Summer Cere of Milk and Cream. Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper Bulletin No. 85, June 14. 1WU.) The souring of milk is due to bacteria. These bacteria are minute forms of plant life* and like corn or any higher plant their life depends on temperature, food, and moisture. Milk is a perfect food for these bacteria, which are common in the air of the milk-room and cow stable as well as on the cow and the hands of the milker. It contains the food and moisture and summer weather furnishes the most desirable temperature for their rapid growth, -The care of the milk then should be such as, first, to prevent as far as possible the entrance of these germs, secondly, to retard the growth of those which do gain access to the milk. The body of the cow, the hands of the milker, the air, and the seams of the pail and other milk utensils are the common sources of infection. In the summer time, the Hanks of the cow are usually free from manure, but her hair is well filled with dust, especially if the pasture borders a much traveled road. Frequently the cow wades in ponds and streams and the udder gets coated with mud which dries on. At milking time, the milker gives the udder and teats a few strokes with his bare hand before milking. The motion of milking shakes a shower of bacteria laden dust into the milk. If the piilker wet his hands with a stream of milk, this farther softens the dirt on the teats and his hands and the dirty milk drips into the pail, carrying a great many bacteria with it. To avoid this contamination, the udder and surrounding parts should be wiped off with a damp cloth; this not only removes much of the dirt and bacteria, but leaves the hair damp, so that what remains does not fall off readily. The milker should wash his hands thoroughly and then milk with

dry hands. The Illinois Experiment Station finds that -4he number of bacteria which fall into the milk from an apparently clean, but unwashed udder is 2020, as compared with 00, when the udder has been washed just before milking', s In spite of the best efforts, some ‘ bacteria will get into the milk: this makes it necessary to cool the milk as quickly as possible to *>0 degrees or below. Professor Fraser said, before the Indiana State Dairy Association, that at a temperature of 03 degrees, germs common to milk, multiply two hundred fold in one hour, while at 55 degrees only eight fold, and at 45 degrees are practically iuactive. The most ecomanj^cal way to secure this cooling is with sO-cailed “shot gun” cans, (abdut eight inches in diameter and 22 inches deep, costing 00 to To cents each), in cold water, usingice if possible: if not, use cold well water. In the latter case it is well to v change the water in a couple of hours. These cans may be set in any box, vat, tank or barrel, which will surround them with water, as high up as the milk comes. At the end of 12 hours, if the cans and vats are needed, the cream may be dipped off with a cup, or better a conical skimmer; if not needed, more thorough creaming will be secured if allowed to stapd 24 hours. 11 The “cream can” should also be kept in the cc>ld water until enough cream is secured .for a churning. It should be thoroughly stirred when fresh cream is added, and none should be put in for 24 hours before churning. During this time the cream should warm up to about 05 degrees to ripen for churning. Three hours before churning, it may be cooled down to 55 or 58 degrees. This will make the butter “come” harder than if churned immediately after reaching the churning temperature. H. E. VanNorman, - Dairy Assistant.

Washington Notes. If we haven’t a sufficient number of ■ troops in the Phillipines to keep the Filipinos in subjection, how are we going to be able to send a lot of them to China to help the Europeans whip the Chinese “boxers” into subjection? That is the problem which now confronts Mr. McKinley and his cabinet. And after this government helps the European government what will come next?. That is the problem which may, in the very near future confront the American people. Are we ready to assume any new responsibilities for the government of more Asiatics? Have we not already more of that sort of thing than is desirable? He is a very gullible chap indeed, who will be convinced by the number of national banks organized under the single gold standard law, enacted by the republican congress, that the new law is a good thing. Hut that seems to be the republican idea. Periodically since the law went into effect. Comptroller Dawes has given the press a statement showing the number of banks, etc. He says that .'itii applications have been made and 159 authorized to organize, with a total capital of 18,645,000, and that the increase in national bank note circulation has been $51,997,910. A Careful and correct statement of the condition of these new banks a year or two from now wiJJ be much more important than the figures now given out. The administration was greatly chagrined by the indifference of the people of Washington towards Gen. E. S. Otis and took especial pains to add attractions to the reception given him by the people of Rochester, N.Y., his home city. Secretary Long sent the full Marine Band, at public expense, and Secretary Root virtually ordered General Joe Wheeler, now an unassigned brigadier-general in the regular army, to go to Rochester to help add enthusiasm to the occasion. Mr.

McKinley has been made to realise, by the indifference of the public toward General Otis, how unpopular his Philippine policy is with the people, and with the realization has come alarm. He knows that the people know that the responsibility for putting Otis iu command in the Philippines, and keeping him in command after his unlitness for the position had been shown up, belongs to William McKinley, and he fears that the people will be as indifferent towards him on election day as they have shown themselves to be towards Otis now. The spectre of doubt has become Mr. McKinley's constant comuanion. Senor Nicholas Rivero, editor of one of the leading Havana papers, who has been in Washington a few days, thinks there has been wrongdoing in other branches of the Cuban government as well as in the postottice branch. He gave the senate committee a pointer that should not be overlooked when he said: "1 wish we could have a thorough investigation of the expenditures of money on sanitary and engineering works. Such an investigation might reveal some interesting facets. The reports of fraud in connection with these works are very persistent in Havana, and investigation might show that a great deal of Cuban money has been improperly expended.” Admiral Dewey has fouud out that he was never in the running as a candidate for president,and has scratched his name off the entries to the race. | In reply to a direct question as to whether he would accept the nomina-, tion for vice-president on the Bryari ticket, the admiral said: “I have never contemplated being a candidate for vice-president. I am not a candidate for nomination to that office and would not accept the nomination if i|. were offered to me. That is plain English.” The democratic congressional campaign committee is sending out a list of trust-controlled goods, which have been, as a result raised in price; also a table showing that the farmers of the couptry are paying one-third more for everything they consume than they were paying when the republican administration assumed power, while they have lost since March 4,1891, by the decline of prices in farm products the enormous sum of $2,000,000,000.

He Fooled the Surgeons. All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O., after suffering 18 months from Rectal Fistual, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured himself with five boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, the surest pile cure on earth, and the best salve in the world. 25 cents a box. Sold by Stearnes’ drug company. At an informal meeting of a number of business men and citizens held Tuesday ‘night it was decided to make an effort to effect an organization for the purpose of sinking oue of more gas wells in this vicininty. The proposition is meeting with much favor and there is a strong probability that a drill will be going down in a few months.—Huntingburg News.

There were present about half the republicans of the township. W. O.l Lindsay acted as chairman. The committee on resolutions praised the acts of the administration in protecting everything, and Governor Mount in protecting Taylor and Finley, fugitives from justice from Kentucky laws'. The convention was not very enthusiastic, especially after the nominations. The following gentlemen were nominated for the several positions: For trustee-William J. Phillips. For assessor -Joseph Higgins. For advisory board—James R. Brentoh. William P. Campbell and W. O. Lindsay. For supervisors— District No. 1. John Sampson: No. ro. M. Colvin: No. 3. H. N. Beck; No. 4. John S. Lindsay. For justices of the peace -J. F. Waglpv and George Traylor. For constables—C. N. Deffendall and Sant Dunn. . • 8 The, vote on trustee was W. W. Colvin, 5; Dr. J. W. Coleman, 4t>; W. J. Phillips, 57. Only one ballot was taken. For assessor Higgins was nominated on the first ballot, receiving 82votes to Colvin’s 31. There is a big split among the g. o. p. in Clay town* ship. *ir A Preacher of Waterloo, Ind., llev. S. P. Klotz, writes: “I have been afflicted over 20 years with dyspepsia or sour stomach.

He was laid'in the Stilwell cemetery in Pikeville to rest till all the nations of the earth are called forth to be judgdfl according to their works. The deceased leaves a wife, two children, two step-children and two brothers—S. M. Robinson of near Pikeville, and one somewhere in Kentucky. The community at large sympathizes with the bereaved ones. —Velpen item.

A Noted Doctor once said “most women lose their freshness and good looks much earlier in life than necessary because of inattention to natures requirements. Because of their peculiar habits all should make a practice of using some simple laxative.* There is no laxative so simple, so pleasant to take and yet so potent as Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin.
