Helping the Meat and Milk Supply fc*. n f°rniation Service, United States repartaient of Agriculture.) keep milk below fifty degrees. Surface Cooler Over Which Milk Should Be Poured When Drawn, and the Tank for Keeping Cans Cold. CONSERVE FOOD L, VALUE OF MILK Constantly Clean and Cold Is Formula for Making Best of This Product. SPOILED MILK VERY COSTLY Put Bottles in Refrigerator Minute After Milkman Leaves It at Door —Every Dairy Utensil Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned. One quart of spoiled milk costs more than 25 pounds of Ice. That for persons who have to do with milk In small quantities—con sumers. This for persons who have to do with milk In large quantities— producers : One ten-gallon can of spoiled milk costs more than a thousand pounds of Ice. Besides, this fact for both classes: Milk Is mighty good human food and Ice isn't food at all. There is no possible argument in favor of wasting ice, as there is no possible argument in favor of wasting anything. The creation of ice con sumes coal and ammonia and other things needed toward winning the war. But there is the best possible argument In favor of making the best possible use of whatever Ice Is used and, since milk Is probably the most important human food, taking into consideration all classes of people from infant to the aged, there is every argument, not necessarily for using more ice in con nection with it, but for using a good ileal more care in seeing that the milk never gets very far from the Ice from the moment it is drawn from the cow to the moment it enters the human gullet. Spare the Ice, but do not spare It at the expense of the milk. Much Milk Lost Every summer multiplied thousands of gallons of milk are lost—poured into sink and sewer and run with the rivers to the sea—because people are not careful enough about bringing the bot tle in to the refrigerator immediately after the milkman leaves It at the door. Milk should be kept always at a lower temperature than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Assuming that the man who milked the cow, the man who bot tled the milk, and the man who made the delivery all did their part, all their effort is likely to be thrown away if the bottle is left on a hot doorstep for an hour, or even half an hour. Get the milk on the Ice the minute after the milkman leaves It at the door. And some rather keen eyes are open to see to It that the dairyman does his part toward keeping the milk coo 1 as It should he from the time it is milked until it is delivered. With this aTU ** Is a picture of a milk cooler that the United States department of agricul ture recommends to—and urges upbn —the dairyman. The coldest water obtainable—iced water, preferably, but. In the absence of that, water d - rect from a cold spring or well—Is to be used in it and the milk. Immediate ly after It Is drawn from the cow, is to £^ur,<l over .ho cooler. FYom ten to fifteen gallons of cold water oassed through the cooler for every gallon of milk cooled. The milk flows rtowtt over the cooler and Is brought Jo within three degrees of the tempera ture of the water. Iced Water for Milk. After that the milk should go into a cooling tank. The taux recom menTl by the department of agr.aU ture is made with a ttwo-inchay« o' , Kotween two shells of four men concrete. Three gallons of iced water should be used for every gallon of mi k rend y to ship, and it should he pro tected from heat during hauling with blankets or felt jackets. Every vessel that milk touches in any way—cooler, cans, 'pails and bot tles—should be sterilized and kept clean. Constantly clean and constantly cold. That is the formula for getting the full benefit of the milk supply. Even brief lapses from cleanliness and cold cause the bacterial count to mul tiply and the milk to deteriorate. =jimimmiiimiiiimmmmimmimim£ I PoRK production HINTS. = s A large, raw-honed sow, hav- ü " ing plenty of capacity and size, EE EE hut lacking in femininity and E = quality, is one of the poorest in- = jjjjj vestments a breeder can make, = jï for her pigs will be slow to de- S s velop, hard to fatten, and lack- S 5 ing both in number and in uni- j-; 5 formity.

The average production of all dairy cows in the United States is 100 pounds of butterfat a year, according to estimates. The average production of all cows in 40 cow-testing associa tions studied by Investigations of the United States department of agricul ture was 247 pounds a year. Careful tabulations of the records of the 40 as sociations show that a production of 100 pounds of butterfat a year gave an income of $23 over cost of feed, while the average income over cost of feed for all the cows in these associations was $47, or a little more than twice as much. Undoubtedly the dairymen who Join cow-testing associations are more pro gressive than the average, and own cows and farms that are much above the average, hut the fine showing made by association cows should be credit ed, in large measure, to association •vork. Certainly the cow-testing asso ciations return many dollars more than they cost. It is encouraging also to know that the cow-testing association records indicate that the large-produc ing dairy cows are the least affected by the increased cost of feeds. There fore, every dairyman should aim to keep them where they will continue the economical production of human food. Economical production can be obtained not only through careful se lection of dairy cattle, hut through in telligent breeding and skillful feeding. Sheep on Every Farm.

Miners and geologists familiar with conditions in Alaska are aware that in many places the ground in that country is permanently frozen, ex cept on the surface, to a depth of 200 and even 300 feet. While this has been popularly attributed to long continued low temperature In winter, the interesting theory lias recently been advanced by a scientist that the condition is due to far colder weather that obtained in some pre vious age, and that protective vegeta tion on the surface lias kept the frost in the ground permanently since then. It lias been found that when moss has been cleared away for open-cut mining or fanning the upper level of the grounds frost seemed gradually to descend. If such Is the ease, it may show that present temperatures are not low enough to freeze the ground to the great depths cited above.—Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. Bridget Had Little Trouble in Explain ing Why She Had Used Poker on Her Hubby. Bridget was before the magistrate upon the charge of heating her hus band, who stood near the desk with his head bound up in a mass of band ages and surrounded by an odorous cloud of iodine, indicating that he had undergone extensive treatment at the hospital. The magistrate called the wife to the bar of justice. "Now, madam," lie said, "can you explain to me why you struck your husband over the head with the poker?" Bridget laid her hand on the bar and leaning far over so she could im press her answer upon the attentive officer of the law, replied : "Sture, I hit him with the poker, your honor, because at that moment I couldn't lay my hands on the broom stick that I most generally uses."
