The ordinary system of hanging the barnees in the stable behind the horses, or on the stall posts, is convenient, and while it gives reasonable sattsfaction, it Is better to have a dry and well -ventilat- ed compartment outside the ste.ble prone' 'er, or even a closet in the stabla protects the harness from the moisture and the ge.ses that form, especially in, poorly ventilated stables. Both the. leather and the mountings continue to. look better and will last longer under, these conditions.

' THE CARE OF CREAM, Quality is what primarily figs the price of butter In a, mereet. flood but- ter, ouch as commands the top pricers, Is governed only by good cream, and the quality of the cream is largely the re - ;suit of the care telt cream receives on tho farm. Practically .sweet cream is uaed fox. the finest grades of creamery butter. Butter lacks In keeping quality when made from etale, sour and over- ripe cream, and besides it is usually of a weak body and texture. Butter of a high color, well salted, and ot quiets, high acid flavor, nt One time Wahl the standard, but that has been changed for the reason that such butter tlacks serlotisly in keeping quality, and when held iu storage doe) not turn out satisfactorily. To -day the ciemand is for a mild, clean -flavored, lightly -salted, low -acid butter, the product from sweet cream. Siich butter le of excellent Iteeri- ing quality. Sweet cream that is pas- turized to a high temperature and °burns ed without souring, produces a butter that Is capable of retaining Its mild, clean flavor almost indefinitely, when held at the right .storage temperature. PRODUCING GREAat OF FIRST The fundamental principles for pro, clueing a first -grade cream, are cleanne nese of the cow and her surroundings, eleen milking, cleanlinese of cream sap- arator,..promptness of cooling and free fluency ..-of delivery. The cendition of the barn and yard where cows are itept and the milis.ing done, exerts a decided influence on the Quality of. tbe cream produced. The walls and the ceilings of the cow stable *should be as free from dirt, dust and colneele* as possible. The stable should be .provided with plenty of controllable Ventilation. The cows should be both ecorifoetable and contented at ail times. The 'milker's personal habits largely determine the cleanliness of the prod- uct. He shotild be per:zonally clean, have cleanly habits, and enjoy perfect health. Rapt(' aoolipg Is possible only by set- ting the cream cans in water. Air is a -poor conductor of heat, and the ex- posure of the cans filled with cow -warm cream to cool air alone, fails to cool it promptly. Water -*conducts heat over 21 times as fast as air; the cream set- ting in water therefore cools many times more rapidly than cream standing in. 0001 air. e Warm cream should never be mixed with cold cream or that which Jo older, glees thia tends to bring about condi- tions favorable to the growth of bac- teria, evhich produces bad flavors. This tan be ea:illy avoided by providing a Mall can en addition to the larger one gor atorage. This should be used to res ceive the warm creern direct from, the separator, and be immersed in the cool - lug Water until the next milking, when it may be safely transferred to the main supply sand efficiently mixed by vigor- ous stirring. When properly cooled and frequently stirred, the cream remains in proper Mechanical condition, so that it can be readily transferred without excessive loss due to cream sticking to the can. CREAM A PERISHA.BLE PRODUCT. Cream is a very perisnable product. Like other similar products, it is at itg best when fresh, and, should, therefore, he marketed AMU -lout delay. Age will cause deterioration of cream under any Condition, and while proper care tends to retard such deterioration, it cannot prevent it entirely. for this reason de- livery - should be as frequent as possible' e -certainly not leas often than three tapes per Week in summer and twice per -Week in winter. Cream should be kept In the cooling tank ,untti it leaves the term. Washing dairy utensils is a very im- portant tnetter. Tinware of agood quality only should be used. .A.fter us- ing, they should be rinsed first with cold Or lukewarm water to remove all parti- cles Of milk. Hot water at this stage tends to cook the milk fast to. the tin, 'Ilkdonning a sticky layer over the surface, which Is very difficult to remove. They should then be thoroughly crubbed with a good fibre brush in -warm water, to which a small quantity of good -washing powder has been added. The washing should be followed by a thorough acald- ing with water as tear the boiling paint as possible, or with live steam, after rt0 sAFETY0 ttAZ x / 51 err Mechanical Perfection There are Many reasons why the AutoStrop is the ideal aviator's rater. bueone stands out More prominently than the othere end will instattly tomeal to every 'Knight of the Air", that is, its Mechanical perfection.
