DANGER IN MEAT PACKERS POWER SAYSJpOCK Claims Even Government May Not be Strong Enuogh to Combat "Big Five." (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. Victor Murdock, member of the Federal Trade Commission, told the House interstate commerce committee that he feared, the five big packers had acquired 'so much power that even the United States government might not be strong enough to combat.lt. "Even Food Administrator Hoover," Mr. Murdock said, " could not reach into Chicago and take the license of a great malefactor, although he could rescind the license of one of the little fellows." This testimony of the trade commissioner followed his statement that facts gathered during the commission's investigation of the meat packing industry had been turned over to th Department of Justice and that he had no doubt that proceedings under the anti-trust law would result , r Mr. Murdock expressed fear that the legislative branch of the government would deal weakly Instead of vigorously with the packers. His statement that the packers were well aware where there would be vacancies on Senate and House committees which would consider their case, and that they would try to see to it that "their friends" got on these committees as vacancies occurred, brought sharp questioning from members of the committee.

HOW TO CARE FOR A HOME MILK-PRODUCER
Don't Let Grass Go to Waste This Spring; Get a Cow and Turn This Feed Into Milk and Butter Cow's Home Should be Dry, Well Lighted and Furnish Protection From Bad Weather.

By J. C. KLINE, County Agent. Much interest is developing in the sweet clover plant Many farmers have made Inquiries In regard to this plant within the last month. Since there are so many failures in growing sweet clover the writer will give below some of the requirements necessary In obtaining a stand. The requirements for obtaining a stand of sweet clover are somewhat exacting. For the reason that sweet ' clover Is found growing luxuriantly in waste places and on uncultivated land many men think that it can be sown any time, any place, and in any manor with good success. Many failures have resulted on this account. It is therefore necessary to properly prepare the seed bed, use good seed and sow at the proper time. The seed bed can be plowed and harrowed well until the soil is in a compact condition. Plowing Is 'not necessary in all cases but the best results are secured by this practice. Many men sow the sweet j clover 4ln the winter wheat during the month of March after all danger of frost is over. The seed is sown "at the rate of 15 pounds per acre and is harrowed in with a spike tooth harrow. In case the seed is sown in this manner, it will be necessary to enoculate the reed by the pude culture method before sowing. Most of ; the main seed houses handle this culture or It can be secured from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Full directions are given with the culture and these should be carefully follwed. Inoculation is absolutely necessary in most cases. Failures usually result when the seed or soil are not inoculated. The soil transfer method is one of the best methods of inoculating where alfalfa or sweet clover are growing near by. This may be done by obtaining soil from an alfalfa Meld or ground on which sweet clover is grawing and spreading it over the flejd which is to be seeded at the rate of 300 pounds of soil per acre. This can be sown broadcast by hand or with a fertilizer drill where it sown alone. This inoculated soil should be harrowed in immediately, as exposure to the sun and the drying out of the soil will kill the bacteria. Best results may be obtained by supplying the soil on a cloudy day. In cutting for hay it is necessary to cut the sweet clover before the stalks become too woody. About the time the first blossoms appear is the proper time to cut the first year. Unless sown very early it is not advisable to
cut it for hay the first year. In alu
cases the stubble should be left high enough to leave a few branches and leaves on each plant. If cut too close many of the plants will be killed. Sweet clover makes excellent pasture for all classes of livestock. It is preferable to alfalfa since it very rarely causes bloat If the crop is pastured sufficient live stoc should be placed on the field to keep the plant from becoming tall and woody. It produces a very early pasture and survives the mid summer droughts and srows on soil3 where other crops fail. It also prevents washing of soil In the rougher sections.
family, say dairy specialists of the
united States Department of Agriculture. When pasturing or tethering ground is available to furnish feed for a cow from 4 to 6 months during the year, a family cow can be kept at small cost During the winter it .will be necessary to buy feed, but even with the present cost of commercial feeds, milk can be produced economically. Spring is a good time to begin with the family cow, for there is an abundance of nourishing and - succulent grass the natural cow feed at this time.

bacteria, or be otherwise abnormal, and such milk is not clean or safe as food, even though there is no vlsable
dirt in it To aid in the . production of clean milk and to help keep cows healthy, the stables should be cleaned at least twice a day and fresh bedding supplied. All dairy utensils should be kept thoroughly clean. This is essential to prevent the rapid growth of harmful bacteria which hasten the souring of milk. All utensils should be washed clean, then rinsed and sterilized. A simple, home-made sterilizer, described

where they live. They do not Insist
on an elaborate or expensive home. Usually- there is a building on the place which can be converted into a stable for the cow at small cost Even If it is necessary to build a stable, it need not cost a great deal. But in
order to remain healthful and be able to produce the maximum amount of milk,' the cow insists on a few essentials about her home: It must be dry, well lighted, and furnish protection from cold and disagreeable weather. There should be four square feet of window space for each cow, say department specialists. Windows should be on the south side if possible, and so placed as to admit abundant sunlight in all parts of the stable, particularly the floor. Sunlight is a germ killer. j The cow should have a good-sized feed manger. The wise cow owner keeps the manger well filled with good feed, for if he has the right kind of a cow the more feed she eats the more milk she will produce. The manger should be provided with a halter or simple, home-made stanchion. The cow's stall should be from 34 to 4 feet wide. To keep the animal dry and clean, build a raised platform, preferably of concrete, or if this is not practicable, tightly fitted boards may be used. For cows of the smaller breeds, such as Jerseys and Guernseys the platform should be 4 feet 8 inches long, and for larger animals, such as Holsteins, 5 feet long. The stalls should be kept clean and well bedded, rjealth a Consideration In selecting the family cow, health should be the first consideration. A diseased cow does not produce milk economically, and frequently it is unfit for human food. The family cow should be tuberculin tested. Her ability to produce large quantities of milk economically is the next qualification. If rich milk is desired that is, milk containing a high percentage of butter fat, an animal of the Jersey or Guernsey breed should be selected. Holsteins and Ayrshlres produce a larger quantity of milk than the animals of the tw breeds mentioned, but their milk . not so rich in butter fat. During the spring, summer and fall the cow should get most of her feed from pasture. If a lot properly fenced
is not available, it is easy to stake or tether the cow. This is the practice
in the Isle of Jersey and in other high
ly developed dairy sections of Euro-
Dean countries, where some or me
best cows in the world are raised. If
the cow is to be tethered, she should
have a halter, a 15-foot to 20-foot Iron chain with a swivel in it, and a stake.
The cow should have plenty of fresh,
clean water at least twice a day. All eoorf 'milk producers need lots of
water, and cow owners should remem
ber that milk itself is 87 per cent water. Cows which' produce 25 pounds
of milk a day require 75 pounds or
more of water daily, and instances
are on record of heavy milkers con
suming more than 300 pounds of water
in a day. Producing Clean Milk The cow should be groomed, bedded,
and fed after milKlng rather than be
fore, as these operations fill the stable
air with dust and bacteria wmcn are
used by all dairymen, and even own
ers of one cow.
