At the same time the President
authorized the further statement that
what rendered the situation even more
grave than it had been supposed that
1t was, was the discovery that, while
the President, under his general con-
stitutional powers, could do much of
what he had asked the Congress Ia
empower him to do, it had been found
that there were certain old statutes as
yet unrepealed which raised insuper-
able practical obstacles and virtually
nullifed his power.
Cannot Act in Crisis
The old law referred to by the Presi-
dent was adopted by Congress in 1919
and referred to the resistance of Am
erican merchantmen against the al
tacks of privateers and pirates, but

Postmaster General Burleson, Colonel
E. M. House, Vance C. Mccormick,
chairman of the Democratic National

1t will be noted that the President
referred to the opposition group as
containing eleven Senator's, whereas
thirteen who had opportunity to do so,
failed to sign the manifesto. Senator
Penrose did not sign, but said he would

The amount Of blood which is turn
ed through the cows udder to sup.
ply the milk-secreting cells may ap-
proximately ascertained by the size
of the blood vessels. The blood en-
tiers the udder from the heart, near
the region of the hips. 1t then passes
down through the udder, along the
abdomen just beneath the skin, until
it reaches about midway between the
flank and girth. At this place it
penetrates the abdominal wall and
enters the thorax. The place al
which the blood penetrates the alb
dominal wall may be felt with the
finger. 1t is in some measure in
dicative of the producing cap
acitp of the COW. This opening in the
abdominal wall is called the milk
hole or milk-fountain. Large ire
gular veins are considered a much
better indication of good milking
qualities than small straight veins
The only way that the gland To-
bules may be increased is through Sc
lection and breeding. 1t should at all
times be remembered that the cow is
not mere receptacle into which sc
much food can be introduced, and sc
much milk drawn out.

Earth Roads Need Intelligent Atten-

Remember the admonition of the
President of the United States: If

you must keep on painting it white.
If you don't, it will get black again
and again and finally it will rot all
the way through and perish of neg
lect. If you want to keep good roads
good, you must maintain them, else
they will speedily become bad roads
and all the money and effort and en-
gineering skill expended in their con-
struction will be wasted, worse than
wasted because the man who has a
good thing and doesn't know it sins
against the light. In this world no
sooner is a thing done than it has
to be done over again. Good clothes
begin to wear out as soon as they
are worn, no sooner is a man elected
to Congress if he be provident and
forward-looking man and likes this
sort of work, than he must begin to
build his fences for the next election
two years hence. Everything wears
out, even "favorite sons moth and

country thieves break through and

and is left to take care Of itself. 1t
won't do it. If it is used by the peo-
pie for whose benefit it was con-
structed, it will wear away; if it is
not used by anybody, the clements
wind, rain, storm and sunshine-will
destroy it in time. 1t was not until
hillside ditching, or terracing as it is
more politely and scientifically called,
was discovered as a cure for erosion
on many of the most valuable farms
in the South, that there was anything
like successful work on these neg
lected farms.
1t was not until the Office of Road
Inquiry in the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington was established
in 1893 that even Uncle Sam with all
his steady habite began to take a
practical interest in the public roads
Of the country. How much was lost

Keep Cream Cans Covered

A great part of the value of keep
ing cream cool on the farm and at
the station or creamery is lost if the
cream is exposed to the direct rays
of the sun while being hauled from
the farm to the point of sale. Far
too few people stop to realize the i'm
portance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town.
Expensive iacketed cans are not a
necessity to keep the cream cool In
summer weather just an ordinary
piece of wet burlap thrown over the
cans will keep thetemperature of the
cream as much as 20 degrees below
what it would rise if left uncovered
while being transported over the aver
age hauling distance.

Bacteria Found in Udder

A discovery of especial interest to
dairymen has recently been made by
an Italian scientist named Constan-
tino. In experimenting with the sew
eral bacilli common to milk, he found
new germ which as to do with the
forming Of rennet and the coagulation
OF milk and it thrives especially well
In the milk il left in cows udder at
milking time. When the COW is not
MIXED dry, these acid-forming bac-
terra develop rapidly and set up in
fiammation likely to cause serious
complications.
1t is not an unusual thing for a
poorly MIXED COW to develop a case
of caked udder or mammitis. but the
exact cause of the trouble has not
until the present time been fully un-
derstood. The change in the milk due
to these organisms is entirely diff.
ferent from the change which occurs
in ordinary fermentation and the pre-
sence of the harmful bacteria cannot
be determined by ordinary methods
employed. A special set of fermenta-
ton tests for this purpose have been
devised, and these are Of special
value to the cheese-maker. The
presence of the germs indicates
faulty milking and an unwholesome
condition Of the udder. The discov-

Conditions Affecting Secretions
of MiIk

of Milk
There are a great many conditions
which affect the milking capacity of
a COW. These conditions may be
grouped into two classes according to
their causes: % Conditions which
are controlled largely by man, and
(2) Conditions which are inherent to
the cow.
/. Some Of the chief conditions
which reduce the secretion of milk
and are largely controlled by man
are improper care and treatment of
the cow, lack of proper food, incom-
plete and improper milking, irregular
ity, and long periods between milk
ings. Pregnancy, nervousness or eX-
element of any kind affect the pro-
per working of the milk glands con-
siderably. These latter causes, how
ever, are not always controlled by
man.
2. Without denying the influence of
conditions which chiefly affect the
milk-secreting capacity are inherent.
1t does not matter how much good
care and food a COW receives if she
does not possess the necessary inner
ent qualities. AS was mentioned be-
fore, the milk-secreting capacity de-
ponds upon the number OF gland-lob-
ules, upon the amount of blood which
is supplied to these secreting parts
and upon the capacity of the cow to
digest and assimiliate food.
The number of gland lobules is be-
lieved to increase until the cow is
seven years old. The milk secreting
glands are present only in rudimen-
tary form, until the COW has had her
first calf, or is we'll advanced in the
first stage of pregnacy. The gland
lobules then increase in number up to
the age of about seven. The relative
number of lobules in the cows udder
can only be approximately ascertain
ed The size of the udder in some
measure indicates this. A cow with
large flexible udder is usually a
good mixer, due to the fact that a
large udder usually contains a large
number of gland-lobules.

POULTRY
CONSUL TING DEPARTMENT



The poultry raiser on farm or in
the city who wishes to produce fall
and winter eggs with by-product of
spring "fryers" should begin now to
plan for the early SETTING of eggs,
say poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. In
the States of the extreme South set
tings should be made from the first
Of the middle of February; in the
central group of states, from the early
part to the last Of February; and in
the northern tier of states, from the
latter part of February to the early
part Of April. With settings timed
on this schedule the chicks will hatch
in ample time to allow their maturity
before cold weather. The pullets
from these broods should lay during
the late fall or early winter when
eggs are scarcest.
The setting schedule outlined also
will permit the development Of early
spring "fryesr." The young chicks
will be developed TO the point where
they may be turned out on the ground
by the time vegetation is out, and so
may augment their feed with green
stuff. The smaller breeds of chick
ems can be Matched later than those
which are larger and slower to de-
velop.
Incubation
One difficulty in setting eggs in
spring at selected dates if the natural
system of incubation is followed is
in finding broody hens at the proper
times. If natural incubation is de-
pended upon exclusively it probably
will be best for the poultry raiser to
disregard dates and make settings
whenever broody hens are available
A good nest for setting is made OF
wood, Is inches square and about IL
inches high, with a top. The front
is open except for board 6 inches
high. Three or four inches of damp
earth should be placed i'm such a
nest and on this straw, hay, or chat
should be firmly packed. The hens
should be busted thoroughly with in
sect powder. 1t is a good plan, also
to sprinkle a little Of the powder in
the nests.
Using An Incubator
The suggested schedule can be fol
lowed exactly if an incubator is used
The machine should be operated in 6
warm room, preferably a cellar, as
a protection against outside temper
ature changes. 1t should be disin
fected thoroughly before being used
with solution of reliable coal-tal
disinfectant. Instead of using sucl
a solution a small receptacle contain
ing one-half ounce of permanganat,
of potash on which one-half ounce o.
formalin has been poured may b'
