Cleanliness in the Dairy.

To have healthful milk and butter, abso-

sary, as nothing will absorb impurities so
quickly as milk. Many housekeepers who
are otherwise careful. overlook this when
they wash milk utensils with cheap soap,
made from filthy fats. Use Ivory Soap and
thoroughly scald and air all pans and
