CHEESE INDUSTRY IN SOUTH
Becoming Noteworthy Factor In Dairy
Ing, Particularly In North Caro-
lima and Tennessee.

In the South, particularly In North
Carolina and Tennessee, the cheese in
dustry is becoming a noteworthy fac
tor in dairying, following the intro
duction of successful methods of
cheese making developed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In each of these states two new
factories were established during last
year with the help of the dairy divi-
sion specialists of the department.
The Grove City creamery, Grove
City, Pa, conducted under the direc-
ton of the dairy division, continues
to manufacture foreign types of cheese
by methods developed In the lab
oratory of that division. The produc-
ton of Roquefort. Swiss and Camem-
bert cheese during the year exceeded
10000 pounds.

STERlLIZlNG MILK BOTTLES
Only Thorough Washing, Steamlng
and Drying Produces Sterile Con-
talner for MIX.

Too much emphasis cannot be given
to the fact that only thorough wash
ing, steaming and drying produces a
sterile container for milk and that
milk should not be allowed in any
other than q sterile container at any
time, and particularly If the milk has
been pasteurized or otherwise heated.
The washing and sterilizing OF re-
turned empty milk bottles TO a city
milk plant constitutes a big problem.
Bottles are received in varying condi-
tons of cleanliness and from the
many and varied sources of collection,
and 1t becomes somewhat OF an accom-
plishment to make them sterile con-
tainers for milk.
The incubation from the empty
bottle can be reduced to a minimum
by thorough washing, steaming and
draining, and as this is possible and
highly important from a health point
of view no other method should be
tolerated.
Placing pasteurized milk In a bottle
which has not been sterilized just
previously lessons the efficiency of the
pasteurizing process and helps to de.
feat its purposes.

AMERICA IN THE STONE AGE
When Columbus Came Few Of Its In
habitants Knew the Use
of Metals.

When Columbus landed at SansSal-
sadOr, nearly all North America was
in the Stone age. The Mexicans were
using copper, and though they did not
alloy it to make bronze, they treated
the metal in a way to make it fairly
good cutting material. A few of the
northern tribes of Indians either
worked copper or traded for it. But
the vast majority of them used stone
and this in a continent richer than
any other in easily found and smelted
copper and iron. In northern Michi-
gan, copper mines were found with
blocks of ore separated from the bed
vein-yet the natives who hunted
around these mines used flint arrow
heads.
The stone implements and weapons
used by the Mohawk chief in the days
of Columbus were not whit better
than those used by the CrO-MagnOn
people of France $4,000 years ago.
Moreover, these ancient Frenchmen
seem to have arrived in that country
with their culture full grown-whch
means that it must have had a long,
slow development elsewhere, probably
in Asia.

QUALITY, NOT SIZE, COUNTS
Mans Mental Superiority Not Due to
the Relative Size of His
Brain.

Elephants and whales are said to
of their brains. But, compared with
the weight of the whole body, there
are not many animals which can beat
man-in fact, it may surprise the
reader TO know that there are ami
mails existing which rank ahead of hui
Misunderstanding, of course, the weight
of the brain as against that of the
whole body.
Many kinds of monkeys, certain
members of the squirrel family, and
few of the mouse species, all being
small animals, surpaSs man in brains
so we are told. Any animal, however,
which is larger than man, has no
brain which is relatively as large as
his.
1t would appear that mans mental
superiority is due rather TO the quail
lty and organization of his brain than
to the size, says a London Answers
writer.
The usual weight of mans brain is

A small head is no criterion as to
the brains of a person; it depends
upon the cerebral cOnvolutions as to
ones brain power. Indeed, it is said
that the large brains do not always de-
note great mental capacity.
Many celebrated men in the past
have possessed brains weighing less
than the average 1919 ounces of man.
kind generally.
A brain weighing over GO ounces
said to have been the heaviest known
was the possession of a man who
never earned more than 40 shillings a
week during the whole of his lifetime!
Another man who never earned large
sum was said to have record brain
for weight, so that size and weight are
nothing to go by!
Fishes brains weigh a 3,SSSth part
Of their whole bodies.

see that when the doors are closed not

SODIUM FLU0RID POISONOUS
Care Should Be Taken That Material
Does Not Get Into Drinking
Water or Feed.

If sodium fluorid is used for killing
lice on chickens be careful not to let
1t get into the food or water. Don't
pour it out where the hens will drink
it before it can soak into the ground.
The material is rather poisonous IL
taken internally.
Where some of the sodium fiuorid in
dust form reaches the body of the op-
orator, and Is allowed to remain for
several hours. local irritation and
burning may occur on tender parts of
the skin. In busting large flocks it is
better TO use a table rather than to
hold the fowls between the knees. The
solution does not injure the hands,
even when dipping Is continued for
several hours, except where there are
sores, which may become slightly irri-
tated.
Don't allow sodium fiuorid solution
to remain in galvanized vessels a great
length of time. 1t is best not to keep
it overnight in tubs or galvanized con
tainers, as it will injure them.

is correct and as indicated upon the
tag.
Careless weighing on wagon scales
causes as much difficulty as careless
weighing by any other method. One
of the principal causes of unsatisfac-
tory weights upon wagon scales is lack
of proper care of the scales and Of
the necessary attention to keep them
in repair and IN good working order.
Accurate weights cannot be obtained
on scales that are out of repair.
Wagon scales should be inspected fire.
quently by competent inspector and
care should be taken TO see that they
are in proper adjustment and balance
before weighing any lot or load of
hay.
Care must be taken also to see that
the load is in proper position upon
the scales. The load should not bind
upon the scale box or building. and
if the team eXerts any effect upon the
load 1t should be unhitched.
When obtaining the tare weight the
weigher should be certain that the
wagon contains the same equipment
as when the gross weight was OBJ
tanned. A good rule Is to remove ev-
erything but the necessary equipment
from the load before weighing.
Keep Bale Check When Loading.
If the producer or shipper loads the
hay directly into the cars care is espe-
cially necessary to compute the total
weight correctly. Loads are frequent
ly distributed in two or more cars
because of the variation in the quail
ity of the hay. If the bales are
tagged, a careful record should be
kept of the bales placed in each car.
If not tagged, the part of the load
placed in each car should be weighed
separately. A careful check of the
total number of bales placed in each
car should also be kept so that the
shipper may have the proper data
upon which to base q claim should
any loss occur while the hay is moving
to market
The following suggestions, If fol-
lowed, will greatly assist in eliminat-
ing some of the troubles caused by
improper weighing methods:
Whep using tag weights record the
actual current weight.
= Have wagon scales In proper adjust
ment and balance
See that wagon contains same equip
ment when weighing both the gross
and tare weight.
When loading two or more cars
keep careful record of hay loaded in
each car.
Always keep bale record, together
with weight record, Of each car.

"Dead Mans Chest"

Robert Louis Stevenson made this
ditty famous in Treasure Island" but
the verses were not his own. Thou
sands of persons have specialized since
whether the chest was part of the
anatomy of corpse or merely sail
Ors box for personal belongings. The
fact is that certain bay in the Carib-
bean islands was known as Dead
Mans Chest" in the days Of piracy
because of its resemblance to a sail.
Or's trunk.
The identity Of the author of the
ballad is unknown. Half century
ago it was a popular "chantey" on
the merchant ships of those days.
There are dozen stanzas in the
original text, dealing with the wreck
ing of an English pirate vessel after
sruesOme night Of mutiny and murder
Stevenson did not plagiarize in
using the verse, for he merely put into
the mouth Of one of his characters a

all over the seven seas.

The tests show, however, that the
impact depends largely upon the kind
and condition of the tire. Pneumatic
tires cause the least damage to the
road surface, the cushion Of air n
ducing the impact so that II Is sci.
dom greater than IL times the static
