THE HANDLING OF MILK.
Its Quick and Thorough Cooling
Specially Considered.

Its Quick and Thorough Cooling
Specially Considered.
The cooler milk is kept the less ac-
tive the bacteria in it will be and the
longer the milk VIII maintain its nor
NAL condition.
Many means may be employed TO
cool milk to the desired temperature.
a very common and generally satisfac-
tory way is that OF setting the strained
milk in large forty quart cans into
trough containing ice water. Then,
again, coolers arr used, through the
inside of which passes current of
cold water or ice water and the milk
runs in a thin layer. over the cold
sides of the apparatus, being cooled
very rapidly. This method is very sat
isfactory for two reasons-qD the milk
is cooled very promptly, and % 1t is
aerated freeing it from the cowy odor
Generally speaking that apparatus
Is most efficient that eools the milk to
the lowest possible temperature in the
shortest possible time. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that low tenn
peratures are not detrimental TO the
life of bacteria, but simply check their
growth. 1t is necessary, therefore, not
only that milk be cooled TO low TEN
perature as soon as possible after 1t
is drawn, but that the low tempera-
ture should be maintained. When
warmed up again, the germ life in it
will resume its activity; hence milk
can be kept unchanged for any rea-
sonable length of time by subjecting
it to and keeping it at low tempera-
ture.
Aerators that are not coolers, If used
in summer, do not improve the milk
bacteriologically, as the temperature of
the atmosphere is not low enough TO
check the development of bacteria. On
the contrary, such aeration prolongs
the time that elapses between the
drawing and cooling of milk and there
fore tends to favor bacterial activity
In winter however, these aerators also
serve as coolers, the milk passing
through the cold air being cooled rap
idly.
The greater the attention paid to
scrupulous cleanliness in handling
milk at all stages, the shorter the time
that elapses between the drawing,
straining and cooling Of milk and the
lower the temperature to which it is
cooled, the greater its freedom from
heterogeneous the longer it will re-
tain its normal condition. the more
profitable its production will be and
the more wholesome will ii be for old
and young.-Otto f. Hunziker.

THE SUGAR BEET.
Useful Items of Experience From the
Michigan station.

Michigan station.
Considering the extra work involved
In the narrowing of the space between
rows of sugar beets, together with the
inconvenience and even impossibility
of cultivating with large farm horses
in narrow rows, it seems as yet wise,
to the Michigan station, to continue
with the rows twenty-one inches apart
at least.
Figures from recent tests show de-
ctdedly In favor of increasing the nj
trOgen content of the sugar beet fer
tilizers Not only is the yield of beets
greater. bue the percentage of sugar
10 higher where an excessive amount
Of nitrate of soda is applied. The
marked difference in yield of sugar
from the home mixed fertilizer over
the commercial fertilizer suggests the
possibility of nitrate nitrogen being SUI
perior to the form of nitrogen found
in the commercial fertilizer.
A fair comparison of nitrate of soda
and sulphate ammonia as a source OF
nitrogen for sugar beets, being the
average result from five different ex-
periments conducted for three years in
succession, shows a yield of over IL
per cent more sugar from the nitrate
than from the ammonia and presents
conclusive evidence of the superiority
OF the former.
A general conclusion in some soil
tests with fertilizers is that stable ma
nure increases the tonnage, but does
not increase the total number of
pounds of sugar in a similar proper
ton.

sILo FITTED FOR STEAM.

at G., and also midway between the
bottom and top at f. The upright pipe
Z + in the silo was covered with cap
at f so as to prevent fodder from fall
ing into the pipe. Ten to fifteen holes
three-eighths Of an inch in diameter
were drilled in the pipe near the cap
at f as outlets for the steam. The ell
bow at G turns directly down and
comes to within about two inches of
the bottom of the silo. This elbow G.
prevents material from getting into the
pipe G III and serves as an easy outlet
for the steam when forcing it into the
silo near the bottom.
The silo was filled with very green,
immature corn, cut three-quarters of an
inch long and packed as tight as posi-
BILE. The contents were then steamed,
first by making connection through p,
then disconnectlng at ID and connecting
at |. Pressure was part of the time
at twenty pounds, and, for the latter
part, forty pounds. The steaming proc
ess lasted from about 7 o'clock one
evening till $3.50 the next morning.
A sterilized cotton plug was tied over
the end of the pipe at |, projecting from
the sllo. The second pipe projecting
from the silo was stopped with an
iron plug screwed In at ID. Just at the
end of the steaming process, and while
the corn fodder was still very hot, both
silos were covered with layers of heavy
building paper and then with several
inches of sterilized cotton.
When the silos were opened in De-
cember, the steamed silage was sweet
and bright, and had undergone very
little change since the green fodder was
put in.

Nitrate OF soda ON Garuen crops.
Field experiments with nitrate of
soda on market garden crops lead the
New Jersey station to the following
suggestions:
First.-That both the yield and quail
ity of vegetable crops are improved
by liberal supply of available nitro
gen.
Second.-That large quantities of nj
trogen 900 to 400 pounds of nitrate
of soda per acre. are, on the whole,
preferable to smaller quantities.
Third.-That where large quantities
of nitrate of soda are used fractional
dressings are likely to result in great
er proportionate use of the nitrogen.
Fourth.-Three dressings proved on
the whole more profitable than two.
When the growth is satisfactory, the
third dressing may be withheld.
