It is one of the most easily contaminated by its surroundings, according to Dr. W. G. Sackett:, bacteriologist of the Colorado experiment station, who spoke to the dairy and creamery fleldmen on the harmful effects of bacteria in milk and cream. In an explanation of bow dirt gets into milk, Doctor Sackett stated that even milk coming directly from the udder of the cow is not sterile. Quality and length of time milk will remain sweet depends upon the bacterial count wbich can be kept down by sanitary conditions and cleanliness. Milk is contaminated with bacteria from dirt, hair, straw or manure falling into the milk from the cow's body or from dust settling into the milk pall. This can be lessened by currying cows to remove loose hair, wiping flanks and udder with damp cloth, the use of pails with smaller openings, and care, not to-feed cows and stir up dust in the barn just previous to milking. Cement floors and frequent cleaning of Btables are also advocated. The milkrr himself may increase the bacterial contamination of milk through lack of personal cleanliness, Doctor Sackett pointed out. He should wear dean clothing, should himself be free from disease and in perfect condition of health. One of the greatest sources of contamination fn milk is dirty, utensils. The cracks become full of dirt and filth which can be removed only by scalding with live steam or scalding hot water. Doctor Sackett showed where the bacterial count of milk In a test was increased from 5,000 per c. c. to 350,000 per c. c. merely through dirty palls, strainers, clarifier tank, clarifler, cooler and filter tanks. Strainers do not take out bacteria, but merely allow them to wash off from the strained dirt into the milk. Aeration does not lower the bacterial count except through efTect of cooling. It does remove off odors and "barny" flavors, Doctor Sackett explained. Milk kept at a temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit will remain sweet longer tha» at a high temperature. Doctor Sackett pointed out the dangers from disease like tuberculosis, septic sore throat, diptheria, typhoid fever, etc., through milk produced under unsanitary conditions. Pasteurization will kill disease-producing bacteria and Is being demanded more and more. Prevention of unsanitary conditions through cleanliness with milk products ts very desirable. A sneak thief or thieves walked into the Fred, Wilbur home at Grayslake recently and entered MJr. Wilbur's bedroom and took his trousers off a chair and rifled the pockets. That the burglary was committed by someone familiar with the lay of the house is evident. MJr. Wilbur cashed a check for $150.00 Monday afternoon, and had practically all this money in his pocketbook. The intruder was compelled to go past Mr. Wilbur's bed to get his trousers. x B. W.

Feed one pound of grain for every three and one-half to four pounds of milk produced per cow. Rules for Calf Feeding at Much Lower Expense Rules for calf raising at lower cost are given by O. J. Fawcett, extension professor of animal husbandry at Massachusetts Agricultural college: "The calf should be taken from tts dam as soon as it has a good fill of colostrum milk. Feed whole milk for 10 to 14 days, three to four quarts dally and gradually Increasing the quantity. There is no harm in a calf being slightly hungry for the first week. At two weeks, gradually substitute for the whole milk a similar quantity of skim milk made from dry skim milk and water so that in 8 or 10 days the calf will be given skim milk as its entire liquid feed, Mix one pound of dry skim milk with nine pints of water at body temper ature. When on full feed the calf will be getting about eight quart* of liquid dally in two feeds." 37 McHENRY, ILL.

Such milk when put through a strainer, will form strings several feet long. This milk is not harmful but Is bothersome, as It Is unsalable and cannot be used for any purpose except possibly swine feeding. The source of the organism is thought to be surface water and possibly, at times, a diseased udder. Careful sterilization of utensils will eliminate this trouble.
