room, but he became tired of being
led around on a rope, and decided to

Tip for Washing
•Milk, separators' require careful at-
ten't<foif;' If they are left unwashed,
enormous numbers, of bacteria grow
lnthe residue in the bowl and other•
parts and are picked up by the cream
at next separating. This is one 'of,.
the chief reasons for ,poor quality -
cream. For best 'results, the separa-
tor must be thoroughly washed and
scalded after each run. If,, for any
reason, this is not done, the keeping
quality of the cream may be improv-
ed by the following treatment: With
the bowl turning at full slieed, pour
a. pailful of hydrochlorite solution in-
to the supply tank. Brush theinside
of the tank with this solution, then
allow it to run through the machine.
This will rinse out and restroy many
bacteria and prevent them contamin-
ating the cream when the milk is
:tin through the machine.
Daylight is Best
"Uu with the sun and to bed with
the sun" might not he such a bad
idea, especially in' places where elec-
tric power is urgently needed Por war
production.
According to authorities on the sub-
ject, daylight is the' best lighting of
all, because it is easiest en the eyes.
Keep the shades up, the heavy
drapes back, and hang all curtains so
they can be pulled back easily to ,let
in light.
Place tables, desks and work bench-
es near windows where they can,.be
lighted from outside.
Thedarker the wall and ceiling fin-
ish; the more -light is required for see-
ing: Lighter colored floors as well, as
light walls and ceilings help the light-
ing situation and ease'. the strain on
eyes.
House Plants
Arrow - Forsyth
and Tooke
Watering and ventilation are two
important factors in the management
of house plants. Watering :s one of
the simplest operations and yet many
plants die as a result of improper
watering. A little water coming
through the drainage hole at the
bottom of the "pot shows that the
..nil is saturated.
Ventilation is as necessary for
plants' as for human beings. Fresh
air should be admitted regularly into
the room containing the plants. If
the day is warm and balmy, the
window containing the -plants' may be
opened. If it is cold or windy, some
other window should be opened, care
being 'taken that no direct current of
air from outside is blowingon the
plants. The 'humidity in the average
home, particularly in winter time, is
to loow for most plants. Unless care
is taken to provide moisture in the
atmosphere, there is little chance of
having healthy, plants. Potted plants
are usually placed in saucers or in•a
plant stand. Generally, the stand has
a tray to prevent the water from
running on the floor. If the tray- or
saucers -are half filled with small
pebbles, the water in the containers
will evaporate and help provide. a
moist. atmosphere for the plants.
These hints and many others will
be found in the circular on "Manage-
ment of House Plants," which may
obtained free by writing to the
Publicity and Extension Division, Do-
minion Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa. •
