FOR $40 TO SIS. SMALL DAIR-
les CAN HAVE STEAM
STERILIZER.

; The cost Of the steam steriliz-
er itself should not be more than
; SO. If it is necessary to buy q
small stove the cost will be 81
or IS more. The materials used
in it can be bought at prices
about as follows: Roasting pan,
rs cents to 81, depending on
the grade Of iron. The galvan-
lied iron with asbestos and con-
struction work should not cost
more than 81, and the work can
be done by any timer. A two
burner wickless kerosene stove
costs from 81 to So; but IN many
cases it will not be necessary to
purchase a stove. The details of
making the sterilizer and sug-
gestions as to how it should be
operated are described in Farm
ers' Bulletin 748 of the United
States department Of agricul-
ture.
When properly operated this
sterilizer destroys practically all
the bacteria In the utensils, In
Guiding all disease germs, which
may be present. It will accom-
plish the same results as any
sterilizer in which steam not I'M
der pressure is used. Expert
ments with it show that the
five-minute steaming is, for all
practical purposes, as good as
the Is to 80 minute steaming
usually recommended.

tanned at very little cost by building
under the sterillzer small brick fur

PATRIOTISM AND GOOD
MILK.

, Every owner of q dairy herd
should consider it his duty to
. himself and to the community
to keep only healthy cows, sup
; ply them with wholesome feed
and keep them in clean, comfort
; able quarters. There is not only
patriotism in the service to his
) patrons which results from such
management, but there is more
profit.
The mixers and all who ham
die the milk should realize that
they have in their charge food
which Is easily contaminated
and should, therefore, take all
reasonable precautions to pre-
vent the milk from becoming a
source of danger to themselves
and to others.
The consumer should under
stand that clean, safe milk is
worth more and its production
costs more than milk which con-
tains dirt and disease germs;
therefore he should be willing to
pay more for it than for dirty
milk, which is dear at any price.

GERMAN
RuINATION OF MINES
Lansing Acts on Report Of Or
der to Destroy Coal Sources
in Belgium.

WASHINGTON. Nov. T,--Secretary Lam
sing made public to-day message to
tho German, Government through the
Swiss Minister protesting against the
reported intention OF German authori-
tics in Belgium to destroy coal mines on
evacuation. II; the acts contemplated are
carried out the message says. 1t will
confirm "thc bdief that the solemn as-
surances of the German Government
are not given in good faith" The note
follows:
i have the honor to request that you
viii bring the following to the ateen-
tion OF tho German Government:
In It's note Of October 90 the Ger
man Government announced that "the
German troops are under the strictest
instructions to spare private property
and to exercise care for the popula-
ton TO the best Of their ability"
Information has now reached the
Government of the United States to
the effect that the German authori-
ties in Belgium have given notice to
the coal mining companies that all
men and, animals should be brought
out OF the pits that all raw materials
3l lIlc pOtStSsiOU Vi lIt companies
should be delivered to the Germans
and that the mines will be destroyed
at once.
Acts so wanton and malicious. in
volving as they do the destruction of
vital necessity to the civilian popu-
lation OF Belgium and the conse-
duent suffering and loss of human life
which will follow. cannot fail to i'm
press the Government and the people
OF the United States as wilfully cruel
and inhuman. If these acts, In flag
rant violation OF the declaration Of
October 20. are perpetrated 1t will con-
Arm the belief that the solemn assur-
ances Of the German Government are
not given In good faith. In the cir
cumstances the Government OF the
United States to which the declara-
ton of October 20 was made, enters
an emphatic protest against the meas
ures contemplated by the German au-
thorities. for whose conduct the Gov
eminent Of Germany is wholly re-
| sponsible.

With forty-nne Republicans now GER
tain all doubt as to the election OF
Senator Fail IN ny having been re-
moved, leaders are laying plans for the
readjustment OF committee assignments
and the selection of Republican Senate
officials.
Democratic leaders were reduced to-
day to the claim of a tie in the Senate,
having given up all hope Of the House.
But their claim of a tie IN the Senate
depended upon Democratic success bo'h
in Idaho and New Mexico.
Republican leaders still profess to
have a hope OF carrying Idaho for Good
ing. which would give them Atty Re-
publican Senators.
@. o. p. Claim Ind House.
The Republicans claim the House OF
Representatives by fifty or more votes
They have carried 240 seats at least
The returns show that the Democrats
are certain OF but 1888. There will lie
one independent. one Socialist, and Ave
districts are still in doubt.
The Republican leaders were unani-
nous to-day in ascribing their victory
to organizing ability and the strategy
of Will H. Hays. the new Republican
committee chairman. Mr.. Hays, who
was elected chairman last spring. began
the work Of organizing at once.
Since he assumed Office he has
traversed the United States from coast
to coast getting acquainted with the
leaders, pointing out the weak spots In
the old organization and carrying the
spirit Of hopefuness and encourage
ment to all. He established avenues,
highways and pipe lines of information
such as the Republican organization In
the United States has not enjoyed since
the days of Clarkson. Plat and Quay,
and he did 1t all OH the confidential,
easy business fashion of an expert bust
ness organizer going out to get
acquainted with the trade
II was the VIII Hays brand of
strategy which prepared the party to
meet the stupendous force Of the Presi-
dents appeal to his fellow countrynnen
TO stand by him through standing by
the Democratic Congressional and Sena-
torial candidates.
Hays Uses Strategy.
At the Republican headquarters the
plans of the Democrats for a burst of
national enthusiasm to follow the
Presidents call for support were known
long in advance of the actual out
giving from the White House. The
Republican leaders were in panic at the
outlook. They -ere anxious to meet the
onslaught By protective barrage. To
Hays they went with the suggestion
that the artillery be put in play and the
action of the President anticipated.
Not SO with Mr.. Hays. He coun-
seiied silence. He urged the advisers
to stand at attention and await results
To-day leaders who wanted him to act
are thanking their stars that the per
spicacity OF Hays INTERVIEWED and that
the eaction from the Presidents appea
was allowed to work as 1t did work &c
the glory andtsuccess Of the Republican
party.
