to the fact that only thorough washing

container for milk and that milk
should not be allowed in any other
than 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 con-
ditions Of cleanliness and from the
many and varied sources Of collection,
and II becomes somewhat OF an ac.
complishment to make them sterile
containers for milk.
The incubation from the empty bot
tie can be reduced to 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 he

Placing pasteurized milk In Il bottle

tween the price paid the producer and
that paid by the consumer.

IMPROVEMENT. OF PUREBREDS
Virginia Farmer Gradually Helps
Quality Of Stock by Using Those
Of Superior Type.

OF Isl head of live stock on q farm
in Shenandoah county, Va, all but five
are of pure breeding, the United States
Department of Agriculture is advised.
Cattle and swine are the principal
classes of animals kept.
In participating in the Better Sires
Better Stock" campaign, the owner
of these animals states that he cas-
trates all inferior and surplus hogs,
keeping none for breeding that can not
be registered. II castrated 20 in one
day." he adds. ''Three Of these were
good enough yearling boars to head
most herds" By keeping only those
animals for breeding which are of su-
perior type. this farmer is gradually
improving the quality of stock on his
farm.

COMFORT OF COW IMPORTANT
Roominess, Cleanliness. Sunlight
Fresh Air and Proper Feed Are
Some OF Essentials.

OF Importance Is the comfort of the
COW. This is often the only reason
for constructing barn, notwithstand-
ing the fact that there are other con-
siderations. The comfort Of the COW
requires roominess. cleanliness, sun
light, fresh air and feed. The barn
with a wing extending to the south
ward providing two rows Of stalls and
with windows. in either Side is type
still very much In favor and has much
to commend it. In this style of barn
1t is easy to adhere to the modern
standard Of "six square feet of glass
per cow" This may appear to be a
large proportion of glass, yet it is
none too much.

grinding from 500 to 1000 tons ot
Deets per day. 1t is the latest and
best steel and concrete construction.
1t is a large plant and there is no
wood in its construction except the
roof. Even the window sash are
steel. Parties qualified to speak on
the matter say there is nearly 100
times as much steel in this big plant
as would be required for the two
bridges mentioned. The whole steel
contract for this factory was only
$4,000 +. o. b. Rigby, when steel
was $139 per ton. This comparison
shows the estimate on the cost of said
bridges to be beyond all reason, IL
some common-sensed bridge man be
allowed to handle the matter. Jeffer-
son county built steel bridge across
the same stream a few miles further
down in 1919, and this was built for
about $1,000 when steel was higher
than 1t is now.
Now, then, what are we going to
do in the face of these facts? Similar
complaints are in the air, in all the
counties on this side of the state.
where they have had anything to do
with the state in building highways.
l don't know whether it is the fault
OF the law or the handling these high
way matters by the present state Of
Metals, who have charge of them, but
something is radically wrong.
Over here, we are iisgusted abso-
lutely with ''long-distance" road
building. 1t has proven costly Joke
and we are convinced the law should
be SO changed to let the counties
build the roads. We might have a
state highway engineer to represent
the state, and when what is called a
state highway is to be built, and the
county and state is to participate in
paying the cost, that the state en-
glneer and the county authorities get
together and agree on the route, then
let the county engineer run the
grade, and the county build the road
up to certain requirements to satisfy
the state and federal authorities.
after which the state highway en-
glneer could approve the work, when
finished if right, o. X. it, and turn
over the state and federal money to
the county which would do the work.
The county furnishes twice as
much money as the state, and the
state builds the roads. It is a case
OF the tail wagging the dog.p If the
people of the county are qualified to
dig up the money, they feel they are
capable of putting some one in charge
OF their road construction to get sat-
lsfactory results. If proper results
are not obtained they can reach the
local county officials and remedy
matters. whereas they cannot reach
the state road officials very well.

ers in doing the actual work.
Now, as to the bridges. In the
length of this five and half miles of
Yellowstone highway, there are six
ordinary canals which will average
and require bridges Of about sixteen
feet in length, and there are the two
spans mentioned across the dry bed
of about seventy-five feet each in
length. / am informed that last fall
a contract was let for $4,000 to
build these bridges. The county
originally set aside $4,000 and the
state agreed to furnish $4,000 max
ing $4,000 and the federal govern
ment was to match this with $45, 900
more, making 100000 available to
build this five and half miles of
state highway across level country,
or at the rate of $4,000 per mile
All that has been done is the grading
and one mile only is now in use, after
two years since the county put up
it's money.
But after letting the contract for
the bridges, it became apparent that
the 100000 was not sufficient, so the
state highway department came to
the county commissioners and stated
$4,000 more would be necessary and
that the state would furnish $11, 900
of this if the county would furnish
$4,000. The commissioners refused
to do this, claiming the road could
be built for the original appropria-
tons made for that purpose, viz:
100000 that had been available.
Consequently the whole proposition
is dead-locked and as long as the
present inefficient and shamelessly
extravagant state highway depart
ment is maintained or allowed to op-
crate the way it is now doing, it will
remain so.
Regarding the two steel bridges
across the "dry bed" above referred
to. The state highway department
claims it will cost about $50, to
build these. In order to get an idea
of what the real cost would be, the
writer asked an eastern steel COM
pany to furnish figures for which it
would lay down all the necessary
steel for these two bridges, according
to the requirements of the United
States standard bridge construction,
and this certain company offered to
do this, put the steel down in Rigby,
all fabricated and ready to be bolted
together for $10,50O for the two
bridges. 1t is safe to say that $1O,-
900 more, if no engineers are allowed
to NEEDLE with the matter, would
build the abutments and put the steel
in place. Gravel for concrete work
Is abundant right from the bed of
the streams to be bridged. The above
figures were furnished when struc-
tural steel was $110 per ton de-

Diseases Of Apples in Storage" now
available for general distribution.
The diseases may be due to the
work Of a parasite or to the direct &C.
ton Of unfavorable conditions upon
the fruit itself. Diseases like scab
and certain rots that are definitely
traceabie to the action Of particular
fungi are called parasitic diseases,
while bitter-pit, water-core, and scald
are known to be wholly due to abnor-
NAL physiological conditions in thu
fruit itself, and are called non-para-
site or physiological diseases. Both
these classes of diseases can be pre-
vented largely by proper methods of
growing and handling the fruit, but
each has its own peculiar laws Of be-
havior upon which the requirements
for Its control must he based.
Delay in warm packing sheds or
cars shortens the natural life of ap-
pies and greatly increases their ten
dency to rots and to scald. Filling
the storage rooms so rapidly that cold.
storage temperatures cannot be main,
tanned has a similar bad effect. APP
PIE rots are slow to start at tenn
perature Of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but
II a beginning has been made at
higher temperature they proceed much
more rapidly.
Ventilation is as important as low
temperature in the prevention of
scald. Apples that receive good aera-
ton when delays occur in handling
them do not have the tendency to
scald increased by the delay. (Any
ventilation Of the storage room that
results in an actual renewal Of the air
within the package is # great value
In scald control.) Apples scald far
less In boxes, baskets or ventilated
barrels than in the usual tight BARREL
Wrapping apples In oiled wrappers
furnishes the most complete protec-
ion against scald.

CONSIDERING OATS FOR HOGS

As general rule 1t Is not worth
while to consider oats as feed for
hogs unless they are selling for less
than one-half as much per bushel as
corn. In case the hogs are being car
ried along rather slowly, however, or
the tankage is extremely high-priced,
It may be worth while to feed as much

any case continue to depend chiefly
