What's up?"
Johnson started, then drew himself
together hurriedly.
MY wife and daughter have just
run up to Mary Browns for day or
two" he answered gruffly. THE visit
was-er-pretty sudden, and they had
no time to send me word, nor to get
dinner. But | guess we can patch up
one between us, Ell, Jake" trying TO
pass it off lightly. Get just as good
dinner as the women folks, and a
mighty sight quicker
Course we can" cried Jake, with
alacrity, and pleased at the thought of
so novel task, "and one we'll like
better, too. Men folks know just what

of favorite dishes.

impatiently. Here, pitch in, all of

But in spite of the superabundance
of assistance the dinner progressed
slowly, and it was o'clock before the
men drew their chairs to the table.
red-faced and tuning at the stupidity
of each other. And in spite of the
fact that it was of their own cooking,
the dinner did not seem to please
them. They tasted suspiciously of
one dish and another, and pushed

last one disappeared. He had work
of Importance to look after, so the
dishes and food were lefl on the table,
and the cooking utensils on the stove
and floor, wherever Jhey had been
dropped in the hurry, 1t would be
time enough to attend to them when
he returned.
But long before that the sun had
fallen behind the apple orchard, and
the kitchen was so full of shadows
as to call for artificial light. He
was tired and cross, and this did not
facilitate dish-washing and supper
getting. When the men came in from
their late chores he was bristling with
angry Impotence, and his face and
clothing were spotted with grease and
SCOT of reckless contact with dish
water and cooking utensils. Again they
were called upon for assistance, and

her back and engaged one of the Cady
girls. But she was no better.
Then he tried it again himself, but
with even less satisfaction than be-
fore. He had not dreamed house
work was so endless and exasperating.
and before the week was out was so
far humbled as to acknowledge TO
Jake in private that he would rather
hoe corn sixteen hours a day than pre-
pare single meal of victuals.
"Then why don't you get the wom-
en- folks back?" Jake asked bluntly.
"If you can run the kitchen cheaper
and easier than they, like I've heard
you twit 'em, go ahead and do it; II
not get 'em back. That's my say"
Another two days brought Johnson
to the limit of his endurance, and then
came relief in the shape of letter
from the city. 1t read:
Dear husband:-
We've been having pretty good
time, but things here do cost awful

John drew a quick. hard breath. and
then read the postscript.

without us, and you're living cheaper
and better, like you've always said ;
hut it's lonesome here in the big city,

Johnson dropped the letter and
| leaned his head upon his hands.
Thinking was something unusual to
him, but this time it was to good pur-
pose for it ended in his writing IN a
cramped. laborious hand.
Dear wife:

Drinking places in the Cow Pasture.


Cows are animals that seem to pre-
fer dirty water to clean. The COW is
the only farm animal that will drink
warm water from mud puddles in
preference TO cool water from water
ing trough. 1t is therefore necessary,
If we desire the COW to drink pure
water, to deprive her of sources Of
supply of impure water. The obnox-
ious weeds that surround the drink
ing places in the COW pastures are
frequently the source of taints in
milk, especially when such weeds in
clude garlic and wild onions. The
elimination of these polluted drinking
places in the pastures will to q very
large extent take away from the COW
the inducement to sample these OBJ
noxious weeds. II is always desir-
able to give the COW only pure water,
as in many cases the stagnant water
in the pastures is a source of contain
ination to the milk supply. Here and
there are cases of stringiness or ropi-
ness in milk. On investigation IL has
been found that this abnormal condi.
ton of the milk was produced by mi
mute fungi, which were found to thrive
in stagnant pools. Some scientists
say that the spores of the fungi pass
through the cow and into the milk
ducts, while others declare that the
udders of the COW come into contact
with the stagnant pools and that from
the outside of these udders the spores
fall into the milk pals when the milk
is being drawn, By whichever way
the spores reached the milk is of no,
particular interest AS the stagnant
water was the source of contamina-
ton in either case, the prevention of
such accidents requires the elimina-
ton in the pastures of all such drink
ing places Elmer Ashton, Bureau

Keeping MIX In Hot Weather.


The problem of keeping milk during
the heated term is very much greater
than that OF keeping milk at any other
time of the year. All bacterial life
thrives and the laws of bacterial life
have provided for enormous increase
of bacteria in very short time under
summer temperatures. Conditions
that would permit milk to remain
sweet for "a hours in the winter time
Will result in milk turning sour in ~
hours in the summer time. In the
winter time poorly washed can
would infect the milk and result In
time in souring 1t. The multiplication
of the germs would be very slow, how
ever, and most of the milk would be
used up before 1t had had time to
sour. In the summer 1t is necessary
that excessive care be taken in the
washing of the milk vessels. They
should be first washed and rinsed in
cold water, which washing WIN re-
move most OF the caseins from the
sides of the vessels. If hot water Is
used first 1t will result in coagulating
the casein, and the latter will stick to
temperatures II is the butter fat that
sticks to the sides. Therefore It is
reasonable, after the casein has been
rinsed out. to detach the fat by the
use OF boiling water In cases where
the vessels of tin are not new, soda
should be used in each can, as this
will combine with the casein. 1t
| should be made certain that the water
Is boiling hot and that 1t remains long
enough In the cans to destroy all germ
life. This may be assured by cover,
ing the cans. as by this means the,
heat will be retained for a long time.
Merely pouring hot water into the
cans and pouring 1t out again will
generally remove the traces OF butter
fat, but will not necessarily destroy
all germ life. After the hot water
has been poured from the cans, they
should be again rinsed in cold water
and then summed. This summing is
very important, and is made much of
by the condensing companies. They
prescribe rules that must be followed
by the men that supply them with,
milk, and one Of these rules Is that
in summer time these cans must be,
exposed for hours to the penetrating
rays OF the sun. If one will, in hot
weather. go through dairy region.
/ that Is engaged particularly In supply.
Ing milk to the large condensers, he
will see everywhere rows of cans on
racks and scaffolds so placed that the
suns rays will enter the interiors.
The sunlight is germicidal in its eff
fects. Cleanliness is the first requis-,
| lite OF milk keeping. The second is
cold. The milk should be cooled as
quickly as possible, and to as low q
temperature as possible. and placed In
a room or in water that is cold. These
simple principles lie at the bottom OF
keeping milk in summer.
