Feeders Should Beware Of
Inferior Concentrated
Feeding Stuffs.

Missouri has no feed stuffs law
and without such a law there is
no means OF protecting the users
of concentrates against inferior
or adulterated feeds. The pre-
sent high price Of feed stimulates
the introduction OF inferior grades
on the part Of the unscrupuloua
manufacturers.
The Missouri College OF Agri-
onlturs has recently examined
four samples Of feeds which
would indicate the nature OF some
of the adulterations.' Two SAM
pies OF cottonseed meal showed
less than 20 per cent protein, and
81 and 26 per cent respectively
of crude fiber. A choice cotton
seed meal should run over forty
per cent protein and not exceed
nine per cent of crude fiber. A
cold pressed cottonseed cake OF
meal, which is the residue from
the extraction Of the oil from th'
entire seed (meat and huilsl con
tains about 25 per cent protein
aud 20 or 20 per cent FIBER. Th'
two samples referred to indicat'
that more than the amount 0
i hulls which should belong witt
the original seed is present.
The best grade Of molasses fee

equal weight Of canesugar mo

USELESS FEAR or BACTERIA
Authority Says People Are Allowing
Themselves to BE NeedIessIy Wor-
ried Over the subject.

% y i VI -
To timid individuals q recent arti-
Gle In the Journal Of the American
Medical association on bacteria on
Paper Money and Books" may bring
comfort. M
The Sun has endeavored to present
only the most reliable scientific as-
pect Of the subject Of germ diseases,
because the usual hasty generaliza-
tions Of science and baseless asser.
tions which continually appear in print
under the guise Of scientific authority
sooner or later rebound to the dis
credit Of real progress. An unwar-
ranted skepticism Is aroused and the
distrust Of an obvious misstatcment
unconsclously becomes magnified into
q reactionary Indifference to the better
contributions Of scientific men. The
championship Of half or conjectured
truths inevitably acts In the course of
time as a barrier to the very objects
which are sought In public reforms,
for In the end truth always prevails.
Some Years ago the Sun called at
tentlon to the erroneous idea that tu-
berculosis may be contracted by per-
sons using the telephone mouthplece
which has been used by many others.
We showed that the postmaster gener-
al Of Great Britain had the mouth
pieces on the telephone under his con-
troll examined bacteriologically, with
the result Of no disease germs being
discovered upon them. The Journal
comments upon the popular opinion Of
a few years ngo that the handling Of
soiled paper money was extremely dan
gerous on account of the bacteria that
may adhere to 1t. The fact is that
bank tellers do not share this aversion,
nor do they present evidence OF ex-
ceptlonal liability to infectious dis.
eases. It has been positively ascer.
tained and published in the Popular
Science Monthly that paper money con
stitutes an unlmportant factor In the
Transmission Of disease. While clear
paper money satisfies our estheti,
sense, 1t has not been proved thai
soiled money is likely to become me
dium of disease transmission.
With regard to books. It Is the Gus
tom to dlsinfect them, when soiled, b,
exposure to sunlight and air, but II |
fact that the hygienic laboratory 0
Johns Hopkins has not found germs 0

ing from homes in which children ha
been suffering from this disease. Tn
fact is that the majority Of bacteri
found on books are the same as thos
found In atmospheric air, and that tn
colon bacterium, which is frequentl
found on the hands of schoolchlldren
has rarely been found on the book
they handle. There Is really no ma
terlal risk involved In the reissue o
books recently read by consumptives
unless the books are obviously soiled
and even then the risks are very slight
Since, however, bacteria like tn,
typhoid and diphtheria organism hav,
been occasionally discovered on nrti
! ficially infected books, there may b
good reason for subjecting all returne'
books to direct sunlight before redis
tribution.

money and books IL no more oDvieu
than the danger from the mouthpiec
