HOW TO KKKP MILK
KWKKT IN HOT WKATHKIl.
We shall never learn to keep milk
Bweet iu hot weather uitUl we first
understand what makes it uour. The
souring of milk in due to a genu
called bacteria iactib aeidj, or, iu
plain English, luetic acid bacteria. !
There are very few, if any, of these
bacteria in the milk a it comes from .
the cow. They llnd entrance to the
milk in various wayu, and increase
wry slowly no lout; an the milk is
J('It hHow 10 di-Krees. The higher
the teii)ieratme is raised, the more
rapidly they increase, and iho growth
becomes rapid when the milk n kpt
at a temperature of from tJO to 70
decree. When it readies from SO
to 90 degrees, or as long as it main
tains about the temperature of the
row, around HH degrees, the increase
is very rapid and that stage of de
velopment called souring Is reach eil
In a comparatively short time. There
fore the aim of the fanner who would
keep his milk sweet is to prevent the
en trail' i of thene bacteria in large
iiiMj'ln'tH nnd to keep down the tem
p"iatiii' at Iva.-i to that of wvll wa
ter. ii r about t;p degrees.
T: m- : :n t 1 wh-i'-vr n
ki'pl;,g miik sweet a reasonable
b-imili of Mine, if it Is handled in a
cleanly w:tv always in clean utensils
and fn cb'au surroundings. M my a
(own wonifM) has complained that the
mill; will not keep swe-t even a day
when the trouble is that the milk
has been spill. d in her refrigerator
and it is iiip-d with the -e itii tf
laciic acid bacteria. If there should
he one clap of thunder in the twenty- :
Tour hours, she will blame that for !
the souring of the milk, whereas the i
fact is that neither lightning or I
thunder has the slightest effect on !
milk. It sours eolely th rough the I
..rflM'i. di' : j ; )a;'cr'a. There
are various other kinds of bacteria '
whirh may cause tlie milk to decay. I
but !u s iiriug cumi-s only through
this particular kind of bacteria. 1
Many a farmer's wife complains j
that the milk will not Keep swet, ;
whereas any person who bus given i
the subject careful study will not be j
slow in locating the cause, namely, !
cans, the seams of which are full of J
these bacteria. These germs are kil-i
led at a temperature of about 1X0'
degrees, :i2 degrees le.-s thnn boiling!
water. They are also killed by sun-j
light. If the vessel thnt is to con
4 it I ii milk has first ucmi washed with i
cold water, then I ho roughly scalded
and exposed to sunlight, there will
he no trouble fn kHping the milk
sweet, provided the proper low tem
perature Is maintained.
The bacteria that cause souring
multiply so rapidly at any degree of
temperature above 60 or "0 that no
person should expect to keep milk
sweet unless they keep the tempera
ture down to tiO. There Is no dlilicu!
ty in handling milk in n rh-iuily way
In clean vessels nnd at the tempera
ture or well water. If milk sours at
this tempera t ur one may bo very
certain that there is a lack of clean
liness somo where.
Men who handle milk resort, to a
great many schemes to make it seem
Bweet.. It Is easy lo dope it with dis
infectants which wll! kill Ihe germs,
euch us formaldehyde or horacic
acid; but iust tn the exfont that these
are u'd, the divvtfbilfty of the milk
Is b rsened and it is less fit for human
food. The two great recpi isites in
keeping milk sweet art' absolute
cleanliiH"-s and a low temperature

The estimate of General Manager
Alfred Heevea, of the American Mo
tor Car Manufacturers' Association,
that plans for 1!H0 call for the pro
duction of 200,000 cars is suggest
ive of big things in the effect upon
general trade. The output for 1909
will he 70,000 cars, so that if the es
timate for 1910 Is realized the in
crease will be phenomenal. Mr.
Reeves states that, the figures may
not be rt ached, because it may be
impossible for the builders to accom
plish the feat, but he claims a sure
increase of 125 per cent on the pres
ent year. The automobile business
appears to be on a sound footing,
says the Iron Age. Its organization
has effect til an agreement which pre
cludes the possibility of disastrous
losses due to u n w a r ra n t ed c red its,
Consequently, so radical an advance
In production does not seem so dan

competition Included the giving of
discounts to customers and the ac
ceptance of t heir notes for a large
part of the pur. base pi i.-e. There
fore, those of whom the automobile
trade U a customer may look forward
to the outcome with complacency. It
is realized everywhere that with the
present rale of production the auto
mobfle trade has b "fn the bt of all
buyers in the machinery market for
the last two years, and this affords
the basis of some understanding of
what the influence will be when the
output is much more than doubled.
The customer that proved a main sup
port In dull times should occupy an
equally conspicuous place in good
times. Tho steady increase of manu
facturing space and equipment must
g.j on without interrupiion. nor only
among the automobile builders them
selves, but with the makers of parts
and accessories In myriad variety.
The value of cars alone, averaging
$1200. will approach $:0H,(i0O,0o6.
but the Initial cost of a car is only
the beginning of expenditures, which
continue in the form of replacements,
repairs, accessories and supplies.

Scientific American: We have re
col veil front a n a d ve r 1 1 s i n g fir m I :i
San Krancisco a copy or a proposed
calendar, whose aim is to avoid the
acknowledged drawbacks of the lireg
orian calendar by substituting one
that is b"tter suited to toe require-
ments of ,our day-by-day life. Al- j
though tho Gregorian calendar dates
from the year 15S2. long before that
many and various improvements hnd
be.'ii suggested for conveniently di
viding the :ttlij days of the year Into
weeks and months. Our correspond
ents a;U: "Are we not again far
enough advanced beyond the times o
3 ."f s 2 to adopt certain other changes?"
and they offer a calendar which di
vides the "i2 weeks of the year into
13 months, eajh having exactly
days. The first of January and the
Hist of every one of the twelve suc
ceeding months fall on n Sunday, and
the 2Mb or last day of each mouth,
therefore, fallrf' on a Saturday. The
obvious ad vantage of th is arrange
ment is that, since each day of. the
week must bo one of four numbers
eut of the 2S (Sunday for any month
of ihe year being either the 1st. sth.
li.th, or 22nd: Tuesday either the
3rd. 10th, 17th. or 21th. etc.). if
em- knows the day of the week, it is
possible to find the day of the month
oil irk' v and without reference to a
calendar.
The additional month necessary
under 'his syst mii Is named by its
.--p-j-ipors "Vincent," and it Is placed
in t h e ca 1 en d a r bet w i v n June a n d
July.
Thirteen months of 2S days each,
however, give a total of oniy :!i4
d;ivs tor the year, and to accommo
date the odd day. it is proposed that
b"iveen Saturday, the laM day of
Dei ember, and Sunday, the first day
of January, there should be a day to
be known as "Anno Day." It is not
recognised as a calendar day. ami be
yond its name, has no other distinc
tion to separate it from the last day
i of December. Any labor dnne on
j Anno Day would have to be a matter
of special contract or agreement. No
i n 1 1 'res-, o r rental will a -c ru e u po n
that day. and :m- all su"h purposes
it would be considered a part of Sat
urday. December 2Sth. Leap Year is
provided for by an extra day between
Saturday. Vincent 14th. and Sunday.
Vincent 1Mb. ThU would bo knowu
as "Mid Anno P;iv." and it would

the proposed calendar, in respect of
