fact the same trough is available for
both localities, as it is readily placed in
position. This will be found more
practicable than watering stock from
a pail, as many farmers have done for

sterIIIzing aIlk By EIectrsoItx.

A method of sterilizing milk by the
aid of an electric current has been de-
vised by two Dutch inventors Many
proposals have been brought forward
recently for sterilizing water in this
way, but milk has proved q much moro
difficult fluid, because of the large
amount of pzbulum for micro-organ-
isms which it contains The milk to
be sterilized is submitted to the action
OF . strong alternating current. which
Is applied to it in the ordinary dairy
