vicinity attended the Romance
of the Reaper which was given
through the courtesy of the In
ternational Harvester Company
of America and their local i'm
plement dealers, T. H. Cochran

Everyone who listened to the
lecture and saw the pictures
spoke of them with enthusiasm.
More can be learned about the
development of agriculture in an
hour at this lecture than in a
whole term at college.
The history of harvesting is
traced in colored pictures these
show how the grain was gather
ed in former days first by the
sicle, then the cradle.
The development of the hal =
vesting machine placed in tie
field by Mccormick, to the mod
ern self.binder, developed BY
Deering, was most interesting.
Mr.. Frederic w. Reick, of Chi
clgo, entertained the audience
in a delightful manner. He was
accompanied by Messrs T. G.
Van Cleve, J. P. Lilly and (. j.

Refuses Whiskey Advertisements

The Columbus, S. c., State has
decided to refuse all whiskey ad-
vertisements, on account of the
sentiment for prohibition which
is gettirg so prevalent in the
state. This is commendable in
The State. and is an example
worthy Of emulation by other
newspapers. Of course this is
business proposition, and while
The State is being commended
on all sides for its stand, it is
doubtful if the financial support
given by its commanders will
make up for its less by refusing
the whiskey advertisements.
The Hustler does not carry
whiskey advertisements, and can
name scores of other semi-weekly
and weekly newspapers, but
there are few daily newspapers
that have the nerve to do as The
State has done. - jacksonville

The Crittenden Record Press
does not carry ads for whiskey
dealers and has refused to do so
for several years. Aside from
the editors view on the subject
there is another thing to con-
slider, viz; the fact that the
people here are opposed to its
sale here and have so expressed
their views at the polls.

hollow stem, 80 absorbs the liquid
readily. while hay has solid stem
so does not absorb well, besides being
expensive. Often cows in well.kept
stables will be dirty from mud in the
pasture or from dusty bedding. Try
using a currycomb and brush before
milking.
A great many times the man who
milks will come directly from the
horse barn. where he has been clean
ing the stable, and without changing
clothes or washing his hands will sit
down to milk the COW. Too often
these same men will wet the hands
and allow drippings to fall into the
milk. Wet-milking is filthy habit
and out of date. Try putting on a
clean jacket. washing the hands be-
fore milking and keeping them dry
when milking.
How often do mixers come to the
stable with dirty pail and hang 1t
UP In the stable while the cows are
being cleaned, bedded and fed. The
dirt In milk utensils is one of the
large sources Of bacteria. Try thor
oughly cleaning the utensils with
dairy washing powder, then scald
them with live steam or boiling wa
ter and turn them up in the milk room
to drain till milking time.
Another source ia from the air,
Many mixers will use an open pail in
a stable not properly ventilated
where much fine dust floats from the
bedding or from the hay now. This
settles into the milk and carries with
1t millions Of bacteria. Again the
milk will be strained into a can in
the stable instead of in milk room
free from dusty stable air. The same
thing happens then as may be noticed
when pan of grain is poured from
one vessel to another In the wind. The
milk is actually poured through a
dust-laden air and becomes contami-
mated. Try milking into sanitary
milk pail which has only small
opening that may be covered with a
cheese cloth. then bed and hay the
COWS after milking and strain the
! milk In the milk room.
