Fine Barns Not Needed.

AS they trekked down the lane from
the barn to the pasture 'Pied" may
have tossed her horns and sung to
"BOssie," 81 Dreamt l Dwelt in Marble
Halls" But that dream, built up for
dairy cows by,a lot of elaborate de-
signers of fine barns, is dissipated by
experts of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in a bulletin en-
titled "The Four Essential Factors in
the Production of Milk of Low Bac-
terial Count" 1t gives the results Of
a series of experiments in which milk
of low bacterial count was produced in
an experimental barn under conditions
similar to those on the average low
grade farm. The three essential fac
tors were found to be: SteriliZed
utensils, clean cows, Small-top pals.
A fourth factor necessary to keep the
count low is holding the milk at a
temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit
or lower. All of these factors, it is
pointed out, may be operative in an
ordinary barn just as much as in the
marble hall' type.

RULES MADE FOR
PACKING HOUSES
Summary of What War Has Done
for Benefit of Consumers of
Animal Products.
DOWNFALL OF STACKER CAN
Government Has Refused to Tolerate
Use of Tin for Canning Air-Poi-
sonous Disinfectants Are
Also Forbidden.

While the various governmental
agencies have always taken more than
ordinary precautions to safeguard con-
Sumers against any evils that might
result from canned meats, cOntingen-
cieS arising out of the present state
of war have resulted in even more
perfect protection for soldiers and
civilian alike.
An old evil in the canning industry
was what has recently been called the
"slacker can" 1t was not able to
survive the state of war. The partly
filed can, like other slackers, had to
go. The mere bringing of cans up to
the low let content weight printed on
their labels is no longer all that is re-
quired. The can must be filled. The
war brought shortage of tin and the
government refused to tolerate the
use of tin for canning air.
Poisonous Disinfectants Forbidden.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken also in other particulars. A re-
cent regulatory announcement from
the bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, for
bids the keeping of such OdOrless poi
sons as bichlOride of mercury in pack
ing houses and directs that hot water
containing approximately l per cent
of salsoda (sOdium carbOnate) shall
be used for disinfecting all instru-
mentS.
The bureau has supplied all sta
tiOnS with special thermometers for
making temperature tests of meats,
and inspectors are instructed to close
ly supervise the handling of all meats
and products of a kind prepared Gus
tOmarily to be eaten without cooking
and which contain any muscle tissue.
The inspectors are instructed also to
see that all meats which are not rem
dered into lard or tallOw and which
are utilized for food purposes shall be
sterilized by heating so that ali pOr-
tiOnS Of the meat are brought to a
temperature cf 10 degrees Fahren-
heit and maintained at this tempera.
ture for not less than 80 minutes.
Different Cooking Methods.
The bureau of animal industry does
not specify the cooking necessary to
insure that all parts of the meat are
heated to the minimum temperature
That was regarded as impracticablt
on account of the fact that different
methods Of cooking are used in differ
ent packing establishments for vari
Gus weights of products. The inspec
tors are instructed to apply good judg
ment to each individual case, to make
the necessary test, to determine the
facts and to be guided accordingly.

APPEAL FOR THRIFT
President Asks Citizens to Buy
Only Essentials.
SYSTEMATIC SAVING URGED
People Requested to Pledge by June
20 to Invest in War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, or Other Government
Securities.

Washington, d. C.-TO save mate
rials and labor for necessary war pur-
poses. President Wilson appealed to
Americans "tO buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to vOlun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, to invest systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
This war is one of natiOns-nOt Of
armies" said the president. "and all
Of our 1OOOO0,OOO people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
TO war conditions If this nation is to
play Its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
''The problem before us is not pri-
marily a financial problem, but rather
a problem of increased production Of
war essentials and the saving of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment Of our
army and navy. ThOughtIess expendi-
ture of money for nOnessentials uses
up the labor Of men, the products Of
the farm, mines, and factories, and
Overburdens transportation, all Of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton of young and old in a national
thrift movement. l therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary of the treasury, to the practice Of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary to the winning
Of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More U. S. Securities"
''The securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many Of them,
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all Of US.
Il appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
Of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power Of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy In competition with the gov
ernment.
x earnestly appeal to every man
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant.
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government.
THE 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army Of production and saving
here at home. May there be none un.
enlisted on that day.,

OUR BOYS LOVER THERE"

In a very little while now there
will be a million American boys
on the firing line in France and
Flanders.
Already there are some mil
lions of British and French boys
on that line-bOys who have
been there, some of them, for
four years, offering their lives
in defense of your home quite as
much as of their own, warding
off the atrocities of the BOche
brutes from your loved ones,
though they have not been quite
able to ward them off from their
own mothers and sisters.
All of those boys, ours and
others, will remain there, and the
cry ''They shall not pasS!" will
be made gOOd-sO long as the
flow of American meats across
the ocean is ample and minter-
rupted.
The requirement of US at home
J is a very simple requirement.
1t does not limit us in any way
J to a meatless diet. It leaves US
large choice of very excellent
J meats.
But it does demand that we
} eat less of beef, no canned beef,
and not too much of any meat
that is at all suitable for over
seas.
OF course, none of us would
, deliberately fail to do that little
bit for the men who are Sacri-
ficing for us their treasure Of
youth and hope and love. No
American worthy the name ex-
ats his belly above the sacred
things of home and country.
Only some of us might be
} thOughtless.
Therefore take thought.

SAMARITAN RACE NEAR END
War May Wipe Out Remnant Of An
cient Tribe In the
Holy Land.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The last remnant of
the ancient Samaritan race may be
wiped out of existence, according to
E. X. Warren, president of the Inter-
national Sunday School association.
Mr.. Warren, in his Sunday school la
bors in the Holy Land, found the lit
tie band of people whose ancestors
made up the great northern division Of
the kingdom of the Jews. There were
162 persons in the group, and he has
not heard a word from them in IS
months. Mr.. Warren said the race
dwindled down because it would not
intermarry. TwO-thirds of the group
were men and of these "a were draft
ed by the Turkish government FOR mil
itary service.
