Bottling Pasteurized
Milk While Still Hot
INVESTIGATIONS In the Unite

INVESTIGATORS In the United
i States Department of Agriculture
have found that the process of bot
Ting pasteurized milk while still hot
has several advantages which make 1t
seem probable that this method would
prove both economical and efficacious
when practiced on commercial sale.
In an article printed by permission
of the Secretary of Agriculture in tho
Journal of Infectious Diseases, the
authors declare that this method re-
suits in bacterial reductions as great
as, or even greater than, by pasteur-
ization in bottles.
The principal advantage of the lat
ther method for the ordinary systems
In commercial use Is the impossibility
Of milk becoming contaminated again
while being bottled. There is also
some saving Of milk, because there
is no loss from evaporation. On the
other hand, when milk Is pasteurlzed
in bottles, it is customary to cool the
bottles by placing them in cold water.
This necessitates the use Of abso-
lutely water-tight caps, otherwise
some of the cold water is likely to
find its way into the milk bottles, and
even very slight leak may result
In contamination. Waterproof caps
are not only expensive, but care Is
essential to see that they actually are
waterproof, and moreover, bottles
with Clipped or otherwise damaged
tops cannot be used, no matter how
nearly perfect the cap may be.
Laboratory experiments conducted
by the investigators indicate that milk
may be pasteurized, bottled hot,
capped with ordinary cardboard caps,
and cooled by blast of cold air
economically and with very salts
factory bacterial reductions. The
air-cooling process requires some
what longer time than cooling by
water, but in the laboratory it was
found that thoroughly pasteurzed
milk, bottled Immediately, could be
cooled slowly without increasing the
bacterial content. Whether or not
the experience of the laboratory will
be found true in commercial practice,
remains to be seen. The Department
Of Agriculture, it Is announced, will
conduct experiments with a view to
determining this important point.
Before the milk Is poured into
them, the bottles should be steamed
for two minutes, the authors are
careful to point out. This removes
all danger Of injecting the milk from
the bottles, and is another advantage
that this new method possesses.

Third Known Outbreak
of Quail Disease On
THE third known outbreak of quail

THE third known outbreak OF quail
! disease has been discovered by
the Bureau of Animal Industry in
quail sent for examination from the
National Geological Park. These
birds were received few days ago
from two OF the principal importers
in widely separated parts of the coun-
try. Most of the quail now on the
market are imported from Mexico and
are entered at the port of Browns
vile, Tex. Under these circum-
stances all outstanding permits have
been cancelled and further importa-
tions suspended for this season.
Quail disease, highly infectious
malady, to which all our native quail
are apparently subject, was discov-
cred in 1907 and was traced to
number of states. A second outbreak
occurred in>1912, but was checked
through the suspension Of importation
of birds from Mexico from which
most of the supply of birds was
drawn. Last year practically no
birds were imported from Mexico and
no quail disease was reported.
This year a limited number of
birds have been permitted to enter
at Brownsville subject to quarantine
maintained through the cooperation
of the Biological Survey and the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry. All birds
which were suspected of having the
disease were examined at Browns
vile or forwarded to this Department,
but not until January were the first
undoubted cases of disease detected.
Game commissioners and sports
men who are interested in the intro
duction of quail or who may have
purchased birds for restocking this
season are requested to advise the
Department If any Of the birds are
known to have died from disease OF
any kind. AS measure OF precau-
tion any birds now in captivity should
be kept under close observation for
period of at least 10 days and In case
any of them die the bodies should be
forwarded to the Bureau of Animal
Industry OF the Department of Agri-
culture for examination.

Effective Insecticide Is
Made From Quassiin

4 TTENTION is called in recent
"A bulletin (No. 1863 Of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
the possibilities of quassin as a con-
tact insecticide. There is reason to
believe, says this bulletin, that quas-
sim can be cheaply prepared and pos
sibly sold at lower price than some
of the materials now used in COM
mercial insecticides. The only ex-
periments, however, that have been
made up to the present were con-

siderable quantities in j a m a a :.
Quassa chips have been employed for
many years, in the preparation Of
spray solutions for the control of
the hop aphis The percentage of
quassiin in these chips varies some
what. but it has been stated to be Is
per cent by one author. If this Is
correct, the bulletin says, it would
take only 11a pounds of the chips to
100 gallons of spray to make an eff

BILE this quantity, would certainly be
sufficient; and with 8 pounds of

The Use of Bacilli as
STARTERS" for Cheese

THE use OF cultures OF bacillus bull
! garicus in the manufacture Of
Swiss cheese Is suggested in new
bulletin of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, No. 14S, "The
Use of Bacillus Bulgaricus in Starters
for Making Swiss Or Emmental
Cheese" as a means Of overcoming
many of the difficulties experienced
by American makers. The art of
Swiss-cheese making is highly de-
veloped but few of the underlying
scientific principles have yet been
discovered and the difficulties in this
way have led many manufacturers to
believe that really high-grade
cheese of this type can be produced
in only a few localities. AS a matter
of fact, the average quality Of the
American product has not been so
high as that of the European. With
the aid Of the bacillus bulgarcus,
however, there is reason to believe
that some of the unfayorable condi-
tions may be remedied.
Hitherto the main troubles have
been caused by the presence Of micro
organisms which generate abnormal
gas and produce what is known as
"nissler" or "pressler' cheese, in
which the normal formation of the
eyes is prevented. Recent expert
ments have shown that these micro
organisms can be to a great extent
suppressed by the use of starters, a
practice which is now common in but
ter making.
For this purpose the bacillus bull
garicus group of bacteria appears to
have the most desirable qualifica-
tions. Moreover, these bacteria are
easily obtained and cheesemakers
who are willing to report on the sue
cess of their work can obtain linz
tied supply from the Department of
Agriculture.
, Experiments conducted by the In
vestgators in a commercial factory
showed that by the use of these cul-
lures or starters the faults commonly
found in milk delivered to Swiss
cheese factories early in the Spring
may be overcome and good cheese
made at that season. Moreover 1t is
possible to make cheese successfully
once day instead of twice, the pre-
vailing practice.
Making cheese twice day calls for
long hours for the factory hands and
has other disadvantages. 1t was also
found that cheese could be made in
Winter as well as in Summer. About
per cent of starter gave the best
results, the amount varying, however
with the condition of the culture. De.
tailed information in regard to these
and similar points is published In the
bulletin.

The palatability of silage Is large
factor in its favor, along with the fact
that it keeps the digestive system in
good order in the Winter. 1t does
not render the actual yield of the
field double, but in assimilation of
the feed units 1t adds large per cent
to the efficiency of the feed material.
This, combined with the conven-
fences, brings the per cent of the ad-
vantages of silo well up.

House Centipede Found
Useful but Unwelcome

THE house centipede, although dis
/ agreeable in appearance, feeds
on small cockroaches, the typhoid fly,
and other still more disagreeable in
seets and therefore would not seem
altogether an undesirable visitor in
ones house. However, as one of the
Department of Agriculture's entomol-
ogists says in a recent Farmers Bull
letin (No. 627), dealing with this in
sect, its uncanny appearance IS
hardly calculated to inspire conf
dence, and it will unquestionably bite
in self-defense, although very few
cases of its having bitten any human
being are on record" 1t does not
feed on household goods and woolens,
although many housewives hold this
belief.
The house centipede is Southern
species, its natural home being in the
latitude of Texas, but it has slowly
spread mort h ward, and having
reached New York and Massachusetts
about 80 years ago, it is now very
common in these states and extends
westward well beyond the Mississippi.
1t is very delicate creature and al
most impossible to catch, having a
worm-like body about an inch long
of a grayish yellow color. The name
"centipede" is misleading, as it does
not possess a hundred legs, but no
more than 80, although the speed at
which it travels across the floor does
not give the ordinary observer suffi-
cient time to count them. Its head
is armed with a pair of very long,
slender "feelers.'
The bulletin advises the house
keeper who feels that the centipede
has become pest in her house to use
fresh pyrethrum powder near bath
rooms, closets, cellars, Conservatives,
and storerooms where it may hide it.
self. The suggestion is also given
that all moist places should be kept
free from any objects, such as flower
pots, mops or dirty rags behind which
the insect may conceal itself.
1t is very questionable whether the
centipede would ever, unproyoked, at
tack any human being or other large
animal, still ii it is pressed with the
bare hand or foot or is caught be
tween sheets in beds it will probably
bite, and a few cases on record show
that severe swelling and pain may re
suit, for the insect belongs to a poi
sonous group of centipedes. The
wound can hardly be called danger
Gus, however, and prompt DRESSING
with ammonia is recommended to al
leviate the disagreeable symptoms.
The centipede is in one respect llk'
spider in that it springs after it
prey and is very rapacious. Trained
observers have noticed that in cap
turing such pest as cockroach, tn
centipede springs over its prey, IN
closing and caging it with its man
legs after which it devours its victim
In the act of devouring moth 1t ha
been observed to keep its numerou
long legs vibrating with incredibl
swiftness, giving the appearance 0
a hazy spot surrounding the fluttel
ing moth.

While very great accuracy cannot
be claimed for these estimates, as
they are based on experience with
materials other than kelp, 1t is be-
lievd that they are approximately
correct and can be taken as an indi-
cation of what the items of expendi-
lures and proceeds may be. They in
dicate strongly that plant erected
and equipped for rendering cannery
waste can be applied with profit to
the treatment of kelp. Tho proviso
that the plant be equipped with a
drler of large capacity must be in
troduced. In the beginning of the
proposed industry the market on the
Pacific Coast would consume the en-
tire product, so that the high freight
rates to the Atlantic seaboard could
be avoided. This would add material
ly to the profits.
