TAKE CARE OF MILK
AT MILKING TIME

Sediment in milk indicates care
lessness in its production or hand
ling.
Sediment communicates milk and
makes it less salable.
Most of the sediment in milk comes
from the bodies of cows, and consists
Of hairs, manure, bedding. etc.
Straining removes only the coarse
particles of dirt and removes Meth
er the bacteria nor the fine dirt.
Straining improves the commercial
quality of milk, but does not appre.
ciably improve its healthfulness.
The best system is to prevent, "a
far as possible, the entrance of dir!
into milk. This can be done best bv
having clean cows in clean stables
MIXED with clean hands, into clean
small-top pals.
Filter cloth and absorbent cottor
are efficient materials for strainers.
Cheese cloth and wire gauze ar,
less effective.
Straining cloths should be changed
whenever they become soiled. The!
should be thoroughly washed an,
sterilized after each using
Efficient sterilization is accomplish
ed by boiling or exposure to steaE
| for at least five minutes.
Write to the Extension Division
| Louisiana State University, for dc
tailed information on the production
| and care of milk.

Benefit Ice Cream Festival.

An old friend residing in BosSier
City has written to ask that announce
nent I've made in the Banner of an ice
cream supper to he given at the Meth
odist Church in that place Oh the even
ing of Friday. September 9TH = from
7.3O to ten O'Clock. Plenty of ice
cream and good homemade cake ut IL
and II cents IL saucer" she says in the
note. and We'll bet that will prove lit
orally true. Those within reach who
have taste for sweets should he pres
cnt to join in the pleasures Of the ev
ening.
Our friend does not say that this is
to be benefit aff..ir but. of course. it
is. and our guess is that it is to be for
the purpose of raising funds for the
church where given. When a number
of the good winlmin' folks band togetll-
er in such an enterprise the fund rails
ed always goes to some good cause. 1t

OF CANNING TOMATOES
Economical Method Recommended
BY Louisiana State University
Specialists.

An economical method of canning
tomatoes is recommended BY the can
ming specialists of the Extension Divi-
sion, Louisiana State University, As
follows:
Pack firm, whole fruits in jar and
fill in the spaces with concentrated
tomato sauce. Each quart jar will
then provide whole tomatoes for sal
ads or baking and a tomato PURGE for
soups or sauces. The recipe is given
here.
Select firm, uniformly red, ripe to-
matoes of medium size. Put into trays
and lower into boiling water for one
minute. Remove, plunge into cold
water, drain, and cut out the core with
slender-pointed knife without cut.
ting into the seed cells. Peel prompt
! ly and pack into jars. To each pint
add one level teaspoouful of a mixture
of one-third salt and two-thirds sugar.
| Fill the jars with a thick tomato sauce
made by cooking the small or broken
| tomatoes until tender. Remove the
seeds and skins by straining the pulp
and concentrate it by boiling 70
about the consistency of ketchup. Ad
just the rubber cap, place the packed
| jars on false bottom in vessel OF
water which reaches almost to their
tops and keep at boiling temperature
for Is minutes. Remove the jars from
the water bath and tighten the covers
Immediately.
