FOOD INSPECTION WITHIN
REACH OF EVERY CITY

Fort Collins is a splendid example
of what can be accomplished in elm
mating unwholesome foods at a nom
inal cost This little city of 1900
people has maintained municipal
food inspection for 9 years at cost
of S75 per month.
All meats sold on the block, save
that which is shipped in and stamped
by the federal meat inspectors, is in
spected at two slaughter houses. All
cows in the city milk supply are in
spected and tested for tuberculosis
once a year. The meat markets, gro
ceries, hotel kitchens, garbage cans,
dairies. ice cream factories, AMI all
establishments where foods are hand.
led or may become contaminated. are
under the watchful eye of the food in
spector. Milk and cream are tested
for butter fat. which must be kept
up to a fixed standard.
Considering the small cost of main
tanning food inspection, the wonder
is that all cities of this size and larg-
er do not provide for protecting the
public against unwholesome foods. In
Fort Collins ii is considered that food
inspection is for the public good, and
so it is paid out of public funds !

men. meat men. fruit men or other
nroyision merchants
Fruits are not displayed on the
sidewalks and exposed to contamina-
tion from the filth of the streets.
Garbage cans and other places where
flies breed are looked after and the
satisfaction in knowing that the food
supply is regulated helps to make life

victory, with one side smashed until

Wilson's typewriter inspires only
those whose brains are soft. The way
to get peace is to conquer it.
That's the way Washington got it.
When the Revolutionary war was over,
it was over for good
That's the way Andrew Jackson got
it. England will never fire another
shot at America, unless Wilson keeps
talking.
That's the way General Scott got
peace in Mexico in 1S47, and then we
took all the good land Mexico had, to
make everything sure.
That is not the way Wilson does
not get peace in Mexico.
That is the way Grant got peace
in the South. Anybody heard of any
inclination to rebel since Grant ground
the confederacy into powder?
That is the way Admiral Dewey got
peace in the far East, the way Admiral
Sampson got peace in Cuba.
None of these went to school to
Wilson, and so we were able to COM
mand the respect of the world. Again
will we command that respect, when

To Preserve Wood siIos.

To prospective purchasers of stave
siIos the United States department OF
agriculture gives the following hints
Of the various preservatives in gen
eral use a good grade of coal tar ere
osote is very satisfactory for preserv-
ing timber. Superficial methods, how
ever, such as applying with brush,
dipping in the preservative or spray
ing, are not sufficient.
By far the best method is to have
the slaves treated with the preserva-
tive in a closed retort under pressure.
and when so treated they should last
indefinitely. Those considering the
purchase of treated silos should in
vestigate the methods used and, if
greatest permanence is desired, should
choose only material that has received
a thorough pressure treatment.

He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly.

ROOTS GOOD FOR DAIRY cow
Owing to High Percentage of Water in
Them Large Quantity Must Be
Fed Every Day.

Roots are good feed for dairy cat
tie, but owing to the high percentage
of water in them-from 81 to 80 per
cent-a large quantity must be fed
daily If these are to take the place
Of the grain ration. Roots may be
fed in almost unlimited quantity with
out danger to the animals. These are
like grass in summer. but in feeding
economy must be considered. In gen.
eral from to pounds of roots should
be fed for every three pounds of milk.
But, where roots bring a high price
on the market, it may often be profit
able to sell these and to buy grain.
AS rule two feeds day are suf-
f1cient. For the very highest possible
production, it may be advisable to feed
oftener but, If the cows are given 'all
that they can clean up twice a day,
they will usually be contented be-
tween meals.

BUTTER WITH CHEEsY TASTE,
Trouble Usually Due to Decomposition
Of Curd-DeveIops Frequently
Where Salt Is Low.

Cheese taste in butter is usually due
to decomposition of curd. 1t is most
likely to appear in butter made from
cream which has become too sour or
1t may also be due to failure to wash
the buttermilk and curd from the but
ter after churning. 1t seems to de-
velop more, frequently In butter which
Is low in salt.
If it has been the practice to allow
the cream to become quite sour be-
fore churning, churning before so much
acid has developed may help to rem
edy the trouble. When churning has
been completed, draw off all of the
buttermilk then add to the butter in
the churn an amount of water equal
to that of the buttermilk. The temper
ature Of the water should be about two
degrees less than that Of the butter3
milk. Give the churn several revolu-
tiOns in order to rinse the butter thor
Oughly and then draw off the water.
This removes the surplus buttermilk
and curd in the butter. It is also a
good practice to strain the cream as it
is poured into the churn. Some curd
will be removed in this way.

GRAIN MIXTURE FOR WINTER
Ground Barley, Oats, Bran and Oil
Meal Should Be Furnished in
Addition to Alfalfa.

For cows on winter feed a grain
mixture consisting of 35 pounds of
ground barley, 35 pounds of ground
oats, 20 pounds of bran, and ten
pounds of Oil meal fed at the rate of
one pound to each COW for each three
or four pounds of milk she produces
daily in addition to all the clover and
alfalfa hay she will clean up without
any waste will prove a good one. Feed
grain and hay each twice daily, morn
ing and evening, and at noon let the
cows have access to such amounts of
barley or oat straw as they may desire
for extra filler. The plan of feeding
each COW grain according to the
amount of milk she produces is the
proper one to follow.

CHANGE RATIONS OF CHICKS
Suitable Mixture Recommended for
Youngster of Four Weeks-Va-
riety Is Needed.

Chick feeds, as usually made up, are
for small chicks only. A normal chick
of four weeks old has in large meas
ure outgrown chick feed. At this age,
If not already started on something
coarser, q mixture something like the
following should be fed: One hundred
pounds of chick feed, 25 pounds of
whole wheat, 25 pounds Of coarse
cracked corn or kafir corn. In week
or two the per cent of chick feed can
be reversed and soon entirely omitted.
The Important thing is to change
feeds gradually and let the period of
change lap over week or two. Do
not try to make the change by giving
occasional feeds, as of, say, all whole
wheat; rather mix the wheat in, as
indicated in the above formula. Any
one grain fed alone is not sufficiently
balanced to produce proper growth,
and, on the other hand, is so concen-
trated in certain food elements as to
be detrimental to proper digestion.
