Level-Heade- st 1747 Erected by John Paul Juneor - v . have provided for enormous Increase of bacteria in a very short time under summer temperatures. Conditions that would permit milk to remain sweet for 24 hours in the winter time will result in milk turning sour in 12 hours in the summer time. In the winter time a poorly washed can would Infect the milk and result lu time in souring it. The multiplication of the germs would be very slow, how-- ' ever, and most of the milk would be used up before it had had time to sour. In the summer it is necessary that excessive care be taken in tbe washing of the milk vessels. They should be first washed and rinsed in cold water, which washing will remove most of the casein' from the sides of the vessels. If hot water is used flrBt it will result In coagulating the casein, and the latter will stick to the sides and seams. At ordinary temperatures it Is the butter fat that sticks to the sides. Therefore it is reasonable, after the casein has beem rinsed out, to detach the fat by the, use of boiling water. In cases where-thvessels of tin are not new, soda, should be used in each can, as this will combine with the casein. It should be mqde certain that the water, le boiling hot and that it remains long enough in the cans to destroy all germ life. This may be assured by cover-- ! ing the cans, as by this means the' heat will be retained for a long time.! Merely pouring hot water into tbel cans and pouring it out again will generally remove the traces of butter, fat, but will not necessarily destroy all germ life. After the hot water baa been poured from the cans, they should be again rinsed In cold water and then sunned. This sunning is very important, and is made much of by the condensing companies. They prescribe rules that must be followed by the men that supply them with, milk, and one of these rules is that! in summer time these cans must be! exposed for hours to tbe penetrating rays of the sun. If one will, in go through a dairy region, that is engaged particularly In supplying milk to the large condensers, he will see everywhere row of cans oni racks and scaffolds so placed that the) suns rays will enter the Interiors., The sunlight la germicidal in its ef-- ; fects. Cleanliness is the first requis--, ite of milk keeping. The second is cold. The milk should be cooled as quickly as possible, and to as low a. temperature as possible, and placed Ua a room or In water that Is cold. These, simple principles lie at the bottom of , keeping milk in summer. Drinking Places in the Cow Pasture. Cows are animals that seem to prefer dirty water to clean. The cow Is. the only farm animal that will drink' warm water from mud puddles In preference to cool water from water-Ing troughs. It Is therefore necessary,; If we desire the cow to drink pure; water, to deprive her of sources of, supply of Impure water. The obnoxious weeds that surround the drink-- ! ing places in the cow pastures are1 frequently the source of taints In milk, especially when such weeds In- -, dude garlic and wild onionR. The; elimination of these polluted drinking places la the pastures a ill to a very' large extent take away from the cow the Inducement to sample these ob- -' noxious weeds. It Is always desir-- . able to give the cow only pure water,-aIn many cases the stagnant water In the pastures is a source of contain-- , inatlon to the milk supply. Here and there are eases of strlnginesg or ropiness tn milk. On investigation It has been found that this abnormal condition of the milk was produced by mi- -' nute fungi, which were found to thrive in stagnant pools. Some scientists say that the spores of the fungi pass through the cow and into the milk, ducts, while others declare that the' udders of the cow come into contact with the stagnant pools and that from the outside of these udders the spores fall Into the milk pails when the milk Is being drawn. By whichever way tbe spores reached the milk Is of no, particular Interest. As the stagnant water was the source of contamination In either case, the prevention of such accidents requires the elimina- tion in the pastures of all such drinking places.

The sire for the Improving of the dairy herd is the bull that has had great female ancestors, Judged from the standpoint. Not till recent years has a milk record been kept of cows, and so it has been difficult to get the information of the milking qualities of milk-givin- g ths dams of tbe males we wish to -- buy, but In the future the information will be more easily obtained on account of the records that fire now being kept The dairy sire should be well known by the performances of his ancestors before he Is used on ths herd.
