DAIRYMEN VERSUS THE DAIRY
Clean Milk, According to Medical
Experimenters.

number Of American medical ex-
perts and experimenters in hygiene
made study to determine the most
important factor in the production of
clean milk-the dairy or the dairyman
and have come to the conclusion
that the dairyman is the chief factor
and the dairy of secondary Importance.
The clean dairyman may be trans
ported from dairy to dairy and can
make clean milk wherever he goes.
1t is said that if all the nonessentials
or matters of secondary Importance
are eliminated, the factors which even
alone are sufficient to produce under
the conditions found in ordinary
dairies a milk so clean that it will
have with great regularity a bacterial
count less than 10000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter are as follows:
Milking with dry hands into covered
milking pals, the proper washing and
sterilization of milking pals and milk
cans, cooling the milk by placing the
cans in tanks of cold water or ice wa
ter, regular laboratory testing of the
milk for bacteria, and payments based
on the laboratory tests.

Good stable management is an i'm

She must have a comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have SUM-

have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be pro-
vided with some system of ventila-

This need not be expensive, only a
little forethought and a few dollars
worth of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least
twice day, or better still. have an
automatic water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling floor and sides should be all
smooth and of concrete construction,

HOW TO GROW BLACKBERRIES
Fruit Will Not Thrive in Dry Places,
Plenty of Moisture Is Needed
Cultivate Constantly.

Blackberries need plenty of mois-
ture and it will not pay to plant them
on the top of some dry knoll; for the
fruit will not grow to perfection in
such dry places. and it will be hard
and sour. Choose a place where the
ground is of good quality, and where
there is plenty Of moisture.
Prepare the ground thoroughly by
blowing and narrowing before plant
ing, and make the ground mellow
down quite deep where you set the
plants. You cannot be too particular
in this respect-remember you are set
ting them out for profit and not simply
to see whether they will grow or not.
They should be set about four feet
apart one way, and eight feet the
other way
Keep the ground loose by constant
cultivation, and the sooner you can
get good large bush, the sooner you
will get fruit, and keeping the ground
loose will help to keep it moist

In the generality Of cases, heifers
with their first calf do not show as

A period of rest before freshening

A man can better afford to sell but

"Piay Ball, Never Mind the Shells"
The German artillery were doing
their best to erase small town from
the map, says a war correspondent.
Every fe.y minutes there would be
deafening crash and the remains
of a house would soar skywards en-
veloped In a cloud of smoke.
In a field in the outskirts of the
town some Canadian soldiers, relieved
from the trenches for a few days,
were indulging in their favorite game
of baseball. The pitcher had Just
pitched the ball and the batsman had
hit an easy catch to one of the field
ers when huge shell landed In the
adjoining field The fielder's attention
was fixed on the shell, which burst
with deafening crash. and he missed
the catch.
For the love of Mike" reared the
pitcher, IF you are going to play
baseball, play baseball. and quit watch
ing the shells"
