THE DAIRY PRODUCTS

Too much cannot be said to impress
the dairyman with the Importance of
strict sanitation around the dairy, says
the Iowa Homestead. Since the dairy
products are used for human consump-
ton 1t behooves us to be very careful
and put out just as clean product as
Is possible. .n1. .s..s-.s
It is more difficult to practice perfect
sanitation with the dairy in summer
than winter. One feature that should
be controlled as far as possible is the
flies. It is almost an impossibility to
milk COW where the flies are swarm
ing around without having one drop In
the milk. We can't tell just how much
damage one fly might do to bucket of
milk.
Another thing to guard against
through the summer season is filthy
drinking water for the cows. A large
per cent of milk is made up of water.
For that reason we should be very
careful about the drinking water we
are giving the cows. It is true that q
COW will often drink in stagnant hole
Of water in preference to clean water,
but this should not be allowed. If
there is not running water in the COW
pasture or clean pond water she should
be watered from a well or cistern.
The cows should be kept brushed
and the long hairs trimmed from the
udders. One hair in the milk will

Screen the Cow Stall.

A thing that viii add to the cleanli-
ness Of the milk is screened milking
stall. Some will say this is spreading
on" too much, but really it's only q
little trouble and expense and adds
greatly to the comfort of the COW as
well as the healthfulness of the milk.
AL the openings In the stall can be
screened In or the windows could be
covered with mosquito netting that
would last one season, and the cost
would amount to very little. The COW
should be turned in there to milk. and
both the COW and mixer would be
more comfortable, to say nothing OF
added cleanliness of the milk.

In the demand for reasonable

ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later, under
the pressure Of other leader
ship. this attitude was changed.
The Administration, it was
said, had learned something"
and it made a beleted demand
for an increased army. Even
then, the demand was not prose-
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
cation are due to the System"
But It was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years, with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectif1ed. The Adj
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. Ap-
parently, 1t Is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by Its
naval program. But 1t has Inn
posed upon the country an In
competent naval administration.

Cannot Resist Fire.

Not a telephone line can resist the
ilcessant bombardment that digs up
the soil and levels all field work along
the whole front of this fortress; con-
sequently to assure communication
between the front and the rear is a
difficult problem. Communications by
carrier pigeons are very uncertain
ard optical signals are insufficient for
various reasons. Nothing is certain
excepting the man himself and to
transmit information and orders
across that beaten field requires
something extraordinary in the way
of man. He must be an athlete with
good lungs and above all, he must
have a stout heart.
The courier of Verdun is unable 10
use the communicating trenches
where ne would be out of sight of the
enemy because that line is crowded
always with soldiers going to or from
the front line, with wounded being
carried back, with men of the COM
missary department carrping provis-
ions to the men on guard. That is too
slow a route for the courier of YER
dun; he must take his chances of be-
ing sighted-and hit-above ground.

POINT RAISED that
LORD KlTCHNER MAY

Is Lord Kitchener alive?
Was the story of his tragic death
gigantic hoax intended to deceive
Germany?
Is Kitchener's hand at this mo-
nent secretly directing the tremen-
dous simultaneous pressure being
directed aginst the Teutonic alliance

Caucasus, and the French and Brit
ish in France?
Runners of the most sensational
sort are running the length and
breadth of England to the effect that
Kitchener lisa live.
The question was actually raised in
the house of commons July 6, by Sir r.
Cooper, and a bare paragraph crept
into single London paper on this in
cident.
But no report of it was permitted by
the cable censor to get to the outside
world.
Financial Secretary Mcnamara re-
piled to the Cooper question, saying
that an inquiry was held Immediately
after the news OF the Hampshire sink
ing, with Lord Kitchener aboard, was
received in order that the survivors
could be got together No further in

would serve no useful purpose.

"crum fire. where S-inch, 6-inch and
4-inch shells are bursting with for
midable explosions, sending showers
of shrapnel over the whole zone. In
going through this ordeal, the courier
sees everywhere the spectacle of
death, stumbles over corpses, some
times runs into a cloud of poison
vapor before he has crossed it; once
through, he is within range of the
smaller German guns and the quick
frers.
During the whole distance of a mile
or two miles, according to the posi-
ton, his nerves are at the highest
tension, with his mind on the end of
his mission and at the same time on
the obstacles that are multiplied each
instant in his path.
Life is Very Uncertain.
Some of these couriers get through
untouched, others crawl back to the
starting point bruised or manned.
Some of them never come back to tell
the story of their heroic effort.
The couriers of Verdun maintained
communication from the rear with the
heroic troops under the orders of

142nd infantry and a machine gun
section of the 53rd-who held the
Fort of Vaux several days against

account of my mission" He made his
report and that was the end of his
service for his country.
Risks Are Very Great.
The risks are so great for these

.SNIDER BACK AFTER
MISSING MARK FOR
JULY Predictions

Prof. Albert Snider, the weather pro-
phet with a reputation, hailing from
Griffin, gives out his hope" on Aug
ust in his official organ, which is the
Griffin News and Sun. He says:
Although he slightly missed it in
predicting that the month Of July
would be dry and hot, Prof. Albert L.
Snider, Griffin's celebrated weather
Prophet, is not down and out by any
means. He is still in the weather pre-
dieting business, and there are those
who still have faith in what he says.
He has been correct in most of his
representations, and that he knows
something worth while about weather
conditions none who know him will
deny.
Mr.. Snider says the month of Aug
ust will be hot and wet, for there
will be many heavy showers with
thunder storms. He says there will
be some fair periods, but that the gen.
eral outlook is much rain.
Great Comet Coming.
The weather observer announces
also that Prof. Wolf discovered a comet
last April four hundred thousand
miles away, which is a giant, and
which is now approaching the earth.
He advises Griffinites to look out for
ii. He says it will be visible to the
naked eye in May or June, 1917, and
that it will be brilliant object.
Hard Winter in Sight.
Mr.. Snider announces, too, that ths
coming fall will be a late one and says

tenth of November. According to the
planetary outlook, says the Griffin
prophet, the coming winter will be a
hard, long, cold one. Great sleet
storms and heavy snow storms may be
looked for over various sections that
will reach far into the South.
Mr.. Snider says that we may look
for snow storm during the last week
in December, followed by q sweeping
cold wave. He askes all to remember
his long range prediction for Christ
mas day, which he declares will be
fair and very cold.
