THE OMAHA D AILY BEE: MONDAY, AUGUST 31 1903 MILK FOR LARGE CITIES] Agrioultural Department Issues Bulletin Dealing with Th.s Important Subject. LITTLE OF THINKS PASTEURIZATION Natn Milk Produced and Delivered in Pare nnd Protected Condition i Superior to Treated Articte, Aug. 30.—The Agricul- tural department has made a contribution to' the general discussion on the quality of milk supplied to cities in the shape of @ bulletin on that subject, a large part of which is 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- gons handiing 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 remams to be discovered. There are many cities and towns which have no legal regulations whatever con- cerning milk. The opinfon is expressed that 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 s less than two-thirds of a pinte. The smallest consumption is in New Orieans, where it is about one-fourth of a pint. Milk is sold from 12,000 stores in New York city, or an average of one store to every 286 persons, and it is de- livered from 4,000 wagons, or an average of one wagon to every 850 persons. In cities with & population of above 50,000 there is an average of one wagon to about 784 per- mons. Some cities reported several hun- dred cows In herds within their boundaries and most citics 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 pald for milk in different parts of the country. Producers usually recelve on their farms from 2 to 3 cents a quart in the summer and 3 cents or more in win- ter, but these limits are often exceeded. On the other hand, in some cases and in some seasons, producers receive less than 2 cents a quart. The average price pald by consiimers of milk when retalled in small quantities is about 6 cents in summer and 7 cents in winter. The report says: The practice of pasteurization appears to be gradually extending, yet the modical fraternity I8 divided in opinion as o Its expediency and the best sentiment favors natural milk produced and delivered n such pure and protected condition as to be greatly superior to any pasteurized ar- ticle. Too n’jlon milk is offered for sale with the claim that it has been pasteur- fzed, when it has been actually more harmed than helped, the process to which it has been subjected being unworthy the name. If done at all, pasteurization should bs in the hands of competent persons, hav- ing effcient 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 all herds, barns, bulldings, etc., once a month, Botter ilghting, ventilation, drainage and liness of cow stables, Whitewashing interior of utable. Eradication of tuberculosis from dairy WASHINGTON, dalry he Brading of condemned cows. “ows not 1o be given swlll feed, ete. Cows to be regularly cleaned. Pasturage for city cows. Aeration of milk in pure air. Prompt cooling of milk and holding it at a low ?.mp@rllure until final delivery, Shipment of milk from farms promptly after milkin, livery of milk and cream In eeuled packages.

MERGER OF TRADES UNIONS Proposal te Consolidate All Those PITTSBURG, 0.—According to Frank Buchanan, president of the Inter- national Bridge and Structural Iron Work- ers, it is planned to amalgamate the six powertul structural trades into & mighty national bullding trades councll of 600,00 workmen and the absorption by these six of the smaller bullding trades, such granite cutters, marble polishers, stone cutty eto.

AN UNPROFESSIONAL OPINI By M, Lovise Commins When Natalie Hall married Clarke Dex- ter the people who prophesied that she would not be happy were so very much in the minority that no one paid heed to them “'Dexter's opinion of himself will have to be whittled down several inches before he'll make any woman's life what it ought to be,”” one man had msald. But everyone knew that 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 Natalle Dexter, which, had the minority known it, would have caused them to exclaim complacently, “1 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 allve to the rare intellectual qualities of Clarke 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 villa ‘which he called homé somewhat be- fore his usual time. With the jangle of the day still on his nerves he dropped into a low chair on the plazza. Presently his own name reached him as through a hage. Dexter opened his eyes lazlly, realizing that for a moment he had been blessedly unconsclous. “But surely, dear, you and Clarke are very 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 as nine-tenths of the puople we know, perhaps.’ “But, my dear, that is different to the married life 1 had hoped for you." “It fs different to the married had hoped for myself."” Lexter eat up, too annoyed to realize that he was listening to a conversation not meant for his ears. “The fact is—"' Natalle 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 happl- 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 dear, Clarke has surely somo 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 combe to this srinfon—that all his life long everything, even his wifc, has come to Clarke too easily. It must have been 80 at school and college. His grasp of a thing s so Immediate and absolute that it makes him intolerant with what ha consid- ers the stupldity of others, especlally with mine.” “Yours?" 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 ard yet remaln feminine. “Yesterday,” she went on, “he stood and watched me when I took up this embrold- ery. It pussled and almost irritated him that 1 cculd be interested In what was to him so trivial. When he turned away the very angle-of his shoulders sald as plainly A8 words that the mind which could find abzorption in a bundle of colored silks and a plece of fine linen must be a small af- tair.” A slow red mounted painfully to the clean-shaven face of the man on the piazza. “Do you know what it brought to my mind, Aunt Grace “No, dear.” with distress. “One of your days ‘at home' in Wash- ington. When most of the people had gone Judge Doane dropped in for his u of tea. 1 was finishing n tea for your birthday and he came and stood be- side me. Presently he said, ‘I wonder if| a woman's hands ever look so charming as when they are occupled with needle- work.' And when you told him that I had arrunged the orchids on a vable and copled them with my needle he e claimed, ‘Why, child, you 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 sklifully concealed traps for the feet of an unwary witness, stared before him now 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 and be Interested in her deinty work. When she spoke again her tone was so hurt that Dexter felt something clutch at his heart. don't believe Clarie belteve that I could originate anything—even a de sign for fancy work—and the worst of it Is that I am fast descending to the level | lite 1 | Miss Hall's voice bristled with Miss Hall's volce was dull would of his opinion.” The uuhappiness in her voice had lke & stream, restrained at first, but gain- Ing much force from the tributarfes of thought that the weak barriers of caution were swept away Her next words revealed its true depth. and current appallingly to the mun who had taken her young life into his keeping.

There are plac:s I cannot bear to look at, for every thread was a protest against God."" “What was that?’ Miss Hall looked up at a sound on the piazza Natalie Dexter went to the window and drew aside the curtain. Someone was dis- appearing around the corner of the house, but her vision was too blurred to distin- guish who it was. alcH It was almost a year later. Winter seemed to have stepped back and taken a reluctant earth in a last embrace.

Let's go and see if we can't find something cold in the larder.” Natalle Dexter arose and laid her hands on her husband's shoulders.

Those that were on sale were i tended for yesterday's market, but were de- layed by the washouts on the rallroads, For the week receipts show a decrease of over 5,000 head, as compared with last week, and as compared with the corresponding week of last year there Is a loss of nearly 15,000 head. ‘The increase in receipts for the year to date now amounts to about 117,- w0 head. Most of the cattle that arrived today were cornfed steers and the big bulk of them was k00d - enough to bring $.2. Most of the calesmen thought the cattle did not sell to uite as good advantage as they would had they arrived vesterday, owing to the fact that packers are mever very anxious for cattle on a Saturday. The commoner cattle in particular were hard to sell at ratisfac- tory prices. As compared with a weck ago the market may safely be quoted 15@2 higher. on_everything except warmed-u which come in ‘competition with the w erns. They have shown very little improve- ment. Good to cholce cattle sell from $5.00 to $5.65, the latter price being paid yester- day, which fs- the highest price of the to date. Fair to good steers sell from $4. to $5.00 and the commoner kinds from $4 down. Cows are selling in practically the same notches they were a_week ago. The quality of the bulk of the offerings has been rather inferior. and for that reason the common Good cows, however, have been very scarce and are fully steady for the week. Good to y be quoted from $3.76 to $4.40, and some heifers that were fed with steers sold this week at $5.25. The bulk -of -the fair to good grass cows sell from 3275 to $3.25. with the medium kinds oing from $2.40 to $260 and canners from 1.50 to $2.55. Bulls, veal calves and stags have not shown enough change all the week to be worthy of mention. a There has been a good, brisk demand for | feeders all the week in spite of the heavy raing which ‘made it Impossible to ship stock for & couple of days. As compared with the close of Iast week prices on good stuft are, If anything, a little higher, some | sales showing an advance of 10@15c. Com- mon kinds, though, are not quotably higher. The good to cholce grades have been selling from $3.75 to $4.10, fair to good from $3.40 $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 range cattle here this week. considering the time of year. and the quality has been very common. There have in fact been no good to choice western beef steers offered to. make a test of values, but it s safe to say that anything desirable would have £0ld higher. The better grades of range cows are about steady for the week and sell largely from $2.75 to $3.25 common kinds sell from $2.25 down Western stockers and feeders are steady to strong for the week and are selling at the prices quoted above.

Trading though was not very active, partly because pack- ers did not llke to pay the prices, but principally bécause the trains were late in arriving, which always has a effect upon the market.
