Cooling Milk Pays,
Became of the present high prices
on raw material, labor and• foadeleinO,
every fernier is striving to make the
melt of hfs farm by economical px•o-
d'nction and increased effic'ieney in
ninon management, This is especially
necessary 'because the margin of pro-
fit is an extremely narrow one, We
know of no way whereby the selling
price can be increased more in propor-
tion to the cost than 'by raising the
quality of the product.
The quality of milk depends grevltly
ligan the method of production, or
handling. No matte's: bow carefully
the milk is drawn from the now there
are always some (bacteria in it; and
these at ordinary temperatures do-
velop very rapidly, These minute o4he-
celled forms are so small that a drop
of milk may contain millions. They
grow very rapidly at a temperature
of sixty to ninety degrees Fahrenheit,
apd require food and moisture like
higher forms oil :plant life. Mdllk fur-
nishes an ideal medium for bacterial
growth and unless controlled by some
means they will grow or multiply with
great rapidity.
There are several methods of keep-
ing clown becterda'1 growth in milk.
Cooling is a very economical end' prac-
tical way which all farmers can prac-
tice with successful results, nuking a
more desirable product for the con-
sumer, -as welt' as making one that is
more .profitable far themselves,
Cooling or even freezing the milk
does not kill bacteria, but retards their
growth. If milk that has been ]kept
sweet or at the desired degree of acid-
ity is allowed to become warmed', the
bacteria which have been kept dor-
mant will at once resume tlredr
growth. This explains why milk and
cream should' 'be kept.thorougfily chill-
ed; and 'never allowed to warn up
until used. The process of cooling mil']c
or eream checks the 'bacterial growth,
and but feworganisms thrive ..at a
temperature;. -below - fifty degrees F.
IIowever, it is very•importeet that the
m'iik, immediately after it. hes (been
drawn be cooled to fifty degrees F., or
as much lower as circmnsta.nces per-
mit. The importance of immediate
cooling was shown by Dr. Conn in his
experiments. He demonstrated that
at a temperature of fifty degrees F.
bacteria in milk multiply five tines in
twenty-four hours, while at seventy
degrees they multiply 750 times in
twenty-four hours. Milk may be kept
sweet for quite a while at forty to
forty-five degrees F. because the lac-
tic acid bacteria on the principal 'bac-
teria that cause the souring of milk,
practically !tap growing at these tem-
peratures. But dependence cannot be
placed on these temperatures, as there
are many other classes of bacteria
that can gem at these, temperatures
and produce inelec!:rable effects,
Shortly after the warm milk is
cbawn from the cow bacteria start
their rapid progress of doveiepmen•t,
and many times the mint is allowed' to
remain in the cow barn until milldng
has 'been eomp'leted. This may require
an ]lour or more, depending upon the
number of Cows to be milked Wand the
efficiency of the milking system. A
few hours' delay in cooling reduces
the keeping quality of the mills to a
far greater extent than many people
suppose. IVot only the bacteria are
very' undesirable, but the butter -fat in
the warm mdllc has the power of ab-
sorbing outside odors which impair
the value of the milk to such an ex-
tent that it is not desirable to be put
on the hearken. Many gases and' odors
can be removed by aeration or exwpos-
ing the milk in thin films to the at-
mosphere. Portunattly, the construe:
tion of modern coolers iv elicit as to
make it possible to do the cooling and
aerating in one operation, Dairymen
would do well to consider what they
expect to accomplish by aeration and
cooling. Odors will be removed by
aeration, but' the milk must be aerated
while it is yet warm: The so-called
cow odors are removed' in the 'best
and quickest way by keeping manure
out of mak. Cooling and aerating
should' always be conducted in -a dean
cool room which is free from all dirt
and contesnination.
There are several' types of coolers
on the market but not all of these
could be used economically by the
1Armer; many farmers who retail 'their
milk cosh it with a cone-shaped cooler,
the inner part being filled with ice
water and, the tank or milk receiver
at the top has small openings art the
bottom near the outside through
which the milk discharges in fine
streams directly upon the cone below,
clinch• ds cooled by the ice water. The
milk is then drawn elf at the bottom
of the cone and' stored in a cool place
Until needed.
Another ecogroanicad end ,practical!
way of con4'ing milk and cream is to
place the containers into a tank where
calci water is pumped' into it in such
a way as to enher the bottom, forcing
the warm water out at the top. Water
should be pumped: into the tank at
frequent intervals in order to keep
tho containers of milk and cream at
as low 'a temperature as Ss possible.
Lowering tbe 'temperature of milk
and cream tends to keep down the
bacterial count, keeping the milk
sweet and avoiding the great less by
soaring, as sour milk or milk high in
bacteria will not be as valuable to the
producer or sell on the market for as
high a price as the low -count milk
produced under favorable conditions.
Poultry culling is a summer job.
After the flock starts moulting sus the
proper time for selection of egg pre-
ducers. Under natural conditions the
hens lay best in the spring.
The points to be noted in nulling
are: Absence of color M.: 1, vent;' 2,
eye ring or lid; 3, shill beak; 4, leg
or shank.
If the 'hen ie produedng there will
be an absence of calor. The head of
a laying Shen is large, the comb and
wattles are flushed and the eye is
prominent. On the contrary, the hen
that is not laying has a small shrivel-
ed comb and •a white -scurf on the
comb end wattles.
Tho lay 'bones er pelvic arches,
after the laying season aro farther
apart. After the moulting season
they are nearer together. A one -
finger width indicates a poor layer,
two, three, four -finger widths are the
best layers for all flocks.
The width between the breast bone
and keel 'bones (lay bones) indicates
the 'hen's capaci4.y. The best produc-
ers have a width of four er live ling-
ers, To tell if the hen is moulting,
open the wing and note the ten prim-
ary feathers. If the ken has eight
she has started to moult, Five old
and five new feathers indicate the hen
is hail through the moult, The hen
never lay's when she is in the moult
but will when the feathers are com-
ing back. The small dry vent indi-
cates that the hen is not producing.
If the abdomen is soft the hen is a
better producer. Don't steep a baggy
hen.
We could build a fine poultry house
on every farm in the Country on the
amount of poultry lost last year, More
attention should be given to proper
housing, breeding cf one steam, pro-
per feeding and coiling the flocks.
For the amount of money invested,
poultry can be masse the. best produc-
tion on the farm.

The following grain mixtures aro
recommended for fitting the ram fee
the mating season: equal parts of oats
and wheat bran; two parts alfalfa
meal and one part corn; equal parts
of corn and earnest]; equal parts of
field peas and eats, oz equal parts of
corn, oats, wheat bran, and oilmeal.
Use no .sheep for service until ono
year of age: As a yearling, it ram
may be mated with as many as thirty
ewes without injury. Ae a two -year -
odd a ram is at his best. He can be
used until eight or ten years of age
if properly managed. He should never
be allowed to become too fat or to be
used excessively. A ewe . should' be
at least a yearling before raising her
first Iambs; otherwise, her size and
vigor will be so stunted as to result
in smaller and weaker lambs.
Grass or stomach staggers is corn -
man where lambs and ewes are turned
into rank, wit growth of clover or
other green feed. In some instances
the heads and ears swell enormously
and the lambs die. Last year there
were many losses from that trouble
when lambs were turned- into rich
-meadows and. atubbles after haying
and harvest. One should very g'rad'u-
ally accustom all animals to rib pas-
ture. Physic the lambs with castor-
oil or Epsom salts. The dose ie ene
tablespoonful of oil and up, and one
ounce of Epsom 'salts up to four
ounces for an adult sheep. Keep the
lambs off rich pasture for a time.

Flies prefer to lay eggs in ]gorse
manure, although they will use any
kind' o1 manure er decaying vegetable
matter. They lay from 100 to 150 eggs
in two batches at an interval of a few
days. 11•om these eggs, flies mature
ready to lay eggs in about two weeks.
In controlling the ily nuisance and
clanger, first, the number of flies must
be kept aslow en possible .by treating
or disposing of their :breeding places
and by Wang them, particularly in
the early spring; second, privies must
'bo made flytight and have automatic-
ally dropping seat covers so the pest
can not feast on body waste and. thus
pick up and transfer germs of ty-
phoid., or'dysentery; garbage pails
must 'be kept covered and other filth
disposed of; flier must be kept out on
the houses and food must be carefully
covered. Most housekeepers realize
the importance of having the house
carefully screened, or killing with
poison bait, sticky fly paper or by
swatting all flies in the house, of pro-
tecting food from flies and of covering
the baby with mosquito netting if he
'sleeps on the porch, But there is
much more work to be done on farms
in the matter of making privies fly -
tight and caring for manure. To con-
trol bhe'• breeding of flies, manure can
be scattered thinly on the fields every
day. This, however, is rpraetically im-
possible for busy farmers in the
spring when possible manere should
be •stored in a prepared manure pit ex
tight box, or removed from the
stables, piled and treated with borax.
Eleven pounds of crude oonenerci.al
borax, which may be bought for a
few ,cents a pound, is needed for every
twelve ,or thirteen hueihels or sixteen
cubic feet of lita'ble manure. Sprinkle
this over the manure pile and add a
little water to carry the borax drown
into the manure. This !kills the eggs
and maggots without injuring the
manure as a fertilizer. Not more than
fifteen tons of manure so treated
should be applied to the acre.
FOWLS BRED TO 11
ORDER
1, l
The improvement of poultry by
breeding dates back to prehistoric
tunes, but the notion of producing a
new kind of chicken to meet certain
definite specifications is wholly novel.
This is exactly what has been ac-
complished recently at a poultry farm
which the U. Se Government main-
tains for experimental purposes at
Beltsville, Md. Nine years have been
required to produce the ideal farm
chdeken, which is now declared to be
esta'blis'hed as a distinct breed,
One reason why Leghorns are so
commonly kept by poultrymen and
farmers is that they lay white eggs,
New York and most other markets in
the U. S. demand white eggs and eller
a top price for them. But the Leghorn
chicken is a small 'bre•ed a.nd inferior
for table purposes; it is not e, satis-
factory "meat chicken."
What was wanted was a neat
chicken with . shape, size and market
quality of the Dorking, but with a
yellow skin, white plumage and four
toes, and laying a large white egg.
This was the order which the breed-
ing experts at Beltsville were asked
to fill.
In describing the method adopted,
the Journal of Heredity says that
three breeds were used -the white
Plymouth Rook (American), no,
single -comb white Leghorn (Italian),
and the silver-gray Dorking of British
origin.
The Dorking is en ideal meat typo
of ehicken-long bodied, low set and
of good size, the hen weighing six and
a half pounds and the crock eight
pounds. But it has white legs, which
are e disadvantage for market pur-
poses, inasmuch as popular fancy
favors yellow legs. Also it has a fifth
toe which is almost a deformity,
Tine Plymouth Rock has white plum-
age, with yellow lege and yellow beak.
It is a large fowl and excellent for
table purposes. But it lays n brown
egg, which, though reckoned highly
desirable in Boston, is considered quite
the reverse in New York.
The white Leghorn has white plum -
ago, yellow legs and skin, and the
normal four toes. It lays white eggs,
but it is too small and •too "leggy"
When the three above-mentioned
breeds had been crossed' arid recrossed,
reliance was had upon selootion :for
the final development of the ideal
farm chicken. That is to say, indi-
vidual fowls which showed in eons -
Mention the most desiralblo points
were pielked• out for mating. In this
way, through a series of generations
the new 'breed of 'chicken meeting all
the specifications wee produced.
The new thicken is cal]•ed the Di-
mon. It do white, }ow set, with a long
body, long breast, a shape indicative
of high capacity for egg production,
yellow skin and red earlobes. Tho egg
it lsys is largo 'and whits. In eke
it is about the sense as the Dorking
And on the table it presents it Most
appetizing weaned, affording a
nla,ximum of meat.
Ae it proved, the most ilifseult
thing to achieve wee the whiteness of
the egg. Even a slight discoloration
could not be teletatoct; it !must be par-

earlobe (a eharaotoristic of the
Plymouth Reek) was introduced more-
Iy as a mark to distinguish the breed
from large -type white Leghorns.
Pitting Roots.
In a properly constructed pct, field
roots er potatoes will keep throughout
the winter months as well as in the
best of cellars. The pit needs to be
well drainer] and constructed se as to
maintain a temperature at which the
contents will ,neither sprout nor
freeze. To accomplish this, a system
of ventilation, as well as watchfulness,
is a necessity. The site that best
suits the .requirements is the side of
a hill or the top of a knoll of a sandy
or gravelly nature. Dip out a shal-
low trench 8 indhos deep, 5 feet wide
and of the desired .length with the
earth thus removed thrown back from
the edge. The roots may then be
piled up in the trench to a point about
four feet above the level of the
ground. A pit of this height and
width will bold about a 'ton to each
4% feel; of length. A layer of about
four isnehes of straw will do for the
first cover. This shouid be held in
place by a layer of about 3 inches of
loose earth. In the latter part of
November the covering of earth
should be increased to eight inches
and the ends covered in. Another
layer of straw and of earth is advis-
able when steady cold weather sets
in, and the ventilating holes should
.not be choked -but coveted with straw.
As the weather warms in the spring
the ventilation shoukl be cleared,
These are the outlines of a pitting
rstem described in a circular written
by Mr. F. S. Browne, assistant to the
Dominion Agrostologist, Ottawa.

An excellent grade of milk can al-
ways be obtained with the milking
machine if strict attention is given
every clay in the year to tiro proper
„cleamang of the machine and of the;
other utensils which come in contact'
with the milk.
The essential steps in cleaning,'
milking -machines are es follows:
(1) A rapid but careful washing of,
tho machine by drawing through it.
immediately after each milking (a) a
pail of cold water, (b) a pail of hot
alkali water, and (c) a pail of clear)
hot water.
(2)•Tbe immersion of ilio teat -cups
and all tubber parts in a good steriliz-
ing solution (chloride oflime) bo-
tween man -logs, all'o'wing for the!
escape of air from the tubes so that
the solution can reach all ports.
3. A thorough weelc.ly overhauling
of the teat -claps and tabes, •
(4) The daily scalding and thorough
drying of all meta parte coming in
contact 'with tho milk, except those
parts •kept in the steriutuing sointtmn,

other folks' affairs, sitting with his
tail all curial up under bine and his
little bright eyes sne ppin'g like Corals.
Whenever there was talking or
quarreling or singing there was littl'h
Jack Rabbit, Pshaw, but he was a
busybody, sure enough, lle even went
listening around two -legs' houses and
more than ono nearly ,got caught and
popped into a pie. But he alwayg
managed to run pretty fast, and after
a while folks really got used, to the
lilts t chap editing on his hind paws
taking in all the news. The creatures,
too, didn't pay any mere attention to
Min than if he'd been a tree stump. .
"That's only little Jack Ra'blbdtl"
they'd say to one 'another and go right
on with their speechifying,
But not satisfied with ell the things
he heard in the woods and in, the vil-
lage where he visaec1, Jack started
staying awake' at nights and trying to
hear what tho goblins and fairies were
up to, For many, many nights he
listened to their secrets and first
thing you know he began trying to
put into practice the fairy ,charms and
epelis he had overheard. One day he
met old Mr. Hedgehog. Mr. Hedge-
hog washed him good -day and asked
him what all the news 'was.
Instead of answering, Jacic stopped
short and twinkled his whiniest,
"Abra-ca'bra labra cobs" mumbled
Jack Rabbit, anti, pop! away flew Mr.
Hedgehog as invisible as air. H•e
didn't know he was invisible either
and while Jaek Rabbit laughed and

around telling one another that a

Eke Henry Hedgehog, and poor Mrs,
Hedgehog when she heard her bus -
band's voice and bumped into some-
thing s'ho -couldn't see in the parlor
fell into 'e swoon from which the en-
tire village could not arouse her.
Now it happened that a little fairy
chanced by and heard all the confu-
sion and putting two and two together
decided that someone was practicing
magic.
'And. this conclusion once reached• it
w'as not hard for her to find the cul-
prit. 'Changing Bleary Hedgehog to
his visible self again she hurried bade
to her companions and told them of
Jacie Rabbit's prank.
The fairies were vary angry and re-
solved to teach Jack a lesson. And
a little goblin, who was listening to
the fairies, on his own aecount re-
solved to do the same.
That evening Jack went as usual to
the fairy ring and hid in a hole with
only his ears sticking out the top. The
fairies laughed and sang, 'all the time
drawing nearer to Jack Rab'bit's hid-,
ing place. And the goblins, led by,
the one little goblin who (had heard
of the fairies' plan, dug up through,

Burning Trash.
Burning old papers and other rub-
bish is attended with no little danger,,
as the wind may suddenly arise and.
blow the burning material in all di-
rections. Holders for such rubbish
can be made from a few feet of wire:
and some old poultry netting, three
feet wide. The top and bottom are
made by bending a stout wire into a.
circle and covering with the netting..
The bottom is securely wired to the
outside netting„ while the top is
hinged by a loop of wire. A holder
three feet high and about two feet,
in diameter is of a convenient size,
Getting Rid of Rats.
1 have finally gotten rid of rats.
This is what did the work: Three cups
of. corn meal, three teaspoons of
plaster pans. Stir together and then
put away in odarlk place in a pan.
Place pan underneath a box with a
hole in it just large enough for a rat
to enter. have the box with beards
on 'ell sides as though you did not
want the rats to get in and you'll find
that they will get the corn meal. Be
careful that no chick or animal can
get the corn meal prepared this way,
as it will hake in their stomachs and
kill them as it does rats. -H. J. Hart.
The Welfare of the Home
Little Plays to Act at Horne—By Mary Frances Davis
A prominent educator says that no
knowledge becomes a usefinl part of
us until we have translated it into
action, That is why small -children
love to play the thing which claims
their interest at any moment. After
seeing a parade, a littlo boy loves to
assume a snit! military bearing, seize
a stick for a flag, impress all avail-
able c'hildren as soldiers, and start a
parade. Every mother of a little girl
knows 'bow very early baby girls be-
gin to play at housolkeeping. They love
to wash clothes, iron, sweep, dust and
"matcher" their dolls. They should be
encouraged an these activities.
This is the natural instinct of
dramatization, and can be utilized in'
developing desirable qualities in a
child, and in 'impressing useful knowl-
edge, for the child canes to under-
stand thrsaugb doing'. Children love
to fly like birdies, creep softly liko
mice, and gallop liko ponies. After a
trip to the Zoo, they have ninny glen -
bus aftermaths of pleasure in roaring
like the Pints, climbing like the
monkeys, and imitating the entice of
the hears. A wise mother will fortify
her nerves, and encourage her child in
this, for in assuming the roles of
various animals, the child is conning
to underste-nd then, and to make
them a part of his general knowledge.
Children of, loindergarten age, or
even younger, love to "act" the stories
they know, Mother Goose rhymes are
enjoyed by all the little folks, and
mothers will find that children take
keen delight in dramatizing them.
After the children are thoroughly
familiar with the incidents of Miss
Muffett, Jack Horner and Jack and
Jill, let them be those characters. In
our own nursery, we find this a happy
way to spend rainy mornings. Little
Miss Muffed sits on a .foot -stool, in-
dustriously eating make-believe curds
and whey from a large tin plate, with
a small tin spoon. We al! recite the
rhyme together, and at the thrilling
words, "there came a big spider and
sat down beside her," little brother
lowers a whisk broom, Miss Mullett,
much frightened, jumps up, dropping
dish and spoon with a pleasing coiner.
and rushes to a far corner. Then we
all laugh, and the children short,
"Play it again!"
Little Jack Hornet is car-ily ::r,l:na-
tized. He sits cross -logged in a tu-
ner, with a bright colored 0an:lc box,
which plays the part 61 the (Mil tn110
pie. As we recite "he put in his
thumb and pulled out a plum," the
hero holds aloft a small rubber brill,
and cries, "\\''hat a great boy am I!"
All of the simple nursery rhyme: may
be played in like manner.
There is a large field, of manned
with dramatic possibilities which may
be so utilized.
