surface became ropy to such an ex-
tent that it would adhere to a table
fork, stringing out in ropy mass
The ropiness was found to be due to
the action of a bacillus which was
present In the ropy cream. but the
point at which the milk became in
fected with it was only discovered aft
er considerable investigation. The ex-
animation of the milk of different cows
as 1t was drawn from the udder and
of the dust and dirt of the stable show
ed that the milk was not infected when
taken from the barn. In the case of
one dealer the nights milk was held
overnight in deep cans set in cold wa
ter. and the mornings milk was aerat-
ed and strained in the dairy room. The
brass wire strainer used for straining
all of the milk into the deep setting
cans proved to be in a filthy condition
owing to lack of thorough cleaning
This strainer was found on two differ
ent days to be capable of contaminat-
ing milk with the specific organism
which caused ropiness. Two out of
four deep setting cans examined were
In like condition. In the other case
an examination of the milk as drawn
from the different COWS failed to show
any ropiness, and the contamination
was traced to the cans used for holding
the milk overnight or during delivery.
The strainer in this case could not be
charged with the contamination.
The indications were that In both of
the above cases more thorough scald-
ing OF the utensils would bring relief,
and 1t was suggested that the smaller
utensils be totally immersed in boiling
water for three minutes and the larger
cans be filed to the brim with boiling
water for a like time This suggestion
was adopted. and Immediately the trou-
BILE disappeared.
Owing TO the unusual ability of the
bacillus causing ropy milk to grow at
low temperature keeping milk sub
merged In Ice water or In a refrigerator
would not prevent the ropiness and
might even cause this particular baciI-
lus to predominant In the milk over
other forms Incapable of growing at
the low temperature.
1t was impossible TO determine the
original source of infection of the cans
but from the work of others 1t is be-
heved that 1t may have been water
used for washing the utensils or in
which the cows had waded. Bacteria
may readily be transferred from run
ming water to milk by the agency of
mud. which. drying upon the udder.
may be dislodged during milking. Milk
utensils which have been used for CON
tanning water should be scalded before
using again for milk. The apparent
purity OF water used about a creamery
gives no assurance that 1t is free from
bacteria"
Another important point which was
brought out was the injustice which
may be done TO innocent dealers by the
failure Of consumers TO thoroughly
cleanse their milk pals or pitchers.
Consumers who had been annoyed by
the milk becoming ropy frequently
transferred their patronage TO another
dealer. often without remedying the
difficulty. because their own utensils
were not thoroughly scalded. The In
lection was continued through their
own milk vessels and gave rise to the
belief that tie trouble was more wide
spread among diaries than was the
case.

NIGHT BLOOMING cEREUs.

There is a flower that blooms by night,
When all the land is still,
When only nightingales are heard
And dews their wine distill.
1t Ioveth not the glare OF day,
The noise OF busy noon.
Alone revealing its pure heart
Unto the lady moon.
When other blossoms lie at rest,
1t watches like saint,
And all night long it wearies not
Until the shadows faint.
Let others call II what they may.
Hopes star it is to me.
That only when the morning comes
From its sweet task is free.
Let other flowers win the praise
OF laughter. mirth and song.
My blossom lights the thorny path
OF grief's unhappy throng.
And when ] find it fast asleep.
While suns are shining bright.
] know twill waken when ] dream
And guide me through the night,

After a fun consideration Of the sub
ject Of a pure milk supply at the an
nuai meeting of the New Jersey state
board Of agriculture report was
adopted emphasizing the Importance of
not allowing any person affected with
a contagious disease TO have anything
to do with dairy work. Among the
diseases to be specially guarded against
Is tuberculosis. which may be commu-
nIcated to animals from filthy sur
roundings or from diseased caretakers.
This may be regarded as very prac-
teal forward step in prevention.

The great Importance of thoroughly
scalding or otherwise sterilizing all
the utensils used in handling and de-

vestigation of two outbreaks of ropy
milk and cream handled by two differ

Cornell station, says E. w. Allen in a
bulletin recently issued by the agricul-
turaI department. The matter became
so serious that the dealers were losing
their customers and appealed to the
station for aid. No complaints were
made when the milk was used imme-
diately, but when allowed to stand
