ChildrenTery FOR FLITIIIINS CASTADRIA BACTERIA IN THE MILK a,,maomermeak• Bacteria, Yeasts and Moulds Greatly Influence Milk, Most Bacterial Changes Are Hurtful —How Bacteria Gets Into Milk—. How to Prevent Injury to the Milk. • (Contributed by °nutria Department ot agricuitura Toronto.) ACTEkIA play a ;very import- ant role in the railk and dairy industry. Practically 'all the natural changeseither good or bad that take \place in milk from the timelt is _ drawn until the time -it Is consunted,_or otherwise lised, are due to the action of the various spe- cies of bacteria, . that gets into it, though sometimes 'yeasts and molds are involied. If the milk is to he consumed as milk, then most of the changes that Lake place in it, as a result of bac- terial action, are injurious. Excep- tions to this are found in the pre- pared fermented milk, as Kephir, Kottmiss and Bulgarian milk; in these, however, the bacterial action is controlled and cultures of certain species of bacteria are added to the intik to bring about the desired changes. • EierybOdy knows that if a sample of ordinary milk is 'kept for a few days, particularly if it is not kept cold,' it will sour or become gassy or ropy or putrid. 'This sour- ing, ropiness, gas production and putrefaction, is brought about bY dif- ferent species of bacteria in the milk. As the changes in the milk which these bacteria produce are injurious and undesirable, everybody who has anything to do with the handling of milk should know how.' to prevent their occurrence. • In the; ordinary methods of obtain- ing and handling milk: it is impos- Obis to prevent some bacteria, from getting into it. With proper care, however, a large .percentage of the bacteria that ordinarilly get into milk can be prevented from getting in, and with proper handling of the milk the few that do get fa can be prevented from producing any marked changes within a reasonable time. It is de- sirable, then, that those who have to do with 'the production and handling of milk should know how to prevent,. as far sa possible, the bacteria from getting into the milk and also how to prevent those that de get in from bringing about the changes which re- sult in the spoiling of the milk. How Bacteria Get Into Unless the cow's udder is diseased very few bacteria are present in the milk as it is drawn, and those that are present are of very little conse- quence. Thus the bacteria found in raw milk get into it during the milk- ing operations and during the later handling of the milk. Bacteria of many kinds are pres- ent in large numbers in a dusty atmosphere, on bits of hay, straw, cow hairs, manure, flies, dirty hands, dirty clothes, and in milk pails, cans, bottles, strainers, and other milk utensils that are not thoroughly washed and scalded. Consequently, if we are to keep bacteria out of milk we must prevent the above-named substances from getting into the milk, and we must pay particalar attention to the washing and thorough scald- ing of all -milk utensils and in hav- ing clean hands and clothes. It is generally considered that pro- vided the milk is passed through a strainer when being filled into the cans from the milk pail all the ob- jectionable materials are removed from the milk, as dirt, bits of hay, straw, manure, cow hairs, files, etc. This is a great mistake as the bac- teria which were present on these when they dropped into the milk pail are washed off into the: milk, - and these bacteria pass readilythrough the.finest strainers used. Consequent- ly, steps must be taken to prevent these materials getting into the milk. 1. The atmosphere of the stable must be free as possible from. dust during the milking operations. An* feeding, bedding down or cleaning up should. be done at least an hour before, �r left until after milking. 2. Cover -top or sanitary milk pails should be used instead of the vhde open -top pails. 3. Doors an.d windows should be fly screened. 4. Cows should be kept clean and groomed so that bits of dirt, manure, hairs, etc.,. shall not fall from the Cows' flanks into the Rail during milking. 6. 4.11 milk- utensils should be thoroughly washed and scalded every time before use. How to Prevent Bacteria. From Spoiling the Milk.—Even .after all reasonable care has been taken to prevent bacteriological contamination of the milk as outlined above, ,some contamination will occur, that is, a few bacteria will. -get into the milk in some way or other. If these are allowed to multiply in the milk they will spoil it. The best way to prevent their rapid multipliCation in the milk is to chill it immediately ,in the cooling tank or refrigerator, and keep -it cold until used. A small amount of bac- terial multiplication will take place, even at refrigeration temperatures, and this- will show itself in the con- dition of the milk in coarse of time. But milk that has been obtained an - der clean conditions and has been kept cold should be in excellent con- dition even after forty-eight hours. Summary of Milk Contamination Preventive. Measures.—Prevent dust,' cow hairs,bits of hay, straw, and manure, flies and drops of dirty water from getting into the milk during milking operations as outlined above. Thoroughly clean and Steraa lize all pails, cans, bottles and other utensils. Cool the milk at once down to refrigeration temperature and keep - It cool and covered until used. -a -Prof.. D. H.

Modernization, they are saYing, iv what the people of the erstwhile 'Dan- ish- West Indies are now clamoring for. . And they shoeld Imes it, nO "doubt, to bring the histou of these verdant dots Upon the Caribbean uP to date? People they had, and trade, and-custems of their own, so it seerns, even before Columbus got his* first . sight of them in 1493; and since then they have been successively Spanish, British, French, Dutph* and Dartbsh. Now they are American. But will even that sort of thing make Much change in the islande ' and their people? Perhaps not even the American enthusiasta really wish to see them greatly changed. Already for years English has been the com- mon speech around =the wharves and shops of Charlotte Amalie or Chris- flansted or .Fre.deriksted, • and the American who Wishes to take a trip . to the islands, and -see what the late est American territorial acquisitions look- like, CRII do so without having .even so much of linguistic difftculty as he Would be likely to encounter in touring Cuba„ At the same time he, can, feel himself much farther from , the beaten path of travelers„,search- ' big out the haunts of the sea rover. like Sir Francis Drake, or Morgan the Buccaneer, or Martin 'Frobisher, -while safely - ,enjoying the grateful balm of tropic airs . and the bseuty of tropic scenery. Why it is that one hears almost never of any one of the. Virgin le - lands other than St. Monist!, or At. Croix, or St. John, the three of major size, is hard to. say, unless it be be- cause the first has perhaps the beet harbor in the West Indies, the se- cond raises much sugar, and the third grows bay leaves „enougb to provide half the wholeworld's requirement of bay rum. Traders know theme larg- est islands, and have known them from the earliest times. Yet there th something to be said of the other Iislands, almost fifty of them, that lie scattered over the .surface of the sea all about and among the three largest. There is Virgin' Gorda, with no town upon it, only little clusters of huts like diminutive villages. And there are Ginger, and Salt, and Copp- er, and Peter, and Norman, and the island that some people call Dead' Chest and others Duchees (though perhaps, after all, the one name is only a corruption of the other). Hew the names suggest the days of the . freebooters, who "roved the Spanish Main" and made for these outlying ca.ys of the Virgins whenever their ships needed to be beached and over- hauled, or they theinselves were siok of pirating and eager for life ashore! ... The white beaches of these secluded islets could tell a story of many a pirate crew, scraping and -repairing their swift vessels in the days of old, ur perhaps burying just the sort ..of treasure cheat that romantic travel - ars of modern times are always sup - 'toiled to be trying to and, Of course, - there is it least one island Of the group where„,so the story goes, buried treasure was once actually discovered. It was a black who found it, as it is the blacks who, for the most part, tell the atom He was a merchant from St. Thomas, who, having spent some time on Nor- man Island, suddenly and myster- iously became rich there. It was ru- mored that in exploring a rocky cave at the far end of the island he had dug up an ancient iron chest, filled with Spanish doubloons. The subse- quent finding of an old chest by a fisherman, who chanced to land near the cave, and noticed what seemed to him to be an excaivation, naturally served to corroborate the story. However, Stories of that sort never trouble the tourist much. He likes .them. True -or not, they help to give touring a zest, for journeying to a -cave that may, possibly, have been the hiding place of 50111e old buc- caneer's ill-gotten gains is far and away more interesting than running up along the shore just to see a cave, as a cave. One may say that the people of the 'Virgins have al- ready learned how to take advantage of this truism with respect to tour- ists, for there is,-- or has been until recently in the islands, a sailing ves- sel that has been. customarily pointed out as an object of interest by rea- son of her long service. She has been a passenger transport, a mail boat, a carp carrier, almost everything that can be schooner -rigged, it seems, and is said to have been built in the Unit- ed States in the year 1800. But tour- ists of sophistication, who have thought- to . question the ability of even theproductof an old -thine ship- yard to withstand the successive cruises and 'storms and sinkings and raisings accredited to this craft of a bygone century, have been able to -satisfy themselves that the only sec- tion of the original - craft now re- maining is, after all, only a short piece of the keel. ' All the rest la patches! Whence Comes Chewing Gum. Within recent years the consump- tion of chewing -gum has enormously increased. The raw material has be- come a very important article of com- .meree, being obtained from tropical America. Much of it comes- from Mexico, and Venezuela exports it in immense quantities. It is the product of a tree, called "zapote," which is tapped for itS "milk," the latter being boiled down to a gummy solid and sent to market in big chunks. Commercially it is known as "chicle." It is absolutely tasteless. Indeed, this total lack of taste is one of its tWo really import- ant qualities, inasmuch as it is there- by enabled readily to accept any flavor. The other essential quality is "chewiness." Imported in the raw state, the gum has only to be suitably flavored, cut into sticks, and attractively wrapped, in order to find ready sale.

"Alannah!" called her father. He spoke softly, tenderly. "Come! Just for a moment." He pulled her on. his knee, "And now that ye're here I can't remember just what it was I wanted to say to ye." Constraint, a queer awkwardnessesuddenly seized upon him. "But I think it was for this, darlin'!" He put his palms to her cheeks and drew her to him and kissed her forehead. He was silent for a few moments, holding her_close to him. "And now off with ye, and be gay!" he said, huskily. But her lips quivered when she rose and she turned her face away so that he might not see the tears in her eyes. Between them the subject of his health was taboo. Bat with love's appre- hension she had watched, day by day, the sallow whiteness taking the place of the healthy tan; the gaunt hands had trembled more than ever before when they touched her cheeks.

CHAPTER XII A wedding puts spurs to Donald Kezar's passion and he tells Clare more with hie eyes than he dares ;to utter with his mouth; the Kava- nagh journeys with his spiked boots. There were a good many others in the Toban besides John Kavanagh who failed to approve the match be- tween Timothy Mulkeron and little Rosie O'Shea. But though 'rim's wis- dom was questioned, his love for the girl never was. Rosie was a bit of a public char- acter in Fit proper sort of waY. She came up from the city to be a waitress" at the tavern, at Ste. Agathe. Before her advent there had never been a waitress at the .tafern. Slouchy, awkward youths had served food to the patrons, who were mostly woodsmen boarders and timber -job transients. But when Felix Dube took the tavern he set aside a special table for sportsmen and commercial bag- men and secured Rosie O'Shea, right from the city, a real waitress, by pay- ing her special wages as an attraction, She was worth the price. She had bright eyes, a snub nose, a freckle or two to set off the peachblow of her cheeks; she stepped quickly in her high -heeled shoes and flicked her sb.ort skirts tantalizingly. When she stroll- ed up and down the streets, in her hours off duty, under her pink sun- * shade, men stood still and gazed af- ter her, and the girls of the village kept to the other side of the street in, order that Rosie's city -made dress- es might not put the home-made finery to shame. And Rosie had a reputation quite her own. One even- ing, in front of the big store, she slapped the face of a sportsman whom liquor had made loving. And the second time they met she slapped the face of Tim Mulkern. But she smiled when she slapped him. "It was a big mosquito!' she explained. "Mercy! There he was biting and biting and you didn't seem to notice -him." But it is doubtful whether - Tim Mulkern just then would have taken his attention from Rosie O'Shea to devote any of it to a bulldog chewing on his leg. The girl was looking on something she had never seen before—her soul realized it because her feminine wit was keen. She had had plenty of experience, and this new experience had had no parallel in her life. She saw utter, blind, worshipful, wistful, adoringself-surrender—absolute ex- position of the "I'll -let -you -walk -on - me" kind of love, a love so supremely self-abnegatory that it was voice- less. That was the beginning —of the courtship; the end of it was a prompt promulgation of the banns, to the amazement of Ste. Agathe.

And when poor, wandering Tint asked her for an explanation, in hope that he might -be able to wake Up to aeme realization that this happiness was not it dream, she said: "It's be. you weren't fresh, Tim. Every- body else has been fresh right off. I don't care if your hair is gray. It's the way you look at me that gets mel It got me right at the start! It dont do no good to have a feller tell she's a lady and good enough for him unless his lobk goes with what he says." Tint Mulkeron, after that, did not mind what folks said behind his back about his match -with Rosie O'Shea. He felt that he understood better than they. So he bought the new house which Archie McCobb bad built at Ste. Agathe; the widow was anxious to sell; her folks wanted her to come down -river and she hated the Toban because Arable was oneof the three whose names Old .ttaitsnipe had added that spring to the roster on the cliff at Deadman's Strip. . And the furniture and the carpets and the la-dale/lacks which Tim had jammed into the little liguse! His bachelor tastes had been content with little and he had saved the money John Kavanagh had paid him. As for the wedding -party, he did not stint the entertainment he provided for his friends. It was open house for all who chose to come. He wanted all to see the proud happiness that was his. When Clare and Donald walked up the little hill into the yard of MIA- kern's home they saw groups of men clustered at windows, heads close to- gether. They were inspecting the cottage. But they were vigorously resisting all of Tid's urgings to come hi and walk on the carpets a.nd sit M the chairs. "It's right enough place for our women -folks," said a spokesman, "but it's too good for critters like us to trample into."„ So the men crowded . at the windows, heads close, arms over shoulders, exehanging repartee with the women indoors. Under the pine -trees near the house long -tables were spree& "Sizzle" Cyrus, volunteer chef for the occasion, was shoveling the tamp- ed earth from the top. of the bean- hole—the vapor rose about him as he ttoaigIliw d t. h a se shedr,bi a t rugof pannikins tarthe of the cot- with plenty t( ed around it, and an old man s t . re M the shade and Addled industriously. He had dressed for the dccasion; he wore a long -tan - ed coat of faded blue and sported a red, made-up bow buttoned against a celluloid collar. Mulkeron came hurrying out to meet the daughter of his master. His new gray suit had not a crinkle in it. "Only one other moment -01 joy this day that's ahead of this moment, Miss Clare!" he cried, "and that was when Father Pierre gave no his bless- ing and I knew the knot had. been tied." His joy was almost hyster- ical. "Glory lie, she bas taken old Tim." Clare held out her hand to him, and all the other men took off their hats and smiled on her. "She has found a good husband. My father adds his word to mine." She went into the cottage and kissed the little bride: Then she led Rosie away, slipping arni confidentially about the girl's waist. "I ,have a message from my father, and you must show me your new home every corner of it!' The bride, departing, turned a look of gratitude on Mulkern with brim- ming eyes; she was thanking him for having raised her to such a plane of respect as this. Young Kezar had stopped at the threshold and Mulkern hurried to him. "My best to you, Tim! You have a right to be proud of her." "Ay, man, you're right. it's grand to be married. And there was pride in your own face when you walked up here just now." The little thrust made those in hearing giggle. 'I meant nothing that may offend, Don, but it's hard for me to hold MY old tongue on a day like this." "The wedding -bells are ringing gay," stated sornebody, jocosely.' "Seems to be fine weather for it. Probably a wedding will follow a• funeral even at Oil Joel's pace; they say that Paul Sabatis is going to marry the Hebert girl," _ So the ready tongues of the Toban were tossing his le! Kezar walked aiway toward the tables, for many eyes were on him and he was net sure just What his counten- ance -might tell them. "De, you drink with us, Timr queried a man.
