Howard drummed his fingers on the

as she added: Il was going to say to

Howard looked at her curiously. He
did not know if she was testing or in
earnest. Almost impatiently he ex-
claimed:
why do you talk in this way against
your own interests? You know I'd
like to be friendly with my family,
and all that. But it wouldn't be fair
to you"
I'm not talking against myself,
Howard. l want you to be happy, and

With smile she replied ambigu-

"Oh, that's little private matter of

to comprehend, and she went on,
gravely: Howard. you must do

KEEPING BACTERIA
OUT OF MILK.
BY Earl Elijah, Iowa State College.

BY Earl Elijah, Iowa State College.
During October, 1911, ten samples
of ice cream were taken from retail
blishments of Des Moines and
examined for meteorological content.
The average number Of the little
plants found in each cubic centimeter
was 19,92O,000. In terms of cubic
inches the figure would read 340,209,-
600. The average number of bacteria
per cubic centimeter of milk coming
from the udders Of healthy cows is
500 at the time Of milking. Thus for
every bacterium present in the milk
at the time of milking we have 39,S40
to be served up at 10 cents dish. 1t
certainly looks as if someone along
the line has been a little careless.
The absolute exclusion of bacteria
from the milk is impossible and so
the problem of producing good milk
is one of limiting the number or the
prevention of conditions favorable to
their multiplication. Some bacteria,
under favorable conditions. will pro.
duce new generation every fifteen
minutes. 1t has been estimated that
at this rate of increase in one weeks
time a mass of bacteria as large as
abe earth would be formed from a
single parent. These figures are be-
You'd human comprehension, yet they
serve to emphasize the Importance of

time Parker was a -four merchant in
Burlington. On leaving Monmouth he
went to Winnebago, Mimi, and enl-
barked in the banking business. He is
alleged to have embezzled $4,000

lions gives a still greater reduction.
The use of sanitary milk pals will
give vastly greater reduction in the
number of bacteria in the milk than
an equal amount of money invested in
any other way, and here is undoubt-
eddy the place to begin" 49,,
1.-The various operations about the
stable result in throwing into the air
more or less dust and dirt which set
ties slowly. Dust and dirt always
mean bacteria. The grooming, feed
ing and bedding of the animals should
be done at times as distant as pos
sible from the milking time. The
grooming should be done at least half
an hour, and preferably longer, be-
fore the milking is begun. The feed
ing, and especially the feeding of hay,
as we'll as the bedding, should be
done after the milking is completed
Plate shows the contamination Of
two hairs of cow. Grooming, of
course, is. of vital Importance in re-
moving the loose hairs that might
fall into the milk pail It also helps
in keeping the dirt and manure off
the cows body, manure being very
common source of milk contamination.
I have seen chunks of dried manure
half inch in diameter fall into the
milk pail and heard the mixer say,
"Oh. it'll strain out all ri9ht."9 Such
a man has whole lot of faith in the
ability Of his strainer when the bac-
terra are 50 small as tc, require mi.
croscope to see whole colony of
them.
After reasonable care has been ex-
ercised in keeping the bacteria out of
the milk the next problem is to pre-
vent the ones already present from
multiplying. This is done by cooling

| "BEAFSTEAK !" SPECIAL,

"More Beefsteaks for Everybody:
That sums up the mission of spe-
cial train which is to be sent across
Iowa soon to arouse farmers to grow
more beef cattle. There have been
special trains and special trains, but
this is the first "Beefsteak" train to
be operated in Iowa or elsewhere.
4 1t will carry corps of lecturers
from Iowa State college and many
practical beef producers. Up IN the
palace car ahead there will also be
load of the choicest beef animals in
the state, prize winners from some
Of the leading herds. The men will
make clear that beef must be grown
in Iowa to meet the meat crisis the
country now faces, and also that it
can be grown with profit The ami.
mails will be used to demonstrate the
type of animals that must be grown
if beef is to be produced with profit.
This train will be operated under
the auspices OF the Iowa Beef Pro-
ducers' as ociation, aided by the col
lege and experiment station. Its
first tour will be across Iowa from
Council Bluffs to Burlington, over the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road. 1t will start from Council
Bluffs in November and will take
four days for the trip, so that at
every stop there will be thorough
discussion and demonstration. At
present al lngements have been made
for this one tour only, but others are
under cons cleration.
The Iowa Beef Producers associa-
ton will Be represented on the trip
by President Chas. Escher, Secretary
George Burge and Specialist Rex
Beresford Tie college will be rep
resented by Dean Chas. F. Curtiss,
Prof. w J. Kennedy of the extern
sion department, Prof. w. H. Pew of

pected that Secretary r. J. Kinzer Of
the American Hereford Breeders as
ISOLATION, Secretary Chas. Gray of
the Aberdeen Angus association, and
Secretary Abram Rennich Of the
Shorthorn association will also make
the tour. There will be in addition

FEEDING SOFT CORN.

Early frosts have again brought
the farmer face to face with the
problem oil disposing of his soft corn.
If the quantity of soft corn proves
to be very great the problem may as
sumo large proportions due to the
scarcity of beef cattle and the in
roads cholera has made on the hog
crop. Those having soft corn to feed
and stock to- feed it to will perhaps
be interested in recalling the sum-
mary of a bulletin published by the
Iowa experiment station in 1908 in
regard to feeding soft corn to cattle.
The experiment covered only one
wear and so should be taken only for
what It is worth.
l.. Soft corn grown on the college
farm in 1902 and containing 35 per
cent of moisture at the beginning of
the test, pound for pound, on water
free basis, was fully equal in feeding
value to mature, corn grown IN 1900
when used for fattening cattle.
70. XCattle fed on such soft corn
made nearly as heavy gains and fn-
ished equally as well as seized on
mature corn grown in 1900.
g.. When soft corn similar to that
used, in this test could be purchased
for 80 cents per bushel the prevailing
market price, gains on fattening cat
tie could be made at cost of 3.03
cents per pound less than when ma
ture corn, costing so cents per bushe',

FIGHTING The CHOLERA.

%By Earl Elijah, Iowa State College.)
There are two methods of immun-
izing hogs to cholera. The first, the
cheaper but less permanent, is known
as the serum treatment while the
second, more expensive but more sat
tsfactory is called the serum-simul-
famous.
According to MIR. j. D. Cline, veter'
marian of the Iowa State College ex-
tension department., the serum treat
ment alone will give Immunity for
from four to eight weeks while the
serum treatment is the real vscci-
nation and produces immunity
throughout the life of the hog if given
ut the age of six months or over.
If the serum treatment, the serum
or liquid portion of, the blood of hogs
that have had the cholera and sur
vived, is injected into the body. This
serum has the power of combating
the cholera virus so long as the serum
remains in the blood Of the hog, but
after a time it's efficiency, is lost.
In the serum simultaneous treat
ment little blood containing the
cholera-producing organism is also
introduced, but in quantities not large
enough to produce fatal case of
the disease in the presence of the
serum. The hog thus is given light
attack of the disease and surviving
this is afterwards immune to a Sec
and attack.

"A farmers duty does not end
when he has supplied himself and

Some farmers supply their own selfish

necessarily part of the government.
This means that he mus, take part

AS to- the method Of eatmcnt; !
quote again Arom Mr.. Cline in the
Iowa Agriculturist: Get all hogs
to be treated in a small pen so that
they can be caught easily. Always
keep in mind the rise in temperature
due to exercise, and do not move them
any more than necessary. Have
plenty Of help SO that the work can
be done with all antiseptic pre-
cautions. It is we'll to have men to
hold the hogs, another to do the dis
injecting and assist in the operation.
The temperature should be taken to
note any rise Of temperature before
injections are made. The operator
is above normal, more serum should
be injected, in case the increase is
due to infection" 49,.
"All vessels and instruments must
be thoroughly sterilized before the
injections are made. The operator
should have his hands thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected and kept
clean until the work is completed. For
cleaning the site of the injection use
llrst warm water and soap followed
by alcohol or three to five per cent
earbolic acid solution" See plates
u and g.
Plates 2 and show the methods
Of injection either on the inside of
the thigh Or in the arm pit. ,s>
First be sure that the disease is
hog cholera then be careful to pre-
vsnt spreading the diseases. Get
good serum and start the serum
treatment as soon as possible. (For
reference write DR.. J. l. Gibson,
State Veterinarian, Des Moines, 1a.)
Be sure that the man who administers
the serum is competent and that
every precaution is observed
more care were given to diagnosis,
disinfectior and proper administra-
ton of immunizing agents, more
praise would be given the serum
treatment and less money would be
buried or burned in hog-skin purses
