Music hath charms to soothe the
savage COW.
At an electrical dairy exhibit in
the East, tests were made with thor
oughbred Holstein and Guernsey
cattle. which, after they had been
thoroughly milked, were induced TO
give an extra amount by being milk
ed to music. It is asserted that some
Of the cows, milked photographic
ally, gave 10 to IL per cent more
than their usual yield.
Classical strains are said to be the
best. One of the Holsteins under the
gentle Influence OF Mozart and Bee
thovan gave As quarts Of milk in
"a hours. She was MIXED every six
hours by an electrical milking device
which transferred the milk directly
from the cow to the bottles without
the fluid once being exposed to the
air. Straight from producer to con-
sumer, as 1t were.
Experiments along this line should
be interesting. "Oh, Promise Me-
ought to have good effect on the
stingiest cow, while such tunes as
Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes
should be sedulously avoided. o.
course, for the indolent, slothfu
COW there could be no better tune
than Work, For the Might Is Com

THE ORIGINAL PROFITEERS
Now That the Buck is Passed Back to
Railroad BrOtherhOOds They
Want to Come Again.

The railway brotherhoods have noti-
fled the president that the 'profiteers"
as they call others, have raised prices
so as to wipe out all the velvet they
got out of holding up Mr.. Wilson's
administration with gun loaded with
votes during the campaign of 1916,
and state unless they are given another
raise or the prices of living reduced
they will strike again. The question
naturally arises, who started the prof
itecring? 1t was these same railroad
brotherhoods. They got the first
raise and it has been gradually going
the rounds until it is on the level again
and they are bGck demanding another
raise. To grant their demands would
be just to s':rt another cycle of rais-
ing prices until it came back to the
starting point &gain.
We are with them on one PROPOSE
ton and ti;:t is there ought to be a
reduction of the cost Of living. 1t has
got to come sooner or later, and the
readjustment ought to begin just
where the advance started with n re-
duction of the wages of the brother
hoods. They are the highest paid
labor on the roads and the govern
mcnt is paying a deficit Of billion
dollars a year in order to meet their
exhorbitlnt demands already granted.
Instead of abusing all other classes as
"profitcers" let the title be applied to
those who started it. and did in the
those who started it, and did it in the
cognizcd buccaneer style.
