Keeping Milk Sweet.

The Agricultural College of Kansas,
in its advice to milk producers, says
THE souring Of milk is caused by the
growth of bacteria in ii The fewer
the bacteria in the milk, and the slow
err they grow, the longer will the milk
keep. If cleanliness be observed. the
number of bacteria in new milk will
be few. Bacteria double in numbers
in new milk every twenty minutes
when it is at blood heat. They grow
slowly at so degrees and not at all
at 80 degrees. The sooner the milk
is cooled after being drawn from the
cow the longer 1t will keep. The usual
way to handle milk Is to set the cans
containing 1t In trough of cold
water and stir occasionally until the
milk becomes cool. 1t may be an hour
or two before the milk in the center
Of the can becomes thoroughly cooled,
and all this time the milk-souring bac-
terra are developing rapidly. 1t will
pay any Kansas farmer to use cooler.
In these machines cold water flows
through the interior while the milk
flows over the outside in drops, each
drop being quickly and thoroughly
cooled. The saving in labor over the
usual method OF stirring will soon pay
for the cooler, while the quality of the
milk is made much better.
We found in hot weather that the
temperature Of our milk rose 10 de-
grees while on the road to the cream
cry, and that some farmers were de-
livering milk as high as 81 degrees
Milk should be kept as cool as possible
while on the road and ought not to be
above 20 degrees when delivered at the
creamery. If 1t is. the quality OF the
butter from 1t will be injured and the
creameryman will have to pay a lower
price for butter fat.

Sir Reginald had never forbidden my
visits-he was too wise a man to tempt
fate in such a manner; he had merely
taken care that / had no chance of
solitary speech with my dear lady.

Blewett, who filled, as best she might,
the place of the dead lady of the man

favored not my suit, so 1 sought not
TO have speech with her or with my
lady. Old Simeon L had been friends

played in the gardens with sweet Mis-

friend and would help me. knew also
that he might speak with his lady
when l might not unmatched and I'M

story, and trusted him for his aid.
And there was the chink of gold
between us when we parted, albeit my
lack OF gold was the reason why Sir
Reginald had said me nay. upon my
asking for his daughters hand. And
for gold-next to his love for pretty
Mistress Marget-old Simeon would do
more than most of us would do for the
sake of life.
That evening l happened to be
walking in the lane just as old Simeon
also came out to take the air. And a
note passed between us. Old Simeon
also instructed me as to where I could
find certain implements and tools-a
ladder and stout stave among them
which l might need later on, per-
chance. And I gave to Simeon the
package Of certain drug, which my
friend, the chirugeon, had given me.
Mistress Marget was to see that this
drug was dropped into the fiagon of
ale sent up sor the Lady Eleanor's
supper. Then. later, she was to lean

In the heat of summer and while

plains that cold storage eggs are sold
for fresh laid eggs, and says laws

the laws would be all right IL they

that vice Is so universal that every
legal weapon aimed against it will fall
short. The only method of checking
this practice is to properly instruct
the buyer as to his own interests.
Some object to the principle OF cold
storage establishments because they
say it reduces the price of eggs at the
time when they should be high, that
is, in the winter The argument is
without force. IL the cold storage of
eggs causes a lower price for winter
produced eggs, it also causes higher
price for eggs produced in the summer
time. However, as by cold storage
many eggs are saved for use that
would otherwise rot, there is little
doubt that the price is somewhat af-
fected. On the other hand, the increas
ing certainty that when one buys eggs
he will get good ones, causes larger
number to be consumed. When our
systems of keeping ard handling eggs
become SO perfect that no eggs spoil
eggs will have become an even more
popular article Of diet than at the pres
ent time.

Climate and Crop Service

Summary for week ending June 4.
First half of the week was very warm
and the latter part cooler than usual.
The mean temperature for the week was
from 90 to 40 above normal. The rain.
fall for the week was quite unequally
distributed. The greatest amount re-
ported was 5.3l inches in the northern
part of Cherokee county; and numerous
localities were visited by heavy down
pours, causing some local damage by
washing and flooding; except in few
places the showers brought ample re-
lief from the drouthy conditions rreva-
lent in nnrfi.,ns of the northern section.
. Reports 1dicate that the nay crop
mas been materially cut shortaf av-
erage in some portions of the mortimer.
districts. The recent rains will greatly
help pastures, but came too late to re
store the meadows to their normal con.
dition. But in the larger part of thu
southern and central districts the hay
crop ranges from good to extra heavy
the main drawback being the partia
loss of the clover stand. In the south
elm section clover cutting will be in pro
gress within few days.
Nearly all reports show very satisfac
tory progress in cultivating com, ant
the general condition of the crop is ap
parently above the average of the pas
ten years.
Oats show a tendency to become too
rank in all sections where the moistur.
has been excessive. Pastures are gen
orally excellent. Garden truck is max
ing rapid growth.

decoration Day.

The weather last Wednesday was very
threatening and kept a great many peo-
pie from attending the Memorial Day
exercises which were conducted under
the auspices of the Il. A. Il. Post and
w. X. o.
AT 2 O'Clock the old veterans and a
few of the, .Spamsh-American soldiers
formed at the IT, A. II. hall and march
ed to the court house park where the
exercises were held. Commander A. j.
Allen was in charge of the exercises, and
Adjutant j. HI. Evans read Lincoln's
address at Gettysburg. A splendid
choir sang. a number of appropriate
songs. Miss Louise Waight, the charm.
ing little elocutionist, delivered splen.
did Grafton, "Memorial Day" in her
usual entertaining style which was
greatly enjoyed by the audience.
Judge j. w. Harvey was the orator of
the day, and was listened to very at
tentively for about an hour. In his
address Judge Harvey read some in
teresting statistics as to the inroads in
to the ranks of the gallant old veterans
each year, and at the present rate be-
70. e many years the last of the boys in
blue who went to the front in the six
ties will all be gone. The address was
an excellent one.
At the conclusion of the exercises at
the park the line of march was taken up
to the cemetery where the graves of the
departed soldiers were strewn with
flowers. The w. K. G. performed like
service at the graves Of the soldiers
widows.
Since last Decoration Dav two more
of Leon's old veterans have responded
to the last roll call, John w. Stanley, of
Co. q, 9Th Kansas Cav. who is buried at
Palestine, and Norris Lorey, of Co. B,
9TH Kansas Cav. who sleeps in the
beautiful Leon cemetery.
