AS TO DIRT AND DISEASE
Words Have Been Considered Synony- nous, but Science Has Proved
 the Contrary.

Fathers and mothers lucky enough to have both boys and girls know how clean the girls keep themselves and how the boys disregard dirt From earliest childhood the little girls hands and face are washed, and she eyades dress stains, combs her hair and tries to look nice. But every normal boy, up to the age of fourteen. reyels in dirt and looks forward to the Saturday night bath with virtuous con- tempt or dread. But boys do not suf- fer infectious diseases as much as girls. This was brought out in an in- vestigation made of $500 children of all ages and sexes. We requested the mothers themselves to report what diseases their children had had. Girls had had more infections than boys of the same age. This goes to support the modern view that dirt and disease have no necessary relation. It is not the dirt boys reyel in that does harm. 1t is the germs in other peoples bodies that should be dreaded The girls encounter infection more than the boys because they are more so- ciable meet other children more. and associate with them more intimately than boys do."-Doctor Hill.

IMPORTANCE OF MILK HOUSE
Difficult to Properly Care for Dairy Products in Summer Without
 Suitable Building.

During the hot weather it is almost impossible to care for dairy products on the farm without a suitable milk house. o. E. Reed of the Kansas Ag- riculturaI college offers the following;
 AIilk must be produced under sani- tary conditions, and to do this the milk house should be either separate from the dairy barn or arranged in such way that odors from the barn do not get to it.
 A 10 by 12-foot milk house is a good size for the average farm. It should be built with a cement floor and have 8 drain at the center to carry away the waste. The equipment should con- sist of a refrigerating tank, 30 by 36 inches, inside measure. This will ac- commodate four milk cans. There should also be cooler, aerator, wash and separator.
 A windmill on the side nearest the refrigerating tank will pump cold wa ter from the we'll into one corner of

COURTESY ON TELEPHONE No Reason Why lt Should Be Foroot. ten Because One May Be
 in Hurry.

T thought the telephone was a most informal instrument" objected one girl to another who had spoken of tel ephone etiquette.
 Etiquette" said the other, 4'is sim ply courtesy, and naturally one can be as courteous over the telephone as anywhere else, but how many of us are?"
 It certainly is exasperating to h< given wrong number: but to speak Tn a sharp. angry tone to the person who answers the phone under such circumstances is as unjust as it is inl- polite. Instead of rudely requesting him to ring off," you should say, 'T beg your pardon" as if you really meant it.
 Many women have an exasperating way of asking, "Who is this ?' when someone answers their call whose voice they do not recognize Always ask for the person you want to speak 10. and mention who wants her.
 In talking to business people be brief as possible, for their time is valuable. Girls who have the tele- phone habit should be made to realize that 1t is most embarrassing for en- ployees to be called to the phone dur Ing business hours unless the message is very important, and that an en- ployer is not pleased, to say the least, when he sees his clerks wasting his time talking social matters over the telephone.
 Don't impose upon your friends good nature by telephoning from house or office without offering to pay for the call. Above all else, when you phone "eut it short" It is difficult to realize that pleasure can be had from gossiping into hole in the wall, but it is a temptation to many. Say what you have to say and get through with it. Don't keep the wire occupied with aimless chatter when, perhaps, it is urgently needed for an important mes- sage.

Have a Good Bed.

In Farm and Preside a contributor, writing a practical article about mat tresses and other provisions for beds, makes the following general comment:
 "In furnishing a home the housewife should give most careful thought to the beds and their equipment We spend at least a third Of our lives in bed, and it is worth while to make that third pleasant and refreshing. The best mattresses and springs are none too good when one is storing up strength for some work. Besides, as is the case with most household pur. chases, the best are really the cheap >st in the end"

ARE YOUR COWS EFFICIENT?
Milk Scales and Babeoek Tester Es- sentaI in Conducting Successful
 Dairy-Discard Boarders.

Putting the efficiency test to COWS with the milk scales and the Bab- cock tester is one of the essentials of conducting a successful dairy. When feed is high in price farmer cannot afford to have boarders in his dairy barn who eat up more in feed than their milk yield is worth. The Bab- cock test will show these delinquent cows in their true light, and the milk scales will put the clincher on the argument Testing COWS will give some farmers a big surprise. Some time the COW that looks like the poor est creature in the lot is the best butterfat producer.
 Cow testing associations among .dairymen afford the most economical use of the Babcock tester and the scAleg

DAIRY NOTES
Regularity in feeding pays.

Regularity in feeding pays.
 The more the study, the greater the success in dairying.
 The difference is in the COW, rather than the feed or milker or the ehurn.
 The farm separator is too good a stepmother for the calf to get along without.
 The more a man appreciates the maternity of the dairy COW the better dairyman he is.
 Immediately after milking, strain the milk from the pail through three thicknesses of cheese cloth.
 Some cows not only do not make a profit but are kept at loss, as they do not give enongh milk to pay for their feed.
 It is not hard for dairy farmer to sleep well on cold winter nights when he has a silo full of corn and barn full of hay.
 Grain and feed marketed through the butter mold and the cream can will generally bring top prices. no matter how the market may be for your grain and feed
