KEEPING MILK WITHOUT ICE
Department Of Agriculture Recon-.
mends That Liquid BE Placed In
Jar or Pail Of Water.

TO aid persons who find ice dificult
to obtain to keep their household milk
in better condition than If 1t is al
lowed to stand around in heated
rooms. the dairy experts Of the de-
partment Of Agriculture have issued
the following recommendations:
II 1t is impossible to procure ice,
the milk bottle can be kept cooler
than the surrounding air by keeping it
In q jar or pail of running water.
Where 1t 10 impossible to use running
water from q faucet, wrap the bottle
in damp cloth and put it in the
shade in an open window or In any
current of air. This method will keep
the milk few degrees cooler than If
left simply In the air. The use OF ice,
however, il always preferable.
II there 10 no refrigerator in the
house. an inexpensive ice-box for
keeping milk cool can easily be made
by putting about two inches OF saw
dust or excelsior in the bottom of a
small wooden box about 10 inches
long. IL inches wide, and IA inches
deep In to this set a covered jar or
tin bucket about s inches in diameter
and tall enough to hold small milk
bottle. A stone jar is better than a
tin pail, as it will not rust nor grow
leaky. Pack sawdust around the out
side OF the pail or jar. place the milk
bottle in the pail. and place cracked
ice around the bottle. Put cover
on the pail or jar. Lay several thick
nesses Of newspaper on top OF the pail
and close the lid Of the wooden case.

Simplicity Of sIlo.

Many of the original difficulties in
constructing a silo and in operating
1t have largely disappeared. Silos
are comparatively simple in construc-
ton. much less costly, much more ef-
ficient than formerly, and with the
modern machinery for chopping up
ensilage and for filing the silo, they
are much easier to operate.

Advantages Of Plowinc.

Fall blowing should be done as
early as possible, as more weed seeds
are started in the early blowing. the
stubble decays better and more nj
trates are formed and other plant
food is liberated in larger quantities.
Early fall blowing can be plowed
deeper than late fall blowing without
so much danger of bringing up too
much soil at once from below.
