We have had B. L. X.
Mixer in continuous use on our
herd here for almost four years
and are glad to say it has been
very satisfactory.
The machine is easily kept
clean and inexpensive in opera
ton. We run our mixer with
a IL H. P. International en-
CINE and find it plenty large.
We do no hand stripping and
have had no udder trouble in
our herd.
We certainly could not go
back to the hand milking idea.
We recommend a B. L. K.

Explain Regarding
The Private and
Special Fish Laws

AS there seems to be some misun-
Outstanding in regard to private and
special fish laws, the department of
inland fisheries and game has issued
the following explanation.
"As will be noted by the private
and special fish laws, issued in con-
formity with the requirements of the
last Legislature, which have been
published recently in the newspapers
in each county, majority of the
former regulations closing waters to
fishing and otherwise restricting
fishing are to be retained, and there
will be no lapse between the date of
expiration of the old regulations AMI
the date the new ones become eff
fective. The old code of 1921 was
promulgated for a period of four
years from July 7th of that year, and
the new code was promulgated to
become effective July 7th, 1925.
Within the past few days, the de-
partment has received inquiries from
various parts of the State asking If
certain regulations would be allowed
to lapse, but the department, has in
formed its correspondents tt It with
very few exceptions the old regula-
tons will be retained, the new code
taking effect as of the day the ORR
ginal code expires, so there will be
no opportunity for fishing In the
waters on which the restrictive regu-
latons are to be retained.

BOOST THE NYE MEMORIAL FUND

Here is an opportunity for every
Maine booster to show his apprecia-
ton of Maine and it's brilliant sons
and daughters who have won honors
in their respective fields of endeavor.
Citizens of the state of North Caro-
lima are joining in an undertaking
for the erection at Fletcher, N. g, OF
a memorial tablet to Names illus
trious humorist, Edgar Wilson Nye
(Bill Nye). and the memorial COM
mittee has requested that the modest
sum of $3.50 be contributed by the
people of Maine.
Less than half of the quota has
been raised and the time is short
before the money should be turned
over to the memorial committee. 1t
is planned to unveil and dedicate the
tablet on the 18th anniversary OIL
Nye's birth, August 25 Of this year
Nye was born in the little town or
Shirley in this State. He became
one Of the foremost humorists and
lecturers Of his day. In line with the
Boost Maine" campaign, there
should be a steady response to the
appeal for funds for this most
worthy project and the sum sought
should be oversubscribed in very
short time.
Readers OF NyeS DOCKS anu tnOSe
who were fortunate enough to have
heard him on the lecture platform.
have been among the first to re-
spond to the appeal for funds. To
those who have not read his books,
it is suggested that they procure
from the libraries in their respective
towns and cities some of his works,
and they will quickly discover the
genius of the man.
All Journal readers who are will
ing to assist in this undertaking.

TUCKER TAKES

GRADE MILK Law

1.-THE public has been treated to
many pointed and hysterical arti-
cles recently regarding the terrible
effect and injustice to Maine dairy
men provided the State law defining

III. M. Tucker. chief of the division
of animal industry of the State de-

Gle released Tuesday to the press.
$50 far as the writer has OBJ
served" continued Mr.. Tucker in
the article, these articles, however,
have not come from producers of
milk but those who evidently as
pire to be considered as reform
leaders. I have no words Of con-
domination for such aspirants so
long as they point out the right way
and their leadership brings about
conditions that are an Improvement
over the past. / am frank to say,
however, that in my opinion they
have, in their eagerness to WELD
the cudgel in the defensive over

to saddle condition that is purely
local to Portland onto the whole

II would like to take sufficient
space in your paper to discuss the
issue briefly from Statewide view
point. For the past two years a
small percentage OF milk distributors
throughout Maine have conceived
the idea that they could increase
their trade by labelling their milk
Grade A. This was easily accom-.
plished. as milk bottle caps thus
marked are for sale on the open
market and there was no law to pre-
vent their use. Because Of this It

the money expended in carrying on
this fight to get the law repealed
had been expended in changes and
equipment to bring the diaries up to
higher standard that all, or near
ly all, could have made the required
80 points easily, and how much more
sane and sensible this would have
been! This controversy is bound to
curtail consumption. 1t always does.
Organize If you wish, but organize
for a campaign of better methods,
better equipment and better milk.
DIR. Potter says our farmers
know that they cannot meet this re-
quirement." AS long as they sit
down, and say Il can't" and as long
as their leaders tell them they can't
they certainly will not. AS matter
of fact most Of them know that they
can if they try. A few slight changes
will, in many cases, suffice to put
across a score of 50 per cent as far
as the State is concerned, and this
law defining Grade A. milk is what
we here at Augusta are interested
in. We have no jurisdiction over
the local requirements of youG board
of health. One of the duties of the
Department of Agriculture Is to en-
force the laws and regulations insur-
ing honest products to the consumer
and when a man sells a customer a
bottle of milk marked Grade A
without its being whit better than
he has formerly sold or any better
than his neighbors who do not so
label, he is deceiving his customers
and any one will agree that he
should be stopped.
ION the other hand, there Is no
one in the Agricultural Department
from Commissioner Washburn down
but what has the interest of every
Maine farmer uppermost IT. his mind
and heart and we honestly believe
that this law will work out to the
advantage of the dairy business II
you will stop kicking and get down
to work. The writer used pail and
milking stool for 30 years and ought
to be classified as deserter If his
sympathies were not with the dairy
men, but he succeeded in getting
better price for his dairy product
than his neighbor because he pro-
duced a better quality. He has no
sympathy at all with men like the
one who, in a recent meeting or
Portland producers stated that he
had saved five hundred dollars for
new equipment but had decided to
use it instead in fighting this Grade
A. law. I ask any fair minded per-
son where the five hundred dollars
would do the most good. considering
both himself and the public? l
honestly believe that, if every dairy
man in Maine was fully informed re-
garding this law their would not be
five hundred signers to the referen-
dunn petition. Why not play fair y

All Maine continues to pour praise
upon Karnak. 1t seems that the

this remarkable medicine become
more and more sensational as new
tests are made, and John Coughlin Is
reporting an ever increasing demand
for the medicine that has already
smashed all former sales records in
Augusta.
Nobod..- seems to be able to find
words strong enough to express their
gratitude for what Karnak has done
for them, but with one accord they all
declare that the claims made for
Karnak are too mild.
Another grateful man who has been
SO remarkably benefited by Karnak
is Joseph Lemelin, well known gro

role and is supported by a cast that
