heal her daughter. Note that she
heard of Jesus; that Is the great thing
we are here for, to make him known,
TO cause people to hear of him. Unless
people are learning Of him through US
our lives are not bearing the fruit de-
sired. and we are In some measure fall
ures, and may be ashamed before him
at his coming Il John 2:28). This
woman having heard of his wondrous
works believed that he could surely
heal her daughter, and with humble
persistent faith, came to him, address
ing him first as Son of David, but to
this appeal he made no reply, perhaps
because as Son of David he could do
nothing for her. Then his disciples,
for their own comfort, asked him to
send her away. for they said: "She
crieth after u.s."
Her next word was, lord help me-"
to which he replied that it was not
meet to take the children's bread and
cast 1t to dogs. Even this did not dis
courage her, and she said: "Truth,
Lord; yet the dogs eat the crumbs
which fall from their masters table,"
Now she prevails and is rewarded by
his word: 80 woman, great is thy
wilt" From that hour her daughter
was well, and so she found her when
she went home, and lying upon the
bed. Another instance of the faith of
one prevailing for another; but oh,
such faith, the kind that takes the
lowest place, but will take no denial.
Giving him his right place, and taking
our place as sinners, but, like Jacob,
clinging in our weakness with, II will
not let thee go except thou bless me"
(Gen. 30 :26).
The remainder of our lesson chapter
(vss. 31-37) tells of one who was deaf
and could not speak plainly. This man
he took aside from the multitude, put
his fingers into his ears, spit and
touched his tongue, looked up to
heaven and said, "Be opened" and in
stantly the man could hear, and he
spoke plainly. This healing was after
he returned from Tyre and Sidon to
the Sea of Galilee. Why he took such
different ways of healing people / can
not tell unless 1t was to deliver us
from expecting to be used or blessed
like some one else. We must hear him
say, as we are tempted to consider his
dealings with others, "What is that TO
thee, follow thou me-" Taking him
aside from the multitude reminds us
of the blind man whom he took by
The hand and led out of the town; and
of the noisy crowd whom he put out of
The house of Jairus. In his own way
as seemeth best to him he doeth all
things well, and his way is always
perfect.

smALl-ToP MILK PALS
d KEEP OUT HARMFUL GERMS

In modern dairics where clean milk Is
produced the smaIl-top milk pail Is peces-
sity. as II presents only small opening
into which dust and dirt may fall from the
air or from the cows body. II has been
found by experience that the use OF pail
Of this kind greatly reduces the number Of
bacteria IN milk from dairles where II Is
used. Many types of milk pals are for
sale. but any timer by the addition Of a
hood can convert an ordinary pail into
smaii-top pail.

which is very easily contaminated.
Soap, clean water, and towels must
be readily accessible and the hands
should be washed after milking each
COW; this is commonly done on many
frst-class dairy farms. The use of a
clean milking stool will do much to
prevent soiling the hands.

bacteria which may contaminate the
milk.
After grooming and before milking,
the udders, fanks and bellies of the
cows should be- carefully wiped with
damp cloth to remove any dust or
loose hairs which might fall into the
pail. In some dairies where milk con-
tanning an exceptionally small num-
Der of bacteria is produced, the cows
udders are washed twice in clean wa
ter and then wiped with clean cloth.
Only those persons who are free from
communicable disease should be al
lowed to handle or even enter the
stable or dairy house.
Clean Clothes for Mixer
After the cows are prepared for
milking, each mixer should thor
oughly wash his hands and put on
clean overalls and jumper or wear
a suit, preferably white, which is us
ed for no other purpose. The suit
must be kept clean and occasionally
sterilized with steam or hot water.
Sanitary small-top milk pals should
be used.
Mixers should be allowed to milk
only with dry hands. The practice Of
wetting the hands with milk is fill
thy one and in the winter is likely to
cause the teats to chap. Milking
should be done quickly and thorough
ly with no violent jerking of the teats.
After each cows milk is drawn it
should be removed Immediately to the
milk house.
The mixer should remember al
ways that he is handling humane food

Every cow stable should have a
system of ventilation to keep the air
fresh and pure and the cows COM
Portable without exposing them to in
furious drafts. Bad odors in the
stable indicate that the ventilation is
deficient. At least 500 cubic feet of
air space should be provided for each
COW. Farmers who desire to provide
proper ventilation in COW stables can
obtain information on this point by
applying to the Dairy Division Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ttlre.

Especial Information Sci

Suppose, Mr.. Dairyman, your Gus
toners should step into your dairy
barn unannounced at milking time
would you be likely to lose some Of
them as a result of things they saw?
Would they see clearly dressed milk
ers in a clean barn, milking from
clean cows into clean pals? Or would
they see another picture which need
not be drawn but which is all too
common, even in these days of i'm
proved dairy Methods picture
whose reflection is the layer of sedi-
ment which the consumer will see if
he holds up bottle Of milk from such

Keen Out the Germs

Ordinary common-sense rules of
cleanliness at milking time will do
much to prevent contamination of
milk by the easiest ways. Unless
considerable care is taken, large num-
bers of bacteria may find their way
into the milk during the process of
milking. Cows should be MIXED in
clean, well-lighted stables. By taking
great pains it may be possible to pro-
duce good milk in dark or dirty
stable, but it is extremely improbable
that the average dairyman will OBJ
tain a desirable product under such
conditions.
Grooming and feeding the cows, as
well as. cleaning the stable and remov-
ing the manure, should not be done
just before milking, as these opera.
