How To Handle
Farm Family Milk

The handling in the home of
milk produced by the family cow
has long been a troublesome pro-
blem, says John A. Arey, Exten-
sion dairy specialist at N. c. State
College
You find almost as many diff
ferent falvors of milk and but
ter as there are farm homes"
the specialist said. GAS matter
OF fact, cows do not produce all
these many favored products.
The different tastes found in dali
~ products in different homes
are due to the different ways the
milk is handled"
A simple method of handling
the milk will solve almost any
problem that arises from the
home production of dairy food,
Arey added. He said that the best
container for milk from one or
two cows is the standard glass
milk bottle. Just after milking,
the milk should be strained
through a good filter-type strain
,er after which the filter cloth
should be discarded.
Three to four folds of cheese
cloth can be used when a filter
type strainer is not available but
it is necessary to sterilize the
cloth with boiling waEer after
each use. Unless the cloth is steri-
lied, it will act as a source of
bacterial infection to milk each
tim e the liquid is strained
through it. After straining, the
milk should be poured into quart
glass bottles. A small tin funnel
is good for use to prevent spill
ling. The bottles then should be
capped with standard milk bottle
caps. Several months supply of
caps can be bought for less than
so cents.
The milk next should be
cooled in cold water before it is
removed to the refrigerator or
ice box.

night after her husband, Jacob Ste
vey, 81 years old, died at Miners Hos
pital Frostburg, at 1:20 o'clock in the
afternoon as the result of a gunshot
wound in his left temple.
The man was shot while he was ly-
ing across bed in the couples home.
His wife told officers that he had COM
mitted suicide. She maintained this
story for several hours and then finally
declared:
"Well, I'll tell you the truth;
shot him."
The charge, fired from single
barrel shot gun, struck the man in the
left shoulder and temple and some of
the shot also pierced his right hand
1t was the wounds on the shoulder and
hand which led officers to believe the
wound could not have been self-in-
fiicted. Mr.. Fraley said he believed
Stevey, who was lying on the bed, had
seen his wife pointing the gun at him
and had attempted to shield himself
by throwing up his arm just as the
gun was discharged.
Tried To Obtain Poison

fession was made Mrs. Stevey talked
freely and admitted trying to obtain
poison from Grantsville druggist
number of days ago. She told the drug
gist that she wanted the poison to "kill
three vicious dogs" When she was re-
fused the poison and told to have her
husband shoot them, she said he was
too chicken-hearted." She then asked
for some rat poison, but this also was
refused
Had Planned Killing A Week Previous
Fraley said the woman told him she
had decided week previous to kill
him before he killed her. She said she
had killed him because he was ILL
tempered and had threatened to kill
her and the three children on several
occasions, and that she feared he was
losing his mind.
