larly, by strange persons, or under
disturbing circumstances. Like a
person, she does her most capable
work when in calm and satisfied
mood. For this reason experienced
milkmen handle their cattle with
great regularity and care.
The milk cows should never be hur-
ried when driven from the pasture to
be MIXED, nor should they be kept
waiting outside the stable door and
bawling for their feed. At the regular
hour they should be brought up, stab
led, fed, and MIXED. In summer they
should be relieved of the torment by
flies, for flies as much as anything
else are responsible for the decrease
in milk flow during this time.
After the dust and dirt have been
brushed from the cows quarters and
udder, the mixer should quietly sit
down at her right side and with dry
hands milk her out. If possible the
milk pail should be large enough to
hold her entire yield, in order to
avoid interruption. If there is a sore
teat the mixer must exercise the
greatest of patience and gently milk
it dry, using a milking tube if nee
essary. Under no circumstances abuse
the COW because she kicks at such
time. In fact she should not be abus-
ed at any time even if she kicks with
out apparent reason. Nothing was
ever gained by maltreating a dairy
cow with the milkstool or a pitchfork.
On the other hand gentleness and pa
thence will if continued long enough
effect cure on even the most unruly
COW.
Special care must be exercised to Sc
cure all the strippings, both because
they are the richest part of the milk
and because milking them all out will
result in maintaining the highest
yield. The first milk drawn usually
contains only small per cent of
butter-fat. but the last contains from
three to five per cent more than the
average.
There is no animal on the farm
which responds to careful treatment
like the dairy cow. Extra time and
special care on her behalf will yield
the best returns.

Curing Hams and Bacon

Not every one has good bacon,
though but little care is necessary to
make the very best. Even in the
South where it rarely freezes, good
bacon can be made by butchering in

ting it air over night. When it has
been in the salt twenty-four hours,

Dry Clean Them
The essential features of successful
state road management are:
First, the elimination Of politics as
a factor in state highway work.
Second, The control by the state
highway department of all work on
which state funds are expended.
Third, adequate appropriations FOR
continuous maintenance under eff
cient supervision from state depart
ment.
Fourth, state supervision of sur
veys, plans and specifications.
The railroads have a daily patrol o.,
should be given to public roads, but
the road attendant cannot render
proper service unless small piles Of
suitable materials are placed at con-
venient stations along the road. A
road patrolman can Immediately fill
holes and remove distractions when
they are found on the roads. He can
also care for the edges along the high
way and keep the bitches open, but
every patrolman should be equipped
with an outfit on wheels and provided
with tools and materials for quick re-
pairs. 1t has been said that one pa
trolman can easily take care of six to
eight miles of roadway. Other states
are watching the Inauguration of the
new patrol system i'm Pennsylvania,
and, if it works out satisfactorily,
then many other states will adopt sim
liar methods.

know of none better than to paint the
flesh side of each piece with a paste
made or red pepper tea, with flour
stirred into il and enough molasses
added to make it stick and enough
cayenne to make it too hot for a
mouse or insects. Two coats of this
will be necessary and it will be safe to
leave it hanging. The pieces may be
sewed up in muslin which should be
painted with flour and yellow ochre,
and let hang.
The essential points are to let it
take salt but not lie in the salt too
long, smoke and hang before the
warm days of spring. Saltpeter
makes the meat red and also aids
the salt, as it strikes in quicker than
salt alone. Brown sugar helps retain
the natural juices so often lacking in
home cured meat.

LET TELEPHONE
PEOPLE TRY new
RATES FOR TINE

Two definite decisions relative to
public utilities on the island of Ha-
waii we're made this afternoon at the
meeting OF the utilities commission
The decisions were made in the form
of motions, following recommendations
by Charles r. Forbes, chairman of the
commission, who returned yesterday
after an investigation of the rates
charged by the Hawaii Telephone
Company and the Hawaii Electric
Light Company, both of Hilo.
In regard to the Hawaii Telephone
Company, the utilities commission to-
day decided to allow the company a
period of six months in which to try
out their new rates. This period will
last from September Is to March Is,
and at the end of the time the COM
pany will be asked to report to the
commission in regard to conditions.
The second decision reached by the
commission is to approve the meter
system which the Hawaii Electric
Light Company has proposed. Mr.
Forbes stated in his verbal report that
the company had acted very fair in
all matters taken up by the commits
sion, agreeing to replace wornout poles
wherever needed. to repair insulation
on wires in such places as it had been
worn of, and to make all such i'm
provements as we're needed. 1t is the
plan of the electric light company to
establish an underground system for
wires as soon as the patronage is
great enough to warrant it
Mr.. Forbes says that much of the
opposition which seemed to exist
among the general public is rapidly
dying down. both against the electric
company and the telephone company.
1t Isl, said that some trouble still ex-
lists between the Hawaii Telephone
Company and the Kohala Telephone
Company. in coming to an agreement
on telephone rates. Mr.. Forbes stat
ed to Ithe commission that he had
taken hp the matter with both par
ties and feels that the whole affair will
soon ba settled amicably. ssss..s.-z....
