MACHINE VS..
HAND MILKING

Milking is one of the largest items
of labor in connection with milk pro-
duction and study of the two meth
DDS of milking is of interest as well as
of practical significance. Since con-
siderable extra time and labor is IN
volved where milking machines are us
ed, in washing and caring for the ma
chimes themselves, it is obvious that
these items should be included i'm or
der that a fair comparison might be
made
The Dairy Husbandry section of the
Michigan Experiment Station, in the
course of extensive studies in the cost
of milk production, has secured some
interesting data along this line. Ac-
curate figures were kept throughout
the entire year with SO herds in con-
densery districts within the state, 43
of these herds being hand MIXED and
81 machine MIXED.
The average time spent in milking
and caring for the milk and utensils in
the AZ herds MIXED by hand was 100
Al hours per cow, per year, as compar-
ed to II 28 hours the average time in
81 machine MIXED herds. The figures
show that the extra time required to
wash and care for the machines is
made up many times in the greater
speed of milking with machines. A
saving of 2916 hours per cow, per
year, is shown in favor of the machine
method of milking, which would am
cunt to 525 hours labor per year with
herd of Is cows, the average. size of
the 81 machine MIXED herds in which
these investig cations were carried on.

Urge Women to
Go to Polls
CONFERENCE INSTRUCTS WO-
MAN TO GO TO POLLS IN LARGE
NUMBERS IN NOVEMBER.

How to reach every individual wo-
man of the 450, 900 eligible to vote at
/ the Presidential Election this Noven1-
| Der was the main topic discussed at
| the conference of chairmen of the Lea
que of Women Voters held in Mime
apolis at the Curtis Hotel, Wednesday
| July Mth. The state officers made it
very plain that the responsibility for
getting out the vote of the women in
the rural districts must rest primari-
lly upon the county chairman's Shout
ders. 40 county chairmen were pres
ent.
The arithmetic of the nation will be
| turned upon the woman vote in Nov
ember," said Miss Marguerite Wells,
state chairman; EVERY possible per-
centage will be worked out. Did the
Women Vote Did more or fewer vote
than men. At the last presidential
election 56 per cent of the men quail
fled to vote in Minnesota went to the
polls. Will the women show better
record in 1920? Will more than Sc
per cent of the women in your county
who are qualified to vote vote? 1t
is up to YOU County Chairmen!"
Z It was impressed upon the women
by Mrs. Walter Thorp, Press Chair
man, who talked on Getting Out the
Vote" that the women must not expect
to make anything but good numeri-
cal showing this year
We are too new in this business,
we are too completely novices at the
political game to make any idealistic
prophecies come true in 1920. Not UNI
til we have penetrated the real fast
nesses Of the Parties can We hope to
make Party Government in America
I the true representative government it
should be and is not, said Mrs. Thorp.
But she urged the women to show that
they are numerical force to be reck-
oned within politics by coming out
strong at the polls.
1t is not your business to tell wo-
men how to vote simply to tell them
to VOTE. Every woman who allows
her partisan bias to get the better Of
her discretion in this campaign is be-
traying the principles of the League,

Frost bite need hardly be described
since it is a common affliction in
Northern Division territory. If any
thing need be emphasized in this con-
nection it is prevention. Proper care
should be taken to avoid unnecessary
exposure of face, ears and hands,
taking particular care of the feet.
IL one is frost bitten, endeavor to
restore affected parts by rubbing with
snow, or, in absence Of snow, ice
scrapings or ice water. The hands
or feet can be submerged in cold wa
ter and friction applied while in wa
ter, and as the color Of parts lis re-
stored, raise temperature Of water
gradually until normal condition OBJ

or lard and turpentine, or carbolic
salve and wrap in absorbent cotton.
If blisters had formed, prick with a
sterile needle. Care will have to be
taken for some time following to pre-
vent reoccurrence Of frost bite.
Caution Never take a person into
warm room who is suffering frost
bite. First restore parts. Heat will
cause gangrene!
