Tho Increased high cost of dairy feeds has de
wnded that the dairy farmer become a specialist
la cow rations. Tho prolltable production of milk
On a dulry farm Involves two very dllllcult prob
tans: The formation of a herd that will glvo In
Cba milk pall liberal returns for the cost of feed
mad aire, and caring for the milk to keep It in thu
best marketable condition. It was found several
fart uro that two or three cows might bo large
Vroducera while the remainder of a herd of a dozen
cows would poslbly fall to glvu sulllclent milk to
pay their board bill. This fact has caused the
orcanlzatton of thu community cow-testing asso
ciations In various parts of the country, this work
ilavlng ns Its object the calculation of thu Indi
vidual cow's production. Hy the old of tho Hub
ooclt testing apparatus, modern dairymen place
their cows on record, giving due credit for butter
Xttt produced. This work has built up oao of tho
highest specialized features of present-day farm-
tag.
A great and Intricate problem la Involved in
supplying cities with milk and In meeting the grow
ing demands of such centers with puro milk. Chi
cago alone consumes 1,000,000,000 quarts of milk
auuunlly, while thousands of cans of condensed
mill; and pasteurized milk are used for breakfast.
Milk Is shipped from farms as far as 'MM) miles
away, reaching the city In tlmo for breakfast tho
next morning. Hecause of thu Immense demand
for milk, the necessity of having it of the highest
quality and the need for an economical method
of collection and distribution, grent milk com
panies were formed several years ago, which
erected milk-collectlug stations In Illinois nnd ad
joining states, along tho railroads, where milk Is
received for shipment. The milk thus received
direct from the farmers Is handled In the best pos
sible manner, shipped In 40-quurt cans, by thu car
load. The "milk train" Is one of the common
phases of all railroads connecting with it largo
American city today.
The task of supplying grent cities with milk has
become a highly specialized Industry. The process
of gathering, transporting and distributing tho
fresh milk supply of a largo city Is one of tho
complex tasks confronting those who provide tho
country's dally food. The entire milk production
of thu country must be cared for every day. Fresh
milk Is the only product that must quickly come to
the consumer. It cannot bo stored when there Is
a Hood of It and carried over until there Is a whort
age, although modern refrigeration has served to
solve a part of this problem. Today's supply must
meet tomorrow's demand.
When one realizes that the city of Chicago must
have ri.oon.DOO pounds of milk dally, It Is easily
understood that prompt conversion of this product
into money Is no small task. The changes In tho
geographic distribution of tho population of the
United States, In the centers of agricultural pro
duction, and In the methods of transportation have
had a marked Influence on tho localization of the
dairy Industry. In early days the dairy farmer
supplied demands within n restricted area, but the
development of railroads and refrigeration hns
had considerable effect on tho character of the In
dustry In Us centralization.
Milk has heen a food and drink for young nnd
old ever since prehistoric times, and the reason
for this Is that milk Is one of the most desirable of
human foods. It remained for modern analytical
processes to prove that milk Is thu cheapest and
most valuable of food products, especially when
compared with meat. The department of agricul
ture has discovered that for 115 cents worth of a
given product, milk is a more valuable food than
meat.
The grim words employed by tho South Carolina
hoard of health, "A lly In thu milk may mean a
baby In the grave," have gone over the land and
left their Impression upon thu minds of farmers
and milk consumers. Files bear germs, and a .sin
gle germ In a .milk bottle breeds a deadly million
In a few hours. Too often during tho last C0
years we havu read of epidemics of typhoid and
similar diseases being traced directly to a contam
inated milk supply.
Of aft huuuin foods, possibly nnno Is moro sue
ceptlble to contamination than milk, particularly
In hot weather when In tho months of June, .Inly
nnd August, the babies of tho country die by thu
thousands. Diseases of the digestive organs cause
10 per cent of tho deaths in many cities. Cow's
milk Is the exclusive food for a great majority of
the American children up to the time they are one
year old, and It Is tho chief food of practically all
children from the age of onu to live. Tho white
ness and opaqueness of milk servo as a covering
and shelter for Insoluble substances.
The theory that clean milk possesses long-keeping
qualities has been found true with certltled
milk. Instances are on record whero certllled milk
has been taken on en ocean voyage and not only
brought back In good condition, but also kept sweet
until 510 days old. When your milk is sour after
n few hours, It Is certain that It la not clean milk.
A number of certllled milk dairies In tho United
States Rent exhibits of mill; to tho Paris exhibition
In 1000, and tho milk kept sweet for two weeks,
HIG& Cfr&JSZCCff COFS&
and In somu Instances 18 days, after being bottled
following a summer Journey of 51,000 and -1,000
miles. This merely serves to Illustrate what milk
consumers may expect for the future pure products.

Tho demand for Ice cream has been a great ben
efit to the dairy Industry by the absorption of the
milk surplus. Millions of gallons of leu cream are
manufactured from artificial Ingredients, duo to
luck of dairy products to meet the growing de
mand for this toothsome and refreshing article.
Nevertheless, nearly 18.000,000 gallons of Ice
cream are annually manufactured from cream und
milk. This branch of tho dairy Industry has
achieved Its greatest growth during the last de
cade, owing to tho lucreased number of summer re
sorts and parks.
The Ice cream factories of the United States an
nually demand 5!0.X)0.(KH) gallons, or U.'O.OoO.tKM)
pounds, of cream; l!30,0(XMMH) pounds of whole
milk, and 15,000,000 gallons of condensed mt'l:.
Taking 14 cents as the average price paid for each
gallon of milk, leu cream factories each year pay
the enormous sum of SIIL'.OOO.OOO to f arnmr for
raw muterlaK The Ice cream when retailed brings
a price of 100,000,000, standing foremost among

orator who lately spoke in Baltimore.
In u speech made in another city he
alisentmliidedl.v put his linger In his
mouth and in an outburst of ener

Later on, exigencies more or less
common to suffering humanity
caused him to part with ,fie offend
ing teeth and replace them with a
good brand of urtlllchil ones. But the
remembrance ot the former still
rankled, and when he begun his
preparations to speak In Baltimore
he removed the teeth carefully, ami
putting them on the table beside him,

remarked: "Safety first."
Frog Catchers Busy.
It seems that the home side of the

With frog catching snail catching is
allied; the frogs go to some restau

chlelly bought as cleaners of suburban

Russia's Natural Roads.
Russia Is almost u roadless laud. It
Is inconceivable to the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track of
the railways In Russia how a great em
