Autos and Building Seen
Squirting Fourth Quarter

New automobiles and home

quarter this year than previously

He is DR.. Arthur NJ. Weimer

Indiana University's School of
Business, who addressed the

Undoubtedly the automobile

models fairly early in the fall

for the next step. Shake the utensils TO remove as much
moisture as possible. and then place them upside down on a

The Care Of Farm Dairy Utensils

Spoilage or souring of milk is chiefly due to the action
Of certain bacteria. These bacteria are in the air, soil, water
and even on the bodies of living and dead animals. They are
present everywhere; and thrive especially well when condi-
tions favor their growth habits. We have seen sweet, fresh
milk spoil within a very short. time if the proper methods
Of handling it were not used. Not too long ago it was believed
that dust in barns and stables was responsible for most of
the bacteria in milk. However, scientific experiments have
since proved that improperly cared for and unclean utensils
or dirt from the cows body account for more bacteria than
all the other sources combined. To reduce the number Of bac-
terra to a point where harmful effects are least, you must
be very careful
Not only do carelessly washed pals or cans account for
bacteria getting into milk, but even utensils that have been
washed and steamed or scalded, and appear perfectly clean,
may add millions of bacteria to milk at the next milking if
even a few drops Of moisture have been allowed to remain
in them.
To prevent bacteria getting into milk from your utensils,
here is what you must DO:
Use. only the best grade utensils. If possible. get milk
pals Of seamless construction made Of some non-rusting ma
terial. If seamless utensils are moi available. get heavily Tin
ned steelware. Never use galvanized. enamelware OF wooden
pals; nor pals with rusty spots. Clipped or cracked seams
, ROUGH surfaces. They are very hard to clean. Don't use
steel wool on dairy utensils II leaves scratches to hold bac-
terra. and hastens rusting.
After a pail or utensil has had milk in ii. a film Of milk
remains on the inside surface Of the utensil. Remove this
without delay by cleaning with a warm rinse and be sure you
oct all traces Of milk by following the rinse with a stiff
bristle brush and a solution of a good dairy cleaning COM
pound. The solution should be about l25F. Do not use very
hot wafer. because ii scalds the film over the surface instead
Of removing ii. Don't use ordinary soap either. because Il
forms a greasy film which IS hard to rinse off.
After pre-rinsing and brushing or s~crubbing, dairy uten-
sils should be thoroughly rinsed with plenty Of water. as hot
as possible. This leaves the surface clean and hot and ready

machine, the Baltimore club,
managed by the late Jack Dunn,
turned out stars, some of whom
were sold to big league clubs for
what were fabulous prices in
those days.
What was amazing was that
Dunn, while selling his stars,
kept winning. First he sold Jack
Bentley. Then Max Bishop, Lefty
Grove, George Earnshaw, Joe
Boley, Curly Ogden. Dick Porter,
AL Thomas, Fritz MaiSel and
others. Probably there never
was a minor club quite SO good,
not even the crack Newark
team of the International League
when it was loaded with the stars
who were to become the nucleus
of the great Yankees of the 1905.
If veteran Baltimore fans sigh
wiStfully and yearn for that old
gang in preSent-day big league
company, it is understandable.
Dunn'S Orioles of that era would
have made things lively in the
American League today. Espe-
cially if one more was added, a
fellow Dunn sold in 1914 to the
Red Sox for a paltry $4,000. His
name was Babe Ruth.
