Patriotism in the Milk Room.

War time will mean food short
age. Besides making every effort
to increase food production, we
must eliminate all the little wastes
and losses. The small losses on the
millions of farms of the country
amount to stupendous totals. The
average American farm wastes
enough to provide sustenance for a
family, and the dairy farmer is no
exception to the rule. Here are
some of the common sources of loss
on the dairy farm, all preventable

sterilized vessels, and by inefficient

being put into unsterilized cans,
alone is tremendous loss. Just
a few cans of sour milk means less
milk for many families, and will
cause enough loss to the producer
to pay for small steam sterilizer.
The government Dairy Division
has designed simple steam steril-
izer for small diaries, one that can
be built by local timer, costing
only a few dollars. This sterilizer
is described and pictured in Farm

Eliminates Coal Smoke.

A Cincinnati man has found that q
mixture of water and clay on coal will
prevent smoke. When clayey water is
thrown on small pieces of coal it forms
thin layer of clay around each piece.
This helps keep in the coal gases until
the clay is thoroughly heated. When
the coal gases come out they are read
lily consumed-thus burning up the
smoke. The briquettes thus burn more
slowly and more uniformly than plain
coal.
