Advice and instructtsns given con

do not purchase 0llk that is sold
in bulk. Insist upon having your
milk bottled at the farm (not in the
wagon) and delivered to you sealed
from all dust and flies. The unsani'
tary method Of carrying milk cans
and measures through the dusty
streets with flies alghting on the
milk receptacles after alighting on
garbage wagons, sputum, manure.
ETC., should not be tolerated. Have
the milk man place the bottled milB
out of reach of dogs and cats and IN
q cool, shady place. When the milk
Is delivered, note whether or not 1t

60 degrees F., the milk man has been
careless in his transportation meth
DDS. The bottle Of milk should be
held under the cold water faucet and
washed thoroughly with as little agi'
tation of the milk IS possible. Then
note whether there is any dirty sedi.
ment in the bottom Of the bottle.
Unless you are familiar with the
conditions at the dairy, such as the
health Of the cows and the clearly
manner Of milking and caring for the
product, the milk should be pasteur-
lied in the home. Do not depend up.
on commercial pasteurization. The
pasteurization as it is carried on to-
day in a commercial way kills Tactic
acid bacteria and very few, If any,
Of the tubercular and typhoid germs.
Pasteurization in the home may be
performed without any apparatus
other than is found In the common
cooking utensils.
Select 4 pail somewhat larger
than the bottle or bottles of milk and
place an inverted, perforated pie tin
in the bottom to prevent humping.
Set the bottles of milk on the pie tin
and I'LL the pail with water to the
level Of the milk in the bottles. Punch
q hole through the cap, or in case
nursing bottles are used, plug the
necks with absorbent cotton. Heat

til the water Just begins to boil, then
remove from the IRE and allow to
stand for twenty minutes. Replace
the water in the pail gradually with
cold water until the bottles have
been cooled to the temperature Of the

ready for use. By the process OF

Iowa IA, Abundant supply.

iowa mas Aounoane supply
For the first time in three seasons
iowa gardens are producing enough
to supply the state demand while
large quantities of the green produce
are being shipped beyond the Dor
ders.
The best example of this is in po-
tatoes. A year ago today, commits.
sion houses were shipping in potatoes
by the carload from Minnesota. The
wholesale price ranged from $3.50 to
$1.75 at this particular season, while
q little earlier prices were sky high.
Today Polk county farmers are meet.
ing the demands of every grocery
man in Des Moines at prices that
range from so to 60 cents a bushel
But potatoes are not the only veg
etable. Cabbage can be bought
wholesale for IS and $40 a ton, where
formerly they were shipped in at
greatly increased prices. 1t is the
same with sweet corn, cucumbers, to-
matoes, cauliflower and wax beans.
Iowa gardens are supplying the Iowa
demand day after day. In fact the
only things shipped in now in a
great quantity are peaches, oranges,
lemons and apples. The last nemed
is unusual, as Iowa had bountiful
crop of apples last season, although
the prospects this year are not as
good.
Experts on the high cost of living
may have ready field for expert
mentation in the Hawkeye state. Al
SO emigrants had better pause and
consider before they move to alleged
"greener" fields.
For Improved Crops.
Clinton is the first county Of tAe
state to get into the game for the
new Iowa crop service. The county
will be organized at once. The Clin.
ton county boosters at meeting
elected Prof. M. L. Mosher of Ames
college to take charge of the work
of organizing Clinton county SO as
to get the $1,000 offered each county
by Rosenwald of Chicago.
Professor Mosher will take hold OF
his work September LIST. He is one
of the able agricultural experts at
Ames developed by Professor Holden
during his incumbency at the college.
He will enter with enthusiasm upon
his new work. 1t is probable that he
will be given leave of absence from
the college by the state board Of edu-
cation.

Iowa objects to Proposed Increase.
Iowa has entered a protest on two
proposed changes in freight rates.
One is that of lumber from southern
points here and the other is on eggs,
butter and poultry shipped from here
east. If the produce rate is changed
as proposed it will mean that it will
cost Iowa $350,000 more to ship her
produce each year than it now does.
The increase is liz cents hundred
pounds, or about $24 for each car
shipped.

One.Man Structure,

The biggest one-man structure in
England is Stivichal church, near Co
ventry. James Green, a native of that
city, not only worked the stones used
in 1t, but with the help Of a single Ia
borer, placed them all in position
and, in fact, constructed the whole OF
1t, from foundation to turrets. How
long 1t took him to accomplish this
feat is not clear. He is said to have
been engaged on the task for 40 years
but the interval which elapsed be-
tween the demolition OF the old church
and the opening OF the present one
was only seven years. At all events
