Mr.. Hitchcock's Reply.

In sharp reply Senator Hitch
cock said he had Loyalty supported
the administration in the war.
Does the senator question that I
supported the armed neutrality bill
to the limit of my ability?" asked
Senator Hitchcock.
Il certainly do" replied the WASH
ington senator. Il do not see how the
senator could support that measure
to the limit OF his ability while he
was urging passage of an arms EN-
barge and making declarations OF his
sympathy for Germany.
IF the senator from Nebraska had
had his way in this war ii would
have been equivalent to leading into
the field an army of several hundred
thousand soldiers in behali of Ger
many. They could have been of no
more service to Germany than would
passage of an embargo on arms"
Senator Poindexter quoted numer-
Gus statements made in the Senate by
Mr.. Hitchcock before the declaration
of war expressing himself as neutral
and as hoping that neither side would
crush the other.

In a summary of his annual report,
made public last night. Supt- OF Po-

that the department devotes more
time to vioIators of petty laws than
to felony cases.

they have been for several years
past.

Stolen Property Recovered.

The superintendent also calls atten-
ton to the high percent age of lost and
stolen property recovered by the po-
lice during the last fiscal year.
Property valued at Sl.40S. 2062S was
reported stolen, lost or mislaid. OF
this amount S919.213.32 was recovered.
as compared with The recovery of
s4T1.TsT.04 i'll the preceding fiscal year.
Continuing on this subject. the report
states:
In addition. there was recovered by
the metropolitan police property to
the value OF $30S. $685. which had
been stolen. lost or mislaid, but on
which there had been no reports
whatsoever made to the police as
against sl65,16s.06 similar recoveries
in 1918.
The metropolitan police also were
successful in obtaining property to
the value of s22.SyJ which had been
stolen IN out-of-town jurisdictions as
compared with Sl3.526.i5 stolen in
other jurisdictions and recovered in

2,6O6 Grand Jury Cases.

The report reads. in part. as fol-
lows:
Despite the statement frequently
made that the police give too much
attention to unimportant violations OF
the law. neglecting criminal cases.
the department made arrests which
resulted in the holding Of 2.606 cases
by the grand jury as against 1.159
cases for the preceding year These
figures represent AS housebreaking
cases which were held as against Big

ceding year, 231 cases of assault with
dangerous weapons as against l2s in
the same class for the preceding year.
and 2G2 cases of false pretense az
against 157 cases for the preceding
year.
THE department. in fact. was more
successful in making arrests FOR
felony cases in 1919 than any other
time in recent years. the increase in
felony cases held in 1919 over those
held in 1918 being more than As per

ERADiCATING STOCK DISEASE
Bull Associations Play Important Part
in Combating Ailments of Dairy
Cattle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cooperative bull associations play
considerable part in combating dis
eases of dairy stock. While morgan
lied dairy farming operations have Il
tendency to spread abortion, tubercu-
lesis and other communicable diseases,
the policy of the bull associations
works in the opposite direction. For
example, an Iowa association will not
allow any of its members to receive
the be lefits of the association until his
herd las been tested for tuberculosis
and all reactors eliminated. One
farmer who did not dispose of the re-
actors after the tuberculin test was
applied was refused the use of bulls
until he complied with the rules of the
association.
The educational work of each asSO-
citation makes the members alert to
prevent the Introduction ad spread Of
disease of any kind. The well-man-
aged bull association requires that the
cattle of each member shall be tested
for tuberculosis and takes every
known precaution to prevent the intro
fuctiOn of infectious abortion.

KEEP ALL DAIRY COWS CLEAN
Dirty Udders and Thighs Cause Di-
rect Contamination of Milk-Use
Soap and Water.

(By p. X. HEERWAGEN. State Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Clean milk is impossible if the cows
are not kept clean. Dirty udders and
thighs cause direct contamination of
the milk, for clinging dirt particles are
rubbed off into the milk by the mixer.
The tail in switching will brush off
particles from the thighs and TANKS
into the pail. The udder should be
brushed clean with a brush or clean
cloth previous to milking. 1t is advis-
able to wash off the TANKS and thighs
occasionally with soap and water and
it is recommended to wash the udder
off every time previous to milking and
dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Some dalrymen keep headquarters
clipped, which is good practice, for
then these parts are easier kept clean.
