HOW PURE MILK
IS PRODUCED

Will T. Suter has installed the Hoard
model COW stall at his new barn on
Sunnyside farm. There is greater
Significance to be attached to this than
might seem apparent at first thought,
as it marks the progress that is being
made in dairying-in sanitation as
relates to the production and the care
of milk.
There are few persons familiar with
farm life who do not carry in their
minds unpleasant memories of the COW
stable, full of bad odors and unsanit-
ary, where such thing as real cleanli-
ness, either as it relates to the stable
or the cows themselves was scarcely
ever dreamed Of When such condi-
tions exist the quality of the milk pro-
duced is naturally in keeping with the
COWS aud the surroundings.
The model stall with which MIR.
Suter has equipped his stable most
convincingly demonstrates that with
the proper care and attention, the COW
can be kept as clean and free from BAD
odors as a well-groomed horse and that
the milk can be sent to market free
from the least suspicion of harboring
dangerous germs. Such barn indeed
is we'll worth a visit
So far as can be determined the
Hoard model stalls adopted by Mr.
Suter are the only ones to be found
anywhere in this section. Indeed, up
to the present there are only few in
use in the country. The stall renders
it impossible for the COW to soil her
self.
The principal feature of the model
stall is a movable ledge or crosspiece
on the floor, some four inches high,
which is adjusted to suit the exact
length of the COW. In front of the
ledge clean bedding is kept for the
cow to lie upon, while behind the
ledge taking in the whole row of
stalls is groove in the floor, which is
cleaned out and flushed several times
daily.
When the COW wishes to lie down,
to avoid the ledge or cross piece on
the floor she steps forward, bringing
practically her whole body on the
clean bed. which from the position she
occupies it is impossible for her to
soil.
The rack in the model stall is so
constructed that when the COW arises
she is obliged to step backward, which
brings her hind legs outside of the
ledge.
Cleanliness in the production of
milk is still furthr promoted by a Gus
tom that is never departed from in
Mr.. Suter's barn. Before each milk
ing the udder of every COW is washed
with warm water and soap. Thus it
is rendered impossible for bacteria of
the stable or minute particles of dirt
that might adere to the COW to find
their way into the milk. AS an extra
precaution once a month all the sup
erfuous hair is removed from the
cows udder.
Mr.. Suter's herd of cows contains
thirteen beautiful Holsteins, the great
er number being registered and every
one of which is pet. There are three
other cattle, not Holsteins, but which
share in the general good treatment.
Due to the healthy stock and cleanly
surroundings the milk from Mr.. SUIT
er's dairy has been known to preserve
its sweetness and purity for three days
or longer even in the summer season.

the pike in an automobile at rate of

an adequate idea of the amount of good

hand is accomplished by this band of
charitable and sacrificing women.

The price OF sweet potatoes dropped to

Most of the sweets have been dug. The
crop has been the largest for years from
4 to 6 baskets to the 100 hills and the
price has been fair. The largest crop has
been where fertilizer and kainit was
used without any manure
Sweet potatoes are selling for 81 a bar
rel including the barrel on the Delmar-
via Peninsula, which causes allow price for
Jersey sweets.
The late tomato crop is larger than ex-
pected a month ago. While some will
not get more than two or three tons (60
has. a tom to the acre a few will get eight
or nine. The average will be about five
or six tons or about half a crop. The
price opened at lac a basket, went up to
25c and is now at 18c. Several 1tal-
ian pickers of late tomatoes returned
home to Philadelphia this week.
The cause of the small crops of toma-
toes is charged to the dashing rains and
heavy winds the last week in July and
the first week i'll August. About that
time the bloom was setting and many
were broken off by the storms. Tomato
plants which bloomed later have a larger
crop on them.
