Scientific Cooking a New Study

The study of home economics Is in

agriculture was twenty years ago,
according to Miss Louise Stanley, in
structor in charge of the home eco
nomics department at the University
Of Missouri.
Twenty years ago men were skep-

riculture. 1t was new and revolution

SELECTING GOOD COWS

The fact that COW is pedigreed, or
comes from line OF high producers,
while 1t is worth considering. Is not a
sure guarantee OF the work of the
COW herself. This has been very strik.
ingly shown in the herd At the Col.
.ege of Agriculture OF the Unlyer-
siry of Missouri.
Two cows, both Of excellent breed
Ing, were in the herd from birth.
They received IS nearly the same
treatment as any other two calves.
These cows were half sisters, and had
equal chances to become good pro-
ducers. One Of them, however. after
records had been kept for three years
of work. showed a record of four and
one-half pounds Of milk to every one
pound that the other had produced.
The poor one scarcely paid for her
iced. while the other one. Of no differ
emit breeding or original care, paid a
handsome profit.
There il only one way of accurately
telling which cows in the herd are
worth keeping and which are simply
'boarders" That il to use system Of
weighing the milk few days out Of
zach month and keeping an accurate
record. At the end Of the year 1t will
be easy to see which cows are pay

strongly advised to keep records each

that can be taught to the housewife
to make her more efficient with her
part of the management? The lead
'ers in home economics declare that
there are great many things which
have never been dreamed Of.
Cooking is only a small part of the
work of this department, although 1t
is popular part. Efficiency is taught
in all the many lines of work that a
woman naturally meets.

KEEP THE MILK CLEAN
Many Deaths Are Directly Traeeabls
to the. Milk Supply.

The production of clean milk Is not
a matter of fancy barns or extraor-
binary methods. 1t is a matter Of
cleanliness. When milk is produced
in a dusty, dirty barn from cows that
never know the feeling Of q curry
comb. the milk can not be otherwise
than unsanitary and UNFIT for human
use. As good care should be taken Of
the milk as would be taken with any
other food product. Dirt that gets
into milk can very little Of It be re-
moved. Straining will take out the
coarse material and bits Of straw. but
the really obnoxious part Of the dirt
10 that which is dissolved and can not
be removed.
In winter the COW IL kept inside.
She naturally becomes more or less
soiled with the litter Of the stable. It
. hard coating Of manure on her sides
and tanks When the COW Is In this
condition it 10 not possible to pro-
duce clean milk. A single particle
Of manures carries many bacteria into
the milk and these start decay and
putrsfaction. A single hair from the
cows body. even where 1t appears to
be clean. has been shown to contain
. large number Of bacteria.
The problem of cleanliness in milk
does not seem great, to the average
farmer He will say that his parents
and grandparents drank that same
kind Of milk all their lives and were
not harmed But to the people in
the city. where life Is more concen.
trated and where results can be OBJ
served more quickly. It is a very live
problem. Many deaths. especially Of
infants. are directly traceablbe to the
milk supply. The particles Of dirt
that fall into the milk become a sert
ous menace when they have had time
to develop and do their damage.
