KEEP MILK IN HOT WEATHER
cry 1t 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
if it 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. SOurine
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 nc
dirt or dust gets into the milk in the
stable or anywhere else.

The average cow under normal con-

gallons Of water daily. Whether In
the pasture or in the barn, cows should
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 I'M
wholesome for them to drink from
stagnant ponds or streams, but clean,
running streams are not objection.

Levi Duryea was the most important

was "a quiet community and the district
was aparsely settled. His duties were
by no means onerous. He felt himself
equal to any occasion, however. He

Leipzig VolIxszeitung Discovers Will helm Is Not Chosen Instrument of God But Merely & CIayey Mortal.

Berne, Oct. 15.-'Tn the minds of the German people responsibility for the present situation centres more and more clearly each day on the person of the Emperor declares the Leipzig Volkszeitung.
 We see William II. the last Ger man military monarch. He must feel thath can njo longer be what he has thought himself since tha first day of his reign an instrument sent by God and above all the chief of the most brilliant and best organ ized army.
 Tn 1888 the Emperor said he would sacrifice eighteen army corps and 42,o0o,000 inha bitants rather than give a single stone conquered by his father. Two million dead are more than eighteen army corps
 ''The Emperor always has asked great patriotic sacrifices from his subjects. It is now for him to show his spirit of sacrifice and to with draw. He would thus give a brilliant example of his understanding of the times and would permit the German people to obtain better peace terms"
 The Wolff News Agency of Berlin today issued an official denial of the report current in Germany that Elm peror William intended to abdicate.
 Gen. Ludendorff flew into a rage and offered his resignation last week, according to a report from Munich, when he found that the first German note resulted in bringing out the fact that the Entente would demand evac- uation of occupied territory before the question of an armstice before even bee onsidered. The report does not state whether his resignation was acentnd

Washington, Oct 15.-Wide and persistent efforts having their origin in Berlin have been made to get the churches Of both neutral and beliiger- ent countries to call a conference, which. under another name, virtually would be a peace conference While the movement received much support in Sweden, Holland and Switzerland, it has not met with favor with the Entente countries and America.
