He goes about in fame, while know

effacement, if / may so say, to stif1e
this humiliating feeling.
"The Vilner's enthusiasm for my
boy brought me grand visit from the
municipal judge, who condescended
to step out of his royal carriage and
listen to Mischa's playing. Mischa
was at that time playing in the back
yard with the geese, and his appear

was neither elegant nor artistic.
Nevertheless the man pronounced him
genius after hearing him play some
simple compositions, and promised his
influential assistance.
"That carriage outside my door
established my great fame in Shpolna.
The butcher, the rabbi, the black
smith wondered at the good fortune
of Elman. I felt flattered and digni-

Mischa's progress now came from the
high Russian dignitaries. 1t came
in the shape of pogroms. Tsar Ro-
manoff, in his gratitude for the part
the Jews had played in the cultural
development of Russia, ordered a
thanksgiving service in the form of
massacres, and Shpolna was not left
out of his consideration.
II cannot go over the horrible
scenes that took place in our village.
Sitting now in this comfortable study,

those scenes seem visionary. l can
think of them only with difficulty.
"The pogroms had quieted and the
last feathers from the torn cushion
had ceased flying in the air when I
received message from the Countess
Urusora, the greatest lady in Shpolna
and the neighboring country, to bring
Mischa to play for her. The countess
was the instigator Of the pogroms in
our district, and to the Jews she was
the Angel of Death. My first impulse
was to reply that child of the po

at the sight of him. Priests and po-

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The increasing use OF milking ma
chimes in the United States makes the
method of cleaning and caring for them
an important one. In studies Of dairy
sanitation the number of bacteria
which survive various methods of
cleaning and care enables Investigators
to determine the relative merits of
various systems of cleaning machines.
In addition to laboratory observations,
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has tried out methods of clean
ing and steriliZing mechanical mixers
on u number of farms.
On IL farms where only ordinary
care was given, the highest bacteria
count was more than 2,0O0,0O0 per
cubic c~entimcter, and the average was
more than Il quarter of a million. After
the machines had been kept clean and
steriliZed by the hot-Water method, the
average of 261 samples showed less
than 10000 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter, and one sample showed only
one thousand. OF course, with careless
methods, milk produced by hand milk
ing may be badly contaminated: but
the milking machine, being an addi-
tional piece of apparatus between the
cow and the consumer, should receive
special care
Hot-Water Method Best.
SteriliZing milking machines with a
chlorine solution has been d me on a
good many farms, but the tests made
by the department have shown that
much better results come from the use
of the hot-water method. Just after
milking, the machines are rinsed with
cold or lukewarm water drawn through
by vacuum, the stream being broken
occasionally by pulling the teat cups
out of the water and lmmerSing them
again. This is done 10 or l. times. The
process is then repeated with hot soda
solution, and the cups and tubing are
washed with a brush at the same time.
Then the parts are rtnsed by drawing

seeds from diseased cultivated cucum-
bers rarely produce mosaic plants. II
has been found, however, that seeds
from mosaic fruits of the wild cucum-
Der will produce a certain percentage
of mosaic plants when planted and
the disease may thus winter over on
this wild host. Wild cucumber vines
appear along fences and streams from
three to four weeks before the cult
waited cucumbers are planted, and the
striped cucumber beetle feeds on
these wild plants and then flies to
the cucumber fields, carrying the
mosaic virus if it exists. The com
mon milkweed is also subject to Gu
cumber mosaic and as II lives for
many years the disease is reproduced
each year from the diseased roots.
Insects, particularly the melon aphis,
are also the agents which carry
mosaic from miikweed to cucumber.
Eradication of these wild hosts Is

Cost Of Eats"

dollars a month. Nearly one-third OF
the money goes for bread, potatoes,

vegetable nature. More than two
thirds is spent for meat, fish, eggs,
butter, cheese and lard. The average
householder hands over TO the butcher
more than one-ifth of his income.

water is then heated to 160 degrees or
10 degrees F. This may be done by
setting the tank on q stove; by setting
it up and building a fire under it or
by introducing steam from a boiler.
The parts are left in this water until

termined, but so far the temperatures
used have had little effect on the life
of the rubber.
Clean Thoroughly Each Week.
To keep the machines sweet and
clean they must be taken entirely
apart once a week and all the parts
scrubbed with brushes and hot soda
solution. The line should be
cleaned every two weeks by drawing
hof soda solution through it, but if
milk Is accidentally drawn into IL the
pipe should be cleaned Immediately
after milking. Pals and covers need
to he washed and sterilized with steam
or boiling water after every milking.
II is important that the development
of mechanical mixers should not be
handicapped by improper methods of
cleaning them.

CORN FOR SILkGE PURPOSES
Early Planting Of Well-Matured SEED
Of Large Variety Is Often
Most Profitable.

In the north an early planting of
well-matured seed of a large variety
of corr Is often most profitable when
the crop is intended for silage pur.
poses. OF course, II a grain crop is
desired, the corn variety must be
chosen that has the best chance Of
maturing a good yield Of grain. But
Ii silage Is the object, the same de-
gree of maturity is not necessary.
The production may be increased sim
ply by choosing a somewhat longer
s. crop, n that will reach the
proper ensiling stage at about the
same time the Northern grain would
have to be maturing. Here Is one
more place where the Northern silo
owner can get the jump on some OF
his less fortunate neighbors.

The Department. of Agriculture is now
experimenting with several hundred
cattle in various parts of the country
with view to confirming the Madison

are wasted at present because there
is no way of using it economically.
And if wood cattle food can be pro-
