AERAT1oN OF MILK.

From the E1gin Dairy Report: There
is hardly place In which milk IL used
that will not pay to cool and aerate 1t
at the same time. Such milk brought
to the creamery or cheese factory, II all
the patrons would practice 1t, would
show at once in the increased quality
Of the product and the price. The dih1-
rons who don't believe in any improve
ment II 1t is going to cost something to
set 1t at work. Yet wherever there II q
factory or creamery that has prevailed
on the patrons to practice aeration and
cooling, that institution stands high in
the price received for its product.
Do not be misled by a few cranks who
will tell you that the aeration Of milk is
is of no value; who wiz tell you that
aerated milk will not remain sweet one
whit longer than any other milk. Do
not be misled by these. we say, but try
for yourself. Get good combined
cooler and aerator and use 1t every day
in the year, winter and summer alike.
In buying cooler and aerator don't
make the mistake OF getting one that
airs the milk without cooling it. Don't
make the mistake of getting one that
cools the milk before 1t airs 1t, az aera-
ton to drive out animal and food odors
must be done while the milk 1t hot
from the COW, and before any reduction
in the temperature has been made.
Don't make the mistake Of getting one
with many joints and pipes in contact
with the milk. Don't get one which does
not allow the milk plenty of fall thro'
he air to allow the animal gases to
escape. Don't get one that is bulky and
hard to handle, or one which will soon
'ust out because 1t is impossible to dry
tut the cooling tank or pipes.

pine Grove" was the name of the
church where the people Of the vicin-
ity of Pribble's Crossroads attended
church. and adjoining the church is
the graveyard where they bury their
dead.
One day q new grave was noticed In
the yard by one Doss Cummins as he
rode by. Not having heard of any
death in the community recently he
rode up to the fence to see what was
written on the headstone. Seeing the
name of Washington Shafer on the slab
he was dumbfounded, and hurried to
the crossroads to learn more about the
matter. He and Wash had snapped
horses just two days before. Arriving
at the store he discovered that no one
there had heard anything about Wash
being dead. A messenger was Dispatch
ed to his home down on Lick Run,
where Wash was found grubbing new
ground for tobacco.
In the meantime all of those who
were at the Crossroads when Cummins
arrived had gone home, spreading the
news as they went, and in short time
every one within five miles around had
heard that Wash Shafer was dead and
buried. When old Wash heard of 1t ne
was furious land started for the Cross
roads at once. By the time he arrived
large crowd had congregated. Arriv-
ing at the church yard they found
everything just as Doss Cummins had
described. Fully two wagon loads OF
yellow clay had been hauled and SHOW
eled over the fence during the night,
and then rounded up to look like
newly made grave. Wash was furious,
and forthwith offered $25 and hound
pup for knowledge Of the man who did
it, He swore that he would white the
guilty party into shoestrings and be
thankful for the opportunity. He
warned all hands that he was still
alive, as they would all find out If
any joking was INDUCED in about the
affair. It is needless to say that the
matter was dropped. Whoever perpe-
trated the joke was careful to cover up
every trace, much to the discontinue
of old Wash.

PLENTY OF ROOM FOR SHEEP.
We hear farmers g y there is no mon
ey in sheep. But every one is ready to
tell us that hens ske the most profitable
animals that they can keep. Figures as
well as the experience of all concerned
go to show that, on the average. a
sheep may he kept for no more ex-
pense than single hen. In ancient
times 1t was the sheep that represented
the wealth Of q country or person. Men
were rich according to the number Of
sheep they possessed. But some will
have us believe that now a farmer Is
poor in proportion to the number OF
sheep he II supporting! How does this
go with the ancient and present his
tory Of the flock? In ancient times the
Sleeps foot was synonymous OF wealth
and prosperity. The fleece was golden
40 well as the foot Of its bearer. The
British farmers call the sheep the rent
payer. and their agricultural methods
and systems are based on the keeping
Of the sheep. We envy these people
their big crops. twice or thrice as large
a. ours, but we never think that the
sheep 10 the reason for this. But there.
sheep are kept for the purpose Of en-
riching the land for the growth OF these
big crops. We don't look at things this
way. but we should, and every farmer
should make 1t his business to procure
and keep q flock Of sheep, II for no
other purpose than that Of enriching
his land and doubling or trebling the
product Of his fields.
