BORAX IN TIE DAIRY

The problem Of keeping sweet all the
utensils used in connection with milk and
cream selling and butter making has been
serious with the farmer.
He has come to realize that the slightest
faint or hint of staleness left in a can, tin
or churn may ruin whole output; that the
faint that Is left is in form of bacteria,
which grow and multiply in milk or 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 q residue
the milk or cream residue, and there has
been constant claInor for a dairy cleanser
and sweetener that will meet modern re-
Quirements.
A few Of the largest creamery establish
ments called experts into consultation on
this problem, and these scientific aids de-
cided unanimously upon a product OF nature
which exactly fills the bill-BORAx.
Scientists have long known borax as a
cleanser, a sweetener and an antiseptic de-
stroyer of bacteria and green growths that
destroy all that Is harmful, preserves fresh
ness, sweetness and purity, and relieves the
dairyman and dairy housewife of drudgery
and of needless work and worry.

COST OF LIVING NOWADAYS.
Has II Come Down since the Panic
Of 1907 or Mott

Haa II Come Down Since the Fon1o
Of 1907 or Motif
The London Economist figures a de
cline in average cost of commodities
during the first four months Of 1908
of I per cent and decline from the
high point Of last year to May Of 15Ha
per cent. Bradstreet's index number
of New York prices shows fall here
Of 12A per cent from the high level
of last year. Both agree that staple
prices are now the lowest In three
wears.
But this conclusion is likely to be
disputed by any householder. His Nv
ing expenses have not decreased, ex-
cept through buying less; the average
citizen will say it now costs more to
live than before the panic. And he
Is right, II necessaries Of life alone
are considered. Bread and meat,
which enter first into actual daily cost
of living, show In the one case an adj
vance Of just Is per cent over March.
1907, and for the other decline of 2
per cent this latter being in whole
sale prices, and probably not reaching
the consumer.
Bradstreet's figures show tina,
prices of packed provisions are down
q per cent from last year, fruits 30
per cent, and leather, textiles, drugs
coal and oil something like 10 per
cent. But they do not reckon in the
price Of canned vegetables, which, as
with flour, are higher, because of the
bad growing weather OF 1907, or the
numerous preserves into whose compo-
sition enters sugar, which has adj
vanced in price. Instead, the Brad
streets table includes metals like
iron, tin and copper, which have fall
en- 80 to 80 per cent from year ago
but which cut an altogether minor fig
ure in current expenses.
The best sign of future reduction
in cost Of living is the promise Of good
crops in 1908; the worst is the reviv-
ing tendency to speculate rise In
prices. The most perplexing consider
alton is, who got or is getting the
benefit of the fall in meat and cotton
goods at first hand? Not the consum-
er, apparently.

A Mole Catcher.

A farm manager at Fodderty, Ding
wall, Scotland, watching a mole catch
er at work, saw sea gulls lowering
over and occasionally alighting upon a
turnip field In which the observer and
others were at work. A particularly
large and handsome bird attracted his
attention by the graceful way it foated
slowly over the drills, intently scan
ming the surface Of the ground. Sud-
denly, steadying itself a moment, II
dropped, dug its bill into the heaving
ground, and rose with mole for its
prey. Resting few minutes, 1t grace
fully began again further search for
prey. In few minutes a second mole
was unearthed.

It is quite certain that much may
be done to diminish the risk Of tobac-
co amblyopia by paying attention to
certain points Of personal hygiene,
says Hospital
For instance, rule should be made
never to smoke upon an empty stom-
ach, but as far as possible only after
meals It is absolutely bad to smoke
before dinner, and equally bad to
smoke late at night to keep awake at
ones work.
It should also be forbidden to chew
the cigar between the teeth, a. many
smokers are won't to do.

; short Suggestions.

Short Suggestions.
To cover the pan in which fish is
cooking will make the flesh soft.
All lard to fry fritters and doughnuts
must be very, very hot before putting
IN the batter.
Black lead mixed with vinegar win
be found to give specially good polish
to the kitchen stove.
Rub over new tinware with lard aid
thoroughly heat it in the oven before
using 1t, for thus 1t is protected from
rust.
If, when using lemon for davoring,
you need only half one, put the other
half on a plate and cover with a glass
tumbler. This excludes the air and pre-
vents It from drying up or getting
moldy.
When cleaning knives add a little
carbonate of soda to the bathbrick on
the board, for then they will polish
much quicker.
A neglected CRATE, or one which has
been red hot, should be rubbed over
with cut raw potato before it is black
loaded. The result will be q brilliant
polish.
Ink stains on silver or plated articles
may be removed with paste made OF
chloride Of lime and water. This should
be left on for a little while and then
washed on in warm water.
