The importance of putting upon the market milk that is clean and of good quality should call for special effort on the part of the dairymen, for the reason that the consumer is willing to pay more for it if convinced of the fact of the superiority of the products. Loy Pail Cover Aids in Keeping Out Dirt. Milk passes through so many hands from the cow to the consumer as to render the matter of obtaining pure and clean milk a difficult one. Too many console themselves with the fact that they strain the milk before sell ing it, but the strainer does not re move soluble filth. It is gratifying to know that some dairymen wash the udders of the cows at every milking time, wiping them clean with towels, avoiding every chance of filth entering the milk. Such dairymen get good prices, which are secured by their reputation for skill ful management of their cows and their products. The cow is not as clean as the hog so far as selecting a suitable place for resting is concerned, and where the dairyman himself is careless and does not keep the stalls clean, as well as brush the cows and wash the udders it is almost impossible to have clean milk. LITTLE WORK FOR EXPLORER "Dark Places" of the World Have Been Illuminated by the Traveler and Photographer. The trail of the explorer is over every land from Paraguay to Tibet. Forbidden lands are entered, hidden cities exist only in the imagination of the fiction writer. In a period when trains run to Bokhara and the great African lakes ; when the tourist ap pears at Khartum, and Lhassa it self is entered, there is no room for a mysterious white race. Even the dark continent is no longer allowed to have its mysteries. The photog rapher sits on the battered walls of Kano; the Fulani emperors have passed away. One may no longer believe in the existence of a strange white people in the heart of equatorial Africa. Rider Haggard's splendid race is prob ably only the Bahima, originally dis covered by Speke in southwestern Uganda. At least Sir Harry Johnston claims to have discovered in them a clue to many of the mysterious white- race legends found in the dark conti nent. He was engaged in nothing more thrilling than a tour of inspec tion of Ankole when he came across them. They are of a very light com plexion and are the aristocrats of this region. Sir Harry holds that they are obviously descended from a Gala, Somali or other Hamitic stock, and adds that some of them are more like Egyptians than is the case with Galas and Somalis. Romance disappears before the tread of the explorer. The dark continent is dark no more. STANDARD NEVER TOO HIGH Well for a Man to Report to Himself Occasionally, to See If He Is Headed Right. WILL SUE TAR HEElS a The Fellows AVho Were Caught on the Other Side Must Fork Over Last year when the war broke out in Europe it was reported that about ninety-five persons from North Caro lina were detained abroad, and it will be remembered how the United Sta tes hastened to, furnish them money to return home. It now appears that unless some fifty or more of the pride of the old North State who were brought back at the govern ments expense must settle with the government or they will be prosecut ed to the fullest extent of the law, and the Public Ledger would like to see the law f ulfiilled. It is stated that United States Attorneys Ham mer and Winston will be instructed to begin proceedings to compel them to do so. The law appropriating the money for the relief of Americans in Europe provided that the government should be reimbursed by all Americans who were able to do so. According to in formation furnished the department of justice many people with comfort able incomes have either failed or refuse to repay Uncle Sam for his kindness. The government has decided to compel the able ones to "come a cross" and proceedings wTill be be gun in the courts in the near future and the names of the delinquents made public. Thousands of dollars was advanced by the government to Americans in Europe soon after the war started. Aid was extended to people in all sec tions of the country and th'e pro ceedings to be started by the depart ment of justice will affect every State in the Union. SLATTED COLLAR IS USEFUL Device Makes It Quite Impossible for Cow to Turn Her Head Far Enough to Reach Teats. It is difficult of breaking a cow of sucking herself. About the only thing" that can be done is to make some de vice by means of which she will be prevented from doing so. One of the simplest and best of these is a slatted collar. For the ordinary-sized cow take two inch straps, 32 inches long, with buckles in one end and a few holes puncned in the other. Place the straps about nine inches apart and rivet to them ten or eleven slats, leaving a space for one and one half inches between each slat. The slats should be. about one 'ich wide and 11 inches long and sharpened at both ends. When this collar is placed around the cow's neck and buckled it will be impossible for her to swing her head around far enough to reach her teats. PROPER FEEDING OF CALVES Look here, Mr. Man, what is the use in trying to deceive yourself about some of those mean little character istics which cling to you? Why should you try to make your self believe that you're not so bad as you are. "Our family has a pretty good name; I guess if everyone were as good as we are, this world wouldn't be so bad." Yes, you'll hear this re mark; and you'll know that the speak er will never be any better than his ideals. A great chef told his class that if they had ever tasted a dish better than the one they had prepared, theirs was not good. He did not say, "Be content that you don't find many dishes better than yours." A man is no better than his stand ard, and if his standard is the best in all the world, it is none too good. Don't deceive yourself. You have a real job on your hands. If you are not convinced of the fact, try to break yourself of certain mean little traits that crop out occasionally. Once you realize how persistently they return you'll be surprised. Put vourself on probation for a while. Report to yourself at inter vals, and see if you haven't a job as your own probation officer Exchange.

Make Changes in Feeds Gradual Clover and Alfalfa Should Be Kept Before Young Animals. Keep the feeding pails clean. All changes in feeds should be made gradually. Grain should be offered to calves at an early age. Get them to eat it as soon as they will. Feed sweet milk if possible. If you cannot have sweet milk regularly, have sour milk regularly, but avoid chang ing from sweet to sour. Keep clover or atfalfa hay before the calves at all times. They should be encouraged to eat a great deal of these two legumes, as the bulkiness of them tends to enlarge the digestive capacities of the calves and the large amount of protein in such hay pro motes rapid growth. ' In the various addresses at the an nual meeting of Friends at Guilford College last week the sentiment was strong against war, and strong prohibition. for Useful Work Eugenists Can Do. "It is time for the friends of eugenics," writes Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon general United States public health service, in the Journal of Heredity, "to stop promot ing such legislation as that herein out lined (sterilization and restrictions on marriage) and to divert more of their energy to a broad, constructive policy for the furtherance of eugenics. They may, for example, very profitably help to: "Promote research in heredity; "Disseminate a knowledge of the laws of heredity; "Create a 'eugenic conscience' in the public; "Give the young people of their ac quaintance a chance to meet and fall in love with suitable life partners; "Further every means that will re move some of the social and economic bars to marriage and parenthood that now tell so heavily on our eugenically superior classes."

"In the good old days, when I was a boy," states Gaunt N. Grimm, "and children were browbeaten until they were satisfied to , be seen and not heard, it was easy for their elders to run the bluff all over them that be cause they were older they were nec essarily wiser. But today, with the increase of decency in the treatment of children and the many avenues of enlightenment that are open to them that were not provided for me, it has got so the rising generation is posi tively overbearing in Its smartness. The youngsters not only know more than I do, but they prove it on me so conclusively that at times I feel like going to. live in the tree-grown wildwood in order to find company suf ficiently ignorant to be congenial.
