By JOHN A. AREY The best way to cream the profits from a home milk business is to skim off the lazy practices of not properly caring for your product the milk. Farmers who keep a cow or several cows might tack on the wall of the barn following list of rules to be observed in managing cows and milk: Milk clean, healthy cows in a clean, place. Use a partly well-ventilat- ed small-to- p milk bucket. No rough edges or rusty spots. Milk with clean, dry hands. Take the milk from the stable or cow shed as soon as youve finished, strain and cool the milk. Set the fresh milk in a cool, airy place. Set pans or cans of milk in cold fresh water to cool it quickly and thoroughly. Stir water often about every 10 minutes at first less later on. Keep milk and cream in a place free from insects, rats, dirt, dust and odors. Dont add warm milk or cream to cold milk or cream, unless you want to speed up souring.

The superphosphate not only prevents nitrogen loss in the manure, but adds another important plant food element phosphorus an element that is lacking in all manures. Methods of applying it may vary according to farm conditions, says a statement of the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee, but perhaps the simplest way is to scatter one or two pounds of superphosphate per animal per day in the gutter or trough where manure is collected. By this means the superphosphate is evenly distributed through the mixture. i. REWARD: Slaying Suspect For the first time since the slayings of German soldiers of occupation started in France, the German authorities named a murder suspect, identified him, and offered unusual rewards for his capture. The name, oddly of German sound and spelling, was that of Gilbert Brustlein, 22, and he had been described as an exceptional dangerous evildoer. Any informant of his whereabouts was offered not only large sums of money, but also the Nazis offered to set free any prisoner of war that the informant might name. Brustlein, it had been was the man responsible reported, for the killing of Lieut. Col. Paul Friedrich Hotz, German commandant of the district of Nantes. (Consolidate!) Features "EW WNU Service.)

Paul Van Zeeland, former premier of Belgium, is one of them. He sees a world of decentralized power after the war, with small, autonomous states of economic and political groupco- ings, associated in regional llaboration diverse enough to allow a localization of function in world economy and compact enough to form a stable political equilibrium. He presented his plan to the New York conference of the International Labor organization, and, simultane ously, there issued from the con ference a proposal for a bloc of nations, comprising Poland, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and Greece, for post-wrebuilding and for collective defense. ar Mr. M.

Also the unpreparedness of the Nazis for winter warfare was described as most desperate, and it was recounted that prisoners had been taken wearing womens fur coats. j A Daniel Brigham dispatch to the Times from Bern stated that one Red outfit finally had been equipped with automatic entirely rifles (whether Garands or not could not be learned) and that in the Kalinin district this organization had dealt a crushing blow to the Nazis. London had reported an effort on the part of the Germans with heavy mechanized forces to cut the railway line between Rostov and Moscow, and that the air force also was heavily involved.

In the attic the memories will lie dormant until there comes a moving day. When that tinte comes, its treasures will be revealed and the problem of disposing of those treasures will be a serious one. There will be found the crib and high chair the babies used years ago. Those babies are now grown to men and women. They have homes and families of their own in y What memories places. of their days of babyhood the days when the home echoed the happy prattle of little children those simfurniture ple bits of bring back. There can be no more babies to use them, but it is hard to let them go. In a litter of the attic are found the school and college dance programs of the daughter. Written on them are the names of boys, many of whom we have long forgotten, but those names recall memories of hopes for the daughters future, of evenings when one or another called and Ma and I retired from the parlor or living room and watched the clock for the appropriate hour for the young mans departure. Ransacking the attic gives one an opportunity to live over again those cherished days of the long ago. You dig out of the clutter the uniform you wore as a soldier before the turn of the century and with it the sword that was your badge of office. They remind you of the comrades of those soldier days. Then you find Mas wedding dress and hat and marvel at the style and size of the dress. You recall incidents of that happy day when you took her from the home in the little Iowa town to a new home in the city. You recall those who were present at the wedding ceremony. Most of them you have not heard of for years and you wonder at what changes life may have brought to them, what success or failure may have been their lot. These are but typical of the thousands of incidents the contents of the attic will bring back to you. Each item, as you dig it out of the accumulation, presents a problem. Can you discard it? Can you throw away the old lamp beside which you spent so many pleasant evenings? Should you not keep the old and badly worn quilt your mother and quilted so many, pieced many years ago? There are the pictures of friends of the long ago, some of which are now hard to recall, but when you do, they live again. Should you not keep each and every one of them, as well as the thousands of letters you spend lours and days rereading? Yes, the attic is a storehouse of memories. A storehouse that offers more problems when you move than does all the rest of the house together. In the end you keep much of it to be stored away in another attic that becomes another storehouse of memories and presents other problems should you ever move again. well-order- By LEMUEL F.
