BEGINNING TO VALUE GOAT
Unreasonable Prejudice Against AMI
NAL Is Slowly Dying Out in
the United States.

For centuries the Swiss mich goats
bave been furnishing food to thou
sands of families IN European coun-
tries, but ignorance and prejudice
against the goat in the United States
have prevented them from generally
being k.pt in this country. However.
in California they are gaining ground
ana in other states they are gradual
ly but slowly being introduced. But
If the people only knew that the goat
IS one of our cleanest animals, and
that its milk is almost tubercuiar
proof, and richer than cows milk. and
that n good mich goat will give
enough milk to supply n average
family. a goat in each family would
soon be the rule. And then the goat
eats little. for one goat will eat about
a sixth as much as a COW n will
give about q third as much milk. III
a doe gives three quarts of milk per

Before You Build.

Think twice before you build; don't
let the present shortage of houses
scare you into buying the first lot you
come to and setting the contractor TO
work. Look around a bit; the house
you build will stand there a long time
your home. Plan to make it beauti-
full and to give it a setting Of beauty
1t can be done; trees will do 1t. Nice
houses are always made nicer by the
company of trees. They look more
like homes. They strike a note of com
fort. of permanence, of stability. of
peace. In Good Housekeeping Miss
Alice Booth shows us with many
beautiful photographs why the best
of homes need trees.

WIPED OUT FLYERS
English Airmen Made Short Work
of Turkish Enemy.
Breakfast Proved a Very Much De
layed Meal, but Still the Results
Were Worth a Little Spell
of Hunger.

When in the winter of 1911-lS. Gen.
eral Allenby decided TO wipe out the
Turkish army the next fall. he planned.
with the assistance of Emir Feisal and
his Arabian troops, To take Nazareth
and Galilee. Feisal led a camel troop
of W thousand men inland into the
desert in the late uInmer of 1918, say
There We're heat and flies that few
white men could endure, and the way
led far north behind the Turkis;f army
that was facing Allenby.
When they had cut the only railway
by which the Turkish armies down
below could get their supplies, and
had blown up bridges and long stretch
es of track, the Arabs fell back into
the desert to await Allenby's drive,
and there the Turkish airplanes found
them Nine machines spent most of
their time over the huddled Feisal
army.
BY good luck, Colonel Lawrence,
Feisal's adviser. an Englishman whose

sky AT first, and finally it landed and
a British officer stepped out.

"My servant will take care of YOU. |
must 90 to Allenby myself to ask him
for airplanes."
Before the officer could protest, Law
renee was Off and in n few hours was
talking with Allenby.
I'VE must have airplaneS.' he told
the general. IF we don't stop those
Turkish planes our Arab army will
dissolve into the desert. The men say
they can't stand still and be killed
from the sky"
"All right Allrnby replied. TN
send three planes and a cargo of pc
troll to you In the morning. Day after
tomorrow I'm going to start my drive.
Keep the railroad broken until then"
Flying back to the waiting officer,
Lawrence took the good news to Feisal
In his tent, and at five o'clock the next
six hungry men |clanbercd down to the
sand.
'First thing We'll do is have break
fast" they said To Lawrence, who had
come out To meet them. But as they
began TO unpack their food bags they
saw five Turkish machines coming for
their daily slaughter of Arabs and
camels.
I'VE finish breakfast after We get
those fellows" said the airmen.
Within the mex half hour Emir
Feisal and his Turks saw five Turkish
airplanes come tumbling down out of
the sky. The flying men then came
back to breakfast, but they had barely

they left their breakfast. and within
another half hour two more Turkish
machines We're wrecked In the desert
sand. Then they nce more came to
eat. Although they had begun break
fast at five, the meal was not finished
until ten O'Clock. But II afterward
t%ranspired that the Turkish flying
force was finished at the same time.

chimes burned their planes to avoid

EFFICIENCY IN

Efficient grouping of farm buildings
has come to be looked upon as one of
the most important phases of erecting
farm structures. In reality, it is ap-
plying to the buildings that house the
various farm activities the modern
factory system of ~aligning the various
steps in the process of manufacture
So that there is no lost motion.
Such a group of farm buildings is
shown in the accompanying design for
a dairy barn, an implement house, silo
and milk house. Here the buildings
are combined so that the work of car
ing for a herd of 30 or more cows can

-, and the other where the milk II han
died. A plentiful and convenient sup
ply of water is a necessary feature,
and its purity is an obvious requisite.
To make sure that utensils are prop
orly washed, convenient arrangements
for heating water should be provided.
The sanitary |dairyman rinscs his uten-
sis in cold water Immediately after
using them, and then washes them In
hot water 10 which soda or some
washing powder has been added.
brushes are preferable to cloths for
washing as they are more easily kept
clean and do better work. Utensils
should then he steriliZed by means OF
some form of steam sterilizer.
The milk should be weighed, strain
ed, ana cooled in the milk house short
~ after II is brought from the stable.
Straining is intended to remove the
dirt that may have fallen into II, and
is best done with "A layer of sterilized
absorbent cotton placed between two
cloths, OF by using filter cloth or sim
liar material. Such cloths should be
washed just as the utensils are, boiled
five minutes, and then hung In "A clean
place IN dry.
Cold Checks Bacteria.
Relatively high temperatures pro-
mote the multiplication of bacteria.
Therefore, il is essential that the milk
be cooled as soon as possible TO 90
degrees +. or lower. Ordinary cool
ing can be done satisfactorily by plac-
ing the cans in a tank, preferably OF
concrete. II the farmer has a supply
of ice the tanks can he filled with Ice
and water. If he has no ice fairly
good results can be obtained from Il
well or spring Of running water. In
either case the cans should be i'm
mersed well up TO the necks. Stir
ring with a clean stirrer will also
hasten cooling. A more rapid method
is to run milk over n cooler In the In
terror of which is cold, running wa
ter: but If the air is moi pure the
milk will be contaminated by this
process.
The United States department of
agriculture is glad to supply any
farmer engaged in dairying with a va
riety Of pamphlets relating 10 sani-
tary dairy methods, as well rs other
equally important questions, such as
Keeping the herd free from tubercu-
losis. While the observance OF the
suggestions offered relating 10 sani-
tary practices may involve some addi-
tional expense, experience has proved
repeatedly that the direct benefits to
the farmer in the greater demand for
his product more than repay him for
the outlay involved. Every farmer
engaged in dairying will find II profit
able 10 do his utmost to make the
full milk bottle, so familiar TO city
folk, a symbol Of purity.
