Ts anyone too poor to same is an

not by any means a new one ; it is
one which has troubled past genera -

w 11 at;ect the generations yet to
come. We cannot say that this lat-
est diseLssion 'of the subject is
throwing much, if any, fresh light
upon it. In the first place, there in
a diversity of opinloa regarding the
term "1001'." Cne man, who derives
an income of $1.350 a year from pri-
vate preMerty, Mucks he e001e.9 en-
der the category, while another does
not consider anyone poor who has
an inceme cif $500 a yoar. It is
mattifestly impossible to ilx any
limit in a matter like this. Very
much depends upon the locality and
the conditions and surroundings of
the ledividual. An income that
would be eanply sofficient to insure a
family a comfortable home, excellent
social advantages and a good living
in a country village would mean

that they had been among the first

apparently escaped tho volcano. They
stopped at the bridge to get some

eacteria which develop bad flavors
or which cause souring must be
eeet out of the milk from the start.
Milk when freshly drawn from the
udder, under Die most thorough
sanitary conditiors, contains very
few germs which will cause either
souring or bad flavors. There are
two general sourcce, of such germs—
the air, from width the souring
germs cotne, and the dust and filth
of the stable from which the germs
producing the bad flavors are chiefly
developed: If this statemeut be
true, and, bacteriologists are gen-
erally agreed that it is, the natural
conclusion is that any system of
supplying our cities with puro milk
which dOes not control the peoducing
end of the business must fall short
of success.
No farmer can aneed to take the
precautions and supply the, condi-
tiens necessary to the production of
a sanitary milk unless he is paid
more than the ordinary wholesele
price for his product. A plan which
would guarantee the farmer 4, to 5

solicit his attention even if greater
