MILK STEAMERS COMPARED
Absorbent Cotton and Filter Cloth
More Effective Than Wire Gauze
or cheesecloth.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Clean milk depends primarily on
sanitary methods of production, but
milk strainers as commonly used also
have direct bearing on the quality
of commercial milk. Certain kinds of
strainers cause milk to appear clean,
but fail to remove all impurities. OF
all the milk filters in common use only
two-absorbent cotton and filter cloth
are reasonably efficient in actually
improving the commercial quality of
milk. Even these filters must be kept
clean and changed frequently to in
sure satisfactory results.
According to reports from about
forty thousand farmers wire gauze
strainers are In more general use than
any other kind, but studies with the
microscope show plainly that the
meshes are much too large to hold
back any but the very coarse impuri-
ties. One thickness of cheesecloth or
other cotton cloth is only slightly
more effective than a wire gauze
strainer, but when the cloth is folded
to about eight thicknesses its ability
to remove dirt in milk increases some
what, but is still inefficient as COM
pared to absorbent cotton or filter
cloth.
Filter cloth, specially made cot
ton cloth, smooth on one side and
fuzzy" on the other, was found rea-
sonably effective. This cloth can he
obtained from leading dairy suDply
houses. The milk should be poured on
the fuzzy side, the fibers of which
stand up like the nap of carpet, and
remove all but small percentage of
the solid impurities. The most effec-
tive strainer of all, however, accord
ing to the experiments, was a layer of
absorbent cotton placed between two
thicknesses of cheese
At best straining mil a practice
that makes milk appear clean and
therefore more easily salable. but no
strainer removes either the bacteria
and Objectionable tiavors or the very
fine dirt. AS consequence straining
milk fails to improve its wholesome
ness to any noticeable degree. san
milk is best obtained by ,rv
methods which prevent, so far as nns.
sible, the entrance of dirt into the
milk. This can be done best by hay-
ing clean cows in a clean stable and
milking with clean hands into stpr-
ilized small-top pals.

FOUGHT THE FLOWING BOWL
Eastern Monarchs and Religious Lead
ers Long Ago Lifted Their Voices
Against Drunkenness.

Temperance movements and prohibit
ton crusades date back at least 5000
years. 1t was China that first tried
to be bone-dry. Early reforms along
temperance lines are attributed to the
priests of India and Persia. But the
Chinese claim that in the eleventh CEN
fury before Christ their emperor, so
disguised over the prevalence of drunk
enness, ordered all the grapevines in
the kingdom uprooted.
A hundred years before this bone
dry effort, in the twelfth century be-
fore Christ, King Wen tried partial re-
form in China. Wen, founder of the
Chou dynasty, promulgated an San
nouncement Against Drunkenness" &C
cording to ancient Chinese documents
handed down by Confucius.
King Wen declared drinking has
long been national vice" He or
dered that wine be used only In con-
nection with sacrifices-and even then
drunkenness was not to be tolerated.
The temperance reforms also ex-
listed in Egypt centuries before Christ.
Here's what teacher said to a youth
who had been looking upon the flowing
bowl too freely:
Drink not beer to excess. The
words that come out of thy mouth
thou canst not recall. Thou dost fall
and break thy limbs and no one
reaches out hand to thee. Thy
comrades go on drinking; they stand
up and say: Away with this fellow
who Is drunk If anyone should then
seek thee to ask counsel of thee, thou
wouldst be found lying in the dust
like a little child"

Calves may become infected with
tuberculosis at an early age, and any
