THE AWAKENING OF A MOTHER-HEART

We have lived for 20 years in fiat

perintendent of the Brixton park. My
husband, William Newman, is now
one of the head gardeners. l was
brought Up to work, and as good, hon

The Farm Ice House.

insures comfort and economy of food
during summer.
This house is IL feet wide, 16 feet
long and seven feet to the caves. It
is built of good lumber, and sided
with only one thickness. The door
in front is seldom used, since the ice
is put in and removed from the door
shown on the side.
Formerly the ice was packed in
sawdust, but as the supply became
scarce marsh hay has been substi.
tuted in part with success. Such a
house is cheaply made and if painted
is attractive. Put up with reasonable
care 1t will last for generation with
very little repair. If such luxury
is to be enjoyed next summer, now is
the time when plans should be made
for building, so as to have everything
ready when the ice harvest comes
next winter.

MANAGEMENT OF MILK.
The Rules Which Should Govern In
the Dairy to Insure Pure Product.

Hoard's Dairyman says that the es-
sential matters in the management of
milk are comprehended in the two
words-cleanliness and cooling.
Milk should be drawn from clean
cows in a clean place, into clean pals
and stored in clean cans.
Milk pals and cans should be cleaned
every time they are used, and scalded
at least once every day. To do this
successfully, first rinse in cold or mod
erately warm water, then wash in hot
water, using a brush and not cloth.
and then scald with boiling water and
let them dry without wiping. Store
these, when not in use, in clean
place away from dust, and prefer.
ably where air and sunlight can reach
them.
Do not stir up manure or litter or
hay just before milking.
Brush udder and TANKS of cows be-
fore milking and if necessary slightly
dampen these parts to prevent dirt
and hairs falling into the pail.
Strain the milk into cans, and II
cloth strainers are used, have them
washed first in warm water and then
boiled again before used a second
time.
Do not leave cans of milk in sta
BILE, but remove to clean, cool place;
leave cover partly off or cover with
thin muslin so that heat may pass off.
Set cans in cold water when possible,
and stir two or three times so that
cooling may be uniform.
Do not mix warm milk with the
cooled milk.
1t is also desirable, and in the long
run economical, regard being had to
the life and appearance of the cans
to cover them with a blanket or can
vas while in transit from farm tc
