To The Hamlet, N. c., Opera House.

Girls who can really sing and
dance have been lacking from road
attractions during the past few sea-

due to the fact that vaudeville for
several years has featured big girl
acts, while now it fayors novelties
and the producers of road attrac-
tons have gained thereby.

great heat and great pressure are suf-
ficient to transform ordinary carbon
into the diamond form without a

Milk of ordinary quality held at rs
degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature not
uncommon In the summer, soured in
SO hours, while the same quality of
milk held at So degrees kept sweet
for SO hours, and at 40 degrees for
$50 hours. These results were OBJ
tanned in an experiment carried on
by the dairy division, United States
Department of Agriculture, to deter
mine the effect of temperature on the
milk and the results explain in a large
measure why milk which has not been
cooled on the farmland kept cold
often is sou when 1t arrives at it's
destination.
The best and quickest way to cool
milk to 80 degrees Fahrenheit Is over
a surface cooler. Use the coolest wa
ter available, and then set the cans
of milk in a well-insulated tank filed
with water below 40 degrees Fahren-
heit. A ~10-galIon can Of milk preceded
with water at IS degrees Fahrenheit
and set in a tank of ice water at 81
degrees Fahrenheit was cooled at 80
degrees In 20 minutes.
The use of a surface cooler Is es-
pecially necessary when the time be-
tween milking and shipping is short.
If warm milk is run over a surface
cooler, and then set in a tank of wa
ter cooled with ice to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit or below, it should not be
difficult to cool milk to so degrees
within an hour after it leaves the cow.
Because preceding with a surface
cooler is not practiced and fee is not
put into the cooling tank before the
milk, much milk reaches the shipping
station in summer at so high a temper

On many farms the water used for
cooling milk comes from the general
storage tank or from q spring. The
temperature Of such water when ii
reaches the cooling tank is much high
err than when it leaves the well or
spring. Well or spring water that has

"As your boat feels It's way land
