KEEP MILK IN HOT WEATHER
Whether Intended for Table or Cream
cry II 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
IL 1t Is to bring the best price. To
keep the milk sweet just two simple
things must be very carefully looked
after:
1. 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. Souring
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.

Philosophy Of Slang.

A man in middle life recalls the
slang of his boyhood with some such
indulgent wonder as that with which
an elderly woman looks at the fashion
plates of her early youth-"snide."
"cheese It," "sheeny." chestnut"
"spoony," or even those of more re-
cent coinage. "snap." "skiddoo," "twen-
ty-three," thirty cents" They were ar
tificially changed with meaning. and
their effervescence is irretrievably
gone, writes Robert p. Utter in Harp
er's. "Lemon" and "1obster" are near
ly as fiat. With disappearance of a
certain kind of early Victorian prud-
cry has gone the vogue Of such terms
as "inexpressibles" for trousers. Du
Maurier's once famous novel has al
most reached the vanishing point in
the perspective Of time, and we no
longer speak Of feet as "Trilbys." 1t
Is not safe, however, to prophesy that
because a word come from a proper
name 1t will fade as fades the fame or
notoriety Of the person. We have for
gotten what "Edgarism" Is, but we
still understand "Bowdlerize." "Fletch-
erize" may yet make Fletcher immOr-
tai, even as derrick" preserves In the
dictionaries the name of q once ia.

ATTENTION TO SICK ANIMALS
Veterinarians Would Say Former
10 Most Important.

(By c. H M'ELROY. Oklahoma Expert
ment station)
Animals that are sick should have
the benefit Of good nursing.
Veterinarians, If required to choose
between good nursing and medicine.
would often consider the former the
more important To be a good attend
ant to sick animals one should be at
tentive, supply their needs and I'M
derstand them thoroughly, always
studying their well-being and comfort
In any disease In any diseased AMI
NAL, first look for the cause, and, II
possible, remove It, Study the sick
animal, his surroundings the work II
has done, feed. water. exercise and e1-
pOsure. Sick animals should be placed
In comfortable quarters, which should
include a box stall. This should be
dry, free from draft, warm and well
ventilated
Box stalls are Indispensable on a
farm, and yet are uncommon. The
stall should be kept free from vapors
and should be clean. easily disinfected,
and have an abundance of fresh air.
1t often happens that animals are
found i'll in conditions that cause dis
ease. Surroundings are often inturi-
Gus, such as those subjecting the ami
NAL to extreme heat or cold and incle
ment weather.

PAST MASTER OF TRACKERs
Than Bloodhound When Trailing
Criminal Through Desert

The art Of the professional tracker is
a fascinating thing to watch. The old.
time western plainSman could trail
deer for two days through the forest
the modern White mountain Apache OF
Arizona will follow moccasined man
over broken jagged lava country: there
are said to be tribeS.in the interior Of
Brazil who can track for short dis
tanceS by scent But the king and past
master of all crackers, the man who
can make an Apache look lisp m ap-
prentice BOY Scout, is the b;.,'k fellow
Of Australia. He will perforlil featS OF
tracking that are almost beyond belief
The native Australian peoples are
ranked very low in the scale if human
ity. and It may be because they are the
most primitive Of all races chat they
retain an almost animal delicacy OF
perception. They add to it, however a
very fine reasoning power in the things
Of the bush. and by combining the two
qualities they can tell not only where
the man or the animal they track is
going, but even what he is doing on
the way.
The most spectacular exploits Of the
crackers have been accomplished in
the pursuit of criminals. on whose trail
they are more deadly than blood
hounds. The Australian mounted pO-
liceman takes a black tracker along
when he follows a criminal into desert
or bush. and that settles it. The track
er will stay on the trail until the end
of it is reached. 1t may take day or
week or q month-in one instance II
took ten weeks-but the black fellow
never loses the trail for long. He will
trail across rocks. across wind-blown
sand, through a tangle of other foot
prints, he will pick up the track again
If the quarry takes to the water. and
he will report accurately the condition
of the man pursued, whether he is
strong or weakening.
So expert do these natives become in
tracking that they can recognize q
friend or an enemy as readily by his
footprints rs by his face. Personal
Identification of a footprint by an ex-
pert black tracker is accepted as good
evidence in court Of law. Such a
tracker can even recognize the hOof-
mark of almost every horse that /:
known to him.

ERADICATION OF TICK
Parasites Cause Heavy Losses to
Farmers Of the South.
6ioodsucking Pests Decrease Meat and
Milk Production-lncreas Sup
ply of Food Is One Of Coun-
try's Urgent Needs.

(From the United States Department OF
AgriCuture)
Tick eradication should be given an
important place among the measures
to be taken by southern communities
to meet existing conditions. An in
creased supply Of meat Is one Of the
countrys most urgent needs; and the
South can do its share toward furnish
ing this increased meat supply until
the tick has been put out of the way.
The United States department OF ag-
riculture says it IS proved every day
In the South that beef cattle that are
being robbed of blood by ticks will not
grow or fatten properly, and that milk
cows subject to the same drain give
only scanty supplies of milk. They
cannot efficiently turn into food for sol
diers and civilians the hundreds OF
pounds of grass, hay and grain which
they consume. They are MASTERS.
made so by the ticks that feed on
them.
These are animals that live in spite
Of the cattle-fever germs which ticks
inject with their bites, and there Is the
added loss to be charged against ticks
Of the cattle which die from fever; and
their number reaches into the thou
sands.
Now that each pound Of meat and
each glass Of milk takes on an added
value among the nations resources.
more cattle must be raised and each
animal must be made to put on as
great a weight of meat or yield as
much milk as Is economically practi-
cable. If this Is to be accomplished
In the South. the hrst step must be
drive against ticks. The methods for
getting rid of these expensive pests are
well known and are already being
made efficient use Of In many South
ern communities. Dipping watts filled
with solutions that will destroy the
ticks on cattle. and public interest
which will insist that all cattle be
dipped are the essentials. and when
these have been acquired In commu-
nifty a new day for cattle production
Is sure to dawn. Cattle that have been
freed from ticks and kept free. as they
may be ut small cost. put on weight
rapidly and make cattle raising among
the abundant feed supplies of the
South a truly profitable enterprise.
