CARING FOR MILK PRoPERLY Y
Crusade Against House Fly One Of
Best Moves In Recent Years In
Sanitary Matters.

P. M. Harwood, of the dairy bureaL.
United States department of agricul-
ture, pointed out that the producer
and dealer are well informed about
the rules Of cleanliness and are CON-
PEELED by law to conform to them In
the handling OF milk. but the consul
mer has much to learn In this respect
He said that the crusade against the
house fly Is one Of the best moves
of recent years in sanitary matters be-
cause the fly is dirty and contami-
mates the milk unless there is proper
care, and as general rule the house
keeper Is not aware Of the danger
from flies. Nine rules for the care Of
milk were suggested, as follows:
/. Take In milk and cream as soon
as possible after being left at your
door and place in the refrigerator.
2. Keep milk and cream cold until
ready for use. The bottom of the re-
frigerator is colder than the fee con-
tainer.
8. II ice cannot be had, wrap the
bottle in a wet cloth and stand II In
dish Of water by an open window,
out of the sun; evaporation of the
water will cool the milk.
4. Keep milk or cream covered un-
til wanted, and In the bottle In which
1t is delivered In open bowls or pitch
ers they will absorb odors from food
and collect flies and dust.
5. Pour from the bottle only what
milk or cream is needed for immedI-
ate use.
6. Milk q cream that has become
warm should never be poured back
into the bottle of cold milk.
7. Utensils used for milk should be
cleansed with cold water and then
with boiling water, thoroughly drained
and allowed to become cold before be-
ing filled with milk.
8. Wash and return all milk or
cream bottles daily.
Q. Have a separate quart Of milk
for the baby; what he does not use
others may have.

BIRDS AND FRuIT INDUSTRY.
seathered Denlzens Destroy Great
Numbers of Harmful insects and
Noxious Seeds.

The United States Department of
Agriculture. having concluded it's In
vestigations as to the harmful or bene-
ficial effect of California birds upon
the fruit industry OF that state, has
issued the second and final part of
Its report In Bulletin No. "a of the
Biological Survey. Seventy species
of the feethered denizens, among
them some of the most important
birds OF the state from the farmers
and fruit growers standpoint. were
Systematically investigated. It is
true that many Of them have not been
charged with the destruction or In
jury Of fruit or any other farm prod
uct, but as almost all destroy great
numbers of harmful insects, or devour
seeds of noxious weeds, they are Inn
portant as factor In farm economics,
and the aim has been to collect all
data possible on the food of the sew
eral species, SO that Just verdict
might be rendered as to the birds
economic relations.
Few birds are always and every
where so destructive that their exter.
mination can be urged on sound eco
nomic principles; some, like the swal-
lows, swifts. wrens, and chickadees,
are SO strictly insectivorous that they
are exceedingly beneficial, while 9th
ers may injure crops at certain times
Of the year, but the loss is exceedingly
small, and If by its insectivorous
habits the bird prevents much greater
destruction than 1t tnflicts. the farmer
should be willing to bear the lesser
loss.
A reasonable way of viewing the re-
lation Of birds to the farmer is to
consider them as servants, employed
to destroy weeds and insects, for
whom sufficient food and needed pro-
lection is generously provided. In the
long run. no part of the capital in
vested in the farm or orchard Is more
certain to pay big interest than the
small sum collected as toll by the
birds that harbor near the premises.
Deductions from the extensive investi.
cations undertaken In response to
numerous complaints concerning dep
relations by birds in orchards and
vineyards on the Pacific coast, show
that the food habits Of the seventy
species, whose stomach G"uttlts were
under examination, indicate that but
four species common in California can
be regarded as Of doubtful utility.
These are the linnet, California jay,
stellar Jay, and red-breasted sapsuck-
er. Therefore, when all the known
methods of protecting fruit have been
exhausted, or can not be profitably
employed, a reasonable reduction OF
the numbers of these offending birds
is permissible; but the more the food
habits Of birds are studied. the more
evident Is the fact that with normal
distribution Of species and fair sup
ply of natural food, the damage to
agricultural products py birds is small
as compared with the benefit

THE HIGH SCHOOL "FRATs."

The Columbia school board is op-
posed to fraternities and sororities
among the high school students. 1t
will graduate no member of these So
cieties. and it will not allow them to
receive any school honors. 1t has
not arbitrarily banished the societies,
but it has placed such restrictions
upon their members that the societies
must soon cease to exist This man.
will be less offensive to the students,
and is very likely to be just as enec-
tive in its result.
The influence of fraternities in high
schools is almost always detrimental
to good scholarship. This has been
the case in many large cities. Fra
ternities in the Columbia High School
are undesirable That the members
of the high school societies would
follow the example of the fraternities
in the University OF Missouri is GER
tain. And therein lies the increased
danger.
Even to the man or woman slightly
familiar with the purposes and at
tainments of fraternities in the Uni
versity, the characteristics first OBJ
served are the ones OF least value.
And these most obvious character
istics. the ones which are of no real
value. are often the only ones seen
by the high school student In fact,
if all the purposes of fraternities4 in
the University were pointed out to
the high school student, it is doubt
ful if he would understand the ones
really worth while.

THE STUDENT AND CHRISTMAS.

The return home for Christmas will
be a strange and in some cases a
disappointing experience for some
students. The old home will seem
plain the town and neighborhood life
less and the old neighbors dull and
uninteresting The University opens
up to the student a new world and
unless he returns home with the
right attitude toward things and peo-
pie he will be glad when the vaca-
tion is over.
To the student who has come to
understand the real meaning OF Uni
versity life, the Christmas holidays
will be welcomed as an opportunity
of carrying this spirit TO those who
are less fortunate. To those who
have a real appreciation of the values
OF life. University course heads the
list.
The University student should re-
turn home with heart :ull of graft
tude for his superior opportunity
and with desire TO bring TO others
the ideals of Mssouri's great Uni
versity Don't be odd or critical
Show the folks at home that your stay
at the University has enriched your
life and has brought you into sympa-
thy with every other man and woman
in the world Remember that Christ
mas is not a day or season but a
condition of heart and mind" Even
though you can not take to each of
your friends a picture of the columns.
you can take that cheer and good
will that is the only gift worth the
giving.
