GERMANS treat
PRISONERS With
UNTOLD CRUELTY

London, April 12--How British
prisoners of war in Germany are en-
shaved, starved and subjected to I'M
told cruelty is related in an official
report of a government committee
made public today. The detention
and employment of non-commission-
ed officers and men captured on the
western front, says the report, have
brought on these prisoners an amount
of unjustifiable suffering for which
It would be hard to find parallel In
history"
The report is based on an accum-
ulation of evidence and shows thai
prisoners have been employed con-
stantly under shell fire and that many
have been killed by British guns;
that they have been kicked and
beaten, denied clothing and adequate
shelter; have in many instances been
shot: and that deaths from starva'
ton and overwork have been con-
slant.
French prisoners have been sub
tected to similar treatment.

ARREST KNABLIN
FOR VIOLATING
ESPIONAGE ACT

Frederick Knablin, who has resided
in this city for several months, was
arrested in New York city yesterday,
at the request of the local Depart
ment Of Justice office for violation of
the espionage act. He was brought
to this city and is being held for a
hearing before United States Com
missioner Hugh Lavery.
Knablin registered under the selec-
tive draft law in New York city last
June, then he came here and had his
cards transferred to this city. He
was put in class by one Of the local
boards when he claimed exemption on
the ground he is supporting his wife
and child.
Investigation by the local Office OF
the Department of Justice revealed
that he had not been supporting ms
wife and child for several years but
lived with them about the time he
out in his claim. After he secured
his wife's signature to his exemption
claim he deserted her. He was not
located until Sunday in New York

under arrest for violation of the es-
pionage act.

SUPPLYING PICS

John A. Simms Anticipates No Dif-
ficuIty in Meeting Demand for
Backyard Pigs as a Source Of
Cheap ELECTROMAGNETIC
for Good Family Garden.

As a result of the increased interest
in backyard pigs as source Of cheap
food an increasing number of in
quiries are coming to the Office Of the
Committee Of Food Supply of the Con-
neeticut State Council Of Defense ask
ing whether or not such pigs can be
located. John A. SinlIns Of the Con-
necticut Agricultural College, who has
this work in charge for. the Food Com
mittee, has been able to supply a pig
in every instance where they have
been asked for and declares that he
anticipates no difficulty in meeting the
demand. Any boy or girl desiring to
take up this sort of work as a part Of
their Junior Food Army work and who
is unable to secure the ptg in their
home community will be assisted in
locating one If they Will address the
Committee OF Food Supply, SO Pearl
street. Hartford, Conn.
The home gardener this year should
take pains to grow staple food crops
in order to secure maximum returns
for the work done, says the home gar
dens department Of the Food Supply
Committee. Peas, onions, cabbage,
beets, carrots, potatoes, turnips, cohl
rabi, snap or shell peas, sweet corn
and tomatoes, with possibly hill of
winter squash. are recommended as a
good combination for the family gar
den. The uncertainty of transporta-
ton and the need for placing orders
for seeds at once is also pointed out
by the department.

DRY GOODS co
Milk With Low COUNT
IN The ORDINARY BARN BY USING
ONLY VERY SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS

Milk with a low bacterial count can
be produced in practically any COW
barn. Any dairy farmer with a healthy
herd can produce such milk with an
investment of only $40 or $40 and a
little extra care.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in an experiment produced low
bacterial count milk in a poor dairy
barn.
The only changes made were: Sim
pie steam sterilizer for utensils; clean
cows, especially clean udders; small
top milking pals; proper manure re-
moval and good bedding.
The bacterial count fell from as
high as 100000 to an average of
2,15%
ANY Farmer Can Produce Clean Milk.
Low bacterial count is the begin
ming of good milk, but milk must
also be safeguarded from other con-
tam.nation likely in a dirty barn.
There is no legitimate excuse for the
production of milk from dirty cattle
or in a filthy stable. In addition milk
must be properly cooled to prevent
| the multiplication of bacteria.
Reduction of bacteria in milk does
| not depend on the kind of barn or
expensive equipment so much as on
simple inexpensive precautions Milk
with low bacteria count can be pro-
duced in barns of ordinary type
with less than $40 worth of extra
equipment The dairy specialists OF
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
have proved this in a practical ex-
| pertinent.
For the purpose of this expert
ment, four cows were put in an or
| binary frame barn. An unframed
worker was employed to milk and
care for the animals. No extra atten-
| ton as devoted to cleaning the barn
| At the end of six months the barr
| was no cleaner than many CONNER
| cial barns.
What the SmaII-top Pail Did.
Without any changes in barn man
agement the specialists had two COWS
/ nlilked into smalI-top pals and the
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-12

TWO others were MIXED into ordinary
open-top pals. The milk from the
open-top pals averaged 497,65S bac-
terra. The milk from the small-top
pals averaged 36S,214
The use of the small-top pail with
out any extra precaution made a diff
ference in the average count of 129,-
4S9 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
Steaming Utensils Death to Bacteria.
The pals and cans were sterilized
with live steam, which can easily and
cheaply be done with a simple steam
sterilizer, which can be made at home
or can be purchased complete for
about SO. Other conditions remained
as before. The milk from the ster-
ilized sma1l-top pals averaged only
1927 bacterial reduction of $751;
1877 in favor of this simple steriliza-
ton. With the open pals, steriliza-
ton reduced the bacteria to 22,677-
a decrease of 474,976 compared with
milk from the unsterilized open
pals.
Simple Cleanliness Sends the Count
Still Lower.
In the third step of the experiment
the manure was removed from the
barn twice instead of only once a
week. The udders and teats of the
cows were washed before each milk
ing. These reasonable measures of
cleanliness reduced the count in milk
! drawn into the sterilized small-top
pail to 2,SS6 bacteria, and in the
sterilized open-top pail to 6,166 per
| cubic centimeter. Ordinary clean
| illness, it can be seen, caused a reduc-
ton of over 10000 bacteria per cubic
| centimeter.
Daily Manure Removal and Clean
Bedding Also Pay.
To make it easier to keep the COWS
clean, in the final stage of the expert
ment the manure was removed daily,
clean bedding was Supplied, and the
cows were cleaned with a currycomb
! and brush. With these final pre-
cautions the bacterial count in the
small-top pail averaged the very low
one of 2.154 Der cubic centimeter, o.,
