USE ONLY GOOD SALT.
And Be Careful 1t Is Kept Away from
Communicating Odors.

Use only good salt in the sailing of
butter. Great care should be taken
in selecting salt for butter-making, as
salt absorbs odors and will then carry
them to the butter. Numerous cases
have come to light in which tainted
salt caused taints in butter.
In one grocery the salt was by the
side of the kerosene barrel. That salt
was heard from later in the butter Of
the farmers, some of which came to
that same grocery and was rejected
because of the slight smell of kerosene
in it.
In another grocery the salt was in
the same room with pile of Goldfish.
The Goldfish soon had the salt per-
meated with the Goldfish smell. That
salt went into the farm butter in the
vicinity and was heard from in but
ter show in which butter sailed with
that salt was "off in flavor"
For home consumption it does
not make much difference what kind of
salt is used, for the family is general
ly able to eat the butter, but when
butter is to be sold it is far different.

Why Cakes often Fail.

Because inferior ingredients are
used, such as rancid butter, inferior
sugar, damp flour, and doubtful eggs.
Because either the butter is INSULT
GENTLY beaten with the sugar or rubbed
into the flour, or the eggs are not beaten
enough.
Because the mixture is beaten after
the flour is added, whereas all that
should be done before.
The management of the oven is not
understood and the cakes are either
too dark or too pale.
Because the cakes are not carefully
tested to make sure that they are
cooked.
The cakes are either left in the tin
or put fiat on the table to cool;
whereas they should be placed on a
sieve or tilted up against something,
so that the steam cap escape.

WASHING Wooden Garments.

The very best way to wash sweaters,
babies sacques. leggings and afghans
in fact, all garments knitted or GRO
cheted-of wool is to sew the article
in bag of cheesecloth or mosquito
netting. Then, wash the bag. with its
contents. in soft water with a good
white soap. The water must not be
cold; neither must it be very hot, and,
of course, the soap must never be
rubbed into the bag, the water being
soaped beforehand.
After rinsing in several waters,
which must be of the same tempera-
ture as the soapy water, rip the gar
ment from the bag, but do not hang
it on a line to dry; lay it fiat on a
table without stretching; place in the
air to dry; if colored, avoid the sun
light, as it will fade it.
Some ammonia in the water helps
to keep wool garments soft. The dis
astrous experience that many people
have had in washing sweaters is due
to the fact that they wiring and stretch
them. which should never be done
Simply crush the bag to squeeze out
the water, but do not wiring.

POINTS no REMEMBER.
The Cans for the Creamery Milk Must
Be Clean

The can must be sweet and clean in
order to keep the milk sweet. That
same milk can must be emptied out as
it comes from the factory at noon, so
you can have it ready for the evening
milk. Don't let it stand out by the
road until you are ready to milk. l
have seen good many places where
the patron will empty the can and
clean same out with cold water If they
have no warm water handy. 1t is no
wonder some patrons get the milk
back the next day because the can had
no chance to air out and was not fit to
use for milk
Empty your cans out as soon as you
get them back; rinse them with cold
water, then boiling hot water Use a
brush to wash them; never take rag
and think that will do the work. It
will not; brush will find every hol-
low place in the can and do the work
better than anything else you can get
Then after the can is washed, lay it
down in a place where the fresh air
will blow and let it lie there for about
three hours Then you will have can
that is ready and fit to receive the
milk
That is the most trouble in the sum-
mer season. The cans are not prop.
erly cared for. And that is the reason
the creamery man always gets more
or less sour milk, SO be sure and take
care Of your milk cans.
After the milk is placed in the can
do ~ do tic e.. IA
stay in the barn over night-for 1t will
absorb all the stable air, and when
the milk comes to the creamery and
you take the cover of the can the
creamery man thinks he is close to
COW stable instead of running a cream

ing arrangements, and steam heat
ing plant is also included to keep the
temperature even in severe weather.
This barn is far too expensive to be
duplicated under average farm condi-
lions, and is designated to test the
possibilities of high-grade milk pro
duction, and is not presented as a
model for farm diaries.
The milk house is separated from
the stable by an ante-room thorough
ly ventilated, through which the milk
ers pass in taking milk from the
stable to the milk room. Through this
ante room they pass into a straining
room, where the milk is poured into
tank and runs through strainer
and small opening in the wall into
the separator room adjoining.
There is no direct connection be-
tween this receiving room and the
separator, so that the latter is not eX-
posed to the dirt of the stable. A re-
frigerator is attached, into which bot
tied milk can be placed as soon as
prepared and kept at q low tempera-
ture until delivered.
A butter-making room is also pro-
vided, equipped with all modern ma
chinery, hut the principal object of
the building is the preparation of pure,
whole milk.
There are three points about this
dairy that are worthy of note by prac-
teal farmers: First, that the milk
house be separate from the stable !;
second, that the mixers do not enter
the separating room, and, third, pro.
vision should be made for cooling the
milk Immediately after it is strained
and bottled.

Another Food Fad.

In New York's Mexican colony they
were praising at recent dinner Pedro
Alvarado of Parral who had just given
$2,000,000 to the poor.
He was poor himself" said brok-
er. THAT is why he is now kind TO the
poor. A splendid fellow. Whenever |
go back to Mexico look him up.
"Alvarado likes to tell the quaint eX-
periences of his days of poverty.
in Mexico City he once pointed to a
bakery and said to me:
"'You see that bakery? Well, as |
looked for work one morning early, |
saw tramp on hands and knees at the
grating above the ovens.
"A policeman appeared. He tapped
with his stick the seat of the mans
trousers.
Here you, move on" he said
sternly:
"'"That's inhuman, mister" whined
the tramp, I'm just nhaln' my break
fast""
