Herman  Braunschweig,  one  of  eleven 
butchers  recently  indicted .  for  bribing 
veterinarians  attached  to  the  Department 
of  Health  to  pass  diseased  meat,  pleaded 
guilty  before  Supreme  Court  Justice 
Cropsey  in  Brooklyn,  Sept,  15,  as  a  jury 
was  being  selected  to  try  Arthur  I'laut 
of  the  firm  of  Robert  Plant  &  Son,  an¬ 
other  of  the  Indicted  butchers.  Braunsch¬ 
weig  was  charged  with  paying  $30  to 
Dr.  Frederick  W.  Sehoneweg  on  March 
17  last  to  O.  K.  tubercular  beef.  The 
maximum  penalty  is  10  years’  imprison¬ 
ment.  and  a.  line  of  ,$5,000.  Plant  is 
charged  with  the  payment  of  $75  as  a 
bribe. 
Bounties  aggregating  $15,000  on  1000 
wolves  were  earned  by  hunters  in  St. 
Louis  County,  Minn.,  during  the  last  15 
months.  Last  Winter  the  deep  snow 
made  it  comparatively  easy  to  kill  them. 
Many  were  destroyed  with  dubs  and 
others  were  run  down  by  dogs. 
WASHINGTON.  -For  the  first  time 
in  many  years  the  Pacific  Coast  soon  will 
be  without  a  single  torpedo  boat  destroy¬ 
er  in  active  service  ns  a  result  of  orders 
from  the  Navy  Department  at  Washing¬ 
ton  to  place  in  reserve  all  destroyers  of 
the  first,  division  of  the  Pacific  fleet.  It 
was  reported  that  the  Navy  Department 
contemplated  sending  a  flotilla  of  oil 
burning  destroyers  to  the  Pacific  Coast 
for  active  service. 
The  two  day  hearing  to  determine  a 
suitable  site  for  the  Government’s  $11,- 
000.000  armor  plant  was  concluded  by 
the  Navy  Special  Board.  Sept.  14.  At 
least  a  dozen  more  towns  were  heard 
from,  bringing  the  total  near  the  hundred 
mark.  The  board  announced  it  had 
reached  no  decision  and  the  matter  prob¬ 
ably  would  go  over  several  weeks.  Sev¬ 
eral  of  the  proposed  sites,  it  was  ex¬ 
plained,  will  have  to  he  abandoned  with 
little  consideration,  owing  to  the  law  au¬ 
thorizing  construction,  which  states  the 
plant  must  be  located  with  “special  refer¬ 
ence  to  safety  in  time  of  war.”  Other 
points  to  be  taken  into  consideration  are 
the  availability  of  raw  material  and  lo¬ 
cation  to  the  labor  market.

must  keep  their  eyes  open  and  hold  the 
new  purchasers  up  to  a  new  standard. 
Getting  Together. — The  farm  bu¬ 
reaus  seem  to  be  a  fine  medium  for  or¬ 
ganization  of  the  producers  and  the 
agents  are  interesting  themselves  very 
actively.  Again  there  is  the  old  difficulty 
of  getting  the  farmers  to  work  together, 
their  lack  of  initiative  and  their  almost 
pathetic  dependence  on  the  other  fellows 
doing  the  right  thing  by  them.  One  re¬ 
sult  of  Mr.  Forristall’s  conference  with 
Mr.  Dillon  was  the  offer  of  one  of  the 
smaller  dealers  to  pay  a  certain  Grade 
A  Station  iu  Cortland  County  an  in¬ 
crease  of  IS  cents  a  can  over  Borden’s 
quotations  for  their  Fall  and  Winter 
milk.  After  several  days’  consideration 
the  patrons  decided  to  turn  down  the  of¬ 
fer,  giving  as  their  reason  the  fact  that 
thev  felt  it  their  duty  to  let  the  dealer 
have  their  Winter  milk  as  he  had  had 
their  Summer  milk,  trusting  he  would 
do  better  by  them  than  he  had  in  the 
past.  Equal  to  saying:  “This  man, 
though  far  richer  than  I.  has  robbed  me 
all  Summer,  and  now  I  believe  I  ought  to 
let  him  rob  iuc  all  Winter  if  he  so  de¬ 
sires.”  Again  it  is  well  to  reflect,  on  The 
is  money  this  year.  It 
looks  like  $1  a  bushel  by  Jan.  L 
4  You  can’t  afford  to  put  this  years’  crop  in  | 
cribs  where  rats  and  mice,  and  weather  and  * 
y  1  mould  will  destroy  it.  It  will  pay  you  big  to  put 
ff  it  in  a  Marshall  Iron  Crib.  C.  M.  Grove,  Hagers- 
town,  Md.,  (a  Marshall  owner)  writing  to  his  farm  >§§ 
I,  caper,  said:  “  *  »  *  In  my  five  years  use  of  metal  cribs  I  'v 
wJ  if  have  not  seen  a  rat  or  mouse  in  my  com.  These  cribs  are  fire-proof  1 
WIN  and  storinR  your  com  in  them  is  insuring  it.  After  using  one  a  year  I 
b  '  bought  another  of  double  capacity.  When  is  comes  to  storing  com. 
1  metal  cribs  have  no  superior.  By  means  of  perforated  sides  and  ventilated 
shaft  in  center  from  floor  to  roof,  com  is  well  exposed  to  air."
