the largest possible supply of these
elements. Doubtless the best way to
dispose of such products is to carry
them to the fields as they are made.
This plan is best carried out with the
aid of good manure spreader, by
which the material Is evenly dis
tributed over the SOIL Where pos
sible, some field or fields should be ac-
cessible all the year for such a pur-
pose. When it is not practicable to
apply the manure to the soil as pro-
duced, 1t may be cared for best by
keeping it tramped in the stalls. Where
1t becomes necessary to clean the
stables or the barn, and the manure
must be cared for till possible to add

SAVE THE PLANT FOODS

One of the principal sources of loss
on the average farm is the neglect Of
the farmyard manure. 1t is common
thing to see great piles of the material
around the feeding places, and often
it stays there for long time. 1t is
here that the greatest losses occur,
the waste being brought about by the
teaching and washing out OF the sol
uble plant foods that are in the ma
nure. 1t has been shown time after
time that if the matter is exposed to
the rains, where the food elements
can be washed and drained cut, 1t is
only a comparatively short time till
they are all practically gone. II this
material is valuable, because of the

Souring of milk is due entirely to
bacteria. If it were possible to keep
those out. milk would never sour; SO
the length of time milk will remain
sweet, depends on our ability to limit
the number of bacteria in it. To do
this, it is important that we know the
ways that the germs get into the milk
and what condition favor their growth
after they are in. Milk is a very ex
cellent food for many bacteria, and
when they once get started they in
crease in numbers rapidly, changing
the sugar of the milk to acid, which
gives it the sour taste and smell and
causes the casein to curd or clabber.
Dirt of every kind carries with it more
or less bacteria, so that when it en-
ters the milk it introduces whatever
germs are clinging to it. If the dirt
is entirely, or largely composed of ma
nure, it will always have large num-
Der of bacteria. Very small particles
of this filth, even as floating dust, will
supply many germs to the milk il it
is allowed to get into it. Any work
around the milking stall just before
milking is likely to scatter some dust
into the air and, this settling, will lodge
in the milk veasels and thus increase
greatly the germs. Cow hairs always
have many germs on them and add
their share to the milk if allowed to
get into it. The hands and clothing of
the mixer often carry many germs
and in working over the pals while
milking these are dislodged and drop
into the milk. Cleanliness of the milk
er is very essential in the handling OF
milk. Another source of bacteria in

milk is the vessels into which it is
drawn and stored If these are not
given special care they will introduce
many germs and they are very likely
to introduce the kind which cause the
souring of milk because these are able
to live in the pals in which milk was
formerly soured. The strainer is also
likely to have many germs in it. Ev.
erything which comes in contact with
milk should first have the bacteria
killed out of them. This may be done
by careful washing and scalding, or
by exposing them to sunlight for some
time. Sunlight will kill all bacteria
which can cause the souring of milk
in a comparatively short time If they
are subjected directly to it. There
will always be some bacteria in milk
even with the best of handling, and
it is necessary to do something to pre-
vent these from increasing in num-
bers. Bacteria grow very fast if the
milk is at the right temperature. This
temperature for the souring bacteria
is about that of an ordinary living
room. If the milk is kept at this tenn
perature the bacteria increase very
fast and sour the milk quickly. If, on
the other hand, it is kept at temper,
ature about 20 degrees cooler than
this, the germs which cause the sour
ing will grow slowly and the milk will
remain sweet long time. 1t is very
important that the milk be cooled
soon after it is MIXED. Tests at the
Experiment Station show that milk

mains sweet much longer than If al

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
IN COUNTY SCHOOLS
Miss Grace l.. King Is Conducting the
Classes-COOking is Done
in Homes

Girls H. 81. Joseph county schools
are experiencing their first month in
domestic science training under the
tutOrage of Miss Grace l.. King, SUI
pervisOr.
That the branch instituted in the
schools Of this county as a part OF the
general vocational training plan, will
be a big success is the opinion OF Miss
King, after the first two weeks. She
has visited practically every school in
the county and has laid out plans for
the work.
The course instituted by Miss King
gives the student the opportunity of
choosing which of three subjects she
will take. Sewing, shelter and foods
will make up the work. The classes
taking shelter this month will look
into the history Of the home, study
the types of housing, the evolution OF
the home and the general arranging
and planning Of the home. The sew
ing class will this month study the
makings Of cotton cloth, learn needle
threading and minor domestic essen
tials. The class studying foods will
this month take up preserving and
canning. Later vegetable produce
will be studied by the third class.
A special line Of work is being ar
ranged for each month by Miss King.
The equipment for promoting the
third study is so inefficient in a large
number of the schools as to make the
study difficult to understand. The
cooking has to be done at home by
the pupils and the results are not as
, they would be if they could be per-
formed under the supervision of the
instructor.
