DAIRY
HINTS
SANITARY HOUSE FOR DAIRY
Necessary Where Milk Is Handled, Be-
cause OF Its susceptibility
to Contamination.
prepared by the United states Department
of Aericultura \

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
Because of the delicate nature Of
milk and its susceptibility to cOntami-
nation by dirt and odors, dangerous to
the health of the consumer and likely
to cause loss to the producer, a dairy
house constructed on sanitary prin-
ciples and properly located is a neces-
sity on every farm that sells milk.
The regulations of the different
states vary, but it is usually found de-
sirable to have sucn building a short
distance from the barn, or, if it adjoins
the stable, to have only an outside en-
trance. Prompt removal of the milk to
facilitate cooling and prevent contami-
nation is always necessary. A concrete,
brick or tile house with asbestos or
slate roof, although comparatively
costly, is fireproof, durable and sani-
tary and requires few repairs. Other
materials that may be used are stone,
cement blocks and wood.
The floor of the milk house is par
ticularly important, and concrete, be-
cause of its ability to withstand mois-
ture, decay and wear, Is the best ma
terial. Although dressed tongue-and-
groove lumber may be used for the in
side walls, cement plaster makes the
best finish. Light is important, and
window space should be equal to at
least 10 per cent Of the floor space.
To keep the air sweet and dry good
ventilation is needed. In some eli
mates windows and doors will provide
it, but in most localities other means,
found necessary. Flies and other
germ-carrying insects must be kept
out with screens so arranged that they
will not interfere with the operation
Of the windows and doors.
Plentiful supplies of cold and hot
water, for cooling and for cleaning
and sterilizing, are a necessity If a
high-class product is to be turned out.
The unavoidable spilling of milk and
the use of quantities of water demand
an adequate drainage system that will
carry the waste well away from the
house. Most local and state health
departments have specific regulations
on this subject.
All Of these problems of dairy
house construction are discussed in de-
tail in Farmers Bulletin 1914, Farm
Dairy Houses" just issued by the
dairy division of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, copies Of

SOY BEAN HAY AS RoUGHAGE
Tennessee Station Finds It Superior to
Corn Slower In Producing MIX
and Butter

The Tennessee station compared soy
bean straw and corn stover as rough
age in the production of milk and but
ter. The ration containing sOy-bean
straw was found superior to that con-
tanning corn stover. This ration pro-
duced more pounds Of milk and butter
fat and produced them more cheaply
than the cornstover ration. In every
case there was less loss in milk and
butter fat during the feeding Of soy
bean straw than during the feeding Of
corn stover. 1t was concluded from
these tests that soy-bean straw is a
valuable addition to the rOughage in
the feeding OF dairy cows.

NOVELTY SILKS FOR SPRING
Special Attention Given to Fabrics for
chiIdren's Wear-Loud Plaids
for Sports.

Silk manufacturers, believing that
women will want simple things In nov
city silks next spring, have in cOnse-
Quence designed many fabrics that are
unusually well suited to children's
needs.
In the sport silks, for example, the
'loud" plaids Of sharply contrasted
colors and bold designs have yielded
to the quiet things suitable for the
simple slip-on-frock, so similar to the
style affected by the juniors.
Women are expected to want
great many fabrics In all-white, or
white with one gay color which gives
this, too, helps to make the way Of the
child's dress designer an easy one.
Good taste marks the choice Of design
and cOloring.
One finds here a white crepe de
chine, with tiny check of bright red
woven or printed on the fabric, and
there a light jade green canton crepe
with large check made by a white cord
of artificial silk. Many Of the sport
silks carry out the quieter giugham
ideas in softer effects than are usually
found in the cottons. Others use plain
or fancy stripes.
The crepe fancies are probably in
the majority for sport wear, and are
more suitable for the young dress than
the artificial silk materials would be.
For summery afternoon frocks there
are charming printed crepe de chimes,
frequently with tiny floral patterns,
well spaced on white grounds. The pat
terms are In delicate pastel colors, and

CARE IN SELECTING CoLoRS
Becoming coIors for Everyday Clothes
for Mother and Daughters Will
Add to Happiness.

Isn't it more important that every
day clothing, both for mother and
child, should be pretty and becoming
than that the Sunday clothes" or
clothes for special occasions should
have all the care? A child that wears
a becoming school dress will be much
more likely to take care Of 1t and
learn better habits and will be a hap
pier child than one who is ashamed of
her clothes. A mother who wears neat,
pretty everyday dresses will be hap
pier and have a happier family than
one who is careless or slOvenly or
who wears ugly, unbecoming work
dresses.
A becoming color costs no more than
an ugly one. Care in selecting colors
and studying the matter Of cutting the
neck in becoming lines or adding
pretty collars and pockets or a few
stitches of embroidery to a school
dress makes all the difference in the
world.

The waistline is very low-long bodices

Sleeves are Of the pagoda type, or
they may be caught in at the wrist.
There are a few tight-ftting sleeves,
some full ones with the fullness
gathered into the wrist and many
that are wide and straight Many
show fanciful slashings, through which
bright colored undersleeye is re-
vealed. Red is still favorite color
for facing wide sleeves as well as
for undersleeves.
The long, floating scarf of a con-
trasting color is a feature Of Jenny's
afternoon and evening dresses. Even
serge dresses in her collection ex-
plot this idea. Frequently the scarf
is of silk, such as foulard.
Skirts are longer, the hem being
about six inches from the ground.
The perfectly slim, straight skirt is
being rapidly replaced by the one of
circular cut. In most instances the
ripples appear at the sides only, the
back and front hanging in straight
lines
Hem lines are irregular. The effect
of an uneven hem is not obtained
through panels as frequently as 1t

panel is passing, 1t has served its
purpose-that of producing an uneven
appearance at the bottom of the skirt.
