken, dirt, hair and dry, dead skin
from the cows udder are almost sure
to fall into the milk pail during the
process of milking.
The mixer himself, especially his
hands and clothing. should be perfect
ly clean, and the bucket should have a
small top to prevent any hair which
might fall from getting into the milk.
If visible dirt be strained out of the
milk, it simply remains in large meas
ure the index to the filthiness of the
milk to those who do not know I'm.
der what conditions it was produced
The few large hairs and visible pieces
of dirt may be taken out, but the thou
sands and millions of microscopic or
ganisms or bacteria have been previ
ously washed from the hair and pieces
| of dirt and remain in the milk. These
organisms, together with uncontrolled
temperatures at which the milk and
cream are kept, are the chief factors
that enter into the production of poo,
cream.

is young Int unmarried. was return
ing to the school from luncheon. It is
said that trouble resulting from an a r
gument over the separate school dis
trict at Saltillo had been brewing for
some time between the two men. This
was further helped along when Prof.
Witt, the officers declare, administered
a whipping to Thelkalds son.
The shooting began in the rear of
a grocery store. Prof. Witt, who re.
treated to the front and finally onto
the sidewalk, with his assailant in pur'
suit, was shot five times in the back
and shoulders. He fell on the side
walk in front of the store and died
before anyone could reach him. Threl
kald used a pistol of large caliber.
Threlkald afterward gave himself
up to the officers, who brought him
here. He would make no statement
