KEEPING MILK PURE.
the Fluid from the stable as
Quickly as Possible.

We have no conception as to how
long time it will require for science
and experiment to destroy the foolish
belief that warm milk will not absorb
odors. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that such an opinion exists, for it is
the cause of the contamination of large
quantities of milk. As the result of
some experiments, conducted by the
writer, it was demonstrated that warm
milk was even more susceptible to the
absorption of odors than cold milk
was. The samples of warm milk that
were used were more fully charged
with the odor of manure than the SAM
Piles of cold milk were, and all the sam
pies were exposed under precisely the
same conditions. In other experiments,
conducted at one of our experiment
stations, it was observed that fresh
COW urine tainted the warm milk much
more quickly, and to higher degree.
than it did milk that was in cold
condition.
1t would appear that enough has
been done on this line TO put dairy
men on their guard and to convince
all that instead of warm milk throwing
off odors, it absorbs them. At all events,
we have the right to expect that the
dairyman will endeavor to avoid dan
ger, and remove the milk from the
stable at once. 1t is not much trouble
to do this; and it should not be forgot
ten that even in the very cleanest
stables there are odors that will not
help the flavor of milk. 1t is absolutely
impossible to keep stable clean
enough to prevent some odors, and
that would be true If the milking were
done in the parlor, for the COW herself
is the source of odor, more or less dis
tinct, and is liable at any time to ere
ate very destructive odors. Keep on
the safe side, and remove the milk

The weight Of Fresh MIX.

1t is generally estimated that a
quart of milk weighs two pounds. But
this is only approximate. Getting
down to scientific basis we find that
it is safe to figure quart at 2.15
pounds. One so-called authority re-
duces it to finer basis than this, and
figures a cubic foot of milk at 64h
pounds. A cubic foot will make 7.405
gallons, and, taking this as basis,
we have the weight of one gallon as
1924, and carrying out the division
we have the weight of quart, 2.156
pounds. But milk rich in cream
would weigh less than milk contain.
ing little cream, for the reason that
the cream is lighter than the other
elements in the milk.-Farmer Re-

THE SERVANT GIRL IS HUMAN.
And should he Treated with ms Much
Consideration ms Other
MOrtals.

"In looking after your servant do not
overlook the fact that she is woman,
and very human, with all the likes and
dislikes, the love of pleasure, rest and
recreation possessed by other human
beings" writes Mrs. S. Z. Rorer in La.
dies Home Journal. "l'f she has not
had the advantage of education and
knows but little of the world remem-
Der that she is so much the more to be
pitied. Women, as class, from lack
of proper training, are not business
like. The housewife retains the respon-
sibility of all the detail work rather
than give il over to her servant; hence
the lack of interest and responsibility
on the part of the average maid. II
the housewife would but allow her
servant to become responsible forsthe
great bulk of the detail work much
confusion would be avoided. Persons
become responsible only by having re-
sponsibility placed upon Them, and
servants, as a rule, feel the Importance
of their work according to the trust
which is reposed in them and the re-
sponsibility which is placed on them

GOOD ROADS pLANKS.
RerablIcans and Democrats VIII ne
Asked 10 Insert Them in Their
National Platforms.

Wheelmen, through their national
organization, the League of American
Wheelmen, are to be factors in the ma
tional republican and democratic con-
ventions. The officers of the organiza-
ton have decided to use every means
to secure the adoption of good roads
plank in both platforms, and they are
sanguine of success.
The work of securing the planks has
been entrusted to the highway inn
provement committee, of which II. II.
Fullerton, of Brooklyn, is chairman.
This committee has among its menu
bers the most experienced good roads
workers in the country. They are men
of influence and will have no trouble
in securing an audience with the party
leaders.
The decision of the L. A. w. in this
undertaking is directly in line with its
policy to nationalize the good roads
movement. Previous to the beginning
of this year the work of the league has
been confined to municipal, county and
state agitation. The dignity Of ma
tional movement was reached with
the introduction of the bill in con-
gress, by Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl-
vania, in behalf of the L. A. w., asking
for an appropriation Of $5,000,000 for
highway improvement. The insertion
of the planks in the party platforms
will further dignity the good roads
movement as being of national impor-
tance.
The League OF American Wheelmen
contends, and justly it seems, that
there are very few matters of more
vital importance to the entire coun-
try than the one of good roads. When
a government official, instructed to in.
vestigate the economical side of the
question, reports there is an annual
loss of $500, 100000 to the country be.
cause of bad roads, IL certainly APP
pears the matter is worthy of the Sc
rious attention of the political parties
and congress"
The l.. A. w. has been very success
full in .persuading agriculturists of the
economy of improved highways. and
there are some OF the strongest farm
ers' organizations in the country now
working in sympathy with the wheel
men. These will be asked to lend their
aid to the request for the platforms
and will be potent factors in the re
suits.
In past undertakings the L. A. w
has accomplished many difficult tasks
in behalf of wheelmen, and il will in
this case, if necessary, show its full
strength; but it is not believed this
will be necessary in proposition O.

HOW TO GRADE ROADS.
Which He Thinks Is Sure
to Work Well.

There are many different methods
of road grading and laying of drains,
but will give my way of doing the
work when was supervisor: / first
took as many miles as | thought 1
could handle, started in the center of
the road and plowed through the en-
tire length l wished to grade. /
plowed strip, say of one rod, on each
side of the center, and had men
enough following the pillow so as to
lay down all sods that might stand on
end When the blowing was done
used the disc harrow or pulverizer,
following it with lever drag, then
let it lay until the following year,
when / would take the road grader
and commence where ! left off, plow-
ing and working the loose dirt into
the center of the road so as to have
the center higher than the outside.
had the grader started deep enough
so as to work smooth, not taking
more dirt than could be handled in
good shape. / repeated this until l
had the grade as high as desired. As
a rule the sides were about IS inches
lower than the center and by having
the grader dig about eight inches Of
dirt on the sides this is obtained.
Most supervisors want to do more
work than they can finish. If my
plan is followed smooth roads all the
time will be the result. BY grading
the road this way there will be good
drain on either side of the wheel
track and one road or track on either
side of the drain,-Cor. Prairie

Some Methods Of Spraying

A fine, light mist is the best form Of
spray for the cooling moth and eating
insects where it is desirable TO cover
the foliage as completely as possible
with the poison, When every part Of
the plant is completely wet with these
fine drops better application of the
poison will be given than if the spray
ing is continued until the water runs
off the leaves. As soon as the drops
begin to run together and off the leaves
they carry off the poison and less is
left on than if the spraying had been
stopped sooner. For scale and soft
bodied insects, particularly the for
mer, strong, driving spray that has
considerable force is wanted. For
scale the harder the stream and the
more freely the material is used the
more likelihood of good job.--Farm
