TO PRODUCE CLEAN MILK.

Methods Are More Important Than
Equipment For Good Results.
Prepared by New York State College of
Agricultural
Methods are more important than
equipment in producing high grade
milk, according to reading course les
son entitled The Production Of Clean
Milk" recently issued by the New York
State College of Agriculture. A man
may have an inexpensive COW stable.
but II he keeps 1t clean, grooms and
feeds bis cows long enough before
milking to allow the dust to settle,
wipes the cows udders with a damp
cloth before milking and handles the
milk in sanitary way In sterilized
utensils he can produce clean milk.
These facts, SO the college says, are
Of particular Importance to milk pro
ducers In the state because Of the re-
quirements of the milk ordinance that
went into effect Jan. 1, 1915. This Or
dinance requires all milk intended for
retail delivery In any city or village to
be graded according to the health Of
cows, the sanitary condition In the
dairy barn and In the milkhouse, as de-
termined by the dairy score, tho bac-
terra content Of tie milk or cream and
whether the milk or cream has been
pasteurized.
The college lays particular emphasis
on the construction and the care Of
dairy utensils and gives figures to show
that at least two-thirds Of the bacteria
sometimes present in milk may be ex-
cluded BY using a small top milkpail.
All crsvices and seams in dairy uten-
sils should be well flushed with solder,
1t is stated; otherwise bacteria will COL
lect In these places and contaminate
each fresh lot of milk put into the
utensils. All utensils used should be
rinsed In lukewarm water, then wash
ed with a brush. not a cloth, In a
strong solution Of washing powder and
hot water and then either thoroughly
scalded with boiling water or. better
still, sterilized In steam.

The greater part Of the hairy vetch

beer imported from Russia and Ger
many, the annrai snrorfztioas increas-
ing froE less than ioaoQo pounds In
1876 10 over odnO Con pounds In 1914.
Because Of the Enrcpean war there
seems little prospect u more seed be-
Ing imported before this fsll For this
7easou farmers who have hairy vetch
growing are urged by tie specialists
OF the United States department Of
agriculture 10 save their own supply Of
seed this year. 80 they asy Re able to
continue the use Of this valuable crop.
Ii Is not TO be expected. however. that
prices higher than those Of last year
viii be obtained. as the high price OF
the seed under normal conditions In
recent years has been the chief factor
La limiting the use of hairy yetch In
tie past
In harvesting the seed crop it should
be cut with moving machine when
the Oldest pods are fully ripe. The
wheels OF the mower as well as the
horses must not be allowed TO pass
over the cut vetch, as otherwise much
Of the seed will be shattered out. As
the pods break open readily when dry
the greatest care should be taken In
curing and handling to avoid loss of
seed. II can be thrashed with an or
binary grain thrasher by lowering the
concaves sufficiently TO avoid cracking
the seed. Yields of from three to ten
bushels per acre OF hairy vetch seed
may be expected In addition TO the rye
or other grain with which it is grown.
A complete separation OF the hairy
vetch seed from rye or wheat Is best
made by use OF spiral separating ma
chine known In Europe as a "schnec-
tentrieur," which is now manufactured
for sale in this country. For local
seeding, however, complete separa-
tion ID not necessary. and the desired
proportions Of vetch and rye or wheat
can be obtained by the use OF an ordi-
nary tanning mill

The Arlington Amphitheater.

The laying of the corner stone of
the Arlington amphitheater in the
southern fields of Arlington recalls
the dedication of the old amphithea-
ter, now sad and seedy in spite of
its luxuriant vines. The old amphi-
theater was hastily built in the spring
of 1873. Work was begun on it on
May 2, and it was ready for the
services of Memorial day in that year,
the work being done by twenty-five
carpenters, twelve bricklayers and
thirty laborers. The design for the
structure, which has served its uses
on so many impressive occasions, was
prepared by Gen. Montgomery c.
Meigs, and in an old chronicle it is
written that 1T was constructed I'M
der the supervision of Col. Curtis,
superintendent for Gen. Myer, depot
quartermaster." The first memorial
service in the Arlington amphitheater
was conducted by the commander of
the Department of the Potomac of
the 6. A.. R. Among those present
were President and Mrs. Grant and
members of his cabinet.
The orator of the occasion was the
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, and the
sentiments of his address seem
strange now in this period of peace,
but at that time the civil war was
only eight years closed and the pas
sions of that bloody period had not
cooled. DR.. Talmage said, in part:
Friends of those who died for their
country: | give you my right hand
in sympathy, coincidence and con-
graduation! Assembled for the first
time in this memorial building, let
us, before any words be uttered,
dedicate it to the holy purpose for
which it has been erected. We con-
secrate it to the memory of the coun-
try's martyrs and to the God of the
soldier and the sailor, the God OF the
land and the sea, the God of Gettys-
burg and the South mountain. Year
after year may it stand to show that
they who suffered and died for their
country shall be held in everlasting
remembrance while the name of our
enemies shall rot"
What a change has come over the
sentiments of men! How the years
have softened the memories and
healed wounds!

ing forward and bent on progress,
neither reactionary nor wildly radical.
If the party is restored to power it
will have its hands full, and he as
President his hands full in cutting
out much of the work.
And yet that is not all In making
up their ticket the republicans could
not safely ignore geographical lines.
The south, of course. does not enter
into their calculations. There is no
| thoroughfare for them in that quar-
ter. But they should and probably
will, make the most OF their strength
and what it demands in the sections
where things are debatable. The
ticket should appeal to, and in way
be reward for, party service and
party faithfulness in quarters neces-
sary to success next year.
Which is to say that if the first
place is accorded to the east the sec
ond should go to some middle, or
northwestern, or near western state,
or vice versa. The republicans have
almost made that rule. Hayes of
