C., Aug. 25.—The the proper care of according to the Washington, | three “cs | milk | dis | De i o in the home, ¥ sperialists of the United States partment of Agriculture, are: milk clean, keep milk keep milk covered.

The consumer’'s responsi- begins the moment the milk is delivered at his doorstep. Because milk poured from vessel to on the street is very liable to contamination from dust, manure par- ticles and germs, milk is best deliv- ered in capped bottles, If bottled milk can not be obtained, the house- wife should try to have someone in the family receive the milk in a clean, scalded utensil, cover it instantly, and put it without delay into the refriger- ator, or the coldest available place. Under no circumstance should an un- covered pitcher, bowl or pan be left out on the porch to receive bulk milk. The vessel, both before and after the milk is poured into It, is accessible to flies and collects particles of dust and dirt Even in the case of bottled milk, however, the consumer must see that the bottle is not left in the heat for a moment longer than is necessary. Milk should be delivered and kept at a temperature of degrees F. or lower—tha colder the better. At such temperatures bacteria develop very slowly and milk undergoes little change until consumed. A slight rise in temperature above this point, how- ever, peseits bacteria to multiply rap- idly and brings about rapid deteriora- tion of the milk, which may render it unfit for ordinary use and make it highly dangerous for babies and li‘tle children. For this reason bottled or other milk should not be allowed to remain in a warm place. as on a sun- ny porch or in a hot kitchen, for a moment longer than is necessary. Delivery of Milk in Hot Weather. In hot weather the best plan is ‘o have the milkman put the milk di- rectly into the refrigerator, because at that time of year mlik can not be kent properly without ice. If a refriger- ator is not available, provide a small box containing ice, and if ice is un- obtainable, provide some tight con- tainer with insulated walls that keep the heat from getting rapldly to the cold milk. A homemade fireless coolk er is admirable for this purpose, es- pecially if partially flled with ice. In the absence of any of these devices, arrange with the milkman not to leave the milk in the sunlight, but to put it in the coolest, shadiest place around the houee. Handling Milk in the Home. In handling milk around the home, do not pour it from one vessel to an- other untll it is to be consumed. Do not let the bottle of milk remain out of the refrigerator a moment longer than is necessary. Keep the milk covered, using paper caps or an in- verted tumbler on bottles, or storing it in covered utensils. Any household utensil that is to be used as a vessel for keeping milk should first *be cleaned thoroughly and scalded. Before opening a hottle of milk, wash and wipe the neck and outside of the cap with water and clean three dealer, the firs clean through producer, the T | rt, [ a fiiciently severe the plant is likely have lon;, naked stalks and short tems to the flowers.

Washington, Aug. 25.—Under Wilson administration the south has experienced the most profitable re- vival of diversified agriculture in its history and through it was enabled largely to sweep aside the panic in cot- sult of the European war. That a critical situation was averted is due to the work of the department of agri- culture’s demonstrators and country agents who have devoteq themselves to showing the benefit that will fol- low a less exclusive concentration upon cotton. During the crisis of 1914, when cotton was selling at ruin- ous prices and the south appeared to be threatened with economic disaster, a serles of special circulars was is- sued telling in the simplest possible Wway the steps the farmer should take to ensure an adequate supply of food at least for his family. Through the office of information these were pub- lished in hundreds of the smaller pa- pers In the south. They have hgen accompanied and followed by a cam- paign of education in which the serv- ices of bankers and merchants, as well as of agriculturists, have been en listed for “‘safe farming.” That these efforts have borne fruit is indicated by the fact that in the cotton states the production of oats in 1915 was 53,000,000 bushels more than in 1914, an increase of more than fifty per cent. in one year. At the same time the production of hay rose from 4,577,000 tons to 6,269.000, and corn leaped from 610,851,000 to 812,- 885,000 bushels. There was also a gain of nearly 4,000,000 bushels in the wheat crop. Perhaps the most strik- ing instance in the change in southern agriculture, however, is the introduc- the ordinary servant the task of caring for or preparing the milk for her | tion of crimson clover into Alabama. Despite the value of this legume as & Eiforts of Officials Have Averted | In a philanthropic effort to alleviate the lot of the poor children of New York city, menaced by hot weather and the terrors of infantile paralysis, a number of soclety women have | volunteered hospital social service to take the little ones out on motor trips.
