not the guilty party, Milk does eot
come from the cow entirely fees from
bacteria, because it is impossible to
keo the teats of the cow sterile;
however, we can keep them cleat and
reduce contamination front this
source. The deem of the teats and
the body tempernture of the cow af-
ford ideal conditions for the bacteria
to intiltiply and, the best we can do,
the lower duets of the -teats will con-
tain a considerable =neer of bac-
teria. By using the first few jets of
milk to wash out the ducts, the milk
that goes into the pail will be practi-
cally free from bacteria. If proper
care is taken at this stage of pro-
duction, the few bacteria which get
into the 'milk from this source are of
but little consequence.
On the other hand, cows that have
loc‘ea diseaeee of the udder may give
milk which at times is contaminated
with the bacteria which cause this
disease. There it a well-founded
opinion in medical circles that such
germs can live and pass into -the body
of the user and cause the same dis-
ease as the cow was affected with.
This shows us that tuberculosis of
the udder may readily be transmitted
to human beings, or to young stock.
Milk from unhealthy cows should
never be used by human beings, or to
feed yonng stock on the farm. No
matter how well the other require-
ments ere met, if the cows producing
the milk are not all in good health
we fail.
After proper precautions in milking
we are confronted by other troubles.
First, it is °et:posed to dust and dirt
in the stable, which consists largely
of dried manure and urine from the
floor. The cow is fiot a particularly
cleae animal and the same materials
that are bound on the floor will be
found, in a greater or less- degree,
dried upon her flanks, belly and tail.
If the long hail. on the rev's tell,
flanks and udder are not clipped and
'brushed and the udder washed the
movements of the cow and milker set
in motion a rain of this bacteria -
laden duet and the swishing of the
cow's tail only adds to the trouble.
The dried exereneut dust is rich
in organic matter and loaded with
bacteria from the intestates and urin-
ary passages of the cow, which -thrive
and multiply on the food thus given
them. By adhering to this solid dirt
they get into milk and find ideal
places to grow and multiply. When.
we drink such milk we take in many
of the former inhabitants of the cow's
stomach and intestines. The thought
of this becomes repuleve when we re-
member that the cow ma Y be throw-
ing off tuberculosis bacilli :before the
disease appears -elsewhere. There is
greater danger in milk being con-
taminated from this source than be-
fore it leaves the udder. Such bacteria
cause serious diseases when taken
int the human stomach end intes-
tines. Dried excrement from the
cows body will cause this kind- of
contamination and undoubtedly plays
even a greater part when the cows
are kept in a filthy, dust -laden stable
so common on dairy farms.
Hay and straw dust will give rise
to 710 Very serious diseases, but it
will tend to hasten the souring. of the
milk, and, cause varieus bacterial
growths that will impart a disagree-
able odor and taste to the milk. Such
dust is as much out. of place so far
as clean milk is concerned- as the
other. Lactic acid germs are always
present where cenditione are right for
their growth and development, mad
while they do not affect the sanitary
qualities of the milk, they do affect its
keeping qualities.
The milkers and handlers of milk in
the dairy rooms are a prolific coerce
of contamination. ,Unclean method.s
of milking "and handling of the pro-
ducts afford opportunities for the pol-
lution of the milk by disease organ-
isms, as well as dust and dirt that
adheres to the inilker's hands and
clothing. Here is where such disease
bacteria as typhoid, scarlet fever and
diphtheria get into the milk. Milk
as ir comes from the healthy cow, does
not contain these bacteria. They
mime from the outside after the milk
is drawn from the cow. Any person

Of . danger to MI who use the milit
from such a dairy, Typhoid, ellphs
therla and scarlet fever outbreaks
without number prove this point With
their deadly results, •
In the care of &yew utenelis there
is still further chance of coeteminas
teen. This trouble is not from bac.
Mela that coinmenly adhere to these
utensils but from those introduced in
handling and washing. Washing and
curing for the dairy utensils is very
exec -Eng from the standpoint of
:cleanliness and the quelity of the
water ased. A supply of ;bacteria:.
laden water which will leave some of
the bacteria on the utensils is. an
insidious source of Unger to cote
smilers of milk. When the milk goes
into these utensils there is a fresh
supply of these bacteria ready to
thrive ane multiply on their new sup-
ply of feed and they grow and mul-
tiply with disastrous results. If ty-
phoid germs are in- well -water they
will have a chance to contaminate any
milk that goes into the utensils after
they home been washed in such water.
Numerous other -kinds of bacteria
such as those that cause ropy, colored
end slimy milk are frequently in well-
wethe that is used in washing the
dairy utensils.
Cooling the milk immediately after
it is drawn front the cow will retard
the development of bacteria end the
more the temperature is lowered the
more the bacterial growth will be
retarded. Milk that is promptly re-
d.uced in temperature to forty degrees
Fahrenheit, naid held at that temper-
ature until ready for use, will keep
for a long time. When the milk is
shipped to the city the trouble is
invariably with the morning milk,
which goes into the cane without be-
ing properly cooled. In the fresh
milk the bacteria soon exceed that.
in the older milk that has been prop-
erly cooled, Coaling the milk does not
kill any of the disease -producing bac-
teria or the lactic acid' bacteria, so
that it can not take the place of
cleanliness in the production of milk.
AR of the bacteria present in cold
milk will become active as soon as the
temperature conclitione become favor-
able. Cleanliness is of first import-
ance and cooling is next.
Many instructive and entertaining
articles have been written on the sub-
ject of clean milk, and if all of this
advice could be carried out, a prac-
tically clean product could be made.
But the success of such a plan in-
volves expenses that would work
hardship upon many of the producers
at'the present time. This is not say-
ing that good milk cannot be made at
present prices, but to show that the
dairymen who have a few come can
make clean milk withotet hiving any
very elaborate equipment. He can
keep his milk clean by simply giving
attention to the few simple details
of handling the milk end. the small
expense involved will require but a
small outlay of time and money.
Among the essentials of clean milk
I would name a healthy cow, milked
Ill a clean stable, by a clean milker
a-nd clean -covered pail, and handled
only by clean and healthy attendants
in a clean dairy room' and put into
clean shipping cans and immediately
cooled down to forty or fifty degrees
and held at that temperature until
ready to be shipped. By clean and
sanitary milk I mean only such a
degree of cleanliness as outlined in
this article, and which does not involve
expenses that are entirely out of reach
of the' dairyman's means. Healthy
cows and cleanliness will give milk
that is bacteria free. Cold will keep
it in this condition. We can not get
sanitary milk from told, dirty milk,
or from warm, clean milk. Both fac-
tors are essential to success.
Most of the diet which- gets into
milk falls into the pail during milk-
ing. A large part of this dirt may
be kept out by .the use of a small top
or partially covered pail.
In producing clean inn- it is not
more knowledge that we need so much
as it is the desire to do decently the
things we already know.. It is easy
for the scientist to tell us how to keep
harmful baeteria out of milk, but in
our every day work we axe doing
pretty well if we succeed in keeping
out something that is called by a
different name.

Encouraging Nature
Study
One day last spring, a little gill
asked me if ft *ere true that robins
liked to eat other -things then worms
I replied that rebin.e woule eat fruit
when they were thiesty if they could
find no teeter.
"Oh, ,Ittee nhen they're thirety," she
exclaimed in a tone of surprise.
"Then I had better give them a basin
of water, -because father gets terribly
peovoked at the robins when he sees
them in our cherry tree or in the
strawberry patch."
I told he that in the strawberry
patch robins were much more likely
to hunt the grubs ,and cutworms that
Injure the roots of the vines than to
eat the strawberries, but that they did
like cherries. I asked hell if she would
like to make friends with the birds
and fix a place in her garden where
they could drink when they were
thirsty or. bathe and splash about in
the warm weather. She was delighted
with the idea of making zomething
tiedel and) wanted to know lime to
build a bird bath. I gladly peornieed
to help het Make one, nate accordingly
I went to her Immo ane meening soon
after our convereation. Together we
gathered several baskets full of small
stones front a vacant lot 'near her
home, then :ore Seleeted a spot in -en
open specs in her -garden where we
set up a pyramid about three feet
high, After we had finished it we
filled Et big flower -pot saucer With
water and placed it on top of the
pyramid.
When the warm weather came the
birds used this bath so much that the
water had to be changed several times
a- clay. But the pleasure of watching
the different birds that came to the
garden to, quench their thirst and
splash about in the cool water move
than compensated for the -slight
trouble of filling the bath, The other
members of the child's family became
as much interested, in their feathery
friends as the little mason who had
built the bath, and the practical fails -
cc observed with satisfaction that his
fruit trees were.less aetractiva to ,the
birds.
But God hits made no better thing's
In all the stars that vise end 'set
Than life that grows by cherishing
And cannot leiter or forget.

ment. Help others by giving it

tional 'border, tied that animals enter-
ing the count-ry are subject to rigid

no record. of an outbreak of Eime-and-
Mouth disease within the booed:trim
of Canada and that the only cases
known here were la two consignments
which came from Greet Britain her,
self 57 years ago. Both Foot -and -
Mouth disease and pleuro -pneumonia
had occurred' in the United States, but
neither disease had eller crossed the
boundary, Rinderpest, or cattle
plague, has never occurred in Canada.,
and any of the rare appearances ef
anthrax have been instantaneously
and vigorously dealt with. Cattle
mange, which has occasionally been
found in a limited area, has- been vire
teeny eliminated Heavy penalties
are inflicted under the Contagious
Diseases Act if any attempt is made
to remove live stock without a special
permit from any quarantined district.
When animals are exported they are
subjected to the most careful inspec-
tion.. If the ember& were lifted
even more stringent measures, if pos-
sible, would be taken to prevent the
importation of unhealthy cattle.
Twenty -fur outbreaks of Foot -and -
Mouth disease were known to have
occurred in Great Britain in 1920, but
it had not been permitted' to enter this
country. If it were possible for Can.
ads to safely -import cattle from
eddies the seas in such, circumstances,
it was surely possible for Britain to
import safely from here. Canadian
store cattle can be shipped with free-
dom to France and other coon -trial.
Since the embargo came into force
over three million cattle from Canada
had been slaughtered at British ports
and not a single ease of Foot -and -
Mouth disease or Pleuro-mneumonia
had been discovered, Dr. Tohnie
quoted British authorities in support
of his contention, gave figures to
prove the advantages that would ac-
crue to the Mother Country by ree
move of the embargo, and suggested
that an impetus would be given to the
importation of pure-bred stock. He
further said that under normal -condi-
tions this country can be depended
upon to export from 200,000 to 400,-
000 head of store cattle annually.
Fighting Quack Grass With-
out a Hoe.
One of the farmer's problems is to
met a crop that -he wents, avoid a crop
that be does -not want, and get out
on the right side of the ledger. One
of the methods" of -getting rid of such
pests as thistles and quack -grass that
has been suggested is to put a ce-
ment pavement over the place and
keep it there for a few years, or as a
cheaper substitute: cover the land
with tarred pa -per till the existing
plants are smothered out, all of which
seems paying too much, assuming
that the desired result could be ob-
tained.
Another method, not involving
much use ef the ho -a, and, which looks
good on paper, however it might work
out in practice, has teen suggested,
viz., to seed the plant to alfalfa and
crop the alfalfa till the weeds are
choked out. If that would work it
would seem hard to beat; but, like
the 'story of the Swede who want-
ed his chum to jump from the
dock to the ferry, and suggest-
ed that he might snake it in a
couple of jumps, there might he an
initial difficulty in getting the stand
of. alfalfa.
Perhaps such suggestions may look
like the cogitations of a man too lazy
to work, hunting for some easy way;
but if such men really find the easy
way they are public benefactors. If Such meterial should net be used for
they fail they are called dreamers. bedding or thrown into manure.

lowing experience is recited;
Last spring we decided to put; in
some senflewers for ellege. op a plet
flint had quite a patch of solid quack -
grass on it; and by such cultivation as
could be Othined we heed to hold the
quack beck till the sunflowers eot
going, and it looked fel. a while hue
is losing game; but fighting one weed
with a more vigorous and thrifty orie
is pretty good logic, and surely the
reeder will admit that the sunflower
is a hustler, Well, pretty soon the
eunflowere were reaching up higher
than the quack could; nail --unlike corn,
the broad terms of the sunflowers left
eo spaces between for the sunlight
to .get down to where the quack was;
and the groundlings began to look
rather pale but still there.
Then came the, second part of the
play. The sunflowers word then abeut
six or eight feet high and fairly
steciry. As a methed of getting rid
some of the quack without laying off
from the baying, we turned- the sheep
into the field, They immediately be-
gan teaming the quack into mutton
without charge, picking only the low-
er leaves of the senflowers that would
soon fell off anyway, ance doing little
other harm. This done, they were
turned out. Now the ground looks
pretty clean, without any labor ex-
pense to get it, and we 'hope the quack
will not be so robust next spring.

Corn Borer Causing Serious
Damage.
Owing to the extensive -spread of
the European Corn Borer in the
Province of Ontario and the States
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
in 1921, fifty official entomologists
end agriculturists of Canada and the
United States -recently met at San-
dusky, Ohio, and St. Thomas, Ontario.
It was recognized that the natural
spread of the insect and its establish-
ment over large areas, makes exter-
mination Impossible and it was agreed
that efforts- be detected to 'check fur-
ther spread so far as possible one to
promote the speedy development of
practical control measures.
The 'conference adopted the follow-
ing methods of control,- which have
been found of value: -
(1) Cut corn clio.se to the ground
and. as early as- possible.
(2) Ensle entire crop wherever
possible, and this should include all
waste from canning factories.
(8) Shred or cut cornstalks before
feeding, since this kills many borers
and promotes consumption of the
fodder.
(4) Uneaten corn etalks, including
corn stover in field, lot or barn or
parts of stalks sheuld be completely
plowed or 'burned before May 15th.
all start out in the spring, hoe

But by the hale the days get

begin to get the better of us, and soon

In the State of Kansas, which might
well be copied in this, province. It
was called the Eugenie Department
and was -listed in the program (or fair

department was a hand -some silver

test wa-s open to all healthy Kansans,

hearing and teeth, besides the special
laboratory tests for adults.
The examinations were made in a

building -was divided into eight small
rooms, opening from it centre hall,
thus giving easy necess from one
room to another and securing the de-

The examining • staff consisted of
eight specialists, besides their assist-
ants and clerks, making in -all a force
of eighteen people who gave their
time and talent free, because of their
interest in the peen.
