Cleanliness In pnstcurization.

In conversation with a represen-
tative of the Farmers Review II. B.
Gurler said that he had got beyond
Pasteurizatton-he had reached the
point where he could produce milk so
clean that 1t does not need pasteuriza-
ton. That Mr.. Gurler Is doing this Is
quite evident from the fact that he has
a large trade in Chicago that pays IL
cents n quart for his milk, while other
milk is selling at s and cents per
quart. Pasteurization OF milk is bound
to be a very important factor in the
handling of milk for the reason that
few men will give the attention to the
matter that is necessary II absolutely
clean milk is to be produced. Cleanli-
ness is preferable to pasteurization,
but unfortunately 1t is much more diff
flcult to produce milk that is absolute
ly clean than 1t is to pasteurize.

In some sections the roots of the trees

now may grow TO maturity and fail
with old age and be succeeded by an-
other orchard that will likewise dis
appear from old age before we have
another winter with conditions iden-
