done by the general port commission
asked for by this congress at It's ses-
sion held in Marshfield in August,

passage Of the bill by this legislature
by which the people can go forward
and improve their harbors and inside
navigable channels without waiting
for the action OF congress in behalf
Of each OF these harbors. We espe-
cially commend 10 our delegation in

partment the duty of assisting the

 srNNINa rHE MILK cANs.

Wood. galvanized iron or any material that is rough or porous Is unfit for milk vessels.
 No important part of the dairy work is so often neglected as the cleaning of the milk utensils. IL cannot be too strongly emphasized that dairy uten- sils must after the milk is washed from the surface with warm water. be scaltled with boiling water or steam. Asthing short of this will insure clean milk. All miIk utensils should be sub leeted 10 sunlight or dry hot air after having been steamed or scalded.
 Care of milk during the first half hour after il is drawn from the udder counts for most. Warm milk is most susceptible te bad oders. and if not re- moved at once 1t rapidly absorbs the stable odorS: hence it should be aerat- cd te eliminate the auimai heat and placed in il we'll covered can in tank of cold water.
 All utensils used in handling the milk should be washed and sterilized and allowed to air before they are to be used again.

This. however, made a let of hard work every two weeks. and we like the sheet much better had this sheet made to order, and t gives each days milk for the entire herd and then each cows milk each day and total for the month. with average test for the month.
 We do not seem 10 havc any trouble in getting the men to weigh and reeord the milk. They seem to hc as willing to do that part of the work us any of +
 We test part of the milk every week or every two weeks ill the year 1 could not estimate the value it is 10 the man in the dairy business to weigh and test every individual COW. It surely Is worth many times what it costs. and l think there is nn other work that we can do on the farm that will pay so well. provided we are stu dents and will profit by what this work will bring out in the way of re turns from the feed and the results from certain lines of breeding
