Free Can Washing Service

The Blue Valley can washing SER
vice is free to every Blue Valley

All we ask is that the can be used
for cream only. If buttermilk is
wanted, our patrons bring cans used
for that purpose only. Blue Valley
never permits its men to fill butter
milk in cream cans.
Farmers who sell cream to the new

Two Different Processes

The Blue Valley can washing pro-
cess is entirely different from the
brief process of steaming the can
when it is emptied.
That process does not clean the
can, but simply rinses off the cream.
Unless followed Immediately by
thorough washing, steaming and dry
ing, this rinsing process simply gives
the bacteria remaining in the can the
best temperature in which to multi
ply.
If on top of that, the empty cream
can is used to carry buttermilk back
to the farm, the chances for mischief
in the next batch of cream are very
great, according to all scientific in
vestigations.

More About the Blue Valley Methods
In recent articles in the Herald we
have told of some of the more import
ant Blue Valley creamery methods
that make the farmers cream into the
highest possible grade of butter.
The methods, such as gIass-lined
cream watts and positive cream pas
teurization, cause Blue Valley pack
age butter to sell for higher price
and reduce manufacturing expenses.
That means a higher price for but
terfat and more money to the farmer
AS already explained, these better
Blue. Valley methods are the result of
constant scientific research work in
the Blue Valley laboratory, checked
against practical work in all our
creameries and backed by twenty
three years successful creamery ex-
perience.

Blue Valley Efficiency

These figures are just a few of a
great mass of data on can washing
collected by the Blue Valley research
laboratory in it's Investigations.
After reading them you will un-
derstand why Blue Valley insists on
washing every can in which it re-
ceives cream. You will also under
stand why we insist that in the Blue
Valley creamery as much attention
be given to the can washing process
as to the churning process.
You will also begin to realize the
great value of the Blue Valley re-
search laboratory to every Blue Val
ley patron.
Blue Valley can washing is .onlv

thoroughness and efficiency in serving
the farmer. It accomplishes a dou-
bic purpose. 1t makes for better
cream, and it takes work off the farm.
If You don't think the work of can
washing on the farm amounts to
much, just ask the wife. She will be

away from the farm.

that the cans will be sterile or prac-
tically free from bacteria, they must
be steamed until they are piping hot.
To remain free from foul odors, the
cans must be thoroughly dried.
The creamery has the facilities for
producing hot water and steam, and
therefore the creamery is the right
and only place to do can washing.
A Great Help ....
This Blue Valley service is real
help to every farmer who avails him
self of it.
: Not only does it help very mater
tally in protecting the quality of his
cream, but it actually performs for
him and his folks disagreeable
task, and does it better.
The can washing machine repre-
sents substantial investment and
the process adds little to the cream
cry expense However, it is far
cheaper Inc the long run to both
patrons and the Blue Valley cream
cry, because the job is done. right.
Also, the Blue Valley creamery is
helping the farmer with his dairy
chores, as it should.

Importance of Proper Can Washing
Blue Valley recognizes that it owes
this better service to the farmers, and
it is glad to render it.
We consider our can washing sys-
tenn one of the most important steps
in Blue Valley buttermaking methods.
So will you when you read the follow

Blue Valley solves the problem by
washing the cans for the farmer.
Your cream can is washed, steamed
and dried at the Blue Valley Cream
cry before it is returned to you. 1t
is done in the way that reduces the
bacteria content to a minimum, as
proven by laboratory experiments.
That's another way in which Blue
Valley methods protect your cream
and give you additional service. It
relieves you or your wife or daughter
of burdensome task, and it gives
you an absolutely clean can, ready for
your cream. We find it is service
that farmers everywhere appreciate
very much.

Blue Valley Can Washing

Blue valley Can Washing
In the Blue Valley creamery every
empty, can passes through an auto
matte can washing machine, which
first washes it, then steams it and
then dries it.
The process has been fully stand
ardized by the Blue Valley research
laboratory. 1t cleans the cans as
they should be cleaned to prevent all
contamination of the cream. The
whole process takes only a few min
utes.
Each and every can receives the
same attention and is subjected to
the same process of washing,
steaming and drying for the, same
length of time. The lids go through
the same process.
No can is permitted to return to
the farm without having gone
through this cleansing process. It is
sure then to reach the farm in a
clean and sweet-smelling condition.
Without any work whatever on the
part of anybody on the farm, the can
is ready for cream again, and it is
absolutely clean.

How to Make Pine Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results. Takes but a moment to prepare
 and saves you about $@.

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip- tions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several elements that have a remarkable effect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest.
 Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The syrup" part is usually plain sugar syrup.
 To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy, put 2H ounces of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up with home made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make full pint more than you can buy ready-made for three times th5 money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
 You can feel this take hold of cough or cold in way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may be persist: ently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same-in- famed membranes-and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it usually in A hours or less. Splen- did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse- ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com- pound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, and is famous the world over for it's prompt effect upon coughs.

The Secret a Wise OLdWon1a1 Disclosed to the Young Bride
By DOROTHY DIX

An old woman was talking to a young bride the other day, and this is what she said;
 My dear, if you want to make your marriage a success, and keep your husband in love with you to your golden wedding day, make him com fortable and be cheerful. In that lies all the law and the prophets about how to retain husbands affection.
 Men are funny things, my child, and they are mostly not what bride expects them to be. They don't go around thinking great surging thoughts, nor, after marriage, are they bubbling over with a never falling stream of romance and sentt- ment; nor are they consciously and nobly trying to do their duty. Still less do they sit with their fingers on their pulses, counting their heart beats, and trying to decide whether they are ceasing to love their wives, because their James are losing their girlish figures and their hair is get ting a little grizzled.
 No. A man picks out woman for his wife because he admires her above every other woman, and such is his confidence in his own taste and Judgment that it never even occurs to him that he could have made @ mis- take, unless she forces the matter on his attention. He doesn't even notice how she looks enough to per ceive that she Is losing her youth and beauty. The last time he really gave her the once over was when he popped the question, and she always looks that way to him provided she makes him comfortable.
 That Is the real secret of vamping B husband. Beauty fades. Brilliance palls. Charm loses it's magic, but the woman who knows how to make nan comfy has a conjure that never fails.
 "Of course, the very essence of comfort lies in home being clean and orderly, and having a table that Is always spread with nourishing and well cooked food. Tn many of our states for man to fail to pro- vide a decent living for his wife en- titles her to a divorce from him. What Is sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose, and for woman to

From The Nations Business
 For years we have drawn lessons on government ownership from tele- phones, railroads, and street cars, but if we were asked right now to give our strongest. most convincing argument against government own ership we should put ourselves on record as saying: "rhe Post Office Pen!"
 Did anyone ever zee 8 good pen in a post office or a bad one in bank? And who owns and controls the post office? And who owns and controls tho bank? We hurl this ar- gument at any advocate of govern ment ownership and we remind him:
