Generally, the larger . numbers .of; bacteria found in market milk when it| reaches the consumer are due more to tlie multiplication of the bacteria than to the original contamination. 'J.‘hls‘ great multiplication occurs because| the milk:1s not properly cooled during| storage, transportation and delivery. Just now this fact is of particular im-| portance to the person having milk; to sell. Commercial experlence confirms the! results of experimental work. Milk, which has been held for several hours| without proper refrigeration nenrly‘ always shows higher counts than fresh milk from the same source, At a Improved Apparatus for Cooling Milk. | certaln creamery. milk received in the/ morning consisted of the previous night's milk and fresh morning's milk | which were kept separate. During six summer months, from April to Sep-' tember, inclusive, 478 samples of the morning's milk showed an average bacterial count of 800,026, while 335 samples of mik which bad been held overnight on the farms had an aver- | age bacterial content of 2406,357 bac-' teria per cubie centimeter, DRUGS DETRIMENTAL TO COW | Experiments at lowa State (:ollege1 Show That Alcohol, Aloes, Etc., | Are Harmful, ' The use of drugs with the Idea of Increasing the fat production of test cows has been tried but by Iowa State Agricultural college dalry section. In most cases it was found that drugs| decreased rather than increased the, fat production, Such drugs as alcohol, castor oll, pituitrin, aloes, magnesium sulphate, | nux vomica and sodigm chloride were, tried and in all cases they were detri- mental to the cows. All cows used were in good normal condition at the | start of the tests and varlous sizes of | doses were used, In some cases It was found that the flow of milk and butferfat was fin- creased slightly, but this soon fell oft and In the end a decrease was no- ticed. | Up to date no drug has been found | that will incrense the butterfat. Dairymen are strongly advised not to resort to this method as it Injures the cows and Is not a fair way to gain a record. BEST TEMPERATURE OF MILK Only Way to Insure Accuracy In Feed- | ing Calves Is Thorough Use of Thermometer, | | i | Milk as It comes from the cow pos- | fesses a temperature near 100 de- | grees Pahrenhelt, When feeding young | ealves it Is well to be very p'ntlcnh\r' in regard to this matter. The only| way to Insure accuracy in douvrmmlnn‘ temperature s through the use of a thermometer. As calves grow older, | eight to ten weeks of age, the tem-| perature may be reduced to 90 de- grees Fahrenheit, However, it is al- ways desirable to warm the liquid ra- tion slightly, even for calves six months of age. FEED COW QUITE LIBERALLY | Silage, Mangles, Rutabagas and oeher\ Root Crops—Should Have Abund- ' ance of Feed. The cow should be fed liberaliy on succulent feeds, as silage, mangles, rut- abagas or other root crops. They in- duce the cow to consume large amounts of feed, which Is desirable. Then, too, feeds of this kind are very palata- ble and easily digested. CALVES DO WELL ON PASTURE Most Economical Manner of Caring far Them, but They Must Have Ad- ditionai Attention. falves do very weil on pasture and can be cared for in this manner more economically than in any other way. Care must be taken, however, to sce tha they receive what additional care 18 necessary. The calves of today are! the herds of tomorrow. _Subscribe for The Dally Pioneer, | en are to be satisfied.

Perhaps it is the effect of gaining the suffrage, so that/they feel they must go on to wider, freer conquests, but, anyway, certain it is that the girls are getting tired of cigarettes and are turning to good old-fashiongd corncob pipes as a solace for the languors of modernity, says the Philadelphla Ledger. Sowe time ago several vouug women in New York decided that clgarettes were too expensive, and that they ought to join the great world move- ment for financial conservation by sub- stituting pipes for the more delicate joy. But at that time ordinary pipes were not tried, usually small, ladylike ones being selected. Now, however, substantial comcohs, cheap, picturesque and nonbreakable, gre the favorites. “The corncob pipe is unpretentlous, respectable and conservative,” one of the corncob devotees explained. “Many corncobs.

Capt. Harry Spencer stopped the; liner and the chief engineer examined | the starboard propeller. He toundv that one of the hlades had been torn, | bitten or blown off. Some surmised at the propeller and others sald out- right there was no doubt a steel-ent-| ing Caribbean shark had bitten off the| blade. Captain Spencer derided these the- ! ories, declaring the blade had been| blown off by the force of a subaque-| ous esrthquake, as the Calamares be- gnn rocking violently a moment after the mysterious force was first felt.| And there the matter rests. —_— Electric Air Purifier, | How many places there are where the natural air eirculation is inade- quate!

That the butterfly contains within it- self what Huxley would have called the promise and potency of the cure of tuberculosis and perhaps of other malignant plagues might seem fantas- tic proposition were it not for our memory of its antecedent, remarks the North American Review. It {s now about 55 years since Pasteur ‘perceived in the fermentation of beer and wine the principle which emboldened him to declare that we shoud one day learn to &liminate all communicable diseases from the world. Biot, Dumas and other veterans of science were incredu- lous. But crying “Travaillier! tour- Jours travailller!” the young master of them all proceeded to cure first the “sickness” of beer and wine, then the | “silkworm disease,” then a formidable poultry pestilence, then one of the deadliest plagues of cattle. . Having thus worked his way up n | the scale of life, he addressed him- self by the same methods to the salva- tlon of man from what had been re- garded as the most hopeless and hor- rible of diseases, rabies, and thus Finlay and Carrell, and to all the un- speakably beneficent wonders of the sclence: of bacterial therapeutics. If thus Pasteur found in an atom of yeast the cure for rabies, typhoid, cholera, | malaria, yellow fever, diphtheria and bubonic plague, there is no occasion for skepticism when his disciple, Metal- nikow, suggests that in the larva of | a butterfly may be found the cure Only Germs of Cholera and Meningitis Succulnb to Smoke or Juice of Nicotine. i TOBACCO USERS NOT IMMUNE 1 Professor Puntonl of the University | of Rome has performed a series of ex- 1 periments by way of determining | whether tobacco, smoked or Chewed, would act as a disinfectant against dis- ‘ ease germs. For the purpose he used Tuscany clgars, Macedonian clgur- ] ettes and “very strong chewing to- 1 bacco.” He placed a plece of paper covered with a salve which contained the germs of cholera, influenza, diph- theria, typhoid and meningitis in a glass jar and then filled the jar with smoke or covered the paper with to- baéco juice, says New York Evening! Post. & He has arrived at the depressing con- | clusion that, except in the ¢ase of | cholera and meningitls, tobacco is pow- | erless in the presence of germs. As to typhoid and Wiphtheria, he exposed the } bacilll to ghe strongest of smoke from and they were as robust at the end of the experlment as at the beginning. As to tuberculosis, Professor Pun- tonl says that the most inveterate smoker or chewer can hope for no pro- tection from his Indulgence.

Motion Pictures in Java. The motion picture business in Java appears to be expanding rapidly, ac- cording td the American consul at Ba- tavin, American pictures are incréas- ingly popular; the types best liked are big features, comedy, news and travel films. No film of less than five reels makes a great success. The pictures which attract the native audiences are those” of the “action and adventure type, while the European and Amerl- can audiences usually prefer well- acted drama of the type most popular in America.

This period is reckoned at present from the For years it was the accepted opin- ion that this conjunction of the rising of the dog-star and the sun was one of the causes for the extreme heat of the suymmer. This conjunction, how- ever, does not occur at the same time in all latitudes, nor is it constant in the same region for a long period; hence there is_much variation as to the limits of the dog-star period. It i3 a mere coincidence that the rising of Sirius and the sun occurs during the hottest season of the year just now. In time, astronomers say, it will take place in the midst of win- ter. Sirius is called the dog-star because it is the brightest lumitary in the con- stellation “canis major” or Greater [Take “Movies” Seriously. Moving pictures are a marvel to the South Sea islanders, according to a recently returned visitor to that por-, tion of the globe.
