CARE OF MILK AND MILK UTENSILS.
All dairy utensils should be made of
tin. 1t is a good plan TO have milk
pans and pals made TO order. Use the
tin and have all the joints made round.
After use they should first be washed
in cold water and soap and then scald-
ed, using plenty of hot. water, wiped
perfectly dry and placed where the sun
shine will get into them. It is great
mistake to pour hot water into milk
pans and pals, for it will cosgulate the
milk in the seams and corners and if
by accident the curd is not all washed
out it will sour and effect the next
milk put in. Borax is a great purifier.
If littlei is added to the hot water
that the utensils are rinsed in, it will
cleanse and purify them. Use enough
to make the water feel slightly slip
perry. Dairy utensils should never be
used for other articles of food.

HELPING CHICKS OUT OF THE SHELL.
A lady who always succeeds with her
poultry says she frequently saves the
life of chicks that have not strength to
pip their she'll, by breaking it and
Matching them herself. She waits un-
til the hen is about ready to leave the
nest, then carefully tests the eggs that
are left. If she finds one containing q
full grown chick, she gently and persis-
tently taps about the large end of eg g
until she locates the bill, by its more
hollow sound. At this point she care
fully breaks the shell and il the chick
is living gradually releases it. She
claims to have saved many chicks in
this way. When 1 have ATTEMPTED her
method, writes Plarissa Potter, |
sometimes have found living chick,
but falling to break the shell at just
the right point it soon bleeds to death.
