If there has been profteering by coal oper-
ators it ought to be amenable to the law just
as other profteering is, and the law ought to be
promptly invoked and enforced against it. But
by operators does not furnish the
basis for estimating a wage scale since the IN
due profits come out of the public purse. Fix
ing a just wage scale is one thing: curbing
profiteering, another; the two are too often CON
fused both in thought and action in settling in
dustrial disputes.

REPTILES AT HOME IN SAND
Naturalist Makes Interesting Report
of Habits of Small DWeIIers
of the Desert.

Quaint and curious are the ways of
some reptiles of the desert, as revealed
by the famous naturalist G. L. Camp,
who has been studying them in the
Colorado desert. He tells of some rep
tiles, the burrowing snake sonora, the
gridiron-tailed. lizard, the ocellated
sand lizard, and the desert horned
toad" which actually swim into the
loose sand by the strong lateral move
ments of their heads. The ~gridiron-
tailed lizard is very swift and agile,
and when chased will race over the
sand at fifteen miles an hour. Most of
the desert reptiles of Colorado are col
ored like their surroundings, and are
difficult to detect. Others can change
their colors to suit their surroundings,
while not few of the desert lizards
are able to part with their tails very
readily when they are seized. There is
humor in the ways of desert tortoises.
When one meets another. unless both
are males, when a fight invariably
takes place, each mods its head rapidly
up and down as though in SALVATION,
and sometimes noses are touched as
they pass.

influences which hinder growth also
operate to delay egg production for
several months. Any disturbance af-
fecting the habits, quarters or COM
fort of the pullet at any stage of her
life may retard laying. Shifting the
birds from place to place and abrupt
changes in the diet often disturb the
fowl enough to retard laying. In fact,
poultry fanciers who desire to keep
pullets in condition for exhibition
often use this means of keeping them
from laying. On the average, pullets
about to begin laying are more SEN
sitive to disturbances than at any 9TH
err stage of their growth. and there
fore require greater care in handling.
1t Is imperative that every poultry
keeper exercise the maximum Of eau
ton from the time the chicks are
Matched until the pullets attain ma
turity, so that the fowl will make reg
ular growth and not be subjected to
my factors which will stunt or divert
the proper development Of the birds.
The alphabet of proper management
of the pullets emphasizes such factors
as correct nourishment, constitution.
exercise, and cleanliness. Given the
proper care and surroundings, the
early-hatched chick will develop into
a profitable, early and persistent pro-
Queer of eggs. This is the goal to-
ward which every poultryman should
work.

be plenty of all kinds for all. at all

great delicacy, but brains are spurned
by the. majority, for no reason than
that they are not in the habit of cook

and kidneys, the latter if carefully

Liver from whatever animal Is ten

December, 1918, Belgium had available

ICE PROBLEM FOR DAIRYMEN
scrupulous Care In Production and
Handling Of Milk Is Necessary
to Keep 1t Sweet.

prepared by the United States Depart

Keeping milk fresh and sweet this
summer is likely to be more of a prob

portant single factor In keeping milk
sweet, and ice is usually necessary to
accomplish this. In most natural Ice
sections of the country, however, there
is marked scarcity Of natural Ice
Heretofore, in regions where 30 pei
cent of American milk has been pro
duced, natural ice has been plentiful
and cheap, and has been the principal
means by which a perishable food
product has been sent long distances
to market without spoilage. AS a re-
suit of the mild winter In many sec
lions little natural ice was harvested.
and since in the North the manufac-
ture of artificial ice is confined prin-
cipally to the larger cities, 1t Is doubt
full If this product would be available
to milk producers even If the price
could be made satisfactory.
On account of the lack of ice, dairy
men will be compelled to use scrupu
lous care in the production and hand
ling Of milk and cream. 1t will be
necessary to adhere more closely than
ever to the three C's in caring for
milk-keeping it clean, cold, and GOV.

by steam. Every farmer who can af.
ford it should possess steam boiler
and sterilizer. If he feels that this
is too great an expense, there are 9TH
er sterilizers on the market, cheap but
efficient, which will render milk uten-
sis sterile. A satisfactory home
made sterilizer has been developed by
the United States department of agri-
culture, and can be made at cost Of
about $40. Complete directions for
making it may be obtained by address
ing the department, at Washington.
Such important factors as clean
udder, milking with clean hands, keep
Ing the stables clean, and the use Of
small-top pals will lower the bacterial
count, and should be carefully observ-
ed by all milk producers.
In cooling milk dairymen should use
facilities already existing, such as cold
water In wells and springs. When
milk Is drawn from COW 1t has a
temperature of about 95 degrees f.
In the North, well and spring water
generally varies In temperature from
30 to 60 degrees F. By the use Of
surface coolers and tank of cold rum
ming water, milk can quickly be cooled
and held within two to four degrees
of the water.
During warm weather 1t may be nee
essary to ship or deliver milk twice
a day. This would have tendency
to check spoilage, especially of eve
ming milk, which is usually more than
twelve hours old when shipped. Milk
dealers can do much to prevent spoil
age by pasteurizig the milk. Pasteuri-
zation not only kills disease bacteria
but reduces count, and therefore de-
lays spoilage.
