SECURE THE CLEANEST MILK
Barns Should Be Kept UnpolIuted and
Yards Free From Manure and
Litter of All Kinds.

These rules are given for the clean
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and we'll ventilated, the
yards free from manure and litter and
drained so that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the COWS
should be brushed around the TANKS
and udder with a stiff brush; this
should be followed with damp cloth
which will remove many of the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the cow during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp hands
is a filthy process and is apt to cause
the teats Of COW to chafe and be-
come source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to a milk house just as
soon as possible after it is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
cream cooled as soon as possible after
milking.

this court you are dead This is not
thu place for you to get mistakes recti-
fc Get a lawyer, and he will tell
you what to do" The man persisted
and said he wanted his property, and
it was an outrage to deprive him of il
another day" The judge said: 81 tell
you that in the eye of this court you
are dead. Sheriff, take this application
