Carinq for Cream.

The dairy bureau Of the department
of agriculture at Washington recently
received letters from nearly 300
creameries, located in 81 states, in
which they report the amount of sour
or off-favored cream received to be
from 2 to 100 per cent. of the total re-
ceipts, and the average shows so per
cent. Of the cream to be of inferior
quality.
In order to overcome the great loss
necessarily sustained from the sale of
the butter made from poor cream. a
large number of creameries are now
buying cream and paying for 1t ac-
cording to quality. and they are re-
ceiving a premium for the finest but

1t is well known that milk absorbs
impurities.
Don't shut the cows from the stable

Don't breed heifers too young unless

Mixers should wash their hands
thoroughly before milking.
Never let cans of milk stand in the

Milk should be left in the bottle in

PROPER CARE OF CREAM
Excellent Plan Is to Have Shotgun
Can for Each Milking and deliver
Good, Clean Product

1t is useless to ask your butter
maker to turn out a first class product
with cream that has been abused be-
fore it is delivered.
OF course. the cream must be kept
cool all the time You cannot make
good product by keeping it in
warm room.
A better way to take care of the
cream is to have a shotgun can for
each milking. Just before going to
the factory, empty all this into the
shipping can and deliver a good, clean
product.
If you must keep the separator in
the barn. have a good. tight partition
making a clean. sanitary separator
room.
Harmful bacteria may be harbored
in the filth upon the walls and floor
of the separator room. See that there
is no filth there.

the COW gave and not how much fat.
The amount of butter fat is given be-
cause it is the real product of the

GETTING TIRED.
Fatigue That Follows Monotony Of
Work or Exercise.

Fatigue That Follows Monotony Of
Work or Exercise.
1t is said that for horses the hardest
road out of London is the most level
one. There are no hills to climb and
descend. and the tired horse has no
chance to rest one set Of muscles
while another works. MOnOtOny pro-
duces fatigue, and because this par
ticular road is one dead. mOnOtOnOus
level more horses die on it than on
any other leading out of London.
We can even take charitable view
of the time taken daily by the type
writer girl for the arrangement Of her
hair. Her fingers are cOngeSted by
the work of writing and tired by con-
tact with the hard keys of her ma
chine. and the different feeling of her
hair and the little plays and move
ments of her fingers in adjusting it
are distinct stimulation and relief.
Fatigue following long continued eX
erciSe is really a mild form Of illness
which arises from overeXerting some
one part Of the body. In writing, for
instance. the fingers move up ana
down hardly more than a quarter Of
an inch as they travel across the page.
Yet this is hard work for their little
muscles and burns up tissue in the
fingers very fast. If rest intervals are
too short and infrequent, there is not
time for the removal Of the waste
products of this destruction through
the normal channels Of the body and
congestion results. The feeling Of
fatigue or pain that follows long con-
tinued use Of any of the muscles is
due to the influence of such poisonous
material. as well as to the stretching
of the tissues caused by the pressure
Of the blood which settles there.-Paui

The term "Son of sea cook" is no
longer title of repr0ach. The highly
paid specialist who presides over the

tional reputation. The menu at the
end of the longest sea voyage gives no
indication that the ship has not been
supplied from land. Immense stores
of fresh meats. vegetables, fruits and
even flowers must be carried. The
kitchens are incredibly clean, with
their tiled floors. glass tables and
