Sawdust is a good extinguisher of
oil fires especially if the oil is in a
deep container. sawdust poured on
burning oil floats and smothers the
fire by shutting off the oxygen. Care
must be taken that the sawdust does
not become oil soaked and as hazard
Gus as the oil itself. Two or three
pounds of common soda mixed with
a bucketful of sawdust renders it al
most intirely incombustible- , When
this mixture is used on very hot fire
the soda gives off gas which aids
in smothering the flames. Coarse
sawdust should be used and care
needs to be taken that the dust does
not form a cloud as fine sawdust or
wood flour suspended in the air may
explode if ignited.

While some of the dirt in milk
comes from the air, the hands anf
clothing of the mixer, and unclear
strainers, pals, cans, and other uten-
sis, the greater part drops from the
body of the cows during milking
Straining removes the coarse particles
of dirt but eliminates neither the fine
dirt nor bacteria. The process i'm
proves the appearance of the milk
but may give a false impression OF
the real cleanliness of the milk if the
results are used as the sole guide.
Cheese cloth and wire strainers, be-
cause of their coarse meshes, are ur-
satisfactory for straining milk. Abb
sorbent cotton and filter cloth, which
can be bought from the drug stores
OIL dairy supply houses at compar-
atively moderate cost, remove most
of the sediment from milk.
Since the body of the cow is the
chief source of dirt in milk she should
be groomed frequently. In addition
the TANKS, udder, and adjacent belly
should be cleaned with a moist cloth
just before milking. These parts il
kept clipped are much easier to clean
The use of a hooded or small-top
milking pail aids materially in pre-
venting dirt from falling into the
milk.

To keep butter from sticking tn
paddles and other wooden utensils
these should be thoroughly rinsed i'm
mediately before using, first with hot
water and prevents the butter from
sticking to it. Wooden utensils should
be cleaned Immediately after using so
that the fat will not have an oppor-
tunity to get into the pores of the
wood.
