Under authority of the Postmaster General, on acocunt of recent increases in wages to employes, totaling for the State of Oregon up wards of $225,000.00, certain changes in exchange rates have been ap COOLING MILK ON THE FARM proved and made effective July 29. 1919, for the State of Oregon. During Hot Weather It Is Best to Ar. range System So That Water Comes Direct From Well. The changes in rates apply particularly to residence service, chan ges having been made in the principal business rates May 1, 1919. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) All new business taken on and after July 29th will be at the new rates and bills to present subscribers for the month of August win be rendered at the new rates. A toll charge will be made between Hermiston, Stanfield and Echo commencing July 29th. The increased rates will yield an annual revenue upward of $250.000.00, but as the increase in wages is upwards of $225.000.00. the net return to the Company under the rates now made effective is approximately 212 per cent on the valuation of its property at $13,464,. 000.00, as found by the Public Ser vice Commission. The new schedule of rates is identical with the one approved by the Postmaster General for the State of Washington, which has been in ef fect since March 1, 1919, and the rates are the same for exchanges that are comparable. We believe that no proof as to the advanced cost of living and the general high costs prevailing for labor and materials is necessary and that the telephoning-using public will accept this increase in rates in the same spirit of fairness and consideration as it has the advance in almost every other necessity in these unusual times. Milk may be cooled most efficiently on the farm by running It over a sur face cooler in which the available wa ter supply Is used at its coldest tem perature and the cooling completed by storing the cans of milk in a tank of Ice water. It Is possible In that wny within a short time to lower the tem- perature of milk to below 50 degrees F. Frequently the water used for cool ing milk Is not used to the best ad vantage. Spring water Is sometimes allowed to flow over the surface of the ground and Is warmed several degrees before reaching the cooling apparatus. During the summer water from n stor age tank above ground Is usually much warmer than that drawn directly from the well. It Is best, therefore, to ar range the cooling system so that the water which flows through the sur- face cooler or cooling tank comes di- rectly from the well or, If from a spring. It is conveyed In a pipe well below the surface of the ground. If Ice Is used tn a cooling tank the quan tity of water surrounding the cans should be as email as possible to give satisfactory results. Space enough should be provided between the sides of the tank and the cans of milk to allow for a sufficient quantity of Ice and water to cool the milk properly. If a large volume of water has to be cooled much "more ice will be neces sary. If It is desired to cool milk quickly from an initial temperature of about 85 degrees F. to one of 50 de- G. je X.

The secret of another German key industry has bren discovered, the man ufacture of artificial mothcr-of-pearl. .1. W. H. Dow. a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, found the process af ter much patient experimenting. Doctor Dew was engaged during the whole period or the war in reconstruct ing. step by step, the method of manu facture. Artificial mother-of-pearl is used for making fancy buttons, dress trhmings ■ nd many other articles. Before the war most of It came from Germany. Inexpensive Concrete Tank. Ice-Water grecs F. by setting the cans In a tank of ice water, the Ice water In the tank should have a temperature of about 37 degrees F. Under these conditions about four gallons of water will suffice for each gallon of milk. In order to cool and hold milk at low temperatures on the average farm n properly constructed cooling tank is necessary. In fact most dairy farms have some sort of tank In which wa ter or water and Ice gre used to cool and store milk. When an abundant supply of cold-running water contin ually passes through the tank It Is un necessary to go to the expense of in sulation. -FOR- The Cold Water In the Old Well.

MAKE AND USE STERILIZER Necessary for Production of Dairy Products of High Quality—Steam Is Recommended. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) . Sterilization of dairy utensils is necessary for the production of dairy products of high quality, particularly milk, and cream, because the washing of dairy utensils, at least by the proc ess generally used. Is not sufficient to Insure freedom from Infection and contamination.
