The bottles known as "sterilizing"
bottles are tall, narrow ones. with a
capacity Of eight ounces, or half pint.
After being filed with milk the bot
ties are corked most conveniently by
means OF wad or plug of cotton bat
ting. But of course care must be used
that this does not become wet, and the
bottles must be kept upright. They
may also be Stoppered with ordinary
corks which have recently been boiled
each time before using, and then less
care to keep the bottles upright will be
needed. But corks must be firmly tied
down; when sterilizing Is done. TO pre-
vent their being forced out. To heat

must be raised to the boiling point,
when the bottles can be removed and
cooled gradually, to prevent the:-
cracking. As it is advantageous to
COOL the milk rapidly. the use OF tin
cans OF similar shape as the bottles
has been recommended in bulletin 1874
OF the Michigan Experiment Station.
SUCH cans may be put at once in iced
water. The part OF the bottles above
the milk is not pasteurized, and hence
the bottles should be kept upright to
prevent contamination. At ITO degrees
water begins to steam and simmer,
While boiling begins at 100 to 1876 de-
srees. at which time the milk in the
bottles has reached 1876 degrees. II it
IS desired to pasteurize at q lower tenn
perature, say, at 1b5 degrees, tho water
must be held at this point for half an
hour. and at 40 degrees for about IN
hour. This will take more care and
time than the method described.-Ju-

Washington. April 15-The Chinese
exclusion bill occupied the, attention of
the ser ate throughout yesterday, Sem
ators Foraker and McLaurin making
extended speeches in opposition. Mr..
Foraker contended that the pending
measure was ,.iolative of out treaty
with China and was calculated to pre-.
vent our commercial expansion in the
Far East. While strongly supporting
the policy of the government to eX-
clude Chinese labor, the Ohio senator
maintained that this could best be done
by an extension of the present law.
holding that the drastic provisions of
the pending bill would cut off our cot

Poultry Brief5,

At the Wisconsin Roundup Insti-
tute last week. Mrs. Ida Tillson spoke
OF her experiences In poultry raising.
She said she had tried twenty-three
different breeds. or these the White
Wyandottes seem to be gaining most
public recognition at this time. They
have largely taken the lead IN the
shows and were surprisingly strong at
the Chicago show in January
1t costs about Is cents to bring a
chick to the fullest stage. Tha: is in
elusive OF the original cost OF the esq
and of care and housing it to the
period mentioned. II a pullet does
not lay before she is six months old
there has been some trouble with the
system Of feeding. According to the
experience Of Mrs. Ti!!gon. it costs
about 60 cents to board a hen for
year.
Most people that raise hens have no
idea OF what the food costs they give
their fowls. If they try to keep ac-
count OF their expenses in thst regard
very likely the grain feed will not be
separated from that destined for other
farm animals, and under such condi-
tons accuracy is impossible. The
grain destined for the fowls should be
weighed aud placed by itself so that
it Will be possible to determine from
time to tire the exact amount used.
One woman complains that even this
method is not effective in he. case, as
her husband Invariably feeds his Wis
itor's horses out OF her grain.
A bone grinder Ia OF primo import
ance. this lady asserts. and every Der
son that keeps as many Of 50 fowls

mill was purchased. as she desired to
be sure Of its value before investing
any larger sum in 1t. Tho smaller
mill does very we'll indeed, but will
not take in the shin bones and joints.
A sis machine is preferable. By the
aid OF this machine an average o. las
eggs per hen has been obtained from
the flock. People tell about tocks
that average 200 eggs per fowl, but it
is very doubtful il there are any large
floc,zs doing that we'll. Here and there
are fowls that lay 200 Or more eggs per
year, but they do better than tho aver
