BACTERIA IN THE MILK

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..

Danish West Indies Have • Become
American.
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

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,

' big out the haunts of the sea rover.
like Sir Francis Drake, or Morgan

-while safely - ,enjoying the grateful
balm of tropic airs . and the bseuty

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.
The Dusty Ocean.
It has been only lately discovered
that cosmic dust forms layers at the
.bottoin -of the deepest seas. ,Between
Honolulu and Tahiti, at a depth or
2,350 fathoms—over two miles and a

But her lips quivered when she rose

he might not see the tears in her eyes.

coming on—it's coming up -like I've

Your pen, man! Where was. we? It's

"John! John! I can't go on!"
"Dip your pen! I'm wading deeper.
There's no time to waste."
The man of business held his wrist
with his hand, to steady himself, and
dipped.
"The third day—the third day!
Have I made it plain how ye shall set

for my hearse?"
"Yes," choked the scribe.
"It shall be made such a day that
they will never forget John ICava-

shall tell 'em, Abner, that though my

. 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.

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

with plenty t(

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.
"There's that jug, and another one
is ready when. it's gone, boys. I have
