ACTERIA io larger or smaller numbers are always present in freshly drawn milk. At temperatures between 80 deg. F. and 98 deg! F. (blood heat) they grow and multiply rapidly, causing the milk to become quickly spoiled. As the temperature falls below 60 deg. 9., the bacteria become less active, the changes caused by them are less marked, so the milk keeps sweet and in good condition for a longer time. - + Growth of bacteria in milk In 24 hours (136,000 per c.c. when freshly ny: we Bacteria Per C.C, (20 drops) after 24 hours, held.

This is the scien- tific fact upon which the practice of milk cooling {8 founded. In practice a dairyman should bear in mind three things in connection with the cooling of milk. First-- cool milk with as little delay as pos- sible after it comes from the row. Second---cool milk to as low a tem- perature as possible, say somewhere between 40 deg. F. and 50' deg. F. Third--cool milk with as little con- tamination as possible from outside sources, such as dust, dirty utensils, water splashings, ete. If these three points were regulariy attended to by all dairies a marked improvement in the general quality of our milk sup- plies would be noticeable right away. The quickest way to cool milk is to run it over some form of tubular or surface cooler, pail by pail, im- mediately it is drawn from the cow. In this way milk may be rapidly cooled to within two or three degrees of the temperature of the water used. The objections to this method are the extra work involved in washing the cooler twice a day, the difficulty of keeping it properly clean, and 'the danger of contaminating the milk with dust, barn odours, etc., unless the cooler is used in a clean and separate milk room. The other alternative is to place the cans of milk in a tank of runnise cold water at the earliest opportunity, or in an insulated tank of water into which some chopped-up ice is thrown. If the milk is stirred once every ten minutes during the first hour, cool- ing will take place more rapidly than where milk is left unstirred. If cold running water is not available all summer, enough ice should be put up during the winter to ensure the milk being brought to a sufficiently low temperature during the warmer portions of the year. The importance of prompt and thorough cooling of milk is still in- sufficiently appreciated by many milk producers. There is no cheaper und simpler method by which milk quale ity may be improved.--T. H. Lund; B.S.A., 0. A. College, Guelph, Making . the Farm Spring More Serviceable. ortunately a great many farmers of Canada can boast of a good spring of water on their farms. In some cases it is the only reliable and pe- rennial squrce of water, and when this is the dase it usually receives proper care. Probably, however, in general, the spring is a secondary consideration as a water supply, par- ticularly domestic, and consequently is let "run wild" more or less, and is not, therefore, rendering the ser- vice It might it it were properly equipped. The object of this short article is to make a few suggestions for the improvement of springs in general, 'In the iret place the spring should bb enlarged, deepened and cleaned out wéll and then cribbed up in some efficient way. Probably the best method is to get a large concrete or sewer pipe tile or two, about 234 feet In diameter, and put them down in the spring, cementing the: joints well. Put an overflow pipe through the wall of the upper tile close to the high water mark of the spring, and connect the overflow pipe to a tile drain that leads down to a good. outlet some distance away. If it is not connected to a drain the open end should be screened. If the spring be in the pasture it should be fene- ed in and the overflow referred to extended horizontally to a troug) outside the fence. The top shoul be provided with a tight cover made of concrete or heavy plank, The spring becom ) , afters ; on which. the Real of humble benefactors. > gratitude 1s never ashamed | OLD TRADER PASSES. Alexander Mackenzie Formed Link to the Past, The name of Alexander Mackenzie leads all the rest in the history of Canada's northland, The great ex- plorer and fur trader, who in the closing years of the eighteenth cen- tury journeyed first to the Arctic and then to the Pagific, and who is con- stantly re¢alied to us by the Mac- kenzie river, received world-wide re- cognition for his achievements. Napoleon Bonaparte was among thdse most profoundly impressed by the importaéee. of his work of ex- ploration, But there has been another Alex- ander Mackenzie in recent yéars, whose name and fame counted for much in the northland itself, though he was practically unknown to the outside world. He died on Jan. 15 last, at Peace River, Alberta, in his 78th year. He was a native of the Province of Quebec, and after being educated in Scotland, entered the ser- vice of the Hudson Bay Company in A863, For forty years he was one of its officers, serving it with much dis- tinction at many different posts all along the Mackenzie and its tribu- taries. Fifteen years ago he was pensioned and has since made his home six miles below the town of Peace River, near the point where the Peace is joined by the Smoky. The ruins of one of the oldest posts of the company are adjacent to his farm, Since settlers began to arrive in large numbers in the Peace River country and the railway was built the romantic aspect of the fur trade has largely disappeared. Mr. Mackenzie wag to a unique degree a link with the old days. In winter time be always wore what was at the time he entered .the employ of the ¢om- pany the distinctive costume of the trader. A photograph, which was found on his body at his death, the only one copy, it is believed, being in existence, shows him%¥h that costume. From it asperson can easily appre- ciate how! picturesque a figure he was and what a source of interest he was to those whose good fortune it was to meet him. Those who have visited the town of Peace River must have been im- pressed by the great height of the river banks there. At a point 740 feet above the water there is a grave, that of "Twelve-Foot" Davis, earliest free-traders, in a fur-trading, not in a fiscal sense. Davis and Mac- kenzie were strong rivals for many years. Davis was first buried at Grouard, but his remains were afterwards taken by James K. Cornwall---a much younger free-trader, who is now the commanding officer of a railway bat- talion in France, where he has won the D.8.0, and the Croix de Guerre-- and reinterred at what was believed to be 'the highest point on the hills above Peace River. 'Over them Lt.- Col. Cornwall Subseqilently placed a monument. 'S The grave at that great height re- calls, that on the Matoppo Hills, where Cecil Rhodes rests, Cornwall, being an intense admirer of the ca- reer of Rhodes, probably had this plan of honoring the memory of his friend Davis suggested to him by the provision which the South African Empire builder made for his Anal resting place, The writer visited Peace River in the autumn of 1916, and met Mr, Mackenzie. The conversation came around to the grave of "Tv-elve-Foot" Davis, and his old-time rival then stated that he knew of a higher spot on the other side of the river, where he intended to be buried. But his grave is in Mount Pleasant Cemetery Just outside the town and, so far as his executors have learned up to the present, he made no definite request or provision to be buried on the heights. . When he turned from trading to i , he and his sons made a very eo erable success of the latter, His enterprise is shown by the fact machine into the district and the ma- chinery for the first grist mill. It is a familiar charge against old never prepared to concede the possi- bilities of agriculture in the country over which they had traded. But this could never be preferred against Mr. Mackenzie.
