SOME THINGS THE
FOOD LAW DID

Reviewing the ten years in which
the Federal Food and Drugs Act has
been in operation, the annual report
of the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
says the law has done much to safe
guard milk imported from Canada, or
shipped in interstate commerce; to
control the traffic in polluted oysters
and practically to stop the traffic in
decomposed canned fish; to lessen the
shipment of de:omposed canned beans
and shell eggs; and to decrease the
manufacture of foods from refuse
materials, correspondingly improving
the sanitary conditions in food fac
tories.
Ten years ago, the report says,
much of the baking powder and gela-
tin and some of the confectionery was
contaminated with small quantities of
lead or arsenic. This is not the case
today. The coloring Of canned peas
with copper and the use of a number
of dangerous preservatives have been
suppressed. Tha act also has made it
possible to control number of other
practices more or less dangerous to
health.

LOCAL STORES
REPORT STOCK

According to a recent order gl"en
out by the Food Administration, each
retail merchant is now required to
make a report of the actual amount of
all food stuffs that he had on hand, ac,
cording to his invoice, on Dec. 81, ust
passed, and also for Dec. 31st, a year
ago. This report is to be made in
detail on blanks furnished for the pur-
pose, and we understand that there
considerable work attached to making
it out as it is not permissible to re-
port so many dozen cans of corn, or
so many ton1at ,es, but the net con-
tents of the cans must be computed in
unces and then reduced to pounds.
BY these reports the government will
know exactly how much Of every ar
ticle Of food there is in the U1,ited
States now, and by adding to this that
which comes on he market later, and
computing the amount used monthly
they have a complete record at all
times of the true conditions. Ali che
local merchants have completed their
reports and 1c.1. returned them to
Washington.

DRAFT LAW
STANDS TEST

Washington, Jan. 8.-The United
State Supreme Court has upheld as
constitutional the .selective service
act, and sustained the governments
contention that The power given con-
gress to declare war includes the pow
er to compel citizens to render mill
tary service at home and abroad.
Chief Justice White in delivering
the unanimous opinion of the court
declared that most of the various con-
tentions were found imaginary rather
than real. The decision resulted from
appeals in thirteen cases growing out
Of c 1viction under the draft act, five
com: g from New York, three from
Ohio, four from Minnesota, and one
from Georgia. The Minnesota cases
were those Of Joseph Awer, Alfred
Grahle, Otto Wangerin and Walter
Wangerin, who we're indicted for fail
ing to report and were sentenced to
one year in the state reformatory.
They must serve the sentence.

As To The Farmers.

AZ To The Farmers.
The number Of farmers who will
pay income taxes has not been esti-
mated BY the government officials, but
It is osrtain they will form q large Pc.
centaap Of the f,0o0,0O0 persons as
sessed who never before have paid an
income tax. The average farmer
does not keep books but if he avails
qf the services Of government
experts who WI. be sent to aid him,
it will NOT be difficult for him to ascer-
tain the amount Of his ret income.
The farmer IN. making out his re-
turn may deduct depreciation in the
value of propelt!: and machinery used
in the conduct Of his farm, and loss
by fire, storm or other casualty, or by
theft if not covered by insurance. Ex-
penses actually incurred in farm op-
Grafton may be deducted, but not
family or living expense. Produce
raised on the farm and traded for
groceries, wearing apparel, etc.. is
counted as living expenditures and
cannot be deducsed. Salaries paid by
state or q political subdivision Of the
state are exempt. A farmer holding
the job Of county supervisor, for in
stance does not have tc include his
salary in his income tax return.

For food purposes pigeons are usu-
ally classed with poultry. Culturally
they are in a class by themselves,
producing meat only, producing it very
quickly and under conditions that do
not admit of growing any other crea-
ture used for food. =.
While the ideal arrangement for
pigeons is to have their house on the
ground, and a small covered yard
called a 'fy'-cOnnected with it,
pigeon keeping may be carried on
extensively in upper rooms, or lofts,
With or without an open-air fly. Many
Hooks of pigeons are kept in large cit
les IN quarters provided for them in
the lofts or IN the roofs of buildings
used for mercantile and manufacture
Ing purposes.
A space six feet square, and high
enough for the attendant to stand
erect, will accommodate eight to ten
pairs of pigeons for SQUAD breeding.
Inc birds mate and begin breeding
when six to seven months old. Two
eggs are laid by the hen. Then the
male shares with her the duty of incu-
patton. The young hatch in about II
Gays. At four weeks old average good
squads will weigh about three-quarters
OF a pound each. Some of the larger
ones will weigh over a pound at that
age.
A good pair of breeders will produce
SIX or seven more pairs of squads a
year. As many as II pairs of squads
nave been produced by one pair in a

she has young still in the nest, leaving
the care of them to her mate.

WHY NOT SKIM MILK RoUTEs2

To make use of a valuable food
which has been very much neglected,
the federal dairy division is urging
dealers to consider seriously the ad-
visibility of putting out skim milk on
their regular milk routes. Consumers
can help the movement by asking for
this product.
In the past many dealers have been
opposed to the sale Of skim milk on
the routes, fearing that it would cur
tail the consumption of whole milk.
It is believed, however, that many
people, If they had an opportunity,
would use skim milk for cooking and
drinking in addition to their custom
airy quantity of whole milk. Skim milk
sold in this way should be ~pasteurized
and handled as carefully as market
milk. 1t should also be labeled con-
spicuously to comply with local re-
quirements, so that the consumer may
be fully informed as to its true char
acter.
Skim milk contains all the food ele-
ments Of whole milk except the fat. 1t
has a little more protein than whole
milk, but because Of the deficiency in
fat, does not supply so much energy.
When 4 per cent whole milk-an
average butterfat content of market
miIk-sells at II cents a quart, skim
milk is worth 12.4 cents a quart as a
source of protein. In energy value,
skim milk is worth 6.3 cents a quart
when 4 per cent whole milk is sell
ing for 12 cents.

BRAIN Or Drawn. MIR. FaEMERY

The long winter evenings car be
proftably employed in reading and
studying good agricultural literature
and in planning the work for next
year. There are numbers of good
books, covering every phase of farm
management and crop production.
Procure some of them and learn to be
scientific farmers; brains at this time
are more essential than Drawn. We
shall be glad at any time to assist you
in selecting the best of these books,
and VIII be glad to order them for you.
