Minnesota is the center of the

practically all Of the barley crop
is used in that industry. That

Those who are opposed to coun-

hay crops, for, they argue, if
prohibition goes into effect, the
market for those crops, especial

Instead OF wasting her valuable time In
Matching the hen can 60 on her way

nothing can take from her. The large
poultry plants discarded the hen as
hatcher long ago. and the fancy poul-
tryman has followed their example.
He can hatch his chickens Mt any time
he pleases. IL he wants his birds early
he must hatch them In January or
February, and there are very few hens
that want to SIT during these cold

er large or small. fills the bill and
does the work Of Matching In a much
more satisfactory way than the hen.
The hen works In natures way. and
when given a chance to make good in
her own sweet way she will come out

things outside of natures way. For
instance, IL is natures way for hen

There is tremendous loss to the

CLEANLINESS IN
milk PRODUCTION

by II. a. Harding. professor OF dairy
bacteriology. University Of Illinois.l
In producing clean milk the object
of first Importance is the COW herself
If she is covered with filth so that this
filth falls mechanically into the pail
during the milking process the milk
will be filthy Ii. on the other hand
the COW is clean and is MIXED by a
clean individual into clean utensils the
the milk will contain very little objec
tionable material--that is. the milk
will be clean in the ordinary sense OF
the word
This word clean must be used in
regard to milk with some understand
ing Of what the situation really is.
The cleanest class OF milk on the mar.
ket is certified milk" which is pre-.
pared under unusual conditions with
regard TO the cleanliness of the cow
and her surroundings. The results
from the scoring of this certified milk
at competitions in various parts of the
country are available and indicate that
only about one bottle of this milk il
a hundred is so clean that foreign mat
ter cannot be readily detected. either
with the naked eye or with a low pow
er reading glass. When the highest
grade OF certified milk is In this IN
cleanly condition 1t is not fair to insist
that the ordinary milk which sells at
not much more than half the price shall
be absolutely clean.
The amount Of foreign matter which
will fall from the COW into the pail
