The city girl was right when, in her essay
on butter, she said, Butter takes from the farm
less fertility than any other crop and it would
take less than it does if mixers not
careless.
Milk and it's products are human foods
Ii could print that sentence in huge golden
letters and hang it over the dining room door in
every farm home where every man, woman, boy
and girl who milk COWS and handle milk and it's
products would have to read it every time they
eat meal, would do it because that one act
would add more dollars to the income from the
cows product than any other one act that could
be performed
Gradually those who milk COWS, care for
cream separators, wash milk utensils handle.
milk and make butter would become imbued
with the tact that they should be as clearly in
their methods as housekeepers and cooks are in
preparing food for human consumption.
And why not?
Is 1t consistent to boil potatoes IN a clean
kettle and vet milk into a dirty pail? ~
Is it worth while for the housewife to scru-
puously cleanse the coffee pot if the cream sepa-
tor is only occasionally cleaned and then not
thoroughly?
Why should mother and the girls dressed in
clean aprons, cook and serve with clean hands
if father the boys and the hired man, dressed in
dirty overalls, milk with grimy hands?
What good are clean kitchens and dining
rooms if there be filthy barns and milk houses?
A chain is but as strong as it's weakest link,
and family is just as clean as the cows they
milk
Cleanliness is next to Goodness"
How godly family is cannot be found out
in the church, neither can you tell how cleanly
family is in the house.
Most people are godly in the church and
most people are 81, anly in the home
Study folks at their work and play. That
is the way to find out how good they are
Walk thru the barn at milking time and
look at the COWS, the pails the mixers, the stalls
and then 20 to the milk house and see the strain
er, the separator the churn and the milk cans
This is the way to know how cleany folks are.
Potatoes, meat, -four and most other foods
are cooked before eating. Even if they are a
little dirty, cooking makes them wholesome
Milk, cream and butter are largely eaten
raw. If they are dirty they carry germ life
which cooking has not destroyed. They. are
wholesome only if the germ life is harmless; they
are unwholesome and dangerous if the germ life
is of disease producing variety.
Of all foods produced or prepared on farms
in factories and in kitchens, the one food thai

should be surrounded with clean careful meth
DDS is milk and the products derived and made
from it,
Fortunately most people are clean. They
keep clean COWS Iii clean, wel-bedded barns;
they wash udders and teats before milking; they
use pals, stralners and that have been thor
oughly cleansed and scalded with boiling water
each and every time following their use, and the
parts OF the separator that come in contact with
with the milk and cream are likewise cleansed
and freed from germ life; SO is the churn Milk
and cream are promptly and regularly marketed
and kept clean and cool until they are.
Such people are clean because cleanliness is
a fundamental CHARACTERISTIC Of theirs.
Because they are clean they prosper in the
dairy business, for those who buy dairy products
insist on high quality goods and are willing to
pay the price.
No intelligent persons will purchase dirty
milk butter, cheese or ice cream if they know it
and neither will they buy these products made
from dirty milk which has been cleaned up by
scientific processes if there is any way of detect
ing that dirt and germs have ever been in con-
tact with that which they are purchasing as food.
This is more true today than it has ever
been as is illustrated by the excellent demand
for and the excellent price Of high quality butter
as compared with prices obtained for lower grades.
There is not enough good butter on the
market 10 supply tne demand and the low grade
prouuct which is on the market finds sale only
at very low price.
Butter scoring 81 points is butter made from
cream that was just little dirty and yet in the
early part of November the price of butter
scoring 81 points was 18c lower on the wholesale
market than that of butter that scored 90 points
Pride aud a knowledge that milk is human
food should suffice to impel all people handling
mi and its products to be clean.
All others should recognize that lSc per
pound in favor of butter made from clean milk
is fairly good reward for cleanliness.
There is lot of satisfaction that comes to
one with the realization that he is clean and tidy
and thoughtful of his own self and the welfare
OF others; also there is lot of money that comes
as reward. If there are any who doubt this,
let them estimate the amount of butterfat their
COWS produce in year and multiply the total
by l8c. The result will be the difference be-
tween black and red on the ledger at the end of
the year
1t is worth while for the milk and butterfat
producer to be clean for the sake of his con-
science and for the sake of his bank account. adv

There have been many realistic effects
created by Langdon Mccormick, but
quite the most effective and realistic are
those Mr. Mccormick has placed IN his

LIVED LONG WITHOUT FOOD
Many Cases of Genuine Fasting Re-
corded Among the Many That Were
PaIpabIy Fakes.

When the cupboard is bare, and
housekeeping funds are low. the poor
taxpayer thinks of the fasting of the
Carthusian monks, and wonders if
that is the practical answer to his
problem.
Apart from the obvious tricksters of
the travelling fairs, there are many
notable cases Of genuine fasting.
In the year 1347, Cicely Lidgway was
charged with the murder of her hus-
band. and in order to impress the
judges with her innocence. she tasted
for 40 days and was acquitted, folks
considering her salvation as direct
divine Intervention.
A well-known American medical
man, Doctor Tanner of New York, fast
ed for 40 days in the summer of 1880,
and lost nearly AZ pounds weight in
the process.
Louis Latteau, who died at the age
of thirty-three in 1883, was said to
have gone without food for II years.
Amongst the most famous of the
fake fasters was "The Fasting Wom-
an of Tutbury," who claimed to have
abstained from food for 20 months.
She created furore before being fin
ally exposed in 1903.
A man named Cavanagh astonished
the world by declaring that he had
lived without food from February,

nearly two years, but on his statement
being disproved he was imprisoned

Ponds Ike Pools Of Ink.

In .cross-country flying, clear, .quies-
cent ponds of water are usually, the
darkest areas in the landscape. Often
they appear like pools of ink and their
relative brightness is much less than
that of black velvet. This is easily
explained. The. water is perfectly
clear and the bottom is black and
porous. Little or no light is reflected
except from the surface.
Incidentally a pond of this type pro-
vides the best mirror in the, landscape,
for its background is almost perfectly
dark, which is not the case for turbid
water. If one watches very carefully
he can detect the image Of the air
plane reflected in the water without
difficulty at 1000 or 5000 feet. This
gives true vertical line which may
be of use on some occasions. At least
observation of this image gives rec
ord of the horizontal speed regardless
of other movements of the airplane.
