lbho dairy interests are dealing with

their elimination on every farm; and

In every business where food is
bodied dust means direct lowering of
quality, if not aebuol spoiling. Dust-
,lassness pays. Cleanliness is next to
,profits, Dust inside a dairy barn or
Malik house often indleatei faulty con-
struction. When the trouble is stud-
ied, and when the rause is corrected
the problem of reducing the amount
of sediment and ba•teria in milk will
be partially solved. The president of
-one of the big city milk companies
recently said to the writer: "We place
:more stress upon the se sent test
Athan upon the bacterin eot�, because
if milk is comparatively free of sedi-
ment the number of bacteria, as a rule,
will not be excessive," In a broad
way the ceiling of the side walls and
overhead of the dairy stable and milk
house with lath and plaster or match-
ed material will 'lead to the production
of cleaner milk. Bacteria are close-
ly related to dust when it comes to
produeirll.; arniiary nlllk, and the same
care le stable and milk house construc-
tion produces as plea;;ant results. It
is still impossible to produce a germ -
teal milk -a few duet particles and
bacteria enter the milk in south my-
sterious ways that there will always
be more er less trouble from such
sources, but careful stable manake-
ment has reduced the amount of dust
and number of bacteria to such an ex-
tent that the milk produced on many
farms is a pure and healthful food.
As .the dairy farmer understands that
this sort of thine pays the incentive to
aboli,h dust and bacteria becomes
very direct and practical.

cow entirely free from bacteria, be-
cause it is impossible to keep the 'teats
of the cow sterile; however, we can
keep them cleats and reduce contami-
nation from this saurei,. The-dude
of the teats and the body temperature
of the cow afford ideal conditions for
the bacteria to multiply and, the best
we van do, the !ewer ducts of the
teats will contain eansiderable num-
bers of hruteria, By using the first
few jets of mill: to wash out the ducts
the milk that goes into the pail will
be practically free from bacteria. If
proper care is taken at this stage of
pzoduetloe, the few bacteria which
get into the milk from this 8051050
are of but little consequeneo to the
consumer,
On the outer hand, rows that have
local diseases of the udder may give
milk which at times la contaminated
with the bacteria whish cause this
disease. There is many a proof that
such germs can live and pass into the
body of the user and cause the same
iliseaae as the cow was afflicted with,
This shows us that tuberculosis of the
udder may readily be transmitted to
other animals. Milk from amhealthy
cows should never be used by human
beings, or to feed young stock on the
farm. No matter how well all other
requirements are met, if the cows pro-
ducing the milk are not in good health
we fail.
The milkers and handlers of the
milk in the dairy rooms aro a prolific
source of contamination. Unclean
methods of milking and the handling
of the products afford opportunities
for the pollution of the milk 'by dis-
ease organisms, as well a's dust and

Cooling the milk immediately after

growth soon exceeds that in the older
milk that has been properly cooled,
Cooling the milk does not kill any of

that every method be employed for in-

Ibe produced front our present supply
of breeding ewes. One method not
' generally employed but well recogniz-
ed by old shepherds is that of flushing:
the ewes just before breeding time.
Flushing means graining or other
liberal feeding for a short time before
turning in the ram so as to make Ihol
ewes especially thrifty and rapidly
gaining flesh at the time of service. It
1 has been found bhat where this method
of handling is used, not only do a
entailer percentage of the ewes fail
to catch and come in heat again, but
more ewes give birth to twins than
when the ewes are on poor feed at
breeding time. Thus it bobh increases
the number of lambs and makes more
of them come during the first three
i weeks of the lambing period.
The ewes do not need -to be grained
all winter where plenty of good clover
hay or other satisfactory roughage is
fed, but more satisfactory results will
be obtained if they are fed well en-
ough to keep then from shrinking
weight at any time between breeding
and lambing seasons. The careful
shepherd will be well repaid for
his trouble of seeing to it that the
ewes receive sufficient feed at this
time of the year,
Sheep are often pastured even into
early winter and they are all right
there if they really get enough food.
But the frosted grass sometimes
bloats them, causing them to look full

Why Keep Accounts?
A man in Mnniboba kept accurate
accounts of his farm business.* At
the •end of the year he added together
the cash which he had on hand at the
beginning of the year and his cash
receipts during the year. .; Then he
substra•cbecl his cash. expenses during
the year roses whether the remainder
equaled the •cash balance which the
bank reported,at the end of the year.
I -Ie found he was $8 short: He ask-
ed the bank to .look up his cash bal-
ance again. They reported the same
amount the second time•
He took his farm account=book into
the bank next time_he went to town
and found that a cream check of his
had been credited to another man hav-
ing the same initials and a similar
atlrname.
The loss of $8 wouldn't have ruin-
ed this man -nor any man who ispro-
'gressive enough to keep accurate ac-
counts of his farm business, Eight
hundred dollars might have done so,
although we do not know definitely.
The incident merely shows that ad-
vantage of keeping accounts. The
most 'important thing is that this man
made money that -year, and having
kept accounts he had the satisfaction
of knowing it. So he went ahead and
planned for bigger crops the next
year.
Keeping farm accounts is not only
an advanbage; it is a necessity. Since
farming people have to make income-
tax returns just the same as other
business people, it is absolutely es-
sential to have figures upon which to
base the reports. Hence every farm=
et: ought to keep accounts. The time
necessary to keep accounts on the
farm need not amount to sore than
six hours a year. At the end of the
year the banker or county agricultural
agent will be ready to help in balanc-
ing the books, or taking the inventory
which is necessary,
There are at least four important
reasons why men on farms should
keep accounts. The main one is to
have a definite method of studying
the business with the idea of making
it more profitable. If farmers were
to produce wheat or other farm pro-
ducts without a profit, soon agricul-
ture would suffer.
b. second reason for accounts and
farm records is that they improve a
man's credit. If .a farmer can show
from carefully kept records that .the
money he wishes to borrow is to be
used for a purpose that will increase
the profits of the farm, than he will be
able to get a loan more readily and on
better terms.
A third reasop for accounts is that
they often are the means of agreeably
settling disputes or misunderstanrd-
ings that otherwise might occur be-
tween parties who deal with one an-
other and who never keep any record.
of their business transactions.
A fourth reason, and not the least
important, is that a man owes it to
hfs family to make use of every means!
possible to detect and prevent leaks in
the farm business, and thus make the
farm income sufficient for the sup-
port of the faultily anti the education
of his children.

the tools have solus l-dentifioation

Paralysis
Anxious -What is the best way to
treat a• person who is paralyzed on
one side? After a person has had one
stroke how can the next one be de-
layed?
Paralysis or what is commonly call-
ed "a stroke" means ,that there is dis-
ease or injury of the arteries. The
arteries may be very soft or they
may be very brittle. When paralysis
occurs one or more arteries in the
brain has been broken, the blood has
forced its way into the 'brain some-
what like water soaking into a sponge
and the pressure of this effused blood
injures or destroys the nerve centres
in the brain by which motion and sen-
sation in the paralyzed' parts are con-
trolled. The paralysis in most cases
is on the opposite side of the body
from that on which the accident in the
brain takes place. The reason of bilis
is that the fibres proceeding from the
brain to the spinal cord, along' which
body would be wise enough to toll

more than one ,can toll when anobher

Not the least fortunate among the
sufferers from the war aro the os-

An oatrieh a dozen years ago was
a very valuable animal, the price of
a well grown young bird being ordin-

was a prospering and promising in-
dustry in this country, though the
main source of supply was South
Africa.
The Cape government has put an
embargo on exportation of the birds,
because it wished to discourage rivals
in the market, But there wore more
than 6,000- in the United States ---the
bulk of thein in Arizona and southern
