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

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
hut 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 gauEe
strainers are in more general use than
any other kind, but studies with the
microscope show plainly that the
meshes are nRHch too large to hold
lack any bat the very coarse Impure
ties. One thickness of cheesecloth oil
other GOTTEN cloth is only slightly
aDore effective than 4 wire gauze
strainer, but when the cloth is folded
to about eight thickncsses its ability
to remove dirt in milk increases some
what, but is stll Inefficient as com
pared to absorbent cotton or filter
cloth.
Filter cloth, a specially made COT
ton cloth, smooth on one side aIad
fuzzy" on the ether, was found req
sonably effective. This cloth can be
obtained from leading dairy supply
houses. The milk should be poured on
the fuzzy side, the fibers of which
stand up like the nap of a carpet, and
remove all but small percentage OF
fae 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 practice
that makes milk appear clean and
therefore mere easily salable, but no
strainer removes either the bacteria
and Objectionable fiavors or the very
fine dirt. AS a consequence strainlng
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 haN
ing clean COWS in a clean stable and
milking with clean hands into ster-
liked small-tOp pals.

CABINET SEATS IN CONGRESS.

There is considerable discussion nowadays as to the
advisabty Of giving cabinet members seats in cnogress
This would be distinct innovation for the United States,
though it is customary elsewhere In England and in
nearly every other country using the English parliament
tary SYSTEM on which our government largely mod
eed in the beginning the cabinet members have to
the legislature though they are not permitted to vote
This arrangement is found mutually advantageous
to the administrative and legislative branches It enables
the cabinet to keep in touch with legislation and enables
the legislature to get necessary information pending
measures easily and directly is natural with the grow
ing tendency have bills shaped by the executive depart
mens before their introduction this plan should receive
serious consideration. The increasing compexity and
scope Of make necessary for experts to pre-
pare and explain matters Congress and the cabinet would
probably get along BETTER ordinarily and make pro-
gress, if they worked together in this way.
