He advocated that es tablishment of a demonstration farm in each county under com petent supervision, the superin tendent to act as advisor to the farmers of his district, and to as sist in the formation of rural or ganization for the improvement of educational, social and finan- j cial conditions. In many foreign countries the value of demonstration farms and RnAfinl jnrrinlf-iiral cHura. . . r. uonai worK is strongly in evi dence, "said Dr. Withycombe. "The little country of Denmark j has made phenomenal agricul tural progress under the system of demonstration. With an area equal to but one-sixth of Oregon Denmark supports 2,690,500 peo ple and exports annually over $100,000,000 worth of butter, eggs and bacon. Thi3 is accom plished under adverse agricul tural conditions, much of the country being so bleak that it is necessary to blanket the cows in pasture to keep them comfort able in summer. "If such results can be secured under such unfavorable condi tions, what results might we not justly expect from a similar sys tem here in Oregon where condi tions for dairying and general farming are so favorable? "Teach your pupils at school to try to inculcate the doctrine at home that dirt means filth, and filth means abnormal kinds of germs," said Prof. T. D. Beck with, head of the bacteriology department at the Oregon Agri cultural College, in an address cause the souring of milk were shown, 15,000 of which placed in a line make just an inch. "Germs are alive. It is safe to say the ordinary human being voids thirty-three-million-million germs a day, most of them by way of the faces," said Prof, ueckwith. fcince a cow is so much larger, how much greater a number of germs it throws off each day. "What do you think of the farmer who keeps his cow in a dark, muddy, wet stable drip ping with manure, or in summer in the dry season allows her to accumulate an armor of manure? Every bit of that filth is full of germs which, if they get into the milk, produce abnormal changes, some of them breeding disease. "The farmer sits down under such a cow, without cleaning it, and milks into a wide-mouthed pail into which at every motion and every breath of air, there drop particles containing germs. Each germ makes two every twenty minutes, that is, they multiply to eight times their number every hour at ordinary temperature. You can see what it means to allow the milk to cool slowly instead of cooling it artificially at once. "If children drink milk from untested cows which have bo vine tuberculosis, the germs do not pass out, but remain in the Doay, ana Dy slow change in twenty or twenty-five years be come human tuberculosis. All dairy animals should be tested so that we may know that there is no tuberculosis. Your teachers can do a great deal by teaching your pupils the importance of these thing." was well attended by younjr and old. Mrs. N. F.
