Won't Stay Sweet

No matter how well milk has been
 handled up to the time 1t is delivered
 10 the consumer, it cannot be expected
 to keep well if it is carelessly treated
 thereafter. It should be poured into
 pltcher, pan, or other vessel-freshly scalded to remove any bacteria or mold spores-and kept in cool, clean place
 Tree from dirt flies, etc New milk should never be mixed with old un- less it is to be used at once, as the bacteria in the old milk will, of course, De added also, and the mixed milk will not keep as well as the fresh milk alone.
 Bacteria are thickest where there is dirt and decay. and milk should there Iore De stored only in clean, sweet places- It is safter to keep it covered. to, exclude not only dirt and bacteria, but also the flavors and odors which it so easily absorbs. If kept at tenn perature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, or less good milk should remain sweet for l2 hours at least after it reaches tie consumer, and ordinarily for twenty four hours or more, dairy specialists or the United States department of agrlculture say. Sometimes in very not weather housekeepers complain that Tn spite of all precautions it sours quicKly, even in the ice box. This is oiten due to the fact that the air of the Ice box, although it seems cold in contrast with the heat outside, is really not cold enough to check the growth or the bacteria; if a thermometer placed inside registers more than 50 degrees fanrenheit the fault is almost surely In the temperature of the ice box, and not Tn the milk. In large cities, where most Of the milk comes by morning tralns from considerable distance, it IS often impossible to deliver fresh milk iii time for breakfast, and that mixed the morning before must be given to patrons who insist on an early delivery. They would get Lnelr milk from twelve to eighteen hours fresher if they would take it in he afternoon instead

Vegetable Chowder


 Vegetable chowders offer good way of using up vegetables and skim milk. It is best to learn the type of dish and not be confined to any. definite recipe. say food specialists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. for materials are often wasted thereby which should be used. The following typical recipe is a good one and suggests of the kind of dish one can make
 A pound salt pork or bacon. onion. medium-sized tomatoes or pint stewed tomatoes. green pepper medium sized potatoes. carrotts. cups skim milk. tablespoons flour. 2 teaspoons salt.
 Put the bacon or pork, onions and pepper through the meat chopper and cook carefully about five minutes. Add the water and tomatoes and cook until the vegetables are tender. Cut the po- tatoes and carrots into small pieces and cook in water until tender: drain and add with the skim milk to the other ingredients. Thicken with the flour mixed with little cold milk

or large planter, therefore, needs few hand guns to supplement this power ma chnery
 A wheel-traction or cart duster can se made to take care of about seventy five acres. Its operation repuires sthe work of a man and two m lies. Ii is simple in construction and easier to handle than the engine power f'a~ chimes. This type was developed by the department of agriculture to meet tue need for machine between the hanl gun and the cngine-power duster.
 An engine power duster theoretical ly, will take care of about 160 to 2oa. acres of cotton. but it is cumberson and difficult to handle successfully. X machine requires two more mules and two men.
 The departm specialists are work ing now toward the development of duster that can be attached to a saddle {. and operated from mule back or 2 the rows and drawn by one mule.
 As most of the dusting is done at night. artificial light is necessary rhes only lighting system that has given satisfaction is special model of acetylene light using a compressed car- bide cake for fuel. It is compactly con- structed and the cart Is comparatively low.
 The cost of poisoning operations for the season may be expected to run from $7 to $10 an acre. Gains in seed cotton as the result of poisoning prop erly done will run from 200 to 1000 pounds.
 The first question to be decided by anyone contemplating poisoning. the specialists say. is whether or not his conditions are such as to enable thes operation to be profitable. The soil is sometimes so poor that. even if com9 plete normal yield were secured, the crop would not pay the cost of pois-J oning. Regardless of conditions it iss ordinarily best for farmer to under f take poisoning at first on only a DOT tion of his cotton. selecting the most fertile soil. which is subject to the heaviest weevil injury. A very ac- curate check plat should be conducted. ? Without this. the matter of gain O. loss is likely to be problematical. Sew eral fairly uniform cuts should be se- lected, subject to about the average degree of weevil infestation. and only one half of each cut treated. A little experience of this kind will soon make clear the conditions under which the grower can or cannot poison profitably

Grain Feeds for Layers

F. The feeder must use His own Judgment in deciding how much grain to give the hens, as the amount of feed which they will eat varies with different pens and at different seasons Of the year. They will eat more feed in the spring while laying heavily than in the summer and fall when laying fewer eggs, experiments show.
 A fair general estimate is 10 feed about 1 quart of scratch grains and an equa. weight of mash taboue l12 quarts daily to 13 hens of the general-purpese breeds, such as Plymouth Rocl,s. Rhcde lsiann Reds or Wyandottes, or to u Aens of the smaller or egg breeds rh would be about 71a pounds each of sclatch srains and of mash daily to el -e4htris ans about 91a pounds of each to 10J general purpose fowls.
 If hens hs free tan rf a'e wards containing green feed a genersl-purpose hen will eat about 75 pot.-i-.s U. .ted in year and a Leghorn WA, eat -toout el' pounds. in addition to the green stuff consumed.
