MAKE EQUIPMENT TO
CLEAN DAIRY PALS
Heating Apparatus Is One OF
Greatest Conveniences.
LoW-Pressure Upright Boiler Is Desir-
able Where a Large Number of
Cows Are Kept-Cream Sepa-
rator Saves Labor.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
One Of the greatest cOnveniences on
the farm where cows are kept is some
means of heating an abundance Of
water for washing the milk vessels.
Where a considerable number of cows
are kept, heating water by means of
steam from small, low-pressure up
right boiler is desirable, but on the
small farm stove with a basin fitted
into the top Cor it may be separate
from the tOp) can be purchased
cheaply, and will serve the purpose,
provided the water is properly heated.
Water can be pumped from the well
directly into the basin. In order to
avoid heating the milk room and to
10 away with smoke and ashes, the
water heater should be placed immedi-
ately outside the milk room and, if ele-
Eated, the water from it can be run
INTO the washing vat.
Some equipment is necessary in
which to wash utensils used in han
Hing milk. A vat is very convenient.
One end of the vat can be used for
washing and the other for rinsing and
scalding.
Fiber brushes for washing. milk
Utensils should replace the common
iishrag, as they do better work and
ire more easily kept clean.
On every farm where as many as
Jour or five COWS are kept a cream sep
lrator is advisable, as it will reduce
he labor required in handling the
milk from COWS more than any other
9ne thing.
A refrigerator or ice box is desirable
hpon every farm where either a few
Or many COWS are kept if it is prac-
ticable to secure ice for use in sum-
mer.

Although 10 and a wrinkIed,

According to Mr.. Bolton the
whirling swing which he has de

sorghum factory on the outskirts
south of town will be exhibited at
the county fair Sept. 16 to 20. Con-
sidering his ignorance of all sim
liar contraptions in the belief that
his invention was original. Mr.
Bolton is deserving of a great
measure of credit for the unique
idea.
Since the formal opening of the

have daily taken advantage of the
fun making device, on which rides
are free. A few improvements on
the machine have been made with

last winter. being compelled to use
one teaspoonful of sugar in the
morning cup of coffee instead of
two. need not be unduIy alarmed
Government agents. who are in
touch with the sugar situation. are
convinced that there is enough
sugar TO supply the demands I'M
til the next crop is harvested.
Three Factors.
Congressman Martin of Louisi-
ana, the leading sugar producing
state in the union. attributes the
scarcity of sugar 10 three factors:
The sudden demand made for sug-
ar by the fruit canneries and con-
fectionery factories the limited
capacity ow % sugar refners in
this country, and the strike of the
marine union of New York city,
which held Cuban and Porto Rican
sugar carriers at Atlantic and
gulf ports for three weeks.
Almost every other nation is
suffering from the scarcity of sug-
ar much more than is the United
States. Aside from that which the
United States and Great Britain
control by purchase of the entire
Cuban crop, there is but a small
surplus of sugar in other foreign
countries. And where a surplus
does exist. exorbitant prices are
being demanded
That sugar is higher in other
countries than it is in America
was indicated in a recent report
received from French food Off
Gals to the effect that France is
now facing a serious sugar short
age. The French are seeking an
American supply, but a recent
embargo placed on the expectation
of sugar from this country will
prevent France from getting sup
ply from us. Sugar is said TO be
available in Czecho-Slovakia, but
the Czechs are asking 25 cents
pound. and getting it.
According to Congressman Mar
tin, there is no question but that
the world is now short of sugar
and has been short all of the pres
ent year. 1t naturally follows that
the removal of war restrictions on
the consumption of sugar in this
and other countries has increased
this shortage. He is of the opin-
ion that this shortage will con-
tinue for another year, unless
there is a considerable increase in
production the next year, but that
the United States will not be very
seriously affected.
Fortunately for the entire world.
the prospects are bright for
greater production this year. Ger
many before the war was a large
producer and exporter of beet
sugar, and, in fact, took care of
most of the European demands.
While her sugar output during the
war was reduced to a point where
it only took care of local cOnsump-
ton, yet her fields and her refin-
ers are still intact and the best
available information is that she
will have some sugar for export
the coming season.
