briskly.
Mrs. Henrietta Keeney sat in her
electric victoria by the side of the
road, most detected and unhappy
woman. She was miles from any
where-suspended as it were between
town and the Brightwood Country
club, because she had overlooked the
important item of having her car
charged and the current had been
coaxed to the utmost limit. From a
brisk pace that would land Mrs. Keen
ey at the club before her friend and
rival, Mrs. Puff1ngton, the car had set
tied down to a discouraged jog, then
to spasmodic jerks that almost re-
fused to surmount a "thank-you-
/ ma'am," and finally the car stopped
altogether. Mrs. Keeney had been sit
ting there over an hour, trying to de-
wise some way out of her dilemma.

widely in composition, depending upon
the breed and individuality of the
cow, stage of lactation and weather
conditions. Food, as a rule, has little

BEST WAYS OF
HANDLING MILK
By George p. Grout, North Da.
kota Agricultural College.

For many years past, dairy authori.
ties have held that milk and cream
would not absorb bad odors from sur
rounding atmosphere after milking un-
til cooled to temperature equal to or
below that of the surrounding atmos-
phere and it was further believed that
milk gave of animal odors when warm
er than the air and absorbed others
when colder. For this reason. dairy
men in general did not hasten to re-
move milk from the barn until con
venient, and often left it there until
cooled nearly to the temperature of
the surrounding atmosphere. Late in
vestigations on milk absorption have
d1sproved these facts, and it is now
held that warm milk will take on bad
odors just as quickly as the cold milk.
1t is very obvious, therefore, that the
milk should not remain long in the
barn. The quicker it can be gotten
out of the barn the better If good re-
suits and high price for the butter is
expected. Besides absorbing bad odors.
many of the changes which take
place in milk and it's products are
caused by the growth of tiny bacteria
or plant life which multiply very rap
idly under favorable conditions. If
the best results are to be expected. the
milk should be kept as free from all
forms of filth and dirt as possible as
filth and dirt contain millions of the
tiny forms which may grow and spoil
your milk and cream.
The farmer or producer should use
all possible precaution to keep out all
forms and trust to the butter maker
to put in the proper kind to produce
the desired favor. 1t is just as neces-
sary that the butter maker have
full control of the cream as it is that
the housewife have full charge of the
bread making. The housewife uses
yeast to sour her bread and the butter
maker uses starter to sour his cream.
Either would sour without these, but
the housewife knows very well that
she would make poor quality of
bread without yeast. The butter max
er knows he can make only a poor
quality OF butter without good culture,
but l have often heard the question
raised as to the Importance of keeping
cream sweet until delivered to the
factory. The producer should strive
to prevent unfavorable bacteria from
gaining entrance into the cream, then
keep it cold and deliver the product
in sweet condition for the butter
maker to handle. The result will
please the producer as it will mean a
high quality of butter and a good-sized
monthly cream check
