CARE OF MILK
DURING SUMMER
BY PROF. E. Il. HARRINGTON,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.


Every summer the average farmer
experiences considerable trouble be
cause of sour milk. That it is possible
to keep the milk sweet however, no
matter what the weather conditions
are, is proved by the fact that many
patrons of the university creamery at
all times deliver milk in good cond-
ton. These men realize that they
must pay attention to the proper cool
ing of the milk and cleaning the COWS,
The cans, the place of milking.
Any man who cares for milk as fol-
lows will seldom be obliged to feed
sour milk to the stock:
/. Wash the milk cans as soon as
they are returned first with cold wa
ter then with warm water, using a
brush to clean out all the seams and
cracks. Finally rinse all tinware with
scalding hot water. Use scalding wa
ter for the last as we'll as the first
piece of tinware. Keep the cans in a
clean place protected from dust and
bad odors, putting them where the
sun will shine directly on them if pos
sible
2. Clean each cows udder before
milking. First brush off all loose hair
and dirt from the cows TANKS and
udder, then wipe clean with a moist
sponge, and milk with dry hands.
3. Be careful to strain the milk
through at least one thickness of clean
white flannel An efficient strainer
can be made by suspending a flannel
bag about the size of ten quart pail
on a wooden frame. Place the wood
en- frame on top of the open can and
attach the flannel to the four corners
of the frame by hooks. The cloth
should be thoroughly washed in hot
water after it has been used as a
straiuer.
4, After the milk is strained see to
it that it is quickly cooled and we'll
aired. This work can be partially &C
complished by pouring the milk sew
rral times from one can to another,
or by using a clean dipper to transfer
the milk from one can to another.
Raise the dipper of milk four to six
feet above the can into which the
milk is to be poured
5. Never pour warm milk into cold
milk, nor mix nights milk with morn
ing's milk.
s. After milk has been strained into
clean cans and we'll aired, set the
cans in cold water and keep the uncov-
cred milk cool until it is delivered.
I, Remember that milk should never
be exposed to foul air in the COW
stable, the water tank, or at any time.
s, Never use any poor. musty or
moldy feed
9. Arrange for an ample supply OF
well water for the COWS.
10. Never deliver milk from COWS
that drink from pond holes, or from a
sick COW, nor from one that gives
bloody milk.
IL. The milk from new milch COW
should not be sold until at least one
full week after the COW has calved

Mistake in Feeding.

II is just as great a mistake to feed
pigs too much rich foods. particularly

Question:-Does the Wisconsin col
lege of agriculture help in the organi-
cation of cooperative drainage pro-
jects?
Answer soils department
aims to examine every marsh in Wis
consin, owned by two or more land
owners whose cooperation is neces-
sary for successful drainage and
where aid is desired The depart
ments field man makes this examina-
ton as soon as practicable after it is
requested The field man spends a
day on the area, taking samples of the
soil and running necessary levels. On
small marshes this completes the pre-
liminary survey and the extension
service of the college of agriculture
bears the cost, On large marshes the
interested land owners are asked to
bear the cost Of the remainder of the
preliminary survey The plans based
on this survey are made by the de-
partment and an effort is made to eff
feet mutual agreement between the
land owners. Where a legal organiza-
tion seems necessary, the plans are
made the basis of a petition to the cir
cult court for the organization of a
drainage district When the district
is organized, the cost of the prelimin-
AIRY survey is refunded to those who
paid it, The engineer making the
final plans makes alln possible use of
the notes of the preliminary sur
vey and the services of the de-
partment are always at his command
when he is making his final plans for
the district bitches.
While it is usually possible for the
field man of the department to make
trips of a days duration during other
months of the year, it IS most con-
venient between July and December.
During the other months the travelling
expenses must be borne by the par
ties concerned.

ARMY-NAVY FOOTBALL
GAME DECISION TODAY
Athletic Directors of Cadets and Mid
dies Meet This Morning to Con-
sider Difficulties.

A conference will be held this morning
between athletic directors of the naval
and military academies. before the Secre-
tary of the Navy and the acting Secre-
tary of War, to end contention between
the government schools as to the time
and place of this years football game.
1t has been claimed by West Point
that the cadets have to travel farther
than the midshipmen to the games,
which have been. held at Franklin
Field. Philadelphia, and that because the
army football season starts earlier than
that of the navy, the army team US
tally is stale" or in bad condition from
too-long training.
1t is argued by representatives Of the
cadets that the game should be held at
New York, in order to equalize the dis
tance to be travelled. and because of the
larger seating capacity at the Polo
Grounds. where the game would b.
played if staged at Gotham.
Because there are more officers of the
army and navy in Washington than in
any other city, it has been urged also
that the games be played here.
The points will be considered at the
conference today, and it is expected by
conferees that either the time and place
will be settled or that the game will be
Cancelled.

of Judge Ben Lindsey, in which the need
of a new Juvenile Court building was
asserted. incidentally, Mr.. Claf1in boosted
the proposition to have a delegate in
he said that a new building for the chill
dren's court would be only one of &
number of good things that would be OBJ
tanned by such a delegate. In part, Mr..
Claflin said:
Judge Lindsey is right in condemning
the present inadequate Juvenile Court
building, and in scoring the authorities
for permitting this condition to exist
The judge, however, places the response
bility in the wrong place. He says that
Washington is guilty of negligence in
allowing such a condition, and that this
city is behind the times.
''Wsshington's officials cannot attend
to everything. This city is like an in
fant in the lap of Congress, without even
the power to cry. Residents of WASH
ington want a new building for the court,
and they could obtain it If they had a
delegate in Congress. Furthermore, they
would witness the settlement of the
store-door delivery dispute between mer-
chants and railroad companies. AT ali
times, when local legislation is before
Congress, a delegate from the District
should be present to express the views of
this city, whose residents naturally are
the persons most vitality affected by Dis
trict legislation"
