the mlkman letting it get into the
milk. The bacillus once started
strongly, will cling to the milk YES
sells, the cream pitcher or bottle in
definitely, unless they are thoroughly
cieansed 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'lliman 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 carefulness
of the dairyman, it is just rs 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-
ture 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 1t, and when cooled still leaves it
with the fresh milk flavor. Running
the heat higher, will give it the
cooked flavor, and Injuries It's digesti-
bility. To keep milk fresh for days,
put it into bottles, the bottles into q
saucepan of cold water, gradually
bring to boil, instantly cork, put
back into the water and bring to a
boil again, allowing it to boil for
minute or two, let gradually cool in
the same water, fasten the corks in
so that no air possibly can touch the
milk.-Agricultural Epitomist.

to the presence Of lead dust. The
lead dust had become mixed with the
beet pulp by tho pulp being trans

Inequality In the power of the notes Of
a scale when II is played very fast and
equally as regards time. In good
mechanism the aim Is not TO play ev-
erything with an equal sound. hut TO
acquire n beautiful quality OF touch
and perfect shading.
"For a long time players have acted
against nature In seeking to give equal
power to each finger. On the contrary,
each finger should have an appropriate
part assigned II. The thumb has the
greatest power, being the thlckest fin
ger and the freest. Then comes the lit
tie finger. at the other extremity OF the
hand. The middle finger Is the main
support Of the hand and is assisted by
the first. Finally comes the third. the
weakest one.
"Asto this Siamese twin Of the middle
finger some players try to force 1t with
all their might TO become independent,
