Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS ,
HOW long atneo you have, visited
a dairy, operated under the pro
visions of a modern milk ordinance,
such as we have here in Medford?
If it has been a long time, or If
you NEVER did, you should have
been along yesterday on the dairy
tour arranged by Mrs. Fabrics:, of the
Women's Greater Oregon association.
. It was a revelation.
PRODUCING milk, as this writer
recalls it, used to be a casual sort
of occupation:
One worked bard in the field all
day, and as a fitting finale to the
i day's labor one '"palled" the cows.
These same cows, invariably, were In
the far comer of the pasture, usually
lying down with their tails under
the fence, in order to get as far away
as possible, and one hazed them In
to the milking lot, usually getting a
lot of bad language out of his system
in the process.
Arriving at the lot, one sat down
to milk.
THE milk bucket, an open-faced
affair, was either set on the
ground or held between the knees,
and one then proceeded to milk at
It, hitting It a part of tfie time and
one's pants and shoes the remainder.
The cat, meanwhile, and possibly
a pig or two, had eome up with
famished and eager expressions on
their faces, and so one proceeded from
time to time, to aim a stream of
milk at the mouths of these faithful
friends.
And so it went, until the Job was
j finished.
TO, we have overlooked something.
The cow, as this writer recalls
it, swlBhing her tall around and
reaching for bothersome flies, would
drop the tuft of hairs on the end of
the tall Into the bucket, wet it thor
oughly in the milk and then proceed
to slap the milker deftly behind the
ear with the wet tall.
More profanity, and occasionally a
little belaboring of the cow with the
milk stool. ,
AFTER the milk had been extract
ed Into the open-faced bucket,
It was strained through a screen Into
a can, and was then ready for human
consumption.
All this, of course, In the summer.
In the winter, one milked in a abed,
the floor of which wae covered with
mud and manure in which the cows
slept at night, smearing their udders
copiously.
These amearings, It will be readily
understood, dropped off Into the
open-faced bucket as one milked, and
a PART of them was strained out.
The remainder settled as a sediment
to the bottom of the can and was
poured off with that part of the milk
fed to the pigs.
QO MUCH for the old days. In these
modern dsys, we are more par-
tlculsr and up-to-date cities such as
this have adopted milk ordinances,
backed by adequate Inspection.
It was to give some Idea of the
meaning of this ordinance and of the
Inspection back of it that yesterday's
tour was held.
MEDFORD'S milk ordinance Is the
standard ordinance sponsored by
tne U. 8. nubile health service. It
defines four grades of milk A, B. O,
and D.
Grade A milk must contain less
than 30,000 bacteria per cubic centi
meter, a centimeter of milk being
about 10 drops. It must be kept at
temperature below 80 degrees, so
aa to halt the growth of bacteria.
It must be produced on premises
thst are scrupulously clean, from
cowa regularly Inspected for tubercu
losis and other diseases and LanJled
by persons who are certified by a
competent phjslclan to be free from
disease.
Covered buckets must be used, the
udders of the cows must be cleaned,
the milk must be strained through
a special filter and all utensils must
be sterilized.
RADE A tr.llk' may be sold rsw.
under the ordinance. Grade B.
whlc,i must contsln less than 200.000
bscterla per cubic centimeter and
must be kept at a temperature below
60 degrees, may be raised to Grade A
by pasteurizing.
Grades C ar.d D are commercial

Malice Charged
The complaint recites that the
article was written and published
wlt,h. "express malice," and further
alleges that It "Is 'false, defamatory,
degrading, and Inflamed and Incited
the lawless element of the vicinity
against the defendant, hindering him
In the peaceful spursuit of his work."
The complaint further alleges that
the article charges the plaintiff with
"robbing sluice boxes, thretenlng to
blow up mine dams and threatening
the lire or F. A. Bates."
The suit la the outgrowth of the
primary campaign charges of "break
down of law and order" and "miscar

The Jackson County Democratic

the ability and Integrity of Circuit

an abortive recall attempt was

Committee.
In Josephine county, where Judge
Norton spent most of his life, the
recall scheme met with strong re
sentment, from all portions of
civic life, and was protested by
the Josephine County Granges.
The fatherhood of the recall has
not been definitely established, as
the sponsors "work In the dark."
It has caused much unfavorable
editorial comment from the upstate
press.

of Oregon's system of higher edu

posing the measure "and the ex

whole."
Hopes to Halt Claims.
The Corvallls letter, signed by O.

great deal of pleasure In answering
your letter because I hope thereby
to offset some of the grossly mis
leading propaganda which has been
put out by your organization In
reference to the Zorn-Macpherson
bill."
The Portland group is opposing
the consolidation measure.
Whiteside wrote that "my under

"If the measure were 'vicious,' I
