PRODUCE HIGH
GRADE CREAM
Tennessee Farmers Who Keep
Dairy Cows Can Thus
Increase Profits
CLEAN MILK CLEAN CREAM
Many Farmers Are Selling Cream and
Getting Regular Pay Checks in Re-
turn-Permanent Success Depends
Upon Production of Clean Cream.

Good, clean cream should be pro
duced on every Tennessee farm where
dairy cows are kept, according to c. A.
Hutton, Dairy Specialist of the Di-
vision OF Extension, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville.
Just short while back" says Mr..
Hutton, the Dairy Division of the U.
8. Department OF Agriculture, seeing
the Importance OF good cream to the
South, gave its = recommendations,
based on years OF experience. The
points made by the government work
ers should be we'll taken in Tennessee:
"Clean milk is absolutely indispensa-
BILE to the production of clean cream.
To produce clean milk the barn, barn
yard, mixers, and milk utensils must
be clean, and the cows must be clean
and healthy.
THE cream separator and the milk
utensils should be thoroly washed
and scalded as soon as possible after
they are used. as particles of milk or
cream left in the separator or on uten-
sils act as starter and cause the
cream to sour more quickly.
Cream should be separated so as
to contain from 80 to 35 per cent of
butterfat, as rich cream does not sour
80 quickly as thin cream. Rich cream
leaves more skimmilk on the farm for
feeding purposes, reduces transporta-
ton expenses, makes less bulk to han.
die on the farm and in the creamery,
and usually, reaches the creamery In
better condition.
Cream sours very quickly at tenn
peratures above co. F.; therefore, it
should be kept at as low temperature
as possible Cream should be cooled
Immediately after it has been separat-
ed, and should be kept cold until de.
liyered to the creamery. Cold water
is an effective agent for this purpose.
Fresh cream should not be mixed with
cream from previous skimmings until
it has been thoroly cooled, as the
addition of warm cream raises the tenn
perature OF the older cream and
hastens souring.
"Cream should be kept in a clean,
well-ventilated place in order that OBJ
jectionable odors may not be absorb
ed from the atmosphere. --.
"In order to keep the cream smooth
and uniform and prevent the fofma.
ton of Jumps, 1t should be thoroly
stirred each time a new lot of cream
is added to the older cream.
"In the summer, when cream is en-
route, the cans should be entirely COW
cred with wet sacks or blankets to pro-
tect the cream from the heat
"To insure the delivery OF cream OF
good quality, it should be delivered
at least twice a week in winter and
three times week i'll summer"

HAVE YOU. Mr.. FARMER,
EVER ASKED YOURSELF
THESE QUESTIONS

Every farmer will do well to com.
pare his farm with more successful
farms, to wee where hia is weak and
whether it can be improved, says C. e.
Alfred, Division of Extension, Univer,
sity OF Tennessee, Knoxville. Let him
ask himself these questions:
"a Have 80 to 200 acres of crops?
II not, can buy or rent more land?
90 Are my crop yields 10 to 20%
better than my neighbors' who have
the same soil? If not, will 1t not pay
me to increase them?
90 Are my cows at least 500 bet
ter than my neighbors? II not, how
much am | losing on them per year?
Had | better stop keeping cows or get
better ones?
(4) Am ! getting at least 26%S of my
receipts from the sale of cash crops?
If not, could | make more money by
raising cash crops?
60 Am | getting at least goo Of
my money from animal products?

SNOW FALLS HEAVILY ALONG THE BRITISH
 FRONT IN FRANCE
Only Isolated Raids Have Occu- pied the Infantry, While Gun ners on Both Sides Continue Their Activities.

Except on the Italian northern front near the Brenta river, military operations are at a minimum. The Italians, in desperate struggle, have been able to retake an advantageous position on Col Caprille, while check ing Austro-G German attacks in the re- zion of San Marine. The activity of the aerial and artillery arms on this front continues to be intense.
 Snow ahs fallen heavily on the Brit ish front in France and only isolated raids have occupied the infantry. The gunners on both sides are active. Ex- cept for artillery work, there has been no activity on the French front from St. Quentin to Alsace. In upper AL sace the French have repulsed a German attack near Aspach Le Bas.
 The German cruisers which at tackled the British convoy in the North Sea last Wednesday returned without loss and captured large number of prisoners, according to Berlin. Four teen vessels, including seven neutral steamers, were sunk by the Germans in the North Sea and off the mouth of the Tyne.

ROADS TO
 AND FROM AVIATION CAMP

Little Rock, Dec. 18.-State High way Engineer Hugh R. Carter yester- day inspected roads to and from the aviation camp near Lonoke. Plans are being made for the improvement of these roads. Camp Eberts is locat- ed two and half miles west of Lon oke on the Little Rock road. Be- tween two and three hundred men are already employed on the grounds, clearing and erecting the administra- tion building.

The number of men will be increased as rapidly as they can be used, and the material for the construction of the camp is arriving rapidly. More than two mil lion dollars will be spent on the camp, which will be second only in import ance in the state, to Camp Pike.

German Foreign Secretary and Austrian Foreign Minister En Route to Brest-LitOvsk to Be gin Final Parleys.

New York Dec. 18.-Germany and Austria Hungary apparently will lose no time in bringing about a separate peace with the Bolsheviki government of Russia, now that the armistice be- tween the countries has become effec- tive. Dr. von Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary, and Count Czernin, the Austrian foreign minister, will arrive at Brest-Litovsk Tuesday night to begin negotiations looking toward peace.
 A semi-official statement issued in Vienna declares that the central pow CTS will follow up the armistice, "as speedily as possible" with peace par leys and it is added that Bulgaria and Turkey also will join in the negotia- tions.
 According to Petrograd advices, Leon Trotsky, the Bolsheviki foreign minister, has notified the allied embas- sies that peace negotiations are to be- gin and has asked them to participate or state whether they wish peace. An informal conference of the allied diplo mats is said to have reached no defi- mite decision on the subject.
 There has been virtually no change in the internal situation in Russia. The Bolsheviki government in a mo- tice to foreign embassies in Petro- grad says it considers the question of recognition purely formal and cares little about it. The notice declares that the foreign embassies must wise the passports of Bolsheviki couriers or similar courtesjes will be refused.

LICENSING OF COTTON GINS
 IS FEDERAL PROVISION

Little Rock, Dec 19.-Commissioner John H. Page calls attention to the fact that the licensing of cotton gins and seed buyers and the restriction of their profits to S2 a ton for handling seed, and the regulation of oil mills, is a federal provision, over which he has no jurisdiction whatever.
 'I was present at the hearing in Washington when the cotton seed ins dustry was taken over by the food ad As the representative of the producers, made an effort to prevent such action, and even sought a modification of the regulations, be- lieving it would result in lowering the price of cotton seed to the producer This has happened just as I predict ed. as seed is selling at $20 ton less than it did"

1ondon. Dec. 18.-Germany's way :, inc west is clear, inasmuch as a noace by negotiation with Great Brit ain is out of the question at present, Chancellor von Hertling asserted in on interview given to the director of tbo Wolff Bureau, the semi official German news agency, as quoted in d;spatches reaching London today. The interview was given in response to a request for a reply to the recent sneech of Premier Lloyd George, who said he would regard peace overtures with Prussia at the moment the Prus- sian military spirit was drunk with boastfulness as a betrayal of the great trust with which he and his colleagues had been charged.
 "Lloyd George calls us criminals and bandits," said the chancellor. "Modern wars are not won by invec tive, but perhaps rather prolonged thereby, because it is clearly out of the question to negotiate with men of such temper.
