DIVERSIFIED PLAN IN FAVOR
Farmer to Be Successful Must Know
Something Of Poultry a. Well
a. Hogs and Cattle.

Many skilled mechanics and work
men, even though sober and industri-
GUS, are hardly able to make living
by following their trades on account
of not having steady employment.
Shops will shut down or work half
time or less; mines will work half
time In winter and close In summer,
and, therefore, for those who work In
such places, there are seasons when
they must look elsewhere for job.

The same condition prevails with
the farmer today. To be successful
he must work on diversified system
He must know something Of poultry
raising as well as growing cattle and
hogs. you talk with most any fafm-
er who is getting along reasonably.
and he will admit that the poultry

FLAVOR AND AROMA
IN MAKING BUTTER
Quality Depends Largely on
Changes Made While Cream
Is in Ripening Process.

BY the ripening Of cream is meant
the changes 1t undergoes from the
time Of separation until 1t is added to
the churn. Upon these changes de-
pends very largely the quality of but.
ter as regards texture and favor. The
temperature at which cream is held
determines the firmness or texture,
while the flavor is dependent upon the
by-products from the bacterial growth.
The purpose Of ripening cream Is
fundamentally that Of giving the but.
ter the desired flavor and aroma, but
in addition 1t increases the ease and
efficiency of churning. Cream Is rip
ened in one of two ways:
First, II sours or ripens as a result
OF the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk or cream; !;
or,
Second. 1t ripens as a result of ac.
tion Of certain kinds of bacteria which
are added in what is termed start.

BEST KIND OF FARM TO BUY
May Be Mistake In Selecting Well
Farmed Land Rather Than Soil
That Has Been Neglected.

Most people in buying a farm would
select the land which has been well
farmed. rather than the neglected soil.
This might be mistake.
Many so-called rundown" farm is
not In such bad state after all. II
has not been farmed well enough to
run 1t down except In spots and on
the surface.
The real soil robber is the man
who plows deeply, tills we'll, and
makes the land give UP everything
there is in it. and puts nothing back.
In ten years he will run down farm
more than shiftless cutand.coverer
will do In thirty.
Tlllage stimulates every exhaustive
process in the soil. l. speeds up the
formation Of nitrogen and the work
ing up Of humus. Because OF the
large crops which 1t forces from the
soil 1t takes of great amounts of
lime, and tends to produce acidlty. It
draws heavily on the nitrogen, potash
and phosphorus.
To be sure one doesn't often see
such farming. for the man who is
smart enough to give the ground the
best treatment in tillage usually Is
intelligent enough to keep up the fer.
tility. But the greatest soil stimu-
liant In the world is good tillage.
Is that an objection to il? Not at
all.
The object of all good farming Is
to stimulate the processes Of produc-
ton. Those who speak of fertilizers
as soil stimrlants should remember
that they are no more such than barn
yard manure or the fifth time of plow.
ing the corn. Only now that we are
able by one method or another to
stimulate greater production we must
beware what we do with the power
II is a more effective tool for scoop
ing out the fertility in the soil.
Unless we keep up the balance by
manures or fertilizers, we shall make
the mistake OF the man learning to
draw large checks without making
deposits.

That good neighbors are the result

That the farmers club represents a

Sunshine is an amazingly potent
Eermicide for the farm housekeeper
and in the dairy and stables. The
practice Of exposing cooking and 9TH

food to direct sunlight makes use Of
this fact. although comparatively few

the sun in this regard Probably only
those. who are acquainted with tests
which have actually been made real

PROPER ATTENTION
TO DAIRY UTENSILS
All Pals and Cans Should Be
Heavily Timed and Seams
Covered With Solder.

GBy p. BENNETCH. West Virginia Ex-
pertinent Station.l
One Of the most frequent sources Of
contamination in milk lies In the i'm.
proper care of utensils. All milk pals
and cans should be heavily timed and
all seams covered up with solder 80
that there are no lodging places for
dirt, or crevices that are hard to clean.
Rusty utensils should never be used
In handling milk, since is is impo3si-
BILE to clean them thoroughly. All
dippers, pals, strainers, cans, ETC..
should be rinsed with cold water to
which some washing powder has been
added. In the washing process a brush
should be used rather than cloth,
as the cloth soon absorbs the milk,
and becomes filthy. After washing,
the utensils should be rinsed thorough
ly with steaming hot water. Do not
dry them with cloth; instead, in
cline them on clean shelf over pegs,
80 that the water will drain off read
lily. II the utensils are allowed to
drain out of doors the shelf or rack
should be at least four feet from the
ground and in location where they
are not exposed to dust.
The importance Of the sterilizing
process, while well understood by most
people, is quite frequently overlooked.
While milk vessels may look perfectly
clean after having been mashed, they
may still be contaminated with bac-
terra. These bacteria can be destroyed
only by proper sterilization, such as is
obtained by exposing the vessels to Q
boiling temperature for some length
OF time. Where only q small amount
Of milk is handled steam Is very often
not available and in such cases the
simplest method Of sterilizing ID to
place the vessels in boiling water for
five minutes.
Every farmers wife knows the
germicidal effects of sunshine. and
takes advantage Of It by placing her
fruit Jars where they are exposed to
the sun. The same Is true of milk
vessels, but too often they are placed
in the sun where they are also ex.
posed to dust and flies.

that the bacilli In such masses on

still alive in the material on wood
and muslin after 5, but dead In less
than 16 hours.

shine than the number of days they
remained alive in dark room.
As most varieties of disease germs
are more easily destroyed by germi-
cides than tubercle bacilli, and as tu.
bercle bacilli, in the thin layers In
which they are likely to adhere to
clothing, blankets, rugs. draperies,
furniture, walls, floors, ETC., are killed
by the rays Of the sun in less than
half an hour, though they remain alive
In dark places a month and longer, It
Is reasonable to draw the following
conclusions:
(a) As general sanitary principle
1t is desirable that all dwellings, sta.
bles, etc, should be 30 constructed
that an abundance of sunshine can
reach their interiors.
(b) As a general protective meas
ure against disease germs. 1t is an
excellent practice to expose uten.
sils for handling milk, and milk cans
after they have been cleaned, to d.
rect sunlight, and to hang or spread
wearing apparel. blankets, bedding,
rugs, horse blankets, etc. periodically
where the sun can shine on all parts
Of them.
