THAWS FROZEN
RIVER MAINS

Every day electricity is called up
on to accomplish some new task of
giant proportions and, in nearly ev-
cry case, the work is done. Only a
few days ago the big water main
leading from East 140th street, New
York, to North Brothers island, was
thawed out by electricity after it had
been frozen for over a month. At low
tide this main was partially exposed
to the severe winter weather and it
was quickly frozen solid, defying all
attempts to thaw it out. As a result
the island was soon suffering from a
water famine. Water carts were
pressed into service and water ferried
across.
AS a last resort electricity was
tried and after five days steady ap-
plication the main was completely
thawed out. This was the first work
of its kind ever attempted. Water
mains under ground have been sue
cessfully thawed by electricity but a
main buried under from sixty to sew
enty feet of water was quite a diff
ferent proposition. Twenty years ago
this same water main was frozen and
1t had to be relaid for it's entire
length at an enormous cost.
After all attempts to force water
through the frozen main had failed
the Edison company was begged to
try electricity. The frozen pipe rests
on the bottom of the East river, and
when the first Few lengths near shore
froze up the ice crawled along the
entire length of the main. After be-
ing connected with the company's
electrical mains the current was
turned on and the recording instru-
ments showing that the pipe was re-
ceiving $50 amperes at a pressure of
200 volts. This current was gradu-
ally increased to 1900 amperes before
the pipe began to steam at the end on
the Bronx shore. Soon the pumps
were able to force a small stream of
water through the main and in few
hours more the water was running a
steady stream, evidencing that the ice
was all melted.

METHODS OF CONTROLLING OR
COMBATING THE ANT

Common ants are sometimes SER
ious pest, both In and out of doors
The entomonologist of the experiment
station at Pullman, gives the follow
ing advice as to methods of controll-
ing or combating them:
The surest way Of preventing in
jury by ants is to destroy their nests.
Usually the nests can be readily
found, but If there is any difficulty,
a little watching of where the ants
travel will show where the nest is To-
Gated. If the nests are out in the
field. punch few holes with stick
in the nests and place a couple of
tablespoons of carbon disulphide in
each hole, covering up Immediately
with the foot so as to throw a cap
ping of dirt into the hole. The fumes
of carbon disulphide are very heavy
and will rapidly pass through the
nests, filling all the chambers and
suffocating the ants. This LIQUID
can be purchased at the drug store
Care must be taken in using it as 1t
is extremely inflammable like gaso-
line. ,leva1s~a 1arra n-gjm..E
This method answers much better
than using ashes or boiling water,
which are usually unsuccessful in ex-
terminating the ants. agalfN uu ba0
Ants in houses can be trapped to a
sponge moistened with sweetened wa
ter. When many ants congregate on
the sponge they can be destroyed by
little boiling water from the tea
kettle. e~a baa sfotftf1 m g5fps4g
II ants crawl up fruit trees and de-
stroy the blossoms or young shoots
they can be- kent from doing this by
tying a fluffy band Of cotton around
the trunks. Ants will not walk over
fluffy cotton unless they are very ex-
cited. fBGeE sa166 HzEh sE yEao

KEEPING CREAM SWEET

AS the warm season comes on, thu
difficulty of keeping cream sweet OF
the farm becomes greater. Tit
rancher is busy putting In his croI
and is liable to neglect taking hi
cream to market as often as he
should, consequently the cream is moi
in good condition when 1t reaches the
creamery or ice crea mfectory. Many
times the rancher is also negligent
in the care of the cream when he is
busy in the field.
Then too, the cream requires extra
good care in the warm season. High
temperature promotes the growth of
germs in the cream which in turn
causes the souring. There are two
main factors to consider in keeping
cream sweet The first the cleanli-
ness the other is low temperature.
To these might be added third,
which also plays some part in the
souring, namely, the per cent of but
ter fat in the cream.
When filth gets into milk or cream,
there are innumerable germs intro
duced, which If left to develop at
proper temperature multiply very
The less filth in the cream,
the longer it will remain sweet This
emphasizes the need of absolute
cleanliness in the handling of milk
and cream.
Low temperature tends to check
the development of the germs and
thus retard the souring of the cream.
1t is important that the cream be
cooled down at once after it comes
from the separator. At any rate, the
morning cream should always be
cooled before being added to the
cream of the evening previous.
The richness of the cream has an
effect upon the souring. Cream with
a high per cent of butter fat does not
sour SO quickly as thin cream. The
souring of cream is caused by the
action of germs on the milk sugar.
Where there Is a high per cent of fat,
there is necessarily a lower per cent
of other constituents. The action of
the germs is that of changing the
milk sugar to Tactic acid Where
there is less milk sugar, there will be
a less amount of acid developed and
thus the souring is checked for
lack of milk sugar. !. The, separator
should be set to separate a cream
about IS per cent of but
ter fat. In some instances it may be
desirable to have as high as SO per
cent of butter fat in the cream. How
ever, such cream is usually difficult
to pour from the can. This Is es-
pecially true, however, in the winter.
