CARING FOR MILK PROPERLY
Two Great Factors Are Cleanliness

Cleanliness and temperature are
the two great factors in keeping milk

most free from bacteria until 1t be-
comes contaminated either during the
milking process or while waiting the
start for delivery. To keep them out
is not SO easily accomplished as the
general public imagines. The small

even with painstaking care and the
best that can be done is to use a san

is studied. il is best to have nothing
else in the same bed, which may be

gust, about eight inches apart, and
make the soil somewhat solid around
the neck of the plants. but do not bury
too deeply. II dry weather should oc-
cur give a good soaking of water, but
keep as dry as possible through the

stirring the soil and giving q top

plants and assist the bloom. AS the
flower stems approach blooming have
in readiness quantity of slender

to have them quite perfect, examine
the pods, and IL they appear to be

them In pots or pans In sand under a
hand glass In a gentle heat. After
they have struck root gradually harden
them OF, and plant them out In well
prepared beds. In which they will
make strong plants, ready for lifting

keep them in a cold frame. For fore

night. Whatever house they are

them freely exposed to the sun. for
this is the main secret of success
