MILKING MACHINE ' NEEDS CLEANING Absolute Sanitation Necessary to Keep Out Bacteria. Equipment to clean the milking machine is as essential for successful operation as is the vacuum pump, according to James D. Brew, of the New York State College of Agriculture. Bacteria get into milk largely from unclean utensils, but with the proper equipment a milking machine may be cleaned as efficiently as a milk pail and with a little more work. After every milking period, draw through each unit at least a gallon of clean cold water, lifting the test cups up and down in order to allow the water and air to rush alternately through the rubber parts Into the pail. Do this immediately after milking because to allow the units to stand even for a short time permits the milk to dry, makes the machine more difficult to clean, and increases the possibility of excessive bacterial growth. Follow the cold water at once by drawing through each unit at least one gallon of scalding water; the hotter the better. A handful of good washing powder increases the efficiency of the hot water. It is this water which removes the grease-like material that collects on the surfaces of milk utensils. This grease-like material furnishes food for bacterial growth, and if It is not removed it renders any attempt to sterilize of little or no value. A fresh supply of cold and hot water should be used for each of the three rinsings. Scrub the metal and rubber parts of the machine with brushes after each use. The rubber parts may be disinfected either by immersion in water which is then heated to at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit and allowed to stand, covered until the next milking period, or by immersion in a hypochlorite solution. Complete information on cleaning milking machines may be obtained from the office of publication, State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y„ by requesting Bulletin E 43 on “Directions for Cleaning and Care of Milking Machines.” Source of Ropy Milk Is Traced to Impure Water Too often the water supply on many of our dairy farms consists of stagnant pools and marshy creeks, which are not only a source of supply likely to limit the daily consumption but may also be the cause of ropy milk. The ropy milk bacteria are found in stagnant water, ami cows wading through such plawW collect dirt on their udder and flanks which falls into the pail at milking time. Here, conditions are ideal for bacteria to grow and multiply, and in a few hours the milk exhibits a ropy appearance. Cows watered from a trough or tank, on the other hand, avoid dirt and there is less danger of contaminating the milk. Naturally cows in milk have need for more water than dry stock and young stock, but these, too, need a regular supply, and more in hot weather. The water supply in outlying pastures should be inspected at regular intervals. Water is just as necessary for body functions as food. In fact animals can survive longer without food than they can without water. The summer water supply on the dairy farm is of first importance and needs to be well looked after. Fallacies in Feeding Cause Low Production Some men feel that only cows with high production records will pay for care and attention to proper feeding. This is one .of the fallacies in feeding which is responsible for the small improvement that is made in the average rations fed to dairy cows. It is true that poor cows will not pay returns on exceedingly high-priced feeds when butterfat prices are low. On the other hand the increased production of average cows will usually pay good returns on the additional feeds that are required to balance up the ration properly. Men who continue to follow the idea of giving their cows a poor ration try to console themselves with the fallancy that while their cows are less productive, it does not cost so much to feed |hem and therefore the net returns:'are greater. Accurate records kept on lowa farms by cow testing associations prove that the herds which coSt the least for feed are usually not the most profitable. The reason is apparent, as cows In such herds do not receive enough feed in addition to what they require for maintenance, to produce to their maximum capacity. Feed for Calf x—— If possible the calf should be left with its mother two or three days so it may have the colostrum or first milk. The next two weeks it should receive only its mother’s milk at the rate of twelve pounds of milk per day for one hundred pounds live weight of the calf. The calf will do much better if this milk is fed in three feedings than if fed twice a day. After two weeks a gradual change can be made until it is receiving the same amount of mixed milk from the herd. Grinding Dairy Feed For feeding dairy cattle, the grinding of a roughage will not increase its digestibility nor its value as a feed. Grinding coarse feeds may reduce waste by eliminating the coarse parts of the feed. When feed is high in price, grinding may prove advantageous, but grinding coarse feed will not make the feed into a concentrated feed. Neither will grinding dry, coarse roughage make the feed as good as when put in the silo at the proper tin> '

By W. A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer Questions and o give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to practical home building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as editor, author and manufacturer, he is. without doubt, the highest autnority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 407 South Dearborn Street, Chicago. 111., and only inclose two-cent stamp for reply. When city builders devised the apartment building to provide for several families on one building site, the fact that all rooms of the home were on one floor made a very pronounced impression on housekeepers. There were no stairs to climb and the rooms were arranged in a manner so that work could be done with the least amount of effort. It was because of the popularity of the city apartment that architects designed what is now known as the bungalow house. In the bungalow as in the apartment all of the rooms are on one floor and are arranged so that the housework is simplified. Shown in the accompanying illustration is a design for a shingled bungalow that is most effective. The un-

Stippled Wall Modern Method of Decorating How many housewives face house cleaning season with the wish: “If only I could think of some way to renovate these old walls!” Various paints, papers and fabrics may have been used, one after another, when something novel but not too expensive is wanted. Today the tendency in wall-treat-ment is toward stippled, palm-finished, texture-and-glazed, “antiqued” and other rough-surfaced effects for walls and ceilings. These can be produced with sand-floated or lime-putty-fin-ished gypsum plaster. But what is wanted is a material that will give these effects without replastering, over old walls, that is washable and possible for the housewife herself, or her husband, to apply. There are several materials available which meet these specifications. They are paints which come as d'y white powders which, when mixed witl) water, become plastic. Then dry pigment or oil paint of any desired hue or shade or tint Is stirred in. and the material Is brushed onto the wall. But, while flat wall paints and calcimines are liquid, these materials have body. So, before they dry, these can be stippled with an ordinary stippling brush, or given a scroll texture w th the fingertips, or a palm finish can be produced with the palm of the hand, or the brush, putty-knife or even the heel of a kitchen spoon to produce any distinctive texture that may be wanted. If one of these plastic paints is to be applied over new plaster or willboard, it is best to size the surface first with a good grade of varnish size. If it is to be put onto old papered walls, the paper should be removed first; cracks should be patched and the sizing brushed onto the w ills when they are dry. Where it Is desired to make the walls washable, a final coat of size should be added to the outside of the decorated surface. Then soap and

have body.

Chimney Must Be High Enough to Draw Well Fireplaces that do not draw well may not be in fault themselves but may be suffering from a poorly built chimney. If the top of the chimney is lower than the highest ridge of the roof, or if it is near to a much taller tree or house wall, air currents that should lift out the smoke from the chimney may instead be forced down the chimney and puff smoke out into the room. It is impossible to give absolute rules as to the height of a Chimney, but the minimum height is 3 feet above a flat roof and 2 feet above the highest ridge pole of a sloping roof. This will not be enough, however, in case the chimney is near tall buildings or trees. Sometimes it is necessary to add as many as 8 feet to a chimney in order to get th£ top of it above unfavorable air currehts. • Sometimes chimneys that draw badly can be helped with some sort of topping that will prevent wind from blowing down the chimney and will force the smoke out sideways. The

usual lines of the gable and the porch roof and the well-balanced windows make the exterior attractive. This house is 24 feet by 34 feet and is of frame construction set on a concrete foundation. It contains five rooms—living room, dining room and kitchen on one side and two bedrooms with a bath between on the other. The gables set in the roof are high enough for a great amount of attic space which through the use of socalled wall boards or insulating boards can be partitioned off into a playroom or bedrooms that will be available when needed. The floor plan which accompanies the exterior view of the house shows the arrangement of the rooms and their sizes. It will be noted that th' three rooms which are used in the daytime are together and are separate from the bedrooms. The bathroom is located in the center of the house and opens off a hall which connects the two bedrooms. This hall is reached by a door through the dining room. An unusual feature -of this home is the bedroom at the front. This is an unusually attractive room having five windows.

water will not affect either the texture or the color of the plastic decoration. The variety of texture-tone combinations possible with such materials is limited only by the imagination and skill of the decorator. They also lend themselves to “two-toning,” glazing and similar rich effects. Check Losses of Heat Through Room Ceilings Engineers have found that 62 per cent of the heat escaping from houses leaves through the roof or top story ceiling. That is where the great heat losses occur in winter, and where the excess heat of summer penetrates to make upstairs rooms unbearably hot. The roof is the place that is cheating home owners of comfort and of fuel money every year. It is only necessary to hold one’s hand over a hot radiator to establish the fact that heated air rises, and as this heated air strikes the ceiling it transmits its heat on through to the attic. Because the heated air is always found at the ceiling line the temperature difference between the outside and the inside is greater than along the walls. And this temperature difference Is the factor governs heat losses. k Furthermore, there is less resists ance to the flow of heat at the line than in the walls, for only a thin layer of plaster separates top floor rooms from the attic, and above this there is little to stop beat from escaping. In many otherwise wellbuilt houses >na can actually see daylight through the spaces between rafters at the eave line in the attic. It Is very difficult to mafc.e construction tight at this point, and when winter comes the cold air enters through these openings and the heat created at great expense is lost. Not only does hear pass through openings, it penetrates readily the layer of shingles and roof boards, which offer only a meager bar to its passage, and seeps out over the whole roof surface.

most picturesque of these toppings are made of terracotta tile, in an arched shape. Stone caps are sometimes used, and of course, metal ones that are more efficient looking than' picturesque. Good-Looking Sidewalls and Roof Are Important Every home is more or less beauti—i ful while the materials are new and j paint is fresh. Too many soon look shabby and need continued repainting. The condition of sidewalls usually determines the appearance of a home. Then, too, nothing is shabbier than a cheap-looking or dingy roof. Stained shingles laid over old sidewalls cost less than two good paint jobs. Color Schemes in Homes Woods vary in shade from light to dark brown or red. The color scheme of the room should be kept in similar tones or warm colors. Contrasting colors can then be used in some of the furnishings to give the room animation.
