Yes; It's too bad" agreed the

There cnsucd an ominous pause.

tlously, "telephoninE seems to be a

People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone

HOW To KILL BACTERIA
BY A. c. Page Of the Agricultural
College Of Missouri, Urver-
sity Of Missouri.

Everyone knows that milk will keep
longer If It is kept cold than it will II
II is warm. How many however,
know just why this Is? The cXplana.
tlon is fairly simple
MIR as It Is ordinarily drawn, in
an open bucket with particles of dirt
and dust falling in contains n large
number of bacteria. These are of all
kinds, and some are harmful and some
are not. One kind, the Tactic acid bac-
terra, grows faster than the others do
in the fresh warm milk, and soon null
tIplies in numbers. Every half hour,
in fresh warm milk, these bacteria
Just double their number
Figure how many there will be in
two or three hours II there are ten or
fifteen thousand per cubic centimeter
in the beginning. And this is a small
number compared to those that may
be in very dirty milk.
These Tactic acid germs are not
harmful to the human body, but they
cause the milk to sour They eat up
the sugar which is in the milk, and
change It into Tactic acid, from which
they get their name. This acid Is
what you taste as the sour part in
sourcd milk.
The curdllng OF the milk is caused
indirectly by this first process.
The important thing about these
bacteria is that as soon as the milk
is cold they almost stop growing, and
If IL becomes very cold they almost die
out.
To keep the milk sweet, then, II is
necessary to get 1t cooled off as soon
as possible after milking. If there is
much milk to handle, II will pay to use
one of the many "aerators" which are
on the market. These are really only
coolers. MIX set away in a large can
or Jar will stay warm a long time. For
a small amount of milk probably tho
best way is TO set It in shallow tin
pans in cold water.

ECONOMY IN 'ROuGHING"
BY {. A. Trowbridge, Assistant Pro-
lessor Of Animal Husbandry, Col.
iege Of Agriculture, u. OF M.

Economy Is great factor in caring
for the work stock other than brood
mares, and should be considered care
fully so long as II does not interfere
with their working capacity or health.
The kind and amount Of work to be
performed will have considerable
weight in fixing the ration to be fed
During the summer, which Is the sea
son of hardest work on the farm, a
ration Of the highest possible eff.
cheney Is practical. 1t should consist
Of comparatively large proportion of
concentrates. For horses doing farm
work, corn and oats half and half is
an efficient grain ratlcn when fed with
timothy and clover used az roughage.
Corn and bran, one half each, give
oats are not available Alfalfa in lin.
tied quantities may be fed to horses
doing ordinary farm work, but should
be fed In connection with timothy.
For light horses doing road work, corn
must be fed IN very limited quantities
Roadsters and drivers do very well on
n ration Of five parts oats. one part
bran, and timothy hay. The proper
ton of hay should be comparatively
small.
During the winter, when there is
not much work to be done about the
farm. the ration for work horses may
be materially decreased. "Roughing"
horses throuSl the winter has come
20 be common practice. To be kept
through the winter this way horses
should be given a shed for shelter,
preferably one opening to the south.
AS a feed, 1t was found at the Utah
experiment station that alfalfa alone
was sufficient for maintenance. Well
cured clover hay with some corn fod-
der stalk and ears) may be used, but
q small amount of grain is advisable.
Timothy hay and corn stover is not
satisfactory ration for roughing
horses through the winter. They need
protein, which may be supplied in the
form OF some leguminous crop. Horses
that have been treated In this way
should be given grain and exercise at
least six weeks before being put to
work.

BLUFFS AND PLAYS DEAD.
But There's a Fatal Flaw In the Hoo
Nosed Snakes Aetna,

When you find hog nosed snake

fety to absorb all the sunshine that he
can he immediately adopts a policy of
bluff" He first initiates his body by
a deep daft of air. Then he hattens
his head and expands his neck 10 three
times Its proper width Next he strikes
angrily toward the intruder and Kisses
with malignant fury. The average
pedestrian naturally retreats with q
feeling OF gratitude for the danger sig.
nails so Enthusiastically imprinted by q
kindly Providence upon the deadly
members of the reptile race.
good field naturalist will quietly
advance his bare hand to the reptiles
head. because he knows that this snake
can neither be induced to give poi.
sonous bite nor bite of any kind. See.
ing that the observer cannot be In
timidated. the snake then opens his
jaws and acts os II he had been In
Jured. Convulsive spasms ripple down
his spine. He writhes and twists as
II transplanted by the agonies of death,
and. turning over on his back. the last
convulsion dies away along the tail.
Now. nothing in nature looks more
dead than snake lying with the ivory
white of his belly plates turned upward
to the sky. and the hog nosed snake will
simulate death so patiently that you
may carry him by the tail or hang his
body on fence and he will swing In
the wind and give no sign Of life for
an hour or more.
But this clever acting has one fatal
naw. II you place him on the ground
with the belly downward he will twist
over on his back again. He has such
q fixed idea that belly plates skyward"
