SOUR MILK BY ELECTRICITY
lnspirits and lnVigoratea Bacteria as
Alcohol, cocain or Strong Tea At
fects Man-Work Quickly.

To many persons the curdling of
milk in thunder shower is a myster-
ious and uninteIligible phenomenon.
Yet the entire process is really simple
and natural. Milk like most other
substances contains millions of bac-
terra. The milk bacteria that in a
day or two under natural conditions
would cause the fluid to sour are pecu-
liarly susceptible to electricity.
Electricity inspirits and invigorates
them affecting them as alcohol, Co
cain or strong tea affects men. Under
a currents influence they fall to work
with amazing energy and instead Of
taking a couple of days to sour the
milk they accomplish the task COM
pletely in half an hour.
1t is not the thunder in the storm
that sours the milk it is the electric
ity in the air that does it. With an
electric battery it is easy on the same
principle to sour the freshest milk

POULTRY
tFACTS
COLONY HOUSES FOR WINTER
Some PouItrymen Arrange Summer
Coops in Suitable Manner for Use
During the Cold Weather.

When young birds are brought in
from the range we often find our
selves in need of more house room to
winter the increased flock.
There are several ways in which the
summer colony coOps may be made to
piece out the winter houses. If there
is but one it may be placed close to
the main house and used as an extra
scratching and exercising room. The
fowls may then pass from the main
room to the addition by means of a
tube constructed of boards and set
into the opening about 10 by 20 inches
in size, cut near the floor Of each
building A dry goods hoy with top
and bottom removed will answer nice
ly as connecting passageway.
Some people fit up the summer col
ony coops as laying rooms, arranging
all nests in them and thus leaving the
whole space in the main building for
use of the hens in the daytime. Still
others use the coops as busting rooms
Especially do the early brooder houses
answer nicely for this, as there is usu-
ally plenty of sunlight. The dust may
be kept moist and free from trash and
so does not get into the food and water
vessels, as it often does when nesting
and feeding must be done in the same
room. Sometimes, two or three Of
these coops are used together for a
small flock, one being used for roost-
ing room, one for a nest room and
exercise. In each case they are joined
by wooden tube or passageway.
Some make their summer colony
coops of knockdown sections so ar.
ranged that some five or six of them
may be set up together in one continu-
GUS shed for sheltering the birds in
winter Such pen must either be
banked with straw or covered with pa
per for the winter to make it wind
proof. By the time the young birds
are ready for the colony houses an
other year the old ones are having
free run of the farm.

DAIRYING ON BUSINESS BASIS
Separate Account Should Be Kept
With Each Cow to Ascertain Her
Exact Cost and Profit.
(By G. L. MARTIN.J

In order to put dairying upon busi-
ness basis every farmer needs to use
the milk scales, the tester and the
record book. The successful business
man has ledger to guide him in his
transactions. Every dairyman needs
to enter separate account with each
Of his cows so that he may have an in
dicator to tell him at the end of the
year just how much feed each COW has
consumed, the amount of milk pro-
duced and the percentage it tests.
= Too many farmers of the country are
keeping the scrub COW. feeding and
milking her twice each day, IA times
each week, so times each month and
720 times each year merely for the
pleasure of her compe ny, when a por-
tion of this time might well be ex-
pended in estimating the feed, weigh
ing and testing the milk and credit
ing the same to each COW.
Many good dairymen squander 80
minutes each day gambling with the
scrub COW when three minutes time
with the scales, tester and record book
would put the herd upon a paying ba-
sis and money in their pockets.
The keeping of records is a business
transaction and means the essential
difference between knowing and guess
ing. pleasure and drudgery. profit and

Dairvman Holds the Key.

Improvement in the quality of dairy
products must begin with the pro-
ducer, so the dairyman holds the key
to the situation. Every effort of the
consumer, the distributor or the man
ufacturer, will work to his ultimate
benefit. While payment on the quality
basis is established, a premium of
three to five cents per pound of butter
fat is given for cream of highest
grade. Such cream can be produced
best by paying close attention to
cleanliness and immediate and thor

PROFITABLE TO GRADE EGGS
Better Prices Are Always Secured
When Eggs Are Sorted According
to Size and Color.

Even buyers at the country store
will appreciate your efforts if you will
sort your eggs according to size and
color. Graded eggs show up great
deal better than those that are piled
in promiscuously, and should and
will-command a better price if the
dealers attention is called to the fact
There are few, even Of country
stores, that would not be able to
command a higher price for uniform,
clean, fresh eggs, attractively picked,
and one that produces that kind the
year round can secure an advance in
the market price. Large shippers
will jump at the chance to secure eggs
Of this class, and are always ready to
pay a higher price.
One firm made the statement re-
Gently that strictly f1rst-class eggs
were worth eight cents a dozen more
to their trade than eggs that they
could not guarantee. 1t is the
cheapest possible way to increase the
poultry income. Try It.
