BIG TIRES— EXCESS MILEAGE “Don't pay two taxes" is the timely slogan of the Door county (Wis.) live stock committee. Few farmers realize Unit they are paying In addition to their regular tax a “poor-cow tax." This “poor-cow tax" is about the heaviest, robs the pocket book, and profits no one. “You have just paid your annual property tax.

The picture haunted him strangely. He found himself forced to return again to the dingy room. “Angela came every day to see him,” Tonic told Burrows, “Sometimes she made good things and brought them for his and big Tonle's supper.

Wenern Newspaper Union, MILK STRAINING IMPORTANT Utensils and Strainer Cloths Should Be Thoroughly Washed and Then Sterilized. , I (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Strainer cloths containing 35,000,000 | bacteria per square inch have been i found In use on dairy farms. The average strainer cloth, of which about 36 square inches is in contact J with the milk, is likely to contain fully a billion bacteria If it is not washed | and sterilized after each milking. If the cloth Is folded, the number of bacteria Is likely to be still greater. Milk produced under conditions I where utensils were not sterile wns found to contain more than 666,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. When all utensils were sterilized, the average bacterial count was only about 31.000 per cubic centimeter or I less than one-twentieth as many. Bacteria In milk are not necessarily injurious to health, but they reduce Its keeping quality. Certain kinds of bac teria, if too numerous, also affect its palatability. For the production of clean milk the department of agricul ture urges strict sanitation In every dairy operation. Utensils and strainer cloths should be thoroughly washed with warm water and washing powder, then rinsed in clean water and ster ilized by boiling or steaming for five minutes. After sterilization, the utensils, including palls, cans, strain- ers, and strainer cloths, should be Theladios’Feme Jourm.l The Saturday Evening Post $734, and on 83 fnrms with scrub sires there was an annual loss averaging $234. The scrub sires on these farms were responsible for at least part of the good or bad showing. A poor bull Is an extravagance which Door county farmers cannot afford. "Watch us grow a reputation" Is the enthusiastic part ing challenge of the committee which Is boosting better hulls In this penin sular county. Practically every farmers' organiza tion of the county—Grange, the Soci ety of Equity, the Association of Guernsey Men, the Holstein Cattle club—is co-operating in the better-bull campaign. What In reality amounts to a farm bureau—a committee made up of a representative from each township and with the county agent as managing di rector—is directly responsible for the county's drive to repinee the grade and scrub bulls with good pure breds. “To keep its lead In dairying arid live stock raising Wisconsin must dis card Its scrub sires," said the executive committee of county agents and repre sentatives of all of the state's cattle breeders’ associations. “Count on Door county to help," said this live live-stock committee. "Al though somewhat off to one side, the Door peninsula is still on our map, and we are going to stay there. In one of our townships, which happens to be an island six miles out in Lake Michi gan, each man contracted more than a year ago to use only purebred bulls and every one agreed to stay by bnt one breed." And by means of this same kind of teamwork the other townships of the county are promising to follow suit "The entire county is going to wage war on the scrub—only upon a much more extensive scale." The county agent spoke as If he represented men who meant business. "The committee Is out to give their county a reputation for the production of as high-class cattle as It already has for Montmorency and Early Richmond cherries.” Echo Flour Mills BREED DAIRY HEIFER EARLY Echo, Oregon Purpose Should Be to Get System of Animal Into Milk Producing Habit Before Maturity.
