The Operation Must Begin Before Cream

If the dairy utensils are not kept
strictly clean at all times, the decom.
posing Accommodations of the remaining
particles in corners continue to ferment
and to throw eff offensive disease
germs to contaminate the pure healthy
milk or cream, and good pure butter is
impossible. In reference to cleaning
box churn an exchange says: 1t is
one of the easiest to keep clean that
can be imagined, provided only that
the proper methods are used. 1t would
seem that similar conditions obtain
with the barrel churn. The great diff
tculty is that users are either over par
ticular or actually negligent The
matter of kecpin,. one of these churns
clean should commence before the
cream is put into it. If the churn is
first scaldeG with hot water and then
rinsed with cold water, the cream will

The time is near for beginning hot
bod work, and as the frame" must
first be prepared it may be as well per-
haps to explain how it Is made. Com
mon boards and sash will answer all
purposes, Anyone with square, saw

self. The frame may be from one to
four sash in length, the latter being
about what can be made from l4-foot
boards The most suitable width TO
use without waste is 10 inches; allow
two for the back of the frame making
it 30 inches high, and one for the front,
IL inches, which gives sufficient pitch
to the roof to shed rain and collect the
rays of the sun.
Purchase the sash ready-made from
the manufacturers, having it 6 feet
long, 8 feet wide and ~ inches thick.
To make four-sash frame then, we
will want four 10-inch boards IA feet
| long, one of which must be cut in two
equal parts to form the end pieces.
| Besides this, to secure strong frame
| il is better to have at each corner n
piece of 2 by scantling, to which the
boards are nailel. Let the end boards
project inches above the side pieces
to hold the sash in place. Then fasten
| IA strip 3 inches wide and l inch thick
to each side and to the upper end on a
level with the top and bottom boards
This forms slide upon which the sash

ers, who sometimes use many of this
kind of frames, lay them end to end
and so have rows one after another
covering tneic entire hot-bed ground.
For example: They dig trench about
2 feet deep, 6 feet wide aud as long as
ne:ded. In this pit or trench is placed
manure, piling a foot or so above
the surface to allow for settling. Over
this the frames are placed. The first
row is then complete. When needed
another row is made in the same way
and SO on as time and wants demand
Wien the hot-beds are of no further
use, the sash and frames are put un.

comprising nearly the same result is
by constructing what are called pits
These are made by taking out the
soil to "a certain depth and walling NJ
the sides with boards or bricks. Or

An Indian Bear story.

Along Grisley Bear river, in the Rock
les, there are many bear haunts or
wintering dens which the Indian guides
point out to travellers. According to In
dian stories bear will lie in dark and
secluded retreat all winter without food
or Iourishment sucking its paws. The
bear does not burrow in the ground,
but covers himself with fallen leaves
Over the den the snow is often many
feet deep, and the bears hiding place is
only discovered by an air hole so small
that nothing but the keen eye of saw
age ccud find it. The Indians say that
the Rocky mountain bears lie thus in a
torpid state from December until March

AN II.LINoIs ROAD OF TODAY.

is safe to say, however, that renew II
of the offer to-day would produce
scores of applications
The demand for good roads is not a
craze. Illinois leads the western stat es
in population, prosperity and general
intelligence. 1t should lead the west
in the establishment of an improved
system of highways. To accomplish
this most desirable end, the people
must be taught that money spent for
good roads is a permanent invest
ment returning usurious interest.
The Iowa Road improvement associa-
tion recognizes this fact, and at it's re-
cent session at Des Moines adopted a
resolution favoring such changes in
the revenue laws as would provide for
the levy of general county tax upon
all property located in cities, towns and
country, to be devoted to the improve
ment of highways. The Iowa PROPOSE
ton is fair, equitable and timely, and
worthy of thoughtful investigation by
state lawmakers everywhere.-G. w.

POISONOUS MILK.

Why 1t Is Dangerous to Treat Dairy
Cows with Brutality.
Cows which are brutaliy treated, or
MIXED when in state of excitement,
will give milk so changed and
poisoned as 10 produce fearful conSe-
quences. We'll authenticated instances
are related where children have been
broken down in health through being
fed from milk taken from animals who
were badly abused. One case in par
ticu ar is given where child, originally
healthy, after being fed upon the milk
from certain COW, whose calf was
Just previously taken from her, became
broken out with rash, which was
followed by fever that seriously
affected the brain and nerves. The
bowels became irritated and were
alternately constipated and relaxed.
1t was discovered that the COW had to
be whipped in close stall before she
would yield and allow herself to be
MIXED. Not only did this affect
the milk at the time, but the
COW had become diseased by such
constant irritation of her nerves,
so that the milk was more or
less poisoned after she had yielded
to her brutal tormcntors. Gentle,
kind treatment is an absolute necessity
then, not only for the sake of the
health of the COW, which affects the
quantity and quality of the milk and
butter produced, but also for the con-
sequence upon the human beings who
use them. There is no doubt but That

She churned two gallons Of milk in

richest buttermilk ever saw. Next day
| churned more slowly and was rewarded
