'MOTOR|ST ARRESTS
ARE HELD ILLEGAL
Action of Mount Rainier Au-
thorities Said to Be in Vio-
Iation of State Laws.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

|
BALTIMORE. Md, July 26.-Follow-
ing an investigation of a report that
town police of Mount Rainier, Prince
Georges County, have been conducting
speed trap in the village, E. Austin
Baughman, commissioner of motor We
hicles, notified the attorney general
that the village authorities have been
making arrests not in accord with the
State automobile laws.
The report turned over to the at
torney general also said that court
costs assessed the arrested offenders
amounted to $375 each instead of the
$l.45 which the State allows to be
charged.
Special Set Of Laws.
According to Mr.. Baughman, an in
VeStigator, who was assigned to make
an examination of the system employed
by the Mount Rainier officers, found
that a special set of motor-vehicle laws.
not in accord with those of the State,
had been enforced there since Septem-
Der 20, 1925, when the mayor and town
council passed local ordinances dealing
with speed limits, reckless driving,
lights, driving while drunk. etc. and
since that time the town constable has
been enforcing these ordinances.
the investigator also reported that
Eugene Plummer. chief of police, has
been using motor cycle since June of
this year, placing offenders of the town
ordinances under arrest and accepting
collateral from motorists at the road
side. This form of roadside trial was
permitted by a special clause in the
0rdlnanPaC nj ho vii
| necessity of the motorist appearing be-
fore a police magistrate or a clerk of
the court.
Probe to Continue.
The motor vehicle commissioner will
continue his investigation to ascertain
the disposal of collaterals obtained in
this manner and also fines levied by
local magistrates before whom motor
lists were taken instead of to the
Hyattsville branch of the Prince Georges
County Police Court, which, Mr.. Baugh-
man said, was the proper place of trial
The investigation also showed that
during the time the chief of police has
been serving as a motor cycle officer
more than twenty-five motorists have
been stopped for violations of the ordi-
nances and have forfeited collateral,
which was paid to the arresting officer
Inc attorney general was requested
to notify the Prince Georges County au-
thorities that the authorities of the
township have been illegally enforcing
law other than the State motor laws
| and that he take such steps as are
possible against the mayor, city coun-
Gil and Mr. Plummer as provided by
! the State laws covering such action.

Wire and Nails Often Fatal to
Livestock


Livestock
Farmers should take precautions
to prevent pieces of wire, nails, or
similar objects from being strewn
around where cattle, swine, or 9TH
er livestock may come in contact
with them. Besides the injury
which may be caused by the ami
mails stepping on such articles,
there is also the likelihood that the
animals may pick up these sharp
objects with their feed and swal-
low them, often with fatal results,
says DR.. w. L. Boyd, professor of
veterinary medicine at University
Farm, ST. Paul.
I'VE frequently observe the con-
dltlon known as traumatic indiges-
ton and occasionally pericarditis
or inflammation of the heart and it's
coverings, due to the migration of
foreign bodies to the heart sac"
says DR.. Boyd. "The type of for
eiegn body which causes the most
damage is the one which is sharp
on both ends. These occasionally oc-

SPEEDY RELIEF

This Doctors Prescription
Requires No Gargling

No longer is it necessary to
gargle and choke with nasty tast-
ing medicines to relieve sore throat.
Now you can get almost instant re-
lief with one swallow of a doctors
prescription. This prescription was
refilled so often and became so
popular that the druggist who orig
inally filled it decided to put it up
under the name Thoxine and make
it available to everyone.
The remarkable thing about
Thoxine is that it relieves almost
instantly, yet contains nothing
harmful. 1t is pleasant tasting, ami
safe for the whole family, and is
guaranteed to relieve sore threats

Agricultural Notes
Protect Trees From Ravages of
Rodents

Protect Trees From RavageS of
Rodents
Barking dogs don't bite, but bit
ing mice and other rodents do bark
and may bark fruit trees to such an
extent that death or severe injury
will result. Orchardists, therefore,
should take steps now to prevent
such damage by wrapping trees,
says w. G. Brierley, horticulturist,
University Farm, st. Paul.
Wire screen of one-four inch
mesh, commonly known as hard
ware cloth makes about the best
and cheapest wrapping in the long
run, Mr.. Brierley says. This ma
terial may be obtained in rolls, 18
inches wide, which will be about
the right height for the protectors.
Strips two feet long may be cut and
placed around the bottom of the
trees and fastened by means of
loops or wire at top and bottom.
Strips of the above length will
make wrappings approximately eight
inches in diameter and these may
be left on the trees for several
years. Wood veneer may also be
used. Care should be taken to get
the protectors about an inch down
into the ground so that mice can
not get under.
Wrappings of newspaper, burlap
or building paper may be used to
furnish protection, but these have
to be ermoved in the spring. Mr..
Brierley, however, warns specific
ally against the use of tarred paper
as both the tar and the gases
which it gives off are injurious to
trees and may do more damages
even than the rodents.

that these cats drank whole milk,
which, had it been SKINNED, would
have given 55.7 pounds or over 1-3
cans of cream testing 35 per cent
butterfat.
AS skimmilk Is an excellent feed
for cats, the feeding of whole
milk to these animals means an
unnecessary loss of valuable but
terfat. Although cats are valuable
on many farms for keeping down
mice and rats, they can be fed full
ly as well, if not better, when SKIM
milk replaces whole milk. The ex-
ira cream thus obtained adds ma
terially to the profits made from
cows.

The Story of Making Butter
BY Mildred LeSuer

On the farms the cream is put in
fresh clean cans. These cans are
taken to the creamery every few
days. When the cream reaches the
creamery it is first taken to the
weigh-room where both the sweet
and sour cream are weighed. Four
cents a pound more is paid for the
sweet than for the sour cream. At
ter the cream is weighed it is test
ed. The following process is used
in the testing of cream Eighteen
grams of cream, and eighteen
grams of sulphuric acid; is then
put in a tester. Cold water is put
in to separate the fat from the wat
er. After the cream stands in the
tester five minutes it is tested.
The farmer received his money &C
cording to to the test of the cream.
After the testing is done the
cream is sent through a sanitary
pipe to the watts. Here the purify
ing is done. The cream is heated
to one hundred fifty-five degrees
and kept at this temperature for
three hours. It is then cooled rap
idly by cold water running thru it.
When it reaches the cooling point
of fifty-six degrees it is ready to
be churned. The cream is then put
in churns and churned from fifty
five minutes to one hour before the
cream breaks thus bringing butter.
The butter is then taken from
churns and the buttermilk is
drained off. The matter left in the
buttermilk is called K. G. or curd
which settles to the bottom. The
butter is then washed with water
at the temperature of fifty-eight
degrees. After this process the but
ter is sailed, two and five-tenths
percent salt to one hundred pounds
of butter. The butter is then work
ed to dry, firm, smooth, waxy
body. 1t is then put in a wooden
box with a removable bottom. This
box is packed full of butter. A
frame made of wood with wires
across it so when the
frame is pressed down and
weight put on top of it the wires
cut out perfect pound. The
bottom is then removed with the
butter on it and taken to the cool
er. The temperature of this room
is about freezing point. The butter
is then put on rack and left for
four or five hours. The butter is
then ready to wrap. The butter to
BIT shipped is packed in tubs with
parafine Innings which hold about
pounds of butter.
The Cooperative Creamery in this
locality ships out six to seven hun
dred thousand pounds of butter an
nually. It sells from three to four
hundred pounds of butter day.
There are from two hundred and
fifty to two hundred and sixty Gus
toners daily. Most of the butter
made in the Land OLakes Cream
cry here is shipped to Duluth.
Hutzinger is noted dairyman,
who wrote a very interesting and
book on milk and
cream. He surveyed dairy condi
tons in America, Australia, Eur
ope, and other countries. The
creameries try to follow his ad-
vice closely.

Feeding Whole Milk to Pets Is

says the Blue Valley Creamery In

was accurately determined recent
ly by record kept in one herd of
an Iowa cow testing association,
which showed that the cats got 13
pounds of whole milk day, or 800
pounds a month. AS this milk
