A number of devices for excluding

plest and most practical of these is a
milking pail with q cover which re-
duces the area of the surface exposed
during the milking. In order to test
the efficiency of such a pail for keep
ing out dirt that would fall into an
open pail, experiments were carried
on at the Connecticut experiment sta

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 20 per
cent of the total number of bacteria
and Al per cent Of the acid-producing
bacteria were excluded from the fresh

The hills soon dry out below the seed
and they will not terminate. On high
land it would probably be better to
plant in a furrow. The hill not only
retards termination, but It confines
the root system of the plants when
they come up.
