prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Because recent developments in dali
rying have caused large demand for
dairy house which will fulfill sani-
tary requirements, plans for practi-
cal and inexpensive dairy house are
suggested in Farmers Bulletin $50 of
the United States department of agri-
culture. For those who are striving
to improve the quality of their prod
ucts such building is an absolute me-
cessity. Milk which is poured or
strained in the barn, or allowed to
stand there, is liable to be contami-
mated by bacteria and to absorb stable
doors. AS soon as the cows milk is
drawn 1t should be carried to the dairy
house, to be strained and cooled imme-
diately to SO degrees F. or lower. An
up-to-date sanitary dairy house is pro-
vided with all the facilities for cooling
milk in the most economical and expe-
ditious manner.
For convenience the dairy house
should be near the barn, yet so far
from it that no barn odors can be de-
tected in the house, and should be on
well-drained land which slopes from
the house.
The principal purpose in building a
dairy house is to provide place where
dairy products may be handled apart
from anything else. To carry out this
idea 1t is necessary to divide the inte-
rior of the building so that the utensils
do not have to be washed in the same
room where the milk is handled. The
idea of absolute cleanliness must al
ways be kept in mind therefore there
should be no unnecessary lodges or
rough surfaces on which dirt may
lodge. ventilators are necessary to
keep the air in the milk room fresh
and free from all doors and to carry
steam away from the Mushroom. Win
dows are of great Importance, as they
admit sunlight and fresh air and facili
tate work. In summer the doors an6
windows should be screened to exclude
flies and other insects.
1t is imperative that there be plen
tiful supply of cold, running water al
the dairy house. If it is not possible
to have regular water system, watel
supply may be piped from an elevated
tank fed by an engine, windmill, hant
pump or hydraulic ram. The dairy
man can i'll afford to spend his tins
carrying water in pail to cool mill
and wash utensils.
For the proper sterilization of uten
sils an abundance of steam or hot wa
ter is needed A pail or can may ap
pear to be clean and still may contain
numerous bacteria which will hastel

cleaned they should be either scalde'
with boiling water or steamed.
The dairy house should be so bull
as to economic labor to the creates
extent. To do this the building mus

then run over the cooler, using cold,
running water for the first cooling.
When a can filed with milk from the
cooler it is put into the cement tank,
which should be filed with ice and
water well up on the neck of the can.
The milk should be stirred frequently
until thoroughly cooled. When the
milk is not being stirred the cans
should always be kept covered, to pre-
vent the entrance of dust, dirt, insects,
etc. Never mix warm milk and cold
milk or cream.
The doors of the milk room should
be kept shut except when necessary to
pass in or out.
When all the milk is cooled the
cooler, pals, strainers, ETC., can be
carried into the Mushroom, where they
should be rinsed in cold water and
then washed with hot water and wash
ing powder. After this they are rinsed,
steamed and inverted on the drain

be used, one carrying cold water, the
other steam; these may be controlled

WHY "ANURIC"
Is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from Backache, Rheumatism and kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from baekache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce, of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send q sample of urine for test.

Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
'Anuric" is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melts sugar. besides being absolutely
harmless and is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kid
neys in healthy condition by thor
oughly cleansing them. Checks the de-
generation of the blood-vessels, as wen
as regulating blood pressure. "Anuric''
is regular insurance and life-saver
for all big meat eaters and those who
deposit lime-salts in their joints. Ask
the druggist for "Anuric" put up by DR..
Pierce, in 5O-cent packages.

COLBY GLEE CLUB
GIVES fine CONCERT
DANCING FOLLOWS
City Hall Holds Delighted Au-
dience Saturday Evening -
Program Well Chosen and Is
a Source of Pleasure to All

In a way that won the enthusiastic ap-
plause of good sized and appreciative
audience the Colby Glee Club, for anoth-
er season rendered its concert before Au-
susta people, Saturday evening at City
hall.
From beginning TO end the program
carried with it the favor Of it's listeners.
The singing OF the club, the fine work Of
the orchestra and the entertaining num-
bers Of the mandolin club we'll deserved
the praise they received. Mr.. Scott S
reading, particularly in the abstract
from Drummonds famous poem written
in the French dialect about Saint Pier
re-, was commendable.
Perhaps the pinnacle of the evening
was reached in the violin solo numbers
by Mr.. Latin. The Colby Glee Club con-
cert in past years is remembered by the
remarkably fine work of George Pratt,
violin soloist, and his loss to the club
this year is surely missed. But the
Colby club is by no means lacking for
violin solos on its concert program. In
Mr.. Latin the club is most fortunate in
| having an artist Of exceptional ability.
His work Saturday evening not only won
the immediate and complete applause of
the audience but was feature which Is
still topic for conversation and which
will linger in the memory.
The violin cello and piano trio, by
Messrs. Latin, Pratt and Prince, was
one of the high spots reached during the
evening. 1t was an exceptional number
of exceptionally high quality.
A remark of regret overheard was that
there was TO qartet and that there We're
not more vocal solo numbers on the proa
gram a nearby optomist inquired of
the gentleman as to what part of the
program he would change for what he
suggested. The gentleman began TO
smile and told his friend he did not
know. The concluding remark was of
similar interest, being Colby always
brings a fine orchestra" Reference to
memory tells US that that is So And
this year surely followed that rule. The
fine work of the orchestra was one Of
the prominent things which stood out
through The entire program.
Nor did the work of the orchestra end
here. Tie concert was concluded little
after 10 O'Clock. The floor was cleared
and it was not long before the large
gathering of dancers were sWaylng
around the hall to the time of music
by the u pieces OF the orchestra. The
dancing lasted until - o'clock,
