MILK FOR LARGE CITIES
Agr'cnkural Dopartment Instiei Bulletin
Dealing with Th.t Importmt Subject
THINKS LITTLE OF PASTEURIZATION
Katnrat Milk Prodored and Delivered
In Tare and Protected Condition
In Superior o Treated
Article.
WASHINGTON. Aug. SO.-Ths Agricul
tural department has made a contribution
to the general discussion on the quality
of milk supplied to it ! In the shape of
a bulletin on that subject, a large part of
which la devoted to the question of trans
portation. The bulletin says the agitation
of the question of Impure milk has resulted
In Improved practices on the part of per
sons handling this article of food, but
there Is still much room for Improvement.
For Instance attention Is called to the
fact that the Ideal vessel for the convey
ance of milk rema:ns to be discovered.
There are many cities and towns which
have no legal regulations whatever con
cerning milk. The opinion Is expressed
thst the agitation of the question has
caused much unnecessary alarm.
The figures show that 1,000.000.000 gallons
of milk are sold annually and the average
quantity per capita, consumed In the
largest cities la leas than two-thirds of a
pints. The smallest consumption Is In
New Orleans, where it is about one-fourth
of a pint. Milk la sold from 12,000 stores
In New York city, or an average of ons
store to every 26 persons, and It Is de
livered from 4,000 wagons, or an average
of one wagon to every 859 persons. In cities
with a population of above 50,000 there is
an average of one wagon to about 784 per
sons. Some cities reported several hun
dred cows In herds within their boundaries
and most cities have quite a number of
cows kept singly for the private use of
the families owning them.
The sales show a wide variation In the
prices paid for milk in different parts of
the country. Producers usually receive
on their farms from 2 to 3 cents a quart
In the summer and 8 cents or more In win
ter, but these limits are often exceeded.
On the other hand, in some cases and In
aome seasons, producers receive less than
2 cents a quart. The average price paid
by consumers of milk when retailed in
small quantities Is about 6 cents In summer
and 7 cents In winter. The report says:
The practioe of pasteurization appears to
b gradually extending, yet tl.e mtdtcal
fraternity Is divided in opinion as to Its
expediency and the best fcentlment favors
natural milk produced and delivered In
such pure and protected condition as to
be greatly superior to eny pasteuriwd ar
ticle. Too often milk Is offered for sale
with the claim that It has been pasteur
ised, when It has been actually more
harmed than helped, the process to which
It has been subjected being unworthy the
name. If done at alt. pasteurization should
be in the hands of competent persons, hav
ing emcient apparatus.
Many suggestions are made for the Im
provement of the milk supply, among which
are the following:
The registration of all dairies.
Official Indorsement of properly conducted
dairies.
Inspection of nil herds, barns, dairy
bulletins, etc.. once a month.
Better lighting, ventilation, drainage and
Cleanliness or cow statues.
Whitewashing Interior of stable. 1
Eradication of tuberculosis from dairy
Herds.
Bradtng of condemned cows.
Cows not to be given swill feed, etc.
Cows to he regularly cleaned.
Pasturage for city cows.
Aeration of milk in nure alrT.
Prompt cooling of milk and holding It at
Int. nmnprtliiri. until final delivery.
Shipment of milk from farms promptly
arrer miming.
, Delivery of milk and cream In te..led
pac gages.

. Giving In Spain.
I wish we Americans would adopt the
Spanish style of giving. There are occa
slons when a host, warmed to the cockles
of his heart by the congeniality and per
sonal magnetism of a guest, will give to
him -whatever he particularly admires
among the household gods. In Spanish-
speaking, Spanish-conquered, Spanish-lost
countries this giving Is understood to be a
sort of a compliment with a string tied to
It. The guest "Ah! What a lovely
porcelain! I have never seen Its equal
borne rare work of the middle ages." "Do
you like it? says the pleased host. ' "It la
yours." They shake hands, slap each
other on the shoulder and renew old friend
ship. But the host knows that the present
will never leave his house, and the guest,
understands that ths gift Is not bis, except
in the meaning. New York Press.

AN UNPROFESSIONAL OPINION
y sj, LerlM Cssisilni.
When Natalie Hall married Clarke Dex
ter the people who prophesied that she
would not be happy were so very much In
he minority that no one paid heed to
them. i
"Dexter's opinion of himself will have to
be whittled down several Inches before
he'll make any women's life what It ought
to be," one man had said. But everyone
knew thst the speaker would gladly have
stood In Dexter's shoes, so he did not
count.
Nevertheless not many months had
passed before a vague uncertainty began
to, grow in the heart of Natalie Dexter,
which, had the minority known It, would
have caused them to exclaim complacently,
'I told you so!"
As to Dexter, while still very much In
love with his wife, he frankly admitted
to himself that a woman of more penetra
tion, In other words, one more keenly alive
to the rare intellectual qualities of Clurke
Dexter, attorney at law, might have proved
a more congenial companion.
It was a warm day In early summer.
After a hard five hours In court Dexter as
cended the steps of the pretty suburban
ilia which he called home somewhat be
fore his usual time. With the Jangle of
ths day still on his nerves he dropped
Into a low chair on the piazza.
Presently his own name reached him as
through a base. Dexter opened his eyes
lazily, realizing that for a moment he had
been blessedly unconscious.
"But surely, dear, you and Clarke are
ery happy?"
The repeated question, coming through
an open window where the air softly stirred
some light draperies, pricked him Into
complete wakefulness. An aunt to his
wife, who had been to her as a mother,
was visiting them. Dexter recognized her
voice.
He found himself listening intently for
the reply. It came guardedly.
If you mean do we get on. Aunt Grace,
I suppose we do; as well ns nine-tenths
of the ptxple we know, perhaps."
"But, my dear, that Is different to the
married life I had hoped for you."
It Is different to the married life I
had hoped for myself."
Dexter sat up, too annoyed to realize
that he was listening to a conversation not
meant for his ears.
"The fact is" Natalie Dexter paused.
"What, dear?"
"It seems abominable to say, but you
are the only mother I have ever known.
There would be a greater chance of happi
ness for Clarke and me If If something
occurred to disillusionize him a little with
his , own attainments.''
Had Clarke Dexter walked against a
stone wall on a clear day he would not
have been so surprised as he was by these
words in his wife's voice.
But, my . dfcar, Clarke has surely soma
right-to feel complacent with his attain
ments. Not yet 30, and fast climbing to the
top of the tree In his profession."
Dexter blessed Miss Hall In his heart
"Don't I know that. Auntie? In the hours
that I have sat and thought it all out I
have come to this jrlnlon that all his Ufa
long everything, even his wife, has come
to Clarke too easily. It must have been
so at school and college. His grasp of a
thing Is so Immediate and absolute that it
makes him Intolerant with what ha consld
ers the stupidity of others, especially with
mine."
Yours?" Miss Hall's voice bristled with
Indignation.
Yes, mine. The one fact which Clarke
does not seem to nave mastered Is that a
Woman's mind may be as keen as a man's
ar.d yet remain feminine."
"Testerday," she went on, "he stood and
watched me when I took up this embroid
ery. It puszled and almost irritated him
that I cculd be Interested In what was to
htm so trivial. When he turned away ths
very angle of his shoulders said as plainly
as words that the mind which could find
absorption In a bundle of colored silks and
a piece of fine linen must be a small af
fair."
A slow red mounted painfully to the
cleatvshaven face of the man on the piazza.
'Do you know what it brought to my mind
Aunt Grace?"
"No, dear." Miss Hall's voice was dull
with distress.
'One of your days 'at home' In Wash
lngton. When most of the people had gone
Judge Doane dropped in for his usual cup
of tea. , 1 was finishing a tea cloth for
yjur birthday and he came and stood be-
slJe me. Presently he said, 'I wonder If
a woman's hands ever look so charming
as when they are occupied with needle
work.' And when you told him that I had
arranged the orchids on a table and copied
them with my needle he e: claimed, 'Why,
child, yob are an artist! That Is literal
needle painting.' "
Clarke Dexter's eyes, which a few hours
before had scintillated with the Joy of lay
ing skilfully concealed traps for the feet
of an unwary witness, stared before him
no In blank amazement. Judge Doane!
Only that morning he had held In reserve
a decision of the great Justice and played
It as his trump card. And this man had
found time to admire his wife's pretty
hands snd be interested In her dainty work
When she spoke again her tone was so
hurt that Dexter -felt something clutch at
his heart.
"I don't believe Clarke would belie ve
that I could originate anything even a tie
sign for fancy work and the worst of it
Is that I am fast descending to the level
of his opinion."
The unhspplness in her voice had been
like a stream, restrained at first, but gain
ing such force from the tributaries of
thought that the weak barriers of caution
were swept away. Her next words revealed
Its truo depth,, and current appallingly to
the man who had taken her young life
Into his keeping. He could have knelt in
contrition and k.fsed the hem of her pretty
gown.
. "I. shall not offer this cloth to the church
after all,", she said firmly. "I have
stitched so many bitter disillusions with
life Into It that it would be sacrilege. There
are placs I cannot bear to look at, for
every thread was a protest against God."
"What was thst?" Miss Hall looked up
at a sound on the plazsa.
Natalie Dexter went to the window and
drew aside the curtain. Someone was dis
appearing around the corner of the house,
but her vision wss too blurred to distin
guish who It was.
It was almost a year later. Winter
seemed to have stepped back and taken a
reluctant earth In a last embrace.
Before a blazing log fire In the library
Dexter and his wife sat. indulging In one
of their many bon camerade discussions,
which were as the striking 'of flint and
steel.
More then once he had risen and paced
the floor, with hands thrust deep Into his
pockets, when his wife's keen wit and wo
man's Instinct met snd baffled him.
"Come." he said, holding out one hand
to her. "I don't admit that I'm beaten by
any means, but I know one thing I'm rav
enous. Let's go and see If we can t find
something cold In the larder."
Natalie Dexter arose and laid her hands
on her husband's shoulders. The eyes
which looked Into his were so caressing
that hs went toward her, but she held him
back.
"Clarke," she said slowly, "there's some
thing I wsnt to ask you. You have
grown so Immensely In the laat year, there
4s not a trace of the the you will forgive
me, dear little touch of Intolerance of
egotism which "
Dexter took the glowing face between
his hands and paused to kiss the halting
Hps.
'The Improvement," hs said slowly, "Is
the result of unprofessional opinion."

CATTLE There was quite a string of
cnttle reported this morning, but the bulk
of them were consigned direct to local
packers. Those that were on sale were In
tended for yesterday's market, but were de
layed by the washouts on the railroads.
For the week receipts show a decrease of
over 6.0W head, as compared with last week,
and as compared with the corresponding
week of last year there is a loss of nearly
16,000 head. The increase In receipts for
the year to date now amounts to about 117,
tW head.
Most of the cattle that srrived today were
comfed steers and the big bulk of them was
good enough to bring $5.25. Most of the
Talesmen thought the cattle did not sell to
quite as good advantage as they would hud
they arrived yesterday, owing to the fact
that packers sre never very anxious for
cattle on a Saturday. The commoner cattle
In particular were hard to pell at satisfac
tory prices. As compared with a week ago
the market may safely be quoted 15ii25c
higher, on everytning except wurmea-ups,
which come In competition with the west
erns. They have shown very little Improve
ment. GJod to choice cattle sell from $5.00
to $5.55, the latter price being paid yester
dav, which Is-the highest price of the year
to 'date. Fair to good steers sell from $4.75
to $6.00 and the commoner kinds from $4.75
down.
Cows are selling In practically tho same
notches thev were a week ago. The quality
of the bulk of the offerings has been rather
Inferior and for that reason the common
kinds are, if anything, a shade lower. Good
cows, however, have been very scarce and
are fully steady for the week. Good to
choice cornfed cows may be quoted from
$3.75 to $4.40, snd some heifers that were
fed with steers sold this week at $5.25. The
bulk of the fair to good grass cows sell
from $2.75 to $3.25. with the medium kinds
going from $2.40 to $2.60 and canners from
$1.60 to $2.26.
Hulls, veal calves and stags have not
shown enough change all the week to be
worthy of mention.
There lias been a good, brisk demand for
feeders all the week In spite of the heavy
rains which 'made it impossible to ship
stock for a couple of days. As compared
with the close of last week prices on good
stuff sre, if anything, a little hleher. some
sales showing an advance of 10i15e. Com
mon kinds, though, are not quotably hlpher.
The good to choice grades have been selling
from $3.75 to $4.10. fair to good from $3.40 to
$3.75 and the less desirable kinds from $3.25
down. Dehorned cattle sell to better ad
vantage than horned cattle of the same
quality and the advance has been mostly
on the former kind.
There has been a light run of western
rsnge cattle here this week, considering
i the time of year, and the quality has been
verv common. There have in fact been no
gOOO to cnoice wrnirrn ieri nit-t-ra ini.-r.-ii
to. make a test of values, but it is safe
to sav that anything desirable would have
sold higher. The better grades of raiiRe
rows are about steady for the week and
sell largely from $2.75 to $3.25. The medium
grades go largely from $2.40 to K 60, while
the common kinds sell from $226 down.
Western stockers and feeders are steady
to strong for the week and are selling at
the prices quoted above. Representative

HOGS There was only a fair run of hogs
here today for a Saturday and the market
ruled steady to strong. Trading though
was not very active, partly because pawn
ers did not like to pay the prices, but
principally becuuse the trains were late in
arriving, which always has a bad effe t
upon the market. The quality of the of
ferings was also a little off, us there were
no choice lights at all on sale. Heavy
hogs sold largely from $5.26 to $5.30, medium
weights went from $5.30 to $5.40. and the
lighter loads sold from $5.40 to $5.52. There
was not much change In the market,
though toward the close heavy hogs, if
anything, wers a little weaker.
For the week receipts of hogs have been
fairly liberal, as there is an Increase over
last week amounting to about 6.0o0 head,
and, as compared with the same week last
yesr, there is a gain of 10.000 head. Prices
have fluctuated back and forth consider
ably during, the week, but the average -ost
for the week is considerably higher than
for last week At the close of the week
though prices are only a shade higher than
they were a week ago. Representative

SHEEP There were no sheep on sale
this morning, although there were a few
cars reported to arrive Inter In the day.
For the week receipts have been light, 'is
there is a slight decrease compared with
hist week and ns compared with the cor
responding week of last year there Is n
falling hit amounting to over 30,000 head.
The Increase for tho year to date now
amounts to only about kx.oOO head.
For the week the market has been In
very satisfactory condition. On some days
trading was not ns brisk as might be de
sired, but still taking the week as a whole,
the offerings have been well cared for and
pricts have stayed In verv much the same
notches. Early In the week prices eased
off about a dime, but at the close of the
week there Is very little change to note In
the prices ruling on good stuff fmm those
paid at the close of last week. If there Is
any change at all It is on the common
stuff, and that Is not more than a shade
lower. This is true of lambs as well ss of
sheep. Choice lambs have been very scarce
sll ths week and In fact nothing strlctlv
choice has been offered In some little time.
The demand for feeders lias been brisk
snd each day's receipts hare sold freely at
just about steady prices.
