COOLING MILK IMPORTANT.
Dairy Farmer should store an Alum
dant supply of Ice.

Dairy farmers in localities where natu-
raj ice Is available should make prepare
tons this fall to store an abundant sup
ply Of ice for use next summer. The ice
pond should be cleaned out and the ice
house put in repair before storing COM
mences.
To get milk in good condition to market,
the dairy experts OF the department est-
mate that the farmer should store one
half ton of ice per COW if cream is TO be
produced and two tons per COW il whole
milk ia to he shipped. This quantity, if
properly stored should provide the ice
necessary for dairy and household use
for a year. making due allowance for
melting. Farmers Bulletin 623 Ice
Houses and the Use of Ice on the Dairy
Farm contains valuable and timely in
formation on this subject
Only through the use OF ice can dairy
men hope in warm weather to get their
milk To market with salts fnctoriy low
bacterial count. Cooling with spring or
well water is better than no cooling. but
such water is nor cold enough To chill the
milk to the point where bacteria cease to
multiply rapidly These bacteria which
gain access 20 ne milk during its pro-
duction and handling, multiply surprising
~ as long az the milk is warm. This
causes the milk to sour or to take on un-
desirable Havors and some Of them may
spread disease. Icing milk Oh the farm
therefore, ia highly important even in
moderately cool weather. inasmuch as
much market milk il many hours old be-
fore II is consumed, il also is important
to keep it as cool az possible throughout
its journey from the farm to the dstrlb-
uting point. and the distributor must sec
that it is kept chilled until IT is delivered
TO the housewife.
METHODS or CHILLING MILK.
Never put ice directly into milk The
ice may contaminate the milk and add
water as II mclts.
1t Is not economical to place warm milk
directly in tank Of ice water. The milk
should first be cooled over cooler
through which passes cold running wa
ter from the well or spring. After some
of the heat is removed the milk cans
should be placed In a tank containing ice
and water which should come well up
to the neck of the cans. Frequent stir
ring of the milk with n clean stirrer has
tens the cooling process,
Many tanks waste ice because they arc
| too large for the number of cans chilled
A small tank for cooling one can at n
time may be made from q barrel sawed
to the proper height.
Insulating jackets should be placed
around the cans of chilled milk whenever
milk is TO Undergo n long haul to the sta
ton or be long time in transit. These
jackets will help materially in kecpmg
| it cold until 1t reaches its destination.

Walsh, Myers. Kern. Martin, Swanson, James and Stone to the White House yesterday morning for a sconfeEence on pending legislation.
 He told the Senators that nothing should interfere with the considera- ton of the preparedness measures. He got them ito agree that the Water Power bill, now before the Senate, shoHld wait until the army measure is out of the way. He also suggested some changes in the provisions for the leasing of water power sites on public lands.
 The President indicatedl that he is much interested in the Water Power bill. He hopes it will pass at this session of Congress, but he does not want it to obstruct the national de- fense bills. After the conference with the President, Senator Myers, who has charge of the Water Power bill, said:
 q realize this bill cannot stand in the way of preparedness legislation, appropriation bills or revenue meas ures, but at every opportunity I shall press it. With the heavy legislative programme before us cannot see how Congress will get through before faI.''
 Members of the Ways and Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate are holding daily conferences with a view to reaching an understanding on the provisions of the proposed Revenue Bill to carry out the preparedness programme. Ia
 Representative Hull, who framed the original Income Tax Bill for the House, conferred with Senator Sim mons, Chairrhan of the Finance Com mittee, concerning the plan to read just the Income Tax Law and enact an inheritance tax measure.
 The leaders of the House and Sen ate committees, whose duty it is to provide revenues, have about agreed upon general scheme of taxation. The Income Tax Law will be so read justedl as to bring in an additional revende of $70,0OO,ooO. The inherit ance tax provision will beNso framed as to produce from $40.00O, ,0O00 to $50. .000SO00O.
 A tax on munitions of war and munition manufacturers will be so levied as to produce from $35, 100000 to $45.00Os000.
 If this is not sufficient to meet the demands of the government, a con- sumers' tax on sugar to yield $45,- 900, ,ooo will be levied.
 The House. committee will begin within ten days the consideration of a definite proposition to produce the required revenues ands the de- tails of an emergency bill will be worked out and submitted to the House. For the first time in many years the House committee and Sen ate committee are working together to provide a fair and satisfactory revenue measure.

JUSTICE DECIDES
 FOR OUTLET CO.,
 IN LEASE BATTLE
Third Finding For Defend ant is Obtained in Main,
 Street Dispute.

Two favorable decision in the civil side of the city court and another in l a justice court have been obtained by the Manufacturers Outlet Clothing Co.,. as defendants in a summary pro- cess action brought, by the Mohican CO, owners of the building at Golden Hill and Main streets.

An attempt to have it re- neWed for five years was made last June. was unsuccessful, and as a compromise, a verbal agreement for a one-year lease is alleged to have been made, with an understanding of preference for a continuance. The Mohican Co., according to the defend ant, said the store property might become necessary to them in a year.
 Meanwhile the Mintz Brothers. tenants of the NfoFhcan Co.,, procured a lease for five years on the property tenanted by the Outlet Go. An offer was made by the Mintz Brothers to surrender the lease for, a stipulated sum, which was refused. On the arr rival of Jan. l, 1,'Ssu1nmary process ac- ton was brought by the landlords. They retained Marsh. Stoddard & Day. The Outlet Go. retained DeForest & Klein.
 In "a hearing before Judge Wilder in the city court a, plea in abatement was filed by the defendant because of the failure of the Mintz Brothers to file an adequate bond.
 Judge Wilder upheld the defepd- iaT i17 the city court before Judge Bartlett.

SHAW'S WIDOWS
 GET MORE TIME
 TO PROVE CLAIM
Compensation Commissioner Buckingham Postpones
 Hearing Until April 5.

In order to give two women, both of whom claim to be the legal wives of Walter M. Shaw, time to file their claims, Compensation Commissioner B. 1T. Buckingham today decided to postpone hearing on the case until April 5. Shaw was a conductor for the Connecticut Go. and was killed at Ash Creek when another. car caught him and crushed him against his car as he was changing the trolley pole.
 Sally Elizabeth Hobbs of Norfolk, Va, who has three children, claims his estate as his widow. So does Rosa lind Stevens Hewlett of Providence, R. I. Attorney J. M. Murphy repre- ser1ts the latter. and Attorney Clarence E. Ha1A of this \city has been retained by the father of the Norfolk woman. Afhdavits which tend to show that Shaw was married to Sally Elizabeth Hobbs. and never divorced from her, but that she had him arrested for non-support in Elizabeth City, N. C., and at that time alleged undue farnil- iarity with a woman named Rosa Howlett'' are part of the testimony all ready submitted to the compensation commissioner.
 Members of the local trolleymen's union have started an investigation in order to establish which woman may be the legal claimant of compensa-' ton or the estate of the dead man.
