Jail Men for Shipment of Rotten Eggs in New Jersey SEVEN of the men connected with the Western Egg Yolk Company and tho Excelsior Baking Company, no-called, of New Jersev, who were convicted ot con spiracy to violate the food and drugs act in the interstate shipment ot rotten eggs, have been sentenced In tho Federal Court at Trentou, N. J., to terms in prison rang, lnr from three months- to a vear and a dav. Hvman Lewis, Bernard Edelberg, Samuel Edelberg, and Morris Slndluts ro celved the latter sentence, Hermuu wick er and Harry Lewltes, bIx months each, nml Schclr Wclssmnn, who was recom mended for mercy, three months. Some of the defendants, It was proved, were doing business tinder the name Western Egg Yolk Company, and others under the name- ot the Excelsior Baking Company for the purpose ot purchasing eggs which had been condemned and I de natured In New York City nnd selling them to bakers In Jersey City, JS. J., In violation of the Federal food nnd drugs In practically every shipment of eggs there are certain to be at least a few that cannot pass the candling test and me, therefore, discarded by dealers. In a large city llko New York the- eggs rejected in this way will amount In tho course ot a tiny to a considerable number. The law forbids their use for hilmun food, but permits them to be denntured nnd sold for technical purposes, tho chief outlet being tanneries. Tho Western Egg Yolk Company, It was proved, purchased these denatured eggs, but Instead of selling them to tan neries, or finding other legitimate mar kets for them, removed tho denaturing substance and sold them to certain New Jersey bakers for use In cheap cake anil other slmtlnr articles. In JtUv, 1913, n lot of eggs trans ported from Now York In a wagon be longing to the compnny was seized In Jersey City. Tho containers In which these eggs were shipped were branded "spots," "rots," and "not Intended for food purposes." Investigation showed, however, tn.it this Inbellug was merely a subterfuge to avoid Interference by the Federal authori ties, and Uiat there was a def ulto plan to sell the eggs to bakeries and that the Western Egg Yolk Company had been or ganized for this purpose by a number of men who had been prominently Idont fled with tho egg business In New ork City for some time. Tho Department of Agriculture, there fore, did not content Itself with the seiz ure of tlieso eggs, but continued Its In vestlgntlons until sufficient evidence was collected to warrant tho Federnl District Attorney of New Jersey in securing In dictments for conspiracy. Law for the Protection of Birds Is Stili Effective MANY ot the press comments on the de cision of the United States District Court, rendered March 20, nt Topcka, Kan., holding that tho Federal migratory bird law Is unconstitutional, according to tho United States Department ot Agricul ture, are erroneous nnd are apt to mislead the public concerning tho renl situation lu this matter. The Kansas decision, like a former de cision to the same effect in the Eastern District of Arkansas, Is limited In Us ti crntlon solely to tho district in which It wns rendered. Neither decision settles or nullifies tho law, and the exact contrary has been held by the United States Dis trict Court for South Dakota. The Ar kansas case has been appealed to, nnd Is now pendtug lu the United States Supremo Court. v Tho act of Congress protecting migra tory birds Htnndb effective until the Su preme Court finally decide the question ot its constitutionality. In the meantime, It Is Incumbent on every law-abiding citi zen to observe its provisions and the regu lations. It Is the duty of the Department of Agriculture to enforce this law and the officials In chnrgo will endeavor to tlo so as long us It is In force. Iloports of violations will bo carefully Investigated nnd when sufficient evidence Is secured they w III bo reported for prose cution. In this connection It should not bo forgotten that an offender against thW, as in the caso of other United States laws. Is subject to prosecution any time with hi threo years from tho dato the offenso la committed. Mud Mule llltc-i. Tho Oregon Stnto Board of Health has treated many persons for bites by mad dogs. Recently they received tho first patient that had been bitten by a mad mule. C. E. Brown, a young farmer ot Ford Rock. Lake County, applied to Dr. Calvin S. Whlto for the Pasteur treat ment. Brown said that his mulo had beou bitten by a mad coyoto 10 davs be fore. The animal had been sick and ho was trying to doctor It. While attempting to give the mule medicine, It turned and bit Brown on tho arm. Tho mule died of rubles and Brown left at once for Port-land. Nov Standard for Condensed Milk Is Made by Government CONDENSED or evaporated milk should be made from the whole, fresh, clean milk produced by the complete milking of healthy cows, and contain u definite amount or nutritive mnterlnls ns Indi cated by milk fat nnd total solids, uccord lug to a food Inspection decision issued by the United States Department or Agrl culture. Tho definition embodied In the decision will guide the officials of the Department In' the enforcement of tho food and drugs act. The product, to bo In accordance with tho definition, must contain not less, thun 2fi.& per cent or total solids nnd not less than 7.9 per cent of milk fnt. The total solids Include all the sub stances In tho condensed or evaporated milk except moisture, and are, thorefore, tin Index or the actual food value of tho product. The Department officials are ot the opinion that by fixing u minimum below which neither the total solids nor milk fnt may fall, a condensed milk ot high nutritive value Is Insured. It Is stated that no tolerance whatsoever below the quantities fixed lu tho decision will bo poimlttrd. The deflultlon nlso requires that the milk must bo frofn cows properly fed and kept, nnd Is Intended to prevent the sale of condensed milk made from milk from cows fed upon unwholesomo feeding stuffs, such ns swill nnd brewery slop, or which have been kept under such Insani tary or otherwise unfavorable conditions as might Impair the quality of, the milk. The definition for condensed milk as embodied In the food inspection decision Is the sameas the definition and standard recommended by a Joint committee from certain state and National organizations having to do with tho enforcement of laws relating to foods. The organizations rep resented on the Joint committee on detlnl- thins and standards are: Tho American Association of Dairy, Food and Drug Of ficials, the Association or Official Agri cultural Chonilsts, and the United States Department of Agriculture. The joint committee on definition and standards Is the outgrowth of ti move ment to Increase the efficiency of the en forcement or state and Federal food laws bv the adoption ot uniform s nndards. The standard for condensed ui has al ready Tieen adopted by a number ot Mates. Addltlonul legislation w 11 be re uulied lu some states before It can bo made a legal standard in thoso stutcs. "Death Camas" Proves Very Deadly to Sheep EEP your sheep from tho death camas 1 (Zygadenus), says tho United States Department ot Agriculture to ranchmen. Cattle nnd horses should also bo kopt from this herb, although uctual futalltles from tho poisoning tiro almost entirely confined to sheep. Nausea, muscular weakness and coma are some ot tho prin cipal symptoms of the poisoning. There Is no satisfactory medical remedy, but affected livestock. If kopt quiet for some time, will otton recover. Tho death camns (Zygndenus) Is most dangerous early In tho season, not be cause the plant is moro poisonous nt that time, but because it Is more likely to bo eaten nt that tlmoiwhcn other forngo Is dry. Later, sheep nro less likely to eat a largo quantity, because of the greater abundance of other food. Ah a matter of Tact, most ot the cases of extensive poisoning have occurred before tho flow ering of the plant, which occurs in tho Into Spring. It Is Impossible lo make even nn ap proximate estlmato of the losses or sheep because or tho 'ygadenus, but It Is cer tain thnt they nro very heavy. Investigations hnvu led specialists to believe that many ot tho lasses in Ore gon. Utah and Cnlltornln, which were as cribed to other poisonous plants were realty caused by the death camas, nud without doubt this plant Is one ot the sources of the greatest loss to sheep own ers in Wyoming ami Montana. It Is said that In 100U In ono county In Wyoming 20,000 sheep died because of tho Zyga deuus, Tho death camns may bo recognized by noticing Its leaves, which aro gnissllke, long, narrow and shaped as though they had a keel. They grow from n bulb. Tho flowers uro greenish-yellow or whlto. Tho plants uro perennial, blossoming In the Into Spring or early Summer nnd then disappearing. This poisonous herb occurs abundantly In the mountain regions ot the North, and' although found very widely throughout tho United States, It Is only In tho West ern -region that It hns become ot sufficient importance to bo noticed. Tho plant is sometimes called wild onion; other unmes applied to It are the soap plant, alkali grass, squirrel food, mystery grass, and poison seo. t There have been cases of human poi soning as well ns stock poisoning as tho result ot eating tho deadly herb. Most of the cases havo been children who found tho bulbs attractive and have collected them instead of tho edlblo camas. Thero havo beou a numbor ot fatalities, although most cases recover.
