CRIME INCREASES
IN ENGLAND; IDLE
SOLDIERS BLAMED

London Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-Crime has been
on the increase in England since
the signing of the armistice and,
in official quarters, particularly
Scotland Yard, it is attributed to
a great extent to soldiers on leave
It is the natural result of idle
hands, the officials say.
Attendants at centers where
leave men congregate sem to be
of one opinion as to why soldiers
now commit petty crimes. They
say the bearing of the soldiers has
changed since hostilities ended.
When they obtained a brief respite
from the fighting they still felt
that they were engaged, still had
something to do and something to
think about. People who are at
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and Red Cross centers saw
that now there is no interest for
the soldiers at the front and little
they can do in the cities as few
have much money. They are idle

ARE TO CONVERT
STRECKF'US BOAT
FOR EXCURSIONS

The palatial steamer Quincy of
the Streckfus line, now in winter
quarters in the government boat
harbor below Suburban island. is
to be converted into an excursion
boat. 1t will be a sister ship to the
St Paul, which year ago was
transformed into the finest excur-
sion boat on the entire Mississippi
river.
Captain John Struckfus is in
charge of the remodeling of the
Quincy. He stated the work of re-
building will be started within a
week or so and that $4,000 will be
expended in the improvements.
The converting of the Quincy
into an excursion boat means that
there will be no through packets in
the ST Paul-St. Louis trade the
coming season. The steamers
Quincy, st. Paul and Dubuque are
in the government winter harbor
here. The steamer Sidney, the re-
naming boat of the Streckfus line,
is now engaged in the winter excur-
sion business in and around New
Orleans. The Sidney was also re-
built last year.

At the Illinois.

The big show at the Illinois the
atre opened with a bang yesterday
and revealed some unusually good
acts. The pictures were the Pathe
events, such as President Wilson
leading the big welcome parade in
Washington only a few days ago,
the American soldiers in France
and other things too numerous to
mention. The Francis Ford serial,
the silent Mystery" was something
of a thriller, and the comedy reel
was good The vaudeville had many
surprises. The first act, a man billed
as DeWaldo, does some stunts on a
slack wire and juggles objects while
doing them He rides unicycle and
does some more Juggling there,
waltzes on his one wheel and con-
WINGED everybody that he is an ar
fist in his line. Then came a rath-
or neat looking couple called Marie
and Eddie, in a comedy act of re-
parte and song. Eddie had funny
song that he put over with a
punch, and then Marie sang in a
beautiful voice a sweet ballad call
ed Mother" and she sang it with
fine feeling, and the quality of her
voice was rich in its plaintiveness.
Then came Bud Coulter, a dancer
direct from the United States grand
fleet in his sailor suit and he is full
of the salt air that gives one little
pep. He is the submarine of all
dancers, he sinks them before rney
arrive. Bud sings little but his
speciality is dancing and he does
shake some wicked foot. The Lynch
Trio are two girls and one boy. The
little girl is delightful to look at,
her graceful movements and dane
ing are the acme of perfection. She
is but a child and sings in a we'll
modulated voice and never tires in
her efforts to please. The boy is a
whole show in himself and has a re-
markable voice. The other girl who
is just out of her teens plays the
piano well and gives a treat in
song herself. There is some comedy
in the act, some clever dialogue
that carries a laugh line, and they
sing some harmony numbers that
put them over big. The event of all
events in the surprise line was
stored up in the act called Electro.

SOME ADVANTAGES
OF DAIRYiNG

/. The sale of dairy products fur
nishes steady income throughout
the year. The farmer who depends
upon crop sales for his income usual
ly makes the bulk of his sales dur
ing the rest of the year he has no
cash income. Such a system requir-
es long credits in the community.
2. The market for dairy products
fuctuates very little year by year as
compared with other farm products.
3. Through the return of manure
to the land the fertility and physical
condition of the soil may be main
tanned at a high level and crops in
creased. Even after many years a
properly maintained dairy farm has
constantly increasing crop yields in
A. In dairying, labor may be utiliz-
ed at a more uniform rate through
out the year than in nearly any other
farm business. The grain grower, for
example, may have to employ much
additional labor at harvest time, but
so far as the dairy is concerned the
dairyman has about the same duties
to perform every month of the year.
Thus, less help is required seasonally
and permanent employees may be
kept.
5. Through the dairy COW many
unstable roughages may be trans
formed into products from which cash
may be realized. Grass, hay, corn
fodder, and other roughage which
may not have a ready sale are econ
omically utilized by the dairy COW.
Land which is not suitable for cult
walton can be utilized for pasturage
for dairy cows.

NO PALATIAL BARN is NEEDED
TO ASSURE WHOLESOME MILK
Dairy Farmer Can Make His Product Good and Pure
Simply By Ordinary Cleanliness; Sterilization Is
a Big Help, and Not Expensive


unsterilized open pals. Sterilization
is not difficult nor expensive. The
dairy specialists of the Department
have developed simple steam ster-
ilizer which can be made at home, or
can be purchased complete for about
$40 to SIS. Complete directions for
making it can be obtained by writ
ing to the Dairy Division of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
In the third stage of the expert
ment the manure was removed from
the barn twice instead of only once
week, and the udders and teats of
the cows were washed before eacn
milking. These reasonable measures
of cleanliness reduced tn count IN
milk drawn into the sterilized small
top pals to 1886 bacteria to the Gu
bic centimeter, and in the sterilized
open-top pals to 6,166. Ordinary
cleanliness, it can be seen, caused q
reduction of over 10000 bacteria to
the cubic centimeter.
In the final stage of the expert
ment other measures to insure clean
illness were practiced. The manure
was removed daily, clean bedding
was supplied, and the cows were
groomed regularly with currycomb
and brush, With these final precau-
tions the bacteria count in the small
top pals averaged only 2,154 to the
cubic ecntimeter, or 1,197,847 less
than were found in sample when
the barn and cows were dirty and the
utensils were not steamed

GOOD FROM
BEEKEEPING SCHOOL

If all the beekeepers in the three
largest beekeepers States were gath
cred together they would not exceed
in number the beekeepers who attend
ed meetings in the last fiscal year
held by the Bureau of Entomology OF
the United States Department of Ag-
ruculture. Extension specialists in
this branch of agriculture were first
sent out in the fall of 1916, but it
was not until the United States en-
tered the war that the work began in
real earnest. During the past year
an average of IL extension men were
working in 20 States. They held 1000
meetings and addressed more than
$4,000 beekeepers. In addition, they
visited more than $500 beekeepers in
their apiaries, giving individual at
tcntion to the problems in beekeep-
ing which were causing them most
trouble.
The Bureau of Entomology also
undertook a more elaborate type of
etension work last year-extenslon
schools for beekeepers engaged COM
mercially in the industry. Only seven
of these schools were held in the
year, but an average of 100 CONNER
cial beekeepers attended, and it is

LATEST REPORTS OF
U. s. DEPT. OF
AGRICULTURE

In marketing milk or dairy pro-
duets that meet the highest demand
and bring the best prices, the first
step is in its production. Only milk
from healthy cows should be used for
human food. 1t should be produced
under clean surroundings and be
handled in such way that increase
of bacteria, which cause the milk to
sour, be held as low as possible.
1t does not require expensive barns
and elaborate equipment to produce
milk of low bacteria count. The
dairy specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture have
proved this in practical experiment.
The experiment was begun by plac-
ing four cows in an ordinary frame
barn and employing an unframed
worker to milk and care for the ami
mails. No extra attention was de-
voted to cleaning the barn, and for
six months the cows were kept under
these conditions. Then, without any
change in barn management, two
cows were MIXED into small top pals
and the two others were MIXED into
ordinary open-top pals. The milk
from the open-top pals averaged
1914 bacteria to the cubic cent?
meter, and the milk from the small
top pals averaged 3G8,214--a differ
ence of 129,439.
STEAM PURIFYING PROVED
The next step in the experiment
consisted of sterilizing the cans and
pals with live steam, but other con-
ditions remained as before. The
milk from the sterilized small-top
pals averaged only 1927 bacteria to
the cubic centimeter, reduction of
351,187 in favor of sterilization. With
the open pals sterilization reduced
the bacteria to 22,677, a decrease of
474,976 compared with milk from the

Queer, the dealer, and the consumer.
If the first two have done their part,
clean, safe milk will be delivered,
thoroughly chilled, to the consumer.
The best way to deliver milk is in
clean, well-capped bottles. If bottled
milk can not be obtained, the house
wife should arrange to have it receiv-
ed in a clean, scalded utensil, cover it
instantly, and place it Immediately
in refrigerator or the coolest avail
able place.
KEEP IN COOL PLACE
From the time milk is produced
until 1t is consumed it should be kept
cool-at temperature of so degrees
f. or lower. At such temperatures
bacteria develop very slowly and milk
undergoes little change. A slight rise
in temperature above this point, how
ever, permits bacteria to multiply
rapidly and brings about deterlora-
ton Of the milk, which may render it
unsafe for ordinary use and make it
highly dangerous for babies and old
er children. In cooling milk dairymen
should use facilities already existing
such as cold water in wells or
springs. When milk is drawn from a
cow it has a temperature of about
50 degrees +. In the North well and
spring water generally varies in TEN?
perature from so degrees to GO de-
grees f. By the use of surface
coolers and a tank of running water
milk can quickly be cooled and held
to within two to four degrees of the
temperature of water.
During warm weather it may be
necessary to ship or deliver milk
twice a day. This would have ten
dency to check spoilage, especially of
evening milk, which is usually more
than IL hours old when shipped. Milk
dealers can do much to prevent
spoilage by pasteurizing the milk,
which not only kills disease bacteria,
but reduces the bacteria count and
therefore delays spoilage.

FALL FEEDING OF

DAIRY COWS
The wise dairyman will feed liber-
ally during the fall months. Cows
which are not we'll fed at this time
will go into the winter thin in flesh
and with reduced milk flow: 1t will
be expensive and largely in vain to at
tempt to bring them back to nor
NAL flow after they go on winter "a
tons.
1t will pay to begin feeding silage
and hay early. The extra feed given
at this time will not only bring good,
immediate returns, but affect the
milk flow for the whole year by put
ting the cow in good condition to go
through the winter months. Cows
which go into the winter in good vi
tality, and with undiminished milk
flow, are the ones which will make
most economical use of the high
priced feeds given them during that
period. Keep up the milk flow during
the fall months by proper feeding. 1t
will pay.
Cold. uncomfortable cows will not
make economical use of feed. Then
highly developed nervous systems are
very susceptible to sudden changes in
temperature. This should be borne in
mind in the fall, when the first cold
rains and cold winds come. Protec-
Con from these will prevent the re-
duction in milk flow which they al
ways cause. Do not waste feed by
letting cows stand out in cold winds
and rain.
