THE DAIRY FARM.
Wholesome Suggestions to Those
Who Engage i'm this Industry.

DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, Health Com
missioner for the State of Pennsyl-
vania, has issued the following in
structions with regard to the hand
ling of milk
THE floors, walls and ceilings of
the stable should be tight, walls and
ceilings being kept free from cobWeDs.
There should be as few dust catching
ledges and projections as possible.
DO not allow musty or dirty litter
or strong smelling material IN tne
stable. Manure should not lie stored
near the stable. 1t is well to sprinkle
the floor with air-slacked lime or land
plaster daily
Cans should not be taken into the
stables to be refilled. Remove the
milk of each cow at once from the
stable to a clean room and strain i'm
mediately. Canton flannel or absorb
ent cotton makes good stra1ner. The
milk should he cooled as soon
as strained. Ali milk houses should
be screened from flies.
Milk utensils should be made of
metal with all joins smoothly sold
cred, Or, should be made of stamped
when possible, metal. Never allow
utensils to become rusty or rough
inside. Use milk utensils for moth
ing but handling, storing or deliv-
ering the milk
To clean dairy utensils use pure
water only. First rinse utensils with
cold water. then wash inside and out
in hot water; then rinse again; ster-
ilize with boiling water or steam; !;
then keep inverted IN clean place
or exposed to the sun where no dirt
can be blown or dropped into them.
The mixer should wash his hands
Immediately before milking. The
practice OF moistening the hands with
milk when milking is most vicious
and uncleanly and should be avoided.
He should wear a clean outer gar
ment, which should be kept in clean
place when not in use. Tobacco
should not be used when milking.
''The first few drops of milk from
each teat should not be milked into
the can as it will be apt to injure the
milk both as to the keeping qualities
and as to the healthfulness for food
stuff.
IF any part of the milk is bloody,
stringy, or unnatural in appearance,
OI, IL ny dccluenC, QlfI SSIS lHto Tie
milk pail the whole mess should be
rejected.
Never mix warm milk with that
which has been cooled, and do not al
low to freeze
do not feed dry, dusty feed pre-
vious to or during milking times.
Persons suffering from tuberculo-
sis Or skin diseases or those suffering
from a contagious disease must not
handle either the cows, the milk or
milk utensils.
1T is needless to say that the short
er the time between the production of
milk and the delivery, and between
delivery and use the better will be
the quality of the milk, providing it
is cooled before transported.

THE ONION HARVEST,

A Wisconsin reader of these notes
writes stating that this is the first
year ne has tried to raise onions on a
large scale and that he would like II
few suggestions as to the best method
of harvesting and marketing the crop
given him may be of assistance tn
some other readers, we present it here.
Onions from seed sown as early a
possible in the spring should be ready
to pull by the 10th of September OF
shortly after The right time for this
is when the tops of the crop as Il
whole have withered and are thorough
ly dry and the roots dead. The work
of pulling may be done by hand. but
where the ground has been kept free
from weeds it may be more rapidly
done by using round toothed lawn
rake, which should be held firmly so
that the teeth will come under the
onion and pulled gently at an angle
to the row, SO that the pull of the rake
will come OH but one onion at time.
We have found it convenient to go
through the field raking three rows
loose facing in one direction, then rak-
ing three rows from the opposite di-
rcction toward these. This gives a
windrQw across the field of six rows.
which makes convenient quantity in
the work of topping. Care should be
taken not to pile the onions up, for if
wet weather comes on they are likely
to heat and sprout The job of top
ping may be commenced as soon as
the onions are thoroughly dry after
pulling. While a twist of the wrist. a
jackknife or sheep shears are used by
some for this job, we have found moth
ing 50 convenient us sharp pair of old
shears. They are light, and one can
work fast with them. The top should
be cut at point about Il third of an
inch from the bulb. The chief point
to have in mind in the harvest of on
ions is a thorough curing of the crop,
without which they will not keep prop
erly. After the topping is done it is
well to let the onions remain on the
ground i'll shallow windrows for 4
week or ten days, at the end of which
time tie. lay be sacked in the COM
mon busilei and half onion sack or
put in bushel crates, as the demands
Of the nearest market will determine
Not the least important matter in con-
nection with what may be called a sue
cessful handling of the crop is the
finding of Il market for it. If one has
from 10000 pounds up to q carload,
the minimum weight of which is "a 200
pounds, il is well to get in touch with
reliable dealers in the larger nearby
markets. Gnc year with another they
should bring from 40 to 80 cents
bushel, free on board shipping point, |
and sometimes more than this if mar
kcted early, when the demand is sharp |
or the crop is short. If one has les !
than 1e,0t0 pounds, lives near Il good |
live town and can spare the tine, |
more can be realized by peddling them |
out from house to house. The onions |
should be sacked only when they are |
thoroughly Cry, the sacks scweA and |
put aboard ears at once or in dry |
place until time Of shipment

Jenny Lind and eoIdsehmiat.

When Jenny Lind first sang In Leip-
sic she appeared at Gwandhaus con-
cert under Mendelssohn's direction.
Naturally there was a great demand
for tickets, despite the fact that the
prices were raised. 1t was therefore
decided that the students of the con-
servatorium must waive their usual
right to free admission to these con
certs. But the students objected with
vigor. They were as anxious as any
body to hear the Swedish nightin-
gale A protest was made, and young
Otto Goldschmidt, aged sixteen. was
the student deputed by the others to
interview the authorities. In the end
he won the day. he little thought then
that in half a dozen years he would
be equally successful In winning the
singer herself.

this year bids fair to far surpasS in
scope and Importance anything OF its
like ever attempted, will be held az
Omaha. Neb.. from Dec. 9 to ~
letter to the writer from the general
manager, Professor j. ". Jones. who
for several years was Professor p. G.
Holden's right hand man at the State
college at Ames and who is general
manager of the exposition. states that
in his opinion the National Corn expo
sitiOn is doing more to Jog agriculture
along throughout e." United States
than any other single organization;
big affair as well as clean. wholesome
and educational Mr.. Jones further
states that the management has drawn
plans which will provide 10000 square
feet more space than was at first
thought necessary, while it is more
than likely that even these accommo-
dations will have to be enlarged upon
before the entry season closes. 1t is
the thought of the members of the as
sOciation, who are residents Of every
state in the corn belt, that corn grow
ing has vast possibilities which have
not yet been realized in spite of the
fact that it's annual commercial value
Is more than that Of all other cereals
combined The aim Of the exposition
is akin to the fat stock show-the ex-
hibition of the best and most valuable
thoroughbred types. together with the
presentation of data relative to best
methods OF breeding and care. De-
tails of the exposition as respects con-
ditions, prizes. etc. will be given wide
publication at an early date. Every
farmer who has A No. | corn should
Sian to exhibit it and IL possible take
it to the exposition in person. where
i'm all probability he will be benefited
more by what he sees than by the
prizes he may carry off with his ex'
hihits. .s
