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

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

CLEAN AND STORE PLANTERS
Implements Should Be Put Away Care
fully for Another Year-keep
In Coed Condition.

As soon as the farmer has finished
using the planters for this year, they
should be cleaned and put away care.
fully, so that they will be in good con.
dltion for another year. Often by
carelessly allowing planters to lay
around uncared for, one has to buy a
new one the following season, or at
least hunt for lost parts. Every plate
and other part of the planters should
be stored carefully away, and the
planter left ready for use another
year. Prices of machinery are ad-
vancing as we'll as prices of foodstuffs,
and there Is no reason why the farmer
should not take unusually good care
of all implements on the farm.

SPRAYING IS OF IMPORTANCE
Those Who Neglected Practice Last
Summer Lost Heavily Work
Must Not Be Neglected.

The exceptional wet spring OF 1915
made spraying very difficult and In
some cases impossible. AS conse-
quence much wormy and scabby fruit
was harvested. New England peach
growers who have not adopted the
practice of summer spraying lost
heavily from the attacks Of brown
rot.
Spraying must not be neglected
even in a season Of high-priced anu
scarcity of labor. The Brooks spot OF
apples can be controlled by spraying
thoroughly with fungicide. 1t Is
generally conceded that the dormant
lime-sulphur spray must be given
peaches.
In season like last year the sum-
mer spray must be given peaches TO
control the brown rot. Spray the early
peaches twice, the Elbertas and late
peaches three times.
The russeting Of apples Is difficult
to prevent. Weather conditions, va
rieties, and the spray used are re-
sponslble. If bordeaux is used for the
pink spray it Is apt to cause russell
ing because of weather conditions
which prevail at this time. Lime-sul-
phur Is safer to use mt this period.

BALANCE THE "PAcKiNG."

the packing Is the admonition which
Poultryman Roy H. Waite, OF the Agri.
cultural Experiment Station, 10 send
ing out to poultry raisers over tho
State, dealing with the proper mixing
OF concentrated foods and roughages
for poultry Of all classes. A part OF
this appears herewith:
Hens have to have certain amount
OF packing in their digestive organs
II they are to feel comfortable. Under
natural conditions birds (hens are
birds) pick up all sorts Of coarse ma
terial Their digestive system is ar
ranged to handle this kind Of stun.
Hons eat grass, weed leaves, big coarse
bugs. Juicy fruit. They will even eat
corn leaves, clover and sand, and when
hard pressed for roughage or hller Will
even eat leaves from trees. paper or
almost anything that will give them
the comfortable feeling Of fullness.
There are two extremes to which
you can 30 In feeding poultry You
can let the hens live entirely on this
roughage or you can keep them on a
diet of nothing but concentrated feeds.
From the standpoint Of the poultryman
one extreme Is a. bad as the other.
Both reach tho same end. Only they
travel in q different direction. They
meet around the turn. Neither method
will produce a profit. One because tho
rough material will not furnish enough
excess nourishment to make eggs, tho
other because 30 much expensive feed
has been used in producing eggs that
the cost Of producing is about equal to
the selling price. From the standpoint
OF the public welfare. however, over
feeding Of concentrated feeds Is much
the worst offense at the present time
because there Is q shortage of this
kind OF material. In your feeding OF
poultry try to strike q happy medium.
Don't mako your hens fll up on con-
centrated feeds. Give them chance
to eat all the green material they
want. There is no use In poisoning
their systems with an excessive
amount of nourishment. 1t isn't good
for tho hens, isn't good for your coun-
try and 1t isn't good for your pocket

SUCCESS IN DAIRY BUSINESS
One Of Best Breeds Should Be Selected
and Followed, That Herd May Be-
come Uniform.

For best success In the dairy busi-
ness one OF the dairy breeds should
be selected and followed, that the
herd may become uniform, care being
taken to get good cows with which
to start. There Is more difference In
the cows Of any breed than there Is
in the different breeds, says one
writer.
A profit can only be expected from
good cows, so better start with five
good cows than 20 poor ones. With
five you will find satisfaction. less
work and more profit. II you expect
to raise the heifer calves for future
use be sure they are not only sired
by registered bull, but that his ped
igree for great production Of milk and
butter runs back for five or more
generations on both sides.
We cannot all see our way clear to
begin with registered cows of high
merit. Good grades can usually be
bought costing but little more than
scrubs and by careful breeding herd
will soon be raised which will be both
a pleasure and Il profit.

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

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. 1t Is un-
wholesome for them to drink from

New York, July 10.-You women
who are afraid of getting fat send
your sweets to the wounded! They
need them. You don't. They can't
get along without them. You must
otherwise you'll gain weight and
they'll die.
This isn't a joke. Every day
French soldiers die because they
haven't resistance enough to fight
death. Sugar creates resistance; it
makes heat and energy. These are
what the wounded soldier must have.
In this country there is plenty of
sugar, but France is short of it.
Daily the wounded beg for jams, for
chocolate, for jellies, for plain sugar.
And they need these sweets as much
as they need meats and nourishing
soups.
1t is a fact that wounds will not
heal unless there is a certain amount
Of sugar in the system. Within the
last two years physicians have dis
covered French wounds are slow in
healing because the soldiers have no
sugar in their systems.
Come on then you women who are
afraid to eat sweets! Send your
jams and cocoa to the soldiers. You
housewives who can put up those
temptingly delicious jellies, send
few Jars to the hospitals in France.
You young married girls who have
not yet learned the gentle art of pre-
serving provide the sugar and fruit
for some one else to make the jam
for you and send 1t in your name.
You men who can't put up jelly send
the money to buy marmalade for the
soldiers. ..., ...t
All the sweets you send go to the
wounded in Europe. Already a crate
of tin topped jellies, boxes of cocoa,
jars of marmalade, Strawberries,
raspberry and luscious jams have
been sent to the hospital in France,
of which an American woman. Miss
Gertrude Atherton is the head. At
the Bien Etre du BIesse these sweets
will be distributed to those who are
hoping that some one will send them
something with sugar in it.
This jam project is being backed
by the Twelfth Night club, at Al
West 44th street, this city.
Mrs. Louise Closer Hale, Amer
lean actress and author, first con-
ceived the jam idea. People have to
do a whole lot of charity these days,
so much so that they may not take
this jam idea seriously" said Mrs.
Hale. However had they been in
France last summer when was there,
and seen the wistful look in the SOL
dier's eyes when he asked for some
chocolate or jam and was told there
was none, they would appreciate tho
seriousness of this seemingly trivial
project. Not only do sweets make
wounds heal more quickly but they
put the soldier in a more cheerful
frame of mind. If he can get what
he wants to eat when he is lying
helpless on his hospital bed he Is
happier and Of course, happy mind
makes for a healthy body"
