KEEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN
Necessary If the Milk Is to BE Kept
Pure, Sweet and Wholesome

Cleanliness is neXt.to godliness, es-
pecially in the dairy business. All the
sanitary precautions taken for h o Il S.
ing the dairy herd will be of no avail,
if the utensils used in handling the
milk are not kept clean. To be sure
utensils are clean, they must be ster-
ilized, not simply washed, to remove
impurities that may be seen.
The water used for washing must
not be contaminated. In many in
stances where typhoid fever has ap-
peared, the source of the disease has
been traced thru the milk to the wa
ter used in cleaning the dairy utensils,
says Professor J. NJ. Scott, of the
Florida Experiment Station. Other
germs, those causing milk to sour,
for instance, may be carried in the
same way.
All vessels should first be thoroly
rinsed with cold or warm-not hot
water, to remove all traces of milk,
and then scalded with boiling water.
Sterilizing with live steam is the best
method of destroying germs. Altho
this is not practical on all farms,
every dairyman can do the next best
thing, which is to boil all the vessels
for few minutes. When removed
from the boiling water, the vessels
should be set upside down in d clean
place free from dust so that they
may drain thoroly.
If vessels are first washed with hot
water, the albumin in the milk coag-
ulates and sticks. As a result the
vessels will be sticky and greasy and
hard to clean-harborers Of germs.
Frequently vessels, on being taken
from boiling water, are wiped with a
cloth teeming with million of germs.
In this way more germs are usually
left than are removed. The boiling
of the vessels is not for the purpose
of removing dirt, but for destroying
germs. Hence, after boiling, the YES
sells should not be wiped, but set to
drain and dry.
If the vessels are cleaned and ster-
ili2ed as directed, there is no need to
sun them. But, if half cleaned. they
are breeding places for bacteria.

The mealy-bug, a common pest in
citrus groves, especially in dry warm
weather, can be controlled satisfac-
torily by spraying with a good insec-
ticide. Merely washing these insects
off the trees is so effective that spray
ing with clear water under strong
pressure is often sufficient to control
them. However, it is better to use
some insecticide. The miscible oils
commonly used for whitefiy, or whale
oil soap, pound to to gallons
of water according to whether the
water is soft or hard). In spraying
it is imperative TO have good pres
sure in order to force the liquid into
the corners and the crevices and to
wash many of the insects from their
support. Kerosene emulsion is fair
ly effective. To make this dissolve
l II pounds of soap in three gallons
of water, and gallons of kerosene
and mix by means of a pump; then
add this water until there is so gal
Ions.

Keep the Refrigerator Clean

Since the refrigerator is a place
to store food, il should be kept clean
and sanitary" say members of the
Florida Home Demonstration Divi-
sion. The first step in this matter is
the use of clean ice, if it can be had,
The next is to clean up at once any
food spilled on the walls or shelves.
A weekly washing with cold water
and soda, wiping the refrigerator dry
after cleaning is a necessity. The
drain pipe needs particular attention
and should be removed once or twice
a week, cleaned with hot soap suds
and scalded. 1t should not be re-
placed until it is cool. Keep the ice
box we'll filled, as the cooling off of a
warm refrigerator wastes a large
amount of ice. Keep clean stopper
ed bottles of drinking water on ice
rather than using ice TO cool the wat
er. Do not wrap ice in newspapers
to hold back the melting, as it pre-
vents free circulation of the cool
air thru the refrigerator chambers.
Know what you want before you open
the door Of the refrigerator, take it
out quickly and close the door.

SEED TREATMENT
Lessen Danger of Disease by Treating
Seed Bed Before Planting

Seed that are TO be planted in the
scedbed or in the field should be of
the very best quality and free from
diseases, and they should be treated
with n disinfectant before planting,
according to Dr.. George F.. Weber of
the Florida Experiment Station.
There are great many very seri-
Gus diseases spread to surrounding
rlants from diseased seeds such
diseases spreading from seed often
completely destroy whole seedbeds
and cause replanting.
Corrosive sublimate or bchlorde
of mercury~is standard disinfectant
for vegetable seeds. 1t is made by
dissolving one part corrosive sublim-
ate in 1000 parts Of water, or tab
let dissolved in l pint of water.
The following seed should be soak
ed in the disinfectant according to
the time limit indicated. Eggplant
seed should be soaked in the disin-
fectant for 10 minutes; pepper seed
10 minutes; tomato seed minutes;
watermelon seed Is minutes; cab
bage seed 8 minutes; caulifiower
seed 5 minutes; onion seed Is min
utes.
After the required time, drain the
disinfectant from the seed and wash
them in running water for l 5 min
utes, or in five changes of water, TAX
ing five minutes in each change.
Then spread them out TO dry before
planting. Small seeds may be easily
handled if they are first placed in
loose cheese cloth bag which can be
securely closed.
The tablets of corrosive sublimate
can be purchased at any drug store
The tablets and the disinfecting So
luton are deadly poison and should
be handled with care.

National Association
Aided Realtors in Tax

Many realtors do not know that
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards saved them from
the imposition of a Federal license
tax of s25 per year. In the fall of
1914 the Revenue bill prepared by
the House provided for an annual
tax of s25 on real estate brokers
as well as a stamp tax on legal
instruments The measure passed
the House.
Thomas Shallcross, jr.. of Phila-
delphia. who was the president Of
the association, took the matter up
energetically. When the bill was
under consideration by the Finance
Committee of the Senate. its men,
hers were convinced by the repre-
sentatives of the National Associa-
tion that the license tax was un-
fair and it was eliminated. Had
this annual license tax been i'm
posed at that time 1t would still.
in all probability. be in effect.
This is one instance in which every
realtor in the United States has
been saved many times his dues
through the viligance and activity
Of his national organization.
