Whether you are reckoning with the clothes problem from any one or all three angles, there's nothing so practical as to plan in terms of interchangeable separate pieces.

Lockport, I1L COMING EVENTS J*n. 17 May Use Double Boiler For Cream Pasteurization Cream may be pasteurized in a touble boiler. Place the cream container in 'a pail of water and set it on the stove, stirring the cream occasionally, until the temperature of the cream rises t<Kl45 degrees. The standard practic^is to maintain this temperature for 30 minutes. A short* er method is to use 170 degrees F, for 10 minutes. After pasteurization the cream should^be quickly cooled in cold or ice water to 50 degrees F. or lower and held at that temperakire for at least three hours before churning. Some people prefer to hold the cream overnight at thet. churning temperature. The pasteur-*.^ ization of cream destroys the bacteria and enzymes Which might lat-1 er cause deterioration of the butter flavor. Low temperature refrigeration, of course, is best for long time butter storage. Zero storage is used by cprfimercial operators. Cold storage lockers, likewise, are ideal. Where | such storage is hot available, butter may be storied in salt brine. A common procedure is to wrap butter in pound prints or rolls using two parchment paper wrappers, tying the outer wrapper with a string. These prints or rolls are then sub- • merged in a strong salt brine made! of boiled water by adding salt at the rate of one pound of salt in four pounds of water. The butter is carefully packed into a crock, weighted down with a plate or clean, harc( wood rack and a, stone. The brine is then poured in to cover the butter. >Automatic Bale Loader Hay harvest, from cutting to stof* ing the baled product, has become almost an automatic process, with machinery so well doing most of the labor that women can replace men in haying and baling. Mowers long have been used to cut liay and leave it in windrows;-balersiffif pick the hay up in the windrows, bale it and dump it in the field, have been in use for some time. Now is announced by the agricultural engineering division of the College of Agriculture on the Davis campus of the University of California a homemade bale loader that will pick the bales up from the ground, carry them up into the truck and dump them there. The loader obviates the necessity of men picking up bales and lifting them into the trucks. In fact, say the agricultural engineers, the work ,is so light that aside from unloading the bales from the trucks and stori n g t h e m , w o m e n c a n d o a l l t h e w o r k j in the hay harvest field.

One experiment consisted of dropping a "huge black object" near the outstretched hand of the subject and measuring certain reactions such as change in pulse rate, involuntary movement of the hand, electrical resistance of the skin, and rate of breathing. It was thought that the involuntary impulse to avoid a painful blow has a biological origin which is not related to cultural and environmental factors. Change of electrical resistance of the skin and the movement of the hand were the reactions in which the mongoloid races differed most frequently from the Caucasian. Change of the pulse-rate is chief in differentiating the two Oriental nationalities. The Japanese reaction is, on the whole, in somewhat sharper contrast to the Caucasian than is that of the Chinese. The Chinese reaction, while clearly distinct from the Caucasian, is not quite so markedly distinct from it as the Japanese j«#ction. .
