THE PRODUCTION Of
CLEAN, SAFE MILK

Persons engaged In the production
Of milk and consumers interested in
procuring clean, safe milk Will be in
terested in the factors for producing
the same, as outlined by the United
States department of agriculture in a
recent farmers bulletin tNo. so2) en-
titled, Production of Clean MIX" The
essential factors are outlined as fol-
lows:
Clean. healthy cows kept in clean,
light well ventilated stables.
Stables SO constructed as to be easily
cleaned.
A clean, well-drained barnyard.
Clean utensils. thoroughly sterilized.
Clean, healthy mixers that milk

Immediate cooling of the milk to 80
degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Storage of milk at low tempera-
ture until delivered.
A separate house for handling the

An abundant supply Of pure wa
ter.
The new bulletin in its eighteen
pages contains a number Of figures and
describes in detail the practical meth l.
DDS that should be followed in the
production Of clean milk.
Bacteria. according to the bulletin.
And their way into the milk from va
rious sources. Some may come from
the udder itself, where they grow In
the milk cisterns and ducts. The
greater number. however. come from
the dust of the air, the dirt from
the udder and tanks. from the milker
and from unclean utensils. Disease
producing bacteria may get into the
milk from cows having such disease
as tuberculosis. or from people who

Tho consumer Ii sometimes respon-
sible for the contamination of the

into sick room, because infectious
diseases can be spread by carrying
infected bottles back to the dairy

SPLENDID WORK IS
DONE BY CANNING
CLUBS IN VIRGINIA
Mothers Becoming Interested
in Operations in Girls Can

County.

The progress Of the work of canning
clubs In Allegheny county, organized
under direction Of Ella @. Agnew,
State agent for the bureau of plant
industry. United States department OF
agriculture. reported by Mrs. Margaret
King. county worker at Covington, Va.
In the following communications:
TT il with interest that We can
watch the work OF the Girls Can
ming club growing in Allegheny
county. When It was first started the
children were ready to respond. but
the mothers and fathers of some OF
the girls thought It not worth while,
and very reluctantly let the child Join
along during the drought, which for a
time was very harmful. but good
season came at last. and the tomatoes
have come to the front. Now. canning
season In open and the girls are de-
lighted. Parents are taking greater
interest than ever. Gamers are being
placed In 10 many homes. SO that moth

ton was given in Covington for the
bene1t OF all the housekeepers that
could attend,

method, and explaining carefully the
necessity of selecting only solid ripe
fruit. The interest Of the girls has
caused the housekeepers to realize that
they can do more. and the agent has
been sked to show them how the can
ming Ia done.
Last week we had twenty-five
mothers present at one OF our canning
demonstrations 1t is our policy when
ever possible to have as many mothers
attend the earnings Of the girls as car
come and In this way they have
learned great DEAL and they are
waiting to Join housekeepers club
when it Is organized sometime In the
near future.
The prospect for the tomato crop
Is very good now, some gardens are
. late, but II frost doesn't come toe
early. Allegheny will have a right tc
be proud of her girls. Over 1000 cans
of tomatoes have been canned UP to the
present time, and these by just \ few
of the girls. 1t Is surprising to see
how the men and boys Join In. In
nearly every home the father stops
his work and cans with his dauEh-
ter. the boys doing the same thing
and wanting to help all they can. Two
boys asking IL they couldn't join our
club next year. as they found the work
most fascinating.
I'VE hope to do a great deal more
next year. and with the cooperation
of the parents. we feel that we mus,
make a success
The supervisors and county super

watch with interest each point Of de-
velopment. They promise more money

Mr.. William A. Radford viii answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building. for the readers OF this
paper. On account OF his wide experience
as Editor. Author and Manufacturer. he
is, without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries
to William A. R9dford. No. IFS West
Jackson boulevard. Chicago. ILL.,. and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
The one subject on the mind OF ev-
eryone these days is the high cost OF
living, and that leads us to remark
that there are singular ideas current
on the subject of the cost of home
building. 1t is not strange that this
should be so. For the bizarre and the
eccentric invariably attract attention
that the orderly and the sedate may
not receive Perhaps the most singu-
lar Of all notions with regard to the
cost of house. is that beautiful home
can be acquired at the most moderate
conceivable cost, IL one did but know
how to do 1t. Doubtless we would all
get rich IL we could; and while the
crop OF millionaires has been abun-
dant In America In recent years. none
Will dispute the fact that there are a
few left who do not come In this cate
CORY, and therefore the mere knowing
how to do thing Is not nearly SO i'm
portant as actually doing 1t.
The clamor for small homes of mod.
crate cost, yet equipped with every
modern attraction and convenience,
will not down. II is a delusion quite
as widespread as the former notion
that the earth was fiat. and 1t Is quite
as difficult to get rid OF. Very few
people can actually point to such
dwellings as really. In existence, but
immense numbers will tell you posi-
lively that the thing can be done.
The trouble with the small. cheap.
but very attractive house proposition
is the fact that the conditions under
which houses are built are not under
stood or appreciated. The actual cost
OF building by no means represents the
total expenditure that will be required
in any building enterprise. There are
great many essential matters that
enter into the cost OF dwelling that
do not enter into the architects IS
