and aerated by flowing in a thin film
over a corrugated metal surface cooled
by water which circulates through on
the inside.
Not only does this cool the milk
but some of the bad flavor of fresh
milk may be eliminated by exposure
to pure air. The temperature of the
milk will depend on the coOlness of
the water used. If the milk is to be
sold it should be kept cool by allowing
the cans to stand in a tank Of cold
water.
If only cream is sold from the farm
the milk should be separated imme-
diately after milking and the cream
cooled at once. The keeping quality
of the butter made from this cream
will depend upon the way the cream
Is handled at the farm. Creamery
men are coming to realize that in or
der to produce a good quality of but
ter they must have good cream to
start with and in many places they
are paying a premium to the farmers
who deliver cream Of good quality.
Cream must be cooled Immediately
after being separated, and any other
cream that is separated later should
be cooled before being added to the
first cream. The cream, if delivered
three times a week during summer,
should reach the creamery in first
class condition and should make but
ter Of good quality.
The cheapest and most simple ar
rangement for keeping cream and milk
cool on the farm is made by allowing
water that flows to stock tanks to
pass through a sheltered tank in which
the milk and cream cans are placed.

He sowed the combination over his

result was that wheat ShOckers ate

women to appear slender and graceful,
but sad to say they have seldom sue

ambition nowadays will receive some
aid In her efforts from the new svelt-

This new feature of late has been
applied to dainty lingerie for the large
woman. The sveltline system Of de-
signing clothes to produce slender
appearance has been extended even to

the close of each half day he should
properly string up the corn, or ar
range it for cutting.
This method is irksome if large Sc
lectiOns are to be made. A Sledlike
frame either on runners or low wheels
narrow enough to go between two
rows of corn and long enough to carry
five or six bushel-siZe baskets or boxes,
is q very convenient device for use in
carrying the seed ears selected in the
field. AS this is drawn through the
field by a horse, one or two persons
may select from as many as the four
nearest rows or three persons may
easily select from six rows. At the
ends of the field the full baskets or
boxes may be replaced by empty ones,
or they may be dumped, to be gath
cred up by wagon at the close of
each half day or day. This device may
break down occasional stalks of corn,
varying with the amount Of bent or
twisted stalks, but the damage is more
than paid for by the time saved. Such
carrier makes possible a more rapid
selection of the ears, and relieves the
operators of carrying heavy bags of
corn when all energy is needed in
judging the ears and the stalks for
the selection.

Star of "Her Good Name" Shines in
New Role

Jean Sothern, the pretty little lady
pany's Art Drama "Her Good Name,
ter on Wednesday and Thursday OF
next week appeared in a new role at
the Van Dyke studios recently. The
story of the picture is particularly
well adapted to the talents of Miss
Sothern, and part Of the atmosphere
in it consisted Of a kitten and pup
|py. Director Terwilliger commission
ed his assistant to get the animals,
specifying that they be of no par
ticular breeding, on the theory, per-
haps, that mongrels would be less like
ly to fight.
Unfortunately, the theory did not
prove to be grounded on fact. The
pup and the kitten were placed in a
basket together, and Immediately "the
fur began to fly" The assistant at.
tempted to pacify them and received a
scratched nose for his pains. Ter
williger then attempted to take the
dog out Of the basket himself, but he
did not receive much encouragement
from either of the animals.
At this juncture, Miss Sothern APP
reared on the scene. With a cry of
"Oh! how darling!" she ran forward,
and gathered the two struggling ami
mails in her arms. In few seconds
the kitten was purring away in the
crook of one arm, while from the
other, the puppy was making frantic
efforts to reach Miss Sothern's face
with his tongue. ...
George Terwilliger looked on, mus
ingly. "Now, | understand" he said
reflectively, "what they mean by ami
NAL magnetism"
