COST OF PASTEURlzlNG MILK
Price Set by Government as
Result Of Tests.

From tests made and reported by
the government, the cost of pasteuriz-
ing milk when a properly designed or
properly operated plant is available,
is about one-third cent a gallon. To
pasteurize cream costs about two
thirds cent a gallon. Government
tests show that the flash process by
which milk is raised to temperature
OF 165 degrees and kept there for a
moment only, is more expensive than
the holder" process, in which milk is
maintained for 80 minutes at a tenn
perature of 1876 to las degrees. Less
heat is required for the holder
process, and 1t Is believed that for
hygienic purposes the latter is pre-
terred.
1t is believed that many milk plants

Peril of Cosmetics.

There is another war disaster, but
one we can readily endure, and that
is the loss of the drug and cosmetic
imports, says the Columbus (O) Jour
nal. Many of the most important
drugs come from Europe, and the sup
ply of these will be cut down materi-
ally, while cosmetic imports will al
most disappear from the market.
There are two things that we can well
spare. We use too much drugs, and
as for the cosmetics the women are
beautiful enough without them 1t
would doubtless be matter of public
policy If the women were prohibited
from making themselves any more
beautiful than they are. If cosmetics
helped them to do this, of which there
Is serious doubt, 1t would be we'll IL
the tariff were made so high as to
be prohibitory. But there will be no
need Of this, since cosmetics, as a rule,
make women less attractive and con-
sequently less harmful to men.
Beauty ought to be a moral influence,
but that depends on the kind Of per
son he or she is.

WlNTERING THE SMALL PIGS
Animals win Not Do Well and Return
Good Profit Unless Few Precau-
tions Are Observed.

Many small farmers buy fall pigs
and fail to make them do well, but do
not know the reason, writes j. Brown
in Orange Judd Farmer. Fall pigs
will not winter well and make good
profit unless several restrictions are
carefully submitted to. First, make ar.
rangements to let them have access
to out Of doors whenever they are dis
posed to go out Pigs shut up indoors
languish. They want to run out when
the weather is severe, even If they re-
turn at once some days. Swine carry
so much Of coating Of fat that they
will stand more cold than many sup.
pose. Frequently the kind-hearted
owner closes the doors and expects
pigs to go on growing. But they re-
fuse. The larger the pigs when severe
weather comes on the better they will
do. OF course, II you live where the
climate is mild this does not apply.
But all young animals must have
plenty Of exercise.
Second-Do not let them work or
lie in heating manure. The warmth ap-
peals to them. They spend too much
time in it. and they rush into the cold
only to be attacked by lung and
other kindred troubles. The roofing
over of manure in summer will not
harm. Give plenty of bedding and
sleeping room where draft cannot
blow over them, and let 1t be dry.
Dampness is detrimental to swine any
time, but especially SO in winter.
Third-Milk is likely to be scarce in
winter. and for this reason many per
sons are not situated right to take on
young pigs. They need milk because
they are young, and all the more be-
cause the weather is trying to diges.

do not grow forget some Of these
things. A hot slop mot too hot) win
ter mornings is relished by all pigs,
and seems needful where pigs are
making their best growth.
Fourth-Constipation. that enemy
of all animals, is more than likely to
attack pigs that are deprived Of green
food and under stress because of any
lack of nutrition. 1t must be guarded
against. Give fruit, vegetables, sods,
branches of apple trees, bran, mid
dlings, molasses and small dose Of
wood ashes.
