Care OF Milk On The Farm

All utensils which come in contact
with milk should be of smooth durable
material which can be easily cleaned by
rinsing with warm water. then thoroly
washed in hot water containing some
good washing powder, such as sal soda,
and finally scalded with boiling water
and inverted on a rack in c'ean place
away from flies and dust, but exposed
to fresh air and sunshine where they
are allowed to remain until required
for use.
The milking should be done where
the air is fresh and pure. For con-
venience the cows should be either
sanctioned or tied to prevent their
moving about while being MIXED. The
COWS udder and fisnks should be wiped
with damp cloth to remove any dust
or loose hairs that might fall into the
milk pail. Mixers should always milk
with dry hands and practice cleanliness
in every respect. as milk is very easily
contaminated while warm.
Milk should be removed from the
barn Immediately after milking. strained
into clean cans or vessels and placed in
cold, running water with water sur
rounding the can as high MS the milk

the milk has been strained 1t should
be thoroly stirred with long handled
dipper or spoon. This prevents the
cream from forming blanket over the

In the past ten days we have planted

potatoes, wstermelons and canteloupes.
With the succession there is little
chance OF being without vegetables q
day thru the summer.
The Falcon has been asked several
times how one can plant spring grown
Triumph potatoes with prospect OF
getting a stand. First, the pot4tOe
must be matured when dug, the vines
almost dead. Then when dug, the
small potatoes cut in halves and plaht.
ed Immediately, is our best method.
But remember that no potato will come
up when planted thus unless it is mature
when dug Another. and next best we
have tried. is 10 dig, spread in tie
shade for two weeks, then cover with
old sacks wheat or Oat straw, keep
moistened for two weeks. when
sprouts should be showingoH many, of
the ewes. Other mt tnods, have been
tried. but these are our best methods
ss found by trial. We are planting this
week by the first named. method and
with present moisture hope to get, n

ing than the ordinary turnip. but they
take a longer growing season. Our
land is ready now and will be planted
in rows Is inches apart by the time
this is read. With favorable seasons,
they can be grown to weigh four or five
pounds when planted early enough.
Ordinary turnips are not planted here
generally until August or September,
but the Ruta Baga must be planted in
June or July to get them large enough
to be worth while.
Il transplanted my lettuce and work
ed it well but il did not head. can you
tell me why?" This is what townsman
said to US few days ago. The reason
was that he waited to transplant until
the weather was too hot for heading of
lettuce. II a cool weather plant and
must be transplanted early CROUCH to

or you must wait until the cool of fall.
