the milk with the hair, bits of feces,
and dust that fall into the milk in
the barn.
Milk is an excellent medium for the
growth of Tactic acid bacteria, and un-
der favorable temperature conditions
they multiply with astonishing rapid
ity.
The acidity of the milk is so close
ly connected with the life processes Of
this group Of bacteria that it may be
taken as rough measure of their de-
velopment. The acid. as fast as it is
formed, unites chemically with the
casein, which exists as very fine par
ticles suspended In the milk serum.
AVhen the acid reaches certain per
~eent. the acid casein is precipitated
and the milk is said to have "curdled"
of "clabbered." This result may be
hastened by heating. II milk or cream
that is slightly sour is added to hot
coffee, or is otherwise heated, it cur
dies.
Milk which has undergone a strict
ly Tactic acid fermentation has a firm
curd, free from gas bubbles and with
a small amount of whey on the sur
face. When shaken the curd breaks
up into small particles which settle
slowly, leaving clear whey. The milk
should have pleasant acid taste. So
far as is known. none Of the products
of the bacteria of this group is of a
poisonous nature.
Some of the bacteria commonly
classed with Tactic acid bacteria form
acids other than Tactic. together with
large quantities of gas. Milk curdled
by bacteria of this class shows gas
bubbles and has disagreeable taste.
The Tactic acid bacteria not only are
able to grow in an acid medium, but to
certain point the acid is a favorable
influence. Many bacteria, however,
find the acid detrimental to their de.
velopment and are not able to grow
long in milk in competition with lac,
tic acid bacteria. When the milk be.
gins to taste sour the growth of nearly
all nonacid-forming bacteria is
checked. The activity of the Tactic
acid bacteria themselves is checked
and finally ceases entirely when the
Weid reaches a certain concentration,
which varies with different varieties.
Consequently sour milk usually con.
tains nearly pure culture OF one or
at most two or three closely related
varieties of bacteria.
While the Tactic acid bacteria are
considered very beneficial in butter
and cheese making, they are undesir.
able bacteria from the standpoint
of the milk dealer or consumer. 1t
is almost out of the question absolute
ly to prevent their presence in milk,
but the initial number may be much
reduced by observing a few simple
rules of cleanliness in handling the
milk. Every precaution which re.
duces the amount of dirt in milk re-
duces the number of bacteria CORE
spondingly. The important factors here
are freedom from dust at time of milk
ing, brushing the cows, wiping the nd
ders, and small-mouthed milk pals.
1t is also Of great Importance to cool
the milk as soon as possible after
milking to below the temperature at
which Tactic acid bacteria grow rapid
ly. This temperature Is controlled by
practical conditions, such as the tenn
perature of the water available for
cooling, but 1t should not be higher
than so degrees Fahrenheit

MAYORRECRETs
PARK. DEFEAT !:

Mayor N. S. Pratt, Rev. w. u
Hindley, Gordon c. Corbaley and
other speakers discussed the park
question at a meeting of the Fifth
Ward Improvement club held last
night in Pilgrim Congregational
church. All regretted the defeat of
the proposed $1,O00,000 bond issue
for parks and seemed to think that
the city council would under the
new charter amendment as to park
bonds give the park commission all
the funds needed for the acquisi-
ton of park lands.
Mayor Pratt said that in the city
election there was a sentiment that
the big issue of park bonds was
backed by real estate promoters,
and that if the park board had
taken the people more into it's con-
fidence the park bonds might have
prevailed. He said that the pro-
posed bond issue when floated for
a long period of years at four per
cent interest would not have cost
the average householder over so
cents per year for interest charges
and that the coming generation,
which would be benefited by the
parks more than the present one,
could look after the payment of the
principal.
Gordon c. Corbaley said that it
would be impossible for the park
commission to announce where it
intended to locate the proposed
parks for the reason that should
this have been done real estate
values would be enhanced to an
unwarranted degree.

tax and puts the collar on him she
is protected by the law from the

how a mother can protect her boy ?
She went down to the gates of
death to give him birth; she counts
this as naught for the joy that a

over him sleeping or waking;
warns him of the dangers of the

not. Ere the blush of youth has
left his cheeks she has seen him

that woman buys a ranch. goes
into sheep raising, instead of rails

Wool growers are protected, and
if the wolves should abound our
government would pay so much a
head for their destruction; but the
destroyer of our souls is protected
by law-his business Is legalized.

TR0TTER WILL

Melvin e. Trotter widely known
Grand Rapids missioner, and who
won himself good will from Spo-
kane citizens for his work at the
close Of the Billy Sunday meetings,
has accepted the invitation of the
Spokane churches to come to this
city May 80 and inaugurate a res

Messrs. Sillaway of Milwaukee
and Bush Of Grand Rapids will ac-
company Mr.. Trotter. At the re-
quest of the ministerial association
that he secure a suitable superin-
tendent for the mission, Mr., Trot-
ter has chosen for this position Mr.
Bush, who has been associated
with him six years in Michigan.
1t is planned to hold two great
mass meetings in the armory on
May 80, afternoon and evening.
The meetings will he evangelistic
and time will be given to taking
subscriptions for the annual
budget Several business men
have already intimated willingness
to subscribe 500 a year to the
cause. Following the Sunday meet
ings on Monday II business men,
representing as many denomina-
tions, will be chosen to constitute
board of trustees. These will Or
ganize and formally summon Mr.
Bush to the superintendency of the
mission. The mission will thus be-
come not rival OF any church, but

lected sections. The location is
likely to be near the pawnshop and
saloon districts.
