HIGH TEMPERATURE OF MILK
Bitterness VIII Not Be in Evidence
During Winter if Liquid Is KeTt
az SO or 60 Degrees.

Maybe you have had experience
with bitter milk and cream in the
winteTtime and wonder why you arc
never bothered that way in summer.
Is it the feed?
All the changes that occur in milk
and cream. such as souring, are due
to the action of bacteria-the little mi
crOscopic plants that nature has pro-
vided to tear down the larger plant
and animal tissues. If it were not for
bacteria nothing would decay.
But as in the higher plant life we
have weeds-so in the microscopic
plant life we have weeds-the unde-
sirable bacteria. The Tactic acid bac-
terra that sour milk and cream are
beneficial. They can quite readily be
controlled so as to be made useful
rather than harmful. But there is
class of weed bacteria that causes the
milk and cream to become bitter in
winter. These weed bacteria only
flourish in very low temperatures.
They are like some of the snow flow
erS OF the nigh mountain peaks, resist
ant to cold.
In summer, and in winter, if the
milk and cream are kept at summer
temperatures, they are kept in check
by the other kinds of bacteria, just as
ragweed is kept smothered out BY a
good growth of clover. In winter
when you allow your milk and cream
to get clear down to freezing the Tactic
acid, or souring bacteria, are not
growing. The bacteria that cause the
bitter flavor have full swing because
they flourish in cold milk.
If you want to overcome this bitter
flavor all you have to do is to keep
the milk and cream at a higher tenn
perature-say around so or go degrees
and the bitterness will not be in
evidence.

Central packing houses in areas
where the production of cantaloupes
is an important industry are suggested
in Farmers Bulletin, No. TOT, as a
promising means of solving some of
the problems Of the cantaloupe grower.
About one-haIf of the trouble in mar
keting cantaloupes, says this bulletin.
appears to arise from the difficulty of
securing a steady and properly pre-
pared output of uniform grade, quail
ity, and appearance. This difficulty
would be overcome to a large extent
If individual growers in any commu-
nifty produced crops of the same va
riety and quality, handled them in the
same way, and were both competent
and willing to grade and pack them
correctly. AS long, however, as each
grower packs and ships his own fruit,
uniform standard of quality and ap-
pearance is hardly possible.
In recent years the production of
cantalOupes has increased greatly and
as a result competition on the market
has become much keener. "On the 9TH
er hand" states the bulletin, years of
observation warrant the statement
that markets are rarely glutted with
fruits or vegetables of first-class quail
ity. Even when the market is over
stocked, well-graded and well-packed
products will be taken and the medic
ere stock left on the dealers hands,"
The individual cantaloupe grower,
therefore. will profit by seeing that his
product is as attractive as that of any
of his competitors. Further, the en-
tire cantaloupe industry will profit by
improving the quality and the appear
ance Of the melons grown for market.
1t is always possible for the consumer
to turn from cantaloupes to some 9TH
er fruits, and the demand is almost
certain to vary directly with the quail
ity Of the product.
A very important factor in securing
the desired attractiveness is uniform
ity. Under the present system, grad
ing and packing are frequently done
by the same man. This, in the opinion
Of specialists in the department, is a
mistake Whenever possible the pack
er should be left free to give his atten-
tion to securing a pack Of standard
count which is both tight and attrac-

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and

ErInk a glass Of real hot water

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest we'll, work

glorious condition to attain. and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with tablespoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans

tion of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
Of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble. rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-

to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but

THREE CLASSES OF HIGHWAYS
Classification is Prime Step in Fed
eraI Aid to Good Roads, Says
Congressman Borland.

With various bills before congress
for federal aid to road building the
classification of highways so that
important through routes may be out
lined clearly from the country's maze
of thoroughfares of one kind or an
other, becomes a question of more
and more interest. Congressman w.
P. Borland Of Missouri, a good-roads
advocate, has expressed himself on
this subject as follows:
1T will be necessary, in my judg-
ment, to classify all existing high
ways into at least three classitcations.
The first class is that Of the great
cross-state or interstate highways.
The second consists of the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third, the by-roads. local roads
or lanes. These various classes of
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with view to the
amount of traffic that they can bear
and must bear. The first class should
be of the most permanent and scien-
tif1c construction. The second class
could be of a less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
The third class could be improved
only to the extent that the community
The expense of building
and maintaining these roads should
be distributed upon the same basis.
THE roads of the first class should
be supported by the taxing power OF
a large area of country. The second
class of roads should also have a
wide taxing power at least co-exten-
sive with the county and possibly
with a group of counties or with
some state aid. This would leave

ply large restaurants, hotels, railway
dining cars and similar institutions. In
consequence, the market discriminates
against crates in which large and
small cantaloupes are packed together.
Central packing houses in which the
grading and packing Of the fruit could
be conducted according to a permanent
and fixed standard would greatly faciIi-
tate the adoption Of the desired re-
forms. In sections where melons are
now marketed through growers Co
operative marketing organizations 1t
should not be difficult to extend the as
sociation's activities to the manage
ment of such houses. Under these cir
cumstances it would probably be desir-
able to have competent field men in
spect the members fields in order to
advise them in regard to the proper
time for harvesting the crop. and in
order to prevent fruit from diseased or
undesirable patches being mixed in
shipments to the central packing
houses. In these houses the grader
should do much Of the work that is
now commonly done by the packer
throwing out all fruit defective in any
way. AS has already been said, this
system would leave the packer free to
devote his attention to securing a good
pack. If cantaloupe growers knew how
loose, uneven pack hampers ready
sales. they would never allow crate
to leave their packing houses in poor
condition.

CORN NARROWING AT
THE CORRECT TIME.
Effective Way Of Eradicating
Weeds lust terminating
Avoid Covering Plants.

(By L. E. CALL. Kansas Experiment
Station.)
A cornfeld can be covered more
rapidly with a harrow than with any
other type of cultivating implement,
and il the narrowing is done at the
right time it is an effective way Of
killing weeds. Weeds that are just
terminating or that have not obtained
good root hold can be easily killed
with the harrow. The harrow can
also be used to advantage in breaking
up crust caused by a heavy, dashing
rain.
Surface-planted corn may be safely
narrowed before it is up, but it is not
best to harrow after the shoots are out
Of the ground until the plants are two
or three inches high, when a light
harrow or weeder can again be usedf
1t is a good practice in handling sur
face-planted corn to harrow the field
at least twice, once five or six days
after the corn is planted or just be-
fore the corn comes up, and again a
week or'ten days later, after the corn
is big enough not to be easily broken
off or covered.
Corn planted with a disk furrow
opener can be narrowed safely at any
stage Of it's early growth, as the shall
low burrows usually furnish sufficient
protection to the small plants to pre-
vent their being broken OF. If the
seeded is well prepared, there is lit
tie danger Of the corn being COW
cred.
Listed corn is sometimes narrowed.
AS rule, however, little is gained by
narrowing listed corn, for the lister
cultiYator can ordinarily be used as
soon as the corn needs attention.
