KILLING MILK BACTERIA
NC OBJECTION TO PAsTEURizA.
TON WHEN PROPERLY DONE.
Seems Probable That Within Few
Years Supply for Large Cities Will
Be Thus Treated-Three Proc.
esses Now in Use.

There is no valid objection to pas
tenrizatiOn when properly performed.
and the process makes safer even the
most carefully handled and inspected
milk. 1t seems probable that within
the next two years a large proportion
OF the milk supply In the large cities
will be pasteurized. There is already
marked tendency In this direction.
Before the value of pasteurization
as hygienic measure was as well
recognized as 1t is today. it was prac-
ticed In secret by number of milk
dealers as means of preserving milk
and preventing It from souring. Its
commercial value In this respect is
undoubtedly great, but its chief func-
ton is the destruction of disease-pro-
ducing organisms. Proper pasteuriza-
ton should destroy about 80 per cent
of all the bacteria in the milk, al
though when the bacterial count Of the
raw milk is low the reduction may be
somewhat smaller. The efficiency of
the process, it is pointed out. cannot

0MELET AS IT SHOULD BE
Perfect Preparations Are Absolutely
Necessary II OeIicacy Is to
Be . Success.

Many a good coDk admits herself a
failure when 1t cmes to making an
omelet. This simple dish is exceed
ingly difficult to make successfully.
and unless one knows Just how to pro-
coed the Omelet, instead of being light
and fluffy. will be fiat, heavy and un-
appetizing.
To make IN omelet you must keep
the pan for this purpose only. Do NOT
wash it, but clean 1t out well with
paper after use. If you need to make
omelets of varying size keep small
and a large pan. 1t is more difficult
TO make small Omelet nicely In q
large than In small pan.
Have fairly hot fire ready, melt
some fat In the pan. just enough to
grease 1t all over and no more. and
make certain that the pan is hot
Break the eggs one by one into a cup
to be sure they are fresh then place
in a bowl and whip well. The mixing
must be thorough or the white will set
in streaks and not mingle with the
yOlk as 1t should do. The whites
should not be beaten separately. as is
the custom of many cooks. This is
only needed when making an omelet
sOuffle.
Add salt and pepper, and If liked
little chopped parsley, and should a.
taste of onion be liked half tea
spoonful Ito two eggs) of onion juice
Now pour the mixture into the hot
pan. It should cover 1t thinly. Shake
about well over the fire. An expert
enced omelet cook will not need to
use fork, but will turn the omelet
one-half over the other by means of
IA showing forward sort of shake of the
pan.
The side of the egg mixture which
touches the pan will cook quicker than
the other, but when folded the inner
heat will cook 1t still more in the few
seconds which elapse between the
cooking and serving of the dish. Place
on hot dish and serve Immediately
Some cooks roll the omelet into pam
cake form by means of shaking the
pan; others merely fold it. The omelet
should be fiaky and moist inside and
just set-not in the least hard on the
outside. As rule the fault of the
making lies in insufficient mixing of
the egg and over cooking. When n
fancy omelet Is needed dice of ham
may be stirred In or mince, spinach

or cooked asparagus tops placed on
one-half and the second half folded
over.

Delicate Summer Blend.

Put about three inches Of freshly
made Ceylon tea the strength you like
1t in tall glass; add finely crushed
ice, three or four thin slices of lemon
or lines and fill up with hot water.
The fusion makes delicious flavor
If blended hot and when 1t is thor
oughly cold. taken without sugar IT
seems to refresh the cool, while the
extreme faintness of the flavor is far
nicer than strong tea. Try it.-Wom-

USING WHEAT FOR HOG FEED
In Experimental Work Carried
On at Missouri College.
By L A. WEAVER. Missouri Asricsi-

tBy L A. WEAVER, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.l
The Missouri agricultural expert
ment station has obtained information
of value to pork producers. especially
in seasons when the corn crop is short.
by carrying on experimental work with
conducting feeding trials with wheat
il has been shown that under some
conditions wheat may well be used for
hog feeding instead of corn. Results
obtained show that when corn Is worth
70 cents or more a bushel. wheat may
be prOfitably substituted for corn. IL
the wheat is worth 80 cents or less
Likewise If corn is worth 81 cents per
bushel. wheat is worth $l.O3 bushel
as hog feed.
1t has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by adj
ding small amount of tankage to q
mixture of corn and wheat than by
feeding these feeds without such q
supplement.
For example, the cost of producing
100 pounds of pork with corn and tank
age was 60 cents less than when
corn alone was used This would
mean an additional profit to the pro-
Queer of 500 or more on each carload
of hogs fed.
The results of these tests are report

ing Wheat to Fattening Hogs. pub.

WHITEWAsH ABOUT THE FARM
Recipe Given by Nebraska College Of
Apriculture-Great Help in De-
stroying Insects.

For general use about the farm
buildings to assist in destroying in
sects, the following recipe for white
wash is offered by the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture: Stake FIVE quarts
of lime with hot water to about the
consistency of cream. To this add
one pint of zenoleum or some other
kerosene. Dilute with about its vol
ume Of water; apply with brush or
a pump. This solution when properly
applied accomplishes three things:
"a Zenoleum acts as dsinfectant
by killing disease germs; (2) the
Kerosene aids in destroying mites;
and (2) the lime whitens the house.

Sink Arranged for Pasteurization Of
Milk.

Milk.
be based on the per cent, but rather
on the character Of the bacteria de-
stroyed. 1870 ,as
The kinds Of bacteria that remain
alive after pasteurization depend on
the temperature to which the milk Is
heated and the species Of bacteria
which are in the raw milk. Three
processes Of pasteurization, known re-
spectively as the fash process. the
holder process and pasteurization In
the bottle, are now practiced in this
country. In the flash process the milk
is raised quickly to temperature of
about 100 degrees F. or more, held
there for from 80 seconds to a minute,
and then cooled quickly. In the holder
process the milk Is heated to a tenn
perature of from 40 degrees to $50
degrees F. and held there for half an
hour. When pasteurization in bottles
Is practiced. the raw milk Is put into
bottles with water-tight seal caps.
which are immersed in hot water and
held for from 20 to 80 minutes at u
temperature Of 145 degrees F. In this
way the pasteurized milk is not sub
jected to any danger Of reinfection.
On the other hand. the seal caps must
be absolutely tight and this involves
increased cost. In general, It may be
said that the holder process IS coming
into greater favor than either of the
others. This process permits Of the
use of lower temperatures which, for
various reasons. is highly desirable.

RATE OF SEEDING FLAX CROP
Where Rainfall Is Not More Than
Twenty Inches Twenty Pounds
to Acre Is Recommended.

Where the annual rainfall is not
more than 20 inches, flax need not be
sown at a greater rate than 20 pounds
to the acre. This should be reduced
to Is pounds under drier conditions.
Where the rainfall Is more than 70
inches, a slightly higher yield may be
obtained If 25 pounds are sown to the
acre. The sowing Of more than 25
pounds to the acre on nonirrigated
land does not pay.

Industrial Law Branded Unfair.

Resolutions condemning the State
Industrial Commission and demanding
the repeal of the law by which it was
created were passed without dis
senting vote by the Colorado Fedora
ton of Labor at the Colorado Springs
meeting. The resolution declared
that the commission has usurped the
rights and liberties Of laboring men
and that the repeal of the law for
every section and paragraph would
be made paramount issues of the COM
ing election. Resolutions in favor of
law framed to wrest from judges
the power of granting injunctions
were also introduced by the commit
tee and adopted. The convention
overwhelmingly favored the resolution
urging upon Governor Carlson, labor
commissioners and district attorneys
the enforcement Of the Colorado wom-
ans eight-hour law. By vote of S.
to q, the convention adopted a reso-
luton in favor of the beer" amend
ment. This provides for the manu-
facture and sale in Colorado of beer
in original packages. Rose Winslow
of Pennsylvania, formerly factory
girl and now an inspector for the
Consumers league, made an i'm
passioned appeal to the convention
for organized labor to urge passage
by Congress Of the amendment for
woman suffrage.

METAL OUTPUT VALUE $43,426, 6e7

Geological Survey Figures Show In
crease for Year of $s,s66,571.
Denver.-The value of Colorado's
gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc
production in 1915, as shown by the
final figures of Charles w. Hender-
son of the United States Geological
Survey, was $43,426,697. This was an
of the production in 1914.
The gold production was $22,414,-

preceding year. The value of the sill.
yer output was $3,563,1S2, decrease
of $1,301,042 The copper production
of the state was valued at $1,244,694,
an increase of s361,6S4. The lead out
put was $3,234,09s, an increase OF
$S39,S34, and the zinc output was $12,-
969,779, an increase Of $S.034 ,256.
The report shows that four-fifths of
the increased value of the states min
eral production was due to the in
creased output of zinc. The state had
S21 producing mines, or forty-five less
than the preceding year. Lake and
Pitkin counties produced consider
ably more than half of the states to-
tai lead output. Almost half the
mines operated were in Boulder,
Clear Creek, Gilpin and Lake coun-
ties.
The increased value of the output
was due more to increased prices
than output, as shown by the total
gain in short tons Of ore treated
only 1868. The production of silver
in the state fell off 1,67s,00O fine
