In describing a milk can cover in- vented by R. O. Thompson of Camp- bell Hall, N. Y., the Scientific Amer ican says: “The object here is to provide a cover which will form a perfectly tight closure for a vessel and be cap- able of being securely locked in clos- ing position, so as to prevent access to the can by unauthorized persons. For this purpose the inventor con- Pn Cr cording to Robert B. Ward, millionaire | president of the Brooklyn Tip Tops, as the team will be called, there will | be a new baseball club in Brooklyn | of which that berough may be proud.

McCormick. [Editorial by Harry M. Chalfant in ‘‘American Issue,’’ official organ of Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League.| It is a settled fact that our Demo- cratic brethren are getting in shape for a battle royal between this and May 18th, to determine who shall be their candidate for governor. Several montt 0 announcements were made toa. VM hael J. Ryan, of Phila- | delphia, would be a candidate, and a vigorous campaign has been launched on his behalf. Numerous other Dem- ocrats had been suggested to compete with Mr. Ryan for the honor, when very suddenly and unexpectedly the announcement came that his oppo- nent would be Vance C. McCormick, of Harrisburg. Now, within a few days after that announcement, there is a great flurry among that portion of the Democrats who advocate booze. The cause of the turmoil seems to be the advent of this man McCormick into the race. The brewers and their allies make seven allegations against the afore- said McCormick, and in addition to that, they utter a few other words that Uncle Sam does not permit us to publish in a paper which goes through the mails The seven indictments | against McCormick may be stated | briefly as follows: ' 1. As executor of an estate, he con- | trols the ‘‘Commonwealth,” a dry hotel at Harrisburg, and that city’s most popular hostelry. The charge against McCormick is that he refuses to lease the hotel without a clause in the article of agreement preventing the lessor from applying for license or dispensing booze in any way on the hotel property. 2. McCormick served one term as Mayor of Iiirrisburg. He promised the people, ii elected, that he would put the lid «:. and hold it tight. He kept his yromise. The liquor and gambling d. . ctees were dead sore on him, but Le 1. as relentless, and sat on able a locking device to secure athe lid to tlic closing hour of his ad- closure in position on the can until ministration th L RE e samels Tomoved 3.

The problem of milking by means of machines “is still a long way from be- ing solved, but we are much nearer the goal than five years ago, or even a year ago, says the Farm and Fire- side, The New York experiment station has announced the result of a milking machine experiment which covered a period of four years. The experiments show that, including the time required to get the machines ready and to wash them after milking, cows can be milk- ed by machine in 3.86 minutes to the Low, as compared: with seven minutes for hand milking. A higher class of help is, however, necessary to milk by machinery. For dairies of less than fifteen cows the use of machines was considered unprofitable and not to be recommend- ‘‘Patriot,”” the most widely read Dem- ocratic daily in the state outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh For many years the ‘‘Patriot’’ has through ite editorial columns persistently ad- vocated local option and other laws by which tie people would be given greater pow ei in the control and over- throw of the liquor business. 4. The ‘'Patriot’’ refuses to accept or publish liquor advertisements. 5. In the campaign of 1910, Mc- Cormick refused to support the Dem- ocratic nominee, Webster Grimm, be- cause he had been nominated at the behest of Penrose, Mulvihill, Guffey, Hall, McNichol, notorious bi-partisan liquor gangsters. Brennan and other McCormiek threw his personal influ- ence and that of his paper to Berry, the local option candidate. 6. McCormick then led off in a fight to reorganize the Democratic party and eliminate the old bi-partisan liquor bunch. This fight was success- ed. ful, and left Guffey, Brennan, Hall. ‘The hundreds of applications filed in | Mulvihill and all their ilk out in the the United States patent office show | old. the interest in machine milking. Pres- ent day developments indicate that best results are obtained by the inter- mittent suction principle, but we look for the time when milking machines will be cheaper and simpler. The cream separator of today is about one- fourth as large as one of equal capaci- ty twenty years ago. A similar sim- plification may be true with milking machines. SELECTING BREED FOR DAIRY One Best Adapted for Prevailing Con- ditions Should be Preferred— : Things to Consider, In selecting a dairy breed it is not a matter of which is the best breed, but the one best suited for prevailing conditions. Select with a view to adaptability and for the purpose for which the animal is kept. Some breeds are noted for the quantity of milk they produce; others for the richness of their milk; others for the color of cream or butter. All these things must be taken into consideration be- fore selecting a breed. Of the dairy breeds the Holstein has a number of high producing animals. They point with pride to such animals as Colan- tha IV Johanna with a record of over 1,100 pounds of butter in the vear, and the alte queen of the dairy world, Banastii®= Belle De Kol, with a record of over 1,300 pounds of butter in 365 days. The Jersey has Jacoba Irene, the Guern- sey, Dolly Dimple, and the Ayrshire, Netherhall Brownie, all of which were a credit to théir respective breeds. High Grade Losers.

Pretty collars, ‘to be worn on blouses as well as outside the coats, are geen now in the shops and few are so intricate that they cannot be fashioned by the girl with a taste for needlework who wants to look well but can’t afford high prices.

The frillings are quite cheap now, and you can buy them aswide or as narrow as you wish.
