WEATHER AFFECTS MARKETS
Sontimes DemoraIizes Conditions ny
Interfering With Delivery
Prices May Vary.

Weather conditions affect the con-
suming markets in the large cities
somewhat differently from the mar
kets in producing sections, and the
two sets of markets do not always
move in agreement. The weather
sometimes stimulates the demand for
certain products and sometimes de-
moralizes conditions by interfering
with delivery or by injuring the quail
ity of much Of the stock, say market
experts, United States department OF
agriculture.
In the producing sections rainy or
cold weather or extreme heat may in
terfere with gathering the crop or
may threaten it's destruction, thus
causing a temporary advance in price;
or it may hasten the maturity unex-
pectedly and thus cause sudden in
crease in supplies at the shipping sta
tons. Under such conditions prices
may vary ut shipping points independ-
emily Of the consuming markets. An
advance or decline in price may be
carried further In shipping section
than in the consuming market.

Francis said: "'Suffer little children

fresh mornings milk, which were kept
separate. During six months, ATS
samples of mornings milk showed an
average bacterial count of S00,O26,
while 366 samples of milk which had
been held over night on the farms had
an average content of 2,406,357 bac-
terra per cubic centimeter. The les-
son from this is that milk or cream
must be cooled promptly to tempera-
ture of 80 degrees Fahrenheit or lower
If rapid bacterial growth is to be pre-
vented The best and quickest way
Is to use a surface cooler with the
coolest available water, and then set
the cans in well insulated tank Of
ice water, the temperature Of which
is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Cream
sours more slowly than milk; and
thick cream sOurs more slowly than
thin cream. Ordinarily, therefore,
milk should be separated to produce
cream testing from 80 to 35 per cent
butterfat.
Cleanliness Counts In Stable.
A factor having cn indirect but i'm
portant bearing upon the production Of
milk is the character of the stable.
Whenever possible it should be on high
ground with good natural drainage.
Poultry houses, toilets, hog sheds,
manure piles, or other polluting sur
roundings should be at distance from
the COW stable. The latter should
have a floor that is non-absorbent and
easily cleaned; and smooth walls kept
free from cobwebs and dust. Four
square feet of glass is the desirable
amount of window space per COW, and
at least 500 cubic feet of air should
be provided for each animal.
The building where the milk is
handled should be so placed as to be
free from dust and stable Odors, and
should be divided into two compart-
ments. one for handling the milk and
the other for washing the utensils.
The room should be smooth-walled,
clean, and we'll ventilated. All milk
utensils should be of durable, smooth,
non-absorbent material. Wooden uten-
sils are hard to sterilize, and are not
used in the best equipped diaries.
After the cows are prepared for
milking. each mixer should wash his
hands thoroughly with soap and water
and put on a pair sof clean overalls
and jumper, or wear suit, white If
possible, which is used for no other
purpose. Milking should be done only
with dry hands. After the milk is
taken to the milk house It should be
weighed. strained, and cooled at once.
Bottled milk may be kept cool during
transportation by the use OF cracked
ice placed in the crates.

duction Of Clean Milk" may be had
