ATTENTION TO CARE OF MILK
Average Farmer Can Apply Principles
Of Sanitation as Well as
Small Dairyman.

With the advent of the bacterial
count that is run on milk in larger
cities of the country, and the careful
inspection of diaries by state officials
more attention is being paid to the
care of milk in all phases of its pro.
duCtiOn.
Although the bacterial count is not
practical for the product of the aver
age farmer the principles of sanita-
ton can be applied by him, almost as
easily as by the small daifyman. Wash
ing the udder and teats of the COW
and drying them each time with a
clean cloth before milking is one OF
the simplest, and yet most important
steps.
Reliable dairymen have said it is
impossible for clean milk to be pro-
duced if the mixer works with wet
hands. Almost invariably B. coli (a
cause of intestinal troubies} will be
found in the milk that is gotten un-
der such circumstances.

FIVE-CALK SHOE FOR HORSES
New Jersey Veterinarian Claims Extra

ing Value of Animal.

A New Jersey veterinarian, in re-
cent article in the Journal of the Amer
lean Veterinary Association, advises a
shoe with five callls instead of the Gus
tomary three. The two extra ealks are
placed, one on the middle of each side
of the shoe. 1t is claimed that these
two extra calks prevent the undue side
strain on the foot which so often
causes lameness with the three-calked
shoe. The New Jersey veterinarian
making the suggestion, claims that this
will add 100 per cent to the working
value of horses, and he closes his ar
ticle with the following:
"Will someone give just one reason
why shoes having but three calks ever
should be used, or will anyone offer
q single objection to the use Of two
additional calks?"

WAR THREATENS FLOWERS
BY ELIZABETH VAN RENTHUYSEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
1t is good, far cry from the grim
horrors of war to the pretty hyacinth
and the crOcus, but recent news brings
the interesting information that the
great European conflict Is presenting
serious menace to the chief source
Of imported bulbs.
Private adyiceS received in New
York from flower folk in Holland,
who cannot be considered as preju-
diced or even interested in the larger
affairs of state, say that there is dam
ger of having the bulb supply for the
next half century destroyed. Holland
has her army ready to fight either
side, and she has a number of issues
which might make her entry possible.
AS a first item of defense she plans
to flood all the lands in her dixie sys-
tenn.
This, say the flower experts, will re-
suit in the destruction of the great
bulb industry. Not for so years, ac-
cording to the sages of flowerdom.
will the industry recover from such q
calamity.
All of which is but a news preface
to the remark that the raising of bulbs
in pots, pans and glasses during the
winter months is simple and mex
pensive process if one is fairly care
full of the requirements. Among the
many methods by which bulbs can be
successfully grown, there are:
In soil placed in pots and pans, with
drainage at the bottom.
In fiber which is light, SpOngy ma
terial, prepared with view to prevent
souring. Bowls, jardinieres, vases or
any other receptacles where the roots
can take hold may De used.
In water, with pebbles Or sand in the
bottom of glasses, to prevent the bulbs
from falling over.
Hyacinths, narcissus, daffodils, tu-
lips and crOcus are among the joys
that are easily possible with little eff
fort. Almost every dealer in the cOun-
try has his stock of bulbs ready for
the market.
If forcing is wanted. the larger bulbs
should be taken. They grow larger
and stronger flowers. The last of No

HARDNESS Of JERSEY cow

Herself to All Conditions, Gil

A criticism often directed against
the Jersey breed is that the animals
are not hardy enough to stand severe
weather.
Possibly such criticism has as its
basis the fact that the climate of Jer-
sey island. the birthplace Of the
breed, is rather mild. But the criti-
cism has no basis; in fact, Eminent's

the same, excepting that tulips take
more time than the others.
Here are a few hints:
A six-inch pot is the best for all
purposes.
Use light garden soil in pOtting.
Place piece of broken pot over the
hole in the bottom to secure free drain
age.
Fill the pot three-Quarters with soil.
Three hyacinths, as many narcissus,
five tulips and a dozen crocuSeS can
be placed in six-inch pot.
Space evenly.
The practice of placing a layer of
clean sand directly under the bulbs is
always good. 1t helps keep the newly
formed roots clean, but it is not es-
sential to success. A dark corner of
the cellar is good place to place the
pots. The keeping of the soil damp
is thereby aided. In the winter prop
er some of the qu1ck-growing species
may be grown in water. Hyacinths,
paper-white narcissus and sacred Chi
nese lilies are among the best for this
purpose. Fill the glass with water.
so that it just touches the bottoms of
the bulbs, and set in a dark place I'M
til the glass is filed with roots. Then
bring into the room, and change the
water once or twice week. Tempera-
ture of from 60 to 65 degrees is about
right for the venture.
Personally, like to experiment with
bulbs. The results are usually assured
with small care.

Lives on Flies

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 To the naturalist or to anyone ac- customed to observe nature closely. the fact is apparent that the problems of existence are proportionately the same in every form or stratum of life. Even the common housef1y. which seemingly has nothing else to do but to crawl lazily over whatever is left uncovered and then go hap billy on its way, doing its best to bring about an utilization between the clean and the unclean, occasionally meets it's Nemesis in the form of a tiny crab-like creature which attaches it. self to the flys legs.
 These little creatures are known to the scientist as pseudo scorpions, or cheifers. They may sometimes be found between the leaves of old books that have stood unused for long time and also beneath the bark of trees and in mosses.
 Although they are called false SCOT pions they resemble the true scorpion closely in general structure except for their minute size. But they have nc poison gland as the true scorpions have. They attach themselves to other insects also, but they seem to be the special pest of the houseflies Scien- lists suppose that they seize the fly's legs and hold on until the fly dies either worried or frightened to death by the undesirable presence. When the fly is dead the little creature feeds on the body.

Americas Unique Holiday

Thanksgiving is not only distinctively American holiday. but as distinctively re- ligious in it's import. Whenever one re- calls the circumstance of it's inception this fact is brought out afresh, but even the mention of the word Thanksgiving carries with it the religious suggestion Thankful to whom, if not to the Infinite Giver of all good?
 Proclamations of President and gover- nors center about the call of gratitude to God. This the church takes up when ii throws open its doors for worship and praise. Should it ever come to pass that the element of devout giving of thanks and public worship disappear from the day. 1t would be well to strike it from the list of national holidays.
 From the beginning material blessings have bulked large in the observance. not only in the heavily loaded tables but in in the religious service of praise. Believing men every day thank the Almighty for daily bread but 1t is well on one day of the year to give thanks for the abund- ance of our nationwide physical blessings
 Looking across the seas to the peoples who for more than two years have en- dured the ravages and suffering and loss of war, America should this year be doubly grateful for the peace we still en- joy and the boundless material prosperity that has come to us as nation.

HUPP CAPITAL CAR
 CONTINUES TRIP An Interesting Letter From Touring Party Gives Some
 Idea of Run

''From darkness to daylight" is the title given by c. F. Salisbury, pilot of the capital-to-capital HupmobIe, to a letter written from Las Vegas, N NJ. In the letter Salisbury describes how the crew toiled up the eastern slope of the Great Divide, blowing through snow drifts, shovelng their way part of the time, nearly dead from the cold. to find summer waiting for them at the sum- init. In less than two hours they had passed from the dead of winter to weather that called for rolled up sleeves and unbuttoned vests.
 One hundred and eight-nine miles covered today. but 5000 miles nearer the This is the way the boys feel after bat ting with winter for the best part of a month.
 Since crossing the Great Divide the tour car has made better than 200 miles a day. Santa Fe, N. NJ, and Phoenix Ariz., were made so quickly that we, back here in the office, rushed to our maps to see if the two towns had been moved nearer together. From Phoenix, the party went to Tucson When next heard from they were headed for Fl
