The Drum and the Sticks.

1t is mighty hard for most people to re-
.sist temptation to joke. Last night a band
played in the lobby OF the Albany hotel in
honor Of the delegates to the laundrymen's
convention. After the music was over the
band was told to return at 8 and play some
more. The snare drummer asked the cigar
girl if he might leave his drum with heI
until he returned. She took the drum and
nut 1t on a shelf behind her and then her
troubles began. The first man who step
ped up to the stand to buy a cigar smiled
and said:
Trying to drum VI a little business, are
you?" !,
The girl laughed, but did not reply to
the joke. The man bought his cigar and
moved away, very well pleased with him

NO" replied the girl. But why do
you think You may need it,"
"Oh, I may have to beat my way home"
said the l~aundryman. He also went away
delighted with himself.
Next came a dudish young fellow who
wanted a package Of cigarets. He noticed
the drumsticks.
"Well,' he said, in a loud voice, "a per-

There is sure to be a very heavy
demand this season for clover seed, and
on to the market a great deal of poor
seed. There seems to be no way to
effectively debar the inferior seed from
the market, for as n dealer puts it,
eight farmers out Of ten will buy the
seed cheapest in price. There Is need
Of more than ordinary caution this
season, because of the urgency Of the
situation. There is no economy in
buying seed, 40 per cent contamina-
ton, at IS per bushel. when clean,
high-grade seed may be had at from
$40 to $12. Low grade seeds are slow
to terminate, and a large per cent. of
ever the pure seeds will fail to germi-
nate at all. If there is anything which
1t will pay to buy, because of cheap
ness, 1T is not seeds of any kind.

KEEPING MILK AND CREAM.

During the warm weather It = dir.
cult to keep crearn or milk In the best
condition without Ice. The greatest
roubi that creamery hAvs
to contend with now is this lack OF;
condition. rs 1t is impossible to mako
good butter out of poor cream. There
are two things essential in keeping milk
or cream. proper care OF every utenSil
that touches the milk. and the milk or
cream must be cooled as quickly .
possible and kept cool. A dirty milk
pail sets bacteria to work before the
milk is strained. Milk setting about
the stables becomes contaminated and,
trouble begins. To keep milk, first see
that the cows do not drink muddy or
foul water; get the milk out OF the
stables as quickly as possible. and then
cool the milk, and don't mix millkings.
What the dairyman most needs is q
good, cool milk house. Ice is by far the
easiest and cheapest refrigeration. but
not all dairymen are situated 70 that
they can put up ice, n many who are
suitably situated will not do 1t. Where
ice is not used then one must resort
to cold water, or to the o~ld-fashioned
outdoor cave. But In order to keep
milk and raise the maximum amount
of cream. or to keep cream In ut con-
dition, until 1t Is delivered to the
creamery, one must have m ar
rangement for cooling, or work will
be done under many disadvantages.
