CLEANING MILK UTENSILS.

ne DeSC results IN cleaning milk
utensils are secured when they are
first washed in cold or lukewarm water
and then with hot water. ]. R. Keith
ley, dairyman for the North Dakota
College, states that the
reason for this is that hot water hard
ems the casein and albumen and makes
them stick while they are soluble in
cold or lukewarm water. A high grade
of glue is made from casein due to its
good sticking qualities. It takes hot
water to remove the fat and boiling
water or better yet live steam to kill
the bacteria. So the order of washing
should be first with lukewarm water
then with hot water and finally rinsed
with boiling water or live steam. A
brush should be used rather than a
rag. Milk cans should be washed as
soon as emptied. If let stand the acid
formed by the milk left souring will
hasten rusting and the casein hardens
when it dries making it hard b %.
move. The sooner the utensils that
have contained milk or been in con-
tact with it are washed the easier the
job will be, the more thoroly it can be
done and the utensils if of iron or tin
will last longer.

CORN, 119 BUSHELS ON 1 ACRE.
One North Dakota acre in Sergeant
county produced 119 2/3 bushels Of
mature corn this year. Wesley Coop
er, member of the North Dakota
Boys and Girls clubs, won the state
championship on this corn. This won
for him trip to the Boys and Girls
Institute, a weeks course in Agricul-
ture and Home Economies given at the
North Dakota Agricultural College for
club winners. He planted home grown
seed May 10Th. Eight loads of manure
were put on this ground. The corn
was cultivated four times. His yield
last year was Il bushels. George Al
lison of Grand Forks county wins sec
ond place with lis bushels. The av-
erage yield of corn Of 80 club mem
bers reporting was 38 1/3 bushels.
Yields in. the western part Of the state
were reduced by dry weather and
grasshoppers. The outstanding facts
in connection with the big yields were,
tested, well bred home grown seed,
early planting and clean cultivation.
Another factor was the favorable wea-
ther for corn.

GOVERNMENT LOSS
ON THE RAILROADS.
is NEAR $50, OOO, 900.

Washington. Jan. The govern
ment's loss in operating the railroad
in 1913 as calculated by the railroad
administration officials is 10000, 900.
This represents the difference between
the aggregate amount the government
will be compelled to pay the railroad
companies for the rental of their
properties and the net income the
government will receive from the rail-
roads Six months more and the re-
ceipts from the increased freight rates
will permit the government to recoup
it's losses, officials believe.
If congress does not approve of the
Ave year extension of federal control,
and the president carries out his an
-nounced intention of returning the
roads to private management at an
early date, the governments loss will
not be made up as the deficit does
not include the hundred and fifty to
two hundred millions loaned the rail-
roads to help pay for an extensive
program of improvements and the
purchase of new cars and locomotives.
