KEEP MILK IN HOT WEATHER
Whether Intended for Table or Cream cry 1t Must Be Sweet to Secure
 Highest Prices.

It is no trick at all to keep milk sweet in cold weather, but f4 hot weather 1t must be handled ve / care fully. Whether the milk or CT am is intended for the table, the creamery, or the milk market, it must be sweet if 1t is to bring the best price. To keep the milk sweet just two simple things must be very carefully looked after:
 1. It must be cooled as completely and as quickly after milking as possi- ble; and,
 2. Absolute cleanness of pails, cans, and cows must be secured. Souring takes place because little invisible plants called bacteria get into it in dirt or by lurking in the corners and seams of poorly cleaned pails and cans. The remedy is plain. Keep the bac- teria out by using seamless pails and cans and seeing that absolutely no dirt or dust gets into the milk in the stable or anywhere else.

 The most remarkable part of the Ford business is that hardly one deal. CT ont of the 5000 in America has had a sufficient number of cars to deliver the past season, in fact the Elmer Au- tomobile Company have had empty stores four months out of the last twelve, and being unable to secure cars in sufficient quantities to supply the demand, 1t is quite evident that the American public are approaching MT.

WHOLESOME WATER FOR cow
Whether In Barn or Pasture, Animals Should Have Free Access to Fresh
 Supply Twice Daily.

The average COW under normal con- ditions will drink about nine or ten gallons of water daily. Whether in the pasture or in the barn. cows should have access to an abundance of fresh water twice daily. Unless there are good flowing springs, the best water comes from wells and may be pumped by windmills or gas engines. It is un- wholesome for them to drink from stagnant ponds or streams, but clean, running streams are not objection able.
Putnam patriot., 1917-08-03
REMOVE ALL DISEASED COWS
Animals Not w Healthy Condition Should Be Taken From Herd
 and Milk Kept Separate.

Cows not in healthy condition should be removed from the herd and their milk kept separate until the animals are restored to normal health. Milk from diseased cows should not be used for human food. Serious udder trou- ble. causing garget or bloody milk, must be cured before the milk is uSable.
