,RorEcrIQN FOR MILK CANE
Some Hints as to the Care of These
Much sed Utensils.

Much milk that seems to be perfect
" good when it leaves the farm
reaches the consumer i'll bad condi-
ton, and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is now convinced
that this is frequently due to rise
in the temperature Of the milk curing
transportation A se:ies OF tests that
has recently been completed shows
the importance of surrounding the
milk cans during hot weather with
some appropriate insulating material
which will effectually exclude the
heat.
Even VIXEN milk is to be shipped
only a short distance its temperatura
should not be higher than 50 degree
+. At this temperature bacteria will
multiply but the increase IS slow and
a few hours delay will result III nc
serious injury. In milk above 50 de
erees +. the rate OF bacteria growth
is much more rapid 1t follows that
when the milk is to be shipped long
distance it must be loaded on the cars
at a temperature much less than 81
degrees +. unless some efficient means
is taken to prevent the temperature
rising during the journey.
Perhaps the most practical way OF
accomplishing this is to wrap the cans
in pair of quilt Jackets. wet burlap,
or some other similar material. In the
course OF the recent experiments milk
was hauled a distance OF Is miles in
an average air temperature OF 82.65
grecs f., the milk being shipped at a
temperature of so degrees +. At the
end of three hours the cans that were
hair-quilt jacketed showed raise of
only 81 degrees f.; those wrapped in
wet burap, a raise OF 80 degrees +.
Milk in cans that were left unpro-
tected rose in the same time to a tenn
perature OF 78.5 degrees +, an in
crease of 25.5 degrees, This is much
too high.
More elaborate methods of preserv-
ing milk during shipment by refriger-
aion are discussed in a professional
bulletin just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which deals in a technical way with
many types OF refrigerating apparatus.
The bulletin discusses fully the inhu-
encc OF time and temperature on bac-
terra in milk 1t also contains elab-
crate diagrams illustrating the differ
emf methods employed in utilizing re
frigeration. and the cost OF operating
them This bulletin so long as the
departments supply lasts will be sent
free to all interested in the refrigera-
ton of milk Refrigeration, however,
is, OF course, not always possible
while any shipper can take the pre-
caution of jacketing his milk cans

While there are numerous types of
rape, including many hybrids and
crosses, yet all may be grouped in
two classes; annual or summer, and
biennial or winter rape
From the seed, an oil is extracted
which is used for lubricating and light
ing and the refuse or rape cake" is
highly priced for stock food and fer
tilizcr.
The biennial or winter rape, of
which the dwarf Essex is a leading
variety, is the kind commonly grown
IN this country for forage. This type
produces seed only in locations where
1t can withstand the winter. Most of
the seed used in this country is inn

THE VISITING MINISTER.

This picture finely illustrates an

humorous and proves to be an ap-
preciable sarcasm on the preacher

full in portraying the feature lineaa,

painting. The humble surroundings,

husband disturbed in his musical rec.
reation with his companionable banjo,
with a look that reflects a struggle
between hospitality and disgust; with
the tired and overworked wife, hest
tating between respect for her pastor
and a possible fear of her Master, all

conspire to make the picture of con
tinued interest and worthy of much
study.
The color effect, the feature work
is excellent; how easy it is for the
painter to detect from his creation by
a too generous application here, or a
lack of depth there. But the natural
hue given by Mr.. Rice to the char
scters speak volumes for his aesthetic
sense which after all is best in form
and n~aturalness.
We expect no trouble in securing
a patron for this splendid OIL PAINT

Every once in awhile the bugbear
OF race prejudice is brought up
squarely before the United States SUI
preme court and each time that trib-
unal demonstrates its ability to side
step the issue. The able jurists know
that they dare not go before the legal
world with any formal approval of the
greatest curse that ever blighted the
fair name OF an empire, yet they dare
not face their frantic constituents
with an open declaration against
them. 1t is indeed an embarrassing
position to be placed in and must
cause the judges no end of chargin.
The side-stepping really accomplishes
the desired purposes, however, and
that Is some relief to the court. In
the recent decision involving the con
st~itutionality Of the Oklahoma Jim
Crow" laws wherein violent and IN
warranted discrimination are shown
to be levied against our people, the
court declared that the laws are lily
conceived but refused to give out a
formed decree because the rights of
the Negroes were too widely set forth
think of iti-and because of some
verbal ~informalities in the petition
OF appeal. In the meantime we are
stu IN the stuffy, filthy cars day and
night, paying full fare and being sub
jectod to all sorts of humiliation.
