WHY MILK souRs.

Perhaps you have often wondered
why it is that If you let milk stand
for short time, especially in warm
weather, 1t will turn sour and become
unfit to use in your tea or coffee, but
If 1t Is boiled and then sealed up in
some sort Of alright can or jar it
will keep for any length of time in
any weather. =.>. .}.
Many persons believe that thun.
derstorm will turn milk sour, and If
you ask them what the thunder,
which Is nothing but noise, can do to
the milk. you will find that they have
no idea. but they just know 1t is so.
So, there!
The reason that milk turns sour is
that It contains small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar in the
milk. When the milk is boiled these
microbes are killed and the acid is
never developed. Warm air, and even
electricity in the air, is very favor
able to the rapid growth of these
microbes, which are really sort OF
plant, and all plants flourish In
warmth. ,&rs. y ah n
The acid which Is made by these
microbes in the milk is called Tactic
acid, and II the milk Ia good and clean
1t is none the worse for turning
sour, although 1t is not just the thing
to put In tea. For some persons sour
milk Is a much more wholesome drink
than sweet milk, and Is recommended
by some doctors for the cure Of Ger.
tain diseases. There is famous
Chinese statesman who believes he
VIII live to be $50 years old because
he drinks SO much sour milk every
day. 4.

CORN CULTIVATION.

(; The following bulletin, being No. 2
in the series, has just been issued by
Manager s. NJ Jordan Of the Pettis
County Bureau of Agriculture.
"a few years ago the only race at
this season was as to who could &c,
done planting first. The game in Pet
tbs county seems to have changed, and
now 1t is who can get his seed bed
H. the finest shape?'
r. Il must say that l never saw fan
cier work done. In only rare cases
do bad clods appear. Some seem as
yet not to have caught the idea. Most
Of the corn fields are like gardens.
This Is certainly wise, as it means
much easier and better work from
now on.
1T is evident that If the seed plant
ed grows, something OF corn crop
is sure, as when men prepare such
seed beds as we find In Pettis county,
these same men will do the best Of the
work ahead as 1t should be. 81, ~.
There were only few fields, COM
paratively, when the ground was not
disked ahead of the pillow. Then most
Of them were narrowed and disked
and narrowed again. Some, however,
p1owed first and plowed the entire
field, leaving the clods for a rain to
come to soften their clods; in fact,
they seem to hope that Providence
will do the big end Of their farming.
These can't expect much. Some corn
that has been planted and not yet up
has had one cultivation already with
a harrow. l4a, a.. 49,. ..@..,<+ ~
when the time comes for the cult
vator, deep blowing IL safe and often
advisable the first time. This Is true
where the ground may have been pack
ed pretty closely. Corn roots cut at
this first blowing cannot do much
harm, and, in some instances, actually
do good. S$. ". ~. 49,
"As the season progresses, It, is
commonly best to cultivate little
shallower each subsequent time, and
in laying by as few roots as possible
should be disturbed. .s-..,> ~ !
Deep cultivation late in the season
should be avoided. II possible. . Some
times this deep work may be .neces.
sary when heavy rains may have run
the soil together and weeds have the
start and cannot be killed by shallow
work. ~ @5 SstS
ION rolling ground the land should
be ridged as little as possible. It Is
sometimes necessary to ridge on fiat
land when the season may be wet; al
So when the season is very: wet, deep
cultivation is sometimes best. The
more the surface Is stirred the more
moisture the soil will hold or the less
evaporation will take place" Sam
Jordan In Missouri Farmer,
