Any system that will tighten the

ta1nly be adopted, When cream is
sold all that is necessary is to see
that the cream is cooled after being
separated and to take it along to town
twice a week in winter and three
times in summer
1t may be that few farmers wives
will fird special customers that will
take the butter at a price equal to

not apply to many. Even then surplus
butter will be left on hand at times
Again there may not be enough to

these troubles do not come to annoy.
Any quantity, much or little, can be

and cash received on the spot.

PASTEURIZED MILK is BEST
Low Temperature Does Not Affect
Nutritive Value or DioestibiIity
Of the Product.

When milk is held at las degrees F
for 80 minutes, all the disease-produc-
ing bacteria, SO far as can be ascer-
tanned, are completely destroyed. At
the same time a larger percentage OF
the bacteria that cause milk to sour
and a smaller percentage Of those
that cause it to rot are left than when
a higher temperature is employed.
Pasteurized at low temperature, milk
undergoes no change which affects its
nutritive value or its digestibility. Sub
lection to temperature OF $50 degrees
F. or more, however, does result in
certain chemical changes. The time
is coming when virtually all market
milk sold at retail in cities will be
pasteurized.

Caustic potash is the chemical used
for preventing the growth of horn on
young calves. The application must
be made before the calf is one week
old, in order to be effective.
The hair is clipped away from the
small buttons which may be felt and
which are the future horns. A stick
of caustic potash is then moistened
and rubbed on the spot until the skin
bleeds slightly.
The calves must not be permitted
to run out in the rain for several
days after the application of the caus
tic, as the water is likely to wash the

klEIGHBORHOOD improvement is
~ home improvement multiplied. 1t
is the sum of all the efforts made to
make houses look attractive and beau
tiful.
Neighborhood improvement illus
trates the influence of a good deed
well done. On a. dingy street one
householder starts to improve the ap-
pearance of his home. He keeps yard
and house spick and span. He paints
his house, fences and 0utbuildings He
plants grass, flowers and shrubbery.
Soon his neighbofs notice the i'm
provement. They begin to clean up.
paint up and green up. Within few
months the street is transformed
1t not only looks better, but it is
better. People are happier and more
neighborly. Property values have in
creased. Neighborhood improvement
has worked a before and after"
change that is really wonderful.
One of the modern poets has been
inspired by neighborhood improve
ment work in his own town to ex-
press himself in the following lam
guage:
Little beds Of flowers,
Little cans Of paint,
Make attractive neighborhoods
Out Of those that amt.
In many villages, towns and cities
Clean Up and Paint Up effort has be-
come popular in recent years The i'm
mediate results have been a marked
improvement in the appearance Of the
places in which they have been At
tempted.
In a certain western town one Of the
residence streets with row of about
fifteen houses was the shame Of all
the public-spirited citizens. Houses
we're greatly in need Of repairs and
paint. They looked bad and they kept
looking worse every year. Finally one
Of the good citizens got an idea. He
went to the owner of the house In the
middle Of the block.
Il want to make you proposition
he said. IF you will permit me will
give you, without cost, all the paint
necessary to paint your house II you
will do the work"
The owner accepted the proposition
and later the paint was delivered. The
philanthropist exacted the promise
that the owner would not tell any OF
his neighbors that the paint was
gift.
In the course of time the house was
painted and the effect was marvellous
to behold Like . new house 1t stood
among its dingy neighbors as conspi-
cuous as a fairy in a minstrel show.
The owners of the other houses no
ticed the contrast They saw how
miserably poor the newly painted
house made theirs look. One after
the other they went to the stores and
ordered paint. During that season ev-
cry one of the fifteen houses was
painted and the premises cleaned and
the street became one Of the best look
ing in town.
That is what was accomplished
when one man started to improve his
home. If whole neighborhoods, street
by street, should start to improve In
our town what tremendous difference
it would make in the appearance OF
this community. Let's get together
and try it.
