Sanitary MIX That May Be vended
at Moderate Cost.
What is to be done for the great
mass of people who cannot afford to
buy certified milk delivered In glass
jars at an advance price2 The follow
Ing scheme has been suggested to milk
producers by the health authorities of
one city
Make the milking pail, shipping can
and delivery can one vessel, holding
about fifteen quarts, with small 81
inch opening and tight cover. Milk
through a sterilized cheesecloth strainer
directly into this can until it is full;
throw the strainers into pail; put
on the cover and sink the can in ice
water. This can is shipped by rail, or
carried on the peddler's wagon, and
used for a delivery can.
This milking pail and cheesecloth
strainer must be sterilized by steam
or simply by putting the pail contain
ing some water and strainers on the
stove to boil for five minutes. A cool
ing tank should be made SO that it
overfiows at a level just below the COW
er of the can. This scheme ought to
materially lower the cost of clean milk
For the house peddling we offer one or
two suggestions: The usual method of
using a quart dipper or a tightly closed
pail with spout that can be corked;
then the peddler turns the pail upside
down to mix the milk. removes the
cork and pours out the required amount
into the customers glass or tin quart
measure, the cleanliness of which the
customer is responsible for.

IN THE GRANITE STATE.

Legislation the Grange Is Seeking
and what 1t Has Secured.
The grange in the state Of New
Hampshire is in very fourishing con-
dition. More names have been added
to the rolls during the last three months
than during the same length Of time
since the grange was organized in the
state.
Among the laws that have been pass
ed by grange influence in the interests
of the farmers are the grange school
law, so called. whereby seventy-two
Gowns get state aid to help the children
in these towns to more equal school
privileges, and the good roads law,
whereby the state is to expend $685.
cooper year for six years divided among
those towns that will appropriate like
amount to be expended under the direc-
ton of state engineer for permanent
roads. Some needed legislation that
the grange will take up at the next
session will be a law for the better pro-
lection of the farmers crops from
game animals now protected by law
Deer are In some sections of the state
very numerous and often do considera-
Bile damage to clover fields, especially
in the early spring, and to growing
crops during the summer months
There are some other matters that will
also claim attention of the next leg

HINTS FOR LECTURERS.

How a Delaware Grange Discusses
Subjects That Come Before 1t.
We rather like this idea, taken from
an account of the methods employed
in Fruitland grange of Delaware:
The lecturer must arrange and has
charge of all subjects. any member
being privileged to suggest any sub
ject he or she wishes discussed. After
a subject is announced for certain
meeting the lecturer appoints some one
to take charge of it and subdivides it
so that the salient features will come
up for consideration. Then the MEM
Der in charge appoints some other
member to open the discussion on these
subdivisions.
The subject for recent meeting was
fertilizers. 1t was subdivided as fol-
lows and members appointed to open
the discussions: What are the elements
of complete fertilizer? How shall
we arrive at the value or cost of these
elements or of any brand of mixed fer
tilizers? What forms Of nitrogen should
we buy for our various uses, what
forms of phosphoric acid, and how
should they be used? What conduces
to acidity in our soils and how may
1t be remedied? What forms of potash
are most desirable for orchards, what
forms are most desirable for general
use, and which is the better, home or
factory mixing of fertilizers, giving
formulas for various truck and vege-
table crops?
That demands about as near an ex-
haustive discussion of a subject as one
often comes across in grange meetings.

Destroying Garlic.

From a discussion of the subject of
garlic in pasture and hay fields by
practical cultivators, Country Gentle
man finds the prevailing opinion to be
apparently that to destroy the bulb Of
the plant the land should be plowed
shallow late in the fall, to expose the
bulbs to frost action. Zone writer says
to harrow the ground after the bulbs
are frozen. Repeat the process early
in the spring. One writer reported
that two years of such practice eff
fectually cleared his land. One letter
advised as follows: "Plow it up, sow
rye on the land. Now pillow 1t in next
spring and sow peas at once. Plow
them in the fall, and let the land stand
until the following spring. Then work
up nicely and sow with grass or any
other crop wanted It takes time TO
get rid of this. It cannot be done in a
hurry. / have had good success that
way"

cigar Leaf Tobacco Acreage.

Generally the acreage devoted to eli
gar leaf tobacco throughout the United
States this year shows some increase
over last season, according to Ameri-
can Agrlculturist. The main incentive
to encourage farmers in more exten-
sive production is the satisfactory man
ner in which the last crop was cleaned
up by buyers. Not for years have
stocks Of cigar leaf tobacco in growers
hands been reduced to such meagel
proportions as they are at present.

The Girl and the Cows.

Seven years ago a little seven-year-
old Indiana girl was made happy by
the present of tiny pig. The pigs
life, though short, was happy one,
for he was never neglected by his
small owner. At last the pig was sold
for $3.50. The most Of this money was
invested in full blood Jersey calf.
From this small start the girl now has
five head of fine Jersey cows. This is
no fairy story-the girl and the cows
really exist and it shows what the girl
or boy on the farm can do, says Fan
ME M. Wood in Farm Journal.

Cleaning the Farm wells.

after the farm wells. If they are low
and there is danger of their going dry,

pump platform is perfectly tight and

GRANGE ORGANIZERS.
Require Peculiar Ability to Teach
Grange Principles.

Require Peculiar Ability to Teach
Grange Principles.
National Lecturer Gaunt points out
some of the requisites Of a successful
grange organizer i'll a recent. issue Of
the National Grange Bulletin, and
what he says is quite as applicable to
county deputies, who are usually the
local organizers.
The most difficult thing IN building
up the grange In any state is to find
such men who will devote time to the
work.
They must be thoroughly imbued
with the principles and teachings Of
the grange and must possess the facul-
ty Of imparting the evidence of that
spirit to others. They must be ener-
getic and thoroughly impregnated with
the desire to build up the organization
rather than simply work for the money
they will get for their services. OF
course they must be well paid, for few
such persons can devote time to the
work without pay for it in some form
or other.
II mdy De III mOiey DIS all OTSdlltA-
ing deputy, 1t may be in honor as the
master of a thriving and influential
state grange or it may be, if one has
the means, in the satisfaction of doing
something to help the farmers and pro-
mote the agricultural industry In
the case of organizing deputies it must
be mainly in money. as they would be
paid in any other business for similar
services, although even with them the
satisfaction of promoting the work of
the grange will count for something.
When the oranges in New Hamp-
shire were being organized one deputy
organized nearly hundred oranges
and received S15 a grange, or praeti-
cally 1900 for organizing practically
a hundred oranges. Those same
oranges pay into the state grange
treasury over 81 800 every year In fees
and dues to help carry along the work
of the organizations in the state. This
was the best possible Investment that
could have been made of the amount
of money expended In organizing those
oranges, viewing it from the stand
point of investment alone.

No better package for preserving but
ter, to retain it's original choice flavor,
has ever been devised than the old
stone or earthenware jar. When COW
cred with brine it keeps the butter
from the air. If the butter could be
prevented from shrinking and rising
to the top of the brine it would be
still better. An excellent plan is to
place only thin film of brine over
the butter and fit plate into the jar
upon the butter; then pour melted wax
or paraffin upon the plate, completely
sealing 1t air tight. Stored butter
should be Kept at as low and even a
temperature as possible. Farm Jour

Foam In the Churn.
Cream that contains too much skim
milk and is too cold will foam. Never
add hot water to the cream 1t must
be taken from the churn and heated
by placing the can in pan of hot wa
ter and stirring until the desired tenn
perature is reached.
A Business sson Honor.o
Milk making and milk selling are
and should be largely transacted on
honor The advantage is with the
dairyman. The customer rwho con-
sumes the milk must take it on faith.
Such an advantage imposes obligations
upon the dairyman which might not be
SO binding if the buyers eyes could be
his market guide, remarks an ex-
change.
Handy MILK Pals.
We use cheap tin buckets with fat
bottoms. They are easy to clean and
light to carry. When soap is used in
washing pals, ETC., great care must be
taken to have it all rinsed out, says
dairyman.
just Good ssPIain, Milk.
Most Of us have to be content with
selling just good .'plain" milk, so what
we most need is not instruction regard
ing ideal care so much as teaching con-
corning few simple. inexpensive pre-
cautions which shall tend to raise the
general grade of the great bulk Of
milk. The removal of the manure from
tie stable every day, cows bedded well
enough so that their tanks are not
coated with manure and their tails
soaked with urine and brushed enough
30 that hairs and fiecks of manure and
tlandruff scales are not falling in a
constant shower into the pail-these
are some of the simple things that go
to make good milk Professor ]. Van
Wagner, Jr.
In Brief.
Cream Is cash.
Don't mix warm and cold milk.
Be gentle when milking, even if the
fiies do bother.
Keep the milk cans open and In the
sun when not in use. They need the
ventilation.
Cream and milk should always be
kept where surrounding atmosphere is
pure and cool.
There are no bacteria in the milk
when 1t comes from the cows udder.
They get in mighty quick, though,
afterWard
An ice house Is a good thing if you
can afford it. But you surely can af-
ford cold water to cool the milk.
The milking machine seems to be
doing good work. On one farm sixty
rows are MIXED In an hour with one
outfit Of six machines. Kimball's

TYPES OF ALFALFA SEED.

The two rows to the right illustrate the

ter the angular, pointed type, and the
two on the left approximate more or
less closely to the rounded type seen in
the sweet clover and sometimes in yell
low trefoil, particularly, for example.

very worst samples analysed showed
but 63.9 per cent of pure, good alfalfa
seed, while the impurities amounted
to 36.1 per cent and consisted of dead
and decayed alfalfa seed, 28.1 per cent:
foreign seed, IL per cent, and inert
matter, 8 per cent.
Weed seeds are paid for and are add
ed to the weed seeds already existing
in the soil, and very frequently they
are perennial weeds of nature very
difficult to eradicate. If alfalfa seed
costs II cents pound there would
have been in a case like this as much
as 6 cents absolutely thrown away for
every pound of the seed bought, and to
the amount thus lost must be added
the rental value of the land occupied
by the weeds, the seeds of which have
been bought and sowed.
