ALL MILK CANS SHOULD BE WELL JACKETED

The dairy division OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture has just complet'
ed a series of tests on the change IN
temperature of milk in cans during
Transportation from the farm to the
consumer These tests established
the importance OF jacketing cans OF
milk with some appropriate insulat-
ing material.
II has been found that milk that has
TO be sent only short distances or
preserved Tor only a few hours should
maintain temperature OF less than
20 degrees. Even at these tempera'
lures. some bacteria will multiply and
cause the souring of the milk, but the
increase is slow and during Few
hours no serious results will occur A
temperature well below 30 degrees F.,
however, materially decreases the rate
of bacterial growth.
On the other hand, where milk :
to be shipped long distances. the initi-
al temperature must be lower. assunl-
ing that no provision is made for main
tanning the original temperature dur
ing transportation. Where milk is In
transit for several hours, IL Is neces-
sary TO cool 1t down TO near the freez-
ing point. So soon as the milk can
however, is exposed TO air tempera'
ture, and especially to the sun, the
temperature OF the milk begins to
rise very rapidly and every precau-
ton should be taken TO keep 1t from
being raised by the outside heat
A series OF experiments was recent
~ made in shipping milk cooled to 90
degrees. In these cases the cans
were set in an open truck. with no
covering TO shield them from the d.
rect rays Of the sun. The milk was
hauled a distance OF Is miles and the

water before 1t could possibly reach
the main river channel. The farmers
are well pleased with the Improvement
and estimate the value Of their flood
protection for this year to be equiva'
lent to more than 60 per cent OF the
cost of the entire improvement.
Relief from floods in Saline county
is now being sought, and farmers IN
New Cambria and Dayton townships
are planning the organization Of CO.
operative drainage district. The land
affected comprises eight or ten sec
tions lying in the valley between the
Solomon and the Smoky Hill rivers, and
from six to eight miles OF bitches VIII
probably be required. AS in the case
OF the district along the Delaware riv'
er. assistance is being given by En-
gineer Walker.
In the places that will be affected
by the proposed drainage district in
Saline county, practically 1000 acres
OF wheat could not be properly har-
vested this season On account OF the
water. Some of the farmers are still
cutting wheat with mowers, while
others have burned 1t in the field. The
losses of the present year have been
exceptionally heavy.
That between 100000 and 100000
acres of land in the eastern half Of
Kansas, are subject to overflow, Is
the estimate of Mr.. Walker. While
some of this cannot be economically
protected, the vast majority OF 1t can
be, and the cost, as compared with
the value that would be received. is
exceedingly small Proper drainage
commonly doubles the producing value
of the land, and has the same effect
on the selling value.

LIPS WELL REPAY ATTENTION
In Perfect Condition They Add Much
to Appearance Of Even Face
That 10 Plain.

Healthy, rosy lips are a very impor-
tant part OF ones appearance.
When young lips become pale ana
colorless look into the general health
at once. II outdoor exercise does not
stir the blood to action and bring
healthy color to the cheeks and lips
a judicious tonic should be taken
Too much vinegar will not only
make the lips pale. but will thin out
the blood until all color disappears
from the face as well.
A dangerous habit is biting the lips
to make them red. Not only do the
,Ips become shapeless. but they grow
thick and coarse.
Delicate lips become blistered
through being exposed TO sun and
wind. In such cases lip salve should
be used before going out OF doors, and
a solution of borax and distilled water
should be used to bathe the lips night
and morning.

AVOID TIGHT SLEEVES
ARE SURE TO BRING ABOUT RED
DENINo OF THE HANDS.
Easy Method Of Improving Square or
spatulAtsd Finger TIpS-oraesful
Gestures Do Much to Con-
coal Natural Defects.

II the hands are large and inclined
to redness, It is wrong to wear tight
sleeves. The pressure on the muscles
Of the arm will make the hands swell
and emphasize the knotted look II this
defect exists. The redness. which all
women OF refined taste should fear, is
the direct result OF close sleeves and
wristbands too tight. Such fixings,
merely from the esthetic point. are be-
sides very unbecoming to q large. ILL.,
formed hand.
Square or spatulated finger tips
may be improved by a daily pinching
up Of the ends Of the fingers. But
this must be done often to obtain good
results, and, OF course, II is not to
be expected that filbert nails and al
mond-shaped finger points can be &C
quired II nature has denied them. The
best one can do is to try and improve
defects through infinite care, the
study Of graceful gestures, and artis-
tic and becoming costume.
II the nails OF square finger tips
are cut square, the nail will continue
to broaden and flatten. The nails
should be cut in a delicate oval. with
the curve left somewhat longer than
the flesh, and this trimming as well
as the pinching must always be done
after the hand-bath, which, of course,
must be taken in hot water with n
good soap.
Flexible movements OF the wrist de.
cidedly change the impression Of a
large and otherwise beautiful hand.
To quote the people who make cult
of gracious movements OF the body,
never take thing from another per-
son: receive It. Which is to say,
never stretch out stiff arm with UNI
yielding wrist, hanback, up. for the
articles, whatever It is or how anxious
ly wished. Put out the hand with ell
bow bent. palm up, the fingers curved.
This attitude Of the hand and arm at
once suggests graciousness, whereas
the poker thrust from shoulder to
finger tip hints of O nature naturally
rough and unfeeling. In the same
way, the woman who keeps her
fingers always close to one another
is doing violence to the more beauti-
full language OF hands. Hands held
tightly, as the expression is for such
members, imply stinginess. doubt Of
others, and deceit. The open hand,
the one with flexible wrist and fingers
held apart, is bound to 60 with a gen.
erous nature, even II It is also q
spendthrift one.
Moist hands are an affliction to
their owners. and they certainly are
not inviting to others. They ruin
gloves. impede the progress and dainti'
ness of fancy work, and II they are
constantly cold as well they may indi-
cate a very bad circulation. To cor
rect all this nm effort should be made
first to tone up the general health and
overcome any disposition to nervous
ness over trIfes. A mechanical meth
cd for reducing the flow Of moisture is
to rub the palms several times q day
with mixture made from Is grams Of
belladonna and 70 grams Of CO.
logne. The hands should also be
washed In warm water in which lit
tie powdered alum has been dis
solved.

average air temperature during the
trip was 1855 degrees. The expert
ment showed that the cans that were
hair-quilt iacketed showed a raise of
only 5h degrees in three hours in the
temperature OF the milk. The cans
that were wrapped with wet burlap
showed q milk temperature of 5Sia
degrees in the same period, or a raise
of SIs degrees. The milk in the I'M
jacketed cans rose in three hours to
7Sk degrees, or rise of 2Sls degrees.
1t is obvious from these figures that
it pays to jacket the cans, in order
to maintain Il low temperature during
transportation.

this fertile bottom land. Surveys were
made and different plans for flood pro
lection were proposed, but things did
not run smoothly ut first and no deli
mite progress was made until 1910,
when land was condemned to straight
Ell out the river.
A general plan of drainage was
adopted in 1912, when II. B. Walker
drainage engineer in the extension
service of the Kansas State Agricul'
tural college, was called upon by the
district to give general supervision to
the work. Plans were then formulate
ed, and a system Of food relief by
cleaning and Strengthening the channel
OF the river, was proposed. Fourteen
river cut-offs were proposed and
adopted. thereby making reduction OF
more than thirteen miles In the river
channel. About twenty-four miles OF
old channel were cleaned of brush,
drift. snags, and other debris. The
contract for the river Strengthening,
let in July, 1872, involved the eNcaVa-
ton of more than q half million cubic
wards of earth. This construction
work was finished about the middle OF
July. 1914, at a cost of approximately
S6S,000
The entire cost OF the work in the
district was approximately $4,000. or
an average cost of 50 an acre. Besides
the SCI, 900 spent for excavation work,
a little more than $4,000 was paid for
channel cleaning, $11, 900 for damages
and right-of-way. The remainder OF
the 100000 was needed for general
administration, engineering and legal
expenses.
The work us planned was not ex-
pected to give relief except from the
ordinary overhows. On June 81, 1914

Some Helpful Suggestions.

A faded cotton dress can be made
white by boiling in cream tartar wa
ter. When ironing any garment that
has a row OF buttons, fold a Turkish
towel into several thicknesses. lay
the garment with buttons downward
on the towel and iron It on the wrong
side. The buttons viii sink into the
towel and the garment will be smooth
and well ironed.
