GOOD USE FOR DRAIN PIPE
With Proper Decoration II Can es
Made Into Useful and Ornamental
Umbrella Stand.

Drain pipes make most excellent
stands for sticks. umbrellas, golf clubs,
plants, brooms. etc, It is impossible
to knock them over. and II treated to q
little simple decoration. they become
ornamental as well as useful.
These pipes can usually be had from
builders. or at any place where build.
ing is going on several are sure to be
left over. and they can be bought very
cheaply.
The pipe will need covering all over
with some enamel. paint or paper
Some very good effects can be got
by covering the pipe over with left
over paper; thick paper would be suit
able for the purpose, such as embossed
paper that IL used for halls or for CELL
ings.
II the pipe Is only to stand in a
pantry as receptacle for brooms, II
could be covered with almost any kind
Of leftover wall paper.
AS a rule. the best plan is to enamel
the pipe; give one coat, let that dry,
then give another, or paint It with a
Iuiht ti3ut NuiHisueS Ut tue Same tlIl1c.
Such paint can be had in all artistic
shades of color: the tone. of course,
will depend upon the surrounding dec.
orations. Leave 1t to dry for several
days; 1t can then be decorated little
further.
For this purpose It is a good plan
to stencil a simple pattern round tho
top and bottom of II with another col
or; this can be done with ordinary
oil paint or gold or silver paint II
is a matter Of only a few minutes to
paint the stencil on the pipe, and the
effect is very good. For those who

Various methods OF clarifying milk,
such as straining. filtering. sedimenta-
tion. and the use Of centrifugal ma
chimes. have been employed both in
this country and in Europe. Some of
these have been fairly successful In
removing both dirt and bacteria, but
none has proved entirely satisfactory.
One important objection to such meth
ods Of handling milk. especially In the
small dairy, is that they require con.
siderable time. and some of them ad.

the cost Of production. II Is much

which get into the milk are greatly
reduced.
A number OF devices for excluding
the dirt have been tried In this coun
try and In Europe. One Of the sim
plest and most practical OF these is q
milking pail with a cover which re
duces the area OF the surface expose ed
during the milking. In order to test
the efficiency Of such pail for keep
ing out dirt that would fall into an
open pail. experiments were carried
on at the Connecticut experiment sta
tion which resulted in the following
The amount or dirt In the milk from
the covered pail was only 81 per cent
of that in the open pail. By the use OF
the covered pail an average of 29 pei
cent of the total number of bacteria
and Al per cent of the acid-producine
bacteria were excluded from the fresh
milk.

CARE FOR Watermelon CROP
Frequent Cultivation is Recommended
by c. X. Mcouarrie Of Florida
Experiment Station.

Frequent cultivation for water
melons is recommended by c. X. Nc.
Quarrie of the Florida experiment sta.
tion. They should be plowed with
some shallow-running tool until they
cover the ground. At the last culti.
vation some hay crop should be plant
ed between the rows. A legume is pre-
ferred. Mr.. McQuarrie does not rec.
ommend the planting of watermelons
in raised hills. except on fatwoods.
The hills soon dry out below the seed
and they will not germinate. On high
iand 1t would probably be better to
plant In a iurrow. The hill not only
retards termination, but 1t confines
the root system OF the plants when
they come up.

OA|RY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today Is In highly
fourishing condition and Is bound In
n very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
n great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given II lot OF
useful advertising. The article known
rs Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier In the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer
who, having used II, is quick to ap'
preciate It's value. This means that
after the war there will be a demand
created for Il that would not other
wise have been. Up TO the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth It Is hoped
that this will be met. AS n matter OF
course the prices are high. and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect OF an ex'
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
edly be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese. the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential and In time II is bound to
become one OF the finest cheese coun-
tries OF the continent.
The lower foothills OF Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose. will In time produce
cheese I'm great quantities. and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping OF milk and cream and
cheese, and that Is n great thing for
the industry. especially when com
bned with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market. which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming. is
an exceedingly good one. and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced coupled with the high prices
realized. make this industry very prof
