all undesirable odors, clean to the
taste and sweet or only slightly sour.
Second grade cream shall consist
of cream that is too sour to grade
first, that contains undesirable flavors
or odors in moderate degree, that is
foamy, yeasty or slightly stale, or
that is too old to pass as first grade.
Third grade cream shall consist of
cream that is very old, rancid, moldy,
dirty or curdy and such cream will not
be accepted by the creamery COM
panies."
This system of grading can be used
by the average cream buyer or cream
route driver. In fact, the producer
himself can readily learn to grade his
own cream by taste and smell. For
this reason the plan is better than any
that has been suggested for grading
on an acidity basis.
The following simple rules have
been sent to producers:
l. Cleanliness is the first requisite
for producing good cream. Be sure
that barns, barn yards and stalls are
clean. Wipe the cows udder with
damp cloth before milking and be
sure your hands are scrupulously clean.
2. Remove all milk from the barn
as soon as milking is over to prevent
dust falling into the pail.
8. Separate the cream while the
milk is still warm, having the separa-
tor screw set to skim cream testing
thirty-five to forty per cent.
4. Cool the cream Immediately, stir
ring frequently to hasten the cooling.
5. Never mix warm cream with cool
cream. When it is all about the same
temperature, mix and stir thoroughly.
6. All cream should be stirred at
least twice a day.
T. Keep the cream cool by placing
the cans in tank of flowing water, If
possible, otherwise change the water
frequently.
8. Never allow your cream to freeze.
8. Deliver your cream at least three
times week in warm weather and
twice week in cool weather. In sum-
mer keep the cans covered by a wet
blanket while on your way to town.
10. Be sure that your separator and
all utensils are thoroughly cleansed
each time they are used. Rinse first
with cool water, then wash thorough
ly with boiling water and good wash
Ing powder. Never use dish rag or
soap.
Something should be done in In.
diana to bring about the use of sys.
tenn of buying cream according to
quality. 1t will be a benefit to the
producer as well as the manufacturer.

PROVIDE MOISTURE
FOR GARDEN PLANTS
Apply Enough Water to Pene-

Coaxing Them to Surface.

Use the hoe more; the hose less.
A dust mulch is better aid in dry
weather than the artificial shower.
If you must use watering can, do
It with a will. Give enough water
that the moisture will penetrate the
roots instead of coaxing them to the
surface, there to be the more sus-
ceptible to protracted drought.
Before the cucumber vines entirely

when vines not thus treated dwindle

to bear large, welcomed fruit in
stead of the defective sort too often
attributed to the effects of hot
weather.
Gather the cucumbers every other
day and do not let more than two or
three go to seed. The exertion Of

(By H. c. MILLS, Department of Dairy
Husban6ry, Purdue Experiment Sta
TOM
The subject of cream grading has
been receiving attention the past few
months. There has been a general
agreement among the large creamery
operators that something must be
done.
Cream is one of the few products
that has not been graded as to quality
and paid for accordingly. Many cream
cries have followed a system of grad
ing the cream in the factory and max
ing two grades of butter, but few have
had sufficient nerve" to grade the
cream and pay the producer for the
kind of cream he sells. This plan is
not fair to the producer who spends
time and money in producing cream of
good flavor as he gets no more money
for 1t than the careless, dirty dairy.
man who produces bad" cream.
The cause Of this condition has been
the intense competition in buying
cream all over the country. The
creamery man who wants to grade
cause he knew that if he paid the pro-
Queer of cream of poor flavor a lesN
price than he paid the man producing
cream of good flavor, that he would
lose cream patron and his competitor
would@ain one. This, he felt, he could
not afford as he was not getting as
much cream as he needed.
This condition of the cream market
has caused the quality of cream to be-
come worse from year to year as the
man producing good cream discon-
tinued doing so because he saw no
reason for spending time and labor
keeping the cream clean and cool.
An improvement in the above condi-
ton can only be brought about when
all creamery men are compelled, by
law, or agreement, to pay for cream
according to quality and to refuse
rancid, moldy, dirty cream.
II law of this kind we're enforced,
ali cream buyers would be placed on
an equal footing. 1t would be an adj
vantage to the producer because bet
ter grade of butter could be produced
at less cost and better price would
be received for it. The cream buyer
could then pay higher price for the
cream.
Some Of our western states have
started upon statewide cream-grad-
ing system. The cream buyers of Mis-
souri, have agreed to follow this sys-
TEN of buying cream:

Sometimes tomatoes fail to ripen on
the vines and should be picked when
fully grown and placed in a sunny
window to perfect. But unless this
is really necessary let nature perform
the work in her own way, as the fruit
