After all is said and done, how
ever, the plain truth remains that 1t
is simply a matter Of negligence on
the part Of the street-car companies
not providing sufficient equipment.
They have been confronted with a
condition and have failed to make
good, and for that reason probably
deserve no special favors- OF course
they claim inability to secure equip
ment because of orders ahead, but
why did they wait until this was the
case, probably for fear that they
could not pay dividends. The worst
kind Of shortsightedness. Had there
been sufficient equipment the con-
ductor could have reached the pas
sengers and collected the fares.
Hundreds who walk daily would ride,
People could take pleasure trips on
Sundays and holidays. The addi-
tional income would have made II
unnecessary to think Of still higher

Belfast's Milk Supply

Through the courtesy of E. C. Dow,
milk inspector, we are enabled to give
the following report of general interest
to our readers:
There are at present eight milk dealers
making daily delivery by team through
out the city and several people who keep
one or two cows and sell to their neigh
bors. In addition to this supply, the
Whiting creamery sells large amount
of milk at retail.
The milkmen are all complying with
the requirements of the law and are pro-
ducing milk under reasonably clean and
sanitary conditions They all have good
herds of cows that are kept in good con-
dition and well cared for. Some of the
dealers have found it difficult to get COM
petent help at times, but they have done
the best they could to keep to the stand
ard of modern methods. They deserve
much credit for supplying the city with
good milk under such adverse conditions
as have existed the past year. The legal
standard for milk is 3. Is per cent. butter
fat while the average test of all the milk
sold in this city is about per cent. No
sample tested has dropped below 35,
while several tests from Jersey or Guern-
Sey nerds have gone above 40
The cream trade is almost wholly sup
piled by the grocerymen, who get their
supply from the Creameries. With the
exception of short time when the u. S.
Food Administrator decreed that no
cream should be sold for family use that
contained more than 20 per cent of fat,
the cream supplied the trade has tested
about 80 per cent.
Both OF the CreamerieS are well man.
aged and kept in a sanitary condition.
1t is part of the duty of the inspector of
milk to see that the laws relating to the
sale of butter, cheese and imitation dairy
products are not violated In the past,
there has been considerable short weight
butter sold in our markets. With the
cooperation of the dealer, have tried
to correct this wrong Some progress
has been made, yet some underweght
butter does geg onto the market The
only practical way to solve this problem
is for the dealer to sell such butter at
sufficient discount to cover the deficit in
weight. Most of the dealers are now do
ing that. There is a natural shrinkage
in butter and loss of one quarter ounce
per pound cannot be considered as evil
dence of intentional fraud on the part of
the maker.
On the whole, the retail butter trade is
in fairly satisfactory condition.
There are ten licensed dealers in oIeo-
margarine in this city. The manufacture
ers of some brands of oleo are evading
the color law by furnishing a capsule of
color and directions for using it with
each pound, but the local dealers are all
handling the goods without evasion Of
law

SUNFLOWERS' USE FOR
S|LAGE TO Be TESTED

The use of sunflowers, for silage in
stead of the use of corn will be tested
at the A. E. Bixby ranch near Uma-
pine to determine if the feeding value
of sunflowers, which yields in most
cases three times as many tons to the
acre than corn, is the same as the
feeding value of corn silage.
Mr. BiXby planted four acres of corn
and two of sunflowers and the yield
from each crop totalled 25 tons. y
load of corn and a load of sunflowers
will be alternated in filling the silo so
that the effect of sunflower silage as
feed and that corn silage may be
shown
Fred Bennion, county agent says
that in every case so far the feeding
value of the two kinds of silage has
proved to be the same. The use of the
varieties in this county will be in the
nature of a practical demonstration
and Mr.. Bixby will keep a record on
the milkings from the COWS to show
results, Farmers will visit the ranch
during the feelings.
