EXPENSE OF POULTRY FOODS
Prices Are Not on Decrease as Some
Poultry Keepers Expected
Protein Is a Necessity.

The high price of good poultry
foods is not on the decrease as some
poultry keepers thought it would be.
1t continues SO high that even on the
farm the, owner has begun to count
it's cost in the outlay to his chickens.
To do this on the farm is a loss IL
the food is withheld, for poultry prod
ucts on the farm outrank in price the
high rate of food.
The protein feeds are highest in
price unless it be some Of the meals,
such as cottonseed, so plentiful in the
South, but this is so dangerous If fed
in quantities that often fowls are sac
rificed to this cheapness. or at least it
is the experience of many given that
to make cottonseed meal even so much
as one-tenth the bulk Of the poultry
feed is dangerous.
However, the New Jersey expert
ment station is making test of this
and we will soon get real facts in the
matter. Glover and alfalfa are cheap
protein foods, but even with these
we can overdo their feeding.

Sunshine is an amazingly potent
germicide for the farm housekeeper
and in the dairy and stables. The
practice Of exposing cooking and 9TH
er utensils used in connection with
food to direct sunlight makes use of
this fact, although comparatively few
appreciate exactly the work done by
the sun in this regard. Probably only
those who are acquainted with tests
which have actually been made real
ize how quickly sunshine kills disease
germs exposed to it. Hence the fol-
lowing tests may be generally instruc-
tive and interesting, says the United
States department of agriculture news
letter.
A pasty, creamy mass of tubercu-
lous material, which was proved to
contain uncountable numbers of viru-
lent tubercle bacilli, was obtained
from a tuberculous COW and spread
in thin smooth translucent layers on
sheets of glass, pieces of wood, and
strips of muslin. Some Of the sheets
of glass, pieces of wool, and strips of
muslin were then placed outdoors on
moderately warm, clear, calm day
where the sun could shine on them,
and an equal number were placed in
a dark room. After is minutes ex-
posure to the sun, the tuberculous
material on the glass, wood, and mus
lin still contained large numbers Of liv.
ing, virulent tubercle bacilli, which
were proved to be fully capable of
causing tuberculosis, but after 80 min
utes exposure to the sun no living
tubercle bacilli could be found; every
test that could be made proved that
they were all dead.
Similar tests with quite large Opaque
masses of tuberculous material, larg-
er and denser than any tuberculous
Mexico Missouri message., 1915-12-30

person is apt to expectorate, proved
that the bacilli in such masses on
glass are still alive after 4, but en-
tirely dead in less than 8 hours, and
still alive in the material on wood
and muslin after S, but dead in less
than 16 hours.
The tuberculous material in thin lay
ers on glass, wood, and muslin, kept
in a dark room, was proved to con-
tain fully virulent, living tubercle ba-
cilh after 80 days. The contrast is
remarkable, tubercle bacilli of the
same kind of material, dying in a
smaller number of minutes in the sun
shine than the number of days they
remained alive in dark room.
AS most varieties of disease germs
are more easily destroyed by germi-
cides than tubercle bacilli, and as tu-
bercle bacilli, in the thin layers in
which they are likely to adhere to
clothing, blankets, rugs, draperies,
furniture, walls, floors, ETC., are killed
by the rays of the sun in less than
half an hour, though they remain alive
in dark places month and longer, it
is reasonable to draw the following
conclusions:
(a) AS a general sanitary principle
it is desirable that all dwellings, sta
bles, ETC., should be so constructed
that an abundance of sunshine can
reach their interiors.
(b) AS a general protective meas
ure against disease germs, it is an
excellent practice to expose uten-
sils for handling milk, and milk cans
after they have been cleaned, to di-
rect sunlight, and to hang or spread
wearing apparel, blankets, bedding,
rugs, horse blankets, ETC., periodically
where the sun can shine on all parts
of them.

us BUILDING FOR PosTERITS
Wonderful Possibilities Confront
Woman When She Enters Into
the Marriage Relation,

When a woman enters the marriage
relation, her sphere Of influence Is nS
once extended. and her horizon is no
longer bound by the people and ciEF
cumstances of the moment.
She is building for posterity. In tho
Joy and thoughtfulness which charaes
terizes her mind in the new relation
there is a prophecy of unborn gem
erations. Her life is to color otheR
lives; her aspirations are to FIX, -
great extent, the position and TO

II she is cultured, pure and refined
these qualities will characterize the
home which she creates. The higher
the degree of her culture, her purity
her refinement, the more win these
qualities characterize the homo OF
which she is the center.
The personality that a woman takes
with her in her marriage is her real
dover. II her dover can be reckoned
in numerals only, no matter how
many they be, wrecked, indeed, win

FLAVOR AND AROMA
IN MAKING BUTTER
Quality Depends Largely on
Changes Made While Cream
Is in Ripening Process.

By the ripening of cream is meant
the changes it undergoes from the
time of separation until it is added to
the churn. Upon these changes de-
pends very largely the quality of but
ter as regards texture and flavor. The
temperature at which cream is held
determines the firmness or texture,
while the flavor is dependent upon the
by-products from the bacterial growth.
The purpose of ripening cream is
fundamentally that of giving the but.
ter the desired favor and aroma, but
in addition it increases the ease and
efficiency of churning. Cream is rip
ened in one of two ways:
First, it sours or ripens as a result
Of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk or cream;
or,
Second, It ripens as a result of ac-
tion of certain kinds of bacteria which
are added in what is termed start
er."

tines, where much of 1t is wasted In
dressing and cooking.
In crate-fed stock the fat is distrib-
uted throughout the tissues OF the en-
tire body, thus making the flesh ten
der and sweet. This is the secret of
the high quality produced by this proc
ess.
Anyone can successfully fatten
chickens in this manner II he win pay
attention to details. The work may
be conducted in small way by the
individual producer or consumer, or
on a large scale by the commercial

DESIRABLE TO PUSH PULLETs
Variety Is as Important as Liberal
Quantity In Feeding to Increase

From now on, the price of eggs will
rule high until the spring months,
and it is desirable to push the pullets

Liberal feeding, beginning with
either a good dry OF moist mash in
the morning, plenty green stun, and
meat scraps with some cut bone, and
in evening good dry grain, should
hurry the egg production.
