Keeping Milk Sweet.

In some of the milk studies made at
the New York Agricultural Experiment
Station (Geneva), 1t was observed that
carbonic acid gas in the milk tended
to prevent its souring. This seemed
worthy of further investigation and a
series of tests was conducted In which
the gas was combined with the milk
under varying pressures. using the
ordinary soda water charges and seal
ing the bottles to retain the gas and
exclude the air. With the high or
pressures of gas, souring Of the milk
was delayed indefinitely; as bottles
charged under pressure of 175 pounds
to the inch remained sweet for five
months. The milk thus treated makes
an agreeable drink, and 1t Is believed
that the process will be valuable for
preserving milk for use on sea-going
vessels, in hospitals, and elsewhere.
Full details Of the tests are given in
Bulletin No. 800 of the station, which
may be obtained on application.

The farmers institute season is at
hand. Now, Mr.. Farmer. these meet
ings are for you. They are held for the
purpose Of bringing you and your neigh

The farmers Institutes were estab-
1ished for the same purpose as our ag-
ricultural colleges and experiment sta

cause of agricultural education Of
helping the man ON the farm better un-
derstand his business and thereby make
a greater success. The State speakers
are all thoroughly practical men and
women who have had experience In
what they talk about and are willing
to give help and information whenever
they can. But the success Of any farm
ers' institute meeting will depend upon
the farmers themselves whether they
will attend and take part in the pro-
grams. Enthusiasm is generally mark

astic body of men get together, there
