BORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.

Farmer and Dairyman.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest faint or hint of staleness
left in can, tin or churn may ruin
whole output; that the faint which
Is left is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk o.
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been constant clamor for
dairy cleanser and sweetener tina
Will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
adjustments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fills
the bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as cleanser, a sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that S
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re-
lieving the dairyman and dairy house.

work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gre

every dairy.
The cows udder is kept in clean,
healthy and smooth con iition by
washing 1t with borax and water, a
tablespoonful Of borax to two quarts
Of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness OF cracking teatS, which make
milking time dread to the COW and
a worry to the mixer.
The modern cleanser OF all dairy
utensils consists of-one tablespoon
full of borax to every quart of water
needed. Remembers tablespoonful

Vacation of National Value

The American people of all classes
are the greatest travellers in the
world, and it is the numerous oppor-
tunities for contact in travel which
more than anything else keeps US So
cially one. AS people go to summer
and winter resorts and summer con-
fEences and assemblies, those from
all parts Of the country and all parts
of the world are met. Local peculi-
arities of speech and manner are lost
by lessons of observation. and pro-
cess of amalgamation is constantly
going on to the advantage of those
chiefly concerned and also for the So
cial advancement of the nation. Even
the much ridiculed summer engage
ment has its uses. For while many
are frivolous and temporary, many
are serious and lead to marriage, and
contribute to that intermingling of
people of different races and colari-
ties which is to the great advantage
of the nation.-Watchman.

The Borden's Condensed Milk Go. are installing large filtration plant on land west of the railroad at the Newtown station to care for the waste matter coming from the local Borden plant. In the New York Herald, which is making a fight against the tubercu- lin test, used on cattle, appeared this editorial, Wednesday: The Borden Condensed Milk Company has con- menced suit in Trenton, N. J., nam- ing the officials of the Board of Health of Montclair, N. J., as defendants. The Borden company complains that the tuberculin test exacted by the' of- fcials of Montclair is an injustice to the company as we'll as a hindrance to trade. It seems that the milk object ed to by the officials of Montclair is ad- mitted by the Board of Health of this city. The company makes the further contention that many physicians seri- ously question the value of the test. In court both sides will appear and much interesting and timely informa- tion will be available. Justice and the truth will prevail.
