One serious drawback to the CO.
operative creamery business is the
seeming necessity which compels
Sunday work during the summer to
properly care for the milk. OF course
the cows must be MIXED or Sunday
just as on any other day, and this
seeming necessity Of running the
creamery on Sunday has in most
cases overruled whatever moral sen,
timent there may have been in the
community against Sunday work. We
notice, however, that quite a number
of creameries are giving up this Sun
day work, the patrons having made
arrangements to care for their Sun
day milk at home. Wherever it is
possible to do this il should be done,
as any form of labor on the Sabbath
has a d~emoralizing influence on the
community at large.

A friend writes asking why apples
shrink up and wither when kept in a
cool cellar. The air is probably too
dry and subjects the fruit to a steady
process of evaporation. When kept
in a cellar, apples should not be ex-
posed to the air. They keep well
packed in moist sand or in an under
ground pit, just as potatoes are kept.
If kept in the cellar, cover them with
something which will prevent the
evaporation.
