Mr.. Daniels Devotion.

Secretary Josephus Daniels contin-
ues to founder in his loyal attempt to
justify the jumping" Of young Doc
tor Grayson over the heads of profess
sionally ADLER seniors, and thereby help
the president out Of hole. Here is
his latest:
Youth and efficiency go together.
Age, experience and the rule Of SEMI
ority are back numbers"
But Is that true? The Josephus
principle would have cut out Dewey at
Manila, Togo, Hindenburg, Joffre,
kitchener-about all the great COM
manders.
But Of course Josephus Is talking
nonsense in an effort to bolster a bad
case, and well he knows 1t. 1t is fair
to him to say that he originally op-
posed the Grayson appointment, and is
now with pathetic loyalty attempting
the role of scapegoat.

PROBLEM OF WARMING FEED
Barrels and Fresh Manure to
Heat Slop for Hogs.

(By r. c. ASHBY. University Farm, st.
PauL)
A resourceful Minnesota farmer re-
ports that he has solved the problem
of warming the slop-feed for his hogs
Two barrels are placed near the feed
ing troughs and days supply Of feed
is placed in each. The barrels are
heavily banked with fresh manure from
the horse barn. The heating Of the
pile warns the feed in the barrels,
as each days supply stands for "a
hours before using. Whenever neces-
sary the banking is hauled away and
a new supply packed about the bar
rels.
Opinions differ as to the relative ef-
ficiency Of slop-feeding and dry-feed-
ing, but disregarding the matter of ef-
ficiency, some hog raisers prefer slop-
feeding for brood sows in winter for
another reason. In winter hogs do
not drink enough water unless the wa
ter is warm or supplied at frequent
intervals. By mixing water with the
grain the feeder controls the amount
Of water consumed by his hogs.

~ is impossible 10 draw a plan Of a
dairy house that will meet the re-
Quirements Of every individual case. In
order to design plan properly, II Is
necessary to know the size of the herd,
how the product Is to be disposed OF
(whether as whole milk. cream, or
butter), the location of the barn, well,
etc. However, there are Il few general
principles that should be followed In
the building Of any dairy house.
Iocation.-Although the dairy house
should be near enough to the barn to
be convenient, 1t should not be directly
connected with the barn because 1t Is
then likely to be filled with stable
odors which are absorbed by the milk
or cream. II is well to leave an open
air space of six to ten feet between the
barn and the dairy house. Placing the
dairy house on the side of the barn
opposite the barnyard also lessons the
chance of stable odors being absorbed
by the milk. Proper drainage from
the dairy house is important and must
be considered when selecting the loca-
ton.
Construction.-The building material
mny be drop siding. brick, or concrete,
depending upon the investment the
builder desires to make. The Inside
walls should be smooth. Plastered
walls are preferable since board walls
have tendency to rot, especially close
TO the floor. Rotting can be obviated
10 certain extent by plastering the
walls up to n height of about three
feet.
The building should be so parti-
toned that the milk room, wash room,
and boiler room are separate. The
rooms should be well lighted by win
dows, and ventilation should be sup
piled by an opening placed in the cell
ing of each room. Each ventilator
should be fitted with some sort of
damper to regulate Its action.
A solid and impervious floor Is es-
genital. A cement floor meets these
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1917-02-23

sulntion 1t is best to use two layers
and break the Joints in each direction.
A slush coat Of cement plaster should
he put In between the two layers and
the outside, covered with cement pias-
ter. The doors should be tight-fitting
Grid well-insulated. The Ice bunker
should be placed in the upper part Of
the refrigerator and the air shafts
should be so constructed as to obtain
good circulation Of air. The Illus
tration shows the proper method Of
insulating a refrigerator and also the
construction necessary to give the
proper circulation Of air.
The milkroom should have some
sort of cooler for cooling the milk rap
idly to temperature below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit. AS the milk is put Into
the cooler supply can it may be
strained through cotton outing flannel
or through absorbent cotton held be-
tween cheeseclOths.
A separator should be installed elso
for skimming surplus milk or to sup
ply cream for the cream trade.

'lS NOT CONSISTENT
MR.. Will SON HAS GIVEN VOTERS
RIGHT TO MisTRUsT HIM.
His Action In santo Domingo Directly
Contradictory Of His Statement
Made in Explaining His A.
titude Toward Mexico.

Not much news is coming these days
from Santo Domingo. The reason Is
that the Dominican government has
been taken over by American officials
and is operating smoothly. The next
step proposed by the Washington ad-
ministration is the appointment Of q
governor-general for it. as was done
for Cuba under the United States mill

Spain. 1t is the purpose to clean up
the island. to train native officeholders
In their duties. and as fast as they
prove their competency to promote
them to the higher positions tempo
rartly held by Americans.
Nobody hears any objection to this
course Of procedure. Yet President
Wilson. in his Jackson day address in
indianapolis two years ago. made this
emphatic statement in explaining his
attitude toward Mexico: IT hold It as
a fundamental principle that every
people has the right to determine its
own form of ~"vernment. It
Is none OF my business and 1t Is none
OF your business how long they take
In determining It. 1t is none of my
business and 1t is none of yours how
they go about the business"
President Wilson's acts in Santo
Domingo say one thing. His declaration
OF principles In regard to Mexico say
that which is exactly the opposite Of
1t. And the same contradiction be-
tween words and acts, has occurred
not once. but many times In matters
exceedingly important to the country.
That Is one Of the reasons why many
Americans who see much to admire in
Mr.. Wilson cannot repose confidence
In him and are uneasy over the future.

are wage earners. whereby if their ap-
plication for diagnostic services Is ap-
proved by their employers or others
equally responsible, a method OF small
periodic payments will secure for them
the very best diagnostic skill"
The need for such an institution was
first pointed out by DIR. Charles 81.
Mayo in an address before the Catholic
Hospital association of Milwaukee.
Doctor Mayo expressed the opinion
that the one great present day need In
the direction Of hospital advancement
was q hospital devoted exclusively to
diagnosis.

Democratic Tax Habit.

The Democratic majority at Wash
ington is frankly engaged at present in
getting every dollar possible out of
the North and spending it In the South.
1t has already bored hole In the ma
tional treasury deeper than any that
ever existed before. 1t is still boring
away. So long as bonds can be sold
and new taxes enacted. there will be
no halt. Indeed, neither inability to
borrow nor to tax Is likely to mark the
stopping point. 1t seems to be Dem
ocratic habit to increase taxes.

the following purposes the dairy
house Is to serve. namely: Q) selling
whole milk in bulk; ca making butter
or selling cream; and (3) bottling
milk on the farm.
The illustrations shown are designed
for dairies with as many as twenty
five COWS In the herd. For larger
herds 1t may be necessary to build
dairy house having larger dimensions
than those submitted. II 1T Is not In
tended to have the dairy house fitted
with a boiler room and washroom,
1t may be made smaller than suggest
ed by eliminating that part of the
building devoted to such rooms.
Dairy House for Selling Whole Milk
In Bulk.
The milkroom should contain a coil
cooler for cooling the milk as quickly
as possible after 1t Is drawn. The milk
may then be put into eight or ten
gallon cans and set in the cooling
tank, or the preliminary cooling may
be omitted and the cans OF warm milk
placed in the cooling tank. The cool
ing tank may be fitted with water con-
nections so that the milk can be kept
cold by running water, or the tank
may be insulated and fitted with lid
so tSat Ice may be placed In the cool
ing water. The latter Is not necessary
If there Is a good supply of cold water
which will keep the milk at a temper
ature below 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
A hand-separator may be installed
in case of the necessity of skimmIng
surplus milk.
Dairy House for Selling Cream or
Making Butter.
Selling cream necessitates the use Of
centrifugal separator and cooling
tank or refrigerator. Making butter
requires the additional equipment of a
churn, and table upon which to print
and wrap the butter. The cooling tank
may be built of n size depending on
the amount of material to be kept
cool. The cream should be cooled d.
rectly after skimming and kept cool
until it Is delivered or ripened for
churning, as the case may be.
| A gasoline engine may be installed
| in the washroom to furnish power for
separating and churning. If such an
engine is used. the exhaust should be
piped through the roof of the building
in order to avoid the possibility Of the
gasoline flavor being absorbed by the
cream.
Dairy House for 6ottlinq Milk.
| For bottling milk on the farm the
dairy house should be larger and con.
tain more equipment than is required
for the two aforementioned purposes
A double-compartment sink Is convent
ent for washing and rinsing bottles
