GENTLEMEN FROM NINE STATES TO
 VISIT SCIENTIFIC FARM AND DAIRY

rier was valued at between $S5,OOO and $40,OOO. Langwater Soldiers mother sold for $5.o00 at auction
 when she was but a young COW ana his half brother brought it's owner an offer of $15 5,000. A big, sleek, d1gnlneo animal. he rears his head from his private stall and gazes proudly down long line of handsome looking caves and no doubt feels thrill of pride as he sees his 25 daughters and four sons all in a row. and to the amateur visitor, all looking alike as so many peas in a pod.
 Wedgemere General, a young bull of the same pedigreed stock, although another branch of the family from Langwater Soldier, will be used for breeding purposes with the younger COWS, so as to avoid inbreedfng. Modern Dairy Machine Another thing which Is becoming popular in up-to-date farms, which the victor will see here, Is the mod ern milking machine. Most of the milking Is done by machinery. Milk from every individual COW is weighed and a separate record is kept. Then the visitors will be escorted to the milk plant. Here again will be seen the acme of cleanliness in handling milk Men who carry milk. in pails or cans tothe milk plant are not permitt- ed to go beyond a small lobby where put their milk into receptacle through a sterlized filter cloth from which place it runs into clarifier and | through that to an automatic cooler where the microbe literally is killed before 1t has chance to be born. It is a scientific fact that microbes double in population. in milk which is left standing, every 20. minutes. The l principle of Moorland farm is to get the milk cooled and bottled before the
 microbes have chance to get at It.
 After being cooled it is poured into d
 bottling machine. promptly bottled
 and the bottle placed in a vat of ice
 water.
 100000 Quarts Year l While agreeing that pasteurization
 is the only thing for milk dealers who | buy from various sources and sell
 mixed milk to the public. MT. Moore 1 does not think 1t good policy to pas- i teurize milk which is handled from
 pure bred stock and prepared for

 it is impossible to begin to supply the
 demand, Is the best evidence of it.

 the hill on this farm and given V panoramic view of such natura
 grandeur that even an Alpine climbe r. must gasp with awe. The beauties 0
 that little valley are we'll calculate ; to strike responsive chord in tn :, heart of one who sees them for tn ; first time. Partially screened by dens - green foliage, here and there a brett : little home lifting it's head above tn -' trees. as one looks down from tn
 elevation, is the town of Berlin. Con 5 tinuing to look in the same directio the view carries one over one noun }. tain after another until finally, ava n off in the distance. can be seen tn hills through which words the males g tic Connecticut river
