1. Cooling milk out of contact with
the air is feasible and can be accom-
plished with minimum amount of
ice, which in this case amounted to
approximately one pound of ice for
every pound of milk.
2. The necessary stirring which
such cooling demands need only be
intermittent and should not be such
as to separate out the fat from the
milk.
3. By using as few containers as
possible many chances of error are
eliminated which in the case of in
spected or certified milk would be
considerable.

milk is very slow while in uncooled

STUMP FULLER DOES THE WORK.

Messrs. Editors: notice Mr..
Lea wants some ones experience as
to stump pullers and their work. I
will cheerfully give my experience.
About the first of November, 1910,
l wrote the Hercules Mfg. Co., Cen
terv1lle, Iowa. They made me
price of $109 on AA triple-power
steel puller, with 200 feet u steel
cable, power pulley and 12 feet l.
inch steel cable. Freight was SO; ali
told, the cost was $118. recommend
the Hercules puller to any one that
wants a stump puller. With the
proper hitch I can pull any stump.
II a little hard, spring a little with
dynamite and makes it easy. Like
Mr.. Poe, was little doubtful of its
work, but with the right hitch and a
good team the stump will come.

keeping the digestive organs in bet
ter condition and more free of
worms; but for this purpose an oc-
casional dose of turpentine in the
s1ops, or mixture of charcoal and
copperas, to which the hogs may run
and eat at will, should be more eff
fective. We suggest, as cheaper,
more effective and of less trouble,
the following: 2 bushels charcoal;
1 bushel hardwood ashes; 1 pound
copperas; 1 pound, common salt.
Chop the charcoal up into small
Jumps the size Of hickory nuts, pull
verize the copperas, mix all thor
oughly and place under shelter where
the hogs can eat as they want it.
Copperas will probably keep herd
reasonably free of round worms that
infest the intestines, if given at reg
ular intervals; but we would prefer
to give purgative of epson salts in
sweet milk, follow with fast of "a
to 48 hours, and then give a tea
spoonful of turpentine for every hun
dred pounds of hog, once day for

the charcoal and copperas constant
ly before the hogs.
We can find no definite data indi-
eating the length of time a pasture
must be kept free of hogs to insure
the destruction of all the eggs and
embryonic worms. The eggs pass
out OF the hogs with the manure.
These develop worms which seem to
remain in the shells until consumed
by other hogs, either through eating
or IN the drinking water. Probably
as much as a year would be required
to ensure the destruction of all these
eggs and embryonic worms, but as
stated, this is not based on definite
facts, as no one seems to have deter
mined the length of time the eggs
and embroyos will live.

COOLING MILK WITHOUT AERA-
TION.

LINN
In order to cool milk rapidly and
at the same time eliminate all
chances of contamination, it has been
found advisable to use as few con-
tainers as possible. The fact that
milk becomes contaminated in pro-
portion to the number of containers
that it passes through has long been
known; another means of contamina-
tion Is due to exposure to the air as
takes place in the .aerators in COM
mon use. Aerating in itself is of
little use since the animal odor
which it is supposed to remove is
largely due to dirt which should
never have been allowed to accumu-
late.
To show that milk does not ne
cessarily have to be cooled by means
of an aerator but that cooling out of
contact with the air will give the
same result with a lesser amount of
contamination, the following expert
ment was tried.
A milk can was immersed in a
tub of ice water, the temperature of
which was held at 40 degrees. A
strainer was placed in the top of the
can and the milk from each cow
poured directly into it. The neces-
sary agitation was secured by means
of a stirrer which remained in the
can An hours milking was neces-
sary to fill the can; 25 minutes after
the can was full the temperature of
the milk was reduced to As degrees.
Some of this milk was bottled and
delivered to the consumer in an iced
crate
Another can was MIXED under
identical conditions, but was not cool
ed, some of this was bottled and de-
livered to the consumer without, be-
ing iced
The efficiency of this method of
cooling was determined by making
bacterial counts of the milk in the
different stages of handling. Samples
of milk taken from the milk pals
averaged 5,375 bacteria per cubic
centimeter, or Is drops. AS soon as
the one can was cooled to As degrees
another sample was taken which
showed 12,200 per cubic centimeter
After the milk was bottled and de-
livered to the consumer the bacteria
in the cooled bottle had diminished
and only showed 11,200 per cubic
centimeter, while the milk that had
been delivered warm gave count Of
10000. After standing at refrigera
tor temperature for "a hours ths
cooled milk gave a bacterial coun
of 70,100 bacteria while the warn
bottle gave count of 100000 bac
terra per cubic centimeter.
Several conclusions can be drawr
from this experiment:

Yesterday they distributed the

Georgia Republicans
Endorse President Taft

Atlanta, Dec. 23,-The state cen
trail committee of the republican
party in Georgia will be held at the
senate Chamber in the capitol on
January End.
1t is foregone conclusion that
the committee will endorse Mr.. Taft
for president. AS has been recently
pointed out by Sam G. Blythe and
other political experts who have
visited the south Taft can get all
the republican support of this section
if he wants it.
The committee will decide on a
time and place for state republican
convention. Henry S. Jackson, OF
Atlanta. collector of Internal reve-
nue., and leader in the party in this
state, is quoted as saying that he
would like very much to see John
Hays Hamond chosen for vice preSi-
dent.
The state convention will prob
ably take place here, early in Feb
ruary.

Hunter Reprieved
At Last Moment
Was Preparing For Death When
Glad Message Came

Almost at the same moment that
Governor Slaton was signing an
order committing his sentence OF
death to life Imprisonment, j. G..
Hunter, the aged confederate veter-
an, who was convicted of the muir
der of his wife and two more Wom-
en-, and who was to have paid the
penaltay on the gallows today, was
preparing himself for death by
being baptized Yesterday in the jail
at Savannah.
The dispatch from Savannah tell
ing of Hunters baptism says.
Thinking that he was literally
standing upon the brink of the grave,
j. C. Hunter was baptized in the Jail
today by Rev. John S. Wilder, his
spiritual adviser.
1t was not until after this service
was performed that he was told of
his good luck at the hands of the
Governor. The man went into the
improvised baptismal pool thinking
he would be hanged. He did not
falter at any time in his assertion
of innocence, and after the ceremony
was over, and he was told that he
was not to be hanged, he seemed
much relieved, but is still of the
opinion that he is entitled to a full
pardon"
Hunter was convicted several
months ago of killing his wife, a
Mrs. Gribble, and a Mrs. Chandler
all of whom were in the house of
Hunters wife, from whom he had
been separated.
The evidence was all circum-
Stantlal. A negro name BOOKER was
also charged with the crime, but
was acquitted and another negro
named Bryant was alleged to have
confessed to the killing but his con-
fessiOn was disregarded by the state
on the ground that he was crazy.
Governor Slaton granted the COM
mutation because the evidence was
circumstantial, because numerous
prominent citizens and peace officers
of Chatham county had declared
their belief in Hunters innocence
and because the prison commission
unanimously recommended that the
death sentence be not imposed.
