COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS AT NEW YORK

The appointment Of Dudley Ficlt
Malone as collector IF customs at thu
port of New York. is fraught with pc
litical interest. Malone, who is a son

ticular favorite of President Wilson
and also OF Secretary Bryan and wal
sent from Washington, where ne is as
sistant secretary OF state. to New
York TO speak for John Purroy Mitch
Ell during the recent mayoralty cam
paign. Senator O'Gorman was a sup
porter of Mccall and he was not con,
suited when the name of Malone was
sent to the senate for the New YorE
collectorship.
The naming Of Malone for the New
York post, which pays salary of sl2.

will cooperate with Mayor Mitchell
and most probably Governor Glynn in
the reorganization OF the Democratic

COOK MILK LONG TIME
TO KILL ALL THE GERMS.
Low Temperature Best For Many Rea-
sons, Say Experts.

IN order to determine the best way
OF pasteuriziug milk so as to Kill tile
disease germs and yet not give the
milk a cooked flavor or lessen its nu-
tritivc value. the department of ag-
riculture. through its dairy division.
has been conducting a series of expert
ments. A recent bulletin of the bureau
Of animal industry says that when
milk is pasteuriZed at 145 degrees f.
for thirty minutes the chemical
changes are so slight that it is unlikely
that the protein muscle building ele-
ment or the phosphates of lime and
magnesia are rendered less digestible
than they are in raw milk.
Moreover, from a meteorological
standpoint, pasteurizing at low temper
lures is found to be more satisfac-
tory than at high temperatures. Ac-
cording to recent bulletins, where low
temperatures are used the majority of
bacteria that survive are Tactic acid
organisms which play an important
part in the normal souring of milk.
When milk is efficiently pasteurized
at high temperatures the bacteria
which survive are largely of the putre-
factive kinds, and milk so treated If
kept for any length of time has q
tendency to rot in stead of sour.
From the standpoint of economy, the
technologist of the dairy division finds
that pasteurizing at low temperature
calls for less heat It is found that it
takes about 2315 per cent less heat to
raise milk to the temperature of IA
degrees f. than to a temperature OF
165 degrees Il. A similar gain is q
saving of the ice needed because il
will require 231a per cent more refrig
Grafton to cool milk to the shipping
point when it is pasteurized at the
| higher temperature,
The department therefore recon
mends that when market milk is pas
/ teurized it should be heated to abou
145 degrees f. and held at that tenn
perature for thirty minutes"

they affect or are likely to affect agri-
culture and general farming conditions

Other changes are to be made in the

nouncement of Professor Marvin's ap-
pointment to succeed Willis L. Moore,
recently removed, was made some
time ago when President Wilson sent
his nomination to the senate.
Professor Marvin was recommended
for the place by the National Academy

requested by the executive committee
