 BILL POSTPONED UNTIL THURSDAY

 slider Measure
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU | THE AGE-HERALD ]

Because the senate committee on finance and taxation desired another day in which to. give consideration to the revenue bill before 1t came up for passage, the legislature Tuesday afternoon voted to recess until Thursday at 10 o'clock and the sen- ate postponed the revenue bill from Tuesday afternoon till Thursday.
 The senate committee is hopeful that the revenue bill passed by the senate will be acceptable to the rnem- bers of the house who forced numer- ous changes when it came up for passage and that the bill can be de- livered to Governor Brandon during the next few days. Conferences have been held with the view of ad- justing differences between the membership of the two houses.
 The revenue bill had been made a special order in the senate and if was the opinion of members at re- cess last Thursday that it would be hnally acted upon before any other legislation was considered.
 The greatest committee day in the history of the present session of the legislature will be Wednesday and committees will sit beginning early in the morning and continuing until late at night.

Ropiness in Milk Caused
by Growth of Bacteria

A ropy or sllmy condition Of milk,
sometimes noticeable after the milk
has stood several hours, Is caused by
the growth of certain class Of bac-
terra which gain entrance after the
milk Is drawn.
Though probably not more injurious
than ordinary sour milk. this condi-
ton is especially troublesome, as the
bacteria are passed along through YES
sells and otherwise to other milk and
even to the dairies of an entire COM
munity.
The remedy is thorough washing and
sterilizing of everything that in any
way comes in contact with the milk.
Chlorinated lime, or bleaching powder,
Mt the rate of IL or 16 ounces to the
100 gallons of water Is recommended
by the dairy department of the Ohio

Heavy Loss from Cholera Feared

NashingtOn.-HOg cholera is Decom-
ing more prevalent this fall than in
any year since the decline of the last
extensive outbreak, which reached Its
height in 1914, the Department of Ag-
riculture announced here few days
ago. Reports show the disease has
appeared recently in communities
which have been free from 1t for twen-
ty-five years. In many localities it
gained considerable headway before
hog raisers realized the nature or the
trouble.
Unless hog owners and veterinary
practitioners are on the alert and act
promptly, the department experts de-
clare, the losses will be unusually
heavy this fall. Most of the losses
thus far, they say, have been que to
the neglect of farmers to call their
veterinarians In time to administer
preventive treatment before the infec-
ton has had time to reach all OF the
swine In the herd
There is q large proportion Of sus-
ceptible animals in the country this
year because the comparative freedom
of most states from chOrela, the ex-
pense of procuring serum, virus and
veterinary service, the high prices OF
corn and the seemingly low price Of
hogs caused many farmers to fail to
have their herds immunlzed last
spring.

Costs Less to Keep Clean.

More than 25O.OOO deaths ind over
100000 cases Of serious illness an
nually are ascribed by Federal and
State health reports to needlessly un-
sanitary conditions. 1t is an amazr
ing fact that most Of this needless
lack of sanitation Is found, not in
the cities, but among the rural and
small-town population.
Yet wholly sanitary conditions may
be brought about in the country just as
quickly and easily as in the city. Tho
actual expenditure involved Is very
small, especially when you consider
how much the family's health will be
improved as result. It will assure
also, of course great improvement
In comfort.
Septic tanks, privy vaults, protec-
ton for domestic water supplies, rat
proof outbuildings-all of these can
be provided for little cost and lit
tie work by any man. Full directions

Increase Productiveness
of Herd by Better Sires

Keeping books with your cows is
the only sure way to build herd of
high producers. By selecting cows on
their records, discarding the unprotit-
able ones, using only good pure bred
sires, and raising heifer calves from
the best cows, one Is sure to increase
the productiveness of the herd.
1t Is also advisable to weigh each
milking because 1t enables one to feed
intelligently and If sickness. neglect
or abuse has caused COW to drop in
milk remedy may be applied before
the loss becomes serious.
Weighing milk creates interest
among the mixers and encourages
clean milking and careful treatment
Of the cows.
The greatest source Of loss to the
dairy industry Is the Improbable COW.
A certain cheese factory paid one of
its patrons $S77 for the product of
eight cows while 1t gave another
patron $S6S for the milk from % cows

She dare not venture to advance
her face around the rock edge, for
fear the movement might bring her

The fellow was evidently waiting and
watching just as she was, disconnected
by her strange disappearance. No
doubt he half believed his bullet had

waiting for him to gain courage to

out beyond the edge of the rock, and
pointed downward. A stone ratified

The muffled report echoed back from

charge faded into darkness, and the
pungent smoke blew back into her
face; but there was nothing else. No
cry. no crunch of falling body, no
thud of lead. She listened helplessly,
half crazed to empty every load from

Increase of approximately % per cent.
The 1922 attendance was over 80 per
cent greater than in 1921.
During the last season tourists reg
istered at the park from thirty-nine
states. One party of three came from

"The opening of the new federal aid

report. "Thls new highway cuts out
the present Wolf Creek pass, making
an easier road at 1000 feet lower ele-
