A Surrender of Principle.

The railroad companies were willing
to arbitrate all the mems demands
without presenting any of their own
offsetting claims They were further
willing to have President Wilson name
all of the arbitrator. But the brother
hoods were obdurate and would arbl
trate on no terms whatsoever. Presl-
dent Wilson seems to have been great
ly impressed by the calamity that the
country would suffer if the brother
hoods actually went out on strike. He
tried to persuade the railroad presi-
dents to concede the eight-hour basis,
in order to avert this calamity. They
stood firmly, however, for arbitration
as against the yielding to ''hold up. .
1t was the Presidents golden oppor.
tunity to speak firmly and strongly for
arbitration. If he had done this, there
would not, in our opinion, have been a
strike. But even if strike had been
attempted, it would have been fiat
failure, because wholly without shadow
of excuse, and condemned by an out
ragged public The men were not act
ing in the interest of labor; much less
in the interest of unionism. 1t was a
sad spectacle to see the great organ
izations that had once been led by
wiser men, thus dominated by head
strong and arbitrary counsels. 1t was
not question of the reasonableness OF
the things the men desired, but of the
methods to be used in obtaining them.
Nor was it the railroad companies that
were being held up, but the American
public as q whole. There was nothing
requiring especial haste. The issue:
involved could await thorough investi
cation. From Review of Reviews fol

of Fulton.
The object of this movement is for
mutual help and instruction along all
lines that tend toward better social and
economic conditions in the surrounding
community.
Particular attention is being given to
instruction, information and discussion
of questions pertaining to better farm

SANITARY MILK PLANT

Score Card Used by Dairy Inspectors
Should Be Posted Where 1t Can

During the rush Of business the i'm
plant is often temporarily overlooked.
AS reminder of points often neglect
ed in this way, score card, such as
is used by dairy inspectors in scoring
city milk plants, should be posted
where it can be easily seen by the
employees who, by studying it, can
learn wherein they are lacking, from
the inspectors point Of view. The
dairy division of the bureau Of ami
NAL industry Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture will send a
sample score card on request.
Many of the items on the card are
self-explanatory, but there are some
details in milk-plant sanitation which
are not given on any score card. II

crete floors are very satisfactory, for
they can be flushed often with wa

if properly constructed there will be
no cracks in which dirt can collect.

NO CURE FOR ALFALFA WILT
Unlikely That Any Remedy for Dis
ease Can Be DeveIoped-Rotation
of Crops Is Advised.

For wilt, a common disease Of the
alfalfa plant in the West, there is no
known remedy. According to experts
of the Oregon experiment station it is
unlikely that any practical remedy can
be developed, owing to the nature OF
the disease. Where it becomes seri-
Gus rotation of crops is advised. Wilt
is most prevalent on heavy soils, par
ticularly where drainage is slow.
This disease has been reported in
New York and California and has re-
Gently been identified in certain sec.
tons of Oregon. 1t is most serious
where the stand Of alfalfa is heavy
and spreads fastest in the fall, when
the surface soil is constantly wet. 1t
also attacks clover.
The moisture causes rot to develop
on the stems near the surface of the
soil and this forms a point Of attack
for the wilt disease. A white cotton
like mold grows over the surface OF
the stems and leaves affected. The
roots of the plant are not, however
always destroyed.

Covered MIX Pail.

The pumps and pipes can be rinsed
by pumping water through them inn
mediately after using. They must
then be taken down and thoroughly
washed; this can easily be done if
there are several couplings in the
pipes. All joints and couplings must
be kept tight and free from dirt, rust
and corrosion. Battered and rusty
apparatus or cans afford good lodging
places for bacteria and, being hard
to clean, should not be used.
The pasteurizer is one of the most
difficult pieces of machinery to keep
clean, as the milk sometimes sticks
to the sides and, IL not properly
cleaned, a cooked layer forms on the
inside, which grows worse each day.

Tank for Storing Milk.

watts, pasteurizers, coolers, filters and
other apparatus should be covered to
prevent all unnecessary contact with
the air.
The milk must be kept cool after it
is received at the plant, and not be
allowed to stand long before bottling.
If not used at once the cans should
be put into a refrigerator or the milk
stored in tanks made for this purpose.
These tanks must be in a cool place
or be surrounded with jacket Of ice
water or brine. Strainers or cheese
cloth are more satisfactory and more
easily cleaned than those Of wire
gauze, but the use Of strainers Of any
kind should be avoided as muck as
possible Some dealers strain the
milk after 1t is pasteurized before it
is run into the filter. This may in
crease the bacterial count and fur
thermore is unnecessary If the milk
is properly clarified or filtered before
pasteurizing and If the apparatus Is
clean.
A filter of cheesecloth and cotton,
If used. must be changed several
times during the day. The cheese
cloth must be washed, sterilized and
kept where the air is pure. 1t can be
used few days before throwing away,
but the cotton, Of course, should be
used only once. AS soon as the milk
is put up all parts of the apparatus
should be thoroughly cleaned by first
rinsing in cool water, then washing
with hot water to which washing pow
der has been added, and finally steril-
lied with boiling water or steam.

Now is the demi-season of our discon-

there is nothing new in blouses for
winter wear and nothing certain about
those for spring. But she who finds

and that is that her new blouses are
still to be of sheer materials.
With the incoming of each season

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away I'll the stomach, Iiv-

fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly
moro important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C.
emulation Of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,

before breakfast, act on the stomach,

Silage as Winter Ration.

Investigations at the Missouri
experiment station show conclu-
sively that cattle can be win
tered economically on a ration
made up largely of silage, &C
cording to r. B. Mumford, dean
Of the college Of agriculture,
University of Missouri.
In one experiment ration Of
corn silage and clover hay with
out grain fed to yearling cattle
for $50 days resulted in a gain
Of 200 pounds for the feeding
period of $50 days, at total
cost of SLIGO, or a cost of 5.5
cents pound of gain, as COM
pared with total cost Of $15.-
rs, and 7.8 cents a pound, when
a similar lot of cattle was fed
on six pounds OF shelled corn
per head per day and clover
hay.
These results have been con.
firmed in other experiments,
which all point to the conclu-
sion that when silage consti-
tutes the major portion of the
ration fed to wintering stock
cattle the cost Of wintering is
much reduced.
