Rop1NEss OF MILK.
Which Can BE Destroyed Only
by Sterilization.

Although milk can turn ropy under
temperature falling close to frost
line, yet warm weather favors it's fire.
quency. Ii is useless to blame it upon
the COW as so many do. The ropiness
of milk is caused by specific bacillus
i'll the milk or cream, which bacillus
is brought out of streams and
reaches the milk first by either wash
ing the milk vessels in the water, or
the mud adhering to the COW, and
the m,llsnan letting it get into the
milk. The bacillus once started
strongly, will cling to the milk ves-
sells, the cream pitcher or bottle in
definitely, unless they are thoroughly
cleanssd each time after using. And
the only right way to do this when
the milk gets ropy is to submerge
them all each time for not less than
five minutes, in boiling water. Look
especially to the strainer; half the
time it is responsible for the ropy
condition of the milk. Do not blame
the m.lkman and ruin his trade with
your complaints until first you are
sure the lack of cleanliness, in this
respect, does not lie with your own
neglect in not scalding out as it
should be, the receptacle you keep
the milk in after he brings it to you.
Milk never ropes until it has stood
FOR several hours, long enough to
give the bacilli time to get in their
work.
Unless we know exactly what and
where the milk comes from, as to the
health of the cows, and carefulncss
of the dairyman, it is just as well to
pasteurize the milk ourselves. This
is done by putting the vessel contain
ing it into one containing water
brought to and kept at tempera-
t,,re of 155 degrees, for from 10 to
20 minutes, stirring the milk often
to distribute the heat evenly through
it. This temperature kills practical
ly about all the dangerous substances
in il, and when cooled still leaves it
with the fresh milk flavor. Running
the heat higher, will give it the
cooked favor, and Injuries its digesti-
bility. To keep milk fresh for days,
put it into bottles, the bottles into a
saucepan of cold water, gradually
briag to boil, instantly cork, put
back into the water and bring to a
boil again, allowing it to boil for a
minute or two, let gradually cool in
the same water, fasten the corks in
SO that no air possibly can touch the

PLAN FOR DAIRY BARN.
New System of Constructions, Which
Introduces Several Ideas OF
Real Value.

The drawing will show some points
concerning dairy barn construction
that bring out several ideas of value.
First, compactness within reasonable
limits; cows and horses near each
other, providing for easy and cheap
handling of manures; warm room for
horses where they can be cared for
quickly by the mixers. If the builder
desired he could continue the parti-
ton A A through to the wall to point
d, and have horse stable shut off from
the cows. l would not do it, nor would
1 build the partition A a more than
three feet high. thus permitting free
circulation of air. Horse stalls are
five feet wide. The box stalls adjacent
to horse stalls. are reached through the
passage, and may be entirely cut off
from the stable proper, or may be
Joined by a wire partition above the
managers. A carriage barn is afforded
upon the same floor, or may be used for
tools. Hay and straw for horses will
come down through the chutes from
above to each animal, G c represents

granary can be very handily located
above these boxes or chutes as one,
room in either place or two separate
rooms, one for horse feed and the,
other for cows. The drive above will
accommodate unloading.
One straight drive affords easy
means of hauling manure. l can see
only waste of time and fertilizer in
putting in a truck for carrying ma
nure, unless it is barn already built,
into which team cannot easily enter.
A car and track means dumping ma
nure near the buildings. We have
some barns not yet otherwise ar
ranged, but ! am against the practice
and shall continue to condemn it.
1t will be observed that have placed
the box stalls or hospitals for cows at
the opposite end from the horses and
horse box stalls for two purposes; to
secure plenty of sunlight, and to
equalize the space, so that animals
would not be close together in one end
or portion, and open spaces where ami
mails do not stand in another portion.
This will always necessarily take place
to some extent. Every effort should
be put forth to avoid it. We must
fight against condensation of mois-
ture, and that always takes place
where animals do not stand, simply be-
cause a lower temperature follows.
This barn, with the dimensions given
will hold about so animals, supply
ing an average of 600 cubic feet air per
head, with an S1I to 9-foot ceiling.
The reader may query why a silo
should be located in one corner. 1t is
convenient, is it not? These round st-
los can add to the architectural app
pearance of building if desired, and
here is an opportunity to do it, put on
a finished conical roof and you will
have something that will attract the

The regents, at first astounded, re-
covered sufficiently to answer that
such a course was unconstitutional
and that the demand could not be COM
piled with. In reply, the king gave the
sign, and his soldiers placed the OBJ
durate officials under arrest.
Another instance in support of the
fact that Alexander usually ends by
having his own way is found in his
marriage of Nine. Draga Maschin, the
present queen. She was the daughter
of magistrate, the widow of a former
surgeon in the army and had been a
lady in waiting to Alexander's mother.
When the kings intention was made
public it caused at once a stir through
out Servia. The kings ministers re-
signed, his mother (ex-Queen Natalie)
cast off the woman, with whom she had
been upon terms of intimacy, and Alex
ander's father, who was then in
Vienna, endeavored to prevent the
union. Alexander placed Gordon of
troops along the frontier to prevent
his fathers interference and the ex-
king resigned his position ascommand-
er in chief of the army, leaving his

Queer Case of Poisoning

We recently heard of a case where
a farmer had several COWS made sick
by eating beet pulp. On killing the
animals their stomachs were found
in very bad shape and nearly pune,
tured. He could give no reason for
it, but charged it to the eating OF
sugar beet pulp. We doubt if this
was the cause. Not long ago one OF
the stations in the west investigated
similar trouble and found it due
to the presence of lead dust. The
lead dust had become mixed with the
beet pulp by the pulp being trans.
ported in cars in which lead ore had
been hauled. This is a factor that
must be looked out for, as the rail.

son to his own devices. Deserted by
all his fathers friends Alexander was
forced to seek new friends from among
the radicals. BY doing this he won the
immediate favor of the czar OF Russia,
who sanctioned the marriage.
Why AleXander's mother should have
SO bitterly opposed her sons marriage
with this civilian lady does not appear
when we consider that her own lineage
was not strong enough to have made
it seem probable that she would ever
occupy a throne. AS the story bears
directly upon AleXander's life as o
youth, it may be appropriate here.
Queen Natalie was the daughter of a
Russian officer and the Princess Pulcll-
erie Stourdza, and she became at the
age of 16 the wife of Milan, when the
ored of his wife and she became pop.
ular favorite in Servia because of her
great beauty. But soon after the
birth of her son, the husbands affec-
ton began to wanc. AS soon as she
was assured of his infidelity she seemed
to lose all interest in domestic matters
and assumed position in politics.
Finding her counsels Of no avail she
took to opposing her husband in every
matter until the quarrel became ma
tional topic. At this point King Milan
found it necessary to turn his atten-
ton to the Bulgarians, who were en-.
deavoring to annex eastern Roumelia !,

Immediately engaged in war with Bull
garia, but, being disastrously defeated
he telegraphed to Queen Natalie, who
is said to have been at that moment

on or near the field of battle, declaring
his intention to abdicate the throne.

The news of this determine
ton has caused no little excitement in
Servia and comment in Europe. In ex-
PLANTATION, it may be said that the king
of Servia is at his wits end to save his
family from oblivion. He himself is
the last apparent descendant of the
Obrenovitch dynasty. His wife, Queen
Draga, will never present him with a
son. The quarrel which ensued be-
tween them arising from this and
kindred facts is too recent and too dis
gushing to need mention here. The
facts remain that there is no heir to
the Servian throne. The powerful Kar-
ageorgevitch family has pretender
who but awaits suitable opportunity
to grasp the scepter. All of these con-
ditions present situation which is
not only a great blow to King Alex
ander's pride, but it is considered that
SO long as they exist the kings life is
never safe. The attempt in 1898 upon
the life of ex-King Milan, who abdi-
Gated the throne in favor of his son,
the present king, is thought to have
been instigated by the sympathizers of
the Karageorgevitch pretender.
Whether the Servians will ultimately
permit the king to carry out his novel
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-09-19

scheme Of adopting an heir or will al
low the pretenders to seize the throne
is an outcome that will be awaited with
great interest. King Alexander's ar
gument in favor of his plan was out
lined by him at a recent reception at
Belgrade, when he said: "The Obren-
ovitch dynasty sprang from among the
people. Why should not a child of the
people be my heir?" ellis own ances-
tors had been swim eherds and the
family had been elevated by the will
of the people at the time of the over
throw of Turkish rule and the estab-
lishment of an independent empire.)
This bit of subtle f1attery, or recogni-
ton that government rests primarily
with the people, King Alexander evil
IDENTIFY deems sufficient to override any
objection the people may have to the
establishment of so arbitrary prece-
dent.
And then, perhaps, the resourceful-
ness and obstinacy of King Alexander
when it comes to overriding estab-
lished methods may serve him in good
stead now. One has but to recall the
incidents of his life since he was made
king, at the age of 10, to know that he
is by no means hampered by conven-
tionalities.
At the time of the abdicatjon of the
throne by his father and his succession
i'll 1889 regency composed of three
men was appointed with power to act
until the king should come of age, at
! 18 years. One of these regents died

other two. Unfortunately these men

Public Indignation was at its height,
when Alexander, not yet of age, in

to a banquet in celebration of certain
honors he had earned as a student at
school. While the festivities were in

Dax Of the MILK Cow

Butter will be butter unless all

The dairyman has been envious of his
beef-making neighbour, but the tide
is now turning in the direction of the
milk COW. 1t could not be otherwise.
Some weeks ago we drew attention
to the fact that the fall contract
price for milk afforded to makers no
margin of profit and that prices must
be advanced to city consumers of
both milk and butter. That advance
has come and seems still to come.
Joined with the shortage of grain
and forage is the unfortunate cold.

pastures of last summer have added
