French, and carried to St. Germain-en-

THE HANDLING OF MILK.
Its Quick and ThOrou"h Cooling
Specially Considered.

Its Quick and ThOrou@h Cooling
Specially Considered.
The cooler milk is kept the less ac-
tive the bacteria in it will be and the
longer the milk will 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 quartz cans into
a trough containing ice water. Then,
again, coolers are used, through the
inside of which passes Il current OF
cold water or ice water. and the milk
runs in u thin layer over the cold
sides of the apparatus. being cooled
very rapidly. This method is very sat
isfactCry for two reasons-(p the milk
is cooled very promptly, and t2) IT Is
aerated. freeing it from the cOwy odor.
Generally speaking, that apparatus
is most efficient that cools the milk to
the lowest possible temperature in the
shortest possible time. 1t must be
borne i'll 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 Il low tenn
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 1t
will resume its activity; hence milk
can be kept unchanged for any rea-
sonable length of time by subjecting
il to and keeping it at u low tempera-
ture.
Aerators that are not coolers, If used
in summer, do not improve the milk
bacteriologically, as the temperature or
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
micro-organisms, the longer it will re-
tain its normal condition, the more
profitable its production will be and
the more wholesome will it be for old
and young.-Otto +. Hunziker.

Jnpanese Wives.

The Japanese woman does not black.
en- her teeth under any mistaken Idea
that 1t makes her attractive; she does
1t to make herself unattractive. Her
husband is supposed to know her val.
ue. II he Doesn't he divorces her. He
makes no provision for her, and she
has no dowry from her family. But
divorced woman IN Japan nearly al
ways marries again. She brings moth
ing but a gentle and Obedient slave
and takes nothing away with her but
the same valuable commodity.
The reason why lower class women
receive more consideration from their
husbands than their upper class SIS
ters is that they are capable Of earning
their own livings, which Japanese Ia
dies are not So thoroughly Is this rec
ognized that lower class woman d.
vorces her husband If she Is not salts

the more select circles unless the wom-
an Is an heiress. when the husband is
of as little consideration as lady. 1t

A Clever PfckpOcket.

In Paris two police officers recently
got upon the track Of pickpocket.
They surprised him in the act at the
omnibus bureau and followed him In
hot pursuit. He was thin, poorly
clad young fellow. In the Rue Roche
chonaut, however, he suddenly disap-
peared. Judging that he had slipped
into one of the houses they set them
selves to watch for his temperance.
The thief in the meantime had entered
bathing establishment, and after
refreshing bath entered the box OF an
other bather and calmly clothed him
self in the smart suit he found there.
then passed proudly and peacefully
out before the very eyes Of his pur-
suers. The climax Of humor came
when the other bather, arrayed In the
rags of the pickpocket, was grabbed by
the officers of the law ut the door and
dragged off to the station house. With
some difficulty the situation was ex-
planned; but the pickpocket Is still

CORN FODDER.
Shred II and Make Beef-The Day
of Cheap Cattle Has Passed.

Shred IL and Make Beef-The Day
of Cheap Cattle Has Passed.
Shredded corn fodder is the most eco
nomical material that can be used in
the manufacture of beef. The demand
for beef at the present time seems al
most unlimited, so that we can save
this great wasted crop and feed 1t
into beef without any fear of over
loading the market. The census re-
ports show that the population of our
cities, the market for beef, increased
36.S per cent from 1890 to 1900, but the
number of cattle killed for beef in
creased only per cent. The export de-
mand for dressed beef gained enough
in the ten years to take the entire in
crease in our production. so that we had
the same supply in 1900 as in 1880, al
though the beef eating population had
grown 36.S per cent. Receipts for this
year to date have shown cOnsidera
BILE falling off as compared with 1901.
so that we have today about the same
supply as in 1890 to feed 40 per cent
more people. counting the gain in city
population TO date.
In 1910. only eight years off. we shall
have So per cent mere people In our
cities than in 1890 if the growth Of the
last ten years continues. Twelve years
have passed since 1890 and we have
made no progress toward supplying
this gain of 81 per cent in the demand
which should be met within eight
years in 1910. We cannot meet it with
the methods of farming that have been
followed heretofore. The good farm
lands of the west have all been settled.
down in the scale of beef production
because of the destruction of grasses
by overpasturing. We have reached Il
permanent level of high prices of beef
so high. in fact. ut the present time
that perhaps million people or more
who would like to eat beef are COM
PEELED to go without it or to content
themselves with a nibble instead Of
full plate.
A good corn crop this fall will re-
lieve the situation somewhat from the
standpoint of the consumer. but the
day of cheap cattle has passed forever.
With high prices and practically un-
limited demand good business policy
demands that the farmer should bend
every effort to increase his output of
beef. There is little danger of over
doing it. The only way in which a
really considerable increase can now
be made in the supply of cattle is by
saving the enormous corn fodder crop
of the west and shredding it.-Farm.
