MILK STEAMERS COMPARED
Absorbent Cotton and Filter Cloth
More Effective Than Wire 0auze
or Cheesecioth.

prepared by tho United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Clean milk depends primarily on
sanitary methods Of production. 1T
milk strainers as commonly used "a ,
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
Ill 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 wire gauZe
strainer. but when the cloth Is folded
to about eight thicknesses it's ability
to remove dirt in milk increases some
what, hut 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 be
Obtained from leading dairy supply
houses. The milk should be poured on
the fuzzy side. the tibers Of which
stand up like the nap Of a 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 layer of
absorbent cotton placed between two
thicknesses Of cheesecloth.
At best straining milk is a practice
that makes milk appear clean and
therefore more easily salable, but no
strainer removes either the bacteria
and Objectionable flavors or the very
fine dirt. AS n consequence straining
milk fails to improve its wholesome
ness to any noticeable degree. Clean
milk is best obtained by sanitary
methods which prevent. SO far as pos
sible. the entrance of dirt into the
milk. This can be done best by hav-
ing clean cows In a clean stable and
milking with clean hands into ster-
nized small-top pals.

KEEP LIBERTY BONDS
More Should Be Purchased at
Present Market Quotations.
Financial Experts Believe Every
Issue Will Be Above Par WITHIN
Few Years.

Paralleling the treasury depart
ment's effort to bring about wider
realization of the value Of investment
in war savings stamps and treasury
savings certificates, call has been
sounded urging the public to make the
most of the markets investment op-
portunities by purchasing Liberty
bonds at their present quotations. 1t
is pointed out that 1t is just as patri-
otic today to buy Liberty bonds at
"a, IS or IS as 1t was to buy them at
100. while on the other hand, 1t makes
the investment just that much better
for the man who buys. For instance,
AZ per cent Liberty Bond If bought
at "a for example, yields 4.52 per cent.
1t is pointed out also that the fall in
Liberty bond issues is an excellent
reason why those who own the bonds
should hold them now. rather than sur
render them at loss. In purchasing
The bond. the buyer tacitly agreed to
let the government have the money for
10 or 20 years, or whatever the term
was. He gets less for the bond, il
sold now, because he does not abide
by the implied terms of the agreement.
He wants his money back now instead
of waiting the period of years stated
on the bond he bought.
Every bond will be worth par at
maturity and long before that time
in the opinion of leading bankers.
Financial experts are Of the belief
that every issue of Liberty bonds will
go above par within few years. As
capital piles up again and interest
rates drop, the rates borne by the Lib.
erty issues will seem correspondingly
large and the value of the principal as
invested, the bond itself. will be cor
respondingly greater.
In spite Of repeated warnings. Lib
erty Bond owners still continue to lis.
ten to the smooth-tongued sharpers
who have fanciful stocks that they will
trade for perfectly good Liberty Bonds.
