WHAT MILK INSPEC-
TION REALLY MEANS

1t is very commonly supposed
that the whole duty of a food
inspector is to condemn and to
prosecute. This should not be
the case, for perfect harmony
should exist between the milk
man and the inspector. If this
is not true, the whole purpose
will be missed.
The inspector must be prepared
to suggest improvements and to
oversee the methods of the pro
duction and delivery of milk
until a pure article of food is
placed upon the market.
True, there are prejudices to
be over come, animosities to be
reconciled, and many misunder-
standings to be rectified. But
when discord is thrown aside,
then inspector and producer
may exert their energies in com
mon direction to fight common
foe.
1t is now generally known
that bacteria take an active part
in making milk unfit for food.
Souring, bad odors, and bitter
ness are usually due to some
form of micro-organism.
Then, every possible procedure
must be adopted to exclude for
cign material, which may carry
with it millions of bacteria. The
thing to impress upon people in
general is the minuteness Of these
organisms. 1t must be remem-
bered that millions of these
little fellows exist in drop of
milk or water.
Of course, live steam is highly
important in cleansing milk
bottles. The ordinary rag is a
seething mass of bacteria.
Keep the dust out of the COW
barn as much as possible. All
shelves should be busted every
day; also the tops of stanchions
and benches.
The COW should first be brushed
with a common stable brush; then
rs the milker sits down to milk,
he should wipe the flank and the
udder with a clean, damp rag.
The clothes of the mixer
should be used only for the pur-
pose of milking, and no other,
and, of course, should be clean.
The pail should be partially
covered.
Lime is a good agent to sprin-
kle about the barn.
The milk should be cooled as
quickly as possible.

could not prevail with a heavy
and permanent deposit of snow.
The mountains it is true get
and retain the snow, and from
these accumulations our moisture
is derived to serve crops dur
ing the period of irrigation, but
so far as the valley is concerned
the snowfall is extremely light,
and what there is soon disap-
pears under the melting rays Of
the sun.
The growing or crop season, is
shorter than it is in many agri-
cultural localities, but even so,
there is always ample time to ma
ture crops, and failure to mature,
is a condition that no farmer
has yet been called upon to face.
The prevailing winds in the val
ley are from west to east, and
the wind period, and there is one,
begins in the spring, usually in
the month of March, and runs a
course of in the neighborhood of
sixty days.
Mnen the snow begins to melt
in the mountains, air currents are
altered by this change of season,
and until this condition becomes
settled, we get wind in the valley.
These winds however, while dis
agreeable during the short time
that they prevail, are not dis
tructive, for they are not suf-
ficiently violent to injure growing
crops; and buildings, fences,
stacked grain or hay pass through
them without damage. After this
period has passed, the most ideal
weather conditions obtain until
year hence.
The season of natural rain fall
usually commences early in the
month o. July, though all sea-
sons are not alike in this respect,
for instance the season of 1910,
the rainy period did not commence e
until late in the month of July,
and extended the time well along
in the month of August; this rain
fall is a regular annual visitor,
does not interfere with harvest
ing, and yet at a time when the
washing of growing crops is bene-
ficial to their maturity.
Farmers who have been raising
cereal in the valley for the
past twenty years, bear witness
to the fact that these rain storms
are not accompanied by des-
tructive winds, and hail storms
have yet to establish a record of
devastation.
This is not a tropical country,
if it were there would be less
in the way of natural advantages
to call to the attention of the pub
lie, as there is not as much in the
way of diversified agriculture as
can be found north of the frost
belt, and this condition attaches
even though you follow that line
until it encircles the globe.
Plant life and men, are more
hardy within the frost belt, than
those raised under tropical con-
and when the progress
of the human race is studied un-
der the light of history, achieve
ment shows the greatest record
on tho pages that have been writ
ten, north of that line.
In closing this article on the
climate of the San Luis Valley,
it is within the limits of truth to
say, that it has much in its favor
and but little to criticise.
Healthful to the well man, and
a haven of hope to the pulmonary
invalid, whose life has been de-
clared forfeited under the climatic
conditions that gave birth to his

ped most of the year, insure per-
feet sleeping conditions, and
where person can rest and sleep
at night, you enter the next day
refreshed.
The trouble with a humid eli
mate is that the nights are worse
than the days, and when the SUI
ferlng millions of the East are
struggling under torrid condi-
tions, that attach to their locality
both night and day, we can pity
but we cannot sympathize, as SYM
pathy is the outgrowth of similar
conditions, and we do not have
them here.
The next subject directly bear
ing on health, is the quantity and
quality of the drinking water,
and in this particular the valley
is most fortunate.
The domestic water supply is
not river or ditch water, which
is the only source of supply in
many arid sections, but artesian
water of absolute purity, abun-
dant in quantity, and available
for use without the necessary
pumping devices to raise it to the
surface, as the flow is so strong,
that it readily supplies with ade-
quate pressure the second story
of all buildings where its use is
so required.
The temperature of this water
remains the same throughout the
year, but varies with the differ
ent depths at which wells are
sunk. a stratum of water encount-
cred at from one hundred and
fifty feet to five hundred feet
in depth, will be colder than a
flow tapped at greater depth.
This evenness of temperature
has more of Importance than ap-
pears at first glance, for instance
no farmer needs to be told that
cattle, horses, sheep or other
animals, will thrive better where
the quality of the water and its
temperature is always the same,
and here you can control the lat
ter by the depth of the well.
The same principle works on
human species, and disturbance
resulting from drinking water, is
often traceable to varying tenn
perature, as well as its quality,
and here nature has solved both
conditions for the advantage and
comfort of the race.
The San Luis Valley has a win
ter, and in this latitude and alti-
tude we should expect it.
There are days in winter when
at early morning the glass shows
as low as twenty five degrees be-
low zero, but there are not many
of them, and the dryness of the
atmosphere makes them less
noticeable, than zero weather ac-
companied by moisture.
The statement is here made
without fear of successful contra
diction, that there is not sin
gle day in winter that the tempe.
ature will not rise above freez-
ing, and that this statement may
carry conviction, any snow fall
does not remain any considerable
length of time, and cattle, sheep

ADVANTAGES OF CLIMATE
OF THE SAN LUIS VALLEY
BY HON. FRED d. STANLEY.
OF ALAMOSA

So much has been written and
printed concerning the splendor
and advantages of the climate of
Colorado, that at first glance it
would seem idle to again assemble
facts bearing on the same sub
ieet, and yet the writer ventures
the opinion that the subject will
never be exhausted, and no writ
er has yet paid a greater tribute
to the state on this score than
the facts amply justify.
Again in contributing n series
of articles on the San Luis Val
ley, and omit specific mention of
its climatic conditions, would be
akin to a rendition of Hamlet,
with the title role omitted from
the cast.
The days of sunshine in this
valley, taken one year with an
other, will average three hundred
and twenty days out of the
three hundred and sixty five,
and in many of those remaining
forty five days, the sun will al
ternate with the clouds in a con
test for supremacy.
The altitude of the valley, ap-
proximately seven thousand and
five hundred feet, is such thai
the atmospheric conditions are
of the best, due to the fact that
the atmosphere is less dense by
twenty per cent than obtains at
sea level.
Add to this the arid condition
of the country, and the results
are that we do not encounter
humid or hazy conditions, either
of which have a depressing in
fluence on the temperament of
people living under those condi-
tions.
The first and most important
condition to be studied by people
who are casting about for a
location, is climatic, for en-
bodied in that condition are to
be found the elements that oper-
ate favorably or unfavorably on
the subject of health.
1t requires no scientific argu-
ment to prove that in a land of
sunshine, disease has the least
possible opportunity to become
seated, for conditions adverse to
good health, lurk in localities
and places where the sun does
not shine, and if the opportunity
for disease to germinate is de-
MED, then indeed have you con
ditions favorable to bodily health.
In the sun during the heated
portion of the day, that is when
the sun is at or near the merid-
ian, the temperature shows be-
tween ninety and one hundred
degrees, but the effect on human
beings is never such as to cause
distress or suffering, and sun
strokes in this valley are un-
known.
Again the nights here are al
ways COO every day in the year,
as the altitude, and the further
fact that the valley is surround
ed by lofty mountains, snow cap
