In d Bulletin recently issued by th'
Nebraska experiment station Professor
7. l., Haecker, the dairy expert, deal
with test TO determine the amount VI
contamination OF milk that takes plac,
during milking and It's control. 1ht
four methods tested were as follows
W sponglng the cows uddcr with wa
ter before milking; (2) using q pei
cent solution Of carbolic acid; (3j rub
bing with yaselIne. aud al simply
brushing with the hand.
4 bacterial test was made Of ,llq
above methods. and the results oh
ta!n,-l brought forth the following con
cinsiUns:
Some means Of preventing milk con
tamination during milking should bf
employed.
The work required 10 sponge an ami
mars GanE and udder Is but q trlGe,
aud great Improvement can be mady
on the milk and IS products.
The acid solution costs Q cents per
gallon, which Is enough 10 treat ten
cows. The only objections TO this
method are the dlsagrceable odor aud
the bother OF mixing.
The vasellne costs about the same as
the carbolic acid and serves as q good
preventive for chapped or sore teats
II Is also 10 be recommended for cows
with short teats which have 10 DC milk,
ed by the stripping method. This treat
ncnt WIN not answer when the cows
have dirty udders
The water treatment Is TO be recon-
mendcd for general use above the other
three. as 1t Ia cheaper and does the
WORK practically as well. This method
can be used on any farm with little or
no inconvenience, and the results OBJ
talnel would more than compensate
for the extra time required.
In the comparison Of cement and
board floors. cement showed less than
hall the contamination OF board floors.
and they are also much easier 10 keep
clean.
Milking out Of doors In clean yards
OF pasture gives better results than In
clean barns even under the best Of con
ditions.
The records obtained In this expert.
ment. while giving the desired com
parsons, show conditions very much
above the average, FOR in all cases the
cove would be considered clean and
the stable well kept.

TURN ON THE LIGHT. "

The more the affairs of the Equi
table Life Assurance Society are
ventilated because of the row
among its officers and directors
the more uneasy do the poiicyhold-
ers of this company in particular
and the policyholders of life in
surance generally become. If Tom
Lawson had made the charges
specifically against the company
which are now disclosed to be
facts he would have been hooted
at by insurance interests and dis
credited by the public.
Yet here we have the New York
Sun, which no one will accuse of
making a reckless attack on cor
porate interests, INDUCING in the
following comment:
"No more fragrant instance, tC
our mind, of gross, persistent and
