Rubber Company
Plans Additions

One Of the best indications OF the
steady growth Of the automobile in
dustry at the present time is the fact
that several OF the leading tire manu-
facturers have found il necessary to
largely increase the size OF their plant
in order to take care OF the CON
stantly expanding business.
The latest announcement OF such
construction activities comes from the
Federal Rubber company OF Cudahy,
Wis, which has recently awarded
contracts for three large new build
ings for manufacturing shipping and
storehousc purposes. These buildings
will be OF fireproof construction and
equipped throughout with the most
podcrn equipment obtainable.
These additions to the Federal
plant are made necessary, il is said
in part, by the phenomenal increase
in the demand for Federal tires. and
also by the constantly increasing
volume OF mechanical rubber goods
now being produced and marketed
under the Federal brand.

KEEPING MILK SWEET
Absolute Cleanliness the First
Great Essential.
II Kept on Ice Almost From Time Of
Milking There Will Be Little De-
veIopment of Bacteria
Points for Cooling.
CBy w. r. WRIGHT.)


1t is a well-known fact that milk
does sour, but not everyone is ac-
quainted with the changes which take
place during the souring process, the
cause of these changes, and how TO
prevent them. A knowledge of the
changes which take place during the
period of sOuring, and their causes,
enables one, taking reasonable precau-
tons, to preserve milk in its naturally
sweet condition for IA number of addi-
tional hours.
Milk contains sugar, known as
milk sugar, which is changed by the
action of the smallest of plant forms.
called bacteria, into Tactic acid. When
about one-half of One per cent of this
acid has been produced, the milk-chrd
separates and forms a solid mass with
clear acid whey about it. This acid
preserves the curd by preventing the
action of bacteria which would rot the
curd and produce offensive odors.
Two classes of bacteria begin to
grow and multiply in milk shortly aft
er milking; the Tactic which sours the
milk, and the digesting which rots the
curd. The latter class is like the Oat-
plant, in that it is able to grow at
a low temperature. while the Tactic,
like the compliant. grows best at the
higher temperatures.

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING
Soil Is Generally in Better Condition
Than in Spring-Weeds and
Insects Destroyed.

By ]. l.. HERS. Louisiana Experiment
Station)
The soil is generally in better condi-
ton in the fall for blowing than in
the spring. Fall plowirg gives a bet
ter texture to the soil and causes a
greater liberation of plant food due
TO the action of the weather. By turn
under earlier it has. of course, more
time to rot and to become thorough
ly Incorporated with the soil.
Fall blowing causes many of the
weed seeds to terminate, thereby de-
creasing this pest the following spring
Many insects are turned to the surface
and killed by the frosts.
The time for fall blowing should be
largely matter of convenience. The
heavier soils can be safely plOwed
first. Land with great deal of vege-
table matter TO be turned under should
be plOwed early in order to give this
matter more time to'rot. In the spring
there is not always time for the prop
err preparation of the soil, especially
where the crops are 10 be planted
early. so it is good farm management
to do a part of this preparation in the
fall.
1t isn't always the best plan to pillow
sandy lands in the fall unless they are
also seeded to a cover crop, otherwise
there is apt to be much loss from
and erosion. 1t is much more
important to put a cover crop on sandy
soils than on heavy. soils, especially
If the land is not entirely level.

because the temperature is low enough
10 prevent rapid growth of Tactic bac-
terra.
This temperature, however, is more
favorable for the digesting class of
bacteria. which hnparts an old. stale
odor to the milk, and renders the milk
partly unfit for use. If milk is kept
on Ice almost from the time of milk
ing, there will be but very little devel-
Opment of either class of bacteria, and
the milk will be in prime condition
after several days.
For the most rapid cooling of milk,
the following points should be OBJ
served:
l. That cold air is better than no
attempt at cooling.
,. That. -cOld water is more rapid
than cold air.
3. That an occasional stirring hast
ems the cooling process.
4. That ice water is much more
rapid than air of the same tempera-
ture.
.. That mixture of ice water and
salt Is the most efficient cooling agent.
