Ideal Site for Dairy.

Whenever possible the cow stable
should be on high ground with good
natural drainage. Poultry houses, hog
sheds, manure piles or surroundings
which pollute the stable air and fur
nish breeding places for flies should
not be near the cow stable. The silO'
may be connected with the stable by a
feed room, but it should be shut off by
a tight door. This is convenient and
also prevents silage odOrs in the sta
BILE except at feeding time. After the
silage has been fed, the stable can be
thoroughly aired before the next milk
ing period.
An ideal site for a barnyard is a
south slope which drains away from
the stable. If the barnyard is inclined
to be muddy, it should be improved
by drainage and by the use Of cinders
or gravel. A clean yard is a greac
help in keeping the cows from becom-
ing dirty with mud and manure.

MILK IS
MOST DESIRABLE
Various Methods of Milking
Should Stand Eye Test of
Customers.
KEEP OUT HARMFUL BACTERIA
Ordinary Common-Sense Rules OF
Cleanliness Will Do Much to Pre-
vent Contamination &C Clean
Stable Before Milking.

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 cleanly dressed milk
ers in q 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 COM
mon, even in these days Of improved
dairy methods-a picture whose re-
Election is the layer Of sediment which
the consumer will see If he holds up
bottle of milk from such a dairy and
looks at the bottom Of it?
Keep 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 a dark or dirty
stable, but it is extremely improbable
that the average dairyman will obtain
a desirable product under such con-
ditiOnS.
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
lions fill the air with odors, dust, and
bacteria which may contaminate the
milk.
After grooming and before milking,
the udders, f1anks and bellies Of the
COWS should be carefully wiped with
a 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 number
Of bacteria is produced, the cows I'D
ders are washed twice in clean water
and then wiped with a clean cloth.

only with dry hands. The practice Of
wetting the hands with milk is filthy
one and in the winter is likely to
cause the teats to chap. Milking
should be done quickly and thoroughly
with no violent jerking Of the teats.
After each cows milk is drawn 1t
should be removed Immediately to the
milk house.
The mixer should remember always
that he is handling human food
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
first-class dairy farms. The use Of a
clean milking stool will do much to
prevent soiling the hands.

All states have been requested to
contribute their quota Of volunteer
shipyard workmen to speed Americas
new merchant fleet to rapid compile
ton. The United States Shipyard Vol
unteers Of the Public Service Reserve
has been formed, embracing skilled
workers in many trades. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand workmen will
be enrolled, all Of whom will stand
ready to respond when they are called
to go to shipyards for service.
ALI appeal for volunteers has been
made by the department of labor,
the council of national defense, the
shipping board, the 10000 four-minute
men, governors Of the various states,
organized labor and business men. The
aim is to fill all the present and future
needs of the governments shipyards.
Pay Of volunteers will be in accord
ance with the prevailing wage in the
Shipyards at the time they are called.
Construction of houses for the workers
is being pushed with energy, and the
necessary homes will be ready when
the men are called.
Preliminaries Are Arranged.
All preliminary work, such as the
building of shipyards and shipways,
construction of housing facilities,
preparation and transportation Of ma.
terial, and the training of workmen, is
being rushed to completion. Thus the
organization of the shipyard volunteers
is being hastened with energy and en-
thusiaSm.
Volunteers are requested to go to the
nearest enrolment agent of the public
service reserve or state council OF de-
fense and sign up. Should there be no
enrolling agent in the vicinity, they
are asked to write to Edward N. Hur-
ley, chairman Of the United States
shipping board, Washington.
Cards are issued to all applicants,
bearing statements of the purpose OF
the shipyard volunteers, classifying
them according to trades and asking
signers to respond when called. But
tons will be given to volunteers bear
ing the inscription, "U. S. Shipyard
Volunteers.' In addition, the work.
er will receive a certificate signed
by Chairman Hurley, which reads:
"This is to certify (name Of vol
unteer) of Getty, state) has

and highly essential to the successful
termination of the war"

SMALL-TOP MILK
PALS KEEP OUT
HARMFUL GERMS.

In modern dairies where clean
milk is produced the small-top
milk pail is a necessity, as it
presents only a small opening
into which dust and dirt may
fall from the air or from the
cows body. It has been found
by experience that the use Of a
pail Of this kind greatly reduces
the number of bacteria in milk
from dairies where it is used.
Many types Of milk pals are for
sale, but any timer by the addi-
ton of a hood can convert any
ordinary pail into a small-top
pail.

Wilson Soon May Have Power to Operate Telephone and Telegraph Lines-The Presi- dent Approves.

Washington, July 1.-Legislation to authorize government control and operation of telegraph and telephone systems during the war today was approved by President Wilson and leaders at the capitol prepared for it's immediate consideration.
 Secretaries Baker and Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson were in- vited to appear tomorrow before the House interstate commerce commit tee to explain their views as to the necessity for immediate action. It was in response to letter from Rep resentative Sims of Tennessee. chair man of the committee, that the presi- dent and cabinet officers expressed their opinions.
 The statement was in a note to Chairman Sims approving letter from Postmaster General Burleson. There was no direct reference in any of the correspondence to the call sent out by the Commercial Telegraphers' Union for strike of Western Union operators July 8. MT. Burleson wrote that he deemed the legislation neces- sary "at this moment when paraly- sis of a large part of the system of electrical communication is threat ened with possible consequences pre- judical to our military preparations and other public activities, that might prove disastrous"
 No statement was made in execu- tive quarters as to whether the presi- dent plans to make immediate use of the proposed power. It was minated that he probably would await results of the strike call.
