These simple plants known as bac-
terra, however. under favorable condi-
tions may complete their growth and
reproduce themselves In less than an
hour.
The relation of bacteria to tempera-
ture is most interesting and important
A certain amount of heat is essential
and a certain amount is fatal Each
particular variety of bacteria has an
upper and lower temperature limit
beyond which 1t does not grow and
certain temperature, called the op-
timum. at which 1t grows best.
Most forms occurring In milk find
their optimum temperature between 80
and 98 degrees Fahrenheit Few bac-
terra grow at all above 100 degrees and
at 125 degrees the weaker ones soon
die. An exposure of ten minutes at
to nearly all bacteria which do not
form spores. Spores, as previously
mentioned. are destroyed only by pro-
longed boiling. exposure to steam un-
der pressure, or to high degree of
dry heat. With dry heat. such as is
obtained in an oven. much higher tenn
perature and longer exposures are nee
essary to secure the same results. In
the laboratory small TASKS of milk are
sterilized by holding them in small
steam boiler at temperature OF 24S
degrees Fahrenheit for is minutes.

ROOSEVELT PARTY SAILS
ON AFRICAN EXPEDITION

Uganda to the Nile will be begun 1t
is expected that the White Nile will
be reached about the first of the year
1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be
touched at Kibira
In general way the course of the
Nile will be followed to Gondokoro.
and thence to Khartoum At this city
Mr.. Roosevelt and Kermit will be
Joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will
continue down the Nile slowly to
Cairo, visiting many points OF interest
on the way.
Roosevelt in Europe.
Plans for the remainder OF the ex-
presidents two years tour have not
been decided upon definitely. but the
time will be spent in Europe. and sew
eral matters of Importance have been
announced. He will visit Berlin at the
invitation OF Emperor William and
while there will deliver an address
upon the one hundredth anniversary
of the founding of the University of
Berlin.
From Germany he viii go to France
and deliver an address at the Sor-
bonne. 1t has not been learned how
long Mr.. Roosevelt intends to stay in
Berlin and Paris. After his visit in
France. Mr.. Roosevelt will go to Eng
land. where a reception of great
warmth undoubtedly will be accorded
to him. He has accepted an invitation
to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ok
ford university and in all probability
the honorary degree of ID. c. L.. which
Oxford has bestowed on Emperor Will
lam. will be conferred ON Mr.. Roose-
velt
The versatility of Mr.. Roosevelt will
be shown by the fact that he will
speak German in his address before
the students of the University of Ber-
lin, French in his lecture at the Sor-
bonnie, and English in delivering the
Romanes lecture at Oxford.

who cheered him as he st-nd at the

Mr.. Roosevelt will go via Gibraltar
to Naples, where he will board a
steamer of the German East African
line for Kilindini harbor. the port of
Mombasa. At the latter place the
party will be Joined by r. j. Gun

One OF the objects OF Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip is for the purpose
of collecting material for writing sew

During last summer he contracted with
Charles Scribner's Sons, OF New York,
giving that Arm all the rights for the

estate near Nairobi and his big, lux
urious farmhouse will be headquarters
for about six months while the hunt
ers and scientists make trips of vary
ing length in all directions. II is in
this section that Mr.. Roosevelt hopes
to obtain most of his specimens. for
it abounds with animals of all kinds.
The smaller mammals will be trapped.
The supplies OF the party are packed
in tin-lined boxes. These boxes when
they have been emptied will be used
as packing cases for the various speci-
mems. Many valuable natural history
specimens have been spoiled by ants
and other insects. it has been found
from experience on other expeditions,
and it is to guard against this that
the tin-lined boxes are being taken
along.
To Ship Back Specimens.
When the specimens have been pre-
pared they will be carefully packed in
the boxes and shipped to Nairobi,
where they will be forwarded to the
United States. One of the taxider-
mists will always be with Mr.. Roose-
welt, and as soon as any big game is
shot by him 1t will be skinned and
prepared on the spot.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be greatly dis
appointed If he fails to kill several
specimens of the white rhinoceros.
This animal is the same as the square
mouthed-rhinoceros and is the nearest
living ally to the type OF the extinct
Tichorine or woolly rhinoceros which
lived in England at the close of the
Glacial period.

party will proceed by the Uganda
railway to Port Florence. on the

probably OF little practical Importance,
but it may have some relation to the
comparatively slow development OF
macteria in the udder.
The real contamination occurs after
the milk has left the udder. In spite
OF careful milking, dirt, particles OF
dust, hairs, even bits of manure from
the TANKS or udder OF the COW may
fall into the milk All of these things
Invariably carry more or less bacterial
contamination. Manure usually con-
tains large numbers of bacteria, many
OF them being kinds which produce
very undesirable changes in milk: and
the dry dust of the stable floor con-
bacteria. This dust soon settles, and
an open milk pail catches surpris-
ingly large amount.
But the contamination does not end
here. The pals or the cans may not
be properly cleaned and the corners or
seams may hold small particles of
dirt or sour milk. These impurities
are full OF bacteria, which quickly find
their way into the milk. The cloth
through which the milk is strained
may not have been properly scalded.
and the bacteria are not only not all
destroyed, but have actually multiplied
in the damp cloth. When the strainer
Is used again many of these bacteria
are washed out by the milk.

The Individual Hen.-Bear In mind
that there is more In the individual
hen than in the breed. This has been
proven by the trap-nest. Beginners
frequently blame the breed for failure
when the fault is really with them

cause eggs are 40 cents dozen and
hens are not laying Is no reason why
the breed of hens should be changed.
Perhaps the heps are non-productive
or they have not been properly fed or

What the bacteria lack in size is
made up in their great numbers and
powers OF reproduction. A cubic cent?
meter of milk, which contains about 25
drops. frequently contains thousands.
sometimes millions. even hundreds of
millions, OF bacteria. A single drop
of sour milk may contain 100000 900
bacteria.

very simple process. known as fissiou.

rev streams of milk. Sometimes. how
ever, the growth may extend into the
smaller milk ducts. and the last part
OF the milk will contain nearly as
many bacteria as the first.
Inflammation of the udder or fermen-
tation of the milk in the udder rarely
occurs, because there is only very
small amount Of milk held in the I'D
oer, and most of the bacteria found
there have little or nc effect on milk.
II Is also true that fresh milk, like the
blood. contains some substance which
mas an inhibiting influence ON bacteria.
This influence is SO slight that 1t is

ties in which the milk is distributed
may not have been properly washed
and steamed. and thus may become an
other source of contamination.
The contamination from each indi.
vidual source may be small, but taken
all together 1t has a serious influence
on the quality of the milk. II ex-
traordinary precautions are taken to
prevent contamination. the number OF
bacteria in the fresh milk may be kept
down to few hundred per cubic cen
timeter: with careful milking II may
easily be kept within few thousand;
with careless milking and handling the
number will vary greatly with circum.
stances and may exceed 100000.
The bacteria in milk from COWS
kept in stables may be different from
the bacteria from cows on pasture.
Bacteria which occur rarely in milk
during the winter months may become
numerous In the summer, and specific
lamentations which are almost un.
known in the summer may appear In
the autumn or winter.
1t should not be assumed that all
bacteria are harmful either to milk or
to the human system. In fact, many
kinds of bacteria will grow in milk for
a long time without changing its taste
or appearance. while many OF the fer.
mentations which make milk undesIr-
able for direct consumption are used
In making butter and various kinds OF
cheese. Very few OF the bacteria
cause disease or produce poisonous by
