Separate Building For Handling Milk

In every case where a considerable
portion of the farm income is derived
from the sale Of dairy products a build
ing should be provided to be devoted
exclusively to their care.
The essential features which should
be retained in any plan are a room
just large enough for the actual needs:
a floor. wall and ceiling which can be
easily, quickly and thoroughly cleaned;
a good drain to carry away waste wa
ter; a suitable method for heating the
house in cold weather; plenty of light
and ve~ntilation; convenient arrange
ments for washing. scalding and dry
ing dairy utensils. and u good tank and
water supply for cooling the milk or
cream. This building OF dairy house
should be convenient to but entirely.

milking is done.
In case u. special dairy house cannot
be provided the milk or cream should

BUSINESS MEN AID .
bethlehem BOOM.
Industrial Commission Of Pennsylvania
Town Secures Houses For Workman.

In its comparatively short life Of
seven years the Industrial Commission
of Bethlehem has done some wonderful
things for this town on the north bank
of the Lehigh river. In his annual
report Malcolm Metzger, the president
Of this body Of business men, recounts
some Of these achievements.
One of the first problems was to get
the capitalists interested in a building
boom, and the commissioa started by
organizing the United Realty company.
In the last seven years hundreds OF
homes for workmen have been built,
and this boom may be said to lie still
in its infancy, for within the next year
or two a territory to the east of the
town will be opened on which 10000
more homes can and will be built.
Perhaps the biggest project of the
industrial commission, which had the
aid of the South Bethlehem CONNER
cial league in the matter, was the pro-
curing Of assurance that two new
bridges across the Lehigh river would
be built. While these have not yet
been constructed, they will be within
a year or two. These bridges are the
Minsi Trail bridge, which will span
the river to the east of the town and
will cost more than $250,00O, and the
new $525.O00 structure across the Le-
high at the foot of, Main street. Con-
tracts will be let
The industrial commission has before
it the task Of urging the erection of a
municipal conduit system, the procur-
ing of a site for an armory, which the
state will build; the consolidation of
North Bethlehem and its 1000 inhab-
itants, the consolidation of the Bethle-
hens and the two contiguous boroughs
Of Fountain Hill and Northampton
Heights and the encouraging of the
establishment of more industries.

that they have been employed or ever
seriously considered. The high and
constantly increasing cost Of wooden
poles. their comparatively short life,
with consequent prospective renewal
at greater expense, as well as the de-
mand Of the public for the beautifica-
ton Of city streets. render the consid-
Grafton Of concrete pole construction
desirable for overheard systems.
"a number of successful installa-
lions of concrete poles have been made
in the last five or six years on this con-
tinent and in Europe. The largest pole
installation at present is that of $4,000
concrete poles set up in connection
with the municipal street lighting and
general light and power distribution of
the ~hydroclectric system In Toronto.
"The appearance Of an overhead in
stallation can he greatly improved by
using a pole of neat and uniform con
struction, such as is obtainable by the
use Of concrete. With a suitable light
ing system and arrangement for over
head a pleasing and ornamental effect
can be obtained at substantially the
same cost as when wooden poles are
used, and there is also the prospective
saving in maintenance expense"

found In conducting a series of
J experiments in feeding swine
that a sufficient amount Of wa
ter is a very important consider
alton in securing the largest re-
turns from the feed consumed
by hogs. He found that often
times in securing the best e
suits in the feeding Of hogs 1t
was necessary to encourage the
consummation Of the proper
amount of water by supplying
some Of the food in liquid form.
Those who are feeding hogs
through the winter season should
bear in mind that the supplying
of a source of pure. clean water
at the proper temperature is of
the greatest Importance. Per-
haps in many cases it will be
desirable to supply a part Of the
water in the form of warm slop
feeds. A feed cooker for the
cooking of feeds has little eco
nomic Importance. but such a
device may be very useful in
supplying warm liquid feeds

The Bible Down to Date.

Some folks never think of the Bible

Jesus is cur example for undermining
the parallels INC adapting the Scrip
ture to present needs. He took
Isaiah's familiar figure of Israel as a
vineyard of the Lord, and elaborated
1T into the parable Of the householder
going abroad, and e%ntrusting his prop
erty and work to stewards AND serv-
ants. These refused an accounting to
the householder's representatives, and
even slew the mans only son when he
was sent on behalf of his father.
Thereupon, fearful punishment was
visited upon the wicked huSbandmen
10y the householder.
The story bears amplification un-
commonly we'll. 1t applies in all points.
The vineyard was the householder's
own: he had rescued it from the
wilderness and made it himself; it was
his to do with as he would; he exer-
cised complete sovereignty over it.
Even the Bible clearly teaches that
man is accountable to God, being his
creation.
This pleasant vineyard of Israel had
been planted and tended and hedged
with completest care. The householder
had done his part for the bearing OF
fruit. All now depended upon the
servants. While Jesus was making g
national application of this truth, ye1

In this crowded last hour Jesus was

nothing fer Him but to ~incarnate his

The madness Of irreligion and sin is
